Supreme Court Decision.

We wonld call particular attention to the annexed
decision Of the Supreme Court II IL not only in
unrd to this case Involving IL does the penal dn-
rance Of the slave Harrison but raising the more i'm
rortant question, how far many Of our laws are IN
constitutional. When this appeal was made by our
f"llow-townsman. the Hon. John Mcvca. from the
rendered dscison of the magistrates and the jury.
there was great doubt in the minds of many mem
bcrs of the bar whether the appeal taken in the case
would be sustained.
\ long time has elapsed since this appeal has been
taken, AMI We particularly refer to il as doing a
proper and deserved need Of justice to the legal
acumen Of the gentleman who has 50 successfully
lrosccutcd this TO IL final isrue.
SUPREME Cornr Decision -Nondoy Dersm-
her 8, 1856 buchanan, Associate Justice
The State Of Louisiana appellee, Us. Harrison,
a slave, appellant
Harrison was tried before tribunal, con.
sisting of two Justices of the Peace, and ten
owners Of slaves for killing another slave; he
was found guilty and sentenced to imprisonment
for life; the trial was had under the act Of ST.
Of March, 1855, which was IN act relative to
slaves and free colorcd persons" Appellant
commended that this net was unconStiutn al
uasmuch asst violated that article Of the State
Constitution, which declares that every INV
passed by the Legislature shall embrace but
one object, and that shall be expressed IN the
title. The ma ority Of court in IN elaborate
analysis Of the act Of March, '55, which con.
tains one hundred sections, shows that its Oh.
jccls are mulifnronS, and that its title cor
tains but two Of those Objects; and thus hey
established the lrs, ground Of the unconsitri-
tionality of the act of 80 The second is mo-"
important, and refers TO the distinction be-
tween slaves and free colorcd persons; two
classes" say the court, which it is impossible"
to confound in legal parlance; for in tie eye Of
the Louisiana law there is, with the exception
Of political rights, certain social privileges AMI
of the obligations Of jury and MALTA service,
all the diff, renee between u free Inan Of color
and slave that there is between white man
and II slave. \ free man Of ro'Or can contract,
can acquire by inheritance and transmit prop
crty by will, is competent witness in all ely !
suits aud for crimes aud offences is 10 be tfcd
with the same iornmIilcS and by the same tri-
bnnal rs the white man, On the contrary,
the slave is dcbarrcd by law from any of these
privilege. After poIntlng out these Il ir'n
crS between these two classes Of persons, the
Conrr declares them 10 DC twod fl rent objects
IN IA Il therefor the act Of March, Sjj, in
aSmnrh as it includes both in its provisions
and NOR. over does not express III IL title all
the objects Of winch it treats is void for mn

\ CEErAIN CrRE EoR A FELoN.---We are
sure that all who have suffered from II genuine
bone fcou will thank us for making public SO
simple and yet SO cilcrtual remedy rs the fol-
lowing In thousands Of instances, weeks,
and months of the most intense suffering have
been endured, allowing of neither rest by day
nor sleep by night, and when cure is at last
effected, the finger or thumb is often dclormed
for life. AS soon as it is apparent that felon
is making its appearance, which is known by II
continual soreness and pain proceeding from
the bone, and sometimes evincing but little
change for the worse for week or two, take
strong cord of any kind and wrap it around
the fling +, above the affected part as tightly
as can be borne. Keep it in this condition
until the pain can be endured no longer Now
loose the cord and as soon as the pain caused
by the cording subsidies, tighten it again. Con-
tinuc this for several days or until the ielon is
completely bIackcned and killed We have
known several persons who had been afflicted
with elons, to try this remedy with success;
in fact we have never known it to fail. The
oording stops the circulation, and thus the sore
has nothing to feed on, and soon dies OF star
walton. We have faith in this remedy even
after the fclon has made considerable progress
I-EIch1nge.

Within year or two, since the advent of Sam, !"
the Democrats have been defeated 10 every Northern
State almost, and the victories the party OF the
administration paraded as K N. triumphs, and as
proofs of the invincibilty OF Sam" Virginia broke
that prestige, and the South followed suit with the
two exceptions of Kentucky and Maryland Well,
now, Congress has assembled and the fruits OF
Sams' invlncibiIity at the North are apparent
the fruits of the very victories over which his organs
at the South jubilated. 1t was glorious fun TO re-
ioce over the defeats sustained by the Democrats
was mighty nice to talk of the victories OF the IN
vncible SAM" but when the character of these
victories is shown by the avowed opinions and
known conduct of the victors in the House of Repre-
senatives the tune is changed and the responsibility
attempted to be shufHed Off 1t is true, Connecticut,
and New Hampshire, and Vermont, and Massachu-
setts etc, etc. were all claimed as for SAM" but
wheA Sans" men, so triumphing in these States
show themselves TO be bitter Abolitionists then Sam
is not at all responsible. What sort OF course IS
this What does it amount to- Either Sans
Southern organs rejoiced over Abolition victories OF
they did not If they did, nothing need be said
IF they did not if the victories were in truth Kno"
Nothing or American they call them, then the
persons elected must really and truly represent that
party at the North, and it is nonsense to say that
