We frequently hear Republicans in con-
versaton, asking, "Shall we, if the Supreme
Court decides enormously, give up to it ?"
Let us ask question. If you DISPUTE
with your neighbor and fail to settle your
differences, and finally take the matter to
Court, are you bound by thu decision Of
that Court? Of course you answer Yes. -
Well, if your cause is before the Justice of
the Peace you are bound by his decision
AMI are obliged to submit to it whether YOU
think it right or wrong, unless you please
to appeal to a higher court and have an
other trial. In cases where the lao allocs
you, you can do this if you " ish. You
try your cause then in the District Court.
You are bound by its decision. The Court
enters the cause as decided, and the proper
officers must see to it that the decision of
the court is executed accordingly. IF it
makes you pay $50 or $500 unjustly you
must do it; or if it sends you to prison
when you are not guilty, you must submit.
But in certain cases you have another ap.
peal,-to the Supreme Court OF the State.
This court may affirm the other decisions; if
the case cannot by law be taken to the Su-
preme Court Of the United States, YOU
must then stop and submit, whether you
think it right or wrong. But if your suit
involves question that can 60 into that
last and highest tribunal, Court that is
above all other Courts, can you put aside
its award? Republicans speakers tell you
that you may, that it is your duty to do it.
We ask you as honest men if the doctrine
is not revolutionary? We ask you if it is
not doctrine which, if carried out. must
r. -
doctrine that is subversive of all law and
government?
Shall constitutional questions be decided
in political caucus, and not in the Court
that our Constitution provides for the pur-
pose? Would your rights be safer in an ir-
responsible convention than in the tribunal
provided by our common Constitution /?
Read the Constitution. Think of these
things as honest, sober men. IF you are
suffering wrongs under our present form of
government. Sufficient to Justify you in
open rebellion and revolution, then it is
your duty to buckle on the sword. It YOU
are happy and prosperous and not suffering
great oppression, you are not justified in
rebellion against any branch of our Govern
ment We are satisfied with the Consti-
tuition as it is, and believe that it is suffi.
Gent safeguard against oppression. We do
not believe radical change of our form of
Government is necessary. If it is--if you
believe such necessity exsts-why, break
down the judicial branch Of the Govern
ment by disregarding its deciSions-its pre-
rogatlves-and plunge us into anarchy
Or Constitution provides that If Congress
makes law it must be enforced by the ex-
ecutive department, But if in its enforce
ment constitutional objection is urged,
the case goes before the Supreme Court
the Judicial department for decision. THIS
decision, whether it suits us or not, is final,
unless we resort to revolution.

Negro Equality.
Many acquaintances Of ours VIII o muster
with the Republicans, deny most emphatic
ally that the party with which they act looks
to the speedy equalization, social and polt-
ical, of the negros with the whites. With
out summoning the unimportant Abolition
witnesses who advocate this equalizing pro-
cess, we call to the stand the present Head
of the organization. Mr.. Lincoln is COM
mitted to the idea that whites and negroes
have the same rights under the American
Government. In his Chicago speech of
1858, he said:
ssMy frend<. have detained YOU about as long a.
desire to do and have only to saw, let di card all
quibbliRg about this man and the other man, this
race that race. and the other race being inferior and
therefore must be placed in inferior position, di>-
cardipg our standard which have left us let W
discard all thee things and unite people through
out the land until We shall once stand up de-
c!aripg that all mon are created equal.
But, he is not satisfied with "torturing"
to his rack portion of the Declaration of
Independence, and, therefore, proceeds to
make it stronger. A: the next breath he
says:
"Iy friends, could not, without launching out
upon some topic, which would detan YOU too
long, continue to might. 1 thank you for this most
20, s.s ,,,. -
leave you hoping that the lamp of liberty will burn
in your bosoms until there shall be no longer doubt
that all men are created free and equal'
Afterwards, at Galesburg, Mr.. Lincoln
said:
Il believe that the entire records OF the world from
the date of the Declare ton of Independence up to
within three years ago, may be searched in vain for
single a alton. from single man, that the
was include in the Declaration OF Indspend
Or, in other words, that, when our faith
ers, three-fourths of whom were slave hol-
ders, were declaring themselves free, they
were declaring their negroes free also.
We think that "a single affirmation from
one single man, declaring that the negro
was not included in the Declaration of In
dependence" can be found.
Mr.. Clay, on this point, says:
The Declaration, whatever may be the extent Of its
import made by the delee atoms Of the thirteen
States. In most of them slavery existed and
tahl.hed by law. Do believe that. in making that
Declaration. the States that concurred in intended
that it should be tortured into a virtual emancipation
of the slaves within their limits 81 Reply to Menden-

