To e!io - that his theory is the only tract one,' Mr Dougl tys: And if -it -be true as stated by : the Pre- Jnt in a special message to Congress! that slavery :ied in Kansas by virtue of the Constitu- tioni o . j United Stated; "and -that therefore,. .

' ' ' , ' j.

One instance, we think, ;wilL servato' show the difference between" the effect of'the Conltitution upon a State , and Terri tory. A Territorial If jrislature can not make a' disposi- tion oithe land o a Territory and why ? Because it is the property bf the people of the United States I held by the Go veil lmeut as trustee to the use of the id States, and a Territorial legis ent of the - general -. go verninent,'- people of the TJhi lature, which is a can not convey ciper the -legal or equitable title to any other save-thk cestui que use. and if it make a disposition of tlie; lands,-"It violates its trust. But a SUite -Legislature hiay dispose of the property of the. State, and here.Jes the distinction. If Mr Doaglajt "could first establish his point that sThe terri tori esVare distinct political communities, iand that thcy arc as sovereign and independent as Jt -y 1 esrStfc linrn he could prbvoVa great jdcaL Euuch is rit the case.., ..The people of the Terri toriesW and upon the footing and equality of the p,coplrv bf the States generally. They are not distinct political communities, and there is no dis. tinction between Federal and local authority in the Territories. -We think, we have proven this to the satisfaction of all, at least to our own satisfaction. - "Vcrma3r hereafter take up some of the minor points of J udge Douglas' theory, hut as we have dis posed of the most prominent we do not consider it necessary to continue it regularly; Aurora Bokeallis.

We clip the following from the Raleigh Standard which, we fully endorse and commend it to the care ful notice of our rcadersL After opposing and re futing the arguments of Mr Douglas it says i ; The opposition ' in this State and elsewhere in the South, are estopped from saying one : word in condemnation of the doctrines of Senator ' ouglas The Seward doctrine of the Wihnot Proviso was their doctrine as a national party up to 1 1854, when they dissolved and enlisted under the banner of Know-Nothingism ; and even "then, with all the j odor of nationality which they claimed, they ignored the question of slavery, r, As Whigs, they were willing to see the South excluded from all the common territories, or rather they acted with a party which always voted thus in Congress to ex elude us ; as Know Nothings they had nothing to say, but were willing to stand by and see the Free soiiers triumph. As JF7iig,' majiy' of their " own leading orators and organs, including the Raleigh Register, admitted the W draot .Proviso to be von stitutional KnawNikingt they would not see that thtr South had rights in the Territories, but ignored their very existence. . As V 'Oppositionists" thev are now ready." if not to exult over at least Jto aouiesce in the election" of Seward. " Mr lielL I of Tennessee, says he will act with the Black Kepubli cans in a certain event; and" the Raleigh Register declares that as between a national Democrat and a black Republican for President, it would make no choice ! With " their hands on their moutlis, aud with their mouths in the dust, let them be thank ful to the national Democratic party for its past ex ertions and present efforts to protect the Constitu tion and perpetuate the Union, and to secure to them and tliLir posterity -equal rights and privelcges as citizens of a commonfcountry. - If the national Democracy cannot command justice for the South, it is quite certain that the "opposition," controlled by Seward, -will not If there is nothing to hope for from the Democracy," then" there is .no ground . of hope,' Let those (if there bo any,) who think there is no ground of hoper either make up their minds to resist like men, or prepare td lie down under the Insults and indignities which the Abolitionists will put upon them. If Seward is elected, squatter sovereignty and Territorial sovereignty will be triv ial things, compared with the aggressions which he will make upon us. Under his administration, and those of the same stamp who may succeed him, the States must become either slave "or free I i That is his doctrine and that is the policy which, his tri umph would inaugurate. : -We repeat, our only hope is' in the national Democratic party. That party will nominate, a sound and true man at Char leston. As wevalue our rights,- and as we would perpetuate the Union as our fathers "formed it, let us rally to the nominee and elect him. m - r Of course, as between the ttvo, or in fact be tween Mr Bates, Bell or Botts, we would prefer Mr Douglas' theory. Their is entirely antago nistic to the Constitution and destructive of the best interests of the South. Their doctrine is that Congress has a right to abolish slavery in the Territories, ahd if this right was once conceded, the next and inevitable, result would be a right to abolish it in the States.
