Bet"ep 'dr sni

Kansas
This afflicted Territory ~semi destined to a
prolongation of evils. lts Governor, Col. Geary,
after a six months' trial, in which he labored in
cessantly, and won for himself the high reputa
tion of impartiality, combined with heroism and
zeal, has resigned. He found himself in a posi
tion where, to discharge his official duties hon
estly, required a power with which lie was not
clothed; and hence, to. leave the post was the
only alternative for an upright mind.
The Governor was hi our city, on Thursday
night of last week, oa his way to Washington,
accompanied by his private Secretary. He will
lay the affairs of the Territory before the Presi
dent. It is affirmed in the papers, very positive
ly, that the Government will urge the return of
Col. Geary to Kansas, and will give him full
power to carry out his views in the equitable and ,
just administration of the public affairs.
The removal of Judge Lecompte is regarded, - 1
as it seems, as an indispensable. President
Pierce had nominated another person to super-
sede the Judge, but the Senate did not - Confirm.,
the appointmeht, and Judge L. was left in office.
To have a fair election, in which all the bona
file settlers may vote, and none others—as the
laws of Kansas are, and as the administrators of
law are—is a problem not easily to be solved.
Perhaps a good Judiciary, and a good Governor,
and both well sustained by the National Govern
ment,
may, by intich unraveling, and a little cut
ting, dissolve the Knot. If the settlers are not
to enjoy the benefits of the National laws, let
them then have the privilege of governing them
selves, under a fair and full expression of senti
ment through the ballot boxes. Ins Farewel
Address to the people, the Governor speaks fa
vorably of the body of them, as law-abiding and
conservative. The troubles ho attributes to
schemers who have ends to accomplish not ger
main with the permanent interests of the
Territory.
[ It is said that Gov. *Geary's resignation is
positive, and is accepted ; but that a new appoint
ment will be made, to carry. out the principles of
equal rights to the settlers.]
Decision in the Dred Scott Case.
The decision of the United States .Supreme
Court in this case has been delivered by Chief
Justice Taney. it is a full and elaborate state
ment of the views of the Court. They have de
cided the following, which are important points:
Firft. That negroes, 'whether slaves or free'•,
that is, men of the African race; are not citizens
cf the United States by the Constitution.
Second. That the ordinance of 1787 had no in
dependent constitutional force or legal effect sub
sequent to the adoption of the constitution and
oould not operate of itself to confer freedom, or
citizenship, within the North-Western territory,
on negroes not citizens by the Constitution.
Third. That the provision of the Act of 1820,
commonly called the Missouri Compromise, is,
so far as it undertook to exclude negro slavery
from, and communicate freedom and citizenship
to negroes in the Northern part of the Louisi
ana secession, was a legislative act, exceeding the
powers of Congress, and of no legal effect to that
.end.
In deciding these main points, the Supreme
Court determined the following points: The ex
pression "Territory and other property of the
Union," in the Constitution, applies in terms only
to such territory as the Union possessed at the
time of the adoption of the Constitution. •
2. The rights of the citizens of the United States
emigrating to any Federal territory, and the
power of the Federal government there, depend
on the general provisions of the Constitution,
which defines in this, as in all other respects, the
powers of Congress.
3. As Congress does-not possess the power itself
to make enactments in relation to the persons or
Property of citizens of the United States in
Federal territory, other than such as the Constitu
tion confers, so it cannot constitutionally delegate
any such powers to a territorial government or
ganized by Wunder the Constitution.
4. The legal condition of a slave in the State of
Missouri is not affected by the temporary sojourn
of such slave in any other State; but on his re
turn his condition still depends on the laws of
Missouri. As the plaintiff was not a citizen of
Missouri, and, therefore, could not sue in the
Courts of the United States, the suit must be dis
missed for•want of jurisdiction.
Justice Nelson stated to the merits of the case ;
the question being whether or not the removal, of
Scott:from Missouri, with his master, to Illinois,
with a view of temporary residence, worked his
emancipation. He maintained that the question
depended solely on the law of Missouri, and for
that reason the judgment of the Court below
should be affirmed.
Justice Cation believed that the Supreme Court
had jurisdiction to decide the merits of the case.
He argued' that Congress could not do directly
what it could not do indirectly. If it could ex
chide one. species of property it could another.
With regard to the territories ceded, Congress
could govern them only with the restriction.of the
States which ceded them, and the Missouri act of
1826 violated the leading features of the Constitu
tion. It was therefore void. He concurred with
his brother Judges that Scott is a slave, and was
so when the suit was brought.
JUDGE U'LEAN'S DIBSENTING.OPINION
In the United States Supreme Court, Jus
tice M'Lean delivered his views, arguing that
slavery is limited to the range of the State where
established by mere municipal law. If Congress
deem slaves, or free colored persons, injurious to
the territory, they have the power to, prohibit
them from becoming settlers therein. The power
to acquire territory carries with it the power to
govern it. The master does not carry with him
to the territory the law of the State from which'
he removes—hence the Missouri Compromise is
constitutional, and the presumption is in favor of
the freedom of Dred Scott and his family, who
were free under decisions for the last twenty
eight years.
JUSTICE CURTIS dissented from the opinion of the
majority. of the Court, as delivered by Chief
Justice Taney, and gave his reasons for dissent
ing.
He maintained that native born colored persons
can be citizens of the State and the United States;
that Dred Scott and his family were free when
they returned to Missouri ; that the" power of
Congress to make all needful regulations respect
ing territory, was not, as the majority of the
Court expressed, limited to territory belonging to
tne United States at the time of the adoption of
the Constitution, but has been applied to five
subsequent acquisitions of lands; that Congress
has power to exclude sfavery from the territories,
having established eight territorial governments
without it, and recognized slavery in six, from
the days of Washington to John Quincy Adams.

