True American. [volume] (Steubenville [Ohio]) 1855-1861, 1857-03-11

In the U. S. Supreme Court this NOR
ming, Justice Mclean delivered his
views, arguing that slavery is limited 10
the range of the State where established
by mere municipal law of Congress.
II they deem slaves or free colored per-
sons injurious to territory they llavepOw-
erto prohibit them from becoming set
tiers therein. The power 10 acquire
territory comes with its power to govern
it. The master does not carry with him
to the territory the law of the State from
which he removes /; hence the Missouri
Compromise is constitutional, and the
presumption in favor Of the freedom of
Dred Scott and his family; who were
free under the decisions for the last %
wears,

THE INAUGURAL.

We lay before our readers in this is
sue Of our paper, the Inaugural of the !
President, delivered on the 4th inst 1t
is about the same length as the one we
published last week, purporting to be
"ahead Of the Telegraph" We think it
will hardly be claimed that there is more
talent displayed in the latter than in the
former, while at the same time there is
evinced greater amount of cautiousness
upon the part of his Exccllency to guard
against committing his administration to
any definite line of policy.
1t is true, Mr.. Buchanan after assu-
ming his election to be the result of the
love of the Union upon the part of the
people, and that he has been placed in
his high position by the "voice of the
majority"-a statement which the figures
do not show-sets out by the declaration
that he will not again be candidate for
the Presidency, and then proceeds to an
expression of his approval of the Kansas
Nebraska Bill, which he regards as the
application Of the simple rule Of the will
Of the majority governing in the determi-
nation of the slavery question in the
territories. He therefore regards the
agitation of fthat question at this time, as
without any legitimate object.
After making pertinent and judicious
computation ofthe value of the Union, he
passes to consideration of the evil and
corrupting tendencies, both public and
private, of an excessive revenue, and in
this connection approves the tariff reduc-
ton. The subject of the disposal of the
public domain elicits some pointed reaec-
tions, which are, it strikes us, very apro
pos at this time, and as means. Of de-
fence he favors the construction Of a mil
itary road to California.
Upon the subject of foreignism the
President gives us to understand that he
is in favor Of giving that class of commu
nifty a full share in the management of the
affairs of the government--this was no
thing more than was reasonably to be ex
pected, as it was by the suffrages of for
eigners, and especially Of Catholics tha
he has been placed in his present higl
position. Everything connected with tn
affairs of the Government tend 10 tn
conclusion that although the allusion T.
this subject is apparently incidental, ye
it is destined 10 be the question upol
which the present administration vii
either stand or fall.
The speech closes with brief state
ment of the principles which govern til
nation in our foreign relations.
The document has claim 10 generG
perusal.

Congressional.

WASHINGTON, March 6, ls57.-In the
extra Session of the Senate MIR. Seward
presented a petition of certain British
subjects, setting forth that, as Lord Pal.
merston's act in surrendering the Mari
time right of that government is an act Of
high treason, those rights will revert
to the British crown and nation as
soon as the guilty party shall be inn
peached for crime; that the petitioners
have heard that the President of the Uni
led States is proposing terms on which
Tire declaration Of Paris will be agreed 10
by the United States that such an act
would be one of connivance with Lord
Palmerston in his attempt to possess
himself of an arbitrary power, foreign
to the British Constitution and the Con-
stitution of the United States. They
pray Congress to refuse the sanction of
any convention with Great Britain, foun-
ded on an illegal, reasonable and invalid
declaration al Paris. On motion of Mr..
Seward. it was laid on the table.
Mr., BIgler presented protest OF 4+
members of the House of Representatives

ate Of Pennsylvania, against the proceed :
ings under which Simon Cameron claims

sion and soon after adjourned till Mon

GOVERNMENT PATRONAGE.-The Bos-
ton Pilot, an intense, blood-and fire Ro-
man Catholic paper, says the Boston Bee
has the annual advertisement of the Post
Office proposals for carrying the mail
Throughout the country. 1t occupies
nearly five columns of that sheet, and is,
of course paid at a round rate. The
Postmaster General, James Campbell, is
a Roman Catholic of the Pilot type, and
he takes good care, so far as it is in his
power, to put the government advertise
ments into the anti-American papers. We
have only to get few more such me
into the Cabinet 10 deprive every journa
in the land that is not a slave of Roman
ism, from having penny's patronage
II is to just this extent that our govern
mental officers are tending,--When tn
immense power of this patronage i
considered, and of the political danger
that accompanies it, we may well fee
cause of alarm, Possibly the time i
coming when the necessity Of an Ameri
can party will be acknowledged, and il
quarters where now the very idea is scou
led. When the Postmaster General {
the United States chooses for his pet OF
gans such papers as the Boston Pilo
N. Y. Freeman's Journal, and their kin
dreds. we think very singular cond
ton of things has been reached. An
yet such are the facts, The Bosto
