"RErUBucAN" CoNFEssIoNs,-Thc editor
of the Springfield Argus writes from
Washington as follows:
Il have some charmingly n0ire confes-
sions Of prominent Fremont leader, with
reference to the false pretepees upon which
the black republicans contacted the late
campaign Now that the election is over,
they are refreshingly frank Senator Will
sou says ''the howl set up about the repeal
Of the Missouri Compromise l quote his
own words was a d-d humbug;" the
democrats he says, were right in saying
that it had been already repealed by the
legislation of 1850, and the Wing party
and Democratic party were both committed
by their conventions Of 1852 in favor oI
repeal"

slavery by the recent Supreme Court decis-
ion, is the slave of one Of the Massachu-

Or. C. represents the Springfield district,
the Argus of which place states the fact
how Scott became ChalTee's slave-by
ChaGfee marrying the widow Of Dr. Emer-

bench that Dred Scott was not citizen Of
the United States, and could not sue in the
United States Couft, has remanded him
