Bg- The decision of the judges of the
st. Louis Fair, awarding the first prize to
Revenue in preference to Lexington, has
created some dissatisfaction among the low
ers of Lexington, and several matches be-
tween the blood of these two will probably
grow out of this feeling. gentleman in
Lexington, KY, whose name will be forth
coming at the proper time, proposes to name
the get of Lexington to beat the getof Rev
enue, for 50, 500 side, half forfeit, TO name
at the post, either mile or two mile heats
to be run over the Metair;e Course at New
Orleans during the April meeting of 1860,
or over the Woodland Course at Louisville
during the Spring Meeting of the same year.

g@y President Buchanan, July Z, lS4l,
then United States Senator, spoke as fol-
lows on the Bank question. If the Presi-
dent was Senator now, the bred Scott de-
cision would be held by him as of no more
binding force than a rope of sand
"Now, if it were not supplementary
language, and if did not desire to treat
all my friends on this Whig1 side of the
House with the respect which | feel for them
| would say that the idea of the question
having been settled so as to bind the con-
sciences Of members of Congress when voting
on the present bill is ridiculous and absurd
"Lf all the Judges and all the Laaoyers IN
ChriStendom had decided in the affirmative,
when the question is thus brought home to
one as a legislator, bound to vote for or
against new charter, upon oath to sup
port the Constitution, must exercise ny
OUn judgment. l would treat with profound
respect the arguments and opinions of
Judges and constitutional lawyers but if
after all, they fail to convince me that the
law was constitutional should be guilty of
perjury before high HeaUen if l voted in its
favor.
But even if the judiciary had settled the
question, l should never hold myself bound
by their decision while acting in legisIa-
tive character. Unlike the Senator from
Massachusetts,, (Mr. Bates,) 1 shall neUer
consent to place the liberties of the people in
the hands Of any judicial tribunal.
b" No man holds in higher esteem than
do, the memory of Chief Justice Marshall :;
but 1 should neUer hare consented to make
epen him the final drbiter 6etveen the Govern-
naent and the people Of this country on CUES
tons Of constitutional liberty"

Bay To-day, John Brown pays the pen
atty of his crimes against the Common
wealth of Virginia, with his life. That he
is prepared to do this with dignity and
calmness, no one who is acquainted
with the history of the man will deny
That he thinks he dies martyr to
glorious cause, is equally certain
He undoubtedly believes that his blood
will be the seed of the cause for which
he SO freely sheds it, and will step upon the
scaffcld the calmest man of sll the vast
crowd who will witness his execution
Death, to him, will be no punishment-nor
will his untimely end prove any antidote
against similar undertakings. The same
elements that make up the character of
John Brown, will work out the same re-
suits, and cause the same hair-brained I'M
dertakings by any individual in whom they
may chance again to unite. FanaticaI ora
tors, like Phillips, Garrison, and others, who
preach what they lack the courage to prac-
tice, we fear will make Browns execution
a text from which to deliver sermons that
will stir up other Browns to more rash un-
dertakings than that of Harper's Ferry
This is to be regretted by every lover of his
country, but 1t is much easier to mourn
over the difficulty than suggest a remedy.
He who will be able to devise some means
by which the dread question that is now
shaking the country from center to circum-
factory to all concerned, will merit and re-
ceive the title of the saviour of his country
in her EXTREMIST PERIL

