Judges Taney ard Nelson.

The Washington City States and Union de-
clares authoritatively that Chief Justice Taney,
the author OF the Dred Scott opinion, is n sup
porter Of Douglas. As the Breckinridgers use
that opinion almost their sole justification for
boiling the regular nominations of Douglas and
johnson, they have found it necessary to con-
tradict the statement. Accordingly, not being
able to get Democratic paper to utter the
falsehood, they had to fall back upon the op-
position for aid and comfort And now we fnd
them quoting, exultingly, from the Baltimore
American, the declaration that Judge Taney will
vote for Breckenridge The Baltimore American
has been for years the bitterest sort of an oppo-
stion paper-in short, has exhibited undoubted
Black Republican leaniugs, and justified Winter
Davis in voting for Black Republican Speaker
of the House of Representatives. But that is
the sort o. authority that the Breckenridge prints
now love to quote With them the voice of
Burlingame, a Loyejoy, or any other foul
mouthed, lying Abolitionist, against Douglas, is
as holy writ" Charges coming from such
black and dirty sources, they roll as a sweet
morsel under their tongues
The truth is, in our opinion, there is no doubt
but that Chief Justice Taney is really a sup
porter OF Douglas. 1t is impossible that he
could have any sympathy with party, called
into existence through the Vaccinations of a lot
of hot-heads who for years have been plot
ting the destruction of the American Union
lie knows that Yancey, Rhett, Keitt Davis, and
men of that stripe, have for years favored a di-
vision of the Union and the establishment of a
Southern Republic-and loving the Union as he
does his life and honor he cannot possibly sym
pathise with them in their eudeavors to con-
summate their mad and treasonable designs
What have the Yanceyites to say to the fact
as ANNOUNCED by his own town paper, that jas
tice Nelson who concurred in the bred Scott
decision, is also, like Taney, supporter of
Douglas?

Where they stand.

Lincoln and Hamlin represent a prin-
ciple-that of National resistance to the
ditfrs on of Slavery. Breckenridge and
Lane represent the antagonist principle
that of National protection to the diffusion
of Slavery. Douglas and Johnson repre-
sent dodge-namely National indiffer
ence to the diffusion OF Slavery. Bell and
Everett represent sham-N National
blindness to the diffusion of Slavcry.-
Earnest men are necessarily with one or
the other of the two first named. And
earnest men happen to be greatly in the
majority about these days. Really vefy
few are indifferent, while none who can
read are blind to the great, oversha1ow-
ing issue ofour age. Political trilnmers
who would ignore the gravest facts by re-
solving that they don't see, or care moth
ing about them, may vote for Douglas or
Bell; but the people are overwhelmingly
in favor of a settlement Of the Slavery ex-
tension issue on its merits--one that shall
be real and biding.-N. Y. Trib-
une.

Bugle Notes FROM Lincoln.

sour cause must be entrusted to, and
conducted by its own undoubted friends
those whose hands are free, whose
hearts are in the work--who do care for
the result. Two years ago the Republi-
cans of the Nation mustered over thirteen
hundred thousand strong. We did this
under the single impulse of resistance to a
common danger, with every external cir
stance against us; of discosdant and even
hostile elements, we gathered from the
four winds, and formed, and fought the
battle through under the constant hot
FIRE of disciplined, proud and pompered
enemy. Did we brave all then to falter

The result is not doubtful, we shall not
fail: if we stand firm, we shall not fail.

