Trivial Mistakes.—The admirers of
Lincoln, Octaroon, and Company, i re
tliat tha squatter-sovereign legislatures-of
territories belonging to these United States
may, "by unfriendly legislation." exclude
the property of a portion of our citizens.
Still, the compact of Un'ou declares:
"Articlw 9, (amendments.)—The enu-
meration in the Constitution of "certain
rights, shall not be construed to deny, or
disparage, others retained by the people "
When the embryo State applies for ad-
mission to the Union, the primary act,
submitted to congress, may exclude or in-
clude, any desciiption of property known
to the American people. Till that period
has arrived no legislature can debar any
citizen, or resident, of either of .the States
of this Union from ownership in, or domi-
nion over, any property held by either of
them in the States from whence Such per-
sons immigrated.

SOUND VlliWS,
While at home we find the Constitutional-
Democracy,—the real adherents • of The
Union,—denounced too often as extremists,
disunionists, and what not; glance but at the
conservative press of the north, and you find
language as bold, aye, bolder, than any used
by the so-called fire-eaters at home. -
The Boston Courier concludes a review of
the personal liberty bill of Massachusetts as
follows:
That is where Massachusettsriow stands.
The personal liberty bill is either a dead
letter—a wooden gun—<a stuffed soare-crow.,
or it is possible and pot ntial civil war.
Willi this law upon our statute-book,'all
our professions of attachment tb the Consti
tutionof the United States are but 'as sound-
ing brask and a tinkling cymbal.' They
mean just this: That we will stand by the
Constitution so.fur as it serves our interests,
or Chimes in with our passions emotions and
prtjudices ;• but whenever it con e* in the
way of any of these, we do not hesitate to
traaple it under' our feet.
"A d be it remembered that Massachu-
setts is the only State wh eh,.by legislat vo

Classical Billinósoate.—The Alton
National Democrat thus notices an Abo-
lition speech, lately made at that place:
"Mr. Shurz, we are informed, .confined
his remarks, muiiily, to tlie eternal liigger
nnd abuse of the Deinocraoy, dodging the
Massachusetts alien suffrage law, by tell-
ing tlie audience, that it was passed, be-
cause there jjrere not pemocrats enougl
to vote ugainst it. The Democrats who
heard the speech, speak of It as a very
weak effort.
After the German speeoh.Mr. Ruther-
ford, while Schurs rested, made a very
brief address, explaining how the Republl
can party could destroy- the slavery agita,
tion, by keeping, the question open far
discussion in the National prize-ring at
Washington..'
"And now for Schurs. This gentleman
is, evidently, a scholar, and has a good
command of language, both' English and
German. H is particularly expert in the
use of what may be termed classical bill
ingsgate. . He is, evidently, one of a class
of men, not-ut all uucomtnon iu the world,
who, positive, hut iiliherol in their views,
are not content with maintaining that them
selves are Hglit, but must also prove that
Jieir opponents are either fools or knaves
"This was the turn which Mr. Schurz's
speech took last night We had expected
an argumentative, eloquent, penuative
tpeeth. We were happilj diiappointed."

principle all over the State in 1864 in 1856.
and in 1866, and he has hb excuse for pre-
tending to be in doabt as to my position
on that question. It matters not what way
the Supreme Court msy hereafter decide as
t o the abstract question whether slavery may
or may not go into a territory under Ihe

means to introduce it or exclude it ss ilrey

exist a day or an hour anywhere, unless it
is supported by locsl polico regulations,

csn oyfy be established by local legislation,
and if the people are opposed to slavery,
they will elect representatives to that body
who wifl, by unfriendly legit la tion, eilect-

their nidst: It on the contrary, they are
for it, their legislation will fá*or its exten-
