The Baltimore Imcrjcdm gives the follow
ing report of heavy marble contract for the
new State Capitol at Columbia:
1t is well known that Mr.. Ncirnsec, for
merly of Messrs. Nernseo & Nelson, ar
chitccts of this city, received the appoint
mcnt of experimenting the State House,
now in cOuse of erection at Columbia, S.
g., which promises to excel, in many re-
spccts, any building of it's kind in the Uni
ted States. Mr. Ncirnscc has been cncao-
ed on the work for about three years, and
his management gives great satisfaction. -
1t is gratifying to state that Mr.. Hugh
SiSsion has recently entered into contract
with the building committee for the sup
ply of u large amount of marble work, much
of which is already in hands The draw
ings have been received, and are executed
on the best style of the art. 1t is worthy
of remark that the heavy contracts for sim
liar work for the South are invariably exc
cutcd here with more dispatch than at the
North, whilst the style of work and quality
OF material cannot be surpassed. In order
to complete the contract with all possible
dispatch, the enterprising contractor has
one hundred feet in length, which affords
space and light for the workmcn OF the
many hundred pieces of carved work to be
supplied, we may particularly mention one
which is designed as cornice for one of
the principal entrances This block is
fifteen feet in length, three in width, and
weighs eight tons. All the blocks are of
Italian marble, and many of them will be
elaborately carved.
HANDSOME BLoCK.-The WASHINGTON

beautiful block of stone. This is substan-

THE NATIONAL ERA: WASHINGTON D. c. NOVEMBER TO- 1859

Slavery; and the Enquirer, going beyond its
previous demands, insists that Slavery must be
protected in the States as well as Territories.
This new dogma of Congressional protection
to Slavery in the States is deliberately put
forth in the organ of Governor Wise. Whether
it will be insisted on at Charleston, and be en-
grated on the platform of the party, we will not
undertake to predict; but its announcement in
the leading Democratic journal of the South is
significant fact, and clearly indicates the tend
ency of Southern politics. OF one thing there
is now little question, viz: that the South win be
unit in the demand of Congressional protection
to Slavery in the Territories as well as in the re-
pudiation Of the Senator from Illinois.

RESTORATION OF THE MISSOURI
COMPROMISE.

The NeU York Herald, which supported the
Kansas-Nebraska bill, and like other friends of
that measure insisted that the exclusion of
Slavery from the Western Territories by the
Missouri Compromise was unconstitutional, and
should be repealed, turns about, with charac.
teristic disregard of consistency, and suggests
the re-enactment of that restriction The
Herald has always been on the side of Sla-
very-the only point upon which it has been
consistent; and it now proposes this ridicu-
lous peace-ofering, from a consciousness that
the repeal of that Compromise has utterly
broken down the old parties, and injured the
cause of Slavery propagandism. But the edit
or OF that paper seems TO lose sight of the
fact, that the triumph of Freedom in Kansas
has secured every foot of soil to free labor,
which the Missouri Compromise included. ex-
eept half degree, or thirty miles in width
The Compromise line was on the parallel of
$50 30>, while the southern line of free Kansas
is on the 37th parallel. This little strip, ex.
tending from the Missouri frontier to the Rocky
Mountains, is all that the Missouri line if re-
stored, would add to free soil. A liberal con.
cesson this, to the outraged rights of free labor
The Nashville Banner, while admitting the
injustice and bad faith of the repeal of the
Compromise, is opposed to its restoration, lest
further agitation should ensue, and the South
should resort to its long-threatened and infalli-
BILE remedy for its wrongs real or imaginary,
viz: disunion. That journal expresses regret
that the ~ T. Herald has proposed the meas
ure, as its tendency will be to enlist the people
of the North in its favor The Banner may
as well be at ease on that point. The people
of the North, and the friends of Freedom
everywhere, understand the position Of affairs
too well to be imposed on by a miserable
mockery. They have no idea of conceding the
country south of go 30/ to Slavery. They
may not be able to exclude Slavery by Congress
sional enactment, while the Senate is against
them, but they can at least settle in the Terri
tories, and vote Slavery out as they have done
in Kansas. They are no believers in the alb
solute sovereignty of the Territories but they
insist that if Congress fails to perform its duty
in excluding Slavery, the people residing in
them, consulting their own interests, may of
right do so, before they form State Constitu-
ton.
If there ever was time when the restoration
of the Missouri line would have been an ac-
ceptable peaceofering, it is too late, now that
all the utility of that line has been secured by
the independent action of the people. 1t is mere
mockery to propose its restoration.

