The Effect of the Recent DecisiOsT
of our Supreme Court.

The Republicans of the "irrepressible"
school, and that comprehends almost the
whole Of that party in the Legislature. are

by the Supreme Court on Tuesday, to the
effect that a person with less black than
white blood in his veins, is White, and enti.
tied to-yo:e,, and are already setting about to
prepare Legislation in harmony with the opih.
ion. The law prohibiting mulattoes from
voting will of course be repealed, and such
Legislation amendatory or the school law, as
will permit mulatto children to enter oul
common schools will be enacted. The
WHITE PEOPLE of Ohio will now hive sur.
felt of Republicanism, and Ohio will be sci
apart and assigned as the home and residence
OF all the pauper negroes of other States.-
Thus the majority OF the people Of Ohio have
been unfortunately led to confide in the Re.
publican party, and have invested it with
power and authority in this State, under the
supposition that they were opposing "the
extension of slavery into free Territory
now find that they have been instrumental
in placing in the legislative, executive and
judicial departments of the State Govern
ment, a body OF men, who are bent on break

between the white and black races in this

that if entrusted with al'the departments o.
the State Government, they would exercise
all their official functions to produce this

majority would have rejected them. Bu
the true objects and designs of the RepubIi

they have received from the hands OF the

moment. To suppose that they will tamel

A Change Of Name.

The party of isms in Pennsylvania, COM
monty called Republicans, held their State
Convention at Harrisburg, on the 22d inst
The Convention was called to nominate a
candidate for Governor, but before they pro-
ceeded to that business, resolution was Of
fered declaring that Gen. Cameron is the
choice Of the people of Pennsylvania for the
Presidency. The adoption Of the resolution
was earnestly resisted, and they had warm
time over the matter; but it was finally
adopted by SO to 80 votes. The Convention
entirely ignored the name "RepubIiean" and
styled their party the "People's Party
This may be the nome which the present
Republican psrty will assume after the
meeting of the Chicago Convention, as they
have pretty much worn out nnd dsgrsced
the name they now bear.

The Democratic Prospect.

As the time for the meeting Of the Charles.
ton Convention Opprosches, the evidences Of
a united and harmonious action Of the De.
mocratic party are constantly increasing.
Judging from the character of the Delegates
already chosen, the National Democratic
Convention of 1860, will be as able and as
independent body of the kind as has ever
assembled in the United States. Within
The next two weeks, most of the States will
have discharged the duty Of holding their
Democratic Nominating Conventions, end
appointing their delegates 10 Charleston. -
The feurs which have been expressed in
some quarters, that the deliberations of the
Charleston Convention might not be favor.
able and harmonious in their result, are dis.
appearing. As the day for the meeting Of
the Convention approaches, the signs Of Op
pretended discord becomes less aud less
apparent, and no Democrat would be sur
prised if the entire action of the Convention
should be like that at Cincinnati. remarka
