this point to Lexington hare not lent a band in
itaV.ub'ng a connection with the travel and
business beyond Lexington. We understand that
the d!re:tora of the Lexington and Big Sandy
road are ready to joia our road ta Ltxington, to
adopt the lime grade, and mate tbeir read for
parpojos a continuation of ours; and
all they ask if a subscription of $150,000;
oor di they ask that any liability fhU
be iconrrei until their road is completed
from L;xioiton to lit. Sterling, a distanoe cf
thirty miles. It pa&sei through a wealthy and
fertile region of the State, and it cannot be
doubted that it would add te the receipts of our
to

atd5, when the road ii completed to Big Sandy,
it will connect with the Virginia roads east, and
we shall bare a continuous railroad connection
to the eastern cities from this point; and when
the road to Nashville is completed, a connection
between the eouthaest and the east through Lou
isville. Could anything be mere important to
this city; at. I especially to the two roads from
this point to Ltxington? Unless this connection
is secured, our roads now finished will remsiu
local; tbey will never assume the character of
great thjTooj'ifirei which this eonaeetioa wool!

a connection is worth far more than the proposed

Now Democrats all understand this difference.
Tbey are not at all disturbed about it. Tbey

i a euitabls subject for them to quarrel ov;r, and
worth about as much as their issues generally
are. We hope the Know Nothings will t ntertain
the oouatry on this harmless tubjsct. Let them
Introduce a resolution that neither Congress ncr
t'i territorial legislature can either eUblish
or prohibit slavery in a territory ; or that either
can do it. Tne Democratic party wilt not make
no issue upon such a question, fur the pUin,
simple reason that Congress and the President
can decide it; and prastica'Iy it is quite unimportant what they think about it. It Involves
an interpretation of the Constitution which belongs to julioie. tribunals. No Congressional
enactment can alter the aspe t of the question

ries have all rightful powers of legislation;
subject to the provisions of the Constitution.
If tasy transcend their powers, the remedy is in
the judiciary. Now, maa North or South may
differ as to what restraints the Constitution imposes in a particular case; but agree that a legislature may exercise the power it has ; subject te
that Cons itation.
Tn.ii is precisely the position of the Dt mooracy

therefore, employ themselves about it as much
they please. It is just such a frivolous question
M suits the genius of that party ; and furnishes a
convenient subject for stump speakers.
Practically, any organised community that
does not want slavery has the power to exclude
it. They can do so by making no laws to protect
it, without any positive enactment. The power
it only postponed at most a year or two ; for when
they form a State Constitution, all agree that
they have the power over this subject. What

not intend to foroe her institutions on an unwilling people ; whilst the denies to the North the
light to foroe hers.
But the Democrats, sis a party, neither deny or
affirm what the power of the territorial legislature
is on this point. Those legislatures must de as
other legislative bodies make laws to suit the
people and if they exceed their constitutional
power, their acts mast bo corrected as the acts of
other legislatures axo corrected. The Democrats
will not submit such s question to Congress, nor

On the 21.h of On. last, a Freon'itnan about

of the firm of Borlia Brothers, of St. Louis, Mo ,
called at the Store of Gastave A. Fauobe, Esq.,

lie fulfilled his premise, and selected 41 gold
watohee, worth $2,103, wbioh he requested Mr.
Fauche to keep for him until the next Monday
morning. Mr. F. di J so, and at the time named,
Albrecht(tho St. Louis merchant) cUled wita a
lad, whom he represented te be bis son. The
watches were again produoed,and he commenced
packing them into a cxall wovden box fcrnli hed
bita by the storekeeper. After bis packing was
6 3 inked, be called for some wax to seal it up; and
while iJr. Fauche was getting the wax, be supped
the box into one of his pocaets, and put on the
counter, in its place, one very similar to it in
weight and in every other respect. De then
sealed up the bogus package and left, saying ho
would call in the afternoon, pay for it, and take
it away.
Shortly after he left, Mr. Fauche, in putting
the box away, heard something jingle in it, and
being suspicious that a trick bad been played
upoabim, he in tho preaenoe of two witnesses,
opened tbe bcx, and found it to contain brickbats and cobble stones. The police were immediately notified, but, in the eoursc of the day
learned that Albrecht bad sailed for New Orleans.
He subsequently, however, returned to this city,
acd on Saturday last Mr. Fauche met hint on
board tho steamer Arsgo, about to sail for Europe. He was then arrested, and in his possession
eleven of the stolen watches were found. Justice
Osborne locked him up to answer tho charge.
