party, on account of its abolition affinties. but

too hxedly that it is moral, social, and politi-

is DRIED SCOTT TO BE REPUDIATED ?

The Augusta (Me.) Age. the central organ of
the Maine Democracy, after quoting the resolu-
tons adoptedat the recent Maryland State Con-
vention, adds
" The Maryland Democracy had better run
bred Scott for the Presidency, and test the
popularity of that juridical monstrosty before
the American publel''
Now, we wish to have distinct understand
ing on this point. Do the Democracy of Maine
repudiate the bred Scott decision? Do they
dissent from the doctrine laid down by all re-
cent Democratic " authorities, that the Su-
preme Court is the supreme arbiter of constitu-
tional questions, and that its decisions must be
cOnformed to by the Executive and Legislative
departments? Mr.. Buchanan announced this
idea in his inaugural, and it was re-echoed from
Maine to Texas. If, however, the Maine De-
mocracy have been brought to see that it is un.
sound that it is the essence of Federalism. and
that it was secuted by the old Jeh'ersonian Re-
publicans, one and all, we shall be glad to know
the fact But we protest against the temporary
denial of the faith of the National Democra
cy by the Maine Democrats, on the eve of an
election, in order to avoid its odium If the
Maine Democracy are determined to dethrone
bred Scott finally and forever, we shall rejoice
TO know the fact, and shall hail it as a sign of
returning health and vitality. But there can
be but one certain evidence of their reclamation
from their Federal heresies, and that is, an ey
! Phcit remuneration of all connection with the
men who support it. The Maine Democrats
must know that Mr.. Buchanan is not the only
leading man of the party who acknowledges
the authority of bred Scott. Mr.. Douglas is
as deep in the mire the President; and to
| support Mr.. Douglas for the Presidency while
he occupies his present position, is to support
what the Age designates as a "juridical mon.

THE REVIEW

The Roman Question BY Edmond About New YORK
d AppIeIon& Co For sale by raylOrS Maury, Penn
avenue
The author of this little work has long been
known to the novel reading community as bril-
liant and entertaining writer. But in " La Greco
Contemporaries and the present work ne has
won more enduring laurels.
In The Roman Question the author en-
tiers into thorough and searching examination
of the Government of the Papal States, and
holds up with unsparing hand the various
abuses practiced at Rome and throughout the
Popes dominions. The picture OF the deprav-
ity and corruption of the Papal System is most
graphically drawn, and the Roman Hierarchy
is shown in all its native ugliness. 1t is not
too much to say that this is the most entertaining
and instructive book yet written on the Italian
question, and we can cordially commend it to
our readers.
The Romance Poor Young Man By Octave Feuil-
let New York. Rudd Car.eton For sale by Frsnek
Taylor, Washington, ID. C.
A young man of noble birth has an extrava-
CANT father, who dies and leaves him penniless,
with sister, much younger than himself, to
support. The sister is placed in a convent and
the young man under an assumed name be-
comes bailif to wealthy family in Brittany.
In this family is beautiful girl of seventeen,
the heiress of the house. And now the affec-
tions come into play. We have case of con.
cealed love, with all the usual concomitants-
little fghting-sOme sweet speeches, and
great many sOliloquies--to end, of course, in
marriage.
But this happy consummatiou comes only
when the young man has, by almost a miracle,
come TO the possession of all estate more than
equal to that of the young heiress. This event
rs the moral Of the story, if it can be said to
have one. Business must be considered in
every proper marriage, even by writers OF ro
nance. The fundamental idea of a French
marriage is equality of fortune; and, unfortu-
nately for the happiness of mankind, that idea
is HQt peculiar TO France. The book is an
amusing one, and serves very well to beguile
an idle hour

THE ELECTIONS.


