The Circut Court denied tF* validity nf Da:'« C;ii w-3 6e Was induced by the Black ’Repubficaiis'and Abolitionists to remove it.e case to the S :re.-ne C<: art of ti e State, whte’a court Iterate!? aEirmed the judgement of the co«r: b-ri w. with the neces».ry costs T- e Dvtr it Frtst Prat, in commentiag nt-73 this case, concludes with the kilo* log pertinent and opportune remarks: When the Supreme Court of the United States, in the famous case of Dree Sco’.t, procounced the oyistva that negroes were not citizens of the United Slates under the Federal Convolution and laws, we have a distinct recollection that the whole Black ‘Republican’ press, from the eastern boundaries of Maine to the western boundaries of Elin-.-:- and 01.io, was ’ 7-ror struck and overwhelmed with ■.he most virtuous inc:gna;i-n. It declared the decision to be barbarous, and ;l.e voeabilarly mu>t have been searched ior e; idtete suited to be SiurUd at the tribuoai ’-1•-is L J _ _

which had laid down such monstrous doc- . trine as law; and up to tl.ls day every ocea- t-rs is been sell- Iby this B:a:k ‘Republican’ press, and by the Black ‘Republican’ orator* in Congress and out, to .tss-.-l the dec 7 -: nos the Supreme Court of the United States, and to bring it into popular disrepute. We shall await with some interest and curiosity the treatment which the Black ■Republican’ press and the Black *R publican’ orators will deal out to this derision of t e Supreme Court of the State of Michigan; because, if the deci-ion in the Dred Scott case was barbarous, the deci sion in the William H. Day case is intensely barbarous; if the dz-cirinelail down as law in she one case monstrous, that laid down as law in the other ease is odious and scandalous. The Supreme Court of the United States simply pa-sed upon the :ai status f the -egro according to the F-deral Const: lUtiun and laws; the Supreme Court of the State of ■>f Michegaa has passed upen Us socid status. Tne one Court decided that the negro, t■■ t-law, did not stand upon a! political eqeaiity with the whites, the other Court has decided that, if not by the statute law, by the law o' eastern, ■ he does not ?tand upon a serial equality with tl.e writes. The one Court decided that be is politically an inferior being; the other that he is morally an inferior h-:-.g The one excluded him from the Federal Courts; the other excludes him t'r t, steamboat cabins and first c!-.ss rail- . r:<id ears. The one dealt with him with r.s-A.-; »o ei'ixenshiponlyithe other deals wish him with respect to bis manhood'— ■ If the one degraded him as a part and . pareel of the bodv politic, the othei has

■djvsed liigj'aad tainted him a: 1 shamed . as partand parcel of the social fabric. Let it e•: be supposed for a r.. i nter:; >ti at we condemn this decision of the Su--1 pretne C-art of the ' te ’’ Michigan.— .e do a t. We sl.a’l sustain it, as we have sustained the deci-ion of th-- aupreme Court of the Ucited States. Both in oar judgement are eminently right — Neither court eauld make anv other decision, or if the Supreme Court of this State • had made any other decision, they w.-u’ l hava UK-rited the dtri.-i a and contempt of the whole country. The fact which we wish to bring prominently cut in this w ole connee.i'vn i-, that the Supreme C-eurt of the State of Miehiga- isei my sed of four gentlemen of the Black ‘Republican’ party, elected by that party, and that they have been oomp>e’!ed, when tills question of nizgers came be ft re them tc determine it upon common =-r.se prin- ? : les and in contravention of the professed princir’-a of the Blick ‘Republican’ party. They have been compelled io determine it io accordance wit;, the principles of the Democratic party and the Dred

Seott decision itself. They have been compelled to acknowledge; and to write it npuu their enduring record*, that the neyro is an inferior being, though in so ♦ ing ’ ey bare kicked away the platform upon wti-eb they sought and walked ■into office. TLey have been compel'.ed to to g • farther than the Dred Scott decision went. They hare been competed to pass upon the negro as a social being and to pronounce him degraded. They have been compelled to pronounce their own pc:: .party hypocrit.cal, Lisboces; and foul We think the Dred Seott decis: n will stan 1 in Michigan hereafter, since -or own Ble-s *R*ptsblieao’ Supreme Court have endorsed it, and suutined it, aad gone beyond it.

Jackson leaning on the arm of Hon. Levi W .>ojbury, then Secretary of S » e, was near tbe bead of the pioeession, immediately in the rear of mourners, among whom were several ladies of Mr. Davi’s familv. When the mourners had reselled the p. -i:eo, and just as the President passed out of the green door leading to it, Lawrence stepped from be hind one of the colums of portico, where he i?ad concealbimself, and instantly without a word, presented a Urge horse-piste! within three feel of the President’s breast, and explodthe cap. Quick as thought Gen. Jackson raised his hickory cane and aimed a blow at the assassin’s head, but missing :.its, Lawrenc.- snapped tl e second pis- . before he was se'z.d and borne down to the ground bv those neir h;m. Gen Jackson, wl . ."jt retreating an inch

had raised tl.e cane for a second blow, when it t: ose immedi .tely around him. who protecting him from further Rssaul*. witl: their persons, urged him to retire into the ro’uada, which he vel.emen’iy refused lodo. On being informed that it was probably a conspiracy and that there might be more n.an one assassin, he still refused to be led fium the portico, and expressed his deti to maintain Lis position where i,e stood.

In a few minutes he drew a revciver, and pointing it at the pastor, Rev. M. D. C. Crawford, discharged one of the barrels. The ball passed close by *•* bead, on t' e left, strik.ng the wall of the pulpit behind him. The congregation was in a great excitement.
