BRECKINRIDGE vs. DOUGLAS.
Douglas and Breckinridge are a long
vay apart upon the Territorial issues We
dace in juxtaposition extracts from Doug
as’ Freeport speech in December last,
rbey need no comment:
EXTRACT FROM DOUGLAS’FREEPORT
SPEECH.
Lincoln’s Speech.—Can’t the people of the
Jnited States Territories, in any lawful way,
.gainst the wishes of any citizen of the Uni
ed States, exclude slavery from their limits
irior to the formation of a State Constitu
lon? _ . ..
Douglas’ Answer. — The next question
impounded to me by Mr. Lincoln is, can the
>eople of a Territory, in any lawful way,
gainst the wishes of any citizen of the Uni
ed States, exclude slavery from their limits
jrior to the formation of a State Constitution.'
[ answer emphatically, as Mr. Lincoln has
leard me answer a hundred times, from every
itump in Illinois, that in my opinion the peo
ple of a Territory can, by lawful means, ex
nude slavery from their limits prior to the
'ormation of a Siate Constitution. [Enthusi
istic applause.] Mr. Lincoln knew that I
S had answered that question over and over
again. He heard me argue the Nebraska bill
on that principle all over the State in 1854, in
18oo, and in 1856, and he has no excuse for
pretending to be in doubt as to my position on
that question. It matters not what way the Su
preme Court may hereafter decide as to the
abstract question, whether slavery may or
may not go into a Territory under the Consti
tution; the people have the lawful means to
i introduce it or exclude it as they please, for
the reason that slavery cannot exist a day or
an hour anywhere, unless it is supported by
local police regulations. [Right, right.]—
these police regulations can only be estab
lished by local legislation, and if the people
are opposed to slavery, they will elect repre
sentatives to that body who will, by unfriend
ly legislation, effectually prevent the intro
ducton of it into their midst. If, on the con
trary, they are for it, their legislation will
favor its extension. Hence, no matter what
the decision of the Supreme Court may be on
that abstract question, still the right of the
people to make a slave Territory or a free
Territory is perfect and complete under the
Nebraska bill. I hope Mr. Lincoln deems my
answer satisfactory on that point.
EXTRACTFROM MR. BRECKINRIDGE’S
FRANKFORT SPEECH, LAST DECEM
BER.
Mr. Breckinridge has been speaking of
the Dred Scott decision, and continues as
follows:
Well, that being the case, and it having
been authoritatively determined by the very
tribunal to which it was referred, that Con
gress had no power to exclude slave property
from the Territories, and judicially determ
ined that the Tenitorial Legislatures—au
thorities created by Congress—had not the
power to exclude or confiscate slave property,
I confess that I had not anticipated that the
doctrine of friendly legislation would be set
up. Hence, I need not say to you that I do
not believe in the doctrine of unfriendly leg
islation ; that I do not believe in the authority
of Territorial Legislatures to do by indirection
what they cannot do directly. I repose upon
the decision of the Supreme Court of the Uni
ted States, as to the point that neither Con
gress nor the Territorial Legislature has the
right to obstruct or confiscate the property of
any citizen, slaves included, pending the Ter
ritorial condition. [Applause.]
I do not see any escape from that decision,
if you admit that the question was a judicial
one, if you admit the decision of the Supreme
Court, and if you stand by the decision of the
highest Court of the country.
The Supreme Court seems to have recogniz
ed it as a duty of the Courts of the Union, in
their proper sphere, to execute this Constitu
tional right, thus adjudicated by the Supreme
Court in the following language. In speak
ing of the acquisition of territory, they pio
nounce it a political question for Congress to
determine what Territories they may acquire,
and how many. Now mark the words of the
Court.

THIS INSTITUTION will be open
ed on the first Monday of Septem

Dr. D. McFayden. Parents and
guardians desiring for their sons or
wards a classical education, aftpr the old
fashioned style—embracing the thing itself,

pointment by sending them to this School.
Dr. McF. is an experienced teacher, and es
pecially skilled in the Latin and Greek lan
guages.
This school is situated in Prairie county,
near the road leading from Des Arc to Atlan
ta, and about three miles cast of the latter
place.
For the favorableness of the locality—being
remote from the vices and temptations incident
to all towns and villages—for the healthiness
of the place, and for the influence likely to be
exerted upon the pupils by the surrounding
community, the writer would refer to all who
are acquainted with the location of the school.
For the qualifications of Dr. McFadyen as a
teacher and classical scholar, consult Rev. D.
