• The Supreme . Court.
The apprehensions of Jefferson respecting
the character of this tribunal. are now real.
ized. In 1821, he wrote that " the judiciary
branch {of the government) is the instrument
which, working like-gravity, Without inter
mission, is to press us at last, Into one con.
sulidated mass." Again he speaks of this
tribunal as "an irrespon4ble body working
like gravity
,by night and by day, gaining a
liftfe to-day and a little to-morrow, advanc
ing As noiseless step like a thief over the
field Of jurisdiction, until all shall be usurped
from the States, and the government shall
be consolidated into one," An, to read the
following trot» the pen of thellitthor. of the
Declaration of Independence, one might,well
imagine that he possessed the inspiration of
prophecy
" We alre.ady see the power installed fur
life, reAponsible to no authority , (for impeach
meat is not even a scare-crow) advancing
with noiseless and steady pace to the great
object of consolidation. The foundations
are already deeply laid by their decisions for
the annihilation of constitutional State rights.
This will not be borne._ You will have, to
choose between,refin - mation or revolution.—
If I know the spirit of this country, the one
or the other is inevitzble."
Contrary to All correct example, they go
out of the question before them r. to throw an
anchor ahead and grapple further hold for fu
ture advances of power. They. are then, in
fact, the corps of uppers and miners, :gel:li

• Nothing in the Constitution has given
them a right to decide for the Executive
more than the Execittive to decide for them.
The opinion which gives to the Judges the
right to declare what laws are constitutional
and what are not, not only for themselves in
their own sphere of action, but for the Leg
islature and Executive also In their spheres, ;
would make the Judiciary DESPOTIC BILANCLI.
If this opinion be souud; then indeed is our
Constitution a complete felo de u. For in
tending to establish three departrnen,ts co-or
dinate and independent,that they might check
and counteract one another, it has given, se
, cording to thii opinion ; to one of them alone
the right sto prescribe rules for the govern
ment of others--and to Ahatone too, which
is unelectial by. and independent of the na
tion.
defrerson was for applying a remedy to
this "CA'utlier" as be termed. "before its
venom should reach so much of the body po
litic as tri get beyond the control of the peo
ple." He regarded 'public functionaries in
dependent of the tuition, as a solecism io a
Republic, and advocated the policy of reduc
ing the terms of this Court to four or six
years.

Again, throughout his whole official

Territory. Ile states 'that fitly men were
under oath from the day he entered the coun

ded his official career should 'deviate from
that course which they bad marked out for
him. His life thus in - constant jeopardy, the
judiciary bitterly opposed . to him, the milita-'

The Governor 'says, he regrets the step he -I
was obliged to take most suicerely, and feels I
confident that had he received the assistance
promised him, he could have adniinisired
the aftiirs of the Territory in a manner ac
ceptable to the honest settlers Of both sides.
In relation to the robberies, arsons and
murders at the. hands of the Pro-Slav - ery
ruffians, which have taken place it, Kansas,.
the Governor says the half has not yet been
told, Ile says: The murder of Buffum by
Hayes was one of the most cold:blooded and

the affair occurred: As the poor fellow was
lying upoilie earth in his agonies, the blood
g
streamin om his wounds, and the cold
sweat of ie.a .h upon his brow, he seized the
Governor's and, and declared that
,ea tie
looked for n cy hereafter, he was innocent

