standing of our fathers who fruited the

But,- so far, I have been considering:
the understanding of the question maul-
Tested by the framers of the original
Constitution. In and by the original
instrument, a, mode was . provided: for
:'itnending it; and, as I have already
:stated, - the present frame of Government
under which we live consists of that or- i
and twelve anic.indatory a'tieies
framed and adopted since. Those who:
now insist that Federal.control of slavery i
-in Federal Territories violates the Con-,
ftuution, point us to the provisions:
-Which they suppose it thus violates; and:
as I understand, they all fix upon pro
-visions in these innendtitory articles, and
trot in the . original instrument. The S
upreme:
Court in the Deed Scott case,:
plant themselves upon the fifth amend
ment, which':provides that "no person l•
-shall he deprived of property without &ei
process of; law;" while Senator Douglas
and his peculiar. adherents plant them-:
selves UnZat the tenth amendment provid
ing that . "the:powers not granted by the,
. - Ctnstitution are resers'ed to the States:
re-pectively, and to the people." - Now-,
it so_ happens that the.sa amendments:
were framed by the first Congress which . :
sat under the Constitutfon—the identical ,
Congress which sat under the Constitu-:
ti in—the identical Congress which passed!
the act already mentioned, enforcing the!
prohibition of slavery in the North-west-i
Territory. [Applause ] Not only
Vas it the same : Congress, but they were:
'the identical, same. individual men who,:
at the•sslob session, _at the' same time
within the -scSdon, bad-unde.r considers-1
lion, and: in progress toward maturity.
these constitutional amendments and!
this act prohibiting slavery in all the ter- 1
ri tory •the nation :then owned. The con
stitutional amendments were introduced
before and.passed after the - act of enforc
ing the ordinance of 1757.; so that
dur
iag-the-whole pendency of the aet to en-,
forcing the ordinance, the constitutional
amendments Were also pending. :That
Congress; consisting in all of seventy-six
members, including sixteen of the fri.-1
nmrs of the original Constitution, -as:bo
fore-stated.. were .pre-eminently our is- I
thers-who framed that part of the Gov
eminent under which we live, which is I
now claimed as i'orbiddino: the Federal
G'overnmei3t: to control slavery in the
Federal . Territories. Is it not a little
- presumptuous in any one at this:day io
adirut that the two things which dila
Congress deliberately framed and carried
to maturity at the same time are aboso
lutely inconsistent with each other? And
dots riot such affirmation become impu
dently absurd-when coupled with the oth

We ask the attention of our rea
ders to I:u:coin's Cooper Institute speech,
which wo commence this week. It will
be concluded in "our next. Let every
Republican read it, and hand it to every
democrat in your vicinity: It will do
good to any body who reads it, whether
it produces entire conviction or not.
Honest John Covode has been
re-nowinated for Congress by the Repub
licans of the Westworeland or XlXth
District. He refused to allow f the use of
his name at first, but finally consented to
lead his.friends to victory once wore, be
was tirst elected is 1554. We rejoice at
ibis evidence of the desire of Republicans
to continue the services of good Repre
sentatives when they have proved their
worth by trial.
Ct~lt is not often that we have occa
sion to quote with approbatibn anything
that falls from the lips of Caleb Cush
ing; but a man has to be a great deal
smarter than he. to live as long without
saying a single sensible thing. Caleb
has at last said his. lore it is:,
"Abraham Lincoln is a Mich abler
man than is generally StipPosed, even in
hiS own party. In his 'CiItiV3ES. with
Deuglas he beat him in law, beat him in
argument, and . heat him in wit; and the
published debates of that canvass. will
sustain thisassertion." ----
The Republicans in the " Wild
cat" District have Laminated Gen. John
Patton,. of Clearfield, as their candidate
for Corgress. Flo is a strong man . in Ms
own County, where his strength is needed,
and his, election is pretty certain. Ills
opponent is Jas. K. Kerr, 'a yonng law
yer of Venango county.. He cannot hold
Ms own at home Where be is best known,
and Gen. Patton will have an easy
victo
ry.... Mr. Kerr is a little mder than..our
self: and represented the Democracy
of Crawford in the State ASseuibly. •He
was a scboolniateef ours in the Titusville
common schbol; - and we bavetknown him
from boyhood up. Ho will do very Well
to represent the blackest pbase-of.modern
democracy in an' election campaign, but
.
is not'fitto represent the intelligent • VM;

