Letter Iroiu Frauds P. Blair, SILVER SPRING, MARVLAXP, J December 2, 1855. { To Messrs. Daniel R. Goodloe and Lewis ClepAune, Corresponding Committee of the Republican Association of Washing ton City, D. f'.'—. GENTLEMEN :—Having relinquished po litical employment, and, to avciH%Bcounter ing again its anxieties, addicted myself to country life, lam constrained to 11 our invitation to join the Republican As sociation of Washingten Citv, although tempted by the honor of becoming its pre- I siding officer. Yet I feel it my duty to say that in the main 1 concur in the aims of j iI be Association. To exclude Slavery from the territories of the United States, and to rebuke the violation of the compromises which were made to stand as covenants be tween the Slave and Free States to effect that exclusion, are, in my opinion, the most important movements which have engaged tbe public mind since the Revolution. The extension of Slavery over the new territories would prove fatal to their pros perity; Lot the greatest calamity to be np preltended from it is the destruction of the Confederacy, on which the welfare of the whole country reposes. Every conquest of this element of discord, which has so of ten threatened the dissolution of tbe Union increases the danger. Every surrender of the Free States invites invasion. The cause which your organization is in tended to promote may well draw to its sup port men of alPparties. Differences on questions of policy, on constitutional con struction, of modes of administration, may well be merged to unite men who believe that nothing but concert of action on the part of those who would arrest the spread of slavery, can resist (be power of the comb nation now etnltodied to make it em brace the coutincnt front ocean to ocear. The rejiealing clause of the Kansas bill tsf prsdrrfiteff r.ti the auHrty nf tbe clause in the constitution which gives Congress the power "to make regulations respecting the territories of the United States." Y* et nothing is clearer in the history of our gov ernment, than this phrase giving power to Congress to make regulations respecting the territories, was meant to give it the power to exclude slavery from them. Mr. Jefferson's resolutions of 1784 de claring ''lhat there shall be neither slavery nor involuntary servitude iu any of the States" laid off in the Western territory, was subsequently renewed in the Congress of 1785, which added, "that this regula tion shall be an article of compact," and it was so voted unanimously by the delega tions of eight States out of the twelve. It was passed by the unauimons votes of all the States by the Congress of 1787, which sat contemporaneously with the Con vention forming the Constitution, and that Constitution gave Congress the power to make regulations respecting the tenitories, and moreover affirmed the validity of the engagements entered into before the adop tion of the Constitution, by the Confedera tion—one of which engagements was that made by the regulation excluding slavery from the territories. Thus the Congress of the Confederation and the Constitution uni ted iu giving a double sanction to the ex clusion. The first exerted the power of enacting Mr. Jefferson's interdict of slavery in the territories then held by the United States ) to which it had previously given an impres sive sanction by adding, "this regulation shall be an article of compact," &c.; and the convention guaranteed this ''engage ment." entered into uuder the Confedera tion, by declaring it valid, and employed the same terms, "regulation of the territo ries," m transmit the power here exerted to future Congresses. In the face of this his tory, and the letter of the Oonstitutiou granting the power to make whatever regu lations it deemed fit, respecting the territo ries of tle Uuited State?, the authors of the Kansas and Nebraska bill deny the consti tutionality of all the regulations which ex clude slavery from the territories, and set at naught all the precedents that confirm them, which have followed hi uninterrupted succession, from the foundation of the gov ern incut Tbat other clause iu the Constitution, em powering Congress to pass laws to preveut tho migration or importation of slaves after 1808, shows the fixed purpose of the found ers of our Union to limit the increase of this evil. The consequence was au inhibi tion, whieh preveuta a South Carolina plan ter, who hag slaves iu Cuba, from bringing them to his home plantation, and to re move this obstruction to the increase of slavery wituiu the Union, and open Africa to suiipiy the demand made by the new act, the Northern uul liter? are alrcndy called on BEDFORD, PA., FRIbA \ JANUARY 4,1856. 