eta3ettt 1 Once;already, the Supreme (Court of. the
' * United States has descended from its high
function of purely judicial interpretation i
to the arena of partizan politics—and the
sullied purity Nrlis soon avenged by a revo
lotion. Once, already, have these venerable
Judges snatched from their Oviit'hotilders
the - ermine which. our fathers consecrated to
the impartial service of the Constitution and
the Law, throwing it down to preserve aris
tocratic feet from too degrading a contact
with the ,Lilierty they would trample on—
but they, miscalculated their' apt - and, in
ste& • of:saving slavery from a threatened
c ontamination, the . Sacred 'cleak Went wide

Has the great lesson—so pregnant with
solemn -warning, illustrated in so much
blood and, exemplified_ in ,ati intestine war
such as the ;world never before witnessed—
Wight: nothing, 'th this 6ptirtluent of the
Government ? Has - the Judiciary to learn
yet, after all this fearful experience, that it
shares'eqnally With its co-in = dinate branches
of the National power in the higheat duty of
preserving the' unity and pence of the Re
public ? Do Judges think, disregarding the
teachings of the past, that they may again—
withottt striking a blow at the National
peace which will shake theithernment and
convulse the people,—attempt to dispute the
logic of events, to arrest the march of civil
liberty, and to inanzurate another rebellion
for the restoration of that accursed system
which the firs - t, revolt had failed to main.
thin?
As usual in all cases before the Suprenie
Court where a. decision may promise par
tizan advantage to the Democracy, ' the
forthcoming judginent iu the. MeArdle case
is..counted on by therm 'as. sure, to be Inthe
interests of their party, and meavorable to
the constitutionality of the.Reconstructioz,
Acts. The anticipation may prove to be un
founded, as similar anticipations .hak - e often"
iJfaved before. ' But 'the s utter . absence .in
this case of any outgiving' or predietilms to
the contrary, is -not a very_ cheering sign.' ,
The confident declarations of. Democratic
journalists arc i Correspondents, who pmtlnd
to knots:.-.whereof they prophesy, have hint
yet.been met by a solitary contradiction.
And there are other indications, in Con-.
.gress as well as out of it, that =these appre-,
hensions rest upon soine Solid basis.
If a majority of the Judges do really pro
pose to declare the ' Reconstruction Acts un
constitutional, it will he evident that them
ignore the effect of rebellion upon the politi-•
cal status of the South, and that they mis- .
apprehend the consequenees of their de
cision. If they assume' the responsibility,
thus a second time, of attempting, to con_
.
trol, no matter upon what pretext, a ques-
tion purely political—and in its 'matrnitude
par mount to any in the National history,
.not even exceptin,g the rebellion of which it
is a -legitimate* wnsequener.!--it - will be a:
proof that they consider-net that the rebellion
Is\ ended, bid' that -no rebellion Inns ever ex
isted.— •

THE PETROLEUM TAX.
The Senate has amended the. Rouse bill,
relieving certain domestic manufactures
from tax, by abating onelialf of the tax on
petroleum and its produCts. Ae the vole
was close, 221620, it is not yet certain that
'a full Senate may sustain it. Nor is it cer
tain that the Honse will concur.. But we
are led to hope not only that the burthen
upon this important interest thus be

moved:: No fact is more conclusively es
tablished than that our refiners arc, unable
to compete with the , trade in Europe; who,

taken'on the day before the adjornmenti of
the Court, and Justice Grier had left for,his
home. Had he been present; it is supposed
the Motion would have Prevailed.
The Text Oath Case—Reid that Congress

test, in the nature of what is commonly

&ne Case—The Conrt being a Oe,_ the

it might be, must fall. A difference ol'opin

judgment- in such a case. The consequence
was, no judgment at all was rendered, and
neither State gained anything by the litig,a

as in the preceding case.

a conclusion; that the. judges should an
