Senator Toombs’ speech of last Monday on the question of protection to slavery in the ter ritories, is every where spoken of as one of his most masterly efforts; but to show just where, and where only this doctrine is bound to lead in the popular apprehension, we have only to turn to what the Northern freesoil papers say of this speech. Take, for example, the follow ing from the Tribune Mr. Toombs made one of his powerful speech es against Squatter Sovereignty, completely lmng it riddling the doctrine, and holding it up to gen i, wn GRiaxunt »ctlkr «YW & BUTLER, VIOK.V E Y S AT LAW.

M. SPEER. S-UIIIEL HUNTER. He proved that the. uniform practice of more than half a century had been for Congress to exercise complete’power over the Territories, ami cited the authorities to show that this power had been used in various forms, all ac knowledging its absolute and unquestionable jurisdiction. His argument went to demonstrate that Con gress ought to afford protection to slavery in the territories, inasmuch as we were bound by treaties which subsequent laws had recognized to protect the person and property of those who became citizens by the transfer of French, Span ish, and Mexican territory. He contended that-both parties at Charleston and Chicago pledged themselves to the protec tion of naturalized citizens abroad in all their hts, even at the hazard of war, and yet only refused it to their own people in their own Ter ritories. Mr. Toombs thus separated from his friend, Mr. Stephens, for the first time in twenty years They have hitherto been like Siamese twins in politics. • Mr. Douglas' absence-frotn the Senate during this speech was much remarked, and mainly from the fact that Mr. Toombs has been more' 1 tolerant of his heresies than any other Southern Senator. Mr. Hammond followed in a short written speech on the same side, nnd Mr; Pugh replied to both without making much, impression. Mr. Benjamin win answer Mr Douglas’ ar gument briefly to-morrow, and there is some disposition to close the debate. * Thus, it will be seen, according to the Tri bune, Mr. Toombs demonstratedthe “absolute and unqualified jurisdiction”—the “complete power of Congress” oyer the Terri lories,-and what prudent party would be willing to.concede those points °f to be held up fn popnlar appre hension ns conceding them, for the doubtful utility of a party platform plank.claiming Con gressional protection ? • • |DR.

This disruption J ork de| egation, and which is stated to have of the Democratic party, if it continues, will I becn satisfactory to the Southern delegations of the Supreme Court under the * questions re ferred to. subject in our Federal Legislature. Utah and New Mexico seemed to have escaped tho atten tion of members of Congress, and under tlie doctrine pf non-intervention slavery is now pro tected in those territories, and but for the Con gressional agitation of “the Kansas qaeftion,” that territory would have been quietly settled by citizens of Missouri and others not hostile to the existence of slavery; we would not have been excluded by the action of “Emgrant Aid Societies,” but the territory would be now open to Southern men, and slavery be protected by virtue of the operation of the doctrine of non- intereention. So with California. But for the well known purpose of members of Congress to agitate and legislate on the ‘subject of slavery,' a territorial government would have been or ganized on the principle of ndn-lnlercentioA, and the gold mines of that State would now be worked by slaves. The doctrine of non-inter vention was not then fully recognized, and it was a political necessity to admit the unorgan ized territory into the Union, with a Constitu tion prohibiting slavery. The demand for Congressional intervention for tlie protection of Slavery in tlie Territories seems to me, therefore, unjust to bur Northern friends, and is I ’think calculated to do us more harm than good. f have further said that it involved an im- jmicticable abstraction. It is impracticable, be cause ire know full well that it is impossible to obtain tlie kind of legislation we propose to de mand. lYhat then ? No national party organ ization can be formed which will concede more to the just demands of tho South, or more ear nestly and consistently maintain Southern rights than tlie pn-M-nt democratic party. If the refu sal of the democratic party to commit itself to this new demand for Congressional intervention jiistities secession from the party, will n6t the failure of Congress to grant the demand for Congressional protection.justify secession from the Union? If this is good ground for dissolving the only existing national party, with rio hope of forming another, will. it not. afford good ground for a dissolution of the Union ? and whether it justify disunion or not, will if not inevitably lend to disunion ? .£>' These are grave questions, which the people of the South should consider well before "they go too far to retract “To this complexion it the country by committing themselves to an abstract demand, which can result in no prac tical good to us, while it may be fatal to them? Shall we have a Democratic President, elected and standing on a national platform, or an ultra Black Republican President, with sentiments and opinions quite as odious as were ever avow ed by Wm. H. Seward, and without tho pres tige of high reputation, and wanting tho refined and cultivated social and mental qualities of the distinguished Senator from New York ?

NO COMPROMISE. ' '' I The Charleston Mercury of the 24th is severe upon the decoders and their frionds who are still looking to the preservation of the National Democratic party, and maintains there is no substantial distinction between them and others, whodonotaequiescc in the secession movement The counsels of both tend to “distract, weak en and defeat the South." What position did ‘.'the South’’ occupy ig the secession movement? ' The record shows an electoral majority of the Southern'States did not scocdo at alL The Mercury’s "South,” then, is only Mr. Yancey’s “cotton Stabs,’’ and the man who counsels such moderation its may possibly result in a political re-unjon of tie slave-holding States, “distracts, weakens, and defeats” the South, in this latter day, restrictive significa tion of the term. We are no prophet, but It decs appear to as that the Richmond movement is really in hands wliich mean to push it to tlie point of irrecon cilablc issue with the South and the Democra cy of the country. They mean to precipitate a nomination; anil though Georgia, if represent ed there, may, and doubtless will say nay, the Georgia delegation will tind itself powerless for estoppel, and will have to secede again, or com mit herself to the Richmond nominee. Soc a seems to us to be the probabilities of the case. And in this event, whichever alternative the Georgia delegation may select, they must take it under the constraint of the circumstances and as a choice of evils. The mortifying reflection cannot be escaped, that throughout this whole business, Georgia has becn able to assert hut little of the influence due to her position, intel ligence, population and wealth, in determining the result. Wo append an extract from the Mercury’s ar ticle :— We make no distinction between such Doug las Squatter-Sovereignty counsellors as Mr. Stephens, and tlie milder dissontienLs, like .Mr. Cobb and tho nineteen Congressional remon strants. All arc alike in this,—that their coun sels tend to distract, weaken and defeat the South, in her effort to maintain and enforce her rights. For we do not suppose for a moment, tliat any of these gentlemen anticipated, that the ignoroinous counsel, to the seceding Dele gates, with not one single change in circum stances to justify it, to return to the Baltimore Convention, would beembraced. Men of honor themselves—they must have anticipated that the seceding Delegates would not compromise their honor by seeking to return to tlie Balti more Convention; and if they did seek to re turn, they mast have known, that their scats being supplied By other Delegates invited by the Convention, they must be rejected. What did they mean, then, by such counsel ? We have tried honestly to understand it, nnd wc trust that wc do them no injustice by our con clusions. We supposo that they mean only this—to distract and divide the people of tlie South, and thas defeat the effort made to vindicate our rights. It is a political move— like offering an amendment to a bill to defeat it leading assailing forces into a bog, to save tlie fortress. | Repository!
