The Opinion. The hour at which we were forced to go to press yesterday, necessarily compelled us to allude very briefly to the opinion of the Supreme Court in the Dred Scott case. We have now to say, that as read by Mr. Chief Justice Taney, it decides thai: 1. Negroes, whether slaves or frte?that is, v men of the African race?are not citizens of the United Slates by (lie Constitution. 2. The ordinance of 17S7 had no independent constitutional force or legal effect subsequently to the adoption of the Constitution, and could not operate of itself to confer freedom or citizenship within the North west Tcr, ritory on negroes not citizens by the Constitution. 3. The provision of the act of 1820, commonly called the Missouri Compromise, in bo far as it undertook to exclude negro slavery TTOTU and coujuiUnrcate freedomand cUTseuottlp to nerrroes iii the northern part of the Louisi am cession, was a legislative act exceeding the powers of Congress, and void and of no legal effect to that end. . In deciding these main points, the Supreme Court dtteruiiued also the following incidental points: *. 1. The expression "territory and other property''of the Union in die Constitution npplies in terms only to such territory as the Union possessed at the time of the adoption of the i- Constitution. 2. The rights of citizens of the LJuiled States , emigrating into any Federal Territory, aiid the power of the Federal Government there, depends on the'general provisions of the Consti tution, which define in this, as iu till other re spccts, the powers of Congress. 3. As Congress does not posses* power itself to make enactments relative to the persons or property of citizens of the United Slates iri Federal territory, other than such as ^jie Constitution confers, so it canuot constitutionally delegate any such powers to a Territorial Gov eminent organized by it under the Cpnstitutioo. 4. The legal condition of h slave in the State i if Missouri is not a flirted -by the temporary >jouru of such slave in any other Stale, hut mi his return his condition still depends on the laws of Missouri. The delivery of this opinion occupied about two hours, and was listened to with profound attention, by a crowded court room; and, whetli er as a decUiothof the Supreme Court or for the c onstitutional arguments on which it stands, v. ill work a |>o wtiful influence throughout the United States. Its conclusions were concurred i t, we understand, by six of the Justices of tha Court?namely, Justice?, Taney, Wayne, Catron, Daniel, Grier. anil Campbell. Mr. Justice Nels<>n read an opinion, in. which he did not enter into-the. constitutionality of . -t> i-Wtmu__C~xj-- ' ? ULi'i ?'"V ground 'and affirmed the judgment of the Court" l*.-tow, that a slave c-rried into a free State, whatever might be the laws'of that State, remained a >lave whenever reluming to the State/ in which his owner resided. Mr. Justice Catron also delivered an 'opinion, in which 'liu frvednin'of the-North west .'ftefVitory was made t<> be the act of. the State of.Virginia. which was the original propi ietorM the I Ar t? til il iiflii/iU ul/kltn u'lifi Viol Pitnnrrocfl iriiuwi ni.u ^ivnv, niin ??uu had the right to prohibit slavery there, lie expressed himself in very decided terms ngalntt ihe constitutionality of the Missouri Coruproll) 8fc.

The misei able Black Republicans, who ubjet to the anoronriate manifestation of bublic seni inent over tlie body of ibis chivalrous ion >f South Carolina, have celenraled the rritcs)f their class, in the recently developed brilu-y and corruption' of their leaders.

Thecmmittee, sent from South Carolina, performd its duty: in a way^utum the public ey e. bad miration, from the sad sepcoiade of thereiaius of Brooks, to the noble niidaccompH-died ^*rd, which bore liis lamented dust.