STRANGE RELIGIOUS CEREMONY IN ITALY
CurTINa THE HAIR OF A SrATuE.-The Naples
correspondent Of tho London Ne,os says in q
late letter:
The municipality went down to the Church
of the Madonna del Carmine in their carriages,
to cut the hair of celebrated statue of Jesus
Christ, said and believed to grow every year.
With the crowd got in also. Their worships
were at mass, and the body of the building &
was crowded with people. Undoubtedly the
general impression was that the hair Of the
figure on the CROSS grew and was ont yearly,
though one man told me that it was not done
now, and that it was only an idle report. On
arriving in the church the first thing which
the municipal body did was to draw aside the
curtain which conceals the miraculous crucif K
from public view, when upward of thousand
faces were turned toward , with an express
sion Of the most intense devotion. Mass hav-
ipg been said, the corporate body mounted into
the gallery where the cruciix is suspended, an
having kissed the foot the crowds below were
permitted to mount also, and perform the same
act Of devotion. Whatever may have been the
custom formerly, saw no hair cut on the
present occasion, though long lock appeared
to hang down on the right side.

THE GALLANT FooTMAN THAT RAN AWAY
WITH MRS. GuRNEY.--A correspondent gives
the particulars of the footman whom Mrs.
Gurney loved not wisely but too we'll: A young
man whose name is Taylor, had been highly
recommended to Mr.. Quincy as groom or
footman, to take charge Of Mrs. Gurney's
horses, as ahe was excessively fond of eques-
trian exercise, and was accordingly employ cd
in that capacity. Taylor was an educated
man, of fine appearance and pleasing man
ners, and three or four years younger than his
mistress. Thus thrown often together, she
conceived q passion for her servant, of which
her husband did not entertain tho remotest
idea until she openly avowsd it to him, de-
claring that, although tho latter had been
faultlsss as husband, and only too induIgent,
yet she had ceased to love him; that her heart
was with Taylor, and that she had determined
to abandon the husband for him. The
tenderest remonstrance and intercession
ayailed nothing to lessen her infatuation.
Friends and relatives who were called in to
plead with her made no stronger impression;
and leaving her children without shedding q
tear, this infatuated being abandoned as sd.
mirable home as woman ever inhabited, and
left England for the Continent, In company
with her seducer.

MORE OF TIE FAMOUS GURNEY ELoPEMEST--
The Position AND ANrEoBDENrs OF THE PRIN-
CIPAL PARTIEs.-A letter In an Eastern paper
says: Mr.. Gurney is the son Of Joseph John
Quincy, the distinguished Quaker preacher
and philanthropist, well known by his exten-
sive travels in this country, some years ago,
for the purpose Of visiting the meetings of the
society to which he belonged. The latter was
brother of the we'll known banker, Samuel
Quincy; his sister was the celebrated Elizabeth
Fry, and his widow is native of Pennsyl-
vania. The family name and character are
thus familiar to Thousands in this country,
who will be interested in hearing some par
ticulars Of the domestic desolation 30 hastily
despatched in the foreign summary. Letters
received here by the last steamer have been
shown to me, which furnish me full particulars
Of the case.
The fugitive wife YVES tho only child of
Richard Guerney, M. p, cousin Of Joseph
John, and was married to the husband she has
abandoned when she was only fifteen years
old. She is now twenty. eight, and has two
children. Her father, at his death, left for
tune of $4,000, ,000-one-half to her children,
and the income Of the other half to her dur.
ing her life-the principal, at her death, to 60
also to her children. In addition to this
abundance, her husband Is also very wealthy,
Member Of Parliament, and maintains a
spledid city establishment and several cruntry
seats. As q man, citizen, husband and o
father, perhaps all England does not contain o
better or brighter character. He married for
love, and was passionately attached to his wife,
lavishing on her every attention and indulg-
ence which an overAowing fortune and affeo-
ton could suggest as likely to contribute to
her happiness, without, for moment suspect
lug that her loyalty to him had been alienated,
until he heard the blasting intelligence from
her own lips.

