THE JOURNAL.

NEW rXDTJCEMEIVTS TO CLUES I In view* of the strong disposition ot our peopie to patronizo cheap eastern publications, and j: that too, to the great injury of their own county papers and in order to compete with those p.ipcrs, and thus extend our circulation by placing v: our terms within the roach of every man in the county—we have been induced to put the price of the Journal down to the following extremely low figures, hi advance

Clubs of 20, to one addreas,... $20 00 1«V 17 CO 10, 12 50 6, 8 00 Single copies, invariably in advance 1 50

One copy will be furnished graft's, to the per-

eon getting up clubs of 20, on receipt of the nnmcs aiid money. We hope some good energetic friend in each county town and Post Office throughout thecountv, will oblige us and himself, by raising and forwarding us clubs as early as possible.

GLAVERY NATIONAL.!

"His opinion was that the third article in tho treaty by which Louisiana was acquired, stands piotected by tho Constitution, and cannot be repealed by Congress, and the act of 1S20, known as the Missouri Compromise, violates tho leading features of the Constitution on which the Union depends, and which secures to all citizens common rights. He therefore held that the act was void, and concurred with his "brother Judges, that the plaintiiT Dred Scott, is a slave, and was one when this suit was brought."

Such is thc concluding paragraph of the opinion of Chief Justice Taney as delivered in the Dred Scott case, which involved interests of the weightiest and most vital character. A sentence that not only makes slavery national, but strikes down thc doctrinc of Stats Sovereignty which constitutcs tlie beauty, the glory, tho strength of our federal compact a sentence the most remarkable ever penned by a Chief Justice or which ever issued from that high tribunal, the Supreme Bench. Remarkable not for the correctness of its doctrine nor fcr its conformity with the opinions of tlie great minds who had preceded him in his .••.exalte.! position remarkable not for its

Ir.miucus exposition of constitutional law and its sacred regard for human rights.— But remarkable as an opinion subversive of all preceding decisions, as an opinion .•which overthrows all doctrines of State rights and tramples under foot tho most cherished principles of onr Revolutionary

Fathers. It is an opinion which will become as infamous in history as it is aning-

ouistic to truth. When that time shall' l.vo coirn, as it surely in tho which,!

tlie right of man to I,

pursuit of hr.ppiness, shall bo regarded and protected not according to the peculiar tint or coloring of his skin, but as man created in the image of his Maker then will thc pure, the wise, the good and the great regard this opinion of Judge Taney as,the production of an intellect pc-rverted, and degraded by

party,

-LIU i_j .. that groat Republican party that swept almost the entire North and North-west, in tho late Presidential election, 'which is vet destined to inaugurate auother era of freedom, like unto that which dawnod upon onr Pilgrim Fathers—a party which will yet prove to the world that this is not a country of slaves and slavery, but that here is to be the dwelling place of an enlarged and genuine freedom that will have for its basis the virtue and intelligence of millions of freemen. We counsel no forcible resistance, we advise no attempt at revolution let us abido by tho law? of our country until the evils now imposed upon us shall be removed iu a legal and constitutional manner.

Let us turn for a moment to the consideration of some of the opinions contained in the decision of Judge Taney, and see how they comport with the Constitution of our country. Articlo 4tb, Sec. 2d, of. the Constitution is couched in the following words: "THE CITIZENS OF EACH STATE SHALL BE ENTITLED TO ALL PRIVILEGES AND IMMUNITIES OF CITIZENS IN THE SEVERAL STATES."

Chief Justice Taney says: "No one enn bo a citizen of tho United States unless under tho provision of the Constitution, but it does not follow that a man, Leiv.j citizen of one State must be recognized us

such by every Slate in the Union. l?e may. be a citizen in one State, and not recognized Perf""1DS

as such in another.

