Mr. Pujrb, of OVo, resumed bit remailta. lie explained the meaning of ibe Kansas-Nebraska bill hich he regarded as a surrender of the power of Congress orer the Terrttoriet. He denied that the Dred Scott decision was saacep- title of the Presideot's interpretation. The f" President seemed to think that tbe frequent assertion of the same thin is finallj to be accept- i min mm fn.tt. It miaht tut aecfotM bf nlacemen ftnJ personal admirers, but the claim that there was anj vetted right to bold slaves Is the Territories by virtue of that decision it oot sustained bj facU. lie reviewed the Dred Scott decision k.t length. ' Having read an abstract of the Dred Scott e&ie, be denied that the Supreme Court bad therein sf tiled the qnesUon of slave property in the Territories. Congress could not make laws to violate the Constitution., , : Mr. Green, of Missouri, said that he had distinctly seated that the qnetin did not arise before the diurt, whether a Territory could prohibit slavery by iU own power, hot ibe qiistion wan whathr Ci:i JTfas -nl l prohibit slavery in he Trrit"'.rie. 0'i ihat the Court jfsiv an opinion. iVi.'il n 'Yirrjirv riilil Tint it.r-.-4i ' .-Mr. tur' rt-'l . uvle CHirn-t issVirtnijf o;mi.-i'lii, and in h cnurse t.f hi rainnrk d-u i th. t'i power tf I-;is!:vLte ri-sl"J in the Gover- n r and Jylt-s of the Territory.

The policy of the Governments towaidi the Territories had been more liberal a the eob-: ject wss discussed. He denounn-d the ordinance of 17-7 a tjrannieal and odious, n it imposed i . projrMrty qualification on voters. . H further denied that the Freeport spe-cb of Mr. Douglas was the first enunciation of the doctrine of popular sovereignty. It bad.lteen c-aerted when he first came hwre by a pentlftiinn now in Mr. Buchmiati' cabinet. Mr. Pugh then read from a epeeeh made in Portland, in whir-h. it was admitted, in reply to a charge that the South wanted to force 1very-into the Territories, that a Territorial IgislatnrH by a failure to pass protectiug laws miht virtually exclude slaverv. ' Mr. Dvi denied that the speech wag suecep. tible of such a construction. Mr. Pugh I don't know whether you have revised your speech or not. Mr. Davis You dt know, fur I have told you to. . ; . ' - ' ' ;.''" Mr. Pugh I did not know when I spoke. I do know now. ; , Mr. Davis I will say that was my impression. The speech was addressed to the people ot the .Northern States in reply -to the ofl-repeaied charge of orcing slavery upon a commiiniiy. j He could put no olber interpretation on it than j that it was in the language of the Senator from Missouri, suegesting to the people of Territories to keep out slavery. : Mr. Davis would eav that he addrecsd an-audience more intelligent than the Senator, if that was bis construction.! Tbey perfectly uiidt-rstood bim and put no such interpretation. n it. He said that no sort of property could be held under the laws if juries were opposed. He bad cited a particular case in Utah. Mr. Pugh taid he did uot know what the audience understood. The Senator's language wat in print to go forth to the conn try to be judged. Mr. Davis said the Senator pat in what be could not find. Nothing was said about legislation, hut something was said about the power of the people, when opposed to a particular kind, of -property, '.. ... . ..' Mr. Push read over Mr. Davis ipeech la ana-lain his construction, and said that-'if fhe Ter ritorial Legislature was in seftfon' looking for ways and roearni to prevent, slavery in' the 7"trrir tory, they conU do . no better than t AjIIow the Senator's advice. ' -. - : . Mr. Davis Do; you say there' is advice-ib my speech to the Territorial Legislature to pass laws to riubarrs iha riht property in tlavet f u Mr. Pueh Ho.- But you suggest tbe passage of no laws.' He explained that wbaj ,be' meant was that Mr. Davis' speech was as much, ,4 vice at Mr. Douglas speeeh'at Freeport. i " Mr. Davis denied Mr.Pngh's right to sav even tbat much. He bad taid nothing about legislation. ; i ; iJA Mr. Pugb taid tbat tb rangnagv : 4aVwi'--'ip. plied to Congress, but q the people" of the Tef-ritories." k ''7i i t.j . ,-J- ,.

