THE" ADVERTISER. 11. W. FOIIX AS. KD1TOII. TniT.DAV MORNING, JAN. 12, 1800. FOR PRESIDENT IN 1SG0, STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS. Of the United Slates. FOR VICE-PRESIDENT, ANDREW JOHNSON, - - Of Tennessee: Territories. We gave last n abstract of the Message of the President, and quoted the most'ir.portant pan relative to slavery in the Territories. It is hardly necessary to eay that the positions taken by Mr. Buch anan "totally differ from what u considered ns'th'c true doctrine ly the Democracy of the North and West, and will be repudi ated by the great majority of the party. In order to show the fallacy of the Pres ident's argument, it will do no harm to . . t ' . i put again betore ine eyes oi oar reauers the .most extraordinary passages of that extraordinary paragraph in the Message concerning the territories. It cpens thus : I cordially congratulate you upon the final settlement Ly the Supreme Court of the United States, cf the question of sla- ...... " V, n Torrilnrlo tvKirfl hr.t f!rS- cnted cn aspect so truly formidable at the -commencement of my administration." If it is true that the Supreme Court, ly the Drcd Scott decUion, "finally settl ed the question of slavery in the Territo ries," then Mr. Buchanan is singularly behind his time in congratulating Con gress upon an event which had occurred three years, previous the delivery of his Message, a document supposed to con tain new information. Bat he knew very well that such was not the case, and in writing those Jiri2S, he evinced a degree of coolness unsurpassed by anything we have heard of for a long time. The truth is, the question of tslavery was not settled by the Supreme Court; it lias perhaps never been so far from being settled as it 'is now ; it is the prominent topic now at 'issue in all parts of the Union; and UCYCr UClUIU YY&3 UUilllUU UU 11113 cdlllC "settled question more violent than it is at the present time. Everybody knows! that, "and no one is better acquainted with 1 these facts than the President. Mr. Buchanan proceeds as follows : 'The right has been established of cv- ery citizen to take his property of any kind, including slaves, into the common Terri tories belonging equally to all the States of the Confederacy, and to have it pro tected there under the Federal Constitu tion. Neither Congress, nor a Territorial Legislature, nor any human power has any authority to annul or impair tnia ves ted right. The supreme judicial tribunal of the country, which is a co-ordinate branch of the government, has sanctioned and affirmed these principles of consti tutional law, .o manifestly just in them selves, and so well calculated to promote peace and harmony among the States." Now, there area great many men of high standing, Mr. Djugla3 among them, who, we suppose, are as good readers and . as good lawyers as Mr. Buchanan, and who deny that the Supreme Court ever decided any such thing. The attorney of the slaveholders in the Dred Scott case, Hon. Reverdy Johnson, and even mem bers of the Court itself, have repeatedly declared that no such decision was given. . The only point really decided was, that Dred Scoit, being a negro, was not a cit izen of the United Slates, and, therefore, right to property in slaves, J.ic evil would be intolerable." "The evil would be intolerable!" In deed! When did Mr. Buchrr.an made this discovery ? No dU it u since he wrote his letter of acce;tauc8 cf the Pre sidential nomination; for, i;f w: "re...e Icr right, he then sai l thru' '',:.$ r.ecple of a Territory, like ihos cf' a Side, should determine the slavery question for themselves!" The ?.z quotation we will make, reads as follows : V- ,L..' .'. ' "Thus his the stilus of: a Territory, during the intermediate period frou its first settlement until it shall become a State, been irrevocably Hied by the final decision cf the Supreme Court.". This is cool, too! "There's ice in it." Irrevocably filed ! Are the decisions cf courts never reversed ? In the language Mr. Buvhansn himself used when speak ing in the Senate of the United States on a decision of the Supreme Court, "eyen these decisions, like all other human things, are modified and changed by the exrericr.ee of time and the lights of knowledge." But far from "irrevocably" fixing the ttatus of a Territory, the Slavery Prohibitory Bill. , The Bill prrhibiting Slavery in the ter nary cf Nebraska, passed the House, with seme crnendment3, on the 3d, by tho fc!'. iving vote : Ayes 3.iin, ILker, Bo wen, Bur! ink. Campbell, Collier, Crowe, Davis, Ilan: com, Lake, Latta, Marquette, Ma ell, Myers, Rogers, Reck, Stevenson, L.w art and Taffe 19. Nays Adams, Arnott, Barnard, Bel den, Brodh:ad, Goshen, Hinsdale Jon son, Keeling, Kennedy Malcolm, Noel, Nuckolls of btoe, Nuckolls of Richard ardson; Reynolds, Shields, Tufft, 17.! : Absent Bates and McCasland. On the same day the bill went to the Coun cil, end the amendments were concurred in. The vote stood as follows : Ayes Boykin, Cheever, Doane, Dun dy, Furnas, Porter and Reeves 7. ' Nays Collier, Little and Scott 3. The bill reads as follows: Whereas. Some of cur citizens seem to fear that Slavery or involuntary servi tude may be a fruitful source cf discord an! disunion in the Territory, and in or der that we may not have any further agitation upon this unpleasant subject and that the same may be rorever settled, Sec. 1. Therefore be it 'enacted by the Council and House of Representatives of Supreme Court did not "fix" it at all, for e jerruory oj ,turuu, ua. j S k M W V'i uiitui j - - - punishment of crime, be, and the same is the very simple and very plausible reason that the question was net before that body for adjudication. Such a perversion of facts, and such a doctrine, coming from a Democratic Pre sident, would be perfectly unaccountable without lijrht thrown on the antecedents of Mr. Buchanan, and the motives which prompted him to utter sentiments so con trary to the popular sovereignty principle to which he owes his election. ' The Cle veland Plaindcalcr says: "Mr. Buchanan has undertaken to de cide by his ipse dixit a question which the Supreme Lcurt has not decided, and to forever prohibited in this Territory. w ... . Sec 2. This act shall take enect and be in force from and after the first day of July, 1SC0. . As the above bill passed both branches cf the Legislature after the Message of the President had been received at Oma ha, the prompt action of the Represent atives of the people cannot be considered otherwise than as a rebuke to, and a re pudiation of, the "new and dangerous doctrine" enunciated by Mr. Buchanan. It shows that the Democratic party in this Territory, are, not disposed to sub- dictate the Democratic party what it shall mit tamely to the 'dictates of any man, do at the Charleston Convention in refer ence to the slavery question. Mr. Buch anan will find out that he is not yet king of this country nor dictator to the Demo cratic party. His opinions in regard to political matters are cf very little account.' He is often and most grossly mistaken in regard to what constitutes Democracy, and his reading of party platforms and court decisions amazingly defective. He commenced life a Federalist. All his and are resolved to maintain rights of the people. intact the Gov. Black returned to the House the bill to repeal the ferry charter of John B.

