Mr. Carson, with oonsideishie impatience
of manner. "You can't sty Vary, and you
might as well give it up at once."
Memory had kept with daguerreotype
fidelity the erpression of his wife's face,
when he Elun# back upon her this unfeel
ing interdiction, and now it was before
him in all its rebuking sadrkess.
"Loving and patient." This wet the
commentary. No angry, impatient, or re
bellious word escaped her lips, nor did a
frown disfigure her brow. But she seemed
to shrink before him, as if a strong hand
had borne down hard upon her.
Two months from that time news came
of the mother's sudden Mmes.
I must go home now," die said.
"It is impossible for me to accompany
you—wait for a few days. Your mother
will be well again."
-I can go alone, Thomas," urged Mrs.
Carson.
.1 "1 will not consent to that, Mary," was
positively objected. Next week, if your
mother should continue to grow worse, I
will go with you."
"Oh, Thomas! If I should never see
her again !"
"You indulge a needless alarm," said
the husband c o ldly. "This sickness is but
temporary, and will pass away."
The pleader was silenced, but the pale,
sad face gave signs of intense suffering.—
A whole week pasties! without another

in these words:
"Your mother is dying Come! Oh,
come quickly ! We have been looking for
you es cry hour during the last four days.
Don't delay a moment after receiving this,
if you would see your mother alive."
There was no objection to urge now.—
hut when Mrs. Carson re-crossed the
threshold over which she had gone forth a
bride, it was to fall, with a deep wail of
anguish. insensibly across the bed where
lay the cold form of her almost idolized
mother. latek to whom she had so panted
te tty, through more than a year of patient
waiting.
There ,vas a strange expression in the
face el Mrs. t'arsen for months afterwards.
Its meaning her husband did not it, , ek to

Months piessed before any warmth came
back to her cheeks, or any light to her

escaped her lips. She was loving, dutiful,
and patient. But she never spoke to Mr.
oarson of her mother. Once or twice he
referred to the dear departed one, but she
did not seem to hear his remark ; and he,
from a vague suspicion of the truth, held
hack from repealing the reference.
With what painful distinctness was this

grieving over his great loss, in the desolate

had departed forever. Ob, what would he

Judge Inaok's answer to Sena
tor Douglas.
From the Constitution
As briefly as possible, eschewing all mat
ters personal or quasi personal, and with
out introduction or preface, 1 shall notice
the only points in Mr. Douglas' last paxn
phlet that are worthy of attention.
Be denies that his views on "Sovereign
ty in the Territories," as expressed in Har
per's Magazine, are inconsistent with those
of the Supreme Court in the Dred Scott
case. I aver, on the contrary, that he could
not have made such a denial if he had not
totally misunderstood either his own opin
ions or those of the court ; for they are in
direct conflict with one another. A plain
issue of fact is thus made up between us,
and it is triable by the record. Let us look
at it.
The court, after demonstrating in the
clearest manner that. the Federal Govern
.meat had no authority or jurisdiction to
abolish slavery in a Territory, proceeded
to say what Mr. Douglas himself has quoted
on page 530 of the magazine :
"And if Congress ittte/j cannot do this—if it
is beyond the powers conferred on the Fed
eral Government—it will be admitted we
presume. that et could not alit/ion:ea Tel-no/l
a ti.ocervient to exercise them. It could
confer nopower on any local government
established by its authority to violate the
provisions of the Constitution."
This is in substance the very identical
proposition which Ur. Douglas, on page
ten. pronounces to be "as plausible as it is
,fallacioe..." He adds, that "the reverse of it
is true as a general rd::" and then supports
his assertion by another assertion the most
singular that ever was placed on record by
any man having the slightest pretensions
to a knowledge of our government ; name
ly. that Congfeas could confer upon a Terri
tory such powers. "and ONLY such as Oni
yr,s, cao,a.l exercise under the Constitution!"
There is the record ; and I am perfectly
sure that no tolerably sensibly man in this
nation, except Mr. Douglas, will doubt for
a -moment that it places him and the Court
in an attitude of perfect antagonism.
But then he says he defend the Court
I s
in more than- one hundred spe cs . It can
stqircely be necessary to say, t t arguments
on a question of law are valued according
to their aright, and not according to their
70,mber. The count of Mr. Douglas' speech
es on the Illinois slump was, no doubt,
faithfully kept ; hut, when he claims cred
it for their orthodoxy, he must show some
thing more than scores on a tally paper.
Ile might as well come, with his Harper
article in one hand and a two foot rule in
the other, ready to demonstrate his con
currence with the Court by showing that
it contains two thousand eight hundred
and eighty-square inches of surface. With
out reference to the superficial measure of
one or the carefully enuntertued repetitions
of the other, we may safely presume that
the quatity,of his spoken arguments was not
better than that of his written essay ; and
in this letter Mr. Douglas not only opposed
the Court, but, what is much worse, be
charges it with holding his opinions. This
is a deep and serious injury ; for, how
would the Judges of that great tribunal be
able to look their country in the face, if
they had ever said, that a power over pri
vate property, forbidden to the Federal
Government, might be delegated by Con
gress to a Territorial Legislature l'