of all causes f offence—that it was a moat.
foul and unpi:ovoked murder.'
.He asked the
assassin why be sought his' life or desired to
take his preperty-e-that upon his efforts - de-
pended . the subsistence of an aged father and
mother, a deaf and dumb brother and sister
—that be himself was a cripple, and therefore
}armless. - Toihis .appeal he was told that
he was a "d
-4d Abolitionist, and that they
intended to destroy the whole of them."—
upon which Hayes, one of _ the gang, seized
hint by the collar, and placing the pistol
against his stomach, shot hint. -
The Governor pledged him, while he held
his cold
. t.and in his Owu,- that he would use
all _his power to bring his murderer to justice.
" I spent," said the Governor, " five hundred
hundred dollars to.have his assassin arrested;
and I would have spent five thousand dollars
to have done so, if it. bad been necessary."—
It is well known that the-Governor had Hayes
arrested, but .scarcely was he put in prison,
when Lecompte is' aied a writ of habeas cor
pus, had him released and set attiberty . upon
straw bail. ' Hayes is now in Missouri, and
is playing the gentleman. The Governor
further states that after the release of Hayes.
Surveyor General Calhoun took occasion, in
a public Speech upon the Matter, to declare
that the discharge of Hayes was. perfectly le
gal, and that it was a' mistake to suppose that
the Territorial latis were enacted for the ben
efit of any other persons than the Pro Slave.
ry men. •
Speaking of the insult - offered him, which
led to the death of Sherrard, the Governor
gave a detailed account of the transaction,
and the" manner in which his assassination
had been previously planned. His own firm
ness, however, prevented its executi6n.—
Sherrard, the Governor states, with three.
others, waylaid him in the hall of the Legis
lature. He discovered them, and knew their
purpose ; and when Sherrard spoke' to him
he made no reply, but passed on, when Sher.
rard spat upon his back several times. As
soon as the facts became known, a public
meeting was held, composed principally of
Pro-Slavery men, for the purpose of denoun
cing the act. It was at this meeting that
Sherrard was shot. When the resolutions
were read, Sherrard said that any: _person
that indorsed them ,";was a liar, a coward ;
and scoundrel." Mr. Shepperd then arose,
and stated that he indorsed them, and was
neither a liar, scoundrel, ror coward.
• Sher•
rard then drew his- revolver, and commenced
shooting at. Shepperd, who received three
balls in his body. Mr. S. then snapped a
pistol at Sherrard, but it failing fire, he rush.
ed 'upon him and struck'him with his weap
on. =, They, were separatA, and Sherrard
then drew another pistol and advanced upon
Jones, whom be had previously Insulted be.
(muse be was a member of the Governor's
household. Jones, perceiving his danger,
drew a pistol in self-defence; a number of
shots were then fired at.the same time, and
Sherrard fell: The Governor says that the
account of the affair published in The Repub.
limn, as furnished by soy ie Mr. Jones, is a
tissue of falsehoods from beginning to end.
'Among other things the Governor com
plains most bitterly of the annoyances which
be suffered in the obstruction and mutilation
of his correspondence. The - mail bags, he
says, were constantly opened, and all am!.

erson, uttered frOm time to (IMO during the
Revolutionary 'period,against holding negroei
as property. Whether hc . regarded Otem'aa •
a race having "no rights Which white men
were bound to respect," we May' learn by •
reading the following paragraPh)n 'the 'origin
al draft of the DeclaratiOn. of Independence,
prepared by tun : • -
. ~.
‘‘ He (the BritiA King) has Waged cruel war
against human nature itself . viol4ied its most 1
sacred rights of life and liberty, irythe persons

This pirattcal warfare, the . opprobrium- of in;
Fidel Powers,'is tne 'warfare urge Christian
King of Great Britain. Determined to keep
a market where - men should bebought and.
. sold, he has at length prostituted
. his negative
for suppressing every legislativ& attempt to
prohibit and restrain this execrable eutri-
meow."
This clause eras omitted. not because it Was
disapproved . of by the Delegated front, the
Colonies- generally, but because the delegation
from Georgia objected to it = and; as the eri-t
sis demanded perfect union among the -Colo
nic,z, all were anxious to avoid..issne's,On sub-

13itt, observe, the hand that Penned that
clause, recognising the - neg roes . as ;Mien as kit

is in them as a war on the " ri . glifs of human
nature," " its most sacred rights 'Of life and,

dent: that all men are creator etinal ;, that
they are endpwed by their
.Creator= with cer
tain inalienable rights; that among these
rights are life, liberty, and • the pur4ttit othap

Thomas Jefferson was neither a fool nor a
hypocrite. .Wnen he wrote "all!men" .he
meant just what that phraseology Means ; el4e
his denunciation in the same docurrient of the
Kir.g of Great Britain, for warring On the " sa

veriest nonsense. e prefer Thornas defier

Again,: "Suppressing any &Ora live at
tempt' to prohibit and restrain this . 4 xecrable
trafc." This points to another fact: that a
majority of the Colonies, acting under' just
such an idea as Mr. Jefferson embodied ix the
omitted-clause, had attempted to abolish the
traffic in slaves as' merchandise; bit - their
legislation bad hen vetoed. And' yet. we are
to be told that the principle that slaves were
articles of merchandise, was "an axiom in
murals which no one thought, of disputing, -
and every one acted habitually upon' . It, with
out doubting for a moment the corrietness Of
the opinion I"- - •
A ConventiOn of Virginia was held in Au
gust , it i 4, to app.iat dvicbmtes.trt the first
General Congress of the Colonie.;and a state
ment. of the rights of the Colonies, drawn up
by Mr. jeiTerson, was latd before the body.
The following passage in it recognises a state
of sentiment directly the reverse of Abet as
serted by Judge Taney to exist at thaf time :
"The abolition of domestic Slavery is the
greatest object •of desire in these Colonies,

to be hoped he'will make a better one than as if "to
the manner born." Probably none of the natyves'

tlir Messrs. Lebo, Menear And Wagnnseller, Dem

thereupon there arose a united cry from the dougliface
press throughout the State, that these men had been
bribed to vote as they did. But they still remain
members of the house, and vote regularly with their
party, against the Republicans. Why don't the Dem

and corruption?