He lived to middle ee an un compromising Federalist so much so that he declared 4if he thought he had one drop of Democratic, blood in his veins he would open them and let it out.' He ne ver had occasion to make the incision. He has been a Federal in disguise all his life, playing possum with the Democratic party, holding its offices and enjoying its honors.

The steamship Indianola arrived at N. Orleans, Jan. C, with Brownsville dates of the 2d inst.. Cortinas, with 500 men, took the city of Rio Grande on the 21th ult., killing a number of citizens. Subsequent ly a body of troops and rangers, from Brownsville, attacked Cortinas and re-took the city after a hard fight, capturing the guns of Cortinas and sixty Mexicans. Nine Americans were killed and sixteen . i wounded. Among the latter was Capt. j Ford who led theattack. Cortinas fled across the river. A fire broke out on the 3d inst., in a tenant house, in New York, occupied by V m " seven Jew iamiiies. bix persons were burned to death, viz: Marcus Nalthancy and two children, Emily Burns and child, Lewis Grofender and child, and a woman named Mary Day. The Captain of the yatch Wanderer, with four of her crew, have arrived from Teneriff.

State Organization. President. The Leavenworth Herald of the Gth inst. says : The Denver City Express ar rived yesterday, seven days out from Den ver, and brought S22:000 in -gold. Mr. had no right to institute a suit in our na tional courts; and the opinions indirectly expressed by the court, or by the different members of it in the case, have no legal .and binding authority. The doctrine laid lown by the President in his Mes fnge, being divested of the mantle of sanctity he would cover it with a decision of the Supreme Court, rests then on its . merits or rather demerits alone; and it nover will be indorsed by the people of the North. His opinions that slavery ex ist mall the Territories by virtue of the Constitution; that although the people of a Territory were unanimous in their de sire to prohibit slavery, they could not do it; that Congress and the people of the Territories through the Territorial Le gislature have the power to protect but not to prohibit slavery ; that no human yoirer can stop its extension ; are Views which the Democratic party in the great Northwest are not vet. and likely will never be, prepared to adopt. The closing remark that such a princi- pie is "well calculated to promote peace and harmony," is another cool assurop . tion. If slavery exists in the Territories under the Federal Constitution, it is the . duty of Congress to pass laws for its pro tection, the Territorial Legulature fail ing to do it. Then, instead of being localized, the slavery question becomes a subject cf national politics; "the agitation would thus be rendered incessant;" ma terial would be afforded "to keep alive a dangerous excitement among the people of the several States;" and sectional strife and struggles, which would con- .vulse the country, would be the result. The only way to have peace and harmony is to adhere to the doctrine of Congres sional non-intervention, and let the peo- ii i .-i as coma De expeciea.
