* Cbcn'mg ilispatci AUG-U STA.GA: Wednesday Evening, April 41, 1838. Theory of Territorial Government. Great variety of opinion has always existed among men and parties upon the theory of Territorial Government. As might he expected, the government al histories of hardly any two States are alike. There can be but one true theory, and, of a consequence, but one correct practice. Our present notions, to be modified if we are convinced of er ror, are these. Moral obligation and responsibility for his actions, assert in man the right Tule himself. His Creator has placed him in society. The fact cannot be avoided. Moral obligation constrains him, therefore, to rule himself accord ing to the immutable principles of jus tice. This, Republicanism proposes to effect—its fundamental idea being, that right gives power, not power right. It distinguishes on the one hand, govern ment founded upon mere physical pow er, and therefore usurpation from gov ernment on the other hand, founded on rightful power, and therefore capable of executing justice, because itself just. This right, as above defined, in man to rule himself, is incapable of limita tion, because any human power which could limit it would be superior to it, and therefore destructive of the moral obligation upon which it rests. Hence the power which this right gives is sov ereign power. We use the word sove reign as the best we have to express the idea, and to distinguish the power founded on right, from physical power. This sovereign power, like the right j that gives it, is also incapable of limi tation or abridgement. As man cannot divest himself of re tponsibility, so he caunot alienate the right that goes with it, and therefore the power is not transferable. By a similar course of reasoning it is j mdirisible. That is it exists in each indi vidual in all the perfection of its attri butes. If this were not true, it would not exist in any two, nor in any num-! ber of individuals, because in that case they would be parts unto one another; j not individual. Nor would there be any moans of determining how many of these parts might be necessary to con stitute such a being as could hold sove reign power. The impossibility that this power should be curtailed, transferred or divi ded, presents the possibility that the sovereign powers of different individu als should clash with, or overcome each other. Were it otherwise, society would be an impossibility, and justice could never be administered. Thus, government, conducted upon this view ol rightful power, may promote the well-being of society, while we know that other governments, founded upon different definitions of sovereign power do most signally fail to execute justice. As that which cannot be lessened, can neither be increased, we conclude that the sovereign power of one man is as great as that of one thousand, or more men. From this flows the republican doctrine that the consent of the govern ed is necessary to the enactment of law. Further, that only would be sove reign power which could determine the nature, direction and duration of its own action. If not so, it would not conform to any true definition of power, because, i being liable at any moment to change I in its determination it would be wholly I unable to do an act of fixed character, or which would occupy time —time i which is a condition of action. < As we only propose a glance at the < government of Territories, it is not nec- • essary that we should here describe the 1 process of organizing a government.— t We take the Federal Constitution, which owes its origin to that sovereign power <: that we have shown to exist in each in- j t dividual, as our guide, to instruct us as S to what is the will of those who own it. | We have shown that there is no sueh t thing as a transfer of sovereign power r from one man to another, and that v therefore Senator H ammond was in error when he said the sovereign power over the territories is in the States, “if any where.” So is Douglas in error, who says that it is in ‘ ‘obegance,” because it is incapable of limitation in any respect. So are they (Black Republicans) who claim that it is "delegated” to Con gress, because it cannot be delegated, that being but another term for “trans ferred.” We say that it is in the people, in every individual, of the territories.— All other theories have led to contra dictions because not founded on fact. Power necessarily produces action. The power of those within the territory, combined with that of those in the States, has produced a result; that re sult is seen in the Federal Constitution, which defines the duties of the agents deputised, to execute the will of their principles, and, also, sets forth the terms of the compact between the contracting sovereigns. We know it is said, that the difficul ties on this sabject grow out of the fact that the framers of the Constitu tion did not contemplate the acquisi tion of territory. We see no difficulty, then, because there is no difficulty in aeeing these facts, that there are terri tories which have been acquired by the general government; that there are men in these territories ; that, as before shown, thcyjhave the right of self-gov ernment ; that they are parties to the Federal Constitution; that they may I demand