rect view Of this whole question, is to suppose
all the States 10 be no0 slaveholding States as
then, and ask what then would be the decision
in regard to slavery going into the Territories
This and this alone tells the whole story. All
other phases Of the case are deceptive, and re
quire inespun metaphysics, unintelligble to
him who utters them as to those who listen.
We have hastily thrown these remarks to-
gether. They may serve as semen for refec.
ton to ripen into perfect form and shape.
We have given the true basis for the decision
Of this question, aud II we could get these
views presented TO the whole northern mind,

A Paris correspondent of the New York Er-
press refers to reports which have been in cir
culation in the United States that Judge Ma
sons health is precarious, his faculties decin-
ing, and that he and his secretary ought TO be
removed from their posts. These reports are
contradicted by the correspondent of the Err
press, who says that "Judge Mason is, at this
moment, and has been for many months, in the
enjoyment Of as robust health as any man whe
is hearty, healthy and temperate can possibly
be. His faculties are as brilliant and uncoud
ed as they we're when he was an important and
distinguished member of President Folks cabi
net. He is to-day the first and abest of our
representatives in Europe, and when the time
comes for the publication of his dispatches to
his government, the country will undoubtedly
find that the Minister who has been darkly
limited at as on the brink Of insansity, has ably
discharged the duties con6ded to his hands,
and added to the respect and esteem of the
first nation on continental Europe for the
Great Republic Of America.
"1t is abominable to set afoat such injuri
Gus stories as have been published in refer
ence TO our excellent minister There never
existed q nobler or a kinder nature. In his
personal intercourse with his fellow-country-
men, none have failed to mark the inexbausti-
BILE amiability which always characterized him.
To the needy and unfortunate, he has been
and is friend, in more than a full acceptatisn
Of the word. Judge Mason, though fully alive
to the just dignity of his position, and perfectly
capable Of sustaining it in all respects, is uni
versally beloved for his affability. he will pro-
badly return to the United States next spring.
When he does so you viii see who is right or
who is wrong. With regard to Mr.. Wise, Sec
rotary Of Legation, need only say that he is
young mai Of fine talents and amiabe de-
pertinent, who has in a very short time made
many warm and lasting friends in Paris.n

General Nye, one Of the leaders Of the Seward
Abolition Know.nothing oongomerstion Of fac
tons, known BY the name Of Black Republi-
cansm, DECLARED in one of bis eleciioneering
harangues recently, that he would "join hands
with the devil in opposition TO Democracy"
No doubt he would. We believe he honestly
meant to speak the truth, when he made that
declaration. And We have no doubt but that
the devil grinned with fendish delight, as he
welcomed his new ally to participate in the
demoniacal work of dissolying the Union. They
are hopeful co-workers in the same cause. The
proyerb is verifed-"birds Of feather flock
together" This, is seems, is the sealed deter
mination of the whole Black Republican army
of disunionists-to join hands with anybody,
anything, human or Internal, that can possibly
aid them in accomplishing their abominable
-Rennsylcanian.

Another significant Sign.

1t should not fail to be remembered that the
notorious Gen. James Watson Webb, rather
famous for his $4,000 transaction with the
United States Bank, on his mahogany stock
and barrel" demonstration at Washington city,
declared in the Black Republican Convention
which nominated Fremont for the Presidency,
that if they failed at the ballot-box, he would
drire back the sldce-ocracy, sgord IN hand,
and so help me Godi believing that to be right,
I am Nth them" This vile incendiarism and
treason, the newspapers tell us, was read with
loud cheers and cries Of "Good" by the mass
of disorganizers then and there assembled
Here is an open avowal Of treason and civil
war, and the infamous threat is accompanied
with a blasphemous oath, which is loudly up.
plauded by the men who put Col. Fremont in
nomination for the Presidency. The conven-
ton adopted this language it their own.
1t has not been repudiated in any quarter, dis
approved by any individual member Of the
fanatical factions opposed to the Democracy.
The Black Republicans have thus adopted the
alternative-either the election of Fremont or
civil warl Friends of law and order on which
side do you intend to rally?

!. II is no matter Of trifing consideration and
importance that those who know q man best
should eulogize him most. More especially is
praise to be valued when it is extorted from .
political opponent The Lancaster (Pennsyl-
vanian) Express, Know-nothng Republican
paper, published in the immediate neighbor-
hood Of Mr.. Buchanan's residence, is com
PEELED to bear testimony to his unbending in
tegrity and blameless life. After few intro
ductory remarks, the editor proceeds and says
We know the man as one of our most re-
spected iellow-citizens; gentleman OF I'M
blemished personal integrity and unusually
agreeable manners in his social intercourse
with all classes. We know him as the friend
OF the poor, as perpetual benefactor Of the
poor widows of this city, who, when the piercing
blasts Of each successive blasts of winter brought
| shrieks of cold and hunger, and want, in the
frail tenements of poverty, could apply to the
Buchanan Relief Donation" for their annual
supply Of wood, and sitting down with their
orphaned children in the cheerful warmth Of
blazing fire, lift their hearts in silent gratitude
to God, and teach their little ones to bless the
name Of James Buchanan. AS citizen, a
neighbor, friend, in word, as simply james
Buchanan, we yield to no man in The measure
Of our respect and esteem, and were he still
before Us as simply James Buchanan, as he
was few years, and he and we occupied the
same broad Jefersonian republican platform,
when at least one of the editors Of this paper
voted with him year after year the same Demo
cratic ticket, then ours would be the more
pleasing duty of supporting instead Of opposing
the election of our esteemed fellow.citzen and
neighbor to the highest Office in the gift Of the
American people, and the highest position of
political distinction in the world.

Mr.. Buchanan once said that if he believed
he had bit of Democratic blood in his veins
he would open them and let it out. That Mr..
Buchanan made this declaration there is no
doubt-Rochester Democrat.
"There is no doubt that the writer of the
above, deliberately penned it fully believing it
to be caluminous and false. The Tribune, of
Saturday, distinctly discredits the story; the
Democrat, of Monday, reproduces it. Mr.. Buch-
anan has said, under his own hand, and in the
most positive manner; "This ridiculous story
is without shadop Of foundation. I noc
pronouncs 1t 10 be utterly and absolutely false,
no matter from ,ohat source IL may haze pro-
ceeded or shall proceed"
Thirty old citizens of Lancaster, many Of
whom say they have known Mr.. Buchanan from
boyhood, certify that the story is false, and that
it was never heard Of till thirteen years after
the date assigned to it. No intelligent man
believes it-no intelligent man can believe it.

THE SUM NER AFFAIR.

Yesterday was the day set apart, in the
Criminal Court for the trial of the Hon. p. 8.
Brooks, charged with an assault and battery on
the Hon. Charles Sumner; but the immense
throng Of Spectators were disappointed by the
announcement Of the discharge Of witnesses
until further notice. The reason for this was,
alleged, the continued indisposition of the
complainant. 1t is almost time that the farce
was ended.

The Black Republicans tried hard to get up
9 on:tusion ratification meeting in the city Of
New York, on Wednesday evening, says the
Psnnsyluanian, and partially succeeded The
speeches were not equal to the usual average,
but the noise and disorder was far beyond what
might reasonably have been anticipated. After
the speakers had exhausted their ideas and the
patience Of the people, a procession was formed
and the crowd marched up to the residence of
Colonel Fremont, in Ninth street. This enter.
prising explorer was called out, to make
speech. He said Gentlemen, thank you,"

ton was substituted for enthusiasm This will
