R. ELLIS & CO., Proprietors. liluuie XIV. (OLIMBtK, TUESDAY, MAIM H I, ISSU. Debuto In the Senate Iktughii, Davl* Ami nitn We witnessed m the Sort insL. in the Uni ted States Senate, n uoit splendid gin < Unto rial exhibition between sottf© *f the intolloe tunl giants of that august tribunal. The vie-, bate arose on the amendment of Mr. Hale, of New Hampshire, to the :i|)propi'i*lii>irhill, re pealing the English restriction in rdnti*)i iw the admission of lvaiK-as thut clause tluti requires Kansu* to have a population of 1*3,000 inimbi*’ tanuio entitle her to adtnitSMon into the Union. IIOn. A. G Drown, ©f Mississippi, loti oft’ in a speech in opposition to this amen* .lntent and ul.. the squ*tter--*uvoroigoty doctrine* of Judge Dougla- astet forth ip his speech©* during tho!a.-t canvass in Illinoi*.- He obutvndoJ Unit the tlon stitation rteoguiied slave property -—that non intorventicmby (hxigre**’ went only to the extern ! of not establishing or nofi prohibiting slavery in the territories—tlirtt IT tin- right existed to carry slave property in the territories, the right of pjotcotiun ulrio .aiiunvd *y_ ****> v*; otif was virtually to the other. That if Congress. Could not intervene ti* protect property in the tetriterto*—if it granted to the tetri terial legislature power which it did not flosses* itself — there by making the creature greater thanthe ore atflr—if tho Constitution Yecugnuiid the right f protection of slave- the territories and yet the power to execute fho right was denied, than whs the constitution i\ failure and the gov- , eminent a despotism fey mere force of numbers. Mr. Brown was fojhjwod by Mr. DeugUc, who J endeavored to vindicate his poaiftoit upon the j ground that lie stood upon Ihs principles sf the J Kansas bill, uud the doctrine of non inter;* entiou. j Mr. Douglas is eminent ly sound upon Hie ques tion th#t uegranj ate property, fettt (.be practisnl operation of his theory in refevaiiee to ihe power ‘ of terrirerLtl legislatures is downright abolition vsui. To tay that theeoi*ltintkm recognize* .•d'avu property : that OoitgreiM cannot Exclude if In the territories, and yet, a territorial legislature, fh© creature of Cougrewa, can exclude it it and destroying it and nq remedy exists to recover it, is absnr<fc|u tile highest degree. Yet this was the position as.-uine.d fey Mr. Doug j las in this groat debate a position in dire, tan j tagonism.wii-li tbe Tired Scott hoe is ion of the Ru | preuie Court f the United .State* which ho pro • tends to support—oouferriug powtf* ou a territ,.*- * rial jsotfermrmnt. established by Cc*pgre*s, wltich • Congress itself caanot exercise--vix : to exclude i or destroy slave projH*rfy by taxation, “uuftiwq’l ly legislation’* or otherwise. Ilia pouitiun can be j summed up in few words, te-'wit: ttie constithtiou recognizes Ithive property —tbc Hiipreme Court guarantees its proteetion hi the territories —tbe \ territory legislative euactmout i'x.-ludy it— ! Congress omqut intervene i.i protect thy ('■om-tifu lion and tho fliw. In orther Words, -.juntter soV- ercignty can override thq^'.icstiiailun—and they. - ‘ is Do remedy. This in Mr. Douglas’ doctrine of j oar constitutional r igh us in the territories. Deny big at the same time to Congress the power t adopt the Wilmot Proviso anil yt advocating its application by u territorial agency created by the federal legislature. Gladly did we see this dangerous heresy exposed by such gallant nu.-n us Davie ami Bown *f Miss issippi, Green of Missnuri. Gw in of California, Clay of Alabama aud others. We rojuioe io# that Hon.

They > fund with Senator Iversoti of this State and the deep toned sounds of approval of Jain sj2 h by the, rioutfa has only awalteu#! ami arou-ed them to action. It is enough to know, that not a single Sen ator who voted for the fai.uisa* fill ugret;-’ with Sir Douglas iu hi* constviH.ri*-u of this measure—that they repudiate hit* doctrine of sqimtu-r-sdveivign ty aud iliuUuuch honor teilnato su*h Statesmen a h Hon.

Tiie President show* that tho bringing suddenly info market of tho ttlfiltoiw of aero* donated by tho hill, by thirty-throe eager, selling ‘Competitors, would effectually cut off’ an Important source of supply to the National Treas nrv.

This (lidantcr would be averted iu tho way sup posed. The President also considers that a question of Constitutional power is involved in the bill, and his opinion is adverse to tiie measure on ‘that ground, in his argument, upon this branch of tho •nihjoet, he indirectly admits the- truth of a proposition for which we heretofore contended, in discussing ilie Pacific Railroad Bill. It is, that Congress has no power to apply the public domain ot the tin ton in fuvtlieraneoof an ohjpct for which it would he unconstitutional t© appropriate the money raised by taxation We never expect to bonbjo to seo rational baci* for such distinction. There Is nothing in the .-aibjacts tliem.-elrws to support it. and we have limited iu vain to find It* recognition in the Cbniti/ation. Indeed, tho framer- of that instrument would have perpc.trir ‘ted the most childish ftbbsone, ; to have declared that Congress might do thus and so with tfeo speoifie land, Imt could not make tt similar appli cation of tliu money into which they are author ized t > convert it. True, the Goustitution says that Congress shall have power “to dispose of tbe Territory or other Property of'the United States but it nls.*, grants the power lo “levy and . ollebS law-” without tfliunierating the specific objects tor which this power is to be cXerted.

D equally follows, moreover, that if Con j gre*s he denied the power in question, neither is I there any eonstltutlonnl wamtnt for fouti-ring with I the public treasure the construction of Hailrouds !or other work* ofjnfenuil improreuient.