A Proper Subject For Legislation. Wo regard it as a great evil that the citizen who, in t lie faithful dischaige of duties imposed upon iiiin as a public servant, should be made liable by the laws of the land to pecuniary damage on account of his strict conformity to the rules prescribed for his conduct in such capacity, and supposed that the Legislature would interpose in such a case to save him harmless. It is not so, however; the citizen who undertake a puhlic service, runs the hazard of serious loss, if in the execution of its duties lie happens to give occasion of offence to another. We have special reference to a case within our knowledge, in which citizens of the District were put to considerable expense of costs in defending an action brought against them as managers of elections for refusing votes on the ground of Color. The object of the plaintiffs in oltrlng tiielr votevwa* to make the issue in Court, that their status might he established ? the votes were refused?the managers were sued, and the jury found a verdict for the defendants, the managers, thus endoising and sustaining them ir. their refusal to "revive their profered votes;-yet the plaintiff beiirg "nulla bona" the defendants are required to pay some SI50 or 8200 costs. Application was made to the Legislature at its last session for relief, but the House refused it?so these public officers, for no offence in the world except their zeal to preserve the purity of the ballot box are mulct' in a severe penalty, to say nothing oft he "Fees" which their counsel required them to pay for his anhiM /W.J W mat ItiP U'ltof nnininn ???.r <mn mot" OVI VIVV9* v Jiiubtvf niifib vpiliuu |?II1 Uliv lUtt^ | have had as (o the propriety of.iheir refusing the votes in the fust instance all must now admit that they were correct, inasmuch as an inteligent jury,' before whom all the facts of the case came in review has passed upon it, and pronounced in their favor. We repeat it, it is a ha'd'ense;-require6 legislation, otherwise, it will be n gro?n imposition upon an honest man to put hitn in a position of public trust, with no salary attached, and re quire him to act under the solemn obligation of an oath. The duties of citizenship do not in' our humble estimation require anyst'eh sacrific as this. Because a man is competent to administer jUie laws in the''capacity of manager of election-, it does not follow that he owes it to the community to pledge his private means for . the faithful performance of the duties attached, to thu office, much less ought lie to he subjected-'to loss or injury w hen he has done for the tSublie, all that the public could deniaiid. ; . ^ ?

We are Informed *f;oin an authentic A source that the lion. Mr. -'flutyor, the leading ^ spirit in the orgamiznlion of the Kansas emi grant aiJ societies of the North, has, in con- 1 juurlion with some o'her enterprising individu J als, resolved-upon tha practical experiment of a great Northern Emigrant Aid Soeie'y. for the { relief, resuscitation and regeneration of Old Virginia. The plan is simple enough, entirely feasible, 1 and wid no doubt, if put into practi^p, prove c amnfensely prtdilablo. It is proposed to raise a capital <-f tlirc-C or four millions, and to use it in the hands of an enterprising company? B first, in the purchase of some of the millions c ^f the waste and worn out lands of Virginia ^ (especialI}' of Eastern Virginia;) and, secondly, in the settlement of thoSe lands by Northern and European colonists, allowing to each faini- 5 ly from fifty to two hundred acres;- thirdly, it is proposed to establish factories, villages, ^ schools, Ac., at eligible sites, The results anticipated are?first, such large j profits to the company as will enable them to ^ extend very largely th ir sphere of operations; secondly, the introduction into Virginia, in the g course. of eight or ton years, of at least two hum g dred thousand emigrants, without niggers ; ? thirdly, the rnpiil development of the dormant .j, agricultural, commercial, manufacturing and ^ mineral resources of the State; fourthly, such >p an im[)etus to the policy of free white labor as will speedily dissipate the existing system ?? ( slave labor; and, lastly, tlio triumphant o<cas-r? sion of the great common wealth of Virginia ' j? to the freo States of the Union. Such is the present grand emigrant aid pro- . jeet of Mr. Thayor and his associates; and such, in brief, are their calculations. To some ex-*, tent, in Fairfax county, for example, these T Northern colonists have .been tried, and have la proved highly successful to all concerned. But la the subject is a great one, the scheme is a tl grand one, anJ the field so inviting that we shalT E touch it. again. What say our Virginia news- W paper colemporaries? : ffl N. 7. Herald.

The decoy took admirablv. At a given place in Ohio a portion of the market articles wore unloaded, a part of the gang took^lhem in charge, and the train passed on. They were tracW to Buffalo, N.
