AMERICAN ARISTOCRACY. , 4,
An aristocracy of,virtue istrtopWn.
ohhnge must come ovorthe spirit'of the drc&W
before we shall awako to the reality, ‘ Yetjfc,
iapomble. And could a class of men befonnf'
to combine tlio advantages derivable,', froiA
a careful cultivation of tho mental, .■«SS
physical qualities, with tho gifts of intelli&t
anil an elevated, moral nature—wo imagluj,
that neither old imr young whether;
Democratic, Republican, or
w<Juid dony that such would bo an Aristocrat
of which they might he proud;
But while We, would honor "Worth, wo would
novel* lower it by labelling it with sudh «'
mime ns a Title. Dot a good and great man!*
name be title of honor in itself. , Lot
pride and glory to inherit siicU/aaame witih*
out having attached 1 to it stick \ «jhaudje**
title. Then, ho who emulates tho renown oj?
his father, will he doubly honored. , Let thlf
b 6 our Aristocracy. Earth can produce none
more noble., , x { ~. , tr ’ '■£
No where yet has atf ;f aristocracy of scienbi
and philosophy existed. ~The peripatetics ana
schoolmen 1 of. Greece, perhaps, enjoyed, asj g
class, greater influence than any similar-body
of men elsewhere—and this reflected In
greatsohodlstif'Alexandria; COuMnoRMIcoDG
said to cxis| in China, wo might say that such
on aristocracy is to bo met with there,'sirico
education is the passport to alhpublic cmplo»
inent, and elevation to high office. Tho selen
itic mon of Europe have, in all ages, had to
take thoir chancosof being honored and appre
ciated—and even in tho prosent comparatively
onlightod ago they are patronised, rather than
recognized as having an aristocracy of thoir
own, and that tho noblest of all. Such an
aristocracy has yot to assert its pre-eminence.
There is « amplo room and verge enough” in
this continent for it—at least in these United
States—ancl lot us hope it will not lose tho op
portunity when tho rago for tho “ almighty
dollar” shall have ' somewhat subsided, and
higher considerations will be allowed to have a
voico.
The Fort Snolling swindle,” us the
cncmicH of Gov. Floyd choose to call it,
proves to bo a good operation for tho country.
IVe are gratified, says a contemporary, to bo
confirmed in our viow of tlic transaction by
our correspondent at St. Paul, who is an un
biassed Judge. Under date of tho 26th, he
writes:
. '• I was glad to sou that you took the right viow
of tho FortSnolling sale. All tho trouble about It
is rnado by speculators, who hopod by a combina
tion to get it at $1 25 per aoro. Tho reserve com
prised originally some twontyor thirty thousand
aores—a portion of which was ofTored for sale about
throo years ago—when a combination was formed,
and all those claiming land there wont to tho Still*
water land offico complot oly armed and the land was
struck off at SI 25 per aoro. Tho Department
sent up J. Ross Browno (author of to
inquiro into tho matter, and he reported the sale
void In lonsequence of such combination. But
Btioh a row was rnado boro, that tho register afad
receiver of'the land office, booked by tho dele
gate in Congress, set to work aud disproved bU
statements, and the Department fully ratified the
sale—when thousands here saw.the procession .of
claimants, headed by music, and fully armed, on
their maroh to Stillwater.”
THE VACANCY IN THE V, S. SUPREME
COURT.
(For The Press.]
Now that thero is avaeaney on the bench of the
Supremo Court of tho United States, occasioned by
the resignation of Judge Curtis, it would, bo well
for tho influential journals of Philadelphia to re
spectfully urge the appointment of a Philadel
phia jurist to that honorable and cxaltod posi
tion. Tho President undoubtedly Ims the power of
selecting tlie monibers of the'Supromo Court from
any sootion of'tho Union, and though it is proper,
in tho majority of oases,' that they should be taken
from the judicial districts iu which they may have
respectively practised, any occasional oxception to
tho general rule of action might bo introduced with
groat advantuge. It would not bo well, in tho pro
sent instance, to select a lawyer from tho South. The
political complexion of. tho Supremo Courtis suffi
ciently fixed, and it would be highly impolitic and
unnecessary to “ add another hue unto the rain *
bow” "Wowant;another represonUtivo from tho
middloBootion of tho Union—that section whioh
has over exhibited a high’toned loyalty to the
Constitution, and whioh, on many memorable occa
sions, has preserved that glorious instrument from
Spoody annihilation. The Claims of Philadelphia,
too, should not bo forgotton. This oity has long
boon celebrated for tho respootahility and learning
of its bar; but it is strange, that our lawyers have
rarely been rewarded with the highest honors of
thoir profession, either in the judiciary of the State
or of tho Uuitod States.
