The Wisconsin u. S. Supreme Court.

We are glad to see that Wisconsin
with moral courage that does her
honor, Is none the more prepared to
surrender her State Sovereignty, and
resolve her citizens into fugitive
slave posse, than if the bench of slave
holders who Illuminated aforetime the
bred Scott decision. had not told them
they must. The following resolutions
have passed their Detroit
Tribune.
/ The resolutions spoken of also passed
the Senate and were approved by the
Governor. 1t remains for the Electors
of Wisconsin to pass upon them at the
coming Judicial Election. William
Pitt Lynde, the Democratic nominee
for Supreme Court Judge, is the rep
resentative of the U. S. Supreme G, t,
and says, with them, to tie people of
this State, that they mast surrender
their State Sovereignty and yield i'm
plicit obedience to the Fugitive Slave
Act. On the other hand, Byron Paine
holds that act to be unconstitutional
and void, aud if the. people of this
State vote for Byron Paine, and thus
give the popular sanction to the opin-
ions which he holds, the Fugitive Slave
A It 'ciN ncver be enforced, or attempt
ed to be enforced, within the limits of
Wisconsin. No slave hunting posse
will ever pnllute the free soil Of Wis
consin> if the popular fat shall forbid
their coming hither. But let NJ. Lvnde
be elected; let the people ahiectiy sur
render their rights aaa recant their
opinions, and S!aye-hunting will be-
come a faror:te AMI profitable pastime
in the State.-IljE Sentinel

Sunhay Reahiug,
Crossing the Line.

a young landsman sailing into the
tropics hears much Of crossing the line
His heart tiutters with surmises and AN.
ticipatons. He imagines the line to be
some huge black mark on the surface of
the water and that he shall know the
moment Of passing it, as he knew the
moment of coming on, of his fathers
gate. lie hopes the ship will not cross
it in the night, for he means to be on, on
the PROV looking down rs she cuts her
ways through the mysterious boundary
between two hemrspheres. The captain
aud the man at the wheel are beset with
the question - when shall we touch
the liner while they smile in goodnatured
commiseration on ;he 9ues,ioners' verdan-
cy.
But in due time the air grows more
balmy, and headIands along the coas,
show n deeper verdure, the sun becomes
intolerable on deck, an occasional thun
rstorm gathers at evening and some
fine morning our Young Iandsman is
startled by the reply TO his usual ques-
ton.

versed. We make this brief notice of
the case, that the public may see how il
has been disposed Of and because the pa
pers of this and other States have com.
nen,ed much upon IT. The case was
called tor trial on Wednesday last, Hon.
Il. Munro presiding. Solicitor Reed rep
resentlng the State, aud Messrs Orr IL
Marshall appearing for the defendant.
The case being called, Mr.. Orr made a
motion to quash the Indictment, on the
ground that it was not An iGdic,able of
fence in South Carolina. He made brief
but able argument in support of his mo
ton, sustaining himself by reference to the
case oi commonwealth u.s. Samantha
hutchinson which was tried in the Sixth
Judicial District OF Pennsylvania, and
found in the American Law Register p.
ll3. The defendant in that case was
discharged on the ground "that the Of
fence Of common scolding is not indicta-
ble AS crime in Pennsylvania
Mr. Reed read from the books much
law TO sustain the indictment After ar
gument pro. and con. the following order
""H pa7scb
son hearing the motion in this case, it
is ordered that the indictment be ouashed
on the ground, that it is not AN indictar
ble offence, that portion OF the common
law relating to this offence being obso
lete in South CtroIina.'
We think that the thanks Of the ladies'
are certainly due the ex Speaker for his
able argument in defence OF woman, and
to the Court for wipiug on, the offence in
thus Stale. AS far rs WAS ascertained.
this is the third indictment that has ever
been preferred in the u. S. for the offence
Of scoldng, and we hope it will be the
last, for it is invading one of the deares,
rights Of woman, and is in truth an
a5ridgenent OF the liberty of speech in
tho farer sex. The tongue is their prin,
cipai weapon bo:h OF defence and offence
and, rs Irving has very facetiously said
it is the only edged tool that becomes
sharper by constant use.
