the judges of the supreme Court, what do we care
for thems They are mere expositors of constiti-
ton which we have decided to be gross violation
of the law of God and the rights Of nature. They
are the slaves of law reason, and logic they de-
mur TO the higher law, and reject the supremacy Of
dogmas. Their authority is nothing but name as
they owe their being to constitution we have
decreed to be null and void. Therefore, we hereby
assert and proclaim that Dred Scott is citizen Of
the United States, and shall be citizen Of the Uni
ted States in spite of the Supreme Court and the con
stitution."
There is no use in reasoning with such desperate
subjects. One might as well whistle jigs to mile
stones with the expectation Of making them dance.
Whenever, therefore, we recur to this subject, wo
beg to be understood not addressing ourselves to
the rabid abolitionsts. We aim not at converting
either madmen or hypocritesi and our only purpose
is to warn those who have been entioed to the brink
of the precpice to pause before they take the last
fatal plunge.

those fancy teas especially the green varieties which
the Chinese acknowledge they are in the habit Of
coloring with Prussian blue, indigo, and gypsum.
II may be that the present difficulties between the
Chinese and the 'outside barbarians" may SO raise
the price of tea as to render its cultivation prof.
bic in this country, notwithstanding the doubts
that have been expressed ON the subject. That il
can be successfully cultivated in the southern portion
of the United States is longer matter Of uucer-
tainty since the experiments have been made known
of Mr. Junius Smith, in South Carolina. Nay it is
even now asserted that the tea raised by him pos.
sesses an intrinsic value which viii enable it to COM
pare favorably with the better qualities from China
II would SEEM therefore, that the accnation of this
plant should be fairly tested, and ifpraeticable It'll
to be hoped that the able and distinguished gentlc.
man now at the head Of the Interior Department will
extend his fostering hand to its cultivation.

The Vermont Patriot pointedy remarks;
Perhaps the most gratifying feature of the result Of
the election in Connecticut is the evidence that the peo
pie of the State appreciate the compliment paid them in
the selection of Hon Isaac Toucey Secretary Of the
Navy. Though foremost among the umiinching demo
Gratis Of New England and though no better selection
could have been made by the President yet IL must be
gratifying both to the administration and the Secretary
of the Navy that Connecticut has noby come forward
to endorse the appointment Connecticut has long been
proud of the Secretary, and the Secretary may well be
proud of Connecticut

Of the Neuhate question: the conference has held

some leading points and the Swiss and Prusan ministers

for answer from their respective governments.
It is generally believed that NJ de Mony will return

commerce between France and Russia to be signed and
as we told that all the articles agreed on it is
supposed that the signatures will be affixed in the
OF next month. M. dc Morny, it appears has lost

directors OF the Bank of England has created am unvor
