The Hon. STEPHEN A. DoUGIAs is gambler in
politics and he has a set Of politicians hanging
around him seeking to build up his political for
tunes by the same system of advertising that lottery
men adopt-an exravsgant display Of prizes that
were never drawn. No sooner does Democratic
State Convention. assemble and adjourn than his
pensioned letter-writers at Washington flood the
country with information, manufactured to order,
Of new evidendences ofhs strength in the approach
ing Charleston Convention. We are informed by the
jackson Mississipplqn that it could not find man
il the Democratic Convention Of that State who
would even vote for DOUGLAS if nominated, and yet
his letter-vriters at distance have every assur-
ance that he is not without friends IL the Mississp
pi delegation. The State Democratic Convention
OF Kentucky unequivocally spit upon his heresies,
and instructed her delegates to urge the nomination
of one Of her own distinguished national men,
JAMES GUTHRIE; but the letter-writers who are
doing the work for the little giant find reason to
doubt the sincerity of this instruction, and profess
to look confidently for Kentucky to wheel into his
support.
Regarding the nomination Of Mr.. DOuGIAs by the
! Charleston Convention impossibility, and not
4 mere improbability. we should not have wasted
words upon the subject but for ridiculous msrep-
resentation which his etterwriters are sending out
to the effect that the recent Democratic State Con-
vention of Tennessee, expressing preference for
/ Gov. JOHNSON for the Presidency did so simply in
compliment. and that after a few baIlotings this
Delegation would also fall into his support What
is there that equal the Arrogance of these pre-
4 tenders? The Democracy of Tennessee, who know
Gov. JOHNSON look upon him as prominently quail
ifiel for the high position to which they have re
commended him, and they have reason to hope tina
he is sufficiently known to the Democracy of the en-
tire country to be recognised as the man peculiarly
suited to the EMERGENCY of the times. He needed nc
empty compliment from their hands. having already
given the highest evidences IN their power Of thei
confidence in his integrity a Democrat and in hi
ability as a statesman. We profess to know the sen
timent Of the Democracy of Tennessee, and to IN
derstand the spirit that pervaded their recent Con
vention, and can assure those who may not readil,
comprehend the tactics Of these professional letter
writer's in the service Of Mr. DOUGLAS, that of al
the gentlemen whose names have been mentione,
in connection with the nomination at Charleston, h
is the last that the delegates from Tennessee woul
feel at liberty to support Whilst the great BODY
the party might vote for him, as a choice of evils
if nominated at Charleston, yet, as Maj. DeNNEIso
said of Mr.. FILLMORE, he would be "a bitter pill
very bitter pill"

The Inferior Race---A Question for the
Times,


Times.
We have an inferior race to deal with and the
question is, how! Are we to be foolish enough to
disregard the most obvious points of difference be-
tween them and u.s. and insist upon equality of
mind which does not exist in order to give them
equality of rights which would cease to exist prac-
tcallyin twenty four hours? Look at the instances
Of il be needful to 90 to them for proof of the
truth Of what we are saying) in which the negro
race. not achieving freedom, Ike our fathers, has
had it thrust upon them, like the blacks Of the Eng
lish West Indies. Or even leok at the instance
where their arms were nerved by their own ener-
gies as in st. Domingo. What has become Of all the
freedom in each case? What is the rank held
! by these dsfranehised slaves among the races o.
meng See them indolent, uniutellectual sensual
and then suppose for an instant that the island Of
Jamaica were gwen them, without an incumberance,
to five or six thousand Yankees, simply the con-
dition that they should go there and what they
could make of it. We merely suggest this for the
information Of our readers and ask plain question
or two in relation to it
Does ANYBODY believe that in less time than is al
lOtted to generation the face Of the earth that
island would be in the condition it now is! Would
there be none of the symptoms Of improvement and
progress which in other places have marked the
| career of the American. Would the church, the
school, and the college be entirely forgotten. Would
there be no election days no Thanksgiving, no
fourth of July! Would there be no patents, no
trade with home. with other people? If the Yam
kee did not entirely lose his character there would
be these. and thousands Of other devices to make
the utmost Of the little FARM and progress would
be as much the order Of the day there here. But
we need not go so far for suppostiOn. Here, in
rock b0und frOst-bOund Massachusetts,, we manage
to get the sugar, the fruits, and all that want
from more favored regions and support a million of
people little, Unattracuve spot, that before it
was settled by a hardy race, would not have been
worth as muck one Of the smallest Of the West
India Islands.
The picture Of Jamaica as she might be. and as
she is and the contrast of Massachusetts, she is
to-day, and as she was by nature two hundred and
fifty years ago, should be enough, one would think
to teach patience and discrimination to the dullest
minds, and to show that it is vain to attempt to
hasten the course of events which III the hands
Of a wiser power than Congress, or the general
court and that would be better for us to turn our
attention % affairs which we can, in some degree,
control and leave TO Caesar the things that are
Caesars. and to God the things that are Gods"

DECISIONS OF THE SUPREME COURT.
y,yrr-rTT
Opinions of the Supreme Court of the
state of Tennessee, ut Jackson, April
TernEs 1852

Nolen The State.
The prisoner was convicted of murder in the
second degree and sentenced 10 ten years IN the
penitentiary. There motion for a new trial,
and also in arrest OF Judgment Of which were
Ovcrrued.
The proof is not set forth in the bill Of exceptions.
Two errors are alleged to have interviewed in the
progress of the trial The first is that the Court
discharged two of the jurors, after they had been
regularly elected and chosen by the prisoner, and
had taken their seats in the jury box. 1t appears
from the record that during the process of lmpan-
Melting the jury and after six jurors had been Sc
lected it was discovered that one Of the six was
Intoxicated: and thereupon it suggested by the
Court that he be excused from serving on the jury
and the counsel for the prisoner, and the Attorney
General asserting to his discharge it was ordered
accordingly by the Court
On the next morning. and before the jury was
made up one of the six jurors selected on the pre-
ceedng day. was at the request Of the counsel TOR
the defendant. and the Attorney General, excused
by the Court from serving on the jury, for the
reason that his wife had been taken very ILL.,
1t is now objected, that the Court had no power
to discharge said Juror This objection is not tena
bic. The Jurors had not been charged with the
trial of the prisoner. Their discharge was with
the consent of the prisoners counsel, and as the
record shows that the prisoner was present, IN
proper person, it must be taken to have been with
his consent also. II is not pretended that the prs-
oner was in anywise prejudiced by the release OF
the said Juror; and he cannot now be heard to i'm
peach the regularity OF the proceedings on thaJ
ground.
The second error assigned is, that after the jury
had retired from the bar to consider Of their YER
diet one of the number made a statement, as of his
own knowledge, to his fellow jurors, to the effect
that the prisoner was a violent, dangerous man;
that he had stabbed other persons, and should not
be turned loose upon the community. This state
ment is verified by the affidavit Of the prisoner
alone.
Upon this unsupported affidavit, an application
1l-,Vav~
cess to bring before the Court certain of the jurors
20 testify as to the matter alleged in said affidavit
the jurors refusing is stated to appear voluntar
". The Court refused the application In this
there is no error. What might have been the effect
of the statement alleged to have been made BY the
Juror if the fact had been established need not
now declare 1t is sufficient to say that the jurors
were not subject to be called on TO convict them
selves Of a palpable violation Of duty for which,
if guilty they were liable to be punished by the
Court The exceptions taken to the indictment are
merely technical and not available after verdict
There is no error in the record Judgment affirmed.
