what Whiggery was in 1850.

The Albany Argus has uncarthed the
following resolution, which, according
to the Albany Evening Journal, was
adopted by the State convention of its
political friends in 1850 "by acclama-
ton {:
"Resolved, That we regardsthe con-
stitution of the United States as the su-
preme law of the land, and as such to
be implicitly obeyed by the citizens of
every section, and by the authorities of
every State; that we will faithfully OBJ
serve all its provisions and compromi-
ses; that we will resist promptly, firmly,
and by all necessary means, any attempt
from any other quarter to overthrow it;
that in all cases of doubt as to its mean
ing We will appeal to and abide by the
decisions of the courts of the United
States"
The Republican OF moro properly
speaking Abolition press of the present
day, d~enounce the spirit of this resolu-
ton with all the bitterness of black
hearted treason. The patriotic men of
the old Wing party of 1850 are now
mostly in the Democratic ranks.

The Supreme Court.

The Black Republican journals, in
denouncing the bred Scott decision,
incye laid special stress upon the charge
that the majority of the Court were
shareholders. But the charge is false;
a majority of the nine are non-slaveAol-
ders. The Washington Union, in an
article upon the subject, says:
Four of the Justices reside in free
States, where no ono owns slaves. The
Chief Justice is not a STAKEHOLDER, nor
has he been for upward of thirty
years. He never bought or sold a slave.
Of those that the British spared his
father, when they polluted the soil of
Maryland, some came to him by inheri-
lance. After educating those who were
young enough to be taught, and quail
flying them to take care of themselves.
he voluntarily gave them all their free
dom. Two, who were so old as to be
unable to earn their living, he cheerful
ly supported during their lives. He
has not since owned Il slave. This is a
full and complete answer to the state
ments often reiterated in the Republi-
can papers, that a majority Of the Court
were shareholders, and as such had been
Influenced in making their decision in
the bred Scott case.

Mo DOuht of

A late number of the Stark county,
Ohio, Democrat, says:
"John Harris, Esq, an old and high
ly respected citizen of this city, and a
bitter opponent of the Democracy, re
turned from Kansas a few days ago, and
says the Republicans there arc making
every effort to have Kansas a slave state
while the southern men generally are in
favor of it being free"
The object ofthis is apparent, remarks
the Pittsburg Post. If Kansas should
be made a slave state, the Republicans
would continue their "shrieking," but
ifshe becomes a free state, then the las
plank is knocked out of the Republi,
can platform.

Live President

Away out in Minnesota, as well as in
every section of the Union, the recent
prompt action of Mr.. Buchanan in the
matters of the Washington City Riot
and the Ohio Fugitive slave case seems
to have met with the most unqualified
approval. The St. Paul Pioneer and
Democrat says that the promptncss with
which the President ordered out the
military to suppress the election riot in
Washington; his decided instructions
to the United States Marshal, in Ohio,
pending the recent disturbances in the
State, in the execution of a law of Con
gress; the position of the government in
reference to the difficulties in Kansas.
and the open instruction in Utah, give
cheering indications that VIC have a
President prompt to enforce the laws,
preserve peace, and maintain the good
name of the nation. In the action OF
the government, on these difficulties, we
have a display of that wise statesman
ship, matured political wisdom, and ex-
~perience, guided and controlled by ex-
allied patriotism and love of country,
which form the distinguishing traits OF
Mr.. Buchanan's character. 1t was to a
proper appreciation of thess-aualities,
by the American people, that Mr.. Blu
chanan owed his election, at a most cri-
teal period in u history as a nation;
and his official policy, since his inaug-
uration, demonstrates that the conf
dence of the people has not been mis-
placed, but that in his election they Sc
lected "the right man for the right
place"
In Washington, and in Ohio, the
President assumed the responsibility OF
enforcing the laws of the land, undo
tered by the threats Of lawiess mobs;
men were shot down, it is true, by the
military, but it is far better hat thous-
ands Of lives should be sacrificed, than
the power of the government should be
deied by fanatics and organized bullies
and prize fighters. a few more lawless
demonstrations, and a further expendi-
ture of ball and powder by government
troops, will teach many persons sadly in
want of such knowledge, practical les
sons of that political duty which they
seem to be sadly in want.

BLACK HepubIicam Reform

The loud and clamorous professions
for retrenchment and reform made by
the black republicans in the fall of 1855,
induced a great many u~nthinking men
to vote for them-and by their profess
sions and hypocrisy, they succeeded in
carryingthe State. Instead of retrench-
ing they went to depicting the treasury
and the peoples pockets, 1t is only
necessary to turn to the separate loans
to see how they have r~etrcnchcd. Let
us look at the cost of the Legislature
alone, and see how they have redeemed
their promises:

DESERVING THE BLACK BANNER
The editor of the Juniata Sentinel,
Mifiintown, Pennsylvania, who has been
serving as q ck-Republican up to this
time, finds his burden greater than he
can bear, and thus relieves his con
science by a free confession:
The Republican party, under its pres
ent constituted leaders, is the meanest
party offaohich ace erer had anything to do.
Without prudence or discretion brushes
madly into extremes, and renders itself
SO obnoxious to all liberal-minded peo-
pie, that a union of the opposition Gle
ments becomes an utter impossibility.

Thc Late DcGnIcntiom.

The Columbus Statesman of Friday
last says:
If, instead of compli,nenting Atwood
& Co, the Auditor had explained how
their claims had been paid, and explain
ed why the bonds were not sent OH to
be exchanged for others, but were held
as collateral security for "bona .fdc ad-
vance of money to the Treasurer of
State" he would have better satisfied
public expectation. How was the mo-
ncy used which was advanced IN these
bonds? How is the State to be reim-
bursed for the amount paid for having
them restored? What part did Mr..
Gibson play in making this payment
and getting back the bonds, or did he
satisfy Atwood & Co, and make the ar
rangement by which they were restored?
Who RENTED the $4,000 of Seneca
County Bank notes to be burnt, there
by to cancel that amount of bonds p
These questions involve matters of in
terest to the public mind much more
pressing than the mere compliment to
Atwood & Co., who, no doubt, acted as
any other respectable bankers would
have done in negotiating with a Urea
surer or Auditor of State.

The Central American Treaty.

The London Post, the organ of Lord
Palmerston, has a rather significant ar
ticlc on Central American affairs, in
which it doubts "whcthcr the CLAYTON
Bulwcr convention can be reckoned
among existing things any more than
the recently rcpudiated Dallas laren-
don treaty" On more than one occa-
sion the articles in the Post have fore
Swallowed the policy of the British gov
eminent with reference to Central Anne
rican affairs, and this one, in particular
merits attention. 1t also states that
negotiations are still in progress, and
anticipates hat Lord Napier will sue
ceed in settling the question to the sat
isfaction of both nations. 1t adds, how
ever:
"The Queen, as the sovereign of the
magnificent providence of Canada, is
the second power on the continent of
North America, and in that capacity she
has an ~undoubted right to oppose, not
only every possible enforcement of the
Monroe doctrine, but that gradual ex-
tension of the cause of slavery which
appears to be the suicidal and insane
policy of a considerable portion of the
American people. The loss of the Bull
wcr-Clayton convention, of the Hondu-
ras convention, and Of the Clarendon
Dallas treaty, will be amply compensa-
ted if England should now have the
happiness to save Central America from
the infiction of that domestic institu-
ton, equally abhorrcnt to the laws of
