EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON OITY: SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Union, in some four columns, reviews the course of Judge Douglas in connection with the subject of slavery in the Territories, summing up as follows : “* We have shown that precisely the position assumed by Judge las at bad been maintained by him in 1850, im the debates and votes on the Utah and New = bills, and in 1554 on Kansas-Nebraska e “ys oe Deceiasonccestiom te preventing South- ern Senators from inserting aclause in those meas- ures denying the power to the Territorial legisla tures to exclude slavery, the Southern Senators succeeded on their part in preventing him from incorporating clauses asserting this power for those bodies. “The truth was that neither section of the supporters of the Nebraska-Kansas bill were able to insert it in lan; e¢ precisely conformable to their views ; 80 they agreed to frame it in terms which would leave it for the Supreme Court to decide whether the Territorial legisla tures the power under the constitution. “Accordingly, before that august tribunal an- nounced its ision, Mr. Buchanan, in his inau- ‘ural address, and, after it was pronounced, in fis jes, was prompt and emphatic in de- claring the adhesion of bis administration tothat decision. Not so with Mr. Douglas. Not con- tent with taking issue with the National Democ- Tacy on the Manes question last session ; not content with arraigning them before the State of Iilinofs upon the charge of attempting to prac- tice a fraud, swindle, and cheat u; the coun- try, be bas made bold to assail the decision of the ‘Supreme Court on the very point ia which he bad reed to accept its judgment, and raised against the party a new and formidable issue on the slavery question. “Thus not only are his doctrines unsound, but he is guilty of a gross breach of faith to bis par- ty to the South, and shown that his heart is as treacherous as his principles are rotten.”” The Intelligencer remarks upon the revival of the question of protection as an element in the policy of the Government. +e {> Shillington sends us Frank Leslie’s Illus- trated paper for this week. ~ Texas.—it appears from the returns of the census of Texas, that the population of that State is about four hundred and fifty thousand. It is stated that in eight years Texas has more than doubled its number of inhabitants, while its pro- ductive capacity has been developed in a still hig her ratio. UD Advices from Venezuela are dated at Laguayra on the 7th of September. General Monagas and J Guiterez left that port on the 3ist of August, in compliance with the decrees of ex- ile pronounced against them by General Castro and the Coavention entered into by the Venezue- jan government with the Ministers of England and France. A Fuettiva SLavgE.—A fugitive slave case oc- cured in New London, Connecticut, on Friday. A coasting vessel arrived from North Caroiina with a fugitive on board. The Captain, disrov- ering the negro, went ashore at New London and apprised the Federal officials, who went to the vessel. but the man had taken alarm, jumped overboard and swam ashore. Collector Mather instituted a search, found “ Joe’’ concealed in a clothing store, and captured him; but Dr. Miner interfered, advised the negro to run, and he did. The Collector got out a handbill,offering a reward of $50 for his arrest, but the man escaped, aud is supposed to be on his way to Canada. —$—___. From Msxico.—Dr. Billings arrived at New Orleans on Monday, bringing despatches from our Minister at Mexico, Mr. Forsyth, to our Government. The principle object of his visit, however, is to purchase Minie rifles for the Liberal army, for which purpose he is well sup” plied with funds. He says the Americans are much thought of by the Liberal party, and occu- Py high stations of trust. He is of the opinion that Sonora will soon be ceded to the United States fora consideration. On the Sth of Sep- tember, a force was preparing to march on to Jalapa, Echeagaray’s head-quarters. tens i(7~ Farther information respecting the burn- ing of the steamship Austria states that the pamp in connection with the fire-engine was not in Working order. Some attempt was made to ren- der it available; but the flames were too rapid. Near the forecastle ropes were made fast tothe chains outside, and to these numbers clung, bat as the flames progressed they gave way and found a watery grave. On the bowsprit passengers laid out piled one on top of another, sometimes four deep. They were finally driven from this last resource, until only one maa remained seated on the extreme end. Eighteen persons got hold of the chain beneath the bowsprit stay, where they clung till 4 o’clock inthe morning. A seaman clambered thence to the bowsprit, and those clinging to the stay passed wet clothing to him until the fire was subdued, so as to render the bowsprit compara- tivery safe. They remained there till picked off by the boats of the Catarina. SEEDED SE INTERESTING FROM SyRia —The Boston Trav- eller has seen a letter from Beyrout, dated Au- gust Ll, in which it is stated that the American Consul for that place had arrived there about the middie of July, with his family, and that the raising of the flag of the Consulate, for the first time in sixteen months, was a pleasant sight for the American residents. The trial of the Jaffa . ¢riminals was then in progress, and it was re- gretted thatthe Dixon family, whose numbers ‘were thinned by the Arabs there, bad returned to America, as it was feared that some of the mis- creants might escape punishment by lack of means of identification. It will be recollected that the remainder of this family, who belong in Massachusetts, reached Boston but a few days since. A rumor