Every Senator, knew that tbat bad been bit opinion while Chairman of the Committee on Temtoriet Mr. Mason, of Virginia had not so understood the former position of the Senator from Illinois. Mr. Douglaa said that no 'tee in tb Senate had an excuse for not knowing it. He had re peated it as often as tLe question came np. Mr. Green contended khmt all bad agreed to abide by the Dred Scott dectsioaT and since then the Senator from Illinois bad raised the question. Mr. Davis thought that aboot the period r,f the passage of the Kausat Nebraska act. the Senator from Illinois was sounder thaa at any other time. ; -: ; ' Mr. Douglas said that at the proper time, when urging the Ivansas-Nebraeka act, oq the very night of its passage, he held and expressed the opinion which he noweotertains at to the power of the people of the Territoriea. . Mr. Davis said he was not then a member of this body, and did not, therefore, have the bap piness to bear the Senator . Mr. Douglas Then- yon should not express ah opinion as to my sound oesa if you did not know. my views; ' Mr. Davis continued acd expressed the opinion tbnt Mr. DjUjflas had purpoaefy been deposed from '. the Chiruiiiship of the Committee on rrriioris. as his views were uot in accordance with' th se if the mnj'.rirv.

For eleven years be acted as Chairman of that Committee, all the tine boldinK the same views as he now holds. ' At the end of that period he was removed, though he had not changed his sentiments. This only showed that others changed while he adhered with fidelity to hi principles. -. " ; Mr. Green said the Senator from Illinois in lraG accepted this as a judicial question, and agreed to abide by the judicial decision. During the eleven years be had referred to, the Senator from Illinois never had asserted that a Terrilo rial Legislature possessed a power whicb Congress diJ tJOti .- . Mr. Duk'm admitted that he regarded this as a judicial question, and did so bow. The Dred Scott decisiuu did nut settle it. . It was not argued before tbe Court. It would have been disgraceful if tbe Court bad decided apon what was not before it. When a Territorial Legislature passed an enactment prohibitiug slavery, the Supreme Court could decide the question, and he would respect the decision and help to carry it out ingooi faith. That was the understand' ing wbeu the Nebraska bill was passed. Ue did uot believe the decision of tbe Court would be ugainst hrs views. Mr. Green stated bis views at to the under tai ding at the time of the passage of the Kan Kits-Nebraska bill, and said tbe Senator from Illinois would -not dare to dispute bis propositions: V ; ' M r. Dooglas replied that the word "dare " was unnecessary, and it was nnaecassary to bandy wards. He dared to assert the truth. He thought he knew what bit own opiniont bad been at well as the Senator from Missouri. He would vindicate every word he had taid, and when the Senators bad all gotten through with their bills of indictment against bim, be would firs at them in the lump. Mr. Green, excitedly The Senator can fire awaj whenever it suits bi convenience, either at us in a lump, or individually.

' Pugh resumed It was easy to thrust per sonal feeling and personal assaults, iato e controversy. It bad been done by the Senator from MissUsippi, a ud imitated by the. Senator from Missouri.' He contended tbat tbe question of the power of the people of the Tessitoriet wat still an open question. When H 'waa decided by the Courts be wat ready to obey. Tbe whole controversy bad beeo forced on tbe Senator from Illinois and himself, under circumstances of outrage ant) indignity which, bad to be met. If it con tinned to be pressed is this manner the fate of the Democratic party it tealed. , Tbe sub ject bad bees thrust forward by the Pretideat ia bit mewage, by the Vtco Pretideot iabit atf-dress to tha Legislator, and oa this floor.