t ar The Southern Democratic journals denounce
the suggestion made by Mr. Buchanan in his Inaugu
ral, that the government should aid in constrycting
a military'road to the Pacific. Then Mr. Buchanan
will have to Withdraw the suggestion, or, at least,his
Partisans in Congress will refuse to act upon it ; for
what the South condemns cannot be Democratic, ac
cording to the modern definition. It was once Dem
ocratic for Congress to exclude Slavery from the Ter
ritorica, and the Democrats and Democratic papers
in this region were loud in favor of that doctrine; but
the South decided that it was beAt to take that ques
tion out of Congreis and let 'popular sovereignty'
decide it, and then that became Democratic doctrine.
Now the Supreme Court, speaking on behalf of the
South, harp decided that neither Congress nor the
people of a Territory have the right to exclude Slave
ry, and now, therefore, that must bt Democratic doe
.
trine.
What wrenchings the : poor Democratic partisans
in the North must suffer, to enable them to undergo
the changes necessary to retain their standing as
Democrats! The poor fellows don't know when they
go to bed at nigh; what political principles they will
profess next morning.
AR AVATEIJA Posrmasrrn.—A striking instance of
the vanity of limn= expectations occurred recently
in a thriving coalmining village, in a neighboring
county. A certain aspiring individual, who claims '
to have done the State—or, rather, Mr. Buchanan—.
some service in the late campaign, was an applicant
for the Postoffce In the village. He laid his plansju
diclously. as he thought..' At length . , matters - being
"Ott a train, ° and a special agent—the Postmaster
under
, Pierce—having been dispatched to Washing
ton to get the appointment effected, the aspirant felt
quite secure, and even went so &r as to announce his
appointment, and that be already had "nta 'Aram"
in his pocket. Ile acCordingly hired an °Mee, and .
hid it fitted up with all the modern imprOveinenta,
and no doubt was already firtgering,the maids in an

.The agent came back from Washington in due time,
but !le:Ora:o6ms own avarotxra awe in his pock

And it should be observed that Mr. Calhoun in an- The west
flouncing his doctrines, finds it necessary to attack early Sprit
the Declaration of Independence and its author ; for, Sim'
before his new- faith can be received by the people,
the doctrines and principles inculcated by Thomas
Jefferson must be forsaken. Less insidious and dis
honest than the pro-Slavery Judges of our Supreme
Court, Mr. Calhoun admits that Mr. Jefferson held
the doctrine that all men, black as well as white, were
created free and equal, and that that doctrine was
accepted and promulgated by our Ethers in the Dee
lamtion of Independence ; and after admitting that,:
such are the doctrines of that document, he proceeds
to pronounce them false and dangerous .
But let us enumerate, with more particularity, the
points on which these two statesmen disagree, as sta.
ted by Mr. Calhoun himself, in the above extract.—
Jefferson claimed that Congress possessed the power
to exclude Slavery from the TerritoriMr. Calhoun
denied that Cdngress possessed such power. leder
eon, as abeam by the tmlinance l of 1787, thought it
best to exclude slavery from the Territories, as such,
}forevee- ,- -Mr., Calhoun thought it best to have the Ter
, riteries free and open to all, till they& became States,
when they might form Slave or free constitutions, at
their option. Jefferson believed that an men were
created free and equal—Mr Calhoun bold that this
was•a greal and dangeroutt error of Jefferson. , Jef
ferson•held that the black race in the South were as
fully entitled to liberty and equality as the whites;
• •and that to deprive them of k as unjust and immor
al—all which Mr. Calhounyronoences " utterly false."
No one can deny that, en the questions at issue be
' tween the two, the Democracy of to-day hive taken
aides with the nullifier, while the Republicans stand
on the broad principles of Thomas Jefferson and the,
Declaration oflndependenee.
But at the time this speech of Mr. C • alhoun's was
made, his ultra pro-Shiveryis 1; had not been accepted
as Democratic doctrine, and some of the strongest ar
guments in favor of the power of Con,gress to exclude
Slavery from the Territories were made by leading
Northern Democrats. Now all is ' changed. Presi
dent Buchanan promulgates the doctrines of Mr. Cal
houn in his Inaugural, and they bare just been fulmi
nated in s bull from the Supreme Bench. Let all
Nurthese sycophants and spoils-seekers fear and obey.
For us Rept:bawl freemen, neither:Abe constrained
advocacy of a poor old.man Who sacrificed his con
science for the Presidency, nor the extra judicial der
vision-.basedon falsification of hisfory—of a Slave
holding CourVean ever induce us to forsake the ON
rious principles of universal liberty and man'sequali
ty, for the Gime and undeameratic doctrines of the
great champion of the Slave Power, Calhoun, the nul
lifier.
t ar We see not much of general interest in the
recent Legislation in our State. The Senate com