The Constitution says that the citizens of each State shall be entitled to the privi-

le prolcciid in theso pr ivilegQS

OIU,

in Ken

tucky that tho citizens of Louisiana shall enjoy these privileges in Massachusetts.— Judge Taney says they cannot. The Constitution says that the citizens of one State must bo recognized as a citizen of any and all other States. Judge Taney says that a citizen of one State may not bo recognized as a citizen of another. Is not this a clear and palpablo contradiction 13 it not so plain that the way-faring man though a fool cannot fail to perceive it Under the decision of Judge Taney, this provision, this article of the Constitution is null and

and the citizen of one

State cannot be a citizen of another Stale

without an express act by the Legislature of

the State to which he may remove. Will

ment and hurl from power thoso who would

thus trample under foot the charter of their liberties. Tlie people may not have the power to remove the Supreme Judges, yet they have tho power to render null and void their party colored decisions. The Supreme Court decided that a U. S. Hank was constitutional, but the people willed it out cf existence and it has passed away.

But there are other features of tlii-i decision still more odious and alarming.— The Republican party and all true lovers

,h°

baltle

life, liberty and the

bereft of ail moral

susceptibilities, incapable of appreciating the inherent and inalienable rights of man, and utterly destitute of all those exalted attributes of mind and morals which should unite in the occupant of that ieFponsible station.

But it i? tannliugly and triumphantly asked by tho pro-slavery party both North and South, what will you do What remedy have you Of what avail will be your opposition to and denunciation of that decision? It must and will stand! We reply that if Judge Taney and his four associates have the power to overthrow and reverse the decisions of Chief Justice Ellsworth, Jay and Marshall—if he and his associates have the power to reverse thc decisions of all great jurists both State and Federal who have preceded them, then is there a power mighty enough to reverse their decision artd bring back the Judiciary to its former purity and regard for the Constitution of our country. We reply that wo intend to hold up to our countrymen tho decisions of those great and good men whose charactcjs were abovo suspicion and whose minds and opinions were unswayed, unperverted by the power of party politics. We intend to call upon our countrymen to rally around tho standard of the Constitution and the sacred rights of man as declared in the Declaration of Independence, and if the ppiiit of our fathers still lingers iu the breasts of their decendents, that odious decision will j-et b9 blotted from the judicial records of our country and th^constitutional, the inherent, the inalienable lights of man once in ore respected.-:-In using the term we, we B2«8a

of constitutional freedom have hitherto strength, assert, maintain, and defend for-

onfineu their opposition to tho extension of slavery into territories belonging to our common country. They have urged and plead that these territories might be kept free from the curse of slavery. But the decision of the Supreme Court has opened r.p a new controversy it has transferred and freedom plains ot ivansas to tho free States of our Union, from tlie distant territories to our own ure-sides. It is no hosaunas to ihe god of slavery.

longer a question as to the spread of slavery iuto freo and untrod territories, but is a question of slavery or freedom iu Indiana, in Illinois and all other free States in our Union. It is a question whether the prediction of Senator Toombs is to be realized, that the "slave owner of the South will yet call the roll of his slaves beneath thc t^iadow of Bunker Hill Monument." According to this decision of Judge Tanev, this new era of unlimited nationalized slavery has already dawned upon us, and the slave owner of the South may plant his slaves along side the independent freemen of Indiana, and the sovereign power of Indiana as a free State has no authority to intefere and prevent this desecration of her soil. By this decision our Sovereignty is crushed, our State rights are trodden under foot, and the twenty-fivo millions of freemen of our country must bow the neck to the dictum of three hundred and fifty

thonsancl slavo owners of tho South. If =4 verdict of death by suicide. the right exists to hold slaves in Indiana for one hour, that same right extends on to days, and months and years. If that right exists by virtue of tho U. S. Constitution, it will exist so long as that Constitution shall 6tand, it has no limit, it extends on to thc indefinite future. That decision declares that tho Constitution guarantees the right to make and admit slave States, but gives no right to make and admit freo States. Is thc spirit oi freedom, the spirit of our fathers so lulled and stunifidil by slavery, that we will tamely and quietly sttbmit to such an overthrow of all our most, cherished principles. Will not a spirit of indignation be aroused which will rebuke tho wicked in high places and yet preserve in all their purity the rich legacies bequeathed to us by our patriot Fathers. More anon. Il

Geary and crush out Border Ruffianism, or he must unite with the Border Ruffians and trample under foot tho spirit of Liberty. Gov.