When bis assailants had gotten throughJe wpnld reply to them in a lump. ; : , : )p; .;. Mr. Davis i thought the Senator from IlUnoia exalted himself abore bis level when be supposed a necessary combination formed against bim. J As to his goijg at tbtm in the lamp, be had bet ter try to get through with one of them. ' ,: : Mr. Douglas would iostitote no comparisot between himself and the Senator as o the modesty of their bearing. He bad ' been; assailed while lytog on a sick bed, as rotten by one who confessed to a rottenness at heart - twelve years ago. No assaults would be make on anv one; He had no foudness for controversy, and his po-J . Mr. Clay, of Alabama, said be would show that the Senator bad changed his views. In 1850 be voted for the Wilmot Proviso. He would not' have extended the right band of fellowship to bio as a Democrat, if be had not believed that he bad changed his viewt. :The complaints of assaaltsand combination looked like seek iug popular sympathy, which be abhorred as the act of a demagogue. He feared that the Senator was like Cleon, who rushed into the market place exhibiting self-inflicted wounds to exrite sympathy. Mr. Doogtas denied seeking popular sympathy. He never would have alluded to his- deposition-from the chairmanship of the Committee on Ter ritorles if it bad not been thrown in bis face. He denied the right of the Senator from Alabama to criticise bit Democracy. He did not think the Senator's opposition- would affect bis vote in Alabama. He never bad made speeches! to noit toe nomination or toe vJon vent ion unless his man was selected. The Senator, by his pro-tuueiamentoe, bad put himself outside of the Democratic partv. If the Senator did not extend the right band of political fellowship, be would surviTe the stroke. If he happened to be nominated at Charleston, he would consider the Senator from Alabamans much booored!by hieaeeep ' - k . a . ... ... . . iing nis vote as ne nimselt wooKl be in teceiviog tu ne uaugi&sj Oh not court tbe nomination at Charleston. He would not accept it excent upon a platform conforming td his views. He would never commit the meanness of being elected on a platform and kick it over afterwards.- He believed that two-thirds of the Democracy of the country wet e with him. His removal from the Committee on Territories must have been mHnt as is proclamation to the world that no one boidirtgbis opinions wh9 unfit to be chairman. If such proscripiive tests are to be applied, what chatice w3 there to elect a Democratic eandi. date? He wnulf not Sav he was no willim m anrv. - . . r t port a Democratic nominee who differed with Mr. Davis said he had no objection to Mr. Doulan ai Democrat, except on this particular point He wh wi'Uisr to give him the eh air-matiKhip of his Uonsmittee. Mr. Green S am I. Mr. DouorUs said he could nt, under the cir-ciimstahrea, take any other Committee. For e-leven years hit opinions were no disqualification. He did not see why tbey were so how. Mr. Davis said be wished to know whether the Senator wanted to mke as issue with the Dem-ocrHtic Senators on thirf question or on all? Mr. Doi g as replied that he wished to make issue with S-r.ators on neither side of the House. Prcseripti' n had everywhere been exercised a gainst all h dding his views. Was any man pre p'red t accept the Charleston nomination pledged to proscribe them, and then so mean as to ask the voies of those proscribed. It was certain that one-third of a party could not subdue two-thirds. He yielded to no man in the soundness of his Democratic and State Rights principles aud upon the slavery. question. He would make no abandonment of principle, bo recantation. If the Senators were satisfied with their own re-Cords and would leave his alone, all woul.ljro welL if they assailed bim a controversy must ensu. ' . . Mr. Davis disavowed any desire to assail the Senator, and defended the Administration from tbe charge of proscription. Mr. Clay made some explanatory remarks. He preferred principles to party, and had therefore declared that be would not support any objectionable man. Mr. Douglas taid he voted for the Wilmot Proviso under instructions from the Illinois Legisla ture. Mr. Doolitths. of Wisconsin, asked if the Senator from Illinois believed now that Congress hat power to legislate noon slavery in the Territoriea, Mr. Dooglas said he believed Congress had no power over slavery in tbe Territoriea. Mr. Fitch's resolution to elect a Printer on Wednesday next was adopted. . The Senate then adjourned till Monday. The OJHo Convention Resolutions. ; Below are the resolutions adopted by the Democratic State Convention which met in Gol-umbns on the 5th inst.

