Tlte senders placed and their disorganizing movement on the high ground of principle—the principle of protection to slave property in the Territories by act of Congress. Had they feecn ear nest and (Sincere in this position, they would have nominated at Baltimore a man who sas the repre sentative of that principle, Mr, Yancey, Mr. Davis or Mr. Brown, ® So far from this, they have, as we are prepared to (>show, nominated a gentleman who is as thoroughly committed to the doctrine of non-intervention and popular sovereignty as Mr. Douglas®hiraself. To prove this we submit the following extracts from the speech of Mr. in the House of Representatives, on the Kansas Nebraska bill, March®2B, 1804. Speaking to the point under dis cussion. he said : But ft non-intervcntioqgby Congress be the prin ciple that underlies the compromise tlien the prohibition of 1820, being inconsistent with that principle, shield be removed and perfect non-inter® vention thus established by law. Among the many Misrepresentations sent to the country by some of the enenes of this bUI, perhaps no one is more flagrant than the charge that it proposes to legislate slavery into Nebraska and Kansas. Sir, if the bgl contained such a feature it would not receive my v °te■ The right to establish involves the correlative right to prohibit, and denying both, I would vote foroneither. I go further, the opinion that a claifSe legislating slavery jnß> those teratories couf9 not command one southern vote in this House. It is to both Sections of the country and the people to expose this groundless charge. What, then, is the piesent condition of Nebraska and Kansas? \\ by sir, there is no government, no slavery,® and ®teijr little population there ; (for your Federal laws exclude_your citizens) uut a law remains on the statute-book forever prohibiting Slavery in these Territories. It is to take offethis Inhibition, but not to make an enactment in the af firmance of. slavery there. N T ow,®n t the absence of any law establishing slavery i%that region, previous to the prohibiting act, Jt is tgo clear for dispute, that s>t!ie repeal of tire prohibition has not the affirmative f fleet of fixing slavery ,in that country. The effect of the repeal, therefore, is ueitheirlo establish or exclude, but to leave the future condition es the Terri tories dependent wholly upon the action of the inhabi tants, subject only to such limitations-as the Federal Constitution may impose. But to guard fully against honest misconstruction, and even against malicious perversion, the language of the bill is perfectly ex plicit on this point, ******** Tt will be observed, that the rights of the people to regulate in their own way all their domestic insti tutions, is left wholly untouched, except that, what ever is done,’ must be done in accordance with the Constitution—the supreme law for us all. And the rights of property under the Constjtqtjon r as well as legislative action, is properly left to the decision of the Federal judiciary. This avoids S contested is sue which is hardly in the competency of Congress to decide, and refers it to the proper tribunal. @ ******** Then, sir, neither, the purpose nor the effect, of °tlie bill is to legislate slavery into Nebraska • and Kansas, but its effect is to sweep away this vestige of congressional dictating on this subject, to allow the free citizens of this Union to enter the common* territifry with the Constitution nnd the bill alone in hands, o nnd to submit the decision of th®r rights under both to the courts of the country. can go before his constituents refusing to ©stand on the plat for m ®>f Hie Constitution? Who can nfcke a case to them of refiling to abide the* decision of tlie of the Unioifc? ® Sir, nothing about refined distinctions, or subtleties, or verbal criticism. 1 repeat the broad and plain proposi®n, that if Congress may inter vene on tliis s#bject, it may intervene on any other, and having thus surrendered the principle, amlffiro ken affffly from constitutional limitations, you are driven into the very lap of arbitrary powe% By this.aloctrite, you may erect a despotism under the American system. The whqjp theory is on our institutions. It us back to the abhor- 1 * principles of British cflonial authority, against which we made iss'ie otYindependence. nev er acquiesced in tliis odious claim, nna will not be- 8 * 1 liet-c that it can abide the tslt of piftdic scrutiny. — Hee App. Coi& (llobe, vol. 29, page 14li <0 This is certainly as conclusive on the subject as tfie language make it.