AMERICAN PECULrARrTIEs BURLRsoyED ON TIE
PAR1srAN srAaR.-Ths Paris correspondent of
the New York Times writes as follows:

bue NOW IofK 1smes Writes a8 f0lloWs:
New Years day this year has been produc-
tive In Americanisms. In tho annual reviews
at the theaters We come in for more than our
ordinary share of criticism. In tho review Of
the Varieties, for example, we have Blondin
and his cord, Barnum, and the balloon "City
OF New Yorck," (apelled with an extra O.
Between each scene the stage manager comes
forward, holding in his hand copy of the
quadruple Consteilation or tho Courier des Eats
Ons, bows politely and obsequiously to the
audience, and reads first from one paper aud
then from the other, oontradicting and affirm
ing the existence Of Blondin, then contradict
ing and affirming his feats on the rope, and
then ditto the story Of his death. This "saw''
continued through greater part Of the piece,
and intended to show the agonies of the public
OF France ss each steamer arrived from Amer
lea with the affirmation or contradiction Of
Blondin and his feats, Is decidedly the hit of
the piece.
But finally Barnum arrives and offers to tho
gentleman who is 80 worried about Blondin
the whole list of his wares, from the woolly
horse and Joyce Heth down to Tom Thumb;
but he is asked only about BlOndin; "Tell US
the truth about Blondinl" Is the burden of the
song. "Certainly," says Barnum, che is not
only reality, but will show him to you"
Whereupon the man under the trap jerks the
outside covering from Barnum and reveals
Blondin in flesh and blood. At the same time
drop-scene disappears and reveals Niagara
with cord stretched across the abyss. Blon-
din mounts his cord, and as he marches
steadily along clouds Of canards appears in the
air behind him, before him, above and below
him, while the ballet girls, to give effective
ness to the scene, perhaps to suggest its appli-
cation, wave triumphantly numerous star
spangled banners-of which, unfortunat ately,
some are made with the stripes running the
wrong way. That, however, is only detail.

ANOTHER OPINION OF MAoAULAY's CosvHR-
sATloN.-The London correspondent of the
Manchester Guardian has the following:
Maoaulay's conversation, more than that Of
any man have ever met impressed me with
the notion Of a memory of peerless accuracy,
the stores of which were used with an unfail-
ing and disciplined energy of mind, mani
Tested especially in the force and finish of the
speakers language. All of Macaulay's con-
versation would admit of being put in print,
just as it was spoken. Thore was nothing un.
finished, slipahod, hssitatingly, or haif.ex-
pressed. The sentences were flung before you
with an irreprossible buoyanoy and forceful.
nefs of utterance, complete, clear cut, we'll.
rounded and well-linked to each other; and
yet there was nothing Johnsonian, nothing
pompous, sesqupedalian or pedentic in the
phraseofogy; and as the manner 80 was the
matter--plsasant, interesting, amusing, but
never prosy, boring or over ambitious for the
company or the time. Macaulay
monologmed, only because he had SO much
ready to flow forth on most subjects, that il
took a long time even to pump off even his
surface water; but, in company with people
who had something to say and could say it,
Macaulay did not habitually take up moro
than bis fair share Of the conversation. Sid
ney Smith used 10 complain of Macaulsy be-
cause he was rival, and worse monopo-
list, and could not bear to see the attention Of
the table distracted from his own rampant and
nubelaisian fun.