The steamer ...4.lps brings news from Liverpool
to March 4th.
The English Ministry were defeated, in the
Bouse of Commons, on their policy relative to
the Chinese war, by a vote of two hundred and
sixty:three against two hundred and forty-seven.
Mnjority against ministers, sixteen. But it was
not thought that the Ministry would resign.
They had been amply sustained in the House of
Lords, and their policy in regard to China
would be changed.
The Emperor of China has prohibited his sub'
jests from trading with the English, under pain
of death The Mandarins of the various districts
had issued the most bloody edicts against the
English, and offered rewards f6r tbeir.assassina
tion, or the destruction of their property. They
had ordered the Chinese in Hong Kong to quit
the service of foreigners; and in consequence of
the threat of death against their relatives at home,
most of them have complied with the order.
Other accounts say that the proceedings of the
English had so incensed the Chinese, not only in
China, but in Hong Kong and Singapore, that
great apprehensions existed for the safety of the
foreign population. All the Western suburbs of
Canton were burned by the English ; and a fire
inside spread until the whole place was in flames.
This was on the 12th of January; and as the
latest Hong Kong date was only the 16th, the re
sult was not known. A well concerted attack on
the English fleet, by an immense Chinese fleet of
junks, caused Admiral Seymour to adanden the
Dutch Fort and Factory Gardens, and strengthen
his position lower down the river.
A letter from Hong-Kong, dated January 16th,
says
I am hardly able to hold my pen to write you a.
few lines, being, tinder the influence of a strong
emetic, taken to avoid the effects of poisoned
bread, eaten at this morning's breakfast.. Mr.
—. Mr. —, and myself were seized with vio
lent fits of vomiting immediately after leaving the
table; and I have just been informed that the
whole town has been more or less affected in the
same way, by bread baked by a Chinese shopman.
We are so surrounded by the scoundrels, that it
is hardly pos.sible to guard against their designs ;
and the atrocious blood money - edicts issued by
the Canton government, have set on foot a sys
tem of assassination and kidnapping.
Now (his state of things will end, it is impossi
ble to say; but, .notwithstanding the injury to
- our interests, I cannot regret that the Canton
people are at last about to meet their deserts.
Trifling as was the original matter in dispute, the
time must leave come, sooner or later, when the
humiliating position 9f foreigners could be no
longer endured. At the other porta, it is alto
gether different. The Canton people are as much
bated by the Northerners, as foreigners are lathe
South ; and the Shanghosmen openly express their
satisfaction at the action of our navy. Whether
this feeling will continue when they hear of our
delay in enforcing terms, I do not know.

A. treaty between Persia and England was
signed at Paris, March ad. A Paris letter says
The French and Turkish ministers at Teheran
have received instructions to support England in
the present difference with Persia. The former,
in particular, has been charged by his Govern
ment to urge on the Shah the necessity of ratify
ing the treaty which has been negotiated in Paris,
and the draft of which has been submitted to the
English Government, and otherwise to co-operate
to the utmost of his power to yard the satisfactory
solution of the question. If Russian influence be
not uppermost when the treaty is received at
Teheran, it will be ratified ; if otherwise, the
chances are, as I have already mentioned, against
us. In the meantime, it is stated that an armis
tice has been agreed on between the officers com
manding the British troops in Persia and the Per
elan forces. The armistice' will be in force for
three months, and will date from the Ist of
March. Three months would be about the time
for the treaty to reach Teheran, and an answer
to be received.
Spain.
The Spanish Ministry have addressed a note to
the representatives of Spain at the European
Courts, explaining the quarrel with Mexico. The
expedition to concentrate at Elavana;- will alto
gether consist of thirty vessels of war, and will
have a numerous army on board. The Spanish
Government deplores the necessity of resorting to
such measures toward anation united to Spain
in blood. language, and religion; but it hopes
everybody will understand the, obligations it is
under to avenge the national dignity.
Greece.
An attempt seems to have been meditated by a
young man, on the life of Otho, King ,of Greece ;
but it cannot have originated in political feeling,
for Otho is popular.

