THE FRUITS OF REPUBLIcANIsM.

Wherever the republicans have secured control Of
the Legislative power they have done upon issues
foreign to the interests Of their own locality When
installed in authority glaring disregard Of the rights
and interests Of the people is manifested. Those
differing with them in opinion must be punished and
the hungry leaders and dependents must be reward
ed. This leads to legislation, which alarms the
friends of popular rights and written constitutions
portions of which arc deemed unconstitutional and
null and void These views have been strkingy i.
lustrated in New York. Instead of keeping within
conceded constitutional authority, republican egis'
lature has defaced her statute-book with numerous
oppressive and tyrannical enactmens, some Of which
the abest jurists of the State declare to be uncof
stituional and void. The republican executive Of
the State, and those aiding in their enactment arc
seeking without awaiting the opinions of the Judlcla
ry upon the questions raised under them, to enforce
these laws with the strong hand of power. The greedy
impulses of the swarm Of wappointecs under these
doubtful laws cannot be restrained by considerations
of moderation, prudence and the public good but
demand immediate qualification at the hazard of the
peace and best interests of the great commercial city
The republicans calling for the Intervention Of
the military to aid them in clutchng the power which
they ardently seek They insist that if they can
not, by their strength attain the positions they
seek and the spoils they covet, because the mer
chants and business men Of the city will not engage
in foray for their benefit, the governor shall
order the militia from the country TO come and assist
them The power and the spoils they must have,h
1T bathes the streets in blood and wraps houses III
flames. A more reckless disregard of the consttu
ton and laws, and the peace and good order Of soc-
ETY., was never manifested in the most barbarous
times. We most sincerely hope, before any definite
act of violence shall have occurred returning sense
ofright may induce the leaders to stay their hands
and await the action of the Judiciary upon the cases
now before it. Should they not do so, there is but
one proper course for the friends of order and con-
stitutional law to pursue. They should do no ur
lawful act, and commit no violence but leave then
adversaries to enjoy monopoly of wrong and vio'
lence and rely upon the peaceful action of the udct
airy to redress their wrongs The courts will soon
declare who are right and administer justice with an
even hand. If greedy and unprincipled men shai
forcibly thrust the righhul officials out of their law
ful places, and assume and exercise unlawful author
Ity, the minister's of justice win correct the a
ror and punish the wrong, while justly-indgna"
public will announce next November in thundeI
tones, its rreversibe condemnation of the acts anu
doings of the aggressors

THE DRIED SCOTT CASE,

After delay, which no one anticipated, the report
of this case has been published, and we have been
able to procure copy. We commence tho publca
ton of the opinion of the court delivered by Chief
Justice Taney, and shall follow it with one Of
the two dissents. We may add one of the six
other opinions sustaining but upon grounds sois
what different the views of the majority of the court
The opinions we propose to publish will give ht
and full view of the whole case, and afford our read
ers an opportunity to judge for themselves Of the
reasons for and against the final action of the court
They address themselves to the understanding and
sober Judgment Of the people, who will not suffer
their ultimate conclusions to be warped and misdi
rected by the coarse invectiye or harsh epitheb
which have been so profusely heaped upon the Ind
iorty of the court. We shall withhold the expires
sion of the views and opinions have formed upon
this subject until after the completion Of the publ
cation of the opinions referred to. We hope then to
be able to present our readers review of the case
and the principles involved beltting the gravity and
importance of the subject.

HON. d. S. DICKINSON.

Hon. Daniel s. Dickinson, Of New York, was com

at Wizards Hotel. There was very large attend

the balcony in front Of the hotel and addressed his

From the { O. s.. Presbyterian.
A SOuth.Sidc View.

The Cicinnati Christian Herald, New
school abolition paper, publishes letter
from the Rev. b. Mills of Kentucky one of
the Southern party, in which he gives his
views of the secession movement and its
probable results. After stating that fow
had left the Cleveland Assembly, because
slavery was sore subject with them, and
they did not wish to be troubled about it,
Mr.. Mills says:
"But the great body of us leave you for
another reason. We are conscious ofhav
ing done our whole duty, to both master
and slave; and we want peace. We wish
to be free from the embarrassment OF con
nection which prevents us from doing more
then we have ever done for the slave. Many
time when the attempt has been made by
us to elevate and instruct the negro, to bring
both him and his owner under the influence
of the gospel, men have cried out that we
were connected with abolition'sts. This
has created just about such an excitement
around us, as would be the result if you
were to publish us as slave-catchers at the
North.
Our Old school brethren have managed
this matter very differently. They have
said nothing in their Assembly, but at home
they have not been quiet on the subject
They have, in most instances, done their
whole duty to the master and slave, as faI
as they were able Years will not suffice
to put US on level with them in their inAu

y report has been III circulation that ibis
read had made running arrangement with
the III. $. 1, n L., and would abandon the
road ives. of this place. We have taken
some pains to pest ourselves on this sub
jet, and are authorized to say, that such
Is not the case, except for a short time
The Northern Indiana road no doubt would
be glad to make such an arrangement, but
We conclude that it will never be effected.
Its we'll known b. the friends of the n
!. Il. Il. that the Pittsburgh road will be
one Of The re'y test In the country--and
hence, their anxiety to make the arrange
ment, in order that it may be regarded as a
switch, or side-track, Of theirs The work
on The Pittsburg road, west of this place. is
progressing slowly, and may possibly have
to be suspended for time, but that it will
be completed to Chicago, there is no ques-
ton. There has been a great amount ..oi
figuring to have the road stop at this place,
but the Directors have positively refuseL
to accede TO any proposals or inducements
which have been laid before them.
The road from Pittsburg TO this place is
in good running order; the trains come in
on time, aud have 10 accidents, and travel.
elers generally speak well of tie road and
its officers.
The grading west of this place could be
finished by cold weather, if the company
had means to justify the contractors in put
ting on strong force. There have beer
nearly half million of dollars spent or
the line west of this place; therefore, We
conclude that there is no doubt but wha
it will be finished through to Chicago.

sale of the Company's bonds to the amount
of $4,000, with prospect of $4,000

ding from Plymouth, West, to the crossing
of the NJ. c. r. r., which, we are inform
ed, only requires in cash, exclusive of the
stock that the several contractors take

Governors Of the States on the subject 1t
is stated that a rupture was then inevita-
bic, and he called on the Governors to hold
the national guards ready for orders, and
to transmit reports of their numbers and
deficiency to head quarters.
The Rio National says that, in case of
war, Comonfort will head tie army, and
that Juareza will act as President in his
stead.
The news of the war with the Pinto In
dams was conflicting. Gen Alvarez had
not succeeded in subduing them, and it
was reported that his health had about Civ

General Lopez La Vega. who was for
merly exiled, has offered his services to
Comonfort, in case of a war with Spain.

Advices from India, dated at Calcutta
on the 18th and at Bombay on the 18th Of
June. The native mutiny was extending
and embraced twenty-three regiments OF

were defeated by government troops; but
they still held possession of the city, and
had cut all the telegraph wires running
thence to Agra. The army had remained
faithful in Bombay and. Madras. Thirty
thousand men had been lost to the Bombay

es show a decrease Of more than million
dollars. The net gain of population du-
ring the past six months has been only 4,

up of Cinnamon. These statistics certain
ly do not speak very fatteringly for the
material prosperity of California. Bust
ness generally was much depressed. Min
ing operations were as IS successful as ev-
er, and especial attention was being paid to
quartz operations. The politicians were
actively preparing for the gubernatorial
campaign. Delegates to the Democratic
