The recent dictim of five of the Judges -of the Supreme 111 Court'of the .'S is the MI last ea -- gtandest'atioke of the slave pow- . 'en . ; It has filled the doughfaces and • minions of the slave power with rejoic ing. , They are unspeakably elated over yhat they consider the death-knell of Black Republicanism." But we great )s mistake the Republican spirit ,uf the eatintryirthis decision of the Supreme, C t Ourt dims not,indieed of 'crushing, only stimulate them tci•ienewed and merervig _, orous action in behalf of Freedom. So . tar front setting at rest , any of the ques tions mooted between the Republican and :.Pro-slaverrparties, it is' only caleulated to;:ive iter:zest.Lto_the±discussion' Thereis . no ,doubt that the --. fivepro-sla .. very judges, who . oompese the majority. ---of-that court, went out- of:,their..way_ to give an opinion on a. variety of questions: which had nothing to do with the case' before•them." This opinion, not being a - formal jtidgmentr - will net be binding. The .only question . properlY before. the, " court was one of 'jurisdiction; and this being decided ins the negative, vas a bar to entering on the others. Hear Judge C ; McLean on thiarpojnt. •He says :-- " In this case, a majority of the •court -- have - Baidtthat - a - slave may, la - C - takelf b-y -his master into a territory of the - United States the same as a horse or 'any other kind Of property. It is true this was said by the court; as also many other thing's, which are of no authority. .Arothang ,that has been said by them, ' which has not a direct bearing on 'the jurisdistion of the court against - which they decided, .can be considered as authority. • certainly not, regard it as • such,. ' The question of jurisdiction, being before_the court, was decided bythem authoritative • ly,. but nothing beyond that question." The. efforts of these pro-slavery Judges _(remarks the-North-American)-are-cer: twin to fail. Truth and nature, and na- - ture's laws are against them.. Only in their failure and their final and despait, ,ing struggles, let thorn not pull &Wit -1,, the fabric of governtrient which they were appointed to sustain. Or, if confu sion follow their efforts, at lout4o.jtabe attributed to ith rightful authors, and not to those who. Stand . with 'Washington, .Henry,l Jefferson, Franklin, and the fath -'-ors-5,-andtcontend for_the old, and, until within a feW yeard, the uniform policy of . the kovern to out; Let the, blame rest with I those who-contend that-slavery-is - natural, national, end above. the power of ',legisla tion, and not with those who regard it as local and municipal. Judge McLean has said that he is not hound.by the Vol- . pnteer opinion of the majority Of the. Supreme Court, and Judge Curtis dissents with almost. equal force. Nor, were its decision ever so- binding, can the Supreme Court now give to sla. , very a national character. We are past all that. The meet it - can do is to-infuse fresh spirit into the slavery cohorts, and nimate them to raise newtraubles. Fer " our own part we had hoped that the. in : 7auguration of Mr. Buchanan woOld intro duce a new and auspicious era; and we lave ;been prepared—we believe a.consid erable proportion of the .North are pro pared—to support moderate and concilia tory measures emanating from it. • But. the movements in Kansas, and• the un calfedlor Obttisien of the Supreme Court on the troubled arena ,of do not augur well fpr the future. The Republi cans wish. for peace; , they desire to turn their swords-into ploughsharep,' and de • vote theniselyes Wholly to an honored and 'profitable industry.