that a dissolution would take place in May ; and

policy with regard to China; and he hoped, with,

The signing of the treaty of peace with Persia,
(had been officially announced in the House of

was his; and no doubt he often looked forward to \many
happy days , which he had in anticipation. But Death that
destroyer of all human hopes, came with a summons Which
could not be disobeyed, and he must go; he must bid adieu
to all the scenes of earth ; he must leave his young wke,
with her little babe; in the care of that God who lies said,
'‘ Leave* thy fatherless children ; 'I will preserve them alle4
and let thy widows trust in me." His sufferings were short,\
but severe. He lay speechless for several hours before he
died. His wife stood by his bed side, with her babe in her ,
arms, pleading with him to talk to her; but his voice was
forever hushed. lie laid his band upon hie child's head, as '
if to give it a dying father's blessing; then, without a strug

We would mourn for the young husband and father; but
yet we would rejoice to know, that we sorrow not as those

have been consistent with his profession; and it was said of

circle of sorrowing relatives and friends. to feel the bereave
ment which death occasions, when it Calls to the tomb a
husband, a parent, a son, and brother. The deceased was
raised in the bosom of the Presbyterian Church; and al
though he respected and defended its forms and doctrine, he
did not make a public profession of religion until a few
Weeks before his death. Many times in his life, serious im
pressions, conviction of sin, concern for the Salvation of his
soul visited bin ; but not until two months before he died,
was he brought meekly and humbly to the footof the Cross.
Conviction, repentance, faith, and new obedience followed.
Re mourned over a sinful and unprofitable life. Christ be
came his theme, and sU his hope; and, leaning upon him,
he came down into the "valley and shadow of death" with
a firm and unfaltering step. And so he is gone. We trust
that "Jesus summoned him away;" "his Saviour called
him horae."

