Boyco, a momber of Congress from South Carolina—and a man whoso devotion to tiio rights nml honor of tlio South no ono dare ques tlon—gavo utterance to the following sentiment, which ombracea tho entire merits of tho present political contro versy. Mr. Boyco said “Unicr these circumstances, I think I am authorized to consider this ques tion of slavery in the Territories as pure ly tpeadative.. Tru* statesmanship con sists in the pursuit of tho practical; for government Is a practical affair. As we can gain nothing practical by tho most ardent and suoce«sftil pursuit of this question, I think U is wise in us to dis pose of it for tlio present, by leaving it where the tbuetitutioa and the ’ Ihcd iScott decision now /dace it.” Here is a sensible view of a disturb ing question, and It is precisely tlie ground occupied by tho Constitutional Union party nml their candidate* in the Presidential canvass. Wo agree fully with tlio Breckinridgo men on tho abstract question of tho right of Hie Southern State* to protection for their property of overy kind in tlio Territo ries,‘ana would never^yield Mint right; but, and Mr, Boyoe very properly says, It is a “purely speculative” question, without tho slightest practical bearing In tho present condition of tho country, nnd it is folly unmitigated to make it an issue In a President ml campaign.
