a tricc, those same sticklcrs for principle who
can rcnouncc right and neglect duty for 'rea-
sons Of policy" can easily discover that their
recent ':policy"is 1.-THE intangible p%unctilio Of
politicians.
Let us revert. in a few sentences, to the chief
topic, ri est. that the owner Of 4 slave, having
a right to carry his slave into a territory, has
n right to keep that slave there as property in
the new State. II is well settled by the uni
form decisions of the courts. that a State can
not, either by an ordinary legislation, or by pro.
vision in its organic act, interrupts vested right.
because such interruption Of such a right
would be in conflict with the Federal ConStitu-
ton, wherein it provides that no State shall
pass a law impairing the obligation of the con-
tracts" The weight and strength Of that
jndicial doctrine and this Constitutional policy,
which have become a political principle, arc
seen and felt By the advocates Of ~iree.soil as to
our territorial possessions. as Il barrier to their
claim of right TO exclude slavery. By the pro-
tccting potency Of this principle, which is ap-
pretended by the Free %soilers. a territory in
the transactions lifting il into a State, mar by
an net Of the States Legislature, can put m
end to slavery, nor by restrictive measures
force it out. Percciving and approaching all
thu, the Frec-SoilerS seek to overlap the bar.
ricr, by asserting that the Federal Constitu-
ton is not by the act OF Congress organizing a
territory extended over it. The opinion of
Chief Justice fancy. and the concurring opin-
ions Of the majority of that court, are nothing
worth in their estimation.
Now, for the sake Of the argument, let it be
granted that an opinion Of the judges of a court
expressed in deciding a point and getting rid
Of a decision on the merits aside of which that
opinion or o5iter dietnm is expressed. when
not judicially applying to the case, is not to be
resorted to as authority and binding, and how
then stands the point under considerations .
The free so,lers are left to the sorry resort that
before that opinion was expressed in Scott 70.

The Aerial Ship Atlantic.

For some months past the veteran nronaut
Mr.. Wise, has been constructing an immense
balloon with which to make a voyage across the
Atlantic. He announced his purpose. however,
first, before making this voyage, to make AERIAL
trips from st. Louis to New York, and then from
San Francisco to ST. Louis. His first experi-
ment has already been made and proved sue
cessful. On the lst of July, at quarter to one
o'clock, P. NJ, accompanied by three gentlemen,
he left st. Louis, in the presence of cloud of
witnesses" numbering $4,000. At o'clock on
the morning of the I'd, the "Atantic" was seen
passing six miles north of Fort Wayne at 7:3O
P. M. it passed Sandusky, only three persons
visible, papers dropped in the lake, the name on
the balloon distinctly visible; at $50 A. NJ, it
passed Fairport, twenty miles east of Cleveland;
at 1918, P. NJ, it passed Niagara Falls very low,
bound east, and going very fast; at o'clock,
p NJ, it landed at North Adams, Jefferson coun-
ty, N. Y. No further particulars received before
the departure of the overland mail.
We yet expect to see the day, if we live a
quarter of a. century longer, when the air will
be navigated by arial passenger ships with as
much safety as are eur rivers and oceaas q

Shasta Co., July 80, 1859.
To TRUSTEES AND TEACHERS: =
have been instructed by the State Superiu-
tendent of Public Instruction, that whenever the
funds belonging to district are exhausted, to
inform the trustees and teachers Of the fact, and
draw no more warrants in their favor.
The district can, if it pleases, then raise what.
ever additional funds may be needed for the
maintenance ofits school by rote-bill, or under
the operation of the law authorizing the levyine
of special tax for school purposes by a vote of
the people.
All the districts except No. 3, No. and No.
have used the money to their credit in addi-
ton to the amount raised by subscription, up to
the time of the June semi-annual apportion-
tment.
shall strictly adhere to these instructions
and continue to enforce this rule under all cir
cumstances, till forbidden by higher authority.
believing that justice demands that the several
districts must support the schools from the rev.
enue of the current year; if this cannot be done
they should suspend. Better make each year
provide for itself than exhaust the resources of
years to come for present necessities. The on
Grafton of schools must be brought down TO a
cash basis, and it is only by rigid adherence
to the system here recommended that this can
be done, and schools kept up in successful oper-
alton. GROVE K. GODFREY.

before the audience had even an opportunity 10
expel the person who had disturbed him. AT
the very moment of his leaving, the crowd were
vociferously crying go on go on !" "we want
to hear you speakp We cannot but regret the
Governors exceeding sensitiveness and exceed
ing precipitancy. Whatever may have been the
motive of the person whe gave utterance to the
offensive expressions, we are quite sure that
Governor Weller never addressed more quiet
crowd of men, or one that exhibited more posi-
tive and marked good feeling toward him.
1t will ofcourse go forth to the world that the
Governor Of the State was not permitted to speak
in Shasta-that Shasta audience insulted him.
But more unmitigated slander was never pub
lished by the lying lips OF Madam Rumor The
most that can be said is, that several men in the
crowd disturbed or insulted him, and that the
Governor left the stand before the audience
could make an effort to remove or quiet the dis
turbers. But, on the other hand, did not Gov
Weller insult the several hundreds of ladies and
gentlemen present, who had assembled to hear
him, by abruptly leaving the stand, because of
expressions made by several men who did not
wish TO hear him? Is not this unhappy, not to
say ridiculous occurrence, susceptible of beiug
looked at from two points of view?
Subsequent to the Governor leaving Messrs
Hare and Dosh made few remarks, when, on
motion, the meeting adjourned, and the crowd