keep them if he changes his residence to
Western Europe or to the American States.
So it undoubtedly is with slavery: no man
in his senses ever contended, that a Vir
ginian, going to live in Pennsylvania, could
take his slaves with him, and keep them
there, in spite of the Pennsylvania law.—
But if he goes to Kentucky, wherelhe law
is not opposed to slavery, it is equally clear,
that he retains all the dominion over them,
which he had before his remnyal. The
right of property, no matter where it ac
crued, continues to be sacred and inviola
ble until it comes in collision with a law
which divests it. In a Federal Territory
there can be no such collision with the
right of a slaveholder, because there is no
conflicting law there on that subject.
All authority, as well as all reason and
common sense. is in favor of this doctrine.
it-was the rerypoint of the Dred Scott ease.—
Dred was the slave of Dr. Emerson, in Mis
souri, and was taken by his master to a
Federal Territory, where -there was -no va
lid law which either expressly authorized
or expressly interdicted the holding of
slaves. Thu Court held that Dred Scott's
status in Missouri was not changed, nor
the right of his master divested, by his re
moval to ths Territory. The principle was
al.t•lci .1 t ,, the GM of a slave just as it
would be'appled to am other propo y. It
is half - a score of time by the
Judges, that there can be no distinction
between the slave and other property. The
other authorities to the same point are eon
elusive and overwhelming. Any person
who desires to see all the learning of the
subject may consult "GM osiSzreery," where
it is arranged in an order so lucid, and dis
cussed with so much ability, that nothing
further need be desired:
There is one other authority directly to
the point which I cite. not only for its own
intrinsic value, but because it will probab
ly be esteemed very highly by Kr.pg.
las himself. It is an extract from asp e ech
of his own delivered in the Senate on the
23c1 of February_ last. The legal equality
of slave property and other property was
then asserted by him in the following fash
ion :
NUMBER 24
"Slaves, according to that decision, [the
Dred Scott deoision,) being property, siand
on an equalftg with all other property.—
There is just as much obligation on the
part. of the Territorial
,Legislature to protect
skateed as every other species of prop e rty, as
there is to protect Aorta, cattle,
. se goods,
liquor, &c. If they have a right to rim
mate as to the one, they have as to the
other, and whether they - have got the pow
er of discrimination or not, is for the Court
to decide, k any one disputes it. * * If
there is no power of discrimination on other
property, there is none as to slaves. If there is
a power of discrimination as to the other
property—and I think there is--then it
applies to slave property. In other words,
slaveerty. property ie
s, on an equal footing with all other
pro
- In the face of all this, in the teeth of
his mown words so recently uttered, in defi
ance of the Supreme Court and all judicial
authority, Mr. Douglas now declares that
the "axiomatic principle of public law,"
which enables a man to remove his proper
ty from place to place, wherever the local
law does not forbid its coming, is not ap
plicable to slaves. To sustain himself 111
making this distinction he produces two
short passages, both of which have been
picked out of one paragraph in Story's
"Conflict of Laws." These passages (will
the reader believe it ?) nacre)) , show that a
slave becomes free taken to a country where
slavery is not tolerated by law! Judge Story
cites cases decided -in England, France,
Scotland, and MiussaChusetts, to prove that
the laws of those countries, being opposed
to slavery, will dissolve the relation of mas
ter and slave when brought in contact with
it. I say, that slaves may be taken to
Kansasor Kentucky without being eman
cipated : Mr. Douglas, With great gravity
and complacency, answers me, that I am
wrong. because slavery is not tolerated in
England 01 Miireachusetss l No instance of
a no', s ey,,itu r so glaring. and so palpable has
ever before fallen under my notice.
Mr. Douglas forbears to burden his pages
with "the long list of authorities" which
he -nys are cited by Judge Story. It is a
curiou, fact that not a single one of those
authorities touches the question in contro
versy between us. They all, without ex
ception, refer to cases in which there was
a direct conflict between the law of the
country where the slave came from, and
the law of the country to which he was
taken. No one of the writers referred to
has outraged common sense by saying or
hinting, that slaves are made free by mere
removal without any such conflict of law.
The quotation from the opinion of the Su
preme Court in Prigg vs Pen/my/wine, is
made with the same rashness and with no
nearer approach to the point.
The public will doubtless be somewhat
surprised by Mr. Douglas' loupe mode of
dealing with books. I have no right to
suppose that he intended to insult the in
telligence of his readers, or to impose upon
their ignorance by making a parade of
learning and research, which he did not
possess. But how shall we account for
quotations like those? I am obliged to
leave the riddle unread.
11. Assuming that slaves taken from a
slaveholding State into a Territory continue
to be slaves, can the rights of their owners
fi.afterwards divested by an act of the Ter
if
-c
the Territories are sovereign States';
not, not. On this question Mr. Douglas
has placed himself in a most peculiar po
sition. Heretofore he has alternately af
firmed and denied the sovereignty of the
Territories, In his last pamphlet he seems
to think the middle way safest : he admits
that they are not sovereign, but asserts that
they have "tie allnbula of sovernynty." The,
is not all ingenious. It must be apparent
to the dullest understanding that a gov
ernment, which has the attributes of sov
ereignty, is sovereign.
Sovereignty is the supreme authority of
an independent state. No government is
sovereign which may he controlled by a
superior government. As applutd to po
litical structures, supremacy and sovereign
ty tire convertible terms. 'to prove this

