for half a column Of low, sneaking slang on

SOMETHING FOR THE DoUaHFAcEs.-
While the Northern Doughface Press is
uphoiding the extra judicial decision Of the
Supreme Court, in the Dred Scott case, as
something particularly agreeable to their
nOstrils, the most inaueatial press of the
South comes down upon it in unmcasured
terms OF condemnation. In a laie number
of the Louisville Journal, appears a long
and able communication, signed "a Ken
lucky Lawyer, Z" reviewing this case, which,
the Journal says, was written by one Of the
ablest men and soundest jurisls in that
State. In the course of the review, the
writer thus pronounces:
i'The majority Of the Court decided IN
