In planting King Tliilip corn, it can be

ground for corn ought to be plowed

It is spoiled material; and we learn that it

Tho Federal Constitution was adopted in
17S9; in the same year George Washing
ton was inaugurated first President of the
United States; and one of the first nets of
tiie first Congress was to re-affirm tlie ordi
nance of 1 787. In 1 800, the Territory of
Indiana was organized and the clause pro
hibiting slavery re-afiirmed. In 1805, the
Territory of Michigan was organized,
Thomas Jefferson being President, nnd the
clause prohibiting slavery re-affirmed.
Iu 1809, the Territory of Illinois was or
ganized, James Madison being President,
and the clause prohibiting slavery reaffirmed.
In 1820, James Monroe being President,
the Missouri Compromise was adopted, ex
cluding slavery from all the Terrilory 110
quired from France lying north of 3G3 30'.
In 18:ifi, Andrew Jackson being President,
the Territory of Wisconsin was formed,
and slavery was excluded from it by tlie
act of Congress. In 1838, Martin Van
Buren being President, the Territory of j
Wisconsin was formed, and slavery was cx- j
eluded from it by tlie uet of Congress. In j
184.1. Texas was annexed, witli a clause in
the annexation resolution prohibiting shive

go to the Territory shall bo governed, till j the Stat s with which they have been con
they become numerous enough to establish trusted? Under what policy havo we
rules of their own. When Congress comes grown to the greatness lo which we h ive
to organize a Territory, 0110 member pro attained? I ask you under what? Was it
pares a rule fixing its boundaries. All , not tinder the policy of settling our Terri
agree to that. Another says: " I will lories with free men, nnd increasing tlie
draw up n rule for the appointment of a I number of free States? It is Irii", slave
Governor, with the two-thirds veto power." ! Slates have been admitted into the Un'on,
Another savs: " I will draw up a rule for
tho appointment of Judges." The sell-government
man says: "I am for that," An
other says: "Twill prescribe the jurisdic
tion of justices of the Pence." Popular
sovereignty says: " I am for that."
And so they go on drawing up tho rules.
Vou come to the shivery question. One
man says the free States are more prosper
ous than slave States. He draws a com
parison between New York and Virginia,
nnd finds that the land in the former is
worth ten times that in the latter State.
IIo finds shivery demoralizing, that labor
is better respected, and that tho poor man
occupies a better position in society, where
he has no negro labor to compete with.
He says, " I will draw up a rule cxclud-1
ing slavery Irom these places where I audi
mv children are to go." "Ah, lint you '
cannot do this," is the answer. " That
violates the principle of sell-government."
Now the seir-governineut man is shocked.
The moment you tell him he muH not
reduce another man to slavery, you v;o-
tare 1110 nrsi pniic.juen ui n-ii-Kuy.- i.-iu, ;

by Jutlgo I'anney, who is n candiduto fur

desire to interfere in your local politics, but
simply 10 set correctly licforo tho people
mo historical tact reierred to. Mr. lliu
ney states that Virginia, in reding the
.Northwest Territory to the United States,
provided in her deed of cession that that
m .. .... 1 1 1 t . . ... .
territory snoniu no irec. .ow tins is
wholly incorrect. The deed of cession pro
vided that the inhabitants should be secure
in nil their rights nnd privileges; and in
deed it was thought by many that this pro-
vision precluded Congress fiom keeping
slavery out. It was the ordinance of 1 7 7
which excluded slavery from the Northwest
Territory. J
jt jR m,.r this policy of dedicating the
country to freedom that we hare grown to
,. -.rrs -nt magnitude. Tho territory eif
tne Lndedhtales is now several times ns
lir(r hs jt .., ,lt tilc peace of 1783. The
numljcr of Stat-s is almost three times ns

