A discordant Note.
The decision of the Supreme Court of
the United States in the " Dred Scott"
case, is a most unfortunate one, inasmuch
I as it has a tendency to disturb, rather than
! quiet the public mind, on the subject of
: slavery. Had the Judges deeided the
i question of jurisdiction alone, which was
I the only question properly before them,
j there could have been no cause of com.
I plaint, however much many micht have
differed in opinion. It is said that since
' the delivery of the dissenting opinions of
Judge McLean and J udgo Curtis, the
Chief Justice, and his associates who con-
: currcd with him, have materially altered
their opinions. Such facts are calculated
1 to impair public confidence in this, our
highest tribunal of justice. Suniury A-
msrican (Democrat.)
The article on "The Main Link," in
the Chronicle of 10th iust., should also
have been credited to the American.

At the Ratification meeting in flarris
bnrg, held on the 28th ult. to eudorse the
selection by the People's State Convention
of VTitmnt, Millward, Veech, and J.J. Lewis,
Hon. John C. Kunkel made an eloquent
and powerful speech, which was reported
in the Telegraph.'
Mr. Kunkel said he did not come here
to submit to the nomination of David
Wilmot for Governor, but be came to hail
it not to acquiesce in it as a necessity,
but to rejoice at it not to say to his fellow-citizens,
that, as we had scut delegates
to the nominating Convention, we were

but to say that, in bis judgment, it was

'
and in every way fit to be made. David
' '
tlmot was tbe foremost man of his age.
Where, in tbe history of Pennsylvania,
can such a spectacle be presented, as the

tion wbicb nominated Jlr. Wilmot, adop-
ted a platform of principles, and Mr. Wil
mot takes the nomination as the represeu-
utive of those principles. Among the
resolutions adopted, is tbe following :

But when everything else fails, the
cry of tbe enemy would be, Wilmot is an
Abolitionist ! Mr. K. said he bad no pa
tience with this charge. It was false, ut
terly false, and those who made it knew
it to be a lie. It bad served its turn
i h rice in Pennsylvania.and Mr. K. thought
it would now meet tbe contempt it deserv
ed. Wbo, he asked, tbat did not swear
in the words of the ever varying creed of
tbe Democratic party on tbo subjeet of

thet J He, himself, bad gone to Con

districts of Pennsylvania, entertaining tha
most conservative views on tbe Slavery
question, and yet, because ho bad voted
for Mr. Banks for Speaker, and for tbe
investigation of the Kansas election frauds
be was takon and reputed an abolitionist.
If one protest against tbe extension of Sla
very, adhering to the policy tbat prevailed
in tho General Government, from the
days of Washington to Polk, ho is an ab

his belief that all men have God for their
Father, and are, therefore, a eommon
brotherhood, be is an abolitionist. Head

stigmatised and sent back an abolitiouist ;
later, Geary, from the same political fold,
went with the endorsement of the chief
men of his party everywhere, and because
he would not prostitute the functions of
his office to fasten slavery on Kansas, is
liable to assassination, compelled to re
sign, and branded as an abolitionist. All

A Pick Case. Memphis is decidedly
a great place in its way. A few days since
a case was pending in the Common Law
Court of that city in which a Mr. and Mrs.
Helbing had sued Philip R. Bohlen, for
breach of marriage contract, in failing to
marry Mrs. Helbing when aha waa Miss
Agnes Handwerker, and the jury haa giv
en tbo injured parties $1,250 damages !
Tho idea of Helbing suing Bohlen because
he did not marry hia wife, is certainly tbo
richest thing of this fast ago.
