DEATH OP JUDGE; BLACKFORD. Wo announced. yelerday tbe death of Judge Isaac Blackford, perbapa tbe most diatioguiabed Jurist who ban ever occupied the bench U thia State. The State Sentinel ef yesterday givee a abort biographical skeUhof bio. from which we extract the following: , . : ' Judge Blackford was about seventy-five yeara of age. ..He. was born . near New Bruaswick. Now Jersey. He waa an only child. Hie father died wbea ho waa quite young. and be waa left to the sole guidance of hie mother, a woraao of fervent piety, who superintended hia education, and to whom be waa devotedly attached. He waa graduate of Princeton College. New Jer tey, an institution than and now of high repute,, ; Judge Blackford removed to Indiana, aa near aa we can ascertain, io the year 1807. 'He pursued tie atndy of law atUwreoceburg od at BrooJiville, where he removed In 1812, and during that jear be and J odge John Teat,! a resident of the latter place, and who waa a few yeara hia senior, went to Vincennea to procure license to practice. For a short time, about this period, be held the office of Cashier of the old Territorial Bank of Indiana, located atVevay. On the Hih of September, 1814, he waa appointed by Got. Gibson the last Territorial Governor Judge of the first Circuit Court, which be held until the 21tbof Jannary. 1816. 'in that year, rpon the organisation of the State Government, he i" elected a Representative in the Legislature from Kn. x county, and upon the organization of tbe fit at Houee of Repreaentativea. he waa elected ita Speaker; This was the only legislative cfl.ce hr ever filled. On ihelO.hof September, 1P17, he was appointed one of tbe Judges of the Supreme Court of Judicature, in the place of Judge John Johnson, deceased, having for bis associates Jamea Scott, of Clark county, and Jeese L. Holman, Esq., of Lawrence borg. : Be continued in thla petition, urinte rruptedly . nntil the year 1852, a period of thirty five yeara, when be was succeeded bj Jedge P-'ikina. ; Upon the establishment of tb Court of Claims in 1655, with reference to bis high professional reputetion end uaimpeached probity, Judge Blackford waa voluntarily aelected by Preeidcat Pierce aa one of its J udge. In this position he closed his long and useful career. ' ' - It, U25 he was the Democratic candidate for Governor, bat waa beaten by bia oppo Mn't Jane B. Ray. In lc27-8 he was a candidal foe United Statea Senator, and waa beatea only ee vote by Governor Hendricks. Be waa also defeated as a candidate for Representative in the Legislature from this county in 1854. We mention these facta to how bow illy he waa fitted for political eonteata by his reserve and modesty, and how oft true worth arid tue fulseae is unappreciated in the excitement of heated political canvasser. - Judge Blackford married a MissMcDon aid. a New Jersey lady, about tbe year 1814. This relation proved unfortunate and unhappy. In a few years they separated. The result of this union was a boo, f fise promise, but who died some twelve years ago upon the threshold of manhood. This event deeply affected him, and left him without a near relative. ' Such, in brief, was the career of one of the eminent men of hi9 times. Educated to habita of strict economy and integrity. he never departed from them. Tbey were a part of the man, and governed him through life." He made it ap rinclple to .ve no man pecuniarily or otherwise. Absorbed in his profession, he mingled but little in society. He was reserved, and confided but little to any one. From this cause he was often wrongly judged and unjustly censured. He - j

was a pure man, tree irom social ices, nu simple in his life and tastes. In his Reports oft Vie"cases determined by the Sug maJ Indiana, he has left an end umentto hia fame. They are mode--- terseness and accuracy in all their details. His style was severely chaste. No redundancy ot expression, no verbiage, and every word nicely chosen to express tbe idea, with perfect punctuation Hia decisions were written and re-written uaül they were pruned of all exttaneous matter. His Reports are authority every where. They have not only an American, but a trans Atlantic fame. They have re ceirrdthe just meed of praise from the nost eminent jurists at home and abroad. Judge Blackford waa jut, sincere and con acie i.a. Hia honesty of purpose and iutezrirr of action were irreproachable.

