p There is difference Of opinion among the
ultra Southern journals as to the effect OF the
Dred Scott decision. The Charleston Mercury
denounces with much sarcasm and bitterness
the Southern politicians who assume that the
question is settled, and utters the following
gloomy forebodings: saE asE o8. h..s So. /,
'The victory we have won may indeed be glo-
rious, more glorious because of the disaster of
the engagement. But ii is q victory more fatal,
perhaps, than defeat, the forerunner Of complete
subisction. Like the soldiers Of the Revolution,
iheg rise up stronger from each struggle, with
renewed yigor aud more determined resolution.
We, exhausted by every effort, stricken, intim-
idaled beat back momentarily their fierce as
ssults that we may cover our next retreat and
leave them in possession of our camp fires. This
has been the history of our gallant contest with
this insignificant rabble for the last Fifty odd
tyears.. Again NE have passed through anew
struggle, more Insignificant at each meeting
again our colors are flying over our march, and
again they are flying over our retreat. Back
back! Our enemy is before US! In 60, wher
