SECOND MARRIAoEs-I Important Decision Judge
Allison, OF the court OF common pleas, on Satur.
day last, delivered the opinion of the court in the
case of Harrison u.s. Harrison, which rules, and we
think very properly, an important question in the
law Of divorce. Mrs. Harrison was formerly mar
ried to a man named Hlldebrandt, who bad another
wife living at Baltimore. On discovering this prior
marriage, che prosecuted Hidebrandt for bigamy,
upon which charge he was convicted. by his own
confession, and duly sentenced by the court. The
act under which he convicted Of bigamy de-
clnres the second marriage null and void" Her
husband, in this case, applied for divorce on the
ground OF this former marriage with Hildebrandt,
and commended that the prior marriage with Hide
| brandt should have been annulled by the court of
common pleas, in libel for divorce, before Ihe
lady was at liberty to marry again. The court,
however, decided that either n conviction for biga.
my, Of a decree in libel for DIVORCE fully an
nuIled the second marriage, and that as Hide
brandt was duly convicted, his marriage with the
present respondent was thereby declared null and
void, and she WAS fully at liberty to enter into the
marriage with Mr. Harrison. the present IL
bellsnt or plaintiff. The prayer of Mr.. Harrison
was therefore refused, and his marriage with the
respondent decided TO be as valid as if che had
never been married before Phiia. Ledgr.

The Indignation Meeting.

Without any intention of casting reflection on
tho gentlemanly secretary of the Indignation
meeting the other night, must be permitted to-
say, that bis report does not do justice to tho Scott
feeling II anifested on that occasion. The motion
to adjourn made by anti Scott man, was
voted for by the anti-Scott men to auoid defeat,
and was voted down by the Scott Wings by accla-
nation. They were determined to have q direct
vote.
Again, when the vote taken on Temples

when a division called for and taken, at least
five to one voted FOR the substitute, although.
owing TO the lateness Of the hour, many Scott

present, that the Democrats cheered, and some of
them poted whh the Fiuibusfers Much, indeed
most. of the .nti-Scott feeling was manifested by
them.
1t is trpe the meeting adjourned before TIM

this was because the result was apparent. Nv
shouts of!riumph and hearty cheers for Scott such
as have not been heard since 1884, khev announced

Fillmo-e, three for Webster, and nine for the Whig

the United States are not doing snug and
saving business, and receiving full value for
all their disbursements!
In whatever aspect we regard this question,
whether as one of national economy or national
pride, we can arrive at only one result. We
are clear upon the point that if Congress should
give the memorialists all that is contemplated
by the Senate amendment, the United States
will be ultimately great pecuniary gamer
But we are equally clear. as matter of ma
tional pride, and one touching the "pubic
opinion of the world" the line should be sus-
tanned, cost what it may. You cannot estimate
in any known coin the SOVEREIGNTY OF THE

probable that the fools or knaves who construct
extravagant phantasms might be foolish or
knavsh enough to try to realize them if the
fates supplied them with chance but we are
confident that the bait thus throwg out to en-
tange our foreign-born citizens will be hauled
in without prize. They are not be caught
by a trick which begins by outragng common
sense.
In what light the South-especially those
portions of it which have cast Democratic
votes-will view the unequvocal adoption OF
the fght-every- body principle by the Northern
Democracy, remains to be seen. If Southern men
are content to lie in the same bed with MARTIN
VAN buren,, HALE, and RANToUL, they may
manage to stretch another point and take in
KossUTH too; but we are not prepared to be-
lieve that they will consent to do either. One
is obviously incompatible with political honesty;
the other strikes at the very foundations Of our
prosperity and peace.

MIR. RantOul.

The Boston Post, Democratic and Com
promise journal, in its number of the 7th in
slant, says:
"Mr. Rantoul addressed part of his constitu
ents at Mechanic Hall, Salem, on Monday, and,
after come historical reflections appropriate to the
day, announced that he should support the Balti-
more Democratic nominations. and exhorted his
hearers to do the same, forgetting his rejection as
a delegate to the convention. Either Pierce or
Scott, he said, must be President; both uphold the
Fugitive Slave law, but the Democratic candidate
is far superior to the Wing candidate; and this is
the time for the Democratic party to be united, and
every portion OF it should be called together"
