Scott decision an idle form, therefore,
with the CHARACTERISTIC inconsistency Of
locofocoism, that party repudiated their
favorite doctrine Of non-interyention, and
demands Of Congress direct intervention
TO remedy the evils likely to result from
their surrender to the North. of the prin
ciples upon which rests the security OF
southern institutions. Non-interyention
is worthless because squatter sovereignty
gives to the territorial Legislature abb
solute sovereignty over slavery; and the
bred Scott decision is worthless because
squatter sovereignty can effectually emas-
culnte it by mastery inactivity. These
are the Legitimate results of southern con-
cessions to northern fanaticism; and now,
to cap the climax of impudence and folly,
the South demands congressional interven-
ton not that it hopes to obtain it, but
because it is pretext for the continued
agitation Of slavery, the cessation of which
can only follow the downfall of the contemp-
tible demagogues who make political capital
by Sacrificing the rights of the South and
the peace of the whole country.

who make the protcc ton, by Congress, of
slavery in the Territories, test of party.
The question should be, not whether party
can sustain itself upon that test, but
whether the test is true one. If so, it
should beapplied withoutregard to the pros
pect of success. But southern democrats
who now abandon the doctrine of uncon-
ditional non-intervention, and threaten to
apply that test, do so, not with the ex-
pectation of succeeding, but with the hope
of widening the breach between the North
and the South, and thus paving the way for
an early secession. Honest men can not
thus readily discard principle with any
honest motive; and the fre-eaters, who
control the action of the South, are the
men who kindle the frebrands which their
easy dupes brandsh to tho imminent peril
Of the Union, They contended for non
Intervention, and got it, and now they are
contending for Intervention, without even
a wish to obtain it,

Bog In some of the school districts, in
the city of New York, the voters believing
that foreign catholics are superior to
native protestants, elected the former
school commissioners, and they expelled
the Bible from the schools under their
control. The movement has created much
excitement, and public meetings are be.
ing held for the purpose of expressing in.
dignation at conduct so at variance with
the spirit of our people. The foreign
catholics are not to blame for what they
have done they have acted up to their
views and teachings, and if the people OF
their Districts choose to elect them, let the
blame rest upon the voters who are SO
partial to everything fareign as to be will
ing to place in forein hands their religion
and government-thcir national prosperity

ray The belligerent attitude Of some
Virginia editors, we are sorry to say, does
not give promise of determination. o.
Jennings Wise had scarcely disposed of
his difficulty with Clemens, before he was
embroiled with Charley Irving, and now
the editors of the Lynchburg Virginian
and of the Republican are finging dirt at
each other, and threatning "coffee and
pistols for two" Now, if editors will
quarrel and fight, let them do it; but we
insist that they have no right to obtrude
their quarrcls upon the public, and to dis
grace themselves by indulging in language
that should only be heard in obscene
localities. Their position gives them no
right to outrage the proprietics of social
life, by the publication of the vile epithets
they choose to apply to each other, nor
are they of such vast consequence to the
world that their quarrels should excite a
higher degree of interest than pertains to
those of moro obscure and more modest
individuals. IF they will quarrel, let it
be in some back room, or alley, and if they
will fight, let them do tquietly, and when
done, let it pass off quictly-the columns
of a newspaper is no place for their quar-
rels nor for accounts of their fights; and
we honestly believe there would be less of
both, but for the notoriety given to scenes
Of strife which shame should conceal under
an impenetrable veil.

that the Convention of the opposition to

friends of that Convention-t to meet in the

from Montgomery, Stewart, Robertson,

prove satisfactory to the District.

Dar Our neighbor thinks we have failed
to make it appear that the Wilmot proviso
was democratic measure. We differ with
him, and believe we have proven it so far
as anything, save plumber, can be a demo-
cratic measure. That party differs about
banks, tariff, internal improvement, seces-
sion, fllibustering, and the devil only
knows what besides, and no matter what
may be charged as democratic, some one
faction of that incongruous whole can
safely deny that it is democratic, so far as
that faction is concerned. So it is with
the Wilmot proviso; SO it is with the

the whole, nor viii It pay the reader to
perusc it. The President defends his
course onthe Kansas question, and recon
mends the passage Of general law re-
curing all territories, before admission, 70
have population which will entitle them
to Representative under the general APP
portionment. He speaks ofthe importance
Of keeping open the Nicaragua route, and
urges the Importance Of pressing our
claims against Costa RIGA. He says Cuba
ought to belong to us, and advises i'm
mediate steps for its purchase. He re-
afirms his opinions in favor of specific
duties, but submits the whole question to
Congress, denying the agency of the tariff
in the commercial revulsion He recon.
mends military stations in Sonora and
chihuahua, and the taking possession OF
as much of northern Mexico as will ensure
indemnity for the past and security for
the future-regarding Mexico as no gov
eminent at all, These are some of the
points in the Message, but we have no

citizens. He was young man of talents
of high order, and of unimpeachable
moral character, and was beloved and re-
spected by all who knew the many and
noble virtues which adorned his private
and public life. The death of such man
leaves a void not easily filled.
