ation of Congress respecting domestic slavery, derived as it has been from the original and pure fountain of legitimate political power, the will of the majority, promises ere long to allay the dangerous excitement. This legislation is founded upon principles as ancient as free government itself, and in accordance with them has simply declared that the people of a Territory, like those of a State, shall decide for themselves whether slavery shall or shall not exist within their limits. Dr. Rope will there find my answer to the question he propounded to me before I commenced speaking. Of course no man will consider it an answer, who is outside of the Democratic organization, bolts Democratic nominations, and indirectly aids to put Abolitionists into power over Democrats. But whether Dr. Hope considers it an answer or not, every fair-minded man will see that James Buchanan has answered the question and has asserted that the people of a Territory, like those of a State, shall decid

864, by George E. Pond—Campaigns of the civil war, XI. A Review, by Colonel Wm. Allan. This is one of the most interesting of the Scribner series and is valuable because of the clearness with which it is written, and of the amount of research it shows in bringing together information from widely scattered sources, concerning an exciting and important campaign. As history, too, it is far better than General Doubleday's Gettysburg, though it is far behind the best numbers of the series. Mr. Rope's Army under Pope, and General Palfrey's Antietam, for instance. It is mainly a narrative of the Federal operations in the Valley in 1864, only describing and discussing the Confederate side, so far as is necessary to the comprehension of the achievements of the Union armies. While, too, Mr. Pond's language is temperate, and he aims at fairness, his bias is very evident, and often converts his pages into a defence of, or panegyric upon the Federal commanders. He is not careful to state t

upon the enemy in advantageous and the reading of a creek, this world seem probable, and yet it may be true. We are said to have captured ten thousand stand of grass on the battle field of Autie which will balance the enemy's captures of small arms at Bull Run. But it does not balance our losses of that kind at Harper's Ferry, nor our losses of artillery, which were heavy both at Bull Run and Harpers Ferry. As the result of the whole campaign commencing with the advance upon Gen. Rope, be have gained in the material of war, and have very much upon stores captured from our army, and upon provisions and forage plundered in Maryland. They must now subsist, for the present upon the secession far more of the Valley of Virginia. Without speculating further upon the future is obvious that the present military although a good one, if nothing more to proposed than the defence of the loyal States is a very bodies, in view of the fact that it is not a defensive war we