which have onco been dedicated to freedom
sha'l again become free. Ami I urn there
fore In favor of the old iloctriiio of exclud
ing slavery Irom llie Territories by ad of
Congress. If that cannot be done, let tho
Territorial Legislature exclude ll, if it will.
the Republican policy is lo use all tho
means within Its power to keep shivery from
spreading into tho fne Territories your
popular-sovereignty men claim to be op
.used lo spreading shivery. Do vou be
lieve if the Republican party had len in
power there would huve been any effort to
pet slaverv into Kansas, or to revive the
African slave Irndi? ou are upholding
and strengthening the hands of the parly
who are luimring in the slave intern.!.
Are you in favor of the equal administra
tion of the laws of the country? Do you
not know if a nogro escapes from n South
ern Stale the whole power of the Frdrrul
tiovernmeut Is put in requisition for 11
uptiin? Is not the telegraph used, and
the tinny ami navy put in requisition be
en use a negro is loose iu Boston? How is
it, when Congress declares the African
slave trade piracy, nnd that the parties en
gaged In it shall I.e hung, and that A ear?o
of slaves from Africa can be landed 011 our
Southern roust and marched through a
Stale In chain.? Where then are your
United States Marshals, your army and
navy? Thrse Africans cannot be seen;
thry cannot be found. But a single negro
running away, if he crrta as far ns Boston,
can be found without nnr difficulty.
1 do not say ,tir. lliichanan is in favorer
the African slave trade, or that this is the
nse with tho Democratic parly of the
North; but I do say, and do believe, poti-
iilnr sovi reignly men, (hat you are slrcngth-
inng the hands nl a party which is 111 fa
vor of it, and the men in office, who will
not execute the laws of the country against
it. If you would slop these things, and
bring the Government buck to the doctriuo
of the Fathers, why not unite with the
llcpiiiii.i'an parly and accomplish the ob
ject: 1 have endeavored to state truly our
itis.Um and that of our opponents. I
iuve endeavored fo show yon that this
thing called popular sovereignly is unmean
ing, and thnt tho only true theory of the
Government is that advocated by the Re
publican party; and that the power of the
government of the Territories is in Con
gress, ami Is to bo exercised, during the
Territorial existence, to protnoto tho inter
rsls of the prop'o who settlo the Territo
ries, and the general welfare of the great
body of tho people of the Union.
A Democratic t'.mfab.
It Is not nn unusual thing for those whoso
t nrs happen to bo hi the vicinity of locol'nco
confabs, uow-n-tlays, to hear something liko
the following:
Dp.si. No. I. "Well, this is glorious
news Irom Harper's Ferry?"
Dni. No. 2. "Glorious! It's turning
our Kansas outrages on the Black Reptile
lienns completely."
Dhm. No. 1. " Well, it is, and wo must
charge it npon them, If we keep tip the
cry strong we'll searo away from their par
ty n good many timid Republicans, I tell
you."
Dm. No. 2. "There couldn't possibly
anything better than this hnvo happened
fiir us ut this time, Coining on the very
heels of the Ohio, Iown, Minn s-vtit nnd
IVniisylvnniii elections, if wo use it well, wo
ought to break their forces."
Dust. No. 1. "That's so. But we
must charge on them ttroiig. But Brown,
S 'ward, Lincoln, Chase, Garrison und
Sin'th, all in the sanio bout. They put
us through 011 Kansas and we'll pay
them for it."
Diim. No. 2." But, I say, Old Brown
's game, isn't he? At nny rato he has
given us n lift wo couldn't have got any
other way."
Busimss engagements at this point call
ed these two honest Democrats nway,
each one nn doubt heartily ashamed of him
self fur the contemptibn part he has homo
in tho conversation. In view of this in
terchange of opinion, what are tho "glo
rious principles of tho Democracy"?
fifc-J Milburu, in "Ten Years of Preach
er Life," says: " 1 coiifi'ss to a grateful
love of log cabins, mid tun much inclined to
tho belief that their humble roofs hare shel
tered a greater amount of heulth, content,
happiness, nnd virtue, than nny other
style of domestic nreitcctnre."
CCT It may bo interesting to nolo that
during the siege of Scbastopol, extending
over a period of eleven mouths, the enor
mous quantity of 2,775,300 lbs., or 1239
tons, of gunpowdor was expended by the
English iiluiie; 2070 tons or shot and shell
were fired from 470 pieces of ordnance, of
which only 1 1 burst, and 209 wero ren
dered unserviceable.
CQ" An old toper, in tho last stages nf
the dropsy, wns told by his physician that
nothing would save him but being' tapped.'
Ills son, a witty little shaver, objected to
this operation, saying " Daddy, daddy,
don't submit to it, for you know there never
wns anything tapped iu our house that last
ed moro than a week."
tuT Human hair varies from the 2"0t!i
to tho CUOlh part of nil inch iu thickness.
The fibre of the coarsest wool is about tho
liOOth part of an inch in diameter. Silk
worm's silk is about the 5000th part of an
inch thick; but tlie spider's line is six times
finer, and a single pound of this dclicato
substance would be sufficient to encompass
the globe.
