a poor, Ignorant negro died the other day
IN 81. Louis, just hundreds Of other poor,
ignorant negroes die every day. But this
one had. without possessing any heroic quail
ities, become historical, and his name will
be handed down to posteriiy. il is neither
glory nor infamy that gives him immortality /
Cain, Judas, Arnold, Burr will forever be
known in history, no; less than the great
and noble huructers that were their moral
antipodes But Dred Scott was not great in
. ny sense. He was not q hero nor was he
a knaye- He was, until lately, a simple
minded slave, who had no idea Of cutting a
figure in the world. Something like blind
chance made him the representative of
principle, and thus he became an object OF in
terest to the whole American people, and To
the intelligent lovers of freedom in other
lands.
In the highest Judicial tribunal of the u.
s. Dred Scott rose, with his black skiA aAd
coarse African features, to something of the
dignity Of hero-martyr. It wa. upon his
case that majority OF the Supreme Judges
pronounced the startling decision that Con-
gress had no right to forbid slavery in the
Territories, and that o slave remains u
slave If he be :aken to the EXTREMIST north
ern limits OF Oregon or Washington. They
Completed and carried TO perfection the
wrong done by the repeal of the Missouri
CoEnpranaise act. They declared that all
the vast ysca mt domain where our future
commonw ea lth is to be erected is consecrn-
ted 10 slavery, and can only be absolved by
series of struggles thas may conynlse the
xatjos and eHaaBger the Union, rs eaeh
new State applies Tor admission. Violating
all civilization by forced, unnatural and
barbarous caAstEactiez Of the Constitution,
it gave to slavery the sa aiage ground in the
Tersitores; establishing It and foTtifyiHg it
IS the Fshsg power, that mast be combatted
and subdueG before freedon and fee Labor
can bold up their heads.
The nation has not yet received from the
modification it suffered By that noAsirons
decree of the United STATES SapseMe Ceaft.
St can never recover the eOAfide nee il once
felt in the purity, the wisdom and freedom
from partizan influences of the Judges com
posing that Court, until time and Pro-
vidence shall have h<onght new, wiser and
better men upon the bench. The principles
OF the Dark Ages have been solemnly adop-
ted by Court tha: was presumed to be the
purest source OF ustice on earth. II will
take time and faith and energy to blot out
this stain from our national character
tn meanwhile, poor, humble Dred Scott has
been removed to sphere where, even in
violation of the decition of the United
States Supreme Court. there can be no
slavery Bulletin.

Mr.. Conwell, one of the editors of the
Ohio E.gIe. pub lished at Lancaster, has
thrown up his position of chief clerk to Col.
MedilI. the comptroller OF the Treasury at
Washington, and returned to the tripod. =
He gives, as his reasons for so doing, what
might DO probably used by many other
young men of talents in Washington, who
are living lives of drudgery in the teveral de-
partments. and as little known to the W ord,
whatever their merits and capacities, as the
drum ol cog mill. Young men--who look
upon cierkship at Washington as fortune
made and eminent DISTINCTION gained
should heed and hear what he says:
We return With feelings Of pleasure to the
chair editorial, after an absence of one year
A year in the public service, ut Washington,
has had tho effect of convincing US that the
private station is the post Of honor. pleasure,
aud profit; and We quit public office gladly
voluntarily. aud without single regret at the
loss of its hUnors or emoluments.
1t seems strange that there should be such
a fascination in these positions at Washing-
ton Tor the young men of our country. When
obtained they are but living graves,in which
the occupant buries his hopes, his ambition
aud his energies. No matter how brilliant
how intelligent, how industrious, he becomes
metamarphosed into the tread mill horse
pursuing daily the same weary, never chang
ing round, until death sets him free. Nc
matter how energetic, the weary routine oi
official life lays crushingly upon his nergies
aud aspirutious.
1t is enough to say that such n life did
not suit us. and that we could nor. while
young and in health, sell out our future for
an annuity Of $4,000 per year, at the will OF
changing political dynasties.
