Report Of the Committee appointed to
superinfend the burning Of the Iron
Safes at Reading, FEB. 27th, 1857.
READING, March 4,h.
The undersigned, members of the Commit
Tee, do respectfully report, that we saw The
two Safes originally agreed rpon by FaHels
g. Herring aud Evans & Watson, placed side
by side in furnace, viz: The Safe in use by
the Psymasier of the Phiadeiph,a and Read
ing Rsilroad Company, in his office at Read
ing, manufactured by Farrels & Herring, and
the Safe in use by H. A. Lantz, in his store,
manufactured by Evans g. Watson, and put
in books and papers precisely alike.
The fire was started at 81 O'Clock, A. NJ,
and kept up until four cords of green hickory,
two cords dry oak and half chestnut top wood
| were entirely consumed, the whole under
| the superinlendence of the subscribers, mem
be.s OF the Committee. The Safes were then
cooled of with water, after which they were
opened, agd the books and papers taken out
! by the Committee and sent 10 H. A. Lantz's
Store for public examination, after they were
| frsi examined and marked by the Commit.
tee. The books and papers taken from the
Safe manufactured by Evans & Watson were
but slightly affected by the intense heat,
whiIe those taken from the Safe manufac-
lured by Farrels & Herring were, in our judg.
ment, damaged fully fifteen per cent. more
than those taken from Eyans & Watson's
Safe.

Convention, issued by the members of the Le-
gislature opposed to Locofocoism, has met
with the fullest response from the press thro'-
out the State, and scarcely paper reaches US
that does not contain notice for county meet
ipgs to select delegates to the same. In our
own columns will be found notice for Con-
vention OF those in this county friendly to the
call, and who are sincerely opposed to the pol
icy Of the Pierce-Buchanan party-to union
Of Church and State-to Roman Catholic in
reference in the affairs Of our Government
and to the extension of the blight of slavery
over the fair territories of the West. We
trust, if the business of the season will not in
terfere, that the meeting will be well attended
As we remarked before, we receive from all
sections of the State the most cheering evil
dences of disposition on the part of both the
Americans and Republicans to concentrate
their forces upon one sett of candidates, and
In this connection one fact worthy of special
note is, that the American State Council, which
assembled last week at Altoona, passed reso-
buttons to that effect.

The DREp Scorr CASE DEcIpED.-On the 9Th
inst, the q. S. Supreme Court at Washing
ton gave an important decision in this case.
The first point decided is, that Dred Scott,
(coiored, manumitted save,) is not citizen.
Next, that he was not manumitted by being ta-
ken by his master, when slave, into the then
Territory of Illinois. The Missouri Compro-
mise Act of 1920 is decided TO have been an
act unconstitutionally passed by Congress.
Thedecison involves the point, that slave
taken temporarily into free State or Terrific
ry, in transitu, is not emancipated, and that
negroes, whether slaves free, are not citi-
zens under the Constitution. The decision
was rendered by Chief Justice Taney. Justice
Nelson, of New York, and others, dissented.
WASHINGTON, March I'm the u. S. Su-
preme Court, this morning, Justice Mclean
delivered his views, arguing that slavery is
limited to the range of the States where es-
tablished by mere municipal law. If Congress
deem slaves or free colored persons injurious
to the territory, they have the power to pro-
hibit them from becoming settlers therein
The power to acquire territory carries with it
the power to govern it. The master does not
carry with him TO the territory the law of the
State from where he removes-hence the Mis-
souri, Compromise is Constitutional, and the
presumption is in favor of the freedom of
Dred Scott and his family, who were free un-
der decisions for the last twenty eight years.
Justice Curtis dissented from the opinion of
the majority of the Court, as delivered by
C.J Taney ,and gave his reasons for dissenting.
He maintained that native born colored per-
sons can be citizens of the State and of the u
nited States; that Dred Scott and his family
were free when they returned to Missouri +
that the power of Congress to make all need
full regulations respecting territory was not, as
the majority of the Court expressed, limited
to territory belonging to the United States at
the time of the adoption of the Constitution,
but has been applied to five subsequent acqui-
stions of lands; that Congress has power to
exclude Slavery from the Territories, having
established eight territorial governments with
out it, and recognized slavery in six, from the
days of Washington 20 J ohm Quincy Adams.
These opinions occupied five hours in deliv-
cry. Justices Wayne, Grier, Campbell and
Daniel had papers expressing their views on
certain points of the opinion of the Court, but
did not read them.
The Court then adjourned until the time fix
ed by law.

| has been a maxim OF our policy ever since the
days Of Washington, and its wisdom nc one
will attempt to dispute. In short, We ought
to do justice in kindly spirit TO all nations.
and require justice from them in return.
1t is our glory that whilst other nations hayo
extended their dominions by the sword, We
have never acquired any territory except by
fair purchase or as in the case of Texas by the
voluntary determination of brave kindred and
independent people to blend their destinies
with our own. Even cur acquisitions from
Mexico form no exception. Unwilling to
take advantage of the fortune Of war against
sister Republic, purchased these posses
sions under the treaty of peace, for sum
which was considered at the time fair equiv
alent. Our past history forbids that We should
in the future acquire territory, unless this be
sanctioned by the laws OF justice and honor.
Acting on this principle, no nation will have
a right to interfere or complain, if in the pro-
gress of events we shall still further extend
our possessions. Hitherto in all our acquisi-
| tons. the people under the protection of the
American flag have enjoyed civil and religious
liberty, as well as equal and just laws, and
have been contented, prosperous and happy.
Their trads with the rest of the world has rap
idly increased, and thus every commercial
nation has shared largely in their successful
progress. l shall now proceed to take tho
oath prescribed by the Constitution, whilst
humbly invoking the blessings Of Divine Pro-
violence on this great people.
JAMES BUCHANAN.
At the close of the Address, the ex-Presi-
dent advanced and offered his congratulations
to the President, and he was followed by the
other dignitaries. The crowd at the same
time renewed their cheering, and the guns on
the Capitol Hill beloved out the news that
new President had entered then his term OF
office. The salute consisted of thirty -one guns
one for each State of the Union.
The ceremony being concluded, the Presi-
dent returned to the Senate Chamber, and
soon after resumed his seat in the carriage
and was conducted to the White House, tho
ex-President and others accompanying him.
The military and great portion of the civic
procession formed again, to escort the Presi-
dent and those along with him to the Execu-
tive Mansion.
