Our Superior Court continued in ses sion during the whole of last week, His Honor Judge Manly presiding. The recently appointed Attorney General, Win.

The Next Campaign. We invite attention to the following article. Our correspondent has kmdlv rdieved us of the task of giving ut terance to public sentiment in this part of -the District; and the Newborn Union also appears to sanction the course pro posed. Its;iys: j We see that our contemporaries of the (jroldsboro lrioune and larboro .i nuuiucrutr nau sugcewu uicpn'pnf- ty of holding primary meetings in the ! different Counties. composing this rthe ; 2d) Congressional District, at an early day, lor tne purpose ot taking into con- sidcration the choice of a candidate to j bear the Democratic banner in the ap proaching campaign. .That Col. RutSa is the choice of the District, there is no doubt, and we therefore concur with them in the opinion, that there will be no necessity for a Convention. Howev- er, the people of the Counties can deter- j miue this matter iu their primary meet ings, and, if a majority of the Counties are in favor of a Convention, why, let us have it. Superior Court week has been suggested as a suitable time for holding these meetings. For tub Southerner. Mr. Editor : I noticed in vour last is- pue an article from the Goldsboro' Trib-! efficient administration of the govern une, commendatory of the course of our ment. To reach this point it was ne- worthy representative from this Con-! grcs.-ional District, and urging his claims for re-election. In that article I most heartily concur, and believe I but reflect the voice of Edgecombe when I say, that CoL Ruffin is the choice the first choice of this county for a re-election to a position he has so creditably filled for two terms. Edgecombe so far as we know and beHove, has no aspirant for Congres sional honors and even if she -had, ihe course of Col, Ituffin has so fully and entirely met the approbation of her peo ple, that we iucliiirt to the opinion, that kbe would be unwilling at this time to see him set aside for otic of her own sons. We have, yet to hear of the first word of dissatisfaction towards his course and we therefore conclude thai the Democracy of Edgecombe would be pleased to see him again take the field. As the writer in the Goldsboro' Trib uue suggests, a Convention' of the partv would bo attended with much inconve- . xt- rtr it Mr flT1i c0l mence .,a k;a .rtiint.v is concerned, we think we are safe in saying" the people do not desire it. We . therefore invite Col. Ruffin to allow bis name again to be placed be fore the voters of this District,, subject to the decision of a Convention, anouiu the District, think it advi- j the Party in sable 'to-hold one Col Ruffii 1 Us won a reputation in Washington for high integrity, unswer ving honesty, and devotion to his Party andconstitUfnts, which together with his well known habits of industry and clear common sense head, renders him amost useful member of the House ot Representatives. e trust he will again offer his ser vices to his party. CONETOE. March 10th, '.7, . Highly Important Decision. The Supreme Court of the United States, on Friday last, delivered through Chief Justice Taney its decision in the Drod Scott case, containing the folio w- ing opinions: 1st. Negroes have no rights as citi zens under the Constitution." 2d The ordinance of 1787 is bind ing, a3 being the act of the several States as sovereigns prior. to the for mation of the Constitution. 3d. But the Missouri Compromise unconstitutional, as being an act of the general government 1 exercising power not delegated by the States as sovereigns. 4th. The expression of '"territory and o.h r property of the Uni m," in the Constitution, applies only to such tcrritcry as was posseted at the adoj tion of the Constitution. .5th. As Congress does not posse ss the power to make enactments relative to persons or property ot citizens of the United States in the federal territories, other than the Constitution confers, it cauuot constitutionally delegate any such power to a territorial govti nmeut. G;h. The legal conditio of the lave is not afltcted by his sojourn iu another State. INAUGUHAL ADDKES, Oj the President of the C'nitcd States. (continue J.) Next in importance to the mainte nanee of the constitution and the Union isthcuutv of preserving the govern ment fro, from the taint, or even the .suspicion, of corruption. Public virtue is the vital spirit ot republics; and histo ry proves that when this has decayed, j and the love of money has usurped its place, although the forms of free gov ernment may remain for a season, the substauce has departed forever. ! Our present financial condition is without a parallel in history. N Mix tion has ever before been emfearre-sscd : from too large surplus in its treasury, j This almost iicccss.-iriiy gives birth to extravagout legislation. It produces j wild -schemes ot expenditure, and be- gets a race of speculators and jobbers, ! whose ingenuity is exerted in contriving land promoting -xpodieuts to obtain ! , r... . mi .. t puoiic iiioucy. j. 'iii purity oi oinciai agents, whether rightfully or wr .ngfully is yusDecte l and the -character of the fti 'government suffers in the cstiiaition of the people. This in itsolt is a great evil. The natural mode of relief from this embarrassun nt is to appropriate the surplus in the treasury to great nation al objects, for which a clear warrant can be found in the constitution. -monsr these I might mention the extin- guishment of the public debt, a reason- able increase of the navy, which is at present inadequate to the protection of i v-;V our ,l.uWuUW6!W.,Hll!tw ngers-and it m,y soothe the sor-! that of any other uation, as well as to the defence of our extended sea coast. It is beyond all question the true principle that no more revenue ought to be collected from the people than the amount necessary to defray the ex- Denses of a wise, economical, and cessary to resort to a modification of the tariff, and this bus, I trust, been ac complished in such a manner as to do as little injury as may have been prac ticable to our domestic manufactures, especially, those necessary for the de fence of the country. Any discrimina tion against a particular branch, for the purpose ot benefiting favored corpo rations, individuals, or interests, would have been unjust to the rest of the -community and inconsistent with that spir it of fairness and, equality which ought, to govern in the adjustment of a reven ue tariff. But the squandering of the public money siuks into campirative' insignifi cance sa temptation to corruption when compared with the squandering of the public lands. No natioa in the tide of time. has ev er beeu blessed wuh so rich and noble an inheritance as we enjoy in the public lands. Iu administering' this important trust, whilst it may bo wise to grant portions, of them for. the improvement forget that it is our cardinal policy to reserve these lands, as much as may be, for actual settlers, and .ibis at moderate! prices. We shall ; thus not only nest promote theprosperityof the new States and .Territories by furnishing .them a hardy and independent race of honest and industrious - citizens,, but shall se- -re borne, for our cluldrer, and our iles from foreign sh)res who may seek in this country to improve their condi tion, and to enjoy the blessings of nivil and religous lib rty Such emigrants have done much to promote the growth and prosperity of the country. They have proved faithful both in peace and in war. r After becoming citizens, they are eutitled, under the constitution and laws, to be placed on a perfect equality with native born citizeus; and in this charactrr they .should ever be kindly recognised - (JZemaimh r next iceek.)
