0EF The case now pending before the Su-
preme Court at Washington under the title of
bred Scott vs.. Sanford, is a very important
and interesting one, as in its discussion it in
wolves the doctrines Of aquattersovereignty-
the consttutionaHty of the Missouri Compro-
mise, and incidentally the whole power of
Congress over the subject of slavery. As we
have before stated it is the claim of q negro to
freedom, on the ground that he was taken Into
Illinois by his master, where, by the constitu-
ton of that State, he became Free He sub
sequently returned to Missouri with his mas
ter; and after his T, turn, sued for his freedom
in the Courts of that State. The Missouri
Courts decided that the right to freedom being
unclaimed in Illinois, the rights of the master
were resumed on his return to Missouri, and
that the State Of Missouri cannot be called on
to enforce the municipal laws of Illinois.

New School m0use.

The Herald advocates the construction Of
a new School House, and offers some very
good arguments in favor Of the project. We
trust that building suitable TO the wants oI
our thriving place and honorable to the pub
lie spirit of our citizens, will ere long be
erected. The difference which good School
would make in the population Of the place,
as the Herald intimaes, would be very con-
siderable. We know, from experience, that
such would be the case, unless, indeed, the
people OF Vinton are less desirous TO edu-
cate their children than those of other
counties. Whether it would be better to
proceed forthwith to construct the building
or wait until the heavy tax incurred by gra,
ding, paving and guttering the streets is re-
moved, is a question for the citizens TO de-
termine on Saturday next at the ballot-box,
A vote is to be taken on that day, as we un.
derstand it, whethera tax shall or shall not
be levied for School building.
We hope the people will tum out to q
man, 50 that fair expression of the public
sentiment may be had upon the question.

0Cy The Old LINE WHIGs.-We hearth
ly approve the spirit and object of this move
ment, commenced by the Wings Of Kentucky
aud indulge a hope that will meet response
from all who che rish kindred sentiments
Meanwhile, for ourselves, we can only say
to the "Old-line Wings" whom it may be
our honor to address, that it still seems ex-
pedient to us that the Wing party should
preserve its distinct organization and, as we
have heretofore had occasion to suggest, abide
its proper time for making the weight ofits
influence felt in that decision which duty
and patriotism shall call upon it to take
in the present conjecture Of political events.
When that decision shall have been ascer-
tanned, we feel assured it will be found on
the side OF sound government and national
prosperity, since TO suppose otherwise would
be contrary to the history and antecedents
of the party throughout the entire period of
its existence and ac activity.-NAT. lETELLI-