Should the President think of elevating a Phila
delphia jurist to tho bonoh of tho Supromo Court,
there would be.littlo difficulty in deciding upou
whom that dignity should bo conferred. Hon. G.
Sharswood, it is submitted, is tbo man, of all
othors, for that position. It would be impertinent
to toll this community of tho personal morits aud
professional abilities of Judgo Sharswood. 110 is
a lawyor of whom any country might bo proud.
In England ho would long ago haro boon elevated
to the Queen’s Bench or to the highest Courts of
Chancery. His talents and splendid learning
should have a wider scope than is presented by
tho position which ho now fitls on tho besoh
of tho District Court. Judgo Sharswood is
a jurist in tbo most oxalted sense of the term.
Tho lectures whioh bo annually delivers from bis
ohair in the University of Pennsylvania embrace
almost ovory department of tho legal science, and
prove him to bo a> constitutional, international,
and municipal lawyor of tho first rank. His ge
neral and professional attainments would soon place
his namo—wero he raised to the Supreme bench—
among the Marshalls and tho Storys who have
graced that high tribunal- In bringing thus tho
namo of Judgo Sharswood before yonr readers, I
do but speak tbo mind of all who know this model
lawyer/ Civilian.

jrSVm frJends, and placing harriers in the way to
dke -fteedom’of their enslaved race. Wo speak ad- 1

and -tba soantiest labor always yields the most
prodigal return:
Yet & famine, is impending. This statement Is
incredible, or U would be, recited of a white race.
From tho mificrablo, thriftless inhabitants of tbo
Cape tie Vcrd Islands,- or the Azores, wo might
anticipate such things; but from such a place as
Liberia, novor!
If the report be true, then, these are our movi*
tablo conclusions, that the shiftless Improvidence,
tho laziness, tho mental inaptitude to bo influono
od to strugglo by high emotions, aro natural to tho
put e negro ; and not tho result of any slavery to
which ho may havo boon subjected. We emphasize
tho words pure negro, bccauro, wbuhovor tho ne
gro race rcceivo an admixture of the whito blood,
thoy are, pro rata , elovated in tho soalo of exist
ence—are more worthless ns slaves, because most
diaeatisflcd and longing for freedom, or if good
slaves, being so because of the possession and de
velopment of gonial and kind traits of character,
and motives for exertion unknown to their breth
ren of a more sablu hue.
Nor do wq arguo this alone from the report which
Liberia sends us. Thoßo who h&YO road the nows*
papers within tho last few weeks attentively must
have seen an article by tho lion. Gerrit Smith, of
Now York, of a similar purport. This distin
guished philanthropist (and doom him wrong
headed, if you please, still, judging him by tho in
fallible criterion of acts, you must deem him a
noble and sineero lover of his raee) has doroted
his onorgios aud his means to tho amelioration of
tho eolored race, not only those who had escaped
from their bondage, but the free blacks in his vi
cinity—with what result? He has given to them
farms, and stocked thorn for them. On his im
mense tracts of lands in tho interior of New York
ho has settled whole families, colored communi
ties; he has given to thorn everything necessary
io begin the struggle of life, with tho most cheering
prospeetoffully&ttainingeompetenee, oven wealth;
white neighbors cheered on tho enterprise, and
aided with their friendly counsel and assistance.
