DIR. Chcevcr on the supreme Cour,.

Dr. Chccvcr preached sermon last cye-
ming to an immense audience, on the recent
decision of the Supreme Court from the.
text, "Cursed be he that pcrverting the iudQ-
ment Of the stranger" He considered the
contrast between our treatment of the Af-
rlcan race and the treatment prescribed by
God, the condition 10 which this decision
reduced them, its wickednesS in the light of
law, human and divine, the dreadful infu-
ence of that example, its entire nuIIity as
to obey it, and finally our obligation before,
God to do away with iniquity. He dwelt
upon the Jesuetical sophistry of the decision,
which he stigmatizcd as sths horrible hand
book of tyranny" He thought il fitting that
the Judge who pronounced it should not be.
Protestant; 1t was of II piece with that re-
llgion whose habit was to mathematics
and persecuto. The world had waited
5000 years to see this indiscribable assas-
sination of whole race. The part Of Cain.
had been enacted on tremendous scale.
but, as in other murders the great difficulty
was to get rid of the body. He noticed
the pestilence Mt Washington, and said if
they treated men like rats they must ex-
pect to be poisoned by them. He reviewed
the points of Judge Taney's decision. If
it were fully carried out, he said, an African
could be appropriated, if found running at
large, just as lump of gold could be if
found by the roadside, aud already in Vir-
ginia it had been proposed to sell the free.
negros to pay the State debt This terri
bic preversion of the Constitution laws the
Judge open to impeachment for his daring
attempt to destroy the foundations of the
Republic. He called upon the insuIted
majesty of the churches unitedly to repro
bate the dreadful wrong of these Border
Ruffian Judges.--Tri5une.

Nrinnesota InteIlIgence.

The Minneapolis Democrat has long ar
ticle upon the soil and climate of Minnesota
from which VIC should judge the Territory
I to embrace as fine region of country as
can be found out of doors. In describing
Paynesville, the Democrat says:
This place, lying between Grand Bois
and Corteau de Prairie, furnishes one Of
the best opportunities in the Territory to
make timber or prairie claims-of rich
sandy loan with clay subsoil. Cedar Is
land Lake, a beautiful sheet Of water, with,
gravel shore, lies contiguous to the town,
containing an Island of valuable cedar tim

sight, on either side, woods may be seen, TO-
shelter from the waters, whilst all around.

Who wakes The Law.

The Supreme Court of the United States,
which decided the Missouri Compromise to
be unconstitutional; which denies power to
Congress over Slavery in the Territories
and declared that drop of negro blood
throws human being ont of the pale OF
citizenship of the only true Republic on
earth; is composed of nine members. Five
of course are a majority. Five are slave
holders, and in fact represent but 100000
out of more than twenty millions, while
the four arc from free States. The Free
population, living in the judicial circuits Of
these five, number 6,4l2 2,503. The free pop
ulation living in the judicial circuits of the
four in the minority, number l3,434, 79S
Yet the former force laws upon the latter.
The people in the circuits of these five
Judges, send 90 Representatives to Con
gress. Tho people in the circuits of the
four Judges send l44 Representatives. In
making up this 90, five ncgroes--who are
nobody-count as three white men.
The States comprising the Districts Of
the five Judges, have 100 electoral votes
The States comprising the Districts of the
four Judges, have 176 electoral votes.
Will the Freemon of the North longer
submit to the tyranny of the $4,000 slave
holdersl The Albany Journal in speak
ing of the Court SAYS:
Originally there were three Northern and
three Southern Judges. But the South soon
got the bigger share of the black robes, and
kept them. OF the thirty-eight who have
sat there in Judgment, twenty-five were nur-
tured "on plantation" The Slave States
have been masters of the Court fifty-seven
years, the Free States but elevenl The
Free States have had the majority only sew
on years, this century. Even the Free
State Judges are chosen from Slavery ex-
tending parties. President nominates and
Senate will confirm none other Three
times new Judgship has been created, and
every time it has been filled with slave
holder.

The spirit OF Ch,vo,rv.

