platform embraces Sta,e.Rights doctrine to the

its members to be united; If we are bnt true to

may defy the combined efforts of AboIitonsm,
&c,
The first we hear of Southern party, was
just after the election TO the Presidency, of
James Buchanan; the first public notice Of ne

was the first Southern sectional candidate''
ever before nominated by The Democracy and
cirally by those entertaining ultra Southern
sentiments" Now it wonld be very natural
TO infer from such language that Know Moth

afraid that the "BuchauitcS" South were com
posed Of the much dreaded Southern Rights
men. But, 10. in two short months, how
things change! These very men who were so
strongly opposed TO what they denounced as
Southern Sccionalism" almost in the very
same breath, acknowledge its necessity. Bah,
we need no southern party, no American par

uphold Constitution guaranteeing 10 the most
humble citizen and to each State their own
legitimate rights The Democratic party does
this: need we ask more

TIE DRIED SCOTT CASE.

] he cultOf Oh the llNllIS'lIlt ala.) Demo
crat, who was present in the Supreme Court
room when the opinions Of the Judges were
rendered in this case, refers to an important
decision Of Lord Stowell IN England, and n
correspondence between Lord ). aud Judge
Story touching its point, m extract from which
was read by Mr. Justice Nelson in the opinion
rendered by him. This correspondence repre-
sentS Judge Story as entirely concurring with
Lord Stowcll with reference 10 the temporary
soourn on sol! where slavery is not recognised
by the laws Of slave residing elsewhere We
make the following extract from the article Of
the Democrat.
I'VE were very much pleased with the opn-
ion Of In!ge Nelson, Of New York. rs well for
is legal ability and lucid style as the boldness
with which he, u northern man and citizen of
a hIack,rcpublioan State, handled the subject
Of slavery. and pronounced views adverse to
the prcdudccs and sentiments Of his section,
lie quoted an extract from II letter of Judge
Story to Lord Stowc in reply to u letter Of
the latter sending his decision in case similar
to the bred Scott case, which completely takes
the wind ont of the sails Of ihc black-repnbli-
cans of Boston, where Judge Story resided,
and, doubtless proves n diSagrcable surprise to
HloNI VI VI IN. ibl ~ liNN'iliN l'Abl. 'E'N'
Curtis. 1t seems that Judge Story was accls-
toned to write at least once year TO Lord
Stowell, sending him copy Of his judicial de-
ciSions which the latter rrciproratcd At
length ease arose in The English court (of
which Lord Stowcll was chief JUSTICE where
Jamaica slave was carried by his master 10
England for temporary residence, and waS sub
scQucnty taken back oJamaca, and he brought
suit for his freedom, and the inferior court de-
cidcd against his right to freedom, and in the
appellate court Lord Stowcll, in behalf Of Il
majority Of the court affirmed the Judgment
below. Lord StowclI sent his decision to
Judge Story, who delayed replying so long that
Lord S. again wrote to him, expressing regret
at not receiving IL reply, and hope that their
pleasant correspondence, OF so many years
standing, would not cease, Judge Story then
replied, expressing his entire approval Of Lord
Stowes decision and the Judgment Of the
court, and adding that, if n similar case should
present itself to him, he would give similar
decision. This opinion Of Judge Story, being
extra,judicial, is, of course, not authorltat We;
but, as the opinion OF a man pre-emnant! asa
Judge and legal writer, it is entitled to great
weight, and will, and no donbt, have its inilu-
cnce in correcting public opiuion at the North,
parteulaly in Boston, if blind fanaticism does
not completely ignore the memory his virtues,
talents, and learning"

Jadge ~ ~ Remoids.- Hon. d. Augustin
aud others, legal voters of the Parish of Orleans

District Court of New Orleans, vs. III. 3. Egg
glcston, Esq,
In this suit Judge Augustin contends that
until his successor be duly commissioned and
qualified, and further, that the late election is
null and void, as having been held contrary to
law OIL the following grounds:
lst. That the Act "rclative to elections in
the Parish of Orleans" passed and approved
March Is. 1857, virtually repealed the laws
under which the Common Council appointed
commissioners, and fixed polls for the election
Of Judges recently held, and that the said cleo
ton was held according to the said law o.
1851
3D. That the grogshops of the city were
kept open on the day of election. and
That the ballot boxes were kept concealed be-
hind high barbados during the day of cleo.
ton.
3D. That nearly two thirds of the registered
voters of the city were deferred from exercising
Their prcrogativc, and that it was the general
opinion that the election was null and void,
because it was held in direct contraycntion OF
statute then in force.
Finally, that tile above grounds Of nnlity
were duly made known. within the legal delay
and as required by law, to the said ii. b. Eg.
glcston Esq, the contestant.
Besides the signature of the Hon Judge Au-
gaStin, the petition has twenty three others. 1t
admits that Mr. Egelcston, according to the
returns, has moiority of the votes cast at the
said election but it prays that the same shall
be declared null and void and that Il new one
shall be held in conformity to the requirements
of law. James Augustin, Esq, is council for
the petitioner.
The case will come up Of course, before

Judge Reynolds in this court and rs he is inter
ested will be disqualified from rcnderinga deci.