Elections took place in several of the South
ern States on the lst and 4th instant. Our in
formation as to the result is still qnite imper-
feet, but we give such as has come to hand.
An election took place in Oregon, also, on
the 18th of last mouth, of which we have just
received the first intelligence. Two statements
have been telegraph from Jefferson city and St.
Louis, of the result, the first indicating the
probable success of Stout, the sham Democratic
candidate, while the more specific statement
furnished by the Associated Press is that
Logan, the Republican candidate, is elected by
thirty majority.
Kentucky.-The result in Kentucky indicates
gain of two members by the Opposition, but
the election Of the sham Democratic candidate
Tor Governor by large majority, with some
thirty majority in the Legislature. This will
secure the election of Democratic Senator to
succeed Mr.. Crittenden.
TsHnessee.-In Tennessee, the sham Demo
Gratis elect Harris Governor by reduced bu5
still large majority. They also claim the State
Legislature. The Opposition have carried
six seven Of the ten members of the House
Of Representatives. Etheridge, who offered the
resolution denouncing the slave trade, IS said
to be elected.
North Carolina.-North Carolina only elected
Members of Congress. The Opposition have
probably gained two members. Gilmer, who
opposed Lecompton, is reelected by large
majority, although he had Wing as well as a
Democratic competitor.
AiabGma.-In Alabama the Black Democra-
cy beat their Black Opponents out of sight.
Teras.-From Texas it is reported that Cen
eral Houston is probably elected Governor over
Runnels, the regular nominee of the Black De-
mocracy.
Nissoui.-An election took place in St.
Louis on the LIST instant, for the election of va
rious municipal officers and two members of
the Legislature The Republicans united with
the Americans, and carried four-6fths of their
ticket by fifteen hundred majority. For some
local reason, three of the candidates put on the
Republican or Peoples ticket are Democrats,
and consequently elected with the others.

A CARD.

1t is due to the subscribers of the National
Era to state that the paper viii continue to be
edited and published under the provision made
by its late editor and proprietor, in view of his
intended absence in Europe.
The Era viii remain true to the principles it
has always advocated. Writers of eminent
ability viii contribute to its editorial columns.
Its literary department will be placed in able
hands, and no effort viii be spared to make the
paper nearly as possible what it has always
been.
The value of the National Era as the repre-
sentative of free principles at the National Cap
ital and to the family of its late editor their
only available means of support, makes it my
imperative duty to continue its publication
without interruption.

A wall from the temple Of Freedom,
Where IaboIed the toiler hearted;
A mourning from brave hearts arising,
But rot for the noble departed
We may mourn for one false to the promise
OF youth, that the worlds breath has biighied
For lie structures crnmbled and br' ken,
Souls darkened, 10 more 10 he lighted.
We may mourn for one fallen forever;
Lost truth, wasted lives, darkened vision;
But for one only gone homeward,
Not for him who fulfilled the life mission
Can we mourn for the honored, the noble,
Who passed with his manhood untsin,ed?
Who strong in the strength ofthe Father,
Not once in the weary way faintedf
Who unwavering stood in the conflict,
Fesrlessly errors shrines shattered,
silently. irustiIIgly, hrsvely.
Truths seeds er the wilderness seaiteredt
Whose life was anthem uprising,
Whose echoes the world shall Lush never;
Calling as onward and upward,
IL shall live and swell onward forever.
We may mourn but not for the freed one,
Who Fl, m daybreak TO morning passed only ;
Mourn for the place he left vacant,
Mourn Tor The loved ones left lonely
Shall the life song he chanied grow fainter,
And die in the tumuli weary?
Shall his footsteps be lost in the darkness,
When night DER The valley hes dTearyl
No; for great hearts ia the life march,
Where darkest The shadows are lying,
Shall note BY mole, answer that chorus,
Shall in deeds give an ecnO undyipg.

URdimmed in the dreaFie,t even,

Reaching up from vision 10 Heaven
A thousand souls crop ng in darkness,
A thousand lives bhndly bowed lowly,
Shell ascend by the light of those footprints,
To liies fas shining SUBMITS aud holy
Then honor the noble departed,
Net dead, only higher aset nded;
Gone as a victor goes homeward
Crowned, for the conflict is ended

the anniversary of West India characterization.

that these annual celebrations will become

confronting the stereotyped falsehoods of the