'by -bftir Southern allies to lemi tbeir aid: and certainly those who embrace Mr. Cal houn's doctrine, as stated by Mr. Douglas that every citizen has an inalienable right to move into any of the territories with his property, of whatever kind or description, I tie constitution and compromises not with- j standing, can hardly refuse it. It was on | tie annexation of the Mexican territories dbatMr- Oalhonn asserted this principle, to uosettle the tired policy of the nation, be ginning with the era of the Declaration of Independence; and he applied it alike to the compromise of 1820 and 1850. Mr. Douglas thus sums up the position taken, and the result:— "Under this section, as in the case of the Mexican law in New Mexico and Utah, it is a disputed point wheth er slavery is prohibited in the country by valid enactment. Tbe decision of this question involves the constitutional power of the domestic institutions of the various territories of the Union. In the opinion of tltosc eminent statesmen who hold that Congress is invested with n rightful au thority to legislate upon tbe subject of sla very in the territories, the eighth section of the act preparatory to the admission of Missouri is null and void, while the pre vailing sentiment in a large portion of the Union sustains the doctrine that the Con stitution of the United Suites secures to every citizen an inalienable right to move into any cf the territories with bis proper ty. of whatever kind and description, and to hold and enjoy the same under the sanc tion of law. Your committee do not feel themselves called upon to enter into the discussion of those controverted questions. They involve ttie same grave issues which produced the agitation, the sectional strife, and the fearful struggle of 1850." From this it appears that the compro mises of IS2O and 1850 involved the ques tion of the validity of die law of Mexico excluding slavery from the newl v-ceded Mexican territory , and the law ot our ovvii Congress excluding it from that north of ! the line of EG 30. Mr. Douglas' Commit j tc-e Report recommended, that as "Congress deemed it wise and prudent to refrain from deciding the cotter in contro versy, then, either by affirming or repealing the Mexican laws, or by an act declaratory of the true icteut of the Constitution, and the extent of the protection afforded by it to slave property in the tei ritories, so your committee are not prepared now to rocoty. mend a departure from the course pursued on that memorable occasion, cither bv af firming or repealing the eighth section of the Missouri act, or by an act declaratory of the meaning of the constitution in re spect to the legal points iu dispute." These passages arc quoted to show that the issues made by Mr. Calhoun, as to ti;u constitutionality of the two compromises of 1820 and 1850 were expressly left open for judicial decision, by the committee, who nevertheless swept away, by a clause sub sequently added to their bill, not only the Missouri Compromise of 1820, but also the. Compromise of 1850, which left untouched the Mexican law prohibiting slavery in the ceded territories, and which Webster, Clay, Beuton, and all the leading lights of the Senate, (with the exception of Mr. Calhoun) pronouueed valid, aud an effectual restric tion. This repeal was the adoption of Mr. Cal houn's nullifying doctrine in extent. The power of Congress to make laws excluding slavery forever from its territories, as such, was denied, aud all the territories were opened to slavery, on the ground of the in alienable right of every citizen to move in to any of the territories with his of whatever kind or description; and the law of squatter sovereignty was superadded and substituted for the sovereignty of the United States over tho public domuiu.— Thus fell, at the dictation of Mr. Atchison, supported by the coalition effected between Whigs and Democrats of tho South, uuder the pressure and through the intrigues of the nulliSeis, Mr. Jefferson's noble princi ple, endeared to tho couutry both for its moral grandeur and politic wisdom. It is the first thought uttered in tho Declaration of Independence, aud to the denunciation of tlie King of Groat Britain for tfio crime of bringiug slavery to our shores, it adds, as the deepest aggravation, that "he has prostituted his negative for suppressing ev ery legislative attempt to prohibit cr to re strain this execrable commerce." The first legislative attempt to restrain the progress of the mischief which the King of Great Britain visited upon this country, was Mr. Jefferson's resolution ex cluding slavery from the territory of the United States in 1781—the next was that introduced by Rufus King, in 17S5—the third that of Nathan Dane, in 1787—a1l