Whether Coz. MARCY shall or shall not be retained
as Secretary Of Sta'e under Mr.. Buchanan is a
question earnes ly debated in quarters which are
likely to exert considerable influence over the in
coming Administration. We-having only the gen.
raj interest Of citizens in the subject, aud neither
claiming nor expecting to exert any influence in the
premises-yet say that the utility and importance
Of Gov. Marcys retention depend entirely on the
views and stipuaticps with which such retention
shall be sought, il sought at all. That Gov Marcy
is a statesman of decided ability and eminently
qualified, by experience as well as talent, for the
position be low holds, is very general conviction,
to which We do not demur. His continuance in
tie State Department is very generally desired by
the money ed, commercial, conservative classes, and
would be hailed by them with lively satisfaction,

TIE Ntr- Orleans Delta is taking the position Of
leader of opinion in the Slave States, and it meets
the responsibility of such an Office with ability aud
franbness. Thus it argues boldly for the reestab
lisbment of the African save-trade:
AS to the morality of the slave trade that present,
no difficulty than the question of Slavery ITSELF
One IL involved in the other. Slavery must DO defend
ed in its integ,yn its origin ia its sutentstion in
its perpetuity-or its deeose should be abandoned:
We can zee no other ground for logical and candid
mind. If il was wrong in its origin, is wrong la its
perpctuaton. But if il right on the contrary, to
in'roduce tiff good consequences to both white and
black ard 10 the material interests Of the c)uatry,
have flowed from is introduction-tben it Is Just aud
benefct nj to noursh nvigorate and perpetuate it. IL
the latter is the correct vew as 1t must be 10 make
Slavery de'tnsb'e, the African savctrade ceases 10
be question OF morality, and becomes one solely OF
expediency; and therefore, the South has rgh to an
increase OF slave labor long US there an increasing
deman d for it,"
For cur part we candidly admit that The Delta
reasons Justly. If there is any ground of principle
upon which man who voted for Buchanan can
resist the reopening Of the save-trade, we fail to
see it, and shall be exceedingly obliged to any one
who will point it out.

HORRIBLE TRAGEDY.-We are called upon tbs

that ever occurred in this State On Thursday nignt
the 30th ult, Mr.. VIM. Pearce resling about hye
miles from this place, while he was eating suoper, tod
ono Of his negro men, who had been guilty OF some
nsdemeanCr that as as he was through he would
give him hogging. Acco DINGHY when he got up
fom the table, he went out into the back yard aud
called the fellow out of the kitchen, aud told him to
come TO him. Manifestpg great deal Of submission,
be OBEY cd; but so coon he got within striking dis
lance drew an axe, and split in twain the hea. Of his
master scattering the brains in every direction. We
are not aware he survived minute. The negro in
stabfly fed, and up to this time Friday noon has not
been captured. Mr. Pearce a good citizen a kind
iusbsnd, father, and master, and wa, beloved by all
who knew him. this, his melancholy fate, has cast a
pail of gloom over our whole community. The negro
beyond doubt, will be captured before many hours

Of them htely saves could sand the least pssio'e
chance Of anything like justice At tho hands o.,
SOuth CarOliua Court and Jury .

Of them lstey slaves, could sand the least 'sso's
chance Of anything like justice At tho hands o,
South Carolina Court and Jury
The case, il appears, has since BEEN tried, and
has resulted just as might have been scted. In
fact, the jury, who were called upon to d,eide on
the validity Of the will, discovered no less than
three grounds for setting it asde-irst that it had
been procured BY fraud; secondly that the testatcr
was issane; and thirdly, that the will WAS against
the policy of the State. We have report of the
testimony On the frst two points. Probably the
jury thought no testimony was needed to establish
both fraud and il sanity beyond the bare circum-
stance that man should have taken it into his
head that be could possibly owe sny of the duties
Of a father to children born Of slave mother.
Indeed, they were probably of opinion that not
even crazy man could have bit upon 80 absurd
an idea unless he had been deuded into il BY some
fraud p1aciiced upon him. In South Carolios,
reasoning like this would be thought absolutely
impregnable-not only enough to convict the
teststor of insanity and to prove him to have
been the victim Of fraud without any further
evidence of those particular facts, but even against
the strongest evider ce of sanity and of voluntary
and deliberate action But, to make assurance
doubly sure, the will was against the policy of the
law, which not only does not tolerate the recognl-
ton of cOlOred persons as the children of white
men, but sets its face like flint against the eman-
cpatiOn of slaves.
Fifty years sgo or less, the policy Of the law, at
least in some of the States, strongly in favor of
emancipation. In those times, colored man, even
though held as slave, might expect justice even
from slaveholdiog jury. In those days, such law.
yers as Writ and Pirckney engaged with zeal, and
often with success in prosecuting claims to free
dom. We hear of no such cases now, except now |
and then one in Louisiana. At present under the |
influence of the idea of the perpetuity of Slavery,
this policy is totally changed, and when the statute
law fails, Courts and Jures are ever ready
TO step in and to tread with an iron heel on the
necks ofcOored women and children, and, 80 far as
they can, to crush them back into bondage. The
next we shall hear of this case will probably be,
that the mother and children, sworn to slaves, ana
that testimony certified under the Fugitive Slave
act, have been delivered up by some slave-catching
Commissioner to the heirs at law, on the ground
that, having been brought into Ohio by crazy man,
who had been fraudulentg deluded into it, they
could not thereby acquire any claim to freedom.