The_ board of County Justices of

met at the Court House on the 14th hst:,
to organize by. electing a Chief Justice.
There are sixteen justices, and on can
vassing their political sentinients it was
discovered tEnt ten of them were out-and
out Rep - iblicans. The result of, the'
meeting was natural—Wm. L. Crawford,
a true-blue Republican and a+ true - mail,
being elected to preside at the county
Court, thus cutting Hancock county off
from allegiance-to the tired Scott decis
ion, and causing Virginia honor to bristle
at the independence of its rebel citizens

in this paper) leaves us at liberty to - erpress

Letter. from St. LamOrence ~•
Cou.nly, 17.1- ,*
- MR. EDITOR . : I have bed i n tcareling
and sojour.t.ing, for some weeks past, iu
the county above named, tifd deeming
that communication.. fronn
. distance
may not he altogether unacceptable
the. readers of your paper, I #rite. • ."
The 'surface of this .region! presents a'
very different appearance frOin Out of
Potter bounty In several . respects. I. al
lude miff particularly to the uhrthwestern
part of St. Cuuntv consisting of a
broad' strip, 20 - or more Miles in width,
along the St, Lawrence rive 6 and of a
length Sufficient to make it 4eite equal
in extent to the whole of Niter. ' , This
strip or belt of land may be described as
a vast Plateau,. studded, with uutnerOus.
bluffs and slight elevations, but contain
in,g no high
_hills, or such as would ,be
called high . .iu Allegany co u n ty, Y., or
even in Potter.
-
An-other feature of this region that is
-greatly different from what' °Utah's- in
Potter county, is the great number of
stcctnips, some of which are many acres iii
extent.- When properly drained,—and
the •most df them would be, hough pro
-bably be majority
,of them lore" net,—
they become ex"ceedingly productive.
The St. Lawrince river bounds , the
county
,on the northwest, separating it
&bin. the Queen's dominions' : in • Canada'
West. The rivers which course through 1
the County, take their rise iiithe high
lands, fur back from the big i-iver, up - in'
or beyond what is here called t‘ The South
Woods.": On reaching,the plateau, these I
rivers meander about• in well nigh
.the'
most, crooked crosses imaginable ; but
nicisvor all of them -- ; on 'Marring the . Si.'"
Lawrence, proceed for some Mires nearly
parallel with it. The whole emintry here"
is underlaid with rock; and leach river,)
as also each smaller stream; instead ofi
htirrying, along on an inclined planed
creeps slowly along en nearly or quite a,
dead level; until it comes to a ledge
..ofl
rocks, .down which it plungcS in either a
cascade cr a series of cascades, a stair
case rapid ,or a series; of such rapids, be
row which the stream creeps:FM as before.
Of course, here are many-of the best and!
most col:Ye:lint water-pow i ers in the
world. • , . 1
The rock which uiderliesithis county
is•part of it limeston , and part of it some
other kind •of rock. (The t' rmologicall
name of.of.muck of this last, I believe, is.
gneiss.) :At a' certain distance from the.
St. Lawirenee . river, there are rocky ridges,
of various sizes, piled up on; top of the
rocky floor: of the country; land among
these are. some as beautiful' and fertile
flats as are likely to be fOUud any where.
In fine, the half of St,_ Lawlience county'
nest to the St. •Lnwrence ricer, is ex:l
ceedingiy well adapted to 'grazing and 1
grain-griming purposes. T;COncernino. the
' other half, ,I am not qualified to speak.l
make this
But I make this article'Mainly 'fur- the!
purpose of saying—what ,yeti yourselfare
probably well aware of-- 1- that iSt, -Lw.y-i'
rence is a strong Republican . county.— i
IThe Lincoln men here proftis thenitelves
i entirely certain that, they shall roll up a j
1 tremendous .majority for him this fall;,
I
• and I ani the wore inclined to think that
I they will, from the fact that they seem
liviiiingand determined to taiork for it.,
