MANxERs AND MoRALs.-Good manners and
good morals are founded on the same eternal
principles OF right, and are only different ex-
presslons of the same great truths. Both grow
out of the necessities of our existence aud re-
Iations. We have individual rights based on
the fact of our individual being and we have
social duties resulting from our connection, in
the bonds OF society, with other individuals who
have smlIiar rights. Morals aud manners
alike, while, they justify us in asserting
and maintaining our own rights, require us
scrupuIously TO respect; in word and act, the
rights of others. II true that the former, in
the common comprehension OF the term, is
satisfied with simple justice in all Of our rela-
tions, while the latter often requires something
more than the strlctest consclentiousness can
deinand--a yielding Of more than hall the road
an exercise OF the sentiment of benevolence
as well as of equity; but the highest morality
really makes the salne requisltion. Tor II IN
cludes polteness, and recognizes deeds OF KIND
ness as a duty.

o. Mr.. Brighrs exclusion from the Cabi-
net will disappoint his friends, and in particu-
lar some OF those adherents who are bound to
him by the strong and cohesive bonds ofpublIc
plumber; it will now be difficult probably, for
him to redeem the many pledges Of fat offices,
by which he has drawn around him body
of licencious supporters. Deprived Of his Sem
atorial robes; deserted by partizans who have
adhered only while he could fiatter them with
the dclu>ive hopes Of Office; his party broken
and disorganized 10y his unprinclpled treachery
towards Gov Wright; there are some hopes that
the reign of this arch demagogue may soon he
broken down in this State; and that this man
with no merit, who, has by his reckless dis
organizing party tactics, brought anarchy,
political disorganization and party democrat
ization into the State, will sink into the insig
nifcance, from which nothing but party
ebullition could have raised him.

The DRIED ScoTT CAsE-The decision in
this case shows that we can get no fixed inter
probation of the Constitution; new readings
come up as the new light Of progressive age
shines upon its pages. 1t is folly, too, to strive
to attain to any fixed convictions in ones own
mind in regard to it. 1t is as progressive as
the changing views Of each succeeding age.
What Jefferson, Madison, Calhoun, Webster &
Clay thought sound constitutional doctrine, is
now exploded error. The decree ia in con
formity with the settled popular convictions
Of the country, and has been modified and sha-
ped by prevailing views ofthe day; giving us
striking illustration, how much the spirit and
operation Of our government depends upon the
sentiments ofthe people rather than the written
Constitution which gives it form. The deci-
sion takes away the entire ground for slavery
agitation, except as domestic question in the
slave States. 1t makes slavery subject with
witch no one has anything to do, except those
Immediately concurred in it. 1t sustains in
full, aud in almost the precise language the
doctrines OF the American party, that Congress
has no power over it in the territories, MOI
can its agents, the territorial government
NEEDLE with it, either to admit or expel it.
The decision must have an important and
pacific influence upon the political questions
of the days Slavery agitation has got its
death blow.

SLAyERY Ao1rArroN. New Albany

SLAVERY AGITATIoN.-The New Albany
Tribune makes the following correct common
tary upon the text of the American Platform:
"When the American party declare against
the political agitation of the slavery question
they certainly do not mean to be understood
as acquiescing in slavery aggression. They
have no sympathy, whatever, with the insti-
tuition, and will oppose It's extension beyond
present limits, by all the legal. practical, and
constitutional means within their power. Be-
yond this theyare not disposed to ogitate with
view to interfere with the constitutional rights
OF the South. AS TO the evils of slavery, NOR
ally, socially, and politically, and how they
may get rid Of it, we leave the people of the
States where it exists, to settle for themselves.
We Of the free North, have nothing to do with
it, except to.keep, it from our own doors, and il
possible, prevent its extension into territory
where it does not already exist. This is
where the American party stand, precisely
upon the slavery question:"