seHOnesa OLD ADe.,7

The following is pretty good burles-
que, purportng to be from the pen of
ARENAS Ward, Snowman, but it is hard
ly good enough for him.
There are several reports anoat as to
how Honest Old Abe received the news
of bis nomination, none of which are cor
rect. will give the correct report:
The Official Committee arrived in
Springfield at dewy eve, and went to
Honest Old Abe's House. Honest Old
Abe was not in. Mrs. Honest Old Abe
said Honest Old Abe was out in the
woods splitting rails. SO tho Official
Committee went into the woods, where,
sure enough, they found Honest Old Abe
splitting rails, with his two boys. 1t was
a grand, a magnificent spectacle. There
stood Honest Old Abein bis shirt sleeves,
pair of homemade suspenders holding
up a pair of homemade pantaloons, the
seat of which was neatly patched with
substantial cioth of different color
Mr.. Lincoln, sir, you've been nominated,
sir, for the highest office, sir % don't
bother me- said Homestead Abe, | took
o stint this mornin' to split three million
rails afore night, and | don't want to be
pestered with no stuff about no CONVEX
ton till l get ny stint done. I've only
got two hundred thousand rails to split
afore shutdown. I kin do it if you'll let
me alone And the great man went rigl t
on splitting rails, paying no attention
to the Committee whatever. The Com
mittee were lost in admiration for few
moments, when they recovered, and ask
cd one of Honest Old Abe's boys whose
boy he was? I'm my parents boy
shouted the the urchin, which burst of
wit so convulsed the Committee that they
came near 'ginin eout completely. In a
few moments Honest Old Abe finished
his task, and received the news with per-
feet self possession. He then asked them
up to the house, where he received them
cordially. He said he split three million
rails every day, although in very poor
health

How Men OF GENUS REGARD LrrERA-
TURE.-Margaret Fuller has written
thus!
Tho man Of genius feels that literature
has become two much craft By ITSELF
No man should live BY or for his PEN
Writing is worthless except as the record
of life and no great man was ever salts
fled thus to express all his being. His
book should be only indication of him
self. The obelisk should point to the
scene of conquest. In the present state
of division Of labor, tho literary man
finds himself combined TO be nothing else.
Does be write good booki II is not
received as evidence of his ability to live
and act, but rather the reverse. Men do
not offer him the care of embassies, as an
earlier age did to Petrarch; they would
be surprised if he left bis study to 90
forth to battle like Cervantes. We have
the swordsman, tho statesman and the
penman, but it is not considered that tho
same mind which can rule the destiny of
a poem, may rs well that of an army or
empire. Yet surely it should be so-
The scientific man may need secfusion
from the common affairs of life, for he
has his materials before him; but the man
of letters must seek them in life, and he
who cannot act will but imperfectly ap,
preciate action.

TIE Lumber Trade.

While tho lumber trade Of the st. Croix
Valley will not be as heavy the present AZ
during some previous years, yet it will be
source of immense revenue to the Val.
lev, and especially to this city, the presoa.
season; and as wages have been low, and
supplies cheap, operators ought to be able
to realize handsome returns for their
enterprising labors.
Mr.. Surveyor Winship informs US that
up to this time he has scaled over fifteen
million feet. This is independent of the
logs scaled and placed in the booms of
the mills for homo manufacture. The
former amount is what has already been
RATED and started for market. Mr.. w.
thinks be will scale forty millions of feet
during the season. This is below the
productions of former seasons ;but Mt eight
dollaas per thousand, which would prob.
ably be the average pr ce commanded in
the southern markets, here is n revenue
directly tributary to this city and valley
during the present season of $320000.--
The greater portion of this amount will
Immediately pass into the hands of other
parties when realized, in payment for lab
or, supplies. DC, and will pass from hand
to hand in liquidation of old Indebtedness.
Even one-fourth of this sum put in circu-
lation would make everything jingle, and.
give high pressure tone to every class of
business, besides making every couuten.~
ance radiant with joyous hope.
Add to this the enormous crops that
will soon be harvested in the North
and wethink the lopg-promised good time
coming will be upon us.-Stillwatsr

will state that during the Congress pre-
vious to the one just closed, during its
last hours, while the friends Of the Home
stead were claraorous for its passage, and
the test was between its passage, and the
100000 Cuba Bill. Mr.. Douglas
deserted the interests of the West, and
vote to take up the Cuba Bill. With this
fact staring them in the face some men
have the audacity to state that Buchanan
vetoed the recent Homestead Bill for no
other Object than to defeat Dolglhs. Ga
