Lred Scott Decision.
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. Two who were so
old as to be unable to cam their living,
he checrfnUe l a...:? < -!_ i;~
?.? ? J >iw|/^wiA>v>,a lives,
lie l;as not sineo owned a slave. This
is full and com [dele answer to the stalertumts
often reiterated in the republican
papers that a majority of the court wen
slaveholders, and as such had been itrllu
.enced iu making their decision.
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. If thjey can ir. this way se
cure a reading by teirs of thousands of
persons every day, this is just what thev

?The New hurry port Uer.ihi iciaU's the
experience of a frieiul, just returned fru;;i
the West. lie says :
Jlero is the whole story. We com
pliiin of hard times, and go West to Let
ter our condiron. If we would live in a
log or mmj house will; one room and no
floor, sleep 011 straw, go barefooted, wear
the cheapest ami coarsest clothes, and de
privo ourselves of all the comforts of life,

labor, be as rich in seven years as upon

if there were hundreds thus squatting,
they could get up a land fever, speculate
\n lots, and have the prices go up as they
do in the West.
What people save in the new Slates
they crush out of themselves, and that
they do anywhere. All the advantages
they have, is the privilege of living as
mean *a?d bei;jg as mean, and having
th^ir children as mean, as human nature
will hear, with nobody t^j find fault
with it; while here, living in the same
manner, they would separate from the
masses, as much as the gipsies do. If

DEATH BY DROWNING!.
A g>nllernun writing to u* from Monroe, !
N. C., furnishes the follow ing particulars of J
n melancholy accident that occurred near i
that place :
"On Saturday, 37th June lint, Mr. Archibald
Hlount, a man deformed by the effect*
of rheniim'.Urn, his knee being draw n up to I
Ids body, and his lower extremities being j i
entirely useless, was drowned in John Med- !
Iiii'h p?ill pond, about two miles from Mon- |
roe. Ue yveot oi|t in a small bateau iplo | I
the pond tp fish, and just after leaving tlie |
bank, whilst padd]jng, the eupop tilted, at.d i I
he, having no use of hi* lp\yer extremities. (
fell out and was drowned. JJp was about i
3i years of age. There w as s small negro I
boy belonging tc Mrs. Blount in the U>teau, 11
with U)? dtxewed, tod * young Sir. SioCor. j ]
kle on the bank, but they were so much alarmed
they could afford no assistance and
their efforts were directed to saving the '
.negro boy.
The deceased was found and taken out I
in about two hours. No one knew what to j
?io, and some thought it would be improper
!L) tone 11 Liu, until a Coroners inquest was
held over liitn. Some people believe that
ii' a man appears to be dead, 'hat jio one
must interfere with him, until an impiest is
held over him. when by proper interference
and assistance, t,hey might saw l;fc. Persons

I in our opinion, should have been done long

joins the delivery of tho mails upon the

hours. Kverv locality, doubtless, is ineon- j
\enienccd by it to some extent. A delay i

HON W. W. BOYCE.
This gentleman, who has recently been j
Qonenntcd for the United Sutes Senate, in
a letter to the Carolina 'I'imrs. declines entering
into competition for that position,nnd
states that he is on'irelv satisfied with the
position which he now occupies ns a Rep.
resentativo of the people. 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.
We glvo the concluding portion of hia
letter :
"I consider this* he moat important election
foi the Senate over had in thin State
nince the formation of tho Government.? I
I bhall not d\v?dl upon tt>e desirableness of ;
preserving the pro*tige pf the State for intellect.
We all feel this I rue to higher
ground. The condition of public affair*,
Kansas slipping from our grasp, W?ll<i?r
iecreeing freedom by infinite argument of
manifest destiny and very "cold winds from
the mountains," the Administration voiie!e*s
as the grave, the democratic party,
North, juUU^t. i
"Surely, if danger ever necessitated wis. |
dom of action, it is now.
I earnestly hope, therefore, that the action
of the State may be of the wisest. l'itb'ic
opinion in South Carolina has always, hitherto,
in great emergencies, risen to their
level. I trust it will do .so now, and that
the high mission of Senator may he eonferrid
under I lie exclusive influence of great I
considerations of public interest.'*
