WASHINGTON CITY.
THURSDAY MORNING. MAY es. 1857.

We have again to remind ourreaders that whilst we
are publishing the opinions Of the judges in the bred
Scott case, almost everything else is excluded.
III so important to the information Of the public
mind that the reasons of the majority of the court
mon which they founded their opinion, should go
forth to the people that we willingly give up our
columns almost entirely to this important subject.
We have many valuable and interesting communica-
tions OH hand which cannot now be published We
fare no better than correspondents and contribu-
tors We write editorials but cannot publish them for
want of space. But we feel assured that nothing
that we can write is just now so important to the
country as the reasoning and the decision Of great
constitutional question, which has lately claimed so
large share of public attention.
When the publication Of this case is finished and
we make our ooinments upon it, our columns will
present thcrynsual variety of interesting matter.

rHE MIINIcIpAL ELEcTIoN.

T+s sriizens Of Washington ought never to be un-
mindful or indifferent to Municipal elections as
thew reach directly or Indirectly all the essential I'M
terests of our city, Good adverse results viii
eessariIy follow the choice we make of the deposta-
ries of our trust.
Two tickets are presented to the people One of
them represents party long known, long trusted
and ever faithful in protecting the honor and ad-
yancing the prosperity Of the city 1t has a deep
and an abiding interest in all that courts the protec
ton of wise laws and good government. The other
is of modern date-mysterious in its origin, anoma
lous in its character odious in it's principles, and
hithess to popular confidence. Brief as has been
its existence it has had its day of trial and triumph
Ithas been scourge and blight wherever it be-
guided popular favor and welded an arm Of power.
Beyond our own doors we need not go for proof Of
this. Look to the Washington Monument, and see
how il stands blighted by their touch! For years
the sound of no hammer has been heard within its
precints its revenue is gone the streams of pa
trotic and generous favor throughout the land that
fed the fountain that raised it to its present height
are all cut off by the thriftless faithess band of
yandals that took possession OF lts Keys ana desc
Grated the sanctity that hung around the monument
and the name of Washington.
Let us remember the brutal assaults that have
been made by this party upon the sacred right of
suffrage and the majesty of law-the safety of life
and the protection of property let us remember the
mpious hands they laid upon the sacred rights of
religious liberty to crafty nfdel heresy at the bid
ding of infuriated mobs let us look to the moral
shame that has covered community by these
dark conspirators, who have given a full of
rcproach and ignominy, like that which their ex-
cesses gave to Baltimore, Louisville, and New Or
leans let look throughout all our borders, social

human action and dignifes character and sec if
these modern Ishmacltes have done anything to enti
tie them to praise or commendaton, or to shield