Th South ts. le Mortto. - The readers of. the Express will find in to day's itsue some startling incidents of Southern treatment of Northern men. We "gave a few daya ago how some thirty odd citizens had been driven from the State of Kentucky, because they entertained opinions on tbe subject of human slavery inimical to tht- interest of the alave holder. These men aod these families wereeitixens of Kentuciy had lived thsre for years, had built school houees, churchee, improved farms aod built dwellings. There were thirty-aix in all men, women and childrenold men, young men, maidens and matrons. Many of them had lived in Ken-

tucky all thfir lives were natives to the manor born.' Many of them had moved into the S.ate, bad purchased homes there, and were pursuing an industrious, frugal course of life. There was not one blot or blemish ngairst their moral or teligicus characters. - Tbe beads of the families were all good men, cpright men and honest men. : There was not one whisper gainst them, but that they were opposed to human slavery; that they saw ita withering effects upon the white roan, and they looked forward with hope when Kentucky would be a free State. Entertaini ng these opinions, and living as they 'supposed in a free country, they '' gave expression to ll.eir convictions aa became American cilisens. They are not charged with endeavoring to incite the slave against the rasa ter, to abolish slavery by revolution or Ith violating any of the la-e of Kentockv or of the Federal Government. The hole charge is that they entertained opinions inimical to slaveiy and calculated to prejudice the public mind against the peculiar institution. For this, and for this alone, they are driven from their homes across the borders of the State, rendered hnuoeless and homelesa in mid winterbut thank God not friendless. Among strap gera they have found frienda among strangers they have found ahelter, and among Mrangers they have found sympa thizers. ' ' ."..'! Did Austrian tyrsnny or Russian eppres sion ever excel this ? Ho Autocrat, upon a throne sustained by servile minions, was ever more imperious In his mandates, or infamous in bis action. It makes us blush for our country and for free institutions. Has the time come, is it now present when an American citizen, stand ing upon American soil, has not tbe right to give utteraWe to the free thoughts that oppress, biro? Is there a domestic institution it our midst, whose ex i ounce lefends upon tbe strangling of iree thought and free petcb? If ao if this is the condition upon which African slavery is to be perpetuated in this government, we prefer, greatly, positively, altogeler pr'er, the enjoy ment of the great privilege of our bei rg, end if a free thought oppress us, have the privilege to peak it boldly, peak it all. The press of the State of Kerituck--, so far as we have seen, sustain thia action on part of the people of Madison county; aod the Governor, when, appealed to, refused anv assistance to those thus driven from their heroes aod deprived of their proper, ty. If this is American- freedom, the Con stitutica of the United States is a sham, a baggatelle, to be construed and bent and broken to suit the interests of an imperious few. If this is American freedom, theo oar bcaslcd privilege is moonshine, and apon t'aie continent" there is a tyranny as dictatorial as ever raised its brasjn face among the children of men. The times are strange when auch things are permitted, aod the times will be stranger atill if such things are not stopped stopped once and forever. . , Ken'.ucky, if she wishes to remain a slave State, will learn, when perhapa itia too late, that she has aroused in tbe pub lie mi id, by this act, an intellectual im pulse '.hat will hauten, with giant strides. persor al freedom within her borders. The attention of ber uwn non-slaveholdtng citizens will be turned to the subject, and they rill, of their, own accord, haften the time, when Kentucky, will be. what she ought always to have been, a Free State. May the people and the right triumph. lis An IrUbman Scourged and Tarred nd Feathered. Th' ChurUttoxcn Mneurw ot the 19lh ult , ha te following paragraph: in its leading Mittel.

He made the race wiu ine express understanding that be would receive Re publican voles Mr. Davie being an AntiLeeompton Democrat, thereby commend ing himself very much to the Republican party. He entered the canvass against S crest, and denounced the Leeompton pol icy of the preseut Administration, in the most bitter and unqualified terma., he a as mercilea in bin attack ud the diet mm of the Dred Seott , deris'on, which lays down the doctrine, that the Federal Constitution canies alavery. into our Territorica, and spoke in no complimentary terms of the general policy of Jamea Buchanan Occupying thia position, the Republicans of this Congressional District, determined to ffive Mr. Davis their aupport. They did 0 and he was elected by an over helming majority. Io doing this, tbe Oppo.it inn la tha Lecorobtou Doliev of tha President, succeeded in carrying erery county iothia District but one for wr Slate Le gislsture, which was regarded as a auffi cier.t compensation for the support given by tbe them to Mr. Davis. This, was as far as any Obligation, on part cl the Republicans, extended to bins, and as far a he was, under aoy obligations to the party that elected him. Our understand ing of the matter was, that tbe reciprocal oblizatione ceased after tbe election Mr Davis remaining an An'i-Leeompton Dem ocrat, and the Opposition hating increased their vote throughout the District, very largely. ' Whether Mr. Davis intends now to vote on anyone occasion with ,tle Republican party io Congress i a matter et.titely ol his own so far as the Republican party in tbia Congressional District in concerned ll.ey have no pledges from him, nor has he any from them.