receiving tho vote of two-tfiird of the States of the confederacy, and the last the unanimous vote. *> Tito fourth movement was that of the Convention, in the Constitution itself, pro viding against the importation of slaves af j 1808, declaring the binding validity of ibo i engagements entered iuto by the Congress lof the Confederacy on th govern moot of the U. States, to exclude it from the Terri tory, and securing to the new government the power of rwdriog sbfnl.ir provisions for future acquisition of territory. The fifth regulation to restrain the progress of slave ry was that of the Compromise of 1820— the sixth, that of 1850. It is remarkable, thai although these great measures had their frigiu with Demo cratic leaders, Federal and Whig leaders of greatest renown united uttheir support. — The Constitutional provujpns on the sub ject, had the unanimous suffrage of ali the illustrious men in the who framed the Constitution, of the United States: and from the rileqjte on the subject in the State Conventions (jailed to ratify the Constitution, it way well fee presumed that these also were unaaiiaoui in their approval of what had been done the confedera cy. and in the new oonstUatiou to restrain the introduction and Hmitifhe extousion of slavory. And may not ujonof all parties now unite to restore what|he patriots of all potties, daring the first [seventy years of out government eouirihutelto establish! The work of restoration is simple and easy, if the men who the late innova tion on the long-settled jfclicy of the na tion can be indueed to rel#quish petty dif ferences on transitory topiv, and give their ■ uuited voioe, in the next Ijitsideutial elec tion. for some maq whose |opacity, fidelity, and courage can be relied ftp"!) to oppose the issue wltloh the administration has made to control it. the contest has grown out of Presidential Aspirations. The decision of the people at tie polls, in choo sing a chief magistrate, wll end it. Sea- | ators will easily'comply wjen the nation's] power and patronage, and hopes of the future, which animate the leading members of the body. The administration has staked itself ou the stijiport of the party of privilege—of class interest —which makes it a uuit. It ' confides in the suceess which lias ciowned the oligarchy everywhere in the Old World j and secured its triumphs on the maxim, j "Divide and conqutr.'' The Whigs and j Democrat* of the South are a combination, j fcrtfarry into the next Presidency some can- : didate absolute in maintaining the repeal- j itig clause of the Kansas bill, which nullities j the principles of the ordinance, the pro vision* of the constitution made to give j them effect, and all the compromises which | have been made in oursuance of thetu, with j the function of all sections of the Union. If the majority favorable to ihe policy built up with our Government will unite accept the issue tendered by the Adminis tration, and make the repeal of the repeal ing clause of the Kansas act paramount iu the impending contest for the Presidency, all will be restored that has been lost to free institutions by opening the territories North and South, to slavery. The compro mises of 1820 and 1850 being restored, there will not be an inch of the territory of the United States, once exempt from slave ry, on which it can legally intrude: and Mr. Atchison's attempt by au armed force to carry out the nullification plotted in the caucus which gave birth to the Kansas bill, will like tho attempt of his prototype, Mr. Calhoun, to give effect to South Carolina nullification, be paralysed by the flown of au indignant nation, made poteut by an hon est and Gnu executive. And there will cud the career of those gentlemen wito arrogate to themselves the exclusive tutelage of the Democracy of the country, as ended that of Mr. Calhoun and his proselytes, who took the peculiar "barge of the State Rights party. They sunk, un der the universal conviction that their teal for state rights was an ardent passion to reach political power, at the hazard of ex tinguishing iu the Wood of the people the wise and freo institutions it had cost so much to establish. Our innovating Democrats, who put un der foot the representatives principle; who violate the known will of their constituents who scorn their instructions to redress the wrong they hive committed; who reply to the suffrages that condemn their conduct that they are not Democratic suffrage.