p6y- The States and Union newspaper,
whose efforts to excite mob to destroy the
National Era and Washington Republic
newspapers, are known to our readers has
been directing its energies in another chan
mel, and seemingly with better success. It's
mad appeals to the prejudices of the sland-
ers in Washington, have been the cause of
exciting discussions, in one of which, DR..
Breed, formerly an examiner in the Patent
Office, gave utterance to language which the
States termed "incendiary," and meriting
arrest. The DR.. was arraigned before Justice
Dom, and required to give security in the
sum of two thousand dollars 20 keep the
peace.
This is a decided intimation to men of free
soil proclivities, that Washington City, the
Capitol of the nation, and supported in a
great measure by the free States, is not the
proper place for them to express their opin-
ions in regard to the inst.sution of Slavery.
Whatever they may think, their lips must
preserve silence lest something may escape
them that will prove incendiary."
A Dutohman chastised his boy for using
profane language, and the boy retired to a
corner to brood over the, indignity he had
suffered. "Shon, what dat you say p ex-
claimed the old man, Indignantly cycling his
pouting son. 81 didn't say nothing
Well, if you didn't say noting, you thinks
damn, and whip you for dat and the un-
lucky juvenile catches it a second time.
Our Southern friends seem animated with
the spirit of the old Dutchman, and are i'm
putting sentiments to the Northerners, wheth-
er they be expressed or not. We expect,
soon, to hear of the arrest of some poor ge-
MUS on the charge of thinking incendi-
arism."
Seriously, affairs are eliminating rapidly,
| when a man in Washington City-the cap
\ ital of the freest nation on the face of God g
green earth, as our Fourth of July orators
| eloquently term it's arrested for express
| ing an opinion.with reference to any depart
ment of our Government, or any of our
nstitutions-domestie or otherwise. The
excuses of the Virginians are overlooked.
They are in a state of great excitement, and
not without reason. But when these ex-
ceases are carried to the national capital,
and men are deprived of the liberty of
speech, we think, with Attorney Mcdonald,
it is time that the capital is moved on to free
soil.

BgS- The article in the Enquirer of We'd
nesday evening, which sets forth an alleged
deficiency in regard to our manufacturing
enterprises, and draws comparison between
Evansville and Cannelton, or Mound City
though doubtless emanating from good
will toward the place. and desire to en-
nance that department of our domestic
economy-is, nevertheless, calculated to
create an unfavorable impression abroad.
For it may be set down as pretty well es-
tablished, that when an inland town Of
twenty-five or thirty years growth, in a
country, the resources of which are al least
all known, and yet has attracted no
manufacturing enterprise, unless it pos
sess extraordinary commercial advantages,
such as will make it a centrepot of trade,
beyond all competition, there must be but
very little to attract the capitalist, and but
little hope of obtaining anything beyond
mediocrity in point of size or general i'm
portance; and, as the statements contained
in that article are not in accordance with
the facts as they exist, we would be de-
relict in our duty should it he suffered to
pass without correction. The fact is, no
other city west of Cincinnati exhibits as
great a degree of energy, in proportion to

fected in spite of the impraeticables. Should
Mr.. Sherman not go through, rally may
be made on Corwin. The latest Democratic
programme is Bocock for Speaker, Allen
for Clerk, and Banks, Of Cincinnati, for
Printer,
The States, Douglas organ, strongly
backs up Bocock This is regarded as the
strongest combination that party can
bring. Ea
Senior Mator credits Doblado's reported
defeat, but has not received conhrmatory
advices.
1t is believed that the Nicaragua route
will not be opened, as Vanderbilt has bought
up the Pacific Company.
We have later statement, to the effect
that Boteler has determined, while opposing
the Republican candidate, not to vote for
the Democratic one, and that Vance, Of
North Carolina, has indicated a similar de-
termination.
1t is so near the election that speculations
now are useless.
The impression gains ground that there
will be full, free, and dispasslonate confer
ence of the Opposition, at which everything
will be quietly settled and arranged. 1t is
said that the President, initiating his former
example, will, in case of long contest for
Speaker of the House, send in his message
to the Senate, 30 as not to keep the Senate
waiting.
The annual statement of Mr.. Cobb, which
is not yet completed, will, l think, show the
necessity of return to a higher tariff as
the present one does not and cannot yield
q sufficient revenue.
The President will strongly urge, in his
message, immediate measures for the relief
of the Post Office Department.
The statement that the French had COM
menced hostile operations against Mexico is
a canard.
ValIandingham, of Ohio, Is here, and
says all the Ohio men will be at their posts
on Monday next. OF course they sustain
he regular candidates throu ghout.
