ArsuosirY OF THE SuPREnx CorRr.---Dit
our border rufhan cotemporaries ever heal
OF the Alien and Sedition Laws? Have
they forgotten that Congress passed laws
establishing . United Statps Bank which
were approved by the Executive ? Are they
sufficiently informed to be aware that the
Suprems Court Of the United States sus.
tanned the constitutionality Of the Alien and
Sedision laws As we'll as the charter OF the
United States Bank And has no. the de-
nuncission Of the Alien and Sediton Laws,
and Of the United States Bank constituted
the grand themes and fountains Of eloquence
Tor Democratic orators for two generations
past? Those laws and that charter have not
only been denounced BY democratic orators,
but their conventions, State and National,
have exhausted tie utmost bitter ness Of the
English language in vituperatiou Of those
laws, and that institution and all who sus.
tanned or advocated them.
And do they no, rejoice that in spite OF
the decisions of the United States Supreme
Court the Democratic party has triumphed,
and public opinion has at last overruled the
Court And If such be the case, will they
tell us in what respect the Republican party
proves itself more reasonable in disregard
ing the political opinion of the Supreme
Court on the Slavery question, than the Dem
oeratic party in its disregard of like opinions
OF tina, department of our Government, on
other questions

sas and Nebraska Colonization Society has
been formed at Burlington. The Ha,rkeys
says that the ofhcers and leaders are Buchan-
an men. Whether they concluded to go out
because the prospect is now 70 good for a
Slave State in Kansas, under the auspices OF
Buchanan's administration, or for the pur-
pose OF circumyenting the schemes of their
political master, we are not informed. 1t
can't be the latter, however, we presume, rs
they have denounced the Emigrant Aid So
ciety with absolute ferocity for trying to pro.
mote the interests Of Freedom in that Terri
tory, and they wouldn't SO stultify them
selves as to be guilty Of the same offence.
AN INDIAN APPOINTED President Buchanan
has appointed Ely S. Parker, on Indian, Su.
perinsendens Of the Government Buildings at
uaiena Suerely til, Loeofocos of Iowa will
rebel and refuse to submit to such an ont.
rage upon the dignity of the white race
now can they endure that an Indian should
ooia lucrative federal appointment, when
'hey refuse to allow him to testify before
justice OF the peace in the State Of Iowa.

GT There is an unprecedented number Of
slaves exported from Virginia and North
carolina to more southern market this

speaking of the immense number going from

years to clear Virginia Of that class Of popu.
lation.
