If it were possible for any political contest to approach in importance the election of last fall, the Gubernatorial contest in which we are just about engaging will come (ho nearest to It. We have gained a great ProtHdenllal victory, and established principles whlfeh we hope to ho per manent 5 but If the State is not carried next tall —if (ho battle is won by the enemy—the fruits of the late victory will bo snatched from us. and those principles, however firmly they may ap pear to bo established, will be shaken to their loundatlon. The prestige we possess at this time was acquired by carrying Pennsylvania In last October and November; but if the State la not carried in nest October for the Democratic State Ticket, the advantage will slip Irom our hands. Thousands in Pennsylvania, who previously were opposed to the Democratic party, voted for James Buchanan, because they considered that to no other man in that great crisis could the destinies of the nation be confided with such assurance of safety. They acted from honest and correct convictions, and so did their duty. But there is another duty to perform. It is not enough that James Buchanan is elected. In order to carry out the objects for which lie was chosen, he must be backed and supported, lie must receive the countenance of the great Stale that elected him. It must go forth to tlie world that Pennsylvania, which more emphatically t than any other State pronounced against f.umli ! cism, sectionalism and disunion, still maintains ' tlie same position, is still pervaded bj the same national sentiments, and (hat it is steadfast in I adhering to the President, and in its support of I Ins Administration. Should Pennsylvania, on l the other hand, elect the Republican or Union j nominees at the next election, it would ho equi- | valeiil to deserting the President she lias been I instrumental in electing, and repudiating the , principles he was designed to carry out.

Bred Scott Case— lmportant Decision. Washington,'March Clh.—The opinion of the Supremo Court in the,Bred Scott case was delivered by Chief Justice Taney today. It was a full and elaborate statement of the views of the Court.- They harts decided the follow ing all important points: Ist. Negroes, whether Slaves or free— that is, men of the African race—arc not citizens of the United States by the Constitution. 2d. The ordinanceof 1787 had no independent constitutional force or legal subsequently to the ftdqpjSou of the Constitution, and could not operate of itself to confer freedom of citizen ship within the national territory on negroes not citizens by the Constitution. 3d. The provisions of the net of 18-0. com monly called the Missouri Compromise, in so far as it undertook to exclude negro slavery and communicate freedom and citizenship In negroes in the Northern part of the Louisiana cession, was a legislative act exceeding the powers ol Congress, and void and of no ujoal f.ffect TO THAT END. In deciding these main points, the Supreme Court have determined the following incidental points: Ist. The expression, “territory anil other property” of the Union, in the Constitution, applies (in terms) only to such territory as the Union possessed at the lime of the adoption of the Constitution. . 2d. The rights of citizens of the Urn ted States emigrating inio anv federal territory, and the power of the federal government there, depend on the general provisions of the Consti tution, which defines in this, as in all other re peels, the power of Congress. 3d. As Congress dors not possess power it self to makfisttnctmenls relative to the persons or property*)! citizens of the I nited Slates in I federal territory other Ilian Mich as the Const i lution confcrs, so it cannot constitutionally de legale any such powers to a territorial govern-, ment organized by it under the Constitution, j 4th. The legal condition of a slave in the | State of Missouri is not nlficlcil by the tempo- j rnry sojourn of such slave in any other State r I but at his return Ins eondiiion still depends on [ the laws of Missouri. As the plamtiil was npf, a citizen of Missouri, and therefore could not | sue in the courts of the I nited Slates, the suit i must be dismissed for want of jurisdiction. | The delivery of tins opinion occupied about three hours, and iras listen's! In with profound attention by those in ihc crowded court-room. Among the auditors were gentlemen of eminent legal ability, and a due proportion of Indies. Tiic Funeral nf Dr. Ranc. I’rni.ii'Ki.rni.i.

It Is fully in consonance with that letter wherein he accepted the nomination con ferred on him bv (he Democratic party. It Is conciliatory, vet firm and dignified, and the doctrines which are enunciated will meet with a rcadv response from the heart of every Dem ocrat and cannot tail to command the approba tion evqn of those who are politically opposed to the principles of the Democratic party. « « • * * The lone of the entire address in its views upon the uxed questions of slavery foreign anil domestic policy of the government, is so eminently sound and conservative, so dignified and conciliatory, that il will give him the con* ildence of the whole American people. Ihc line of policy, he tins avowed will most certain ly be earned out. The conclusions at which he lias arrived are the result of long years of observation and experience, and are consistent wiih Ins whole public career.
