Where one takes all, there is no Compromise. Where each demands all, and will take nothing less, a law-suit follows and the final verdict and judgement are far from being a Compromise. So under, the Bill tw which we refer. It would have been in effect but a change. of the tribunal which was to determine upon our rights. The Su preme Court, instead of Congress, was to pass-upon them, and by its decision, we were cither to gain all oriWall. Let this be borne in mind: and lest it may not be at first view apparent, we call attention to the provisions of the Bill. By the 26th Section, the Legislative power of t he Territory was jested in the Governor, Secretary and J udges, who could pass any law for the administration of justice, " not re pugnant to this Act, or inconsistent with the Con stitution of the United States," but no law was to be passed, " interfering with the primary disposal of the soil, respecting an establishment of religion, or res pecting the prohibition or establishment of African &la very." ' The 31st Section provided the mode by which writs of error and appeals were to be carried up from the Supreme Court of the Territory to the Supreme Court of the United States, and refers specially to " cases involving title to Slaves." The Supreme Court of the United States then, was to be the ultimate tribunal to determine the question. Its decision was, so long as the Territorial government continued, to be final. Tiiat decision would hate been against the South ! The Supreme Court would have been bound thus to decide ; and why do we say so 7 In a num ber of adjudicated cases, it has established the doc trine that when a Government acquires territory, eitherby conquest or purchase, " the laws, rights and institutions of the country from which the ter ritory is acquired, remain in force until altered by the Government so acquiring it" It was so decided in the cases of the American Insurance Company vs. Carter, 1 Peters' Rep. 542, and St rot her vs. Lucas, 12 Peters Rep. 410. The same doctrine is laid down most clearly and distinctly in numerous other decis ions of the Court It is recognized by all the wri ters of authority on International law. How, then, stands the case under consideration ? By an Act of the Mexican Congress of 1837, Slavery was abolish ed throughout that country. When we acquired California and New Mexico, then, Slavery did not exist there, except perhaps what is termed Peon ser vitude, differing widely from the institution of Afri can slavery. Under the decisions then, to which we have referred, Slaverv cannot exist in those Terri- tories until established by Act of Congress, unless it be true that so soon as a Territory is acquired, the institution or relation of Slavery is to instanti, crea ted by operation of the Constitution of tbc United States. If it be true, that to establish Slavery in New Mexico and California, Congress must pass a law to that effect, then whoever carries his slave there, before such law is passed, and submits a con test between himself and that slave for his freedom, to the ultimate adjudication of the Supreme Court, will be the loser, unless that tribunal should entire ly disregard all. its past and uniform decisions. It would say, until the United States alters the laws which were in force in New Mexico and California when they were acquired, Slavery can not exist tltere- m. liut it jue supreme court were to deciue tbat so soon as these Territories were obtained from Mex ico, the Constitution of the United States, without legislation by Congress, extended into and over them the institution of Slavery, then it is couceded the Slaveholder, carrying his Slaves into them, would be safe. But is this true 1 Can such a doctrine be sus tainedf Can it be for one moment conceded that our Federal Constitution was intended, and so fram ed, to be a Slavery propagating machine which, propria vigore, directly and of its own act, and by virtue of its own provisions, so soon as the country over-which it operates is enlarged, instantly extends over th'e soil acquired, the institution of African Slavery, now existing' in some of the States? In what word, sentence, Section or Article of the Con stitution can this doctrine be found?. .None. As ardently as we are attached to the institutions of the . . " . - -..(.. ..

Why, sir, look to what contradictions and absurdities your doctrines must lead.j The State laws are different and conflicting in reference to the subject and institution of slavery. In some it is not recognized at all, and docs not ex ist. !f low are you to reconcile, to harmonize all these laws ? We are in a pleasant fix indeed, to have our chief master, the United States, to serve, and then thirty smaller ones, wielding their sceptres over us, and that number liable to increase annually. These j State laws cannot be reconciled, because the Terri torial Legislature is forbidden to legislate on the subject. Well, how will the thing work ? You Mr. H, are from North Carolina, and thero is Mr. S, from Louisiana, Now suppose I had an execution against both of you, pne-as principal and the other as surety, and I had levied that execution on a negro woman and child belonging to you, and a negro wo man and child belonging to S what laws would go vern that sale? You would insist that the laws of North Carolina prevail, and wishing your negroes to bo sold to the best advantage, you would require them to be sold separate but S, perhaps, would say, the laws of Louisiana look upon a woman and child as differing from a mare and colt, in some respects at least, and there they must not be sold separately, and this being rather the most humane way of doing the thing, S would demand that they be sold together. Well, the sale is made, and Mr.O, from New Hamp shire, becomes the purchaser, and very soon an exe cution is slapped upon him, and the same negroes are levied upon by what laws is the sale then to be reg ulated ?