We could, were we so disposed, refer to our i files of ibe Terre Haute Journal, and by them, prove that Mr. Davis, in his speeches, while caavass lüg this Diatrict, denounced the Dred Seott deciaion; but we presume it would not be fair to judge bim, or any one else, by that shsst.

' Wi.il we regard Mr: D. as only an Anti Leeompton Democrat,'- we 'canoot under stand how he can reconcile it with his own eeuse of right, to act ia conjunction with the Administration party, and until we find him doing ad,' we will bo loth to believe he will. ' There ia bat little telling. however, what a man will do, who haa for years .caucused with and 'voted for the Democratic party.

An Indiana Preacher Arrested in North Carolina. Ä Greensborourh, Guilford co.. N

C, correspondent of the New York Herald, gives a lengthy account of the arrest in the former place of the Rev. Daniel Worth, a Wesleyan Methodist preacher a native of JVorth Carolina, but for some time past, up to two years ago, a resident of Indiana, m which State he had been a member of the Legislature. He was arraigned on the 23d of December, on a charge of Dcmiig auu viruuiaung xieiper s impending Crisis, and uttering in the pulpit language calculated to make slaves and free negroes discontented.Hewas refused bail and sent to jail whence he was taken for examination on the following day. More than a dozen witnesses sustained the charges Against him. and one man testified that he had purchased a copy of Helper's book from Worth. It was also proved that Worth in the pulpit on Sunday, hal 6aid that ihe laws of North Carolina ought not tobe obeved. and that they were made by a"6et of drunkards, gamblers and whoremon ger;.' ihe prisoner, who conducted his own case, acknowledged that he had ben1 engaged in circulating the Helper bonk, and also a woik on the "War m Kansas. but did not consid er it any harm to do so; that at first he did not intend to admit having cir culated the firmer, but that he wanted to make them, as a lawyer would, bring evidence to substantiate the charges. The counsel for the prose cution rej.ii-el that this rase had arisen in oil Guilf d which had been claim ed as an abolition county, and denoun ced Helper and his book, reading extracts from the last. The prisoner, in his own defence, attempted to argue the evil of slavery, and to convince the Court that he was right in preaching against it. He .was, however, com pelled to confine himself to the point at issue. . - He then continued his remarks at considerable length cn abolition, until tne lAiuri toiu mm mat it h?u listened long enough to that strain, and desired him to speak as to the charges brought against him. The prisoner then spoke as to his course having been consistent with his calling as a preacher and a man; that when he heard there was a warrant for his arrest, he had started for this place to surrender himself; that in his preaching and practice he had only been doing what others in the State had long ago been doing unmolested; that he was a peaceman and a Union man; that he sought not to dissever the Union; that he didn't endorse all the senfments contained in Helper's work; that he had formerly been a magistrate in this county; that he had been living in Indiana many years, and came back to North Carolina about two years since, to benefit tbe health of an invalid wife; thatthat wife had died and he had married again, n J had been engaged in preaching in several counties since; he was not con scious of having violated the laws of o c ftnO fnr h w .ran. of next term 01 court, ana the same 1 lt.- ' - 4?1 il.-l t . a . ainouut to acep me peace until mat time. i!w .,.( tl,.

CONGUF.SKIONAL. XXXVI CONGKESS-FiisT Sis.iox.

