Mr.. Thomas Winstanley, Of Adrisn City,
Michigan, came down from Plsttsmouth on
the Iatan, last Sunday evening, and came in
to our ONCE yesterday, to make true state
msnt Of the condition Of things in the gold
mines Of Cherry Greek from which be had
just returned.
He and four others left st. Joseph on the
Sd day Of March, with an ox-team and we're
twenty nine days on the road to Denver City.
After reaching Denver City, they passed sew
snteen days in prospecting, and their sxani-
nation extended over region Of country 6fty
miles along the base OF the mountain, and
twenty miles north and south. The richest
deposit that they could find in Ill that range,
yielded not quite four cents per day, to the
hard labor Of four men, who fixed . sluice
2O2 feet long, and used quicksilver, and all
other appliances to increase the quantity.
Mr.. Winstanley said he saw about one han
dred and Fifty men at work, and the largest
yield that hs could hear Of il the mines, vas
Is cents per day. There was much dsstitu-
ton in tho mines, and many persons we're
begging their way back to the States. Some
were found dead on tho road, who were sup
posed to have died from starvation. Mr..
Winstanlsy was in OalifoRnia three years,
and made money there, and hs says he feels
bound to give these statements TO the public
that no more persons may be led BY false
hopes to undergo all that he has endured in
going TO, and coming from, the mines.-lSt.

The lliussrious Dead ON Dred scots.
In response TO the Journal We showed that
the Supreme Court had, by their decision, ex-
tended tho Constitution Of the United States
over the Territories, and declared that
that Constitution expressly affirmed and
protected tho owner in his right Of property
in his slaves. And we referred to the seps-
rate opinions Of the Judges and to the ex-
press declaration OF the President TO the
same effect, and to the unanimous endorse
ment Of the Dred SCOTT decision BY the Dem
ocratic party. We propose now to quote
from three Of the most illustrious statesmen
and most eminent Constitutional lawyers Of
the past generation, in the most emphatic
condemnation Of the principle Of the Dred
Scott decision.
Thomas H. Benton, the most illustrious Of
the leaders Of the old jackson Democracy,
and who Was indeed the great oracle Of the
party till his influence Was broken dewn by
the slavery propagandists under the lead Of
Calhoun, wrote during his last days on earth
review Of tho bred Scott opinion, from
which We make the following extracts. He
says the Court attempts "by judicial de-
cision to override tho action Of two genera
tions, virtually inserts new clause in the
Constitution, changes ito character, and
makes new point Of departure in the work
ing Of the Federal government"
And again:
toThe Court sets ont with . fundame ntal
mistake, which pervadss its entire opinion
and 10 tho parent OF its portentous errors
That mistake 10 in the assumption, that th,
Constitution extends TO Territories 90 we'll q
10 States, and includes these infant settle
ments in the provisions made for sovereigl
States. We'll do remember the day-and i
] had forgotten il, parliamentary histor.
would preserve ito msmory--when view o
ishsd vision Of the American Senate"
Mr. Benton then goes on to state the cir
eumstancss under which the following amend
nent Wa made TO certain bill pending i
the United States Senate in tho session 0
l64S and 40:
stThs Constitution OF the United States
and al and singular the several ACTS Of Con
&TooU A0V~USIUluk SucmJ uo, anu t00 sam
hereby, are sxtsnded over and given full
force and slkoacy in tho said territories.'
He says that the introduetinn Of the amend
mont called Mr.. Webster TO his feet, who de
nounced the idea - IN "impossible absurd
ity."
Webster, the great Expousdsr Of the Cor
sti.ution, in reply to Calhoun, the great Nu
LITER, argued:
1.-THE Consultation, - the gentleman cor
tends, extends over tho Territories Ho,
does Il get there? an surprised to hear

would be precisely the same il done by
State Law, or State constitution, q IL done
BY an act Of Congress. Tho damage would
be the same, and the insult GREATER, because
| done BY : single State, and young one fresh
from the territorial condition, and setting ct
defiance the rights Of al the old slave States
to which il might owe its existence. The
case would CRY equally for the Interpolation
OF tho Supreme Court, and il would be = case
in which the court would have Z clear right
to intsrpose. For the Constitution Of the
United States 10 supreme over State eonsti-
tntions, State laws, and State judisiariss. It.
overridss them oil wherever il goes and 70
ing into the new State with the same right
and duty to protect persons and property in
the enjoyment Of common right with which
it had entered the territory, the same remedy
would require to be given Tor the same wrong.
And there would be no taking position upon
State rights; for no State has any right to do
any thing contrary to the Constitution. The
argument Of the Court proves too much and,
pushed to its legitimate conclusions, would
invalidats State constitutions and laws @
readily - il does acts Of Congress, there be-
ing no difference in the right TO 70 and to

Like some of his illustrious contemporaries the editor of the Buffalo Post has beeH very violent at times, in deuuncation of the Cen tral Railroad He desired 10 go East, and he honght it would be very convenient to be bribed with pass Expressing his thoughts to a friend, he remarked, that if he had not been SO violent towards the road, he supposed he might get the coveted pass. His friend assured him that if he would apply to Dean Richmond he would be accommodated, which the editor thought preposteroas; but after consideration he concluded to make the at tempt. He accordingly called on Mir R. and the following conversation ensued, the report ofwhich we find in the Syracuse Journal:
 " Mir. Richmond, said the editor, " I am go- ing east, and have called to see if you cal accommodate me with pass
 " Certainly sir, certainly sir; with the great est of pleasure, said Mir R, and he proceed ed to fill out the pass
 The little card was handed to the editor, who expressing his thanks, glanced over it, and saw that it only passed him to Albany, with no provision for his return.
 Mir. Richmond,' said the editor, very mod estly, ' l see this only passes me to Albany l intend to return-."
 " The deuce you do !' said Richmond, seizing the pass. Intend to return, eh Cant have any pass from me, thenl" And he tore the pass into pieces.
