The government of the United States claimed territory by virtue of the treaty of 17S3 with Great Britain, acquired territory by cession from Georgia and North Carolina, by treaty from France,.and Y treat y from Spain. These acquisitions largely exceeded the original limits of the Republic. In all of these acquisi tions the policy of the government was uniform. It opened them to the settlement of all the citizens of all the States of the Union. They emigrated thither with their property ot every kind (including slaves),—all were equally pro tected by public authority in their persons and property, until the inhabitants became sufficiently numerous, and otherwise capable ot bearing the burthens and performing the duties ot self-government, when they were admitted into the Union, upon equal terms with the other States, with whatever republican constitution they might adopt for themselves. Under this equally just and beneficent policy, law and order, stability and progress, peace and prosperity marked every step of the progress of these new communities, until change, hoped that time, reason and argument, would bring, i ’ „ . , , - .- , - , , if not redress, at least exemption from farther insults, injS- Prosperous commonwealths into ies and dangers.

An Incident ok the Nineteenth Ce.\- tury—Romantic Elopement on an Ox Sled—JubilantBrideoroo.m.—The De troit Free Press relates the following, for the truth of which it vouches, bet \ve don’t An ox team attached to a lumber sled, and bearing astride of its crossbeams a coarse-grained young mail and a buxom girl of about eighteen, dragged its slow length along Larned-street yesterday, and halted in front of Justice Pnddv’s offiee. The couple dismounted and entered the office, where they made known their wishes, and requested to be married imme diately. The expectant bridegroom said he had come to town with a load of pro duce for his employer, who owned the team, and as Susan wanted to buj- a kali- ker dress, he had brought her along on the top of the bags. On the way in, they had talked the matter over, and iu view of the fact that they sorter like each other, and had done considerable courtin’ on the sly, concluded to get married. They de clared themselves of age, took the bonds for better or for worse. The bridegroom was very much elated, and kissed the bride an unreasonable number of times. Then he requested the court to kiss her, and even went so far as to intimate that all respectable persons among the specta tors might enjoy the same-privilege. He was especially elate on the newspaper question. “Put ’er in,” he said, in a reck less manner, “put ‘er in the paper, and make Susan’s name all capitals. I’ll pay for big letters. What’s the uee in getting married to a putty gal unless you can get it in the papers ?” In the midst of this jubilation, the thought of the old man struck him, and he sobered dow n as though a shower bath had fallen on his head.— “Come Susan,” he said, taking her hand, “let’s go home and sect it. Lord won't he be mad?” And he drew a sigh and switched up the cattle, whose slow gait seemed all too fast for his palpitating hopes and fears. It is said that an illustrious personage recently wrote the following in the album of a fashionable lady: “There are two eventful periods in the life of a woman; one when she wondeis who she will have, the other when she wonders who will have her.’’ He deserved hanging. Beautiful is the love, and sweet the kiss of a lister; but when you hav’nt a sister handy, try* cousin—or any other la^y, so she is young and pretty—'tien’t much difference. Our Northern confederates, after a full and calm hearing of all tin* facts, after a fair reasoning iqton their purpose net to submit to tin- rule of* tho authors of uli thosft uptoiicts and injuries, have, by a large majority, committed the Government of the United States into their hands. The peo ple of Georgia, after an equally full aud fair and deliber ate hearing of the case, have declared with equal firmness, that tin*)' shall not rule over them. A brief history of the rise, progress and policy of anti-slavery, and of the polit ical organization into whose hands the administration of the Federal Government has been committed, will fully jus tify the pronounced verdict of the people of Georgia. The party of Lincoln, called the Republican party, under its present name aud organization is of recent origin. It is admitted to be an anti-slavery party, while it attracts to itself by its creed, the scattered advocates of exploded po litical heresies, of condemned theories in political economy; the advocates of commercial restrictions, of protection, of special privileges, of waste and corruption in the adminis tration of Government, anti-slavery in its mission and its purpose. By anti-slavery it is made a power in the State. The question of slaverv was the great difficulty in the way of the formation of tin* Constitution. While the subordi nation and the political and social inequality of the African race were fully conceded by all, it was plainly apparent that slavery* would soon disappear from what are the non- slaveholding States of the original thirteen ; the opposition to slavery was then, as now, general in those States, and the Constitution was made with direct reference to that fact. But a distinct abolition party was not formed in the United States, for more than half a century after the Government went into operation. The main reason was, that the North, even if united, could not control both branches of the Legislature during any portion of that time. Therefore, such an organization must have resulted, either in utter fitilure, or in the total overthrow of the Government. The material prosperity of the North was greatly depen dent on the Federal Government; that of the South not at all. In the first years of the Republic, the navigating, com mercial and manufacturing interests of the North, began to seek profit and aggrandizement at the expense of the agri cultural interests. Even the owners of fishing smacks, sought and obtained bounties for pursuing their own busi