What has been the result? Simply this, bani‘
ruptey aud desertion oj the farms. Mostef the
firms have beon mortgaged, or tho residents
thereon have becomo so deeply involved as to flee
from their creditors to other States—or else unex
pected prosperity has proved a bane, elevation a
precursor to downfall, and in the veriost dregs of
the population of the adjacent towns and villages,
Gorrit - recognises some of those who
wero'whilome the recipients of his well-meant
bounty. Wo do not say that this is tho history of
alt his proteges; but ho himself confesses it to bo
that of very many.
Nor docs the history of West India emancipation
tell a tale differont. We speak from personal ob
servation, when we say that of all the degraded
beings wo ever saw, tho free blaoks of Jamaica are
the worst. We do not mo&n to say that they aro
as degraded in intelleot as the Digger Indiana of
California, or the stunted humans of Tlorra Jel
Fuigo. Wonld that they were! for it is mournful
to recognise intellect only as instructing in vice.
No! Mostly of mixed blood, they are supremely
indolent in body, but very active in mind. That
mental activity, instead of loading to a virtuous,
ambitious life, only lends enorgy and gives direc
tion to the most absolute and abominable vicious
abandonment. Wo seriously doubt whether in im
modesty, lust, lying, sto&ting, gross profanity—ln
shorten ail the paths of vice which an active mind,
warmed by a tropioal sun, could discover, the Ja
maica freo negro, male or fomalo, has an equal in
tho universe.
And now, some may say of what wohavewrit
ten, “ eui bono ?" This—and lot tho frantic agi
tators who would at once raiso to dignity of free
men the slaVoa amongst us take hood—that, under
the most favorable auspices, it would pot only be
nationally Injurious to our industry, but also most
destructive to tbo moral and well-boing of our
slave population, toglvo them, wore it practicable,
instant freedom.
The warm-hearted sympathy of the Society of
Friends, in our own State, devised from the
promptings of their generous humauitariun be
lief tho only sebomo of emancipation which will
ever work well either for the slave or for society-
Freedom suddenly given to tho elavo has the
same effect that a brilliant sun-glare has upon
ap eye newly awakened to sight. It daisies
but to bewilder, aud diseovors but to blind. One
so darkened, beclouded, devoid of tho higher
promptings for exertion as tbo negro elavo, must
be educated for freedom, beforo he can enjoy the
boon. And if our agitators will only let the South
alone, tbo true and honest hearts of at least the
border States of Maryland, Virginia, undKontucky
will, byodueating the nogro for twenty-one years,
as Pennsylvanians did, give to him that capacity
of enjoymont, comprehension, and improvement,
without which the gift of freedom Is rnoro destruc
tive then vyaathe Grecian horso to fatod “Troy.”

A STRANGE STATE OF THINGS IN
LOUISIANA.
[Correspondence of Tho Press.]
New Orleans, Sept. 1, 1857.
One of tho events has already taken place, to
whioh I alluded in my last, whioh might chango
“ the entire aspect of matters before November."
Tho American party made their parish nominations
on tho 27th ult.; they threw overboard all of tho
lato incumbents, and have choson new patriots for
the fat offices in tho city and parish. Tho silk
stocking wing of the Americans have repudiated
the worries. Brass knuokles, bowia knives, and
bludgeons aro at a discount. They refuse to pay
the l&boror “ his hiro,” and have sentenced them
to livo upon their patriotism for the next two yoars.
Patriotism and brass knuckles cannot sustain the
inner-man—^but with such alternatives, I foar a
majority may select tho knuokles. Independent
candidates aro out as thick as blackberries in July.