J. M. Howard : "Nii.es, October 13, 1844. " Dear Sir : I have to say, in answer to your let- wsr w me win lust tnai wtule n the city of Detroit, about the middle of April last, i was in the habit of meeting and conversing with Gen. Cass daily. The subject of politic was introduced, by Gen. Cass, and be would comment freely upon political men and measures. Upon one occasion I had a conversation With Gen. Cass, on the plank walk in front of Col. Howard's house, the subject of which was the c; Ty lerrTexas Treaty," upon which he made very severe comments. He said he teas opposed to the annexation of Texas upon any terms ; that we already had more territory than we knew what to do with, and the more territory w6 possessed the greater would be the difficulty of. preserving the Union ; that, if wc annexed more territory to please the South, we should be forced into a war with England to annex Canada, to please the North. It was intimated to Gen. Cass that England might 6ecure Texas as a colony; to which be replied: "My God! if Eng land wants Texas let - her have, it; we dqn't. It is better for us to have civilized than a barbarian nation for a neighbor? liTeurs respectfully, C. K. GREEN." The truth of this statement has never been pub" iicly dented by General Cass, and it is believed that he has never privately denied it The Baltimore Convention was then about to meet for the nomination of President. Mr. Hanne gan, a member of the Senate from Indiana, was friendly to the nomination of Gen. Cass. He ad dressed a letter to him shortly after the conversation with Mr. Green, above described, requesting his rew on ine annexation or l exas to the U nion; Gen. Cass replied, but in a manner not entirely satisfac tory to his friends at Washington. He was request ed to be more explicit, and the famous Eraser Mag azine letter was the result. In that precious produc tion he reversed his willingness to let England have Texas, and went as fur as the farthest in favor- of annexing her to the United States. Indeed, , he treated the danger from English influence and inter ference as of more consequence, and more danger ous, than any one could have expected, after read ing his declaration to Mr. Green, that, "if En gland wanted Texas, let her have it." The "Standard" insists that Mr.Claytonis Com prOmtse Blti was 'an 'cmutcas compromise, ami ee verely reprobates M.

He was a man est and unassuming. the Presidency a year before the sitting of the Phil adelphia Convention. He was fairly nominated by that Convention. He believed him to be a true Whig. Our opponents said he was a Whig'and tbey tried to disgrace him and the other Whig Gen eral, Scott, by putting a democratic civilian in com mand over them. He did not believe the slavery question had anythiug to do with his nomination. The Convention believed him to bea Whig, thought him to be the best man under existing circumstances and therefore nominated him. Mr. Webster spoke at some length, in vindicating the Whigs of the Con vention and extolling the character of Gen. Taylor. He denied the correctness of the Buffalo Platform, which stated that the nomination of Gca. Taylor was induced by a desire on the part of the Whigs to extend slave territory, nor were the Whigs of the South accountable for the nomination. Whether it be good or bad, the free States had some sixty ma jority in the Convention and could have nominated whomsoever they pleased. Mr. Webster said that, in his judgment, the question who shall be our next President lay between tieneral laylorand ueneral Cass- One f them will be elected whom then should the Whigs vote for? We could not all have eur personal preferences gratified; the slues were not about to fall 60 that we could catch larks. It was idle to talk about third candidates. We bad enough of them in 1344.. Every vote given for Bir- ney in that election was half a vote for folk and the annexation of Texas, and every vote given this year for Van Buren was practically half a vote for Cass. He had warned the people against this third party folly in 1844, and he would again warn them of its consequences. He spoke of the Buffalo platform said what there was good in it, was wnat tne vv nigs had always advocated, and V. n Buren andiua naa m wsya gan against iniat mm e wtm mw in n, was unsound. He had no confidence in Van Buren. It would be ludicrous to express confidence in Van Burcn's free soil principles; tor he had opposed ev erything that looked like free soil all his life, and he bad no doubt, from the Knowledge tie naa ot tne man, that were they together, Van Bureu,wouia liugn m his face when the free soil question was named. Mr. Webster went on at some length to show up Mr. Van Bureu's conduct lie had always been the supple tool of the South the aider and abettor of slavery. He did more, said Mr. Webster, to defeat John Quiucy Adams, and elect General Jackson, than any ten men, in tne country. He was the soul and centre of the opposi tion to Mr. Adams, tie spoue ot his conduct while Secretary of State, in his opposition to the abolition of slavery in Cuba.

Why, said Sr. Webster, the Van Buren men in uoueress nan not oniy aougu-iaces. but they had dough-heiirts and dough-souls were all dough. He said that there were Whigs at the Buffalo Convention wnom ne respect ea nigniy, oui. be thought it would have been proper, before they took up Van Buren, to- nave required oi - aim iruus meet for repentance.

He was for continuing the Mexican war.v He is all for war. TJow. said Mr. Webster, we are.to cnoose oetween a man like Cass and one like Gen. Taylor. One or the other will be elected, and no one eise. it is x ay- lor or Cass. ' - , . : Gen.