of disturbances at Mount Lebanon had reached Beyrout, and the Pasha there, who is only second in dignity to the Grand Vizier, had, upon the representations of the Consuls at that place, dispatched a troop of soldiers to quell the rebellion, as well as to protect the foreigners. A number of missionaries, on their way to ditfer- ent parts of Palestine, were at Beyrout, awaiting the execution of the Jaffa criminals, fearing that it might cause a general insurrection throughout the country, and Prefering to remain under the protection of the guns of the men-of-war collect- ed in the harbor Feanro. Rior—Aman killed—Others danger- ously wounded —A terrible riot took place Sun- day night in the lager beer saloon or gardens of D Oakes, corner of 34 avenue and 78th street, New York city. It appears that forty or fifty Italians were enjoying themselves in their accustomed way between 10 and 11 o’clock, in the saloon, ‘when a number of Irishmen were attracted to the *pot by the music, and on entering the gardens, une of them, named Michael Rourke, commenced dancing. ‘The Italians were not offended at this proceed- ing, and the band continued to play. After dan- cing tunes, Yankee Doodle, Hail Columbia and other national airs were given, and Rourke con- tinued to dance, until he maliciously (as is al- leged) ran against an italian woman. This instantly offended the Italians, several of whom left their seats and ran at Rourke to eject him. Rourke was pushed out rather violently, when his companions outside rusted into the gardens and made a desperate assault on the Italians This was the signal for a general fight, and a bloody scene followed. The Irish had bludgeons, the Italians had knives, pistols and other deadly ‘Weapons, and the fighting was fierce. A man named Calligan was killed and several others ‘wounded ‘The police made a descent upon the place, cap tured a number of the rioters, and found on the Premises a lot of goods of various kinds recog- nized as having been stolen. Several of the parties arrested belong to a gang of burglars, principally Italians, Sicilians and Spaniards, who have for many years carried on operations in New York.

WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. Doveras’s Rervpiatiowor tus Dasp Scorr Dectsion.—Some days sinc® we redeived the following communication, the crowded state of the Scar’s columns has not permitted us to publish sooner : Wasuincton, Sept. 27, 1858. Mr. Forror: Ina leading editorial in this eve. ning’s issue, you express great surprise that Sen- ator Brown, of Mississippi, should sympathize with Dougias, after iation (at Free- port) of the only point in the Dred S:ott decision ‘worth a button to the cause of the South; and, also, that he “ prefers such a ——_ dpa n Arnold Douglas to J e Breese, for Of the United States" , iow, Lam a Southern man, and do sincerely sympathize with Douglas in bis present contest; but if he has repudiated ‘the only point in the Dred Scott decision that is worth a button to the South,” | no sympathise with him, and I know that Senator Brown would not Jeato Juaae ircumstances. I do not prefer Douglas Sree, and lam pace eas that Senator Brown has expressed any such preference. Please be so kind as to give us through the columns of the Star, the words used by Judge Dougias, in the repudiation spoken of, and of Senator Brown, when he ex; his prefer- ence of Dougia: Breese. This request is made simply for information, and nothing else, and I hope you will find it convenient to reply. A Democrat. This correspondent is very easily answered. The only point in the Dred Scott decision which can be of practical utility to the South, is its averment that slavery can and does exist in United States Territories by virtue of the fact that they are United States Territories, and that no territorial legislature can, constitutionally, refuse to legislate for the due protection of slave property within its jurisdiction. That there may be no question of the correctness of our statement of the Dred Scott Decision on this point, we quote it, as follows: Extract From Tas Dexp Scott Dectsion.— If Congress itself cannot in this (prohibit slavery in a Territory)—if it is beyond the powers con- ferred on the Federal Government—it will be ad- mitted, we presume, that it could not authorize a territorial government to exercise them. Itcould confer no _— on any local government, estab- lished by its authority, to violate the provisions of the Constitution. And if the Constitution Tecognizes the right of property of the master in a slave, and makes no distinction between that description of prop- erty and other property owned by a citizen, no tribunal, acting under the authority of the United States, whether legisiative, executive or judicial, bas a right to draw such a distinction, or deny to it the benefit of the provis! and guaramees which have been provided for the protection of rivate property azainst the encroachments of the jovernment. In his Freeport speech Mr. Douglas did scout this doctrine of .he Dred Scott Decision in say- ing, as follows: The next question Mr. Lincoln propounded to me 1s, “can the ple of a Territory exclude slavery from their limits by any fair means, be- fore it comes into the Union as State?” I an- swer, emphatically,as Mr. Lincoln has heard me answer a hundred times, on every stump in Iilinois, that, in my opinion, the People of a ter- ritory can by lawful means exclude slavery be- fore it comes in as a State. Mr. Lincoln knew that I had given that answer over and over again. He heard me argue the Nebraska bill on that principle all over the State in 1854-5 and °6, and le has now no excuse to pretend to have any doubt upon that subject. Whatever the Supreme Court may hereafter decide as to the abstract