ness, which yet continue—even half a million of dollars are now paid them annually out of the Treasury. The nav igating interests begged for protection asrainst foreign ship builders, and against competition iu the coasting trade; Congress granted both requests, and by prohibitory acts, o nn iiLc/.lijf-,. lufmojudy of This business to psieh of their interests, which they 7 enjoy without diminution to this day. Not content with these great and unjust advan tages, they have sought to throw the legitimate burthens of their business as much as possible upon the public; they have succeeded in throwing the cost of light-houses, buoy*s, and the maintenance of their seamen, upon the Treasury, and the Government now pays above two millions annually for the support of these objects. These interests in connection with the commercial and manufacturing classes, have also succeeded, by means of subventions to mail steam ers, and the reduction of postage, in relieving their busi ness from the payment of about seven millions of dollars annually, throwing it upon the public Treasury, under the name of postal deficiency. The manufacturing interest entered into the same struggle early, and has clamored steadilv for Government bounties and special favors. This interest was confined mainly* to the Eastern and Middle non- slaveholding States. Widening these great States, it held great power and influence, and its demands were in full proportion to its power. The manufacturers and miners u-isc/i/ based their demands upon special facts and reasons, rather than upon general principles, and thereby mollified much of the opposition of the opposing interests. They* pleaded in their favor, the infancy of their business in this country, the scarcity of labor and capital, the hostile lega tion of other countries toward them, the great necessity* ol their fabrics in time of war, and the necessity of high duties to pay the debt incurred in our war for independence; their reasons prevailed, and they received for many 7 years enorm ous bounties by the general acquiescence of the whole country. But when these reasons ceased they were no less clamor ous for government protection ; but their clamors were less heeded,—the country 7 had put the principle of protection upon trial, and condemned it. After having enjoyed pro tection to the extent of from fifteen to two hundred per cent, upon their entire business, for above thirty years, the Act of 1S40 was passed. It avoided sudden change, but the principle was settled, aud free-trade, low duties, and economv in public expenditures was the verdict of the American people. The South, aud the Northwestern States ustained this policy. There was but small hope of its re- ritruggii-, tlir Nortli ttos JcfoatoJ iu. iu>r special ob ject ; but the policy* and position led to the adoption of a section in the law, for the admission of Missouri, prohibit ing slavery in all that portion of the territory acquired trom f ranee, lying North of 36 deg. 30 min. North latitude, and outside ot Missouri. The venerable Madison, at the time of its adoption, declared it unconstitutional; Mr. Jef ferson condemned the restriction, and foresaw its conse quences, and predicted that it would result in the dissolu tion ol the Union. His prediction is now historv. The North demanded the application of the principle of prohi bition of slavery* to all of the territory acquired from Mex ico, and all other parts of the public domain, then and in all future time. It was the announcement of her purpose to appropriate to herself all the public domain then owned and thereafter to be acquired by the United States. The claim itself was Jess arrogant and insulting than the reason with which she supported it. That, reason was her fixed purpose to limit, restrain and finally to abolish slavery in the States where it exists. The South, with great unani mity, declared her purpose to resist the principle of prohi bition to the last extremity. This particular question, in connection with a series of questions affecting the same subject, was finally disposed ot by the defeat of prohibitory legislation. The Presidential election of 1852, resulted in the total overthrow of the advocates of restriction and their party friends. Immediately after this result, the anti-slavery por tion of the defeated party, resolved to unite all the elements in the North, opposed to slavery, and to stake their future political fortunes upon their hostility to slavery everywhere. This is the party to whom the people of the North have committed your government. They raised their standard in 1856,and were barely defeated; they entered the Presidential contest again, in 1860, aud succeeded.- The prohibition of slavery in the territories,hostility to it everywhere, the equality of the black and white races, dis regard of all constitutional guarantees in its favor, were boldly proclaimed by its leaders, and applauded by its fol lowers. With their principles on their banners and their utter ances on their lips, the majority of the people of the North demand, that we shall receive them as our rulers. The prohibition of slavery in the territories is the cardi nal principle of this organization. For forty years this Question had been eonsidered, and de bated in the halls of Congress, before the people, by the press, and before the tribunals of justice. The majority of the people of the North in I860, decided it in their own fa vor. We refuse to submit to that judgment, and in vindi cation of our refusal, we offer the constitution of our coun try, and point to the total abuse of any express power to exclude us, offer the practice of our government, for the first thirty years of its existence, in complete refutation of the position that any such power is either necessary or prop er to the execution of any other power in relation to the territories. We offer the judgment of a large minority of the people of the North, amounting to more than one-third who united with the unanimous voice of the South against this usurpation ; and finally, we offer the judgment of the Supreme Court of the United