WaeHiKOTOir, Jan. 4, HOUSE. Mr. Morris, of I1L, offered a resolution which was read for information. that tbe Superintendent ef Public Buildinga be directed to replace the deaks and chairs as they were in this hall previous to their removal; and to enab'.e him to do so he be directed to prepsre the old hsll for temporary occupaocy. He said he ould not call up the resolution this mor ning. Mr, Bingham and others objected. Mr. Montgomery aaid Mr. Colfax yesterdsy attacked his former proposition for a temporary organization on the ground of a violation of the Con ali tu tion. He had offered it io good faith. We are indebted to the mail' contractors $4 000,000. It is an honest debt, honestly contracted for ser rice honestly performed. It is . not- an Americsn, Democratic or Republican debt. but a Nation's debt. Adopt hia resolu tion and they could pats the P. 0. Ar?ropiialion bill, and redeem tha credit ef the nation. , . Mr. Wilson said if the gentleman wis aozioua to pay the dbt. he would ak hioi to adept the plurality rule. Now, Mr. Montgomery replied, if be waa willing to arcept it olhera were unwilling to do so. If ihree-fourihe were willing to acc.pt and the oth-r fourth protest against it, an organisation cannot be eflVcie I; nor if ten men protested. Hia proposition a fair, honest and just. He insiKird that ii I Constitutional, ai.d he referred to our past legislaiive history to show the prece dent in auch cases. , ,., Mr Stevens asked whether his colleague culd show that lefore ao organ ittiun.a Speaker pro Wro had been elected., - . Mr. Montgomery replied that in 1633-40 Mr. Adams was elected Chairman. . . Mr. Stevens Wa Mr. Adams 5penkei? Mr. Montgomery Considered him sucL Mr. Corwiu. would be to-day temporary Speaker if the Houae would adopt his re solution. Mr. Morris, of Pa., asked whether there was any legislation while Mr. Adams was Chairman? . . Mr. Montgomery had not examined tbe records to see, but if there waa no legisla tion that did not prove there could, not have been, tie renewed his resolution. Mr. Stevens raised the point that the re solution was not io order; that previous to entering on the business the action of Congees reqoired that the oath shall be ad ministered to the Speaker, and by bim to the Clerk and all tba membera; and that no resolution of this body can repeal the act. The proposition now offered is therefare an absurdity. The casea rt-farred to by Mr. Montgomery were not applicable to this proposition. Here tbe matter rested. Mr. McRea resumed his remarks from yesterdsy, insisting that the Representa tives disregarded the obligations of tbe Constitution, and invade not only the right of the people but the reservt-d right of the States. Their candidate for Speaker bad not said that the doctrines of the Helper book are treasonable. Tbe fact that there are ' men who will not respect Constitutional obligations, is one of the startling features of the times, and hv raised intense feeliog io the Southern States. All patriotic men should come together, rising above their ordinary prejudicea on transient questions, and meet the common enemy, whose success would in crease the Sanger to the prosperity of the confederacy. Mr. Wells remarked that ha waa ranch pleased with the remarks of Mr. McRae, who aaid he was a fair man, and believed be liked to nee fair play in thia pugilistic ring, for it could not be called by a much better name. There was nothing like fair play. He was perfectly satisfied that the policy which seems to have been adopted by the Republicana has been continued from the other side from the commence mentof this contest. He did not rise to make a speech, but simply to ask the que tion. How waa the House to be organized t Was there any party able to do so with a majority? It waa well known that no auch party exists. In one of two ways only canaoorganiaatioii .be tfTVcted. It as known that the Republicana had polled their entire vote, and that the South Americans and Democrat cannot unita on an one. They rre a radically opposed to me another as ihey are jaintlv to the Re publicaua. The Houst can b organ ix d only by the voluntary withdrawal of geu tleraen acting with the Americans or Dem ocrats, or by the adoption of ihe plurali y rale. It was said that some gentlemen would oppose it, but he said, g-ntieio n, do i.ot talk any more on the general principles of the American, Republican or Democratic party, but act like men. and vote till the Hotie cornea to ' tome conclusion He was here to work and vote, and even when Ihr turkey was hot he did not mean to go to dinner, if he could help it. He was willing to stay here till to-morrow's cock crew, to elect a Speaker. There waa a call of the House, preliminary to a vote for Speaker. John Cochrane aaid there was atill one gentleman onlhe Democratic aide absent. owing to aickne6, who had not paired off. He had been tent for. He trusted gentle men on the other aide wenld see how proper it waa to make a pair for that gentle man. Cries from the Republican side of 'io," No." ' Mr. Cochrane said the action of the Re publican aide, then, forced him to make a dilatory motion, aad that was to adjourn The yeas and nsys were demanded by the Democratic aide, and ordeted. The motion waa disagreed to 76 again.t 135 . Mr. Batksdale nominated Mr. Valien digham. The House proceeded to vote. Mr. Potter, when his name was called said that aa Mr. Vallandigham waa some how mixed up with the John Brown affair, he could not vote for hire, but for John Sherman. The ballot reaalted aa follows: Whale number of votes, 212 ; necessary to choice 107. Sherman, 104 ; Vallandigham, 63 Gilmer,?; F.H.Clark, 4; scattering, 18. Tbe House again voted. Mr. Davis, of Miss., nominated Bocock ; the ballot re suited as follows: Whole number, 211 necessary to choice, 106; Sherman, 103 Bocock, 53; Nelson, 18; Davis, of Ia., KaUvriBg.M.

