PAULDING AND WALKER.

Mr. Doolittle made an eloquent, copser
vatiye and patriotic speech in behalf Q
Commodore Paulding. Walker was spo
ken of without denupciation, but in view
of his invasion into Sonora, and twice Int,
Nicaragua, a case was made most advets,
to the marauder. The U. S. Government
/ had twice saved him from inevitable death
though now denounced for what it baC
done. On the first surrender Of Wake
in Nicaragua il was held that he yielded
all power over the territory, and, therefore
held no other rightful position in the terri
tory. The speech proved very complete
argument and will not be easy to answer.
GENERAL JACKSON ON TIE SUPREME
CoURr.-The following is an extract from
Gen. Jackson's message to Congress, il
1882, communicating his veto of the Banl
of the United States: 7@#7Fa pa
''If The opinion Of the supreme court
covers the whole ground Of this act, il
ought not to control the co ordinate al
thorities of this government. The Con
gtess, the executive, and the court, mus
each by Itself be guided by its own opinion
of the constitution. Each public Officer
ag6o takes an oath to support the constit@
ton, sgears that he wW support at as he
understands 1t, and not as 1t IS understood
By others 1t is as much the duty of the
House of Representatives, of the Senate
and of the President, TO decide upon The
constitutionality Of any bill or resolution
which may be presented to them for pas
sage or approval, as it is of the supreme
judges, when it may be brought before
them for judicial decision. The authority
of the supreme court must not, therefore
be permitted to control the Congress, OF
the executive, when acting in their legis-
lative capacities, but TO have only such III
flucncc as the force Of their reasoning may
deserve"
TnE INEsTIMABLE VALUE OF FREE IA
BoR.-B. Gratis Brown, in his recent speech
10 the Republicans Of St. Louis, said with
a Cieeronian beauty:
The elfare Of every community must
rcpose upon the labor Of that, community
Labor itself is the democracy Of life, and
free labor and free democracy are synony-
NOUS terms. It is only social drones OF
giided aristoclats who make sport Of its
toll and mock at its seIfelevation. 1t can
with Justice, therefore, claim to be the first
in the eye Of The law, aud moi to be reliev-
ed from degrading, serylfe competitlon.-
Freedom is its native air. Strip it Of It's
title 10 respect, brand it with the brand Of
degradation, les it be classed or associated
with slavery, and The fine spirit that gives
buoyapcy to its effort is gone. Free Labor
aud slave labor are incompatible institp-
tons; one or the other must dominate and
aaGisll It's rival. T