such a conformity to the provis- j ions of that instrument as shall accord i with the fundamental principles upon which it was made.JtWe hold it next to a self-evident proposition that, if the Constitution had contained provisions for the government of territories, thoso provisions would have been Republican i in the exact sense in which the existing j provisions are Republican. Provision! ’ is made that, in the enactment of laws' under that Constitution, there shall be I , representation of the persons to be as- 1 . fected by the laws. Now, the inhabitants of the territories cannot be represented at Washington, because the compact does not guarantee that specific form of representation, but they are to be represented somewhere; then where else but in their own terri tories ? Hence, the people of territories have a right to a representative legisla ture, and they have a right to organize that- legislature themselves, even if Congress should give no assent to the act. But, by the terms of the compact, to which they are parties, there can be but one Executive of the laws, therefore the President is that officer, and ho must act, either by himself or by an agent, as the Executive of all laws, made under the Constitution, whether , in the States or in the territories. This legislature will be compelled to confine its acts to such as are permitted . by the Federal Constitution, because they can only do, as agents, that which they have authority to do, from their constituents. Their constituents, being j (sovereign, have already bound them ! ! selves to grant no power to their agents for doing anything inconsistent with the terms of that Constitution. Nor,! if the legislative department should at- 1 Itempt to exceed the bounds of their' ! authority, would there be any executive 1 ;clothed with the power of enforcement. | Thus the territory would remain in her territorial condition until such time as she should have the capacity to be- Icome a State. For in the compact to, which, let it be borne in mind, the in j habitants of the territories are parties J - -they have defined a Stale, such as; would be entitled to transfer the locale of its representation. It must be com-! j posed of so large a population as would c! entitle it to at least one representative. | . j They can have no right to organize aState J : government, or to form a State Consti-' . tution, until they have such a popula i tion as would entitle them to a repre f sentative, because, by the Constitution, 9 they have agreed not to do it. , As the other States have a right to ex , pect conformity to the compact, they _■ have a constitutional right to require . satisfactory evidence that the popula- L tion is sufiieient to come up to the re r quirements of law. Whenever, then, Congress by bill or resolution, signifies i that satisfactory evidence has been ad ; duced of the requisite population and i of conformity to the other agreements i expressed in the Federal Constitution, i the territory may become a State, and must be recognized as such by Congress. This is the duty of Congress. The territorial legislature as agent, acting under the Federal Constitution, j has also a duty to perform, namely : to see that, in giving place to the new or ganization, it does not yield to an or ganization which may not exist under ] the Federal compact. The President has two duties; to approve or veto, according to the re quirements of the Constitution, the bill j of Congress recognizing the territory as j , aState; and to approve or veto, also,! j the act of the territorial legislature, j ] giving way to the new organization. j \ When the four sanctions, thus re- \ qnired have been given, the territory < may appear by her representative and' ] Senators, as a State, in Congress, if her' ■ people desire. And, query: Whether 1 1 there be an obligation upon a ter'! ritory to assume the character of a State' when her population is sufficient ? * - Georgia Items.

The Corpus Christi Valley says that the prospects were never more favora ble in the valley of the Nueces for a big com crop. Editorial Correspondence. ! Charleston, April 20,1858. . Tfie Museum — Public Schools — Young Men’s , Convention —Address of Prof. Saylor—Re j marks of Langdon, and j&ellt—Ladies— \ Charleston Hospitality—Mills Home, Sfc. ’ During the recess on yesterday noon, 1 1 incompany with Mr. GiLCHKisT.the whole 1 souled Chairman of the Charleston Co m; mittee.and Mr. Carlisle, of the Courier, with other members of the Convention, I visited the Museum connected with the 1 Carolina College, and one of the Public I Schools. I was agreeably surprised to >. find so rare and extensive a cabinet of I I natural curiosities in the collection to 5 j which attention has been lately direct ; ed through the Charleston press. It would be out of the question to give even an outline of its extent and varie sj ety, in a hasty letter, the result too, of ’ such limited observation. B It is composed largely, perhaps Ij * should say chiefly, of specimens of ani ; mals, birds, fishes, shells, fossils, &c., ' j peculiar to a Southern latitude. Its sos- j 8 ! silcollection was pronounced by Agassiz, ' | the finest in this country. I think the | e j Society acknowledge. their indebtedness f to this distinguished