tnctons, and being placed in false position
by it-not being sustained in his action by his
own government, he felt that he had nc, other
recourse but to resign his position, which he
did; and our government thus far, has willing
" rested with one Of the qualifications of the
meanest of all masters, which is he who will
not sustain his servant in the execution of his
orders.
But the summary of all this history is simply
this. General Jackson protested profound
love and generation for the democracy, while
at the same time he was making use of it for
slavery; and Mr. Marcy, at the expense of the
authority, sovereignty and responsibility of our
government, excited an idle issue on the sub
ject of dress abroad, while the public attention
was beginning to scrutinise closely the strange
alliance between slavery and democracy at
home
With regard TO the part played by Mr. Mason
in this affair, it was probably natural that, rep
rcsentiug as he did in an especial manner three
fifths Of the African race in the United States,
he should have preferred to appear at court
in coiOrs, rather than in the simple "dress OF
an Aa,ericda citizen"
But the serious matter of the whole transac-
ton is, the disparagement which it tends to
bring upon law and authority; the obligations
to obedience always being weakened in proper
ton to the indecison and contrariety of the pre-.
scribing power If General Jackson and MI
Pierce had not power to prescribe in the case
their duty, at least. was clear-they should have
let ii alone. If they had the power, then they
should have exercised it, approving of those
who carried out their instructions and disap.
proving of those who did rot. No government
can be either maintained or respected on any
other principles.
So repeated have been the instances of dis.
paraging law, authority and custom under the
democratic rule, that it would seem to be a set.
tied policy rather than an incident of democratic
looseness Law, in the long run, must be ar
enemy to slavery. AS an example of this pol
icy it is said that Secretary Floyd prescribed
the uniform dress for officers. while in Wash.
ington, and then gave them to understand pri.
vately that they need not observe it, unless the,
chose. 1t is not easy to conceive what better
course he could pursue for the destruction OF
the discipline of the army, or for lowering the
respect of the army for the laws of the land.

REPUBLICAN NOMINATIONS.
THE COSTUME OF PERSONS IN THE
DIPLOMATIC SERVICE.

A message from the President of the United
States to the Senate, communicating the in
structions anu correspondence relative to the
above subject, was read on the I'd of April last,
ordered to lie on the table, and be printed. AS
the question is doubtless new TO many of our
readers, it would not probably be uninteresting
to them to learn its history from the State de-
partment This history may be readily under
stood by pcrusal of the following documents;
DEPARTMENT OF STATE, AprH ., 1860.
The Secretary of State, to whom was referred
the Senate's resolution OF the 2Sth February
last, requesting the President "if in his opinion
not incompatible with the public interest, to
furnish to the Senate copies of oil instructions,
past and present with regard to the uniform
or costume Of persons in the diplomatic or con-
sular services and also any correspondence
with reference therein" has the honor to lay
before the President the documents mentioned
in the suboned list which are believed to CON
tain all the information in this department
called for by the resolution. The records of
the department do not show that there was any
instruction or recommendation to the diplomat
ic agents of the United States abroad upon the
subject of uniform prior to that Of Mr. Adams
to Mr.. Anderson ofthe 2Sth of May, 1929
1t is understood, however, that the uniform
adopted by our mission to Client, was infor-
maly recommended to all the United States
diplomatic agents who went abroad between
the period of the return of that mission and
the instruction to Mr.. Anderson referred to-
An instruction upon the subject, similar to that
given to Mr.. Anderson, was also addressed to
all other ministers about to go abroad, until
the administration of President Jackson, when
change in the uniform was recommended
The dress then recommended was also recon-
mended to all other diplomatic officers who sub
sequently went abroad, up to that period in the
administration of President Pierce when Mr..
Marcy addressed the circular upon the subject
which is one of the accompanying papers.
Respectfully submitted,
LEWIS CASS.

VACANCY OF THE U. S. SUPREME BENCH
The death of Mr. Justice Peter V. Daniel of the
Supreme Court of the United States, occurred
ON Thursday, 3lst ult., at his residence in Rich
mond' Virginia. He was appointed in 1871
Or the nine members of that Court, four are
his seniors and four are his juniors in the order
of their appointment. 1t is said that, before
Judge Daniel was dead, Virginians were in
Washington, urging the appointment of Judge
Robertson and Others to succeed him on the
Supreme Court Bench.

MIR. PRYOR.

Mr. Pryor has come out against the admins
tration. This fact is of but little Importance so
far as it concerns Mr.. Pryor himself, but as
trait of Southern political character it is very
signifcative. 1t shows in plain light what that
character is, void of both generosity and graft
tudc.
1t is well known that the Slave-power has
iiourished by corruption. The one who con-
sented to do the dirtiest work, could serve it
the hest AS criminality likes companionship
criminals are received into high favor by it.
Any one who will make his hands as dirty as
slavery, is a great friend to the STAKEHOLDER
This was well understood when Mr.. Buchanan
was nominated for the presidency, and he ac-
cepted OF the work before him with full I'M
Outstanding of what he was expected to do.
And no one can prove that he has been recreant
to his cause. lie has sacrificed his reputation,
his peace, his self-respect and almost his con-
science in behalf of the slave-power, and now,
that power, in one of its champions, turns again
st him as mercilessly as il he were an honest
man. Having taken the juice of the orange. it
throws the rind into the ditch.
If principle will not deter men from serving
such monster, fear of the consequences NAV
possibly have some effect. Mr.. Buchanan is
not the only one, as many of our democratic
fellow citizens can avow, who, having first been
used and dishonored by the slave power, has
then been spurned from it in contempt.

that Senator or Representative, who is as a
soldier in the front rank, is to do nothing but

The CATTLE DISEASE IN New HAMPSHIRE
A correspondent of the Fitchburg Rereille in
writing from Marlboro, N. H., Gays "There is
considerable excitement in this town and yicn-

being among us. We hardly know how it is
yet. Meetings of the citizens have been held
in this and adjoining towns, committees chosen
to attend examinations of suspected cattle,
which take place this week, and otherwise look
into the matter. Petitions with hosts of signers
will be before the legislature"