States, the highest judicial tribunal of our country in our favor. This evidence ought to be conclusive, that we have never surrendered this right; the conduct of our adversaries admonishes us that if we had surrendered it, it is time to resume it. The faithless conduct of our adversaries, is not confined to such acts as might aggrandize themselves or their sec tion of the Union ; they are content, if they can only injure us. The constitution declares, that persons charged with crimes in one State and fleeing to another, shall be deliver ed up on the demand of the Executive authority of the State from which they may flee, to be tried in the jurisdiction where the crime was committed. It would appear difficult to employ language freer from ambiguity ; yet, for above twenty years, the non-slaveholding State, generally, have wholly refused to deliver up to us persons charged with crimes affecting slave property ; our confederates, with pu ttie faith, shield and give sanctuary to all criminals, who seek to deprive us of this property, or who use it to destroy us. This clause of the constitution has no other sanction than their good faith; that is withheld 7 from us ; we are remediless in the L^nion ; out of it, we are remitted to the laws of nations. A similar provision of the Constitution requires them to surrender fugitives from labor. This provision and the one last referred to, were our main inducements for confederat ing with the Northern States ; without them, it is histori cally true, that we would have rejected the Constitution, versal,—upon the direct issue, none at all. All these classes | I n the fourth year of the Republic, Congress passed a law to saw this, and felt it, ami cast about for new allies. r lhe give full vigor and efficiency to this important provision. I anti-slavery sentiment of the North offered the best chance 1 tor success. An anti-slavery party must necessarily look to | the North alone for support ; but a united South was now j strong enough to control the government in all of its de partments, and a sectional party was therefore determined upon. Time, and issues upon slavery, were necessary to its completion and final triumph. The feeling ot anti-sla- verv, which it was well known was very general among the people of the North, had been long dormant or passive, —it needed only a question to arouse ir into aggressive ac- tivitv. This question was before us: we had acquired a large territory by successful war with Mexico; Congress had to govern it, how—in relation to slavery—was the ques tion, then demanding solution. This state of facts gave form and shape to the anti-slavery sentiment throughout the North, and the conflict began. Northern anti-slavery men of all parties asserted the right to exclude slavery from this territory bv Congressional legislation, and demanded the prompt and efficient exercise of this power to that end. This insulting and unconstitutional demand was met with great moderation and firmness by the South. We had shed our blood and paid our money for its acquisition; we de manded a division of it, on the line of the Missouri restric tion, or an equal participation in the whole of it. These propositions were refused, the agitation became general, and the public danger great. The case of the South was impregnable. The price of the acquisition was the blood and treasure of both sections—of all; and therefore it be longed to all, upon the principles of equity and justice. The Constitution delegated no power to Congress to exclude either party from its free enjoyment; therefore, our right was good, under the Constitution. Our rights were further fortified by the practice of the government from earlier and better days. Slavery was forbidden in the country North west of the Ohio river, by what is called the Ordinance of 1787. That ordinance was adopted under the old confede ration, and by the assent of Virginia, who owned and ceded efficiency to tins important provision, This act depended to a considerable degree upon the local magistrates of the several States for its efficiency ; the non slaveholding States generally repealed all laws intended to aid the execution of that act, and imposed penalties upon those citizens whose loyalty to the Constitution, aud their i>atli8, might induce them to discharge their duty. Congress then passed the act of 1850, providing for the complete ex ecution of this duty by Federal Officers. This law which their own bad faith rendered absolutely indispensable for the protection of constitutional rights, was instantly met with ferocious revilings, and all conceivable modes of hos tility. The Supreme Court unanimously, and their own local Courts, with equal unanimity, (with the single and temporary exception of the Supreme Court of Wisconsin,) sustained its constitutionality in all of its provisions. Yet it stands to-day a dead letter, for all practicable purposes, in every non-slaveholding State in the Union. We have their covenants, we have their oaths, to keep and observe it, but the unfortunate claimant, even accompanied by a Federal Officer, with the mandate of the highest judicial authority in his hands, is every where met, with fraud, with force, and with legislative enactments, to elude, to resist and defeat him; claimants are murdered with impu nity ; Officers of the law are beaten by frantic mobs, insti gated by inflammatory appeals from persons, holding the high est public employment in these States, and supported by legislation in conflict with the clearest provisions of the Constitution, and even the ordinary principles of humanity. In several of our confederate States, a citizen can not travel the high-way with his servant, who may voluntarily ac company him, without being declared by law a felon, and being subjected to infamous punishments! It is difficult to perceive how we could suffer more by the hostility, than by the fraternity of such brethren. .The public law* of civilized nations requires every State restrain its citizens or subjects from committing acts in jurious to the peace and safety of any other State, aud from