question of whether slavery ig: f go in under the constitution or not, the people of a territory have the lawfal means to admit it orexciude it as they please, for the reason that slavery cannot exist a day or an hour anywhere unless supported by local police regulations, furnishing remedies and means of enforcing the right to hold slaves. ‘These local and police regulations can only be furnished by the local Legislature. If the people of the territory are opposed to slavery they will elect members to the Legislature who will adopt unfriendty legislation to it. If they are for it, hee! wilt a the legisiative measures friendly to slavery. ence, no matter what may be the decision of the Supreme Court on that abstract question, still the right of the people to make it a slave or a free Territory is perfect or complete under the Nebraska bill. I hope Mr. Lincoin will deem my auswer satisfactory on this point. In this connection, I will notice the charge which he has renewed about the Chase amend- meat. I thought that I had at Ottawa chased that amendment out of Mr. Lincoln’s brain, but it seems that it still haunts bis imagination, and he is not yet satistied. { had supposed that Mr. Lincoln would be ashamed to press that question further. He is a lawyer; he has been a member of Congress; yet he ae eccupied your time and amu: you by telli you about the rules of rliamentary proceedings. He ought te have nown better than to have tried to palm off that miserabie humbug upon this intelligent audience. Now, the Nebraska bill provided that the legis- lative power and authority of the said Territory should extend to all rightful subjects of legisla- tion consistent with the organic law and the Constitution of the United States. It did not make any exception of slavery, but gave all the power that it was possible for Congress to give without violating the Constitution, tothe Terri- torial Legislature, with no exception on the sub- ject of slavery at all. Hence that bill, in and by itself, gave to the ple of the Territory the full power aod the full authority over the subject of slavery, negative and affirmative, to introduce or exclude, so far as the Constitution of the United States would permit. The Dred Scott decision, as quoted above, avers that the people of a Territory cannot ex- clude slavery therefrom by any fair means; and Douglas, at Freeport, as quoted above, avers that they can lawfully do that thing. He proclaims és understanding of the action of Congress in passing the Kansas-Nebraska bill to be higher authority of law, than the formal decision of the Supreme Court of the United States! He does not pretend to deny being him- self in favor of the exercise, by the Territorial Legislature, of the power to exclude slavery, which he claims for them in the teeth of the Dred Sevtt decision. His Southern ne! aper apologists, driven to the wall by his flagrant abandonment of the great point for the South ia issue, prate about hereafter demanding Con- gressional legislation to cure what they now profess to regard as the defect of the Kansas- Nebraska bill, which Douglas proclaims its chief virtue—the alleged authority it gives to the people of a Territory to violate, by legisia- ting against slavery, the right of Southern co- equality in United States Territories. Is there a man outside of an insane hospital who fancies that Douglas is not pledged, chin deep, by his record of the last twelvemonth, to oppose any Congressional legislation to secure the enjoyment of the rightsof the South in this particular, as the Supreme Court declares—in the Dred Scott decision—that they exist? So far as Douglas’s flagrant repudiation of the main (material) point of the Dred Scott de- cision is concerned, we have thus proved it past further controversy. What this corres- pondent asks us to prove with reference to the preference of Senator Brown for the election of Douglas over Breese, is simply a logical trap setfor us. We have not the late pro-Douglas speech of Senator Brown by us; but remem- ber well that it shoulders Douglas in Illinois, as against the world as it were. In our origi- nal notice of it, we proclaimed the belief that the position had been assumed without tull in- formation with reference to the late course of Douglas; with reference to his repudiation of the Dred Scott decision, of which he could not have had a knowledge when delivering his (Senator B.'s) speech; and we added that if be did sustain Douglas, Breese being in the field, (and therefore as against Breese, with such knowledge) we did not perceive how he could hesitate to sustain Mr. Seward, Mr. Hale, or Wilson on the call of personal friendship, if such friendship existed in their case on his Part, as in that of Douglas. We see no reason whatever to alter our opin- ion in this particular ; and are also as sure that Senator Brown, on seeing this Freeport repu- diation of the (to the South) vital point in the Dred Scott decision, will wash his hands of Political affiliation with Douglas and the new helmsman of his (D.’s) cockboat—ex-Senator Foote—as that the sun will rise to-morrow. ——, Navat.—It is expected that the steamers Water Witch and Fulton, now lying at Norfolk, will sail this evening for the Paraguay river. These vessels will not, as is sup posed, proceed first to New York, but will repair immediately to the place of rendesvous in the Paraguay river. They will. first stop at Barbadoes to eon @ fresh supply of coal. The Southern also expected to leave Norfolk, for the same destination, during this week. _ Frou Uran--The Indian Bureau has re- Gently received a letter from Dr. Forney, Su- perintendent of Indian Affairs in Utah, dated at Great Salt Lake City, September 3, 1858, from which we quote as follows: ‘ WRORSETOWR, Oct 5, 18S.
