The Roll Case Decided. Cold Comfort
for Whiggery.

For some weeks past, poor disconsolate
whiggery has been trying to take some COM
fort from the fact that the Wing candidates
for Senator and Representatives, in the SO
called "frst district of Hamilton county,
had commenced legal proceedings against
Mr.. Roll, Clerk of the Court of Common
Pleas Of Hamilton county, for giving certifi-
Gates Of election to the Democratic candid
ates, who received a majority of the votes in
the county. Not only have the whig pa
pers taken comfort from this circumstance,
but they have made it the occasion for let
ting loose much Of their pent up fury at the
democrats and democratic officers Of that
county. We at last have the decision of
the Court in the case, and if whiggery can
find any consolation in it they are welcome
to it They now have the decision of the
majority of tbs peoples Representatives and
Of the Court against them, and they should
be satisfied with it. The decision Of the
case was rendered by Judge HART. who is
wing who received his appointment from
Gov. Ford. The following despatch to the
States ran gives the decision in the case:
Cincinnati, Nov. IL.
The decision Of the Hamilton county
Court Of Common Pleas, in the case of
Broadwell, Scott and Runyon Us. Clerk,
Roll, was given to-day.
The suit was brought for the purpose Of
dismissing Roll from Office, for giving GER
ti6ctes oi election 10 the Democratic can
didates for Senator and Representatives
from Hamilton county.
The Court decided Judge Satin dissent
ing,) that it did not feel it its duty to inter-
fere in the matter. The complainants had
their mode of redress by an appeal to the
Legislature, the proper tribunal to decide
the matter that no proof had been offered
to show that MIR. Roll had acted corrupty
in the discharge of his ddty, but that, on the
contrary, the opposing counsel, Mr.. Storer,
had admitted that he believed Mr. Roll had
acted conscientiously, and could net have
done otherwise than give the certificates as
he did it having been certified by the Jus
tlces, that the parties receiving them, had
received the highest number of votes. The
case was therefore dismissed-Mr. Roll de-
creed not guilty, and was, therefore DIS
charged.
The opinion declared by the Court was
very lengthy, but given clearly and sue
'inctly by Judge Hart

Honesty, Capacity and Fidelity,

Were the prerequisites necessary to Sc
cure man an appointment to any Office an
der the model administration of the second
Washington. No man was to be proscrib-
ed on account Of his political opinions, and
the only thing to which Gen. Taylor would
look in administering the Government, was
the good of the country, of. the whole peo-
pls. Such were the avowals Of whiggery
before the late Presidential election, and
upon its accession to power. Yet, no ad-
ministration has piled the guillotine to its
political opponents as constantly, sparing
neither age, sex, or condition; and nothing
but difference of political opinion has
Caused this almost universal hustling Of
Democrats from Office. How much re-
gard has been paid 10 sthe "pre-requsites"
IN confering some Of these favors, and how
much the public interest has been promoted
by. these changes may be gathered from
the following: F-

ton. Never did an executive commence bis
career with brighter prospects in the future
before him; never was one so utterly re-
gardless of his pledges and promises to the
people, nor has any ever been so complete
IL rebuked by the freemen Of this Eation.
From the day that Gen. Taylor assumed
the Executive cnail, we have witnessed a
succession Of the most glorious Democrat
ic victories. State after State has wheeled
into democratic line, until almost the only
state left for whiggery is the state Of despair.
What work for few short months,
The elections of the present month have
been equally disastrous to the administration
party, and must carry conviction home to
them, that the people @loathe and detesta

In Michigan, where ,he~Vbigs and Free
Soilers formed an unholy alliance to defeat
the Democracy, Barry, the Democratic can
didate for Governor has from 5000 to 5000
majority, the coalition elect but one Sena-
tor, and but one out Of four to the House!
In Wisconsin the Democracy have shown
no quarters to whiggery. Dewey, Democrat,
has over 1000 majority for Governor, and
both branches Of the Legislature are large.
ly Democratic. But three counties in the
State give wing majority!
Mississippi elects John A. Quitman, Dem
ocrat, Governor by nearly 10000 majority,
the entire Democratic Congressional delega-
tion, and large majority of Democrats to
the Legislature! ,-..--.
Louisiana, Gen. Taylor's home, has elect
ed Democratic Governor, and three of the
four members of Congress are Democrats.
In New York, even, where Gen. Taylor
last fall had majority Of $4,000, and
where the Democrats have been so long at
variance, the result is far more favorable
than we anticipated. The contest has been
very close one, and the result is not vet
fully known. The latest reports state that
part of the Democratic State ticket is E.
lected, and that parties in the Legislature
will be about tie. The result shows that
the Empire State is Democratic still!

@ The reports seem to indicate that
the Democrats have lost member of Con-
gress in the Wheeling Congressional dis
trict, Va. The loss is attributed to the un-
popularity of the Democratic candidate with
large number Of the voters of the party
in the district, though with large MAORI
ty he is said to be the most popular man in
the district. e
This loss is made up by the gain Of a
member in Mississippi. If all the members
shall be in attendance, neither party. will
have majority in the next House.

Thus in 1887, exelaims Mr.. Dix, the
excluslorfof slavery where it did not ex.
list, nay, even in new Territories where
it did exist, (for slaves were then in
the North-W Teri,ory,) was then the
unanlmousverdict of the whole country.
We further quote Mr.. Dix:
"The South united with the North in
excluding slavery from the territory. 1t
was an unanimous verdict of the whole
country against the extension ofslavery.
1t was the first great movement of our
revolutionary fathers TO rid themselves
of the responsibility, and the country of
the evil of slavery. And | take great
pleasure in awarding to a southern
man, (Thomas Jefferson,) the concep.
tion of this great measure of justice and
humanity.
"While the congress of the confeder.
alton, sitting in New York, was fra
ming The ordinance of 1887, the Federal
Convention, sitting in Philadelphia, was
framing the constitution of the United
States. While the former body was
devising measures for the exclusion OF
slavery from the north. wes,ern Terri.
tory, the latter was engaged in provi-
ding for the suppression of the African
slave trade. Thus, the representative
of the newborn republic, legislating for
government, and framing new system
for the better administration of their
common concern, sitlings in different
places, and acting in separate capaci.
ties, were jointly engaged in eradicating
what they considered great public
evil and reproacb. While the former
declared that slavery should thence.
forth be forever prohibited in the north.
western Territory. the latter virtually
declared (hough in the form of a res.