Governor Aiken, Of South Carolina, who
owns moro slaves than any other man in
the country, is, in his dealings with white
folks at least, a gentleman. When, after
that long and and memorable struggle for
the spcakership, Mr.. Banks was elected, and
there was a disposition to indulge in factious
opposition to the result, Gov Aiken rose
and terminated all dispute by asking the
privilege Of conducting the successful can
didate to the chair. At the close of the
session, he offered resolution of thanks to
the man who had so well performed his du-
ties. As Gov. Aiken was n candidate for
the spoakcrship, the first act was one of
manly magnanimity; as Mr.. Banks did his
duty, the last was one of manly acknowl-
! edgment But he acted above the home
standard. In South Carolina, they bless
the bully and curse the gentleman. They
treat brutality TO ovations, and spurn tho
hand that offers civility to political foe
Witness few extracts from the South Car.
olina Times upon the last act of courtesy o
Mr. Aiken:
To say that we are mortiied-deeply
mortified, would be to give but feeble ex
preston to the emotion it has excited. Il
is source of profound humiliation-o
deep predominant shame-of humiliation
when we reflect that one whose public char
acter and private virtues we appreciate and
respect so much, could so far forget what
was due to his own exalted character, even
though for moment as to stoop to the
low level of this arch enemy of all his
State aud people hold most dcar--and OF
shame from n profound conviction Of tho
utter unworthness of the object thus dis
tinguished by this single act of favor.
Mr. Speaker Banks, we repeat, is one O
the chosen, trusty leaders of the black Re
publican party By them, that is, the black
Republicans, he was selected to fill the chail
he occupies-and elected over Mr.. Aiken
and others. His sentiments-his principles
of action, in common with his party, arc
those of the incendiary--tho sentiments
and the principles of those who would fire
your dwelling-would murder your wife
and childrcn-would plunder your property
would rob you of all you had! Mr.. Speak
er Banks would sacrfice-would consign t
hopeless ruin, an entire half of the Union
to insure the triumph of his principles anc
party-tho party of pandimonium--thc
principles of demon! Mr. Speaker Bank
openly avows opinions that lead direct
} and lead inevitably to insurrcction, rapin
and murder He boldly proclaims himsel
an enemy to the South-to the institution
{ of the South. Mr.. Speaker Banks ha
identified himself with party which re
pudiates the constitution, and unblushingl
proclaims 'higher law" than the instrr

An Incident for Mrs. stowe--"Liberty or


The Nashville Banner, of March 2oth,.
contains the following:
"The particulars of one of the most un-
suicides have come to our knowl-
edge. Two servants of Mr.. Jones' proprie-
tor of Union Hall, in this city, one vel
low man named Levi, and the other black,
named Allen, ran away on Sunday night
last. 1t appears that they intended to get
on the night train for Chattanooga, but ar
rived moment too late. They took the
track on foot and proceeded few miles, se-
crcting themselves until Monday night in a
thcket. They then appeared at Antioch
when the night train came along, and the
yellow man purchased tickets for himself
and servant for Chattanooga. The trick
was not detected-Leyi passed as white
man, and took his supper at the same table
with the other passengers, ordering food for
his servant at a side table. The attention
of MIR. Charles Fox, merchant of this city,
who was on board, on his way to New York,
was attracted to Levi, and after little scru-
tiny, he recognized him though disguised in.
fine suit of clothes. Mr. Fox, on Tuesday
morning, before reaching Chattanooga,
questioned Levi, and becoming satisfied that
he was running away, collared him and in
timated that he was a prisoner. Levi was
wrapped in blanket, and he managed to
draw pistol from his breast without the
movement being noticed, and turning the
muzzle upon his abdomen, fired and fell on
his seat. Mr.. Fox and other passengers
fled in an opposite direction, under the i'm
preston that he was firing at them, and
when they turned back he had drawn a bow
ie-knife and cut his throat, and was corpse"
J The Banner adds:
"Levi was an excellent servant, always
obedient and tractable, and unusually intel
ligent,' and thinks he would not have left
his master without some strong inducements.

Tbe A-sembIy ana she suprms c.uye. !.