-; who in the pluuitude of thetn infalibility, read out of the Democratic party Maine, New Hampshire, Connecticut, New l'ork, Penn sylvania, Ohio, Indiana Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin and lowa, because tbey will not submit to the will of these, their represen tatives. who liavo set up a test which must ever *>xeludc Massachusetts, Vermont aud Rhode Jslaad ffoiu its ranks; who have har- ! teied away rights secured to thetu all by ! compacts —will soon learn that Democracy does not reside in the organization of In triguer*, but in the mass of the people. It is the glory of our great that its democracy springs up from the sou! and flourishes in the fresh air of our wide spread country; and that its rich harvests, imparting health, strength and spirit to our whole system, is gathered annually at the polls. The Democracy which is bred in caususcs and cabinets is a sort of hot-bed species—suited to the taste of epicurean politicians, whose appetites are their princi ples. Incumbents aim expectant of offices and dignities claim a sort of patent right in the machine of government to create a dem ocracy adapted to their purposes. Their innovations in the machinery arc contrivan ces to renew their privileges for new terms, and the people are the subjects who are to be used up in it, to pay tribute for this privilege; and take pride iu the skill of the operators. The telegraph wires and the Cincinnati Convention arc to bring all the master!v combinations of the Administration In con taet with the masses at the appointed time. But, will the wires work? Undoubtedly the people, far and wide, will have their in structions from the operators: but the res ponse w ill probably he a thunderbolt to those who have violated their rights, spurned their remonstrances, and, as a consequence have arrayed brothers from the different sections of the Union to she 1 each others" blood in civil war, on the plans of Kan sas. Yours, respectfully. K. V BLAIR. The Zpati of the Jcb-EI-Tour. The scene of the following anecdote is laid in a mountainous region but little known to the European traveller. The few who have extended their wanderings through the north ot Mesopotamia towards Assyria and Persia, have generally followed the caravan route whwh* runs aU.ng the Diarbekir towards Jozirch and Mosul, pas sing through Nisibin am. Mardin, towns ot llo.nan celebrity. However, on our arrival at Diarbekir, we learned that a shorter, though much moic dfircult route, lay through ■i range of mountains which run parallel to the right of the Tigris, and froui the last outlying bulwark of the groat chains of . Asia Minor and Aiimoni. Through thc.se we accordingly took our way; and if we suflered from the toil aud difficulty of our journey, we wera amply repaid by the change frotu the monotonous sceucry and selling at mosphere of the plains, to the bracing and constaut variety of tiiu mountain. We bad been clambering all day over the rugged passes of the Jeb-el-Tour, when, towards evening, we gained the summit of a ridge which overhung a beautiful valley, green and cultivated, and in marked con trast with the savage rocks around. Ab durrachnian reined up his horse, and pointed out the flat roofs and uind walls of Achniedias which wo joyfully hailed as our resting place for the uight. Hut our gide looked on the scene with a far different feeling, and while our caravan was picking a precari ous way down the mouutuiu-side, lie told me the story of his life. Ere the days of the rennuned Cordish chief, Bedar Khan Bev, Aclmiedi was a flourishing Christian village. Secluded in a narrow valley of the Jeb-el-Tour, an! accessible only by one or two difficult nioun- j tain-passes, the inhabitants had enjoyed in ! peace the fruits of their industry, whilst surrounding country wasted by tiie incessant j feuds of Mussulmans and Christiau. or the incursions of Arab plun derers. But, in an evil hour, Beder Kiun Bey rose in power, and extermination to ! the mountain Christian was proclaimed.— Towns aud villages were sacked, whole districts were depopulated, and such of the j unfortunate inhabitants as escaped death by the sword were doomed to drag on ! their existence in a state of hopeless tdave -17- Bat as yet this little vtdiy remained un touched, almost unnoticed. Abderrauu man's father was one of the chief men of the place, hut in consequence of his age and infirmities, much of bis authority devolved upon his son, who naively infored tneof the respect in which he was held by al! toe youug men of the place on account of bi 3 prowess in feats of arms, and his skill iu the chase of the panthers and wild goats which haunt the sui rounding mountains. It is to be supposed that these accomplish ments h.is.d won him the heart of a beauti ful daughter of the fciayah, for Safii had promised to be his wife. In a few days cha marriage was to have taken piaec, when one c vening a lonely fugitive, galicping for life entered the village, and threw himself upon the