Fortunately, tbit odious alienation has not yet proved to fatal at fear aod disgust naturally misconceive.

We tee now a South Carolina Senator, witb-a thousand negro slaves, clinging to the Union np held against Abolition, witb intense attachment; and that rut yenerts monster, John Brown, is almost, if not quite, 'the: only American traitor ever executed. Since Li berty "and Slavery were united ta this Republic by nature, by territories, by rivers West and seas East, by language lineage and other indissoluble ties, Abolitionist flatter themselves, with false unction laid to heart when they think they can ditmerober such a Union. After the present Brown temporary hab bnb passes away, as it toes will, the chief resalt of Brown's treason will be the election next year of a Unionist for President, strongly pronounced against Abolition, beyond all doubt, by a large majority. No future event can be more certain. For Brown has been the' only genuine heroic Abolitionist tbat bat appeared. Their railing at Slavery from a distance it like dogs baying at the moon. Sincere, earnest and determined Aboli tionists would, like Brown, march right upon the negro quarters, storm them, and covet martyrdom, however inevitable. Preaching, praying and lecturing at a distance where there is no Slavery, howling homilies over that martyr's carcase after he was hanged, all such coarse sentimentality, either prefatory or posthumous, is sheer nonsense of abolition . Lecturing Abolition at twenty-fiye cents a ticket, or preaching it on a salary of so much a year, may feed aod perhaps celebrate tbe play actor of modern specta cles, caricatures of Roman partem et circense for tbe entertainment of chamber-maids, idlers and other rabble. But hundreds of miles from the scene of action it is but sterile poltroonery, although misdemeanors indictable by common law.