The Assembly ana tho suprrns oours.
When the news came Of the decision Of
the Supreme Court in the Dfed Scott cl.se,
last week, Judge Foote proposod Resolw-
ton IN the Assembly, calling for Joint
Committee Of three Senators and FIVE As
semblymen, 10 examine what action. IL any.
it bchovcs the State Of New York TO take.
to protect the constitutional rights Of her
citizens. Last Saturday il came up for do.
bate, and was eloquently advocated by
Mcssrs Baker, Hogeboom, Wakeman. B.
Owen, Foot, Lcayenworth, HYDE, Tallett,
Feorge Pomeroy and Puher. These gen.
tleinen represent nearly every section Of the
State. Five voices only were raised in OPP
position--those Of course all "Democratic,v
and all but one from the city Of New York.
The advocates Of the resolution stand upon
the old and well-established doctrine that
all rights not ceded to the General Govern
meDt are reserved TO the States, and that 10
is both the right and the duty of each
State to maintain them within their limits.
The opponents are forced, less by their own
fault, than by party cxigcncics, into the
somewhat contradictory positions, that while
the Slavery question should be settled by
each locality for ITSELF it is treason for his
locality TO try to settle il for itself;-that
the Federal Government has no power to
keep Slavery out of the Territories, though
il has power to force it into the States =
that the recent decision will stand the test
Of the severest examination, but neverthe.
less exceedingly dangerous and ilnpolitie %

Resolution was adopted with only "a dis
senting votes.-Albony Journal

An Anti-Slavery Ticket In st. Louis.

The noble and valorous friends of freedom
in Missouri are deserving of all commenda-
ton and praisc-deserving because they
have every conceivable difficulty to contend
with, and in carrying out their principles
are compelled to "beard the lion in his den"
The Benton branch of the ST. Louis De-
mocracy met in convention in that city, Sat
urday last, and nominated city, which the
Leader, Republican, and other Pro-Slavery
prints denominated the "Free Nigger tick
ct" because the gentlemen whose names
are upon it, and of course those who rally
to its support, are in favor of "gradual eman-
cipation" in Missouri. That this ticket will
prevail, notwithstanding the prejudices ex-
cited against it by the use of offensive cpl
thets, there is great probability. The an
nexed resolutions were adopted by the con-
vention. The Democrat saws:
| The Committee on Resolutions reported
the following, which were adopeA by ac-
clamation:
WHEREAS, The pro-slavery party of this
State, calling themselves National Demo-
Gratis, by their course in the last session of
the Legislature, renewed the agitation OF
the slavery question, and forced the eman-
cipation question upon the people; and
whereas, the Democracy Of this city deem
this fit opportunity TO declare their scnt
ments, in regard to this question; threfore
be it
ResolVed, That we heartily endorse the
course of our delegates in the last Legisla
ture.
RESOLVED, That the gradual emancipation
of slavery in the State of Missouri, in the
opinion of this convention is an open ques
ton, and one of vital Importance to the peo
pie of this State; that we disapprove of the
resolutions on this subject, introduced by
Mr.. Carr in the Legislature during its last
session, as an attempt to gag the free cx-
preston of opinions upon tho freedom Of
speech and of the press.
ResOiVed, That the Constitution of this
State provides that slaves may be emanei-
pated by the consent Of the owners, by
making compensation for the same--and
that gradual emancipation, upon the terms
provided in the Constitution is neither sim.
practicable, unwise or unjust" if it shall ap-
pear to be for the best interests of the peo-
pie of this State; and the only mode Of as
certaining this important fact is by full and
aud free discussion of the entire system.
The convention then proceeded to nomi.
nate candidates, when the following were
nominated by acclamation:
For Mayor, John NJ. Winner; Comptrol-
Ter, John II. Lightner; Register, Joel G..
Harper; Auditor, James Waugh; Treasurer,
Charles w. Gottsehark.
The fight promises to be exceedingly bit.
ter; and owing to the emancipation platform
boldly put forth, by party known TO be
formidable in all cases in st. Louis, and
just now dominant in that city, its progress
will be watched, and the result regarded
with deep interest by the whole country.
