Resolved. That negro slavery, as it exists in fifteen States of this Union, com poses an {mport- ant portion of their domestic institutions, in- herited from their ancestors. and existing at the adoption of the Constitution, by which it is recoz- nized as constituting an important element in the apportionment of powers among the States; and that no change of opinion or fe ‘ling on the part of the non-slavebolding States of the Union in re- lation to tl institation ean fr y them or their citizens in open and systematic attacks thereon With a view to its overthrow; and that all such attacks are in manifest violition of the mutual and solemn pledge to protert and defend each other, given by the States, respectively, on enter- ing into the constitutional « om pact Which formed the Union, and are a manifest breach of faith and a violation of the mcst solemn obligations. 3. Resolved, That the Union of these States rests on the equality of rights and privileges among its members, and that it is especially the duty of the Senate, which represents the States in their sover- eigncapacity. to resist all attem pts to discriminate either in relation to person or property in the Ter- ritories, which are tue common possession of the United States, so as to give advantages to the citl- zens of one State which are not equally assured to those of every other State A Kesolced, That neither Congress nor a Terri- torial Leyislature, whether by direct legislation or legislation of an indirect and unfriendly cha acter, wer to annul or impair the ¢o: tutional right of any citizen of the United States to take his slave property into the common Terri- tories, and there held and enjoy the same while the Territorial condition remains. 5. Resolved, That if experience should at any time prove that the judicial and executive author- ity does not possess means to insure adequate pro- tection to constitutional rights in a ‘Territory and if the Territorial Government should fai! or refuse to provide the necessary reinedies for that purpose, it be the duty of Congress to supply such deficiency. 6 Kesoired, That the inbabitants of a Territory of the United States. when they rightfully form @ constitution to be admitted asa State into the Union, may then, for the tirst tux ple of State, when forming a decide for themselves whether slavery mestic institution, shall be maintained or prohib- ited within their jurisdiction; and‘ they shall be received into the Uuioa with or without slavery, a ir constitution may prescribe at tke time of theiPadmission.” 7.

He also professed Native Americanism at one time; which is, of course, the excuse to be alleged by the American party mem- bers who voted for nim His election is another legitimate result of the action of Senator Douglas and his followers in uniting with the forces of Mr. Seward against the Democratie party during tue last Congress, and thereby leading off to the Repnblican party thou- sands of non-slaveholding State pseudo Demo- cratic voters, who did not fancy to accompany the IUinois leader back to his present position of quasi identification with the Demoeracy.

D. 8. Dickixsox.—The Charleston Prospects of this distinguished gentleman have brightened amazingly here within the past week 0: two, owing to the fact that the advocates of his nomination have succeeded in creating the im- Pression that, if nominated, Le will surely carry New Yerk, by some forty thousand majority. It is known that no other statesman is stronger throughout the whole South. and that California and Oregon may be relied on as being sure to vote for any Democratic nominee who is sound on the Slavery question.