—The free ciiizen iof the @ Uviion, says Mr. Breckenridge. unfit go into common Territories qtitli the Constitution and bill, (tinning the oqganPc act,) alone in their iamds Had lie come up to the standard of the seceders or Southhrn extrwuists. k# , w§’uld have sap) that they must have the privilege of going into the Territories withoVfie stitution, tin© biH and*B protective law : ojdf Congress in their hands. But Mr. Breckenridge never dreamed of such a doctrine. He stood, fairly squarely and strictly on the non-intervention ftfrm. Upon this platforti he was elect ident of tlfe United States, tttid (jie®seceders all know that he has aXways been tli% steadfast friend and warm supporter of Mr Douglas. ® ® .Ilf. 801 l nml the NTebraskn Bill. The Black Bepublican papers of the are criticising 3\ljf. Bell’s on the Kansas Nebraska bill, that by the re cord lie oppo&d the North throughout that controversy, andojs entitled t© noVonsideratifln from Bepublicans on that score. The Tribune makes a exhibitionfn opposition to the charges of a portion of the southern Democatt icypress against Mr. Bells and eveft maintains | that according journalJhc voted for, and 1 not, as alleged, “against” the repeal o|, the Missouri Compromise. Wha.t will our southern democratic friends s;@>’ to thi§ '{ Wc give below the Tribune’s synopsis, show ingihe“ vote of Mr. Bell on all the important 1 que|tions uj the hill, and®wc ttefto it the special attention of our readers: 0 the speakers of the Dieting on made strong cluing to Nationality for their candidates, because he voted against the repeal of the Mis souri .Restriction. A reference to the recorded %otes of Mr. Bell will show that this his friends is without foundation. 9 o.“l)n Feb. 1854, ?Vlr. douglas inoved the now famous clause wfficli declared the Missouri Restriction “inoperative and vfid.” mo tion prevailed — 35; Nays, 10. ® Among th Teas is the name John® Bell, Houston being only Southetgi Senator amdfig the NiU's— Benton net voting. ® On March 2, Mr. Clayton moved to strike out so much oT Douglas’ as permits g immigrants from Europe residing in the TerrF 0 to.-j, \4Bio elmll liqs’C declared their intention to becisne citizens, to vote. ° Carried—Teas, 23; Najfs, 2D—Mr. Bell voting against permitting tliCjibreign inynigrants tfrote. On meht, dffcldfing that, “the people of the Terri tory, through theii i? ap|fropniate representatives, may, if see fit, jrohibitsthe existences!’ 81avery a therein.” Bell voted Nay. The Kau sas-Nebraska°bill as passed contained the clause 3 permitting the foreign immigrant to vottand on its final parage Mr. Bdl voted against the hill. Hut, as gave no®reasons fur his vote, wc can only gather from his former vot& the grounds of his opposition, and these tjiaf)he was in of the repeal of the Mis souri Com prom iscy®but opposed to giving the foreign residents of the Territory a vote, and® opposeef to giving the people of the Territories the power to prohibit Slavery, even if they desired to do so. 11 is votes will bear other interpretation, unless, after had voted to re peal the Missouri Compromise, lie changed his mind, and voted with the small banof real conservatives who from first to the last resisted the strife-engendering hjll of Mr. Douglas.” Public Sentiment. Our neighbor has written an article so well to the point, for Bell arid Everett, that we adopt it, only substituting out own candidates: ® It is gratifying to observe with what unanimity the nomination of Bell and Everett are greeted, not only in Georgia but throughout the e#lire%outb.— You can scarcely pick up a paper from any quarter without seeing the namesTnentioned with laudation. It said, that public opinion is moulded nnd shaped by the press. This is only the crude notion of the uninitiated. Nine times out of ten,-if not Ninety-nine out of a hundred, the press but re-ech oes the sentiment previously promulgated by the public voice. This is certainly true in the present instance. It has been a long time since we have lreard a more hearty shout or unanimous response from the .people of the South, than what has been given to the nominations of Bell and Everett by tli# people. And tliis has been instantaneous as well as simultaneous; not after the press and the rostrum have been for a long time working upon public feel ing, but it is the generous outburst from the snrm hearts of those who look for no office, have no public i favors to ask, and only wish to enjoy the benefits of a constitutional republican government in common with their fellow citizens These are Ihe men that rejoice in the nomination of Bell nnd Everett, and will eventually confirm that rejoicing by their’ bal lots at the polls. ® ® a> ® -■ - •♦ <B7 Georgia Presidential Flectors!

The same is true, of course, if none of the electoral can didates get such a majority. Then the duty of elect ing an entire electoral college devolve-! on the Legis lature, which in this case is already chosen, so that the question in that ulterior resort, may be consider ed already settled.— Macon Telegraph.

Edward Everetts It shows the horror and repugnance with which, in early life, he regarded attempts to excite the slaves of the South to dissatisfaction and rebell ion He. was also one of- the first Nor.hern statesmen to condemn in proper^terms the infamous raid of , John Brown : @ “If there are any members in the House of that politicians to whom the gentleman from North Carolina, (Air.
