TllO MAS sTENIEss, Pres . t. JACOB B. MILLER, Sec'y. The Decision in the Supreme Court. -The decision just made in the Dred Scott ease, an obsure African, by - the Supreme Court of the United States, is probably the most important that ever emanated from that highest tribunal of our country. It declares the Missourt Compromise Aut of 18'20 uncon stitutional—that uet which drew a slave line and a free line on the Territory of the Unitel States, prohibiting slavery colonization north of 36 30. This line Congress in 1850 refused 1 to extend to the Pacific ocean, and in 185:1 repealed . the act. We cannot - , of course, on the meagre data furnished by the brief sunl it:l-try of the decision which has so far reach ed us, undertake to-divine its fulLforce and bearings. The points of the decision cannot be entirely and aucurately comprehended un til the full reports of the opinions of the Judgtis are procured. These wo shall await w ith consideral de interest, and while desiring to avoid any hasty or unadvised remark, we cannot, itt the meantime, refrain from-express ing our gratificatiOn that this important sub ject has at last had-a final adjudication, and one which is in _accordance with the great prinCiplo of popular sovereignty in regard to slavery in the Territories, and which the new er lights which time and circumstance have imparted since Congress first injudiciously undertook to interfere iti the subject, have been effeetual in ,establishing by the abnega tion in the Kansas Nebraska filif - of all legisla tive control by that body over slavery in the territories. A (present- we can only give such other foots in the ease as are at hand. • It appears that the owners of the slave Dred Seieit, wile brings the actilin, carried him to Reek ISlarel, in Illinois, and Port Snelling( north of the Missouri line, and resid ed there fur years. lie carried him back to Missouri, and then claimed that the status .if slave r y resumed. The court sustains the action. • .Judges Taney, of Md.; Campbell, of Ala.; Clifton, of Tenn.; Wayne, of (1a.,-and Daniel, of Va.; concur on the constitutional point against the' iissouri compromise.— ) Judges Nelson, of C. Y., and Grier, of Pa., adopt the Missouri decisions and thereby join rite majority : that is, they stand upon the ground of the lex turi of Missouri, where re rent decisious reverse old decisions by re ...inverting Dre(l, - free in . lllinois, to his old state of slavery when returned to Misseuri . (I edge.; Mr - Ll:wan, ofOltio, and Curtis, o f Mass„ sustain thejoriseliction of.the court, with the constitutionality'of the Missouri compromise." It is said, but wo (I() net know upon what specific authority, that the 'opinion of the court does not reach directly, if at all, that a master-may take a slave to-a free Slate, even ia I ranYiln, and hold in slavery there his slave —roily brat a slave is net thus made free when re-taken to the State whence lie departed. The decision, we are glad to say, seems to be welcomed in -most quarters. There are italiscreet and suicidal ravings among sonic ef those who bone 7io /ow except that of their own violent self-will and passions. ,For in staller; the New York Tribune says that "it 18 entitled to just so much more weight as -Would be the judgment of a majority of those congregated in. a n y . Waxidnlton Gar-room," but on the other hand the New York Times, whi eh In a "111)1.11)11 4 ,all " journal also, says: "No popular revolution will fellow this de eisieu, startling, its it will be to the opinioes and prieciples of three-f»urths of the people of the United S;ates.