Tho Convention is denounced as corrupt and unfair;
they assort that thoy have boon abandoned by tbo
intrigues of a digue of pretended Americans, who
havo never thugged a vote or bnlliod a respoetablo
foreigner from the polls—nice, respectable,.well
dressed gentlemen havo been selected for all tho
important offices, whilst thoso sterling Americans,
who slung-shotted such men os IV. A. Elmore, the
Democrats candidate for Mayor, knocked down
Ex-Chief Justice Slidoll and Patrick Irwin,
thugged Drs. Chopin, Foster, and Austin, also Me-
Cormaok. Frasier, and W. A. Gordon, besides kill
ing scores of Irish and German, haying received
nothing. Meotings have been held in one ef the
districts, and a great amount of indignation ex
ponded on the occasion; resolutions passed de
nunciatory of tho Couvontion, and the manner of
elocting tho delegates, and a mass mooting resolved
upon for next Saturday, the sth. This .will be fol
lowed by other mootings, and two sets of candi
dates will be beforo the party, whose greatest card
hashorotoforo been, on all occasions, “Let the office
seek tho man.’* They virtually aoknowledge that
It is oaxier to preach such doctrine than to carry it
out. The geutloman who was, overslaughed for
his re-nomination as coroner, is now out against
the regular nominee of the Order for the sheriffalty.
There is a good time a coming; they bare commen
ced thugging each other, and before November
there will bo as many of those “Americans who
rule America," slung-shotted, and rnawled, as
there have beon Democrats. The last Legislature
passed an aot, taking from the sheriff, police board,
and munioipal counoil of the oity and parish of
New Orleans, tho power to appoint commissioners
of eleotlons, or to designate the place of voting, or
for tho sheriff to be thq roturning officer of the
votes polled, and designated a superintendent and
commissioner of election, with power to appoint
judgos, clerks, and places of holding elections, tho
said superintendent to bo appointed by the Go
vernor, and to bo the roturning officer of all 70tes
polled in the parish of Orleans, at a salary of $5,000
pur unmun, with four deputies at $l,OOO a year, to
whom powor was given to eall upon alt and every
citizen to presorve the purity of the ballot-box,
quell riots, and assist in preserving order; and upon
the refusal of any citizen, when thus called on, a
hoavy penalty was imposed by the law, being fine
and imprisonment. The law has beon signed by
the Governor, tho superintendent commissioned,
and tho deputies appointed. TbeAmorioan mayor
of the eity sued out an injunotion against the su
perintendent, declaring in his petition the law to
bo unconstitutional, returnable beforo Judge Eg
gloston, who sustained tho injunotion, and it was
taken by consent of parties to tho Superior Coart,
who do not moot boro until tho first Monday of
November, tho day before our rogul&r State eloe
tions. There can bo no decision on Its merits in
time for carrying out the law, and in tho mean
time, it is a mutter of great doubt whether wc can
havo an elootion in tho city or not in Novombofc
Tho law whs framed alone for the parish of Or
leans, aud does not affoot any other pariah in the
State. Tho question now arises, eau the Governor
recognise the law heretofore governing the elec
tions in this parish, whioh the last Legislature re
pealed ? or will he rocognize the new law, substi
tuted by the lost Legislature lu lieu of the old law
repealed, and which has his signature of approval ?
The first is a dead letter on the statute-book; the
action of tho last has boon arrested by an
injunotion To whom will the writ of election
for this parish be directed ? The American
party ate now anxious to withdraw the in
junction. Con it be done without, tho con
sent of the Attoruey General, who is the legal
roproeontativo of tho State ? 8o you seo we are in
quite a snarl. If tboroisuo election in the city,
Yollero will boat Eustis by carrying the parishes
of riaquemine and St. Bernard, and the Ist dis
trict will he again represented by a Democrat. By
tho samo token Miles Taylor, whose election has
boon regarded certain in any event, would beat
his opponent about, 3,500 votes. Tho Governor
would have the appointment of all the parish offi
cers, to the disappointment of sundry American
patriots.- The ahoriffrity is worth $50,000 per an
num, corouor $15,000, assessors and tax-collectors
from $O,OOO to $lO,OOO, and justioos of tbe peace
will averago $lO,OOO a year, oontobles $7,000 to
$lO,OOO. So you soo it would be'a serious matter,
after all, if they have prevented tho election of
their friends to those fat offices by. their honest and
earnest seal for the constitutionality ef tbe laws.

“iVTVaAT 'Din XA»V FOLLY COSSIST. ,> 1
Tho most degrading epithet to be found .id the
vocabulary of language, applied to, tie,
subject referred to in tnq parable.