Governments always act by their agents.
but the agent, whether it be an individual
officer or a political corporation, likes city
or Territory, is not in any case sovereign,
-supreme, and uncontrollable. Thus the
arguments of Mr. Douglas, which he elab
orates through page after page with wear
isome pains, are but touched with the
finger of investigation, and they disappear
forever. -

Mr. Douglas, the Senator, the statesman,
tote struggling candidate for the Presiden
ts!, should not have borrowed from the
lawyearlings and small wits of the Abolition
party, the stale, often repeated, and worn
out assertion, that emigrants cannot have
a right to the property they take with
them, because it will introduce, in the Ter
ritory or State where they settle, all the
conflicting laws of the different States from
whence they came. Nothing coulikbe less
worthy of his high place in the councils of
the nation. He ought to know that goods
of various kinds are going continually into
each State from all other States in the
Union. without producing any such effects.
He does know that nearly all the personal
property within the limits of a new Terri
tory has come therefrom abroad under the
protection of the axiomatic principle which
he thinks proper to sneer at ; and he nev
er heard that any difficulty or confusion was
produced by it.
I never said, than an emigrant-to a Terri
tory had a right to his property without a
remedy ; but I admit that be must look for
his remedy to the law of-his new domicil.
It is true that he takes his life, his limbs,
his reputation, and his property, and with&
