Speaking of the decision in tlie Dred Scot. case, the Washington Union tints vindicates the Judges of the Supreme Court of lite United States front the charge that the majority were influenced bv interest in giving their decision : ' N otwithstanding nil that has been said in Republican p ipe s and by orators of that fair tv, the m.tj rrily o ilie Supreme Court are not alaveho'ders. Four of the J ustice> reside in Free States, where no one owns slaves. The Chief Justice is not a slaveholder, nor has he been lor upwards of thirty years. He myer bought or sqM a slave. Of those the British spared his father, when they polluted the soil of Maryland; sotne came to him by inheritance. After edit eating those who were you tiff enough to bo taught, and uiialifying them to take care of themselves, he voluntarily gave them their freedom.

Advertising. The St. Louis Republican, in conclud img a congratulatory notice of its prosper ity aijd success, says of advertising; The truth is, advertising has become :i great featuro in the business of the conn try. No merchant can better understand this than those who engage in it most ex tensively. The prominent advertisements of otir fancy goods dealers, and of our wholesale inerchants^spread all over these pages, best attest the estimation in which tbey hold it.

HON W. W. BOYCE.

All. we ore sumo, are aware ?>f the important part Mr. | Bovce has Liken in reference to the Tariff, and this, he sLites, in a question that pec it* j iiarly appertains Jp the tjonso, and an it is i his earnest desire to contribute to the ul'.i- j mate triumph of t!io great pause of Free Trade and direct taxation, he few la that his present sphere of usefulness is in the pop* ular branch of the Government. In eonneetion with the subject of the approaching election for U. S. Senator, Mr. Boyee uses the following language, winch is t certainly entitled to serious consideration. We are no alarmist, and are not prepared to endorse the opinions set forth by a very respectable portion of the preas qf th'u State, in regard to the present condition of the South and her relation to the General Government ; but Mr. Boyee, we know to j he eminently conservative, sound in his judgment, which lifts ever been chnracteri zed ?y discreetness and moderation ;? j and henue, we any, that hi* notion* upon Federal matter*, u:e entitled to great weight.