Booh an expression (“thou fool’*); comlhgfrom
the wnreo it did, must hare had. sufficient rnMort
to sustain It. But here arose ,lbp difficulty. The

Id tbe reasoning of thd tcorld was not prepared to
receive* 1 Here, Indeed* the jssue. Tbe judg~
aent of God was arrayed against the judgment of
unconverted man. * J '
To proceed, however, with the investigation into
the folly of this' rich own'Or of ccrtAin -lands;'we*
should probably be told : Jfr.t/—in vindication of
his coarse—that he had beea a rich ; nnd.it
was an undUputable fact that ritkes catered
multitude of sine! He knew, from the feet that
rich men were almost universally lauded for their
that the process of fastening tho charge of
folly upon so distinguished a one of their number,
vu no Idle undertaking. Again, it-would bo.plead
in his behalf, : that- ' he had been/ industry
cue and persevering, and bad,' as a consequence,
reaped an abundant , harvest»• as his - reward:

Yes, be had takeni thought, nndtbq conclusion’
of his thoughts hod been that, he would build new
barns, and bn announcing this Vesdhitlon,* He did
not doubt but that ho had been regardod ad tho
very wisest man in alb that region- But, again,*
the world would give him orodit fot; poting wisely,

- Hero.tha-iipcak«r aaw/pwtured before JtU.hna>
gination the phantom of this prince reclining upon
his silken couch at tho dead hour of night,
revolving in {hU mind the , future
that awaited him., This delineation was
once artistic, eloquont, and ' thrilling. He
(tho speaker) thought ho could ace that eastern
prince reclining voluptuously, upon his. silk*
on couoh. It was at tho dead hour of eight: tbe
laborers of his fields were soundly slumbering - In
other apartments of his splendid, dwelling;,, but
sleep on hor airy pinions came not to woo his wake
ful soul to regions of repose I .' No, no—his mind
wea too uinoh ongaged in counting over the vast
ness of his woaltn; picturing before his excited
vision the full-grown proportions of his newly con
ceived barns; devising* tho magnificent entertain
ments with which'he meant to regale his admir
ing friends. So bis soul was wauuering into tbe
troacheroas regions of tho undiscovered futarq,
counting up the years of pleasure yet to come/
when lo! suddenly aa the lightning's flash, 2 a voice
aroused him—a voice from a quarter least expected,
and most dreaded, thundered io his ear the torri
ble doom “Tius nioht!— this dying, thy soul
shall be required of thee !**
Never had Belshazzar been moro terrified when
tho miraculous hand had written his doom upon
the wall of his banqueting chamber than had this
rich man been at this midnight announcement.
Never had Saul of Tarsus been more awe-struck
whon at tho gated of Damascus he had been
stricken sightless from his horse by a light from
heaven, than had this man been on hearing his
unlooked-for doom at this silent hour of the night.
And woll it might be so. His transition from the
regions of his vision into the vestibule of eternity,
in a singlo instant, and the certainty that before
the rosy dawn of morn ho should appear in the
presenoo of a Bin-judging Jehovah, were enough
to have wrung from ni» lips tho burning confes
sion, “ ’Tis truo, I am a pool indeed!”
Bat he would ask again; Wherein did his folly
most particularly appear ? 1 '
His answer to this would be. first. “Because ke
had forgotten the claims of God /” Ho had un
dertaken to arrango for himself a train of future
happiness—had begun the work or hewing out for
himself “broken cisterns that could hold no
wator ” —had lost sight of tho living pleasures of
the future—wos indoed basking in pleasures to
somo extent of which God ( doea not,wish, to deprive
his children, bnt the matter which' pre-eminently
stamped him as a fool, wa s t 'thal-he had forgotten
tkt author of all his merries.
When ho had retired at night, good- angels had
long watched around his couch, but they beard no
voice of thankfulness offered to their Father to
Heaven. Others had mourned in penitence over
their transgressions, but he had no tears to shod
over hU eins; others had plead for favors from the
divine hand, but he had no prayer to offer; others
had prayed for light to see the trpth, but ho had
no'such desiro, for “ ho loved darkness better than
light, becauso his deeds were evil.and from all
this it was that the appellation of “ fool” had been
justly applied to him. - • ■
But his folly was apparent, ia < tbe second place ,
beoause he had forgotten the dat vis of his soul.
