t lid hand of the venerable Chief Justice
Taney. This is a positive fact. ,:; We
know it to be so,”
The head notes ooutain the following
principles:
1st. The federal Government,'as ;the
agen t and trustee of the people, can ex
ercise, no power over the rights of per
sons and, property in the Territories
Which is prohibited by the Constitution,
<M?d' the rights of. the Government and
tho pitizen in the Territories pta clearly
defined and limited' by the Constitu
tion.
2nd. The Territories having been ao*
tpiirod for the equal and common bene
fit of all, Congress lias no power to dis
criminate in favor 1 of tire citizens from
any particular .State, or in favor Of any
class of persons. ’
Sri. Every citizen has a right to take
with hiinintothe Territories any article
of. property whicli the Constitution of
the United States recognizes as proper
ty. . • ■ r ■ ■ <
4th. TheConscitution rocognizesslaves
as property, and pledges tho Federal
Govornment to protect it j and Congress
cannot exercise any more power over it
than it can over any other species of
property.
5tli. The act of Congress, therefore,
prohibiting slavery is unconstitutional,
and the residence of a negro in such a
Territory:does not entitle hint to'free
dom. ’■ "• .

of McGuire A Pinson, where ho is prepared

Ho would also call the particular attention
of thoso in want of Artificial Work, to his su
perior style of tooth, set on gold pinto ; for
beauty, strength and life-liko appenennee,
they arc not surpassed. As an impression has
been made that my prices for dental opera

as charged by Dentists nt Augusta, Macon
and Snvilnnnn. For Artificial Work mycliar-
ges uro as follows:
Entire Sots Upper and Lower fromllOD to $251:
Half Sets, Upper or Lower, from 5ft to 150
Temporary Sets, Upper and Lower, 25 each.
Partial Sots in proportion to tho abova.

Senator Douglas -in Norfolk.
. Tho speech of Senator Douglas ip
Norfolk, Saturday night, was delivered"
from tlio portico of the City Hall, and
was heard by nearly 5,000 persons, inclu
ding a large number from tho surround*-
ing counties. He avowed and argued
fully tho doctrino of squatter sovereign
ty. From a notice in the Norfolk Her
ald tve take the following;
lie said that tills was his first visit to
this city,, and ho lmd just been handed
a slip from a newspaper in which two
questions had been propounded to him,
and although ho felt under no obliga
tion, under the circumstances, to do so,
still ho would answer them, but claimed
at tlio stunc time that they should also
be put to the candidate of the seces
sionists and answered by him. These
questions were:
“If Abraham Lincoln he elected Pres
ident of the United States, will the
Southern States bo justifiod in seceding
from tho Union f
“If they secede from the Union upon
tho inauguration of Abraham Lincoln,
before he commits an overt act against
their .Constitutionjtl rights, will you ad-
viso or vindicate resistance by force to
their' seoessioh ?”
Ho eoipbatioaliy and unhesitatingly
responded to, tho first in the negative.
In regard to the second he frankly de
clared that lie'would counsel the adop
tion of preoisoly Buch measures as were
taken by “Old, Hiokory” in the case of
tlio South ~ Carolina nullitlera. Tho
right of revolution ho fully recognized;
but would recommend it .only its a last
resort from oppression, and to be ap
pealed to after bvery other-means of re
dress should fail, and when the oppres
sion became more intolerable than the
consequences of a revolution.
lOrTho Boston Courier says:
‘We publish this day a romarkabl®
story strange, indoed’-and we sre asaur
cd true—touching a young man who is
hound up in two wills—his father de
manding that he should marry no per
son whoso feet exceeded a certain she;
and his mother enjoining him wtWi
equal severity, that the maiden's hair
should bo of a certain hue.”