Dennison's Statesmanship."- ' " ' Trem tha Ohio StaUsraan.1 " '. . , Tbe chief executive officer of Ohio it pre tamed to bare been called to hit high position on account of bit superiot talents, nit wisdom and bis patriotism; eel in hit high tlstkra it is eat-arally expected that he will not-only have tbe qualifications but maintain the character and dignity of a statesman. A careful examination of the lengthy laaugural Address of our present txecotive will convince any intelligent man, net blind! by his prejudices or rendered incapable of an impartial judgment by his party feelings, that statesmanship it a qualification "that Mr. Denniton has not got; and it it not likely that he ever will acquire any prominence therein The capacity to tee things in their true charac ter, and tbe determination to state thea at tbey are, and not as be would have them, U not among the gifts of our Executive, and all the experience Of bis life wiU not be likely te correct this de feet in hit character. Hit inaugural proves tbat be tt sadly deficient, that he it anequal to the position be fills, and that he baa an inward con tciousoeeeof tbe fact and would fain cenceal hit lack ef statesmanship by a gaudyTdisplay of words sad rhetorical ; flour isbes signifying; nothing. As a scbsol boy's - composition, Mr. Den nison's Inaugural Address would hardly be re garded as a meritorious effort;; as a State paper emenating from tbe Governor of a great com monweaItb.it possesses neither the logic, the dignity or the power, that is expected ina-docu-TSent from aa iocoaing executive. At a college com position or a lyceura lecture, it would bead-mired for its emptineas and laughed at for Us ridiculous assumptions of stateliuess; . as ao expression of the sentiments of nearly half a mil lion of voters, it necessarily assumes aa importance far beyoad its merits, making, its a bear dities far more objectionable, at they are that made the more notable. - We have already ex posed tome of the inconsistent absurdities of tbe document, and will now briefly allude to others. The Governor attributes most of tbe prosperi ty and bappineas of the people of Ohio to tbe absence of African slavery within the limits of the State; and the want of progress in the tlave Statet he attributes to the presence of tbe same institution. New if tbis view be correct, slavery it a misfortune of the Southern States, and if it be a misfortune, it is nnbeceming in tbe Gover nor of Ohio to berate and aboae our sister States about it as Mr. Dennisoa has. ' The misfortunes of an iadividual or a community should be re spec ted. They nre not the proper subjects of ridicule and abase, and one guilty of insulting those who have midfortune entailed on them, commita-aa nnpardoaable' violation of decency In bit long indictment against the Sooth, Mr. Denniton dwells upon "what he is pleased to term "the violation of the Missouri Compact of 1820. : This Inflated nonsense constantly used by Republican "speakers hat so often been ex ploded that it is unnecessary to refute it again; Mr. Dennison bat' time and again refuted it by bit own wjrdt. 'The Missouri Compromise vtr. tually established slavery south of tbirty-rix degrees thirty" m tnntes. and Mr.Den o ison holds that Congress bat qj constitutional authority to establish slavery anywhere, hence, according to hit own logic, ast Compromise waa unconttitn tropaL and ahould bave been repealed. Ho absurd, then, tt ;'s for Mr. Dennison to denounce one section of tbe country"' for mere? aiding in the repeal of as unconstitutional enactment His formal - accusation against . the Sootb tbat she is in favor of the re-opening of tbe African slave trade is rtdicnlous and absurd. This sc. cutation it notoriontly false. It bat been denied by the Soalbern people through tbeir represen tatives in .Congress, and throogh their public meetings and presae in the most solemn mac ner, and the facU of tbe case attest the tincerlty of . tbe denial. Any one conld teH Mr. Dennison tbat the re-opening , of the ' African slave trade and the Iree-ioopartatioa of negroes wpuld re duce the value of southern slaves immensely, and thus ruin many of the slat'tbolders ,of tbe South. In view of tt in state of the case- bow could be arraign the Southern people , upon a charge so grave, and yet 40 utterly groo'nralet.

Tbe estab' lishment ot such n colony Jot tuch a purpose id too ridiculous to need one word of comment Hit allusioni to hit love of the Union are too inconsistent lo be sincere.. He draws a picture of the confederacy of these State, which if true could be loved by ao one-. He says it it rttled by a tlavebolding oligarchy, and tbe free Stales are represented as being mere pigeons to follow in tbe wake of tbe vulture. He tayt our Southern brethren rule' us with tbe lash, ride over us rocgh shod, and compel us to lick the hand tbat s mites j-then he protests bis extraordinary -.devotion te : the Union, which, if bis allegations be true, is . bat the emblems of our vassalage.

But be bas described il J not as it is, but at be would have It and for tha honor of tbe State, for the credit of tbe people in the name of all the revered associations of fel lowship and hardship, trial and ta&eriag, wit's which tbe early days of our Nationality tseoa oected, we protest against Air view of tbe Union being taken by our sister States as the authorised1 sentiment of tbe people of Ob tof ; Mr, Dennison bas invested bis entire political capital ia the negro. , Oberlin and the Reserve1 master bim; be bowslo tbeir politieal idol, and from tbem be expects hit reward. He has Joined that strife seeking, turbulent, agitating; spiteful, fanatical abolition flock of political vultartt and barpiee, who look upon the negro as .the only thing on earth worthy of their consideration or esteem. Mr. Denniton can never aspire to be anything above an agitator. It it well to nndr stand him at the beginning of bis term. He is the representative of tbe Oberlin School and as such he will from the . chair of State be their chief agitator far two years.? Wab bis performance ia that line tbe people will at the end of bis term be satisfied, and will permit bia tore-lire without one regret, Such at least is our opinion. : - 11 111 1 " ' : ' Gen.