Ho had said, “ soul, take thino ease," and herein
had beefl eommitted bis capital mistake. What
an insult to tho soul, was this! —to undertake to
satisfy the future longings of the soul, by offering
it a species of gratification that would be equally
tempting to a brute!
“A fool!” exclaims the objeotor, with perfeot
astonishment, “ and did he not as9idnou9ly employ
his thinking faculties? did he not ask within him
self what he should do?” Yes, he admitted that
ho had askod this question; and hod it beon in bis
(tho speaker’s) province to reply, he should hare
answered him, “ toed the hungry and clothe tho
naked;” but his inquiry had not been, what he
should do to be saved ? but wh&t he should do for
his body? All bis inquiries had been concerning
matters confined to this world, entirely forgetting
tho capacities and duration of tbe soul. Here tho
spoaker inserted an emphatic pauso, and then con
tinued, that he hoped all bis hearers would duly
consider the value of an immortal soul—that ele
ment within ns which was destined- to outlive the
“war of elements, the wreck of matter, and tho
crash of words,” and withal to consider well tho
uncertain obaraotor of its earthly pilgrimage.
Poised as it were upon a little point of time, with
hcavon above, holl benouth, anu eternity beyond,
requiring but the sligbte?t vibration of Jehovah’s
breath to blow it away forever!
To ncgloct this, no mattor what might be our
earthly achievements, wc should gain nothing.
“For, what shall it profit a man (ho prayed to
God that this inquiry might sink deep into our
hearts,) if he gain the whole world and lose bis
own soul?”
But again: bo hud not only forgotten tho claims of
the toul, but alootho daimsof death. “Soul, thou
hast laid up for many years f had been bis decla
ration. Aud what a declaration this for a being
whoso breath was in his nostrils! It was well to
boar in mind that of all known uncertainties, life
was the most uncertain. Wealth, by means of
strong walls aud iron chests, might be safely se
cured; reputation, by preserving a striot correct
ness in all our walks and actions might be re
tained; butsce! how is it with human life 7 Mark
yonder Ta\lroad train flying along tho iron way
with lightniug speed—thero is n sudden crush! it
was the work ef an instant; and now we may pass
around nnong the dead, tbo dyiug, and the
wounded of that mass of living, happy buings hut
a moment before! Yes, oven to-day the realisa
tion of & scene like this had been echoed through
our stroets, and his hearers had doubtless heard of
it, or at least they should havo.
Die we must, bo ourcireumstanceswhate’erthey
may. Wo could not tell what would become
of us— yeat heavon or hell must be our destiny.
Death had come to the rich man in the text,
and at the doad hour of night laid his skeleton
baud upon him, and thundered Into his ears, -‘This
night thy soul shall be required!” Then probably
tbe first prayer had been wrung from those un
grateful lips, as he implored tbe fell messenger to
spare him hut Ull morning, that he might take
leave of hie family, or. that he might execute his
will, or. above all, that he might have, if it wore
but an hoar, to make his peace with God. But no!
the deoree of the avenger had gone forth, and was
inexorable in its domands Now was tbo tiico—
now he must die \
Oh ! how great had boon the folly of this man*—
and yet thero wore many of os quite as foolish as
he : like fools we were living, and like the aroh
infidol Voltaire, when we come to die, it would be
to “take a leap in the dark.”

man. Attbatstageottheproceedings, Lynchpro
posed to assist Fury. While thus rendering the
officer all the assistance that he could, the drunken
man fell. Lynch told Fury not to beat him; that
ho would take the man to the station house.
Fury said that he would not. Lynch released his
hold of tbe drunken man. whereupon Fury
commenced beating Lynoh and struck Lynch four
times in succession. Lynch fell; before be fell he
caught hold of a lamp at the corner of 23-1 and
Market streets, and exclaimed, “O! for God’s sake
