Of Qaankey parish near there, says:
The last royal clergy man who of

lor. Upon the meeting of the
Wings in Halifax, on the Attn Of A.
pril, l77G, for the purpose Of placing
the county in military organization,
parson Taylor become very active in
opposition to measures adopted, and
took occasion to preach a very Sc
we're sermon on the subject of 10y
atty to the king and against rebel
lion; animadvertiDg in strong terms
on the movement OF the Wings
Nothing was said By the audience at
the time - not a murmur OF disap.
probation was heard - but on the
next Sabbath, as the reverend tory
assembled to the pulpit, he was star
tied to find a eourd of tar and a
small bag Of feathers, placed there
by way Of a hint. The hint was Ia
ken IN all its significance; the parsOI
descended, left the church, aud very

The question Of amending the

SO as to make the Judges the Of U. S.

is much agitated at the North since
TIE publication Of the Courts decis.

reference to the provision IF the
Constitution prescribing the manner
in which amendments may be made,
will at once show the present hope
iessness of this agitation. Article

follows: G
The Congress, whenever two
thirds of both Houses shall deem it

to this Constitution, or on the appli-
cation of the Legislature. Of. two.

or by conventions in three fourths
thereof, as the one or the other mode
Of ratification may be proposed by

FAYETTEVILLE, TENN:

One Side Reading.

We regret to see the northern
Republican journals, having printed
in advance copy Of Judge McLsan's
opinion on the bred Scott case,
give that dissenting opinion alone
with no intent of giving the opin-
ions Of the Judges that decided the
lease. Reading and writing, we re-
peat, are but curses to society when
they ara used only to balf-educate
men, aad TO create one-side9 opinions.
No man is educated who is not per-
mitied to read something of all sides,
an education reader OF the modern
Republican journalists never likely
to get.-N T. Express.
That is fact, says the New York
Day Book, Of ell persons in our
country the educated" and "very
intelligent" or, as the Daily Times
snobbishly says, "the best portion of
the american people, are really
the most ingnoraat upon political
subjects. As simple of this deep
seated Ignorance of our laws and
institutions, We may mention that
3 the writer of this was conyerslng,
only yesterday, with the editor OF one
Of our prominent religious ja urnals,
who gravely asserted that Southern
men cast three votes for every five
negroes they owned" And this
very morning, coming down on a
railroad car, We hearl two very re-
sspectable gentlemen conversing upon
the all absorbing topic the decision
of Chief Jastice Taney-one Of
!hem very earnestly remarked "that
as the Constitution allowed Southern
men to cast votes according to the
number Of negroes they owned that
northern men ought TO be allowed
TO have votes according to the mum
Der OF horses they possessed. IL
this very sage CONCLUSION his compan
ION really assented. 1t may seen
impossible to many that such a delu
sion could exist among intelligent
pc rsons, yet these very men, as W.
learned from their conversation, were
physicians, and one of them on hi
way to visit a patient! Such is blu
a sample Of the 'depiorable ignoranc,
of our laws and institutions anon,
what is known as the educated
''reading elasses" Of the North, who,
as the Express says, get their imfor
{ nation from Republican" Journals

preme Court should only make these
people SO furious ne to actually impe
them to read the Constitution of tht
United States, it will be one OF The
greatest blessings ever conferred up
