On 111 mday last, 'Mr.liarris,an Abolition Know Nothing mem ber of the Senate, introduced in that body a preamido and resolution denouncing the de cision of the Supreme Court of- the United States in the Dred Scott ease, 11,F It 'emon4toni3 le'reer.yinn if truth awl right," and stigma tizing the Court itself as "little elm.' Mon the willing Itml of pro-klarerypotrtirionx ."' Stich grossly improper language was of course ob jected to, and Messrs. Browne, Welsh, Wil kins, and miters took ground against the re ception of the preamble and resolution. The opposition became excited, t wo having a ma jority in the Senate, carried the motion to re fer-16 Cro to 14 against. Senator Browne, during the discussion, said : "A few days since a leading ICepuhlican organ declared that this decision of the Su preme Court was entitled to just as much, and no more, consideration than the decision of so many drunken bar-room politicians, and now the Senator, in a bill carefully prepared by him, and in measured terms, characterizes the Supreme Court as the "willing to o is nfpro slavery pa Winans," and that its decisions are “nionBtrons. perver3ion3 Qf truth, unit rigid" and "a flagrant outrage." All this is in keep ing with the persistent efforts which have been made during so many years to undermine the resnect of the people for the Constitution, to throw contempt upon their highest tribunal, and to weaken our traditional love for the Union, which is our best ifilieritanoi as It Ivo. Ide, and which we ought to transmit unim paired. "This subject has been so much agitated, that it cannot be touched without inflaming. The Senator, in the ardency of his feelings, employed language in regard to the Supreme Court which is to be deplored—and: it is hut' a short step from the state of feeling which prompts or justifies such "evil speAking of dignitaries," to open and avowed resistance to law and constitutional authority. 'Our Union will not long survive the sentiment of respect; which every man owes to its constituted, and, especially, its judicial tribunals." Mr. Buchanan regards the Kiinsas-Nebras ! ka Bill as a full settlement of the slavery I queStion. Ile deprecates the further agitation of the subject, and says, "It has been prodit . c• 1 five of no positive good to any human being, but has been the prolific source of great evils to the master, to the slave and to the whole I country." Ile adds, "Let every Uni on-lov -1 ing man, therefore, exert his Lest influence to suppress this agitation, which, mince 'the re i cent legislation of Congress, is without any legitimate Object." The facts thus suggested in Mr, Buchanan's ' inaugural address should.not be lost sight of. The man who continues to agitate the ques i tion when it is so palpably evident to every one that such, agitation cannot be productive of good to` any one, but injury to' all—even to the Slave--is something less than a proper man,- -What reason exists fur such agitation? What is to he Accomplished by it? If the ob ject is a dissolution of the Union, then the .agitation is 'infamous. If it is to array one portion of the - Union against the other, or to induee hatred between-the people of the North and those of the South, thenjt is equally in famous. if it is merely to enable certain men to obtain offices, and certain newspapers to obtain support, then it is foolish and danger- 1 ously mischievous. If the various stripes of agitators combine all these purposes, the ob ject is no more justor patriotic than treason or other crime. That such must be the pur- ' poses of the agitators, when no commendable ; object Calk be assigned, is self-evident. How, thou, can honest men give support to such a ' party ?---C/imion Dem. .
