stitutions Of whole people have been excluded
from vast territory which belonged TO them,
by any thing else than the power and the des.
potism Of tyrant.
In this case the pretence on which the thing
was done, was an insult to the understanding
superadded 10 the degradation Of caste. The
inhabitants of California excluded slavery This
they had a right TO do, if they were eligible 10
admission as State. But conceding that, and
it is the utmost magnanimity can concede, they
had 70 more right TO include all that territory
In their own boundaries than 10 include Vii.
ginis. TIE admission Of their pretensions to
such vast extent Of territory, was the pretext
for securing the exclusion of slavery from it oil
it was palpable--it was known,--and sub
mission to il on such a pretext was submission
to an outrage not only on the rights of The
South, but the common sense of the South.
We think 1t would have been more respectable
and more honest to submit to the Wilmot Pro
,iso than 10 the compromise fraud. The South,
in that event, would have been degraded, but il
could not have become so ridiculous and con.
temptible, as desperate attempts to find bubbles
and excuses will render it.
The address undertakes TO rebuke South
Carolina for "resenting the outrage more than
other Southern States, which share with her the
injury" in an equal if not superior degree. This
Is a mistake. South Carolina has not as many
slaves as Virginia, but she has larger proper
ton. In South Carolina there are more slave,
than whites in Virginia only about half &C

have referred. The weekly papers in the "rural
districts" can be referred to- by all who wish ob'
amused by full a,counts Of them. All we desire to
do at present. is to show that even the gentlemeno Of
thelorg robe-the staid, sober, and digni6ed mem
bers of the udiciaryare not exempt from the fail
ing, if so it may be termed, of being guilty OF o
freak occasionally in dec ding cases brought before
them. As proof, We may cite decision made by
Judge of Court of Common Pleas, recently, in
Massachusetts,. 1t appears a suit was instituted
against the city of Charlesto wn, for excluding a
girl from the public schools. The defence was tina
tn girl was was not virtuou, and proof was offered
to suhsantate the fact. 1t was contended that the
admission of such girl into the public schools,
would be detrimental to the morals Of the scholars
that they would be contaminated by associating
with her-that their minds might be corrupted by
coming in contact with such person, on the prin-
eple, no doubt, that scabby sheep might in
feet whole flock. The school authorities, ho "
ever, did not wish to deny to this loose girl the
benefits of instruction, and they accordingly an
nounced their readiness to teach her by herself
separate and apart from the body of the scholars,
tie. care of whose morals was, to great extent,
coIfded to hem, ard who were proportionably re-
sponsible for their after lives No such compro-
mise, however, would be accepted. This bad girl.
it contended could not legally be excluded for
such q cause, and it was contended she should be
instructed in the same room, and in the same
class, with the other girls. The right was not
corceded, ard the result the institution Of sui,
to compel the s:hool authorities to admit her The
counsel for the plant f, We learn, contended that
the facts brought forward by the school au thorties
constituted no defence and to the astonishment of
all present, the presiding u ige charged the jury to
the same effect. Under the circumstances, verdict
was rendered for the plaintiff, for the jury could do
nothing less. 1t is gratifying to know that on an
appeal to the Supreme Court the ruling of the Judge
below was overrued, and the verdict set aside, thus
establishing the principle that school authorities
are justified in exercising Discretionary power of
excluding girls of bad character from the public
schools.
This IS of the most extraordinary FIRE AXIS of the
judiciary thai ever came to our knowledge. We
cannot perceive how Judge on the bench could
rule the judge in this case did. If his decision
were allowed to prevail, our schools would become
pests our innocent daughters would be brought
into immediate contact with vice; their minds
would be polluted, and ruin. irremediabe ruin,
would be wrought to society. Our children's
morals would be destroyed, and virtue might be the
ption among the future mothers of our sountry
instead of being, as it now is-characteristic
Verify, lunatics are sometimes outdone in their
