PROTECTION NOT INTERVENTION, The General Government is established and maintained for certain purposes ancrg these purposes is the protection of pcrscs and tie rights of persons in property, wherever such per sons or property are beyond the limits or the ju risdiction of a sovereign State, as for instance i the Territories or on the high seas. Protection to persons, and to tlie rights of per sons' property in ruch cases, being a n'jKi &z 1 the duty of the Federal Government, one of the ends for which it was established, one cf the things for the doing of which' we pay it heavy taxes, it has no right to refuse this protection to any-?pecie3 of property recognized by its princi pals the States, of whom it is the agent, and who pay it well for the agency, North Carolina as well as Massachusetts. ; - The Federal Governments cannot impair cr destroy the right of any. citizen cf the Unite 1 States, to the enjoyment of his property in any of the Territories. If It puts him beyond the pale of the lawif it refuses him adequate protection-, it fails in discharging one of the duties devolving upon it it fails in carrying out one of the ends for which it was created. , Congress may and does establish local munici pal organizations in certain portions of the pub lic domain, and the only proper and legitimate end to" be attained by the establishment of such tion of persons and of the rights of persons ia property. The local, temporary and prov'isicn-af organization, known as a Territorial Government, is simply-a convenient instrumentality for the discharge of the duty devolving upon the Federal Government. That duty is, as before said, t protection of persons and the- rights of persons in property outside of the territorial limits of a sovereign State.

It would te a discrunn3tion, an intervention against such prop erty, and it is Idle to say that slave property is on ly cutitled to the game kind and measure of pr tection that is given to any or all other descrip tions of property. The statute books of all nations and people show that different kinds of property refjuire different kinds of legislation f jr their pro tection. A dwelling house is a subject of arsc-iv but a mill-pond is not, " Such tilings will readily suggest themselves to any person taking the trou ble to think about it. . i .i l j it tenner tne uenerai uovemmeut, men, nor any other power has any right of interference c iaier- vention with the institution ot slavery in the Ter ritories it has no right to do aajtLir.g for the in troduction of that species of-$roperty neither has it a right to do anything for Tt exclaslon. Its duty is charged when it extends htdequatt protection to persons and the rights of persons in property iu the Territories, and vnill then, and it cannot free itself from thisobligation. by delega ting the duty of protection to any local organiza tion. . It can only delegate the duty cf protection it cannot divest itself of the obligation. " It has no power of destruction or unfriendly legis lation and can delegate no such power. It cannot delegate the right to destroy or Impair. The only object of its institution was protection to consti tutional rigbtThc fourth resolution of the series passed by the Senate of the United States enun ciates distinctly this principle. . This resolution was incorporated into the platform adopted by the State Convention of North Carolina, There the Convention stopped, having for further legisktivo coniidcration to indicate the proper mode and lunner in which the enjoyment of such right should be secured. We believe with Hon. C. C. Clay, that" to admit the right and yet assert the power in a territorial government to prevent Its en joyment, is to deny that the Southern people sro entitled to the protection of their common Federal Government" Journal. , New Bank in Murfhy, N.