hospitality of the kiayah. lie was ia staotly received and kindly entertained; his wounds were dressed by his host's daughter, and not until he was thoroughly recovered was he allowed to proceed on his j lurney. But the beauty of his nurse at tracted the young Kurd, and as she rejected all hi* protestations of affection, ho vowed as Le left the roof that had sheltered biui, that willing oi unwilling, the should be his bride withiu three days, lie was a favorite and near relative of Bedar Kuhn Bey, and towards his camp he immediately turned bis horse's head. The Kurdish forces were absent on some errand of devastation, but a band of a doscn bold spirits was soon colccted, and as Safti and the other damsels of Achuiedt were bathing in the cool and shady waters of the moun tain stream which skirts the village, they suddenly swept down, and before the alarm could be raised, tho loveliest of the maidens were secured, and being hurried across the mountains. But little had the marauders dreamed of the euergy despair could give their victims- Towards DOOD, liaviDg put tunny a utile be ; twecn them and tbe scene of their exploit, ' and thinking themselves secure from pur j •.utt, they halted to rest thoir jaded steeds, j The arms of tbir prisoners were unbound, ! but, scarcely had they found themselves free, ] when; us if by one consent, each maiden en | deavored to bury a dagger in the breast of ' the nearest Kurd. Many fell, and, among i t 2 1 others, the young chieftain; but the survi -1 vors took a bloody revenge, and, after titas. sacreing their caytives, hurried away to the Kurdish eanip At this moment, Abdurrachman had, in : pursuit, readied the spot, and found his in ' tended bride in the last agonies of death, j took but a moment to sever a lock of hair 1 wet with her blood, aud alone as he was, he rushed upon the retreating party. Many ; went down before his sword; but, at last, overpowered by numbers, be fell, covered with wounds, and left for dead. Days, j he said, must have passed ere be recovered i !4* *eo!.s, but„ ay soon as be eouKl travel, i lie left t.ho friends that bad discovered and . nutsed him. and returned to Achmedi, to i find it a smouldering heap of ruir.s. The ! Kurds had swept down to avenge the uc.itL of their coatrads, and of the once happy in habitants of the valley not one retrained. With every tie to home thus severd, he left his native mountains, and enlisting iu a body of irregular cavalry, then forming at Diarbekir, tried to drown the recollection of Lis sorrows in the excitement of war and plunder. This was the first time lie had re turned to the Jeb-el-Tour, "but," he said, what is if to me? Achiuod, yonder has ris en again, b"t there are none of my kindred to dwell there; and o: the happy days of uiy youth, the only record that remains is this;" .oid he drew from the folds of his zuboon a iotig tre,s of raven hair, heavy and ' clotted with blood. Such was our Zipti's story, and it is but too comscoii a one iu the mountains of Mes sopotaiuia aud Armenia. The reader will plobably remember the grapic account of the persecution of the Tiyari, contained iu Mr. J-ayuiJ's first work cn on Ninaveb.— Since, then, this unfortunate people have enjoyed comparative peace from oppression. Secluded in their native valley, which can only be approached by the most rugged mountain-paths, scarcely pi ic livable even to the surefooted mules of the country, and governed by their own ttieleks or chiefs, they mix but Rule with the rest of the world; aud now that tho iucursions of the Kurdish uiarudcrs are repressed, they are again re turning to their homes, carrying with them a lively rcmeuiberanee of the name and power of England, which supported them iu exile, delivered ibeui from their oppressors, and restored tbeui to their uative hearths. Tho anecdote we have given above is characteristic of the difference between the Kurd aud Arab. Ar. Arab who once recei ved hospitality, even from tht bitterest foc would forever consider his host's house aud person as sacred, and would protect him from injury, even at the peril of his own life. So strong is that feeling that in bat tle, if tiu enemy can claim the dukhei or friendship of cue of the members of a ttibe, his life is instantly spared. With a kurd it is different. Guided by nc principles of honor, and ameuable to no laws of society, he is alike the dread and scorn of his neighbor.?, aud his name is used by the Arab muleteer to goad on the very uiulcs aud asses, as one of the most disgrac fu! epithets he can shower upon them; while the proverb, "as bearish as a Kurd," is a saying ia common use throughout the East. paper about to be published in the town o' Kilehfield, Clay county, Mo.
