Tbs prosIess made thus far, whether by the
English or the Americans, in forcing Themselves at
the csnron's mouth into the good will and hospl-
table entertainment Of the people Of Canton, does
NOT seem 10 be very encouraging. They have ba.-
tered down number of Chinese forts, and the
Cbjne.e. in return, have burGed all the buildings al
Canton hitherto occupied by foreign merchants;
but. meanwhile, Yeh aud the Cantonese remain just
IS iupracticabe az ever. Whether the burning
down CT The entire city Of Canton which is reported
as fact BIZ one Of the London p,pers but, ss yet,
on no sufficient authority would tend to make the
people of CAUTION any more amia'le toward the
foreign Devils" is, We must think, extremely
doubtful. The British experiment, some forty
years ago. in occupying Washing .On, burning
down tbs Capitol and blowing up the Navy-YaFd,
did NOT, so far as we have ever understood, tend
very strongly to the restoration of amicaoe feeling
between us aud the British aud we in slime to the
opinion tha. such ncendiary proceedings will be
apt to operate on the Chinese very much az they
did on US.
The present, perhaps, is rather al lll-chosen op-
poriup.ty for tying the effect OF arson and blood
shed on ths Chinese. The pending rebellion has too
much accustomed both the Government aud tho
People to affairs OF tha: sort to make the burning
down OF city or the destruction of few thou'
sand people matter Of so much Importance as 1t
might have been a few years ago. The operations
therehose upon the part of the British as well as
the AmeIcans-would sppear TO have taken place
not only wthou. orders bu. against orders, it hav-
ing been stated in the House Of Commons that
there is standing order to the authorities at Hong

Lord Grey in l6i7 and still 10 force, peremP-

The decision Of the Supreme Court made to day
that colortd persons are not citizens of the United
States, and that Congress has no power to impose
shy restriction upon the spread of Slavery, had been
heard and commented upon here with mingled
derisOn and contempt.
Ifepithets and denuncistiOn could sink Judicial
body, the Supreme Court of the United States
would never be heard of again.
ChiefJustice Taneys opinion was lcng, elaborate,
able and Jesuitical. His arguments were based on
gross historical falsehoods and bold assam ptons,
and went the whole length of the extreme Southern
doctrine. He held that the Constitution was made
only for white men, and thlt it carried Slavery into
the Territories. In word, he went the whole hog,
leaving nothing for future decision except the single
point that the people of the Territories have no
tight to prohibit Slavery TIL they form State Gov

The Cincinnati Enquirer leading Democratic

Gen. Packer to meet Judge Wilmot on the stump,
al d discuss with him before the people Of Pennsyl'
yana the great issues on which they are to pass
Judgment in October:
Judge Wimot, the Black Republican candidate
for Governor in Pennsylvania, lately challenged Gen.
Packer, the Democratic nominee for that ONCE, 10
ske the stump with him in public discussion through.
cut the State Mr. Packer referred the proposal to the
Cbairmsn ,f h. Democratic State Committee, who adj
vsed him to decline it, assigning several reasons iof
such course, which, in our Judgment, are not az all
tebable. The first was that il might have tendency
by making precedent, to prevent, hereafter, the
non Lation Of any man who was not good debater;
ard second that in his the Chairmans BELIEF there
wss considerable public feeling against the proprety
to solicit their votes ana astly that WilmOt, the
Black Republican nominee, was Judge, whicn was
a special disqualification.
''TLis latter objection was no reason way fackeI