THE HARPER's FERRY FORAY.- ChdrlesfOlCH
NoUember 3-Ehe counsel in Browns case have
filed exceptions to the decision of the court re.
fusing the motion for an arrest of judgment,
and will carry the case to the Court Of Appeals
now in session at Richmond. Mr. Chiffon will
argue the case before that court. 1t may be
taken up in that court Immediately, but, if not
decided before the day fixed for the execution,
it is believed Gov. Wise will grant a reprieve.
The trial of Shields Green, alias Emperor
negro, is now going on. Mr.. Griswold appear
ed as his counsel. Judge Russell, of Boston,
is also on his way here to take part in the de-
fence Of the prisoners. In the remainder Of the
cases the same course will be pursued as in
those of Brown and Coppic. The prosecution
will prove their points, get verdict, and the
defence will move for an arrest Of Judgment
The decision of the Court of Appeals in Browns
case will thus settle the whole. 1t is beloved
that the court will sentence all the prisoners to
be hung on the same day.
In Cooks case, 1t is anticipated that a plea
Of guilty will be entered, and that he will make
certain revelations, upon the strength of which
a Communication of sentence will be sought
Stevens is still in dangerous condition
nothing but his amazing physical strength and
an iron constitution could have enabled him to
survive under wounds sufficient to kill three
ordinary men.
The excitement here is subsiding, though
strict military guard is still maintained, and
the trials of the remaining prisoners are not
expected to develop any new or interesting
points.

as to rout the Democracy. They say they will
not by any act of theirs do anything to give

MARYLAND ELECTION.

An election of certain State officers, together
with the Legislature and members of Congress,
came off in Maryland last Wednesday. In the
delegation to Congress the parties held their
own, each electing three members. In the
legislative election, the Democracy" have
gained ground, and it is said will have ma
jority Of twenty. But the large American ma
jority in Baltimore secures the State officers to
that party.
Baltimore was again the scene of rioting and
murder. Each party lays the blame of the dis
orders at the door of the other, and doubtless
both are right in this particular. The "Dem-
ocrats affect to be horrorstricken at the out
RACES of the Plug Uglies, and other rowdy
clubs, in the interest of the American party,
while they keep in their pay the same sort of
clubs, in all the cities Of the Union; and, with
out question, they were the first party in this
country to employ such instruments. We hold
Plug Uglyism in adherence, but we cannot
forget that the States Hose" a "Demo-
cratic" club of this city, which, during the
fall and winter Of 1857, "made night hideous 4"
in Washington by its murders and brutality,
was composed or led on by fellows holding Of
fee under the Administration. Neither are
we forgetful of the fact that President Buchan-
an deliberately appointed Isaiah Rynders Mar
shall of the southern district Of New York, in
consequence Of his services to the party" as
the leader of the Empire Club" That Club
was for years the terror of peaceable citizens in
New York, who dared not go 10 the polls and
vste, at the risk of being beaten or murdered
by Rynders and his rowdy gang. 1t is the
merest hypocrisy for party which set the ex-
ample of organizing rowdy clubs, to talk of law
and order. 1t is only the other day that the
organ of the Reform party in Baltimore, the
Sun, justified the brutal attack of Brooks upon
Mr.. Sumner, and ridiculed the misfortune of
the latter. With such organs, the Reform par
ty in Baltimore will in vain appeal to the world
for sympathy.