32ELANCIIOLY SUICIDE.

We regret to record the death of Mrs. JVOBF.nT BECK, by suicide on the night of the 22d instant. Mrs. Bcck had been for

somo time bordering on insaiut}', from the

cfTects of religious excitement. Sho had previously made several attempts to put an end to her life, but was prevented by her friends. At one time she tried to cut her throat, and on another occasion, tried to drown herself in a cistern. It seems that her mind was so deranged that her friends had to lock her up in a room to herself, from which she made her escape through a window at the dead hour of night, and went to the cistern of a neighbor, into which she frantically plunged herself, and thus ended her life in a watery grave. She was found and taken from the cistern early on the following morning, when an inquest was had by the Coroner, who retuu-

SCARCITY OF TOBACCO SEED:

Letters received in Louisville from different parts of Kentucky report a great demand for tobacco seed. The favorable weather about the first of last month says tho Journal, induced the planters to sow at an earlier period than usual, in consequence of which tho plants were fully above the ground when we were visited by tho late cold spell of weather. They were nearly all killed by tho frost, and there is now & general inquiry for seed. 'As much as five dollars has been offered for a spoonfull of this little seed. ..

who, from some mis

fortune, was induced to leave his parental roof a few weeks since, and seek other friends in other quarters. Mr. C. returned to his former friends and associates in this place after an absence of a few weeks, and being treated somewhat coolly by those who had formerly been his warmest and best friends, (among whom was his affianced bride,) ho left with the deepest feelings of mortification and chagrin, and went to the little town of Carpentersville, south of this, to seclude himself from society, and if possible, to drown his sorrow. But his anguish of soul grow deeper and deeper, until life became burthensome and bitter, r.nd ho resolved, in a fit of delirium, to end his existence. With this determination he went to a Drug Store and procured two ounces of Laudanum, returned to his room, and after addressing a letter to his father, and one to his intended bride,

he took the poison, and was soon locked ra the cold arms of death, and his spirit returned to "Him who gave it." Mr. Clinger was a young man of respectable parents, and in whom the vigor of health glowed as the full blown rose, and in

"TAKE OUR IIAT."

Tho best thing of the season came off in this place a few evenings since, and although we did not witness it, we have the very best authority for its truthfulness.— It seems that our friends, Messrs. "PARISH fc BirtT, have advertised for 50,000 young men to look through their extensive assortment of Hats and Caps, and a great deal of damage having been done to Hats during the late election, there i6 general demand just now—so much so, that these gentlemen have been literally beset by the thronged multitude which has been pouring in upon them from all parts of the .country. The crowd become so great that

tho stock was soon exhausted, and Mr.

Parish had at last lo sell the Hat from off his own head, and then large numbers went away in a rage, vowing that they would bring suit for damages. We presume the phrase "take our hat," must have originated in some such way as this. These gentlemen will have a new supply, however, in a few days.

23.

Governor Geary was to have had an interview with the President this morning, but the time previous to the Cabinet meeting was monopolized by large numbers of New York politicians, some of whom besieged the members of the Cabinet at their private lodgings, relative to the appointments upon which the Cabinet are to-day engaged.

Col. Pickens, of Sonth Carolina, has been tendered a foreign mission. Governor Geary having notified the President of his arrival at Washington, called at the White House this afternoon, and was there introduced by the Presideut to his Cabinet, and had with them along conversation upon the general affairs of Kansas.

It is said that the Prosident contemplates a summer residence on the heights of Georgetown, to avoid the sickness with which thc former inmates of tho White House were affected during that season of the year.

Dr. Bernheisel, the delegate from Utoh, denies the truth of the discreditable statement concerning that Territory says they emanated from enemies, who have ever been striving to foment difficulties between the Mormons and the General Government.