A general discussion ensued on the subject of an organisation, and the adoption of the plurality rule. Mr. Hickman aaid that Anti-Lecomptoa Democrat! could consistently vote for i Republican Speaker, aa the owed their return to Congress to Republican votes. I Mr. Davis, of Ind., said for the five weeks tha be bad been here be had earefally ah. stained from opening bia month. Voices, louder J He wculd aa to gentlemen hold on and they would hear him. He would fain have contented himself with silence to the rod of the contest, but for the remarks of Mr. Hickman; he did not ander, stand the right of any man to catechise him as to the vo'e he should give. He stood here as an independent Representative, and he intruded to represent fntrmen aaU-

come him. Ihe gentlema from Pennsylvania had referred to the manner in which aome Anti Leeomptouitea were elected. lie (Davis) oever designed enquiring bow that gentleman was elected It was not his busi ness. He desired to tell the. gentleman, the Hou e.and the country, that he was elected by m-jority of 4 000. He was elected as a D -mocrat, and in the seventy speeches he delirered. In which ho declared Limself a Democrat, he did not cross a r or dot an f as to bia political faith. He chaHengjdany man in bis district to eayheth-r Le ever made a speech in which he did not ot ter thnt declarati- n He ran agilnat the Asminiitratiou as a Detnocrat. as an Ami-L-cofi.ptoo Democrat, and had not changed his op ui .ii ai to tht po'.icy. lit- had steadily vott-d for an Anti-Lrcumptou Drmocrat f r Speaker, and uot for a Republican.

(Keneared applause,) I never in tended to be fol I to the' R-publicaa part, villi tueir present doctrines. Mr. Hickman. The gentleman atated that he represented himself as an AntiLeeompton Democrat and made that issue alone. . I would like to know wheih hm did not denoui.ee the Administration of Mr. Bochanao aa a mtaa of living corrap. lion and despotism. I have raised no cootroveray with the gentleman, I made the simple inquiry of the gentleman from New Jersey (Adrian), but as the arentlrman from Ind. cboosrd to take up the glove, I will compare records with him. Mr. Davis Very good. ;l Mr. Hickman Tb gentleman haa aot said whether he received the Republican vol. - Mr. Davis I dil not denounce the Ad ministration, except on the the Lecomptuo question. Is that sufficient. I got the votes of a mj irity of the Democrats and I relieve every American, and a large ma jority of Republicana. and if the elect lorn had been two weks further off. I did think I would have got every vote. Laughter. Mr. Porter, of In 1. I ask you, did vo notopetily denounce tbe Dred Scott deciaioo before 2,000 people at lodianaplis, and say ibat no man could carry a single township, who did oot denounce that decision. -; Mr. Davis I thank the Jew forgiving me that word.. Laughter. I say .that did no auch thing. Mr. Porter 1 have the Indiana State Sentinel of Nov. 19th, 1653, the organ of the Democratic rarty, containing a report of your speech on that occasion. Mr. Davis I have no objection that th whole speech should be read here. The Sentinel, you ear, is my orraa. . Mr. Porter I Bay the Sentinel ia the acknowledged organ of the Democrat of Indiana. The report is correct, because I had tbe honor to hear the eloquent gentle man. and I never new any man to elicit such applauae. Laughter on the Repub. lican side. . Mr. Davis, as well as Mr. Porter, spoke with much earnestness aud emphasis. Much confusion prevailed, and the worda of the speakers often failed to rtach tre Reportar' gallery. . , A long and boUteroua dieccsaion ensued b-tween Davis, Porter and Düna of Ind: Porter averring t' a' Davis had denounced the Dred Scott decision, which Daria de nled.
