All men arc born equal; they are

unalcnable rights among these are
life, liberty, and the pursuit of Aappi-
ness" These are the words Of our
Declaration of independence, as every
body knows; and We presume it is for
the purpose Of manifesting to the rest
ofthe world, not blessed with similar in
stitutions, their continued and unaltera-
bic belief in the truth and practicabili-

OF the North have 50 frequently be
fooled themselves with their tulsome
alteration of celebrities of every class
and description. Titled foreigners and
opcra-dancers, literary men and boxers,
statesmen and singers,-all come in
for their share of Northern worship and
Northern plundcr.
And even when the bascst ingrati-

country are abused by those mortal
deities on their return home, nothing

A telegaphic despatch from Wash
ington, says:
The Florida interest case has been
decided by the Supreme Court. The
claimants were anxious to get the
opinion Of the Court in their favor on
the subject of interest, and also as to
the legal authority of tho Treasury
to pay it without an act of Congress in
addition to the acts heretofore passed;
but the Court refused, and dismissed
the appeal for waht of jurisdiction.
The Court avoided expressing any
opinion or any other question. 1t is
said the Investigations have resulted in
the discovery that the claims were
never allowed as being within the
treaty Of 1910, but were given as
o gratuity, and that it will be shown to
De so by the report Of the congression-
al committee and the laws, and that
the Treasury will not pay the claims
without fulther legislation.