MI The following aro the Resolutions adopted by the late Democratic State Convention at Harrisburg. They are sound and to the point Mr. Shannon, Chairman of the Committee on resolutions, reported the following: Resolved, That, as representatives of the great party nmnded by Mr. Jefferson,we salute our political brethren of the other States with congratulations upon the auspicious and just result of the recent Presidential election, achieved by our united efforts and sacrifices, (with the aid of patriotic men heretofore at tached to ether political bodies,) and nem* eery, as we believe, to the honor and pros perity of our common country, and the con tinuance amongst us of the blessings of good goy ernment. Resolved, That the course of recent political action in the American Union has clearly shown the usefulness and necessity of our party, as a great conservative organization, able to resist and put down extreme and im priteticable theories of governtnent and social order ; to preserve the Conati thtional compact between the States from loose and dangerous constructions, as well as open violation; to bold in check the passions of the country when directed by local excitement or other cause, against fundamental points of our Mimi system, and to preserve to ourselves, and to those who conic after us, the rich and invaluable legacy of the free and - well-ordered institutions established by our fathers. Resolved, That to the existence and efficien cy of our party, adherence to its rules and. usages is essential, and that right reason and experience.prove thatwithout such adherence, division, disaster and defeat are inevitable; all departures, therefore, from our party laws, in State or local action, are to be deprecated and resisted - as evidently fraught with ele ments of danger, injury and eventual de struction. Resoled, That on behalf of the Pennsyl vania Democracy, in addition to the re-affirm anee of our past principles and policy, we an nounce as rules for' oar future action, the limitation of public expenditures to moderate and necessary outlays ; the sparing and care ful grants of corporate power ; the exactme Tit of laws in obedience to public opinion, 'valor than in advance or in contempt of it ; occa sional and - prudent amendments of the Con stitution as experience may demonstrate them to be necessary to the welfare and protection of the people ; the encouragement of virtue and intelligence as the main supports of our po litical system ; the rigid accountability of pub lie servants, and-the cultivation of just and amicable relations with our sister States, without subserviency to the passions or poli cy of any of thorn, but with a frank conces sion of the constitutional and equal rights of each. These are grounds upon which', as heretofore, we propose to maintain the chars acter of our Commonwealth, as a free, power ful and illustrionS member of the American Union. Resolved, That we recommend to the sup port of the people the candidates nominated by this Convention as men of character and experience, Well qualified for the posts to which they have been respectively named, in the full assurance that if elected, they will discharge their official duties with intelligence, fidelity and success. Be:mired, That we congratulate the Demo- lratic party and the country upon the tri umphant election of James Buchanan and John C. Breckinridge, to the Presidency and Vice Presidency of the .United States; and that in view of the whole political history of Mr. Buchanan, rendered memorable by his steady and patriotic adherence to the Consti tion and to .the maxims of its fathers, we, the representatives of the Democratic party of the State, in full Convention assembled,do .inost confidently pledge to our brethren of the traion, a wise, conservative and constitutional administration of the government, under the guidance of the first Pennsylvania President. Resolved, That in the late proceedings which resulted in the election of Simon Cam eron to the United States Senate,' the opposi tion to our party openly and shamelessly ex hibited their lack of high principles of honor, their contempt for the known sentiments of the people, and their utter disregard of the (diameter of the State ; and, together with ' the three apostates from our own party, by whose aid the result was accomplished, should be everywhere denounced by all men of virtue and honor. Mr. Schnabel moved that the resoultions, as read, be adopted.. `.LIIr. Cessna moved to amend by adding the following resolution : llpsohy,./ That the thanks of the. Democracy of Pennsylvania are due and hereby tendered to Col. 'Nix W.„---Foaxxv for the ability, ener gy nipl c , insuannate tact exhibited by him in the discharge of the onerous duties which de v(dved upon him, in the late political strug gle. as Chairman of our State Central Com nnttee ; and although defeated for U.S. Sena tor by the basest treachery, he still occupies an eminent p,,sition in the great heart of the Keystone Democracy. The amendment of Mr. Cessna was agreed to, and the resolutions were then unanimous ly adopted. ; . nv6 -. DL - LAk - S - LYiAR. The Second of March. Convention. terSome firrty years ago, when a man's re spectability depended much on his taking a newspaper, a certain : shrewd old fellow was one morning enjoying the luxury of perusing his paper, (although he labored under the great disadvantage of not knowing a single letter in the alphabet,) when a most knowing neighbor of his happened to come in—per haps to borrow his paper—observiug to him that he had his paper wrong erm up. The old gentleman drawing himself up in all the pomposity of affronted dignity, exclaimed : "1 would have you to know, sir, that if I take a paper and pay for it, I have a right to read it which end up I please." The .2Veto Tariff BilL—The measure of re duction by the new tariff bill is altogether conjectural. but the opinion prevails that it will, amount to about fourteen millions of dollars. '"Wake up, here, and pay for your lodgings," said the Deacon, as he nudged a sleepy stranger with the contribution box. NO. 25.