Geologist, and to; 6 Audubon, for very large contributions to the collection. Every one visiting i Charleston should spend a day at the B J Museum. e The Branch of the Public Schools, e | (which I believe comprise three separate i institutions,) to which we paid a hasty , j visit, is in charge of J. D. Geddinos, r j Principal; Mr, P. F. Smith, Ist Assist ! ant ; Miss C. F. Edmonds, Principal of o J the Girl’s Department, Miss Emily Ed -11 monds Principal of the Primary Depart : ment, cacli having several assistants, 1 1 and the whole embracing about 1,000 r : scholars. I was peculiarly gratified at r j the care displayed in learning the boys to read, and their exercises in the new i book—a Southern Reader—which they , ( had just received, were highly crcdita ’ ble. A brighter,more healthy and iuter . i esting collection of hoys and girls I have never seen. | The Young Men’s Convention contin ues in session. Prof. Saylor, of Cincin nati completed his address, last night, i at the Wentworth Street Church, which had been interruped by his sudden ill ness on Saturday night. Ho is one of the most natural and pleasing speakers j I have ever heard. He spffke about an | hour and a half, enforcing the nature ! and aims of Christian Associations— j their influence and sphere—ifhd from first to last exhibited and elicited the ; tlie most earnest interest in his theme. ! Had he not already received adulation | enough to spoil most young men.— I would say more of this polished and eminently practical production. He de j clines the solicitude manifested for its i publication—and his reason, that he “ positively could not write it out,” is a sufficient commentary on his capacity e as an extempore speaker. Rev. W. C. Langdon, of Washington. f>. C., and Rev. James P. Hells, of Cleveland, also addressed the Convention for a few mo s ments. Mr. Langdon gave a very inte resting recital of. his recent tour among I the Associations of Europe, and Mr. Kells, concluded the speeches of the 5 , 1 evening with a practical and forcible ad j dress, or exhortation, which was well timed, and well received. The Convention continues in session to-day, being occupied in debating ques ! tions of policy to be adopted in the Con federation, and in the Associations. The body exhibits a very creditable degree of ability, but manifests a lack of famil iarity with parlimentary usage, quite 1 natural, as most of the members are * business men, unused to deliberative assemblages. J The result of this convocation cannot fail to be most salutary, not only in its 1 religious, hut in its social and political “ influence. It has brought together a large number of persons from all sec- ' tions, more or less inbued with Chris- a tian principles, and the genial inter- j a course and noble hospitalities which all have shared cannot fail to strengthen | the bonds of fraternal fellowship, and !to molify sectional jealouses. In short r :it affords a most important means J whereby citizens of different sections, l representing various shades of senti- t ■ ment, may better know and appreciate each other, and lam very much mista- > j ken if many are not inspirited with a * | holier Christian zeal, and wider philaiif’ ’ j tliropy, by the genial influences that j i have characterized the Convention. In my general allusions to the genu- J j ine Charleston hospitality extended the j j visitors here, I must not omit to ae- j | knowledge the enjoyment of my usual ' | elegant quarters at the Mills House, iu j addition to the urbanities extended m§ , by numerous individuals of the Com - - ■ j mittee, the Press, and the old friends ! ! who always so cordially greet my advent to the Palmetto city. 1 intended es s ( pecially to refer to a new acquaintance .iu the office of the Mills’—the gentle _j manly book-keeper. I think his name t l is Moore—if it isn’t, it should be—for I he has contributed more and more to strengthen the attachment, I am ac : quiring for tire manifold comforts of this truly elegant hotel, which he in s' sistsl shall adopt as my Charleston home, e' I regret very deeply that I cannot re- B main to accompany the delegates on a visit to the Orphan Asylum this even ing, and to be present at the conclusion of the session to-morrow. But to make it ready for my return I must bring to a t- j close this crude sketch of scenes indelli g bly daguerreotyped upon the memory of Yours, A. THE LATEST WSj BY TELEGRAPH \\ akhlugton \cm. Washington, April 20.—1 n the Senate to-day, Gen. Houston, of Texas, intro- j duccd his resolution in relation to the j United States assuming a protectorate over Mexico.

The deficiency bill was discussed at length ; and the Senate agreed to re consider the Pacific Railway Bill which was on the 17th inst., postponed until December. In the House, the Washington or Government Police Bill was, laid on the table. The bill making appropriations for l West Point was discussed. The Hon Thomas B. Florence, of j Penn., gave notice of his intention to . i introduce a bill to authorize the estab- I lishment of five steam mail routes from the United States to Europe, upon the same basis that inland contracts are sus tained—and that the departures of the 1 mails shall be from New York, Phila ! delphia, New Orleans and Norfolk.— !