from a numerous list of recommexMatory notices:"
Letter from Rev. W. LINDSAY ALEXANDER, D. D., Ed
inburgh:
"I have examined with care the edition of the Bible
published by Messrs. Cowan & Co., and edited by the REV.
Dr Lea. Itis very carefully and correctly printed, in aclear
type, and - with a neat page. The 'Marginal References are
excnilent, guiding the reader to really parallel passages and
phrases, and thereby, at a little expense of labor, affording
him material ambiance in the study of the Sacred Word.
The editor has. with great judgment, discarded the onerous
farrago usually heaped together under the title of
References," and has retained only such as tend to elucidate
the passage to which they relate.
"July 4,1556."
Prom Rey. JOHN BROWN, D. D., Professor of Divinity of
the 'United Presbyterian Church, Edinburgh:
"While the present edition presents a collection of Refer
ences aulflciently ample, and in the name of the editor, gives
a guarantee for the judicious selection of parallels. it has
made provision for. easy - consultation above any Remote
Bible we are acquainted with."
From Rev. T. iii.ROLAY, D. D'; Currie:
" This edition of the Bible, with References, ac., revised
and arranged by Professor Robert. Lee, I regard as the most,
valuable of the many popular editions that have been pub
lished of late years. (frost judgment appears to have been
evinced in selecting those References only which are appro
priate; and it vrill be difficult to point out an instance in
which any Reference, deserving that character, has been
omitted"
From Rev. AROHIRALD BAIRD, D. D., Paisley:
"In addition to the excellence of type, the Reference■
thernseives,-so three I have gone in the examination, are
direct and appropriate, and fitted to make Scripture its own
interpreter.!'
From Rev. JOHN COOK, D. D, St. Andrews :
I willingly concur in recommending Siteuwit. Cowan h
Co.'s edition of the Bible, as containing many References
well selected and .conveniently arranged, and also a select
number of the lintel Marginal Readings."
From Rev. JAIIES CRAIG, D. D., Glasgow ;
•" have no healtation.in recommending this copy of the
Scriptures as well fitted for the use of those who wish to re
fer to parallel pasteiges when reading the Bible."
From Rev. DAVID CRICHTON, Free Church. Arbroath:
"I have rometimea been disappointed on examining pee
sages marked In some Reference Bibles as parallel, to dis
cove r that they had no real, or at least important bearing on
that with which they wore made to appear connected: hay
ing. however, turned up some of these given in the editicu
by Messrs. Cowan & Co., already mentioned, I find them to
be moat appropriate."
Extract of a letter from Rev. ROBERT B. NICHOL, Free
Church, Galashiels:
I bare no hesitation In saying, that by your new Befer
enee Bible,you have laid our Bible-reading populatiCn un
der great bligations."
Brom Rev. D i,VID RING, LL. D., Glasgow:
".& judicious selection of References has been made, and
the use of them hue been facilitated by placing them under
Abe verses to which they relate. Marginal renderings,
which appeared to be unimportant or incorrect, have been
replaced by others better fitted to Illustrate the text. Burl
an edition of the Scriptures will, no doubt, be prized by the
Christian public."
From Hey. WILLIAM P%UL, D. D., BanchoryDevenick
I much approve of the new arrangement of the Refer
ences and various Renderings in the Diblejunt published by
Messrs. Cowan & Co."
prom per. D. D., Professor of Divinity,
Aberdeen:
" I have examined your edition of the Bible with Refer
ences, and have much pleasure in certifying, that your plan of
subjoining the References appears to me well calculated to
facilitate a comparison of the parallel passages; and that
the selection of References seems to ho judicious with a view
to the illustration of the sacred text."
From Rev. GEORGE JEFFREY, Glasgow:
" I think it espeeially a good Bible for the youth of our
Sabbath Schools."
Prom Rev. JOHN M'RAE, nawick
I think it a great and decided improvement upon the
editions in common use, and it will give me much pleasure
to recommend its circulation in the Pariah."
From Rev. WILLIAM MURRAY. Melrose:
"There is no confusion among the References, or diMeulty
In finding them, as in other Bibles; they meet the eye at
once; and being of ti different type, are no barrier to the
xontinuous reading of the text. They ape at the same time,
very select and appropriate, instead of being, as is too often
the case. unnecessarily and injudiciously multiplied. Alto
gether, the edition. seems to be the ve7 beet of its kind."
From Rev. JOHN SMYTH, D. D., Glaegow:
"I, have greet pleasure in recommending the , New
Lion . of the Bible with References,' as greatly preferable to
the usual method of presenting parallel passages to the
I reader."
From Rev. HARRY STUART, Oatblaw
" May the Lord bless and prosper this edition of his Holy
Word!"
From Rev. OHARLES THOMSON, Free ()brach. Wick:
" Niesers. Conran k Co.'s edition of the Holy Scriptures
with References, ia deserving of high commendation. It is
a great improvenienton the usual referential Bibles."
From Rev. W. R. TWERDIS, D D., Edinburgh:
"I have examined, with some care, the new edition of the
Bible issued by Meters. Cowan k Co.. of Edinburgh, and
mos. rowdily attest the conviction, that it is a great improve
ment upon all tbUeditions that I bays seen..
From Rev. JOIIN THOMSON, Paleley:
f The plan adopted in this new edition Is fitted to be of
great practical utility e nd advantage, both to minietere and
people. To caluileters, especially in preparing lectures out
large portion of Scripture, ft Is fitted to be of great a iyan
tags, by furnishing them at the end of each verse with a
limited number of well-seleeted parallel passages"
From Rev. ADAM THOMSON, D D., Coldstream:
" An elitlon Which, along with its high excellence in
every other respett, is so eminently fitted to promote and
facilitate the comparing of Scripture with Scripture, merits,
as I trust it will receive, a very wide circulation."
Front Rey. JOHN'WILLIR, D. D., Carluke :
'I purpose recommending your edition to my people on •
Sabbatb. '
From Rev. ROBERT CRAIG, Rothessy:
" I regard your new edition of the Bible as an important
improvement on our Pocket Bibles, carrying, in Itself, as it
does, ita own illuminative References; in general, well
chosen. and of easy application to whatever seems dark or
difficult"
From Rev. JOIIN LONOPIIIIR. A. M., Minister of Mari
inera' Church, and Lecturer in King's College, Aberdeen:
Having examieed the Bible lately published by Maestro.
Cowan A Co., I have much pleasure in bearing my testimony
toils general excellence. Cordons and just parallel passages
ere ea culated, in a great measure, to supply the plate of
a Commentary to the poor but earnest student; and he has
the high satisfaction of knowing that, in this case, "God is
his owu interpreter" Many of the marginal readings. or
translations, are preferable to those that have been adopted
in the text."
From a Review in the SCOTSMAN NEWSPAPER :
"Its greatest merit consists in the judicious selection of
References,,in the no less, judicious rejection of many that
are inappropriate, and in the insertion f a great number of
new parallels that solve difficulties and correct erroneous
glosses. This Bible will assuredly , become the most popular
of all those published with References."
From the GLASGOW SATURDAY POST:
"Those new editions ere vast improvements on any hithl
arts published. The References are amply sufficient. and
have been most judiciously selected; while the simplicity
nod ease of Reference is everything that could be desired."
