wisdom and patriotism, and we could wish
it to have had the support of the entire de-
mocracy
Indiana may well be proud of her young,
but already distinguished statesman-the
author of this pacific measure. In it, as
we'll as in his speeches, and whole deport-
ment in Congress is displayed the polished
statesman and sagacous patriot. A bright
future is before that sterling son of dem
ocracy, VIM. L. English.
The land brides which are SO much
talked about as lertaiDg to this measure,
are nothing more than the usual grants by
Congress TO every new State for educa-
tional purposes, and will not have a shad-
ow of influence in the rejection or accepta-
ton of the proposition by the citizens Of
Kansas. l. is true there are, and very
properly for pacific purposes, string OF
preambles and collateral propositions at
tached to this compromise measure; bu
what matters all this to us? The sum and
substance of what we have asked for-o
what the plighied faith of our party de
mands, is granted us; namely, The submits
sion Of the Lccompton Constitution to thu
citizens of Kanss for their approval or re
lection.
1t will be rejected by an overwhelming
strength. then Will the people Of that terri
tory form another CONSTITUTE on, and after i
has been regularly submitted to the peopl
1t W i be taken to Congress- at their mex
session. and Kansas will add auothe
star tothe galaxy Of the Union.
Then let this long war cease, and peac
and harmony prevail. Let not that oil,

rery be heard in the halls of Congress
again for quarter of century. Let tn

our business, and should continue our sys-
tenn as heretofore. Judge Russell Las the
whole question under consideration, and
will give his legal opinion on the 3Oth OF
April. By giving the above the same
prominence in your columns as your repor.

respectfully, DEAN d SALTER.

OF The High Court of Appeals, il

OF The High Court Of Appeals, in
Mississippi, have recently decided an in
tsresting case. defining the rights of free
negroes to inherit property by bequest
in that State. Mr.. James Brown, OIL
Amits county, Mississippi, had two sons
By slave woman Of his own, whom. in
1850. be took to Cincinnati, and formally
emancipsted the mother and children
and subsequently, bought lands aid es
tsblishsd them on It in the State OF In
diana, where they still reside. on the
death of Brown, IN 1855. will was
found duly executed, directing his plan
taiion and negroes. in Mississippi, to be
sold, and alter paying bis debts, the bal
ance to be deposited In the Bank Of
Louisiana, subject to the drafts Of bis
two sons. by the slave woman. The suit
was to set aside the bequest on the
ground that the legatsss were incapable
of inhsrit;ng property in Mississippi;
that their emancipation was contrary to
the policy Of the State, illegal and void,
AMI if they were to return to the State,
the lsgatsss would be slaves in the eye
of the law. The Court held that the
act Of emancipation was made in good
faith and was valid; and that the lega
tees thereby became free and entitled to
hold property according to the laws oil
the State of Indiana, In the same man
ner and to the same extent with other
negroes in that State. Such an act oil
emancipation is not in contravention Of
the laws OF Mississippi, or against its
policy.
The Court further held that though
free negroes are not citizens Of the United
States, and though residence in Missis'
sippi is prohibited by positive law, ye'
they are neither aliens nor outlaws-bu'
are Inhabitants and subjects of the States
of this Union in which they reside, and
as such are entitled to all the rights
which those States see proper to confer
upon them; they are entitled to the en-
joyment of those rights in any Other
State Of the Union, as inhabitants of one
Of the United States, and under their
protection, unless their exercise should
be positively prohibited by. or be incom
patible with the laws and policy Of the
State in which they claim those rights
The Court declared the will to be
valid, and directed the Executor to pro.
coed in fulfillment Of the trusts therein
imposed upon him.