Many Of our readers will probably reconect tn
case Of which mention was some time since mad;
in the newspapers, of Mr.. Willis, man Of large
property and the father of large family Of muatto
children by slave mother. Wishing to act the
psrt of father TO those children, this Mr. Willis
makes will be Iueathing all bis property, or the
larger part Of il, to them and their mother; and
since he could not emancipate them in South Car
olns in order to insure their freedom he took the
whole family with him to Cincinnati, where be fell
dead from spCplexy or some other disease just at
the Nom mt Of leaving the steamboat. Thus de.
priyed of their protector, the mother and
children we're in great danger Of being
dragged back into Slavery by the officers
of the boat, who seemed to imagine thai, If they
wee not carried back and Delivered as slaves
to the heirs at law the boat might be held respon-
sible for tLeir market value. They were rescued,
however, from this danger, and soon after, the ex-
ecuior named in the will proceeded to South Caro-
Ina to take pCss, ssion Of the property. Before his
arrival, be Was threatened with Lynch-!aw in Gaze

The process Of subduing Freedom is going on
bravely in Kansas. Twenty Free-State men,
charged with the enormous crime of taking up arms
against gang of rufians, of the OutpOsts of an
army marching on Lawrence with the avOwed in
tentiOn of destrOyngt, have-without any evidence,
however, even of that tact-been found guilty OF
mansIauehter and sentenced by Judge LecOmpte
TO five years imprisonment at hard labor, which,
under the Bogus laws, is to be performed with
bal and chain to the leg upon the public works.
In the mean time, this eminent professor Of Bor-
er.Rufan justice as tito assure bis fellow Border
Rufians of perfect mpunity, dismisses, on the bail
bosd of the notorious Jones, man guilty of an in
famous and most cowardly and cruel murder, under
the very eye, as it were, of Governor Geary HIM
self, be ng no less than the deliberate and wanton
sEoo'iDg of a cripple because he objected to
have his horse stolen. Geary, it seems, I'M
willing TO allow such a bold outrage upon
his authority to GO UNPUBLISHED, and to show
that the Border Rufiians were not absolutely
masters OF the Territory, had at considera-
bic trouble and expense caused this man to be
arrested and brought to Lecompton where the
Grand jury had found true bill against him;
whereupon the Chef.Justice steps in and dismisses
him on bail; in other words sets him free and lets
bin run.
An account OF this affair and of the effect
of the news of it upon Gov Geary to whom it
was cOmmunica. led at the very moment that he was
Boosting Of the arrest of this murderer as proof of
bis determine alton to do equal justice is given in
a curious and interesting letter from an eye
and ear witness, TO be found in another column.
II would seem from this letter that, if the Gov
error does not cave n there is danger Of conflict
of authority between him, az Governor Of the Ter
ritory and Lecompte as Chief Justice of the Bor-
der Ruffisns. That tran saction, iswould seem,
beginning to open his eyes as to the real state of
things in the Territory. and the scaudalOus abuse
of the Judicial authority to punish Free-State men
for defending themselves, while the wanton Border
Ruffian murderers, even when arrested, which
very few of them are, are Immediately set free-as
Emory, the leader of the Leayenworth Outrages,
was the other day-Op straw bail, and are thus en-
abed TO snap their fingers in the face OF Governor
Gea,y, ss well as of the Free, State men.
This collision between the Governor and the
Chief Justice is very interesting affair. At least,
it will test what the Governor is made Of and
whether be has the break in him to stand up,
under any circumstances, against the Border Raf-
faIs. We fear, However, he will back down.
Fr,m what he let drop about the danger Of removal,
lie evidently regards the administration at Wash
iDgton as wholly under Border Ruffian Influence.

According to The Times Of Philadelphia, there
has been quarrel between Mr. Buchanan and the
fllbusters aud crazier sort Of Slavery Extension
lists. He hasn't the pluck to carry out the plat
form after all; and Wise, Douglas and Slidel left
Wheatland in disgust on Tuesday, refusing even to
eat Thanksgiving duner with the Old gentleman.
What queer thing it would be if these fire-eaters
were to drive him over to the Republican party !
We warn him, however, that, even if he does come
to us, be cant be our candidate for 1860 We
shall probably be able to fed a better man-one
about whose politics there will be no doubt after
election, either in the minds of friends or foes.

The recent fitting out of vessel by the Patent
Office, and her departure on voyage after sugar
cane cuttings with which to reinvigorate the decay
ing sugar culture Of the South, has elected consider
able inquiry by the public press as to the authority
for this kind Of expenditure of the public money.
The answer by the Government organs has been
that the present Congress, at its recent session,
made the appropriation for that purpose; and
though i. W As truthfully remarked by The Ereniag
Post and other papers that no one had ever before
heard of it, yet it was conceded that it must have
been authorized by some provision, hurried!y run
through, without attracting public attention, and
thus escaping public criticism. We were not.
however, entirely satisfied with this hypothesis;
and, having conversed with some members of Con-
eress recently in this city, We find the following to
be the facts:
Mr.. Holloway of Indiana, frem the Committee Of
Agriculture, proposed to increase the annual appro-
priation by Congress for seeds cuttings, new
varieties of grains and grasses to be distributed By
the Patent Office, up to $4,000. The Congressional
debates show that the motion was opposed, and tho
seed distribution ridiculed as humbug by number
of Southern gentlemen, conspicuous amongst whom
were Humphrey Marshall, of Kentucky, and
Seward, of Georgia. 1t vas earnestly defended BY
Holloway, Benson, of Maine, and other Northerners.
ani was passed "a majority of Southern men voting
No, and a majority of Northern men voting Ay.
Not word was uttered in the debates intimating
that it was to be used for fitting out vessel add
sending it out for article which is grown only in
an extreme corner of the country; but the result
speaks for itself.
