This supreme and fina) tribunal in the inter- pretation of the constitution and the laws, has decreed that negroes, or men of the African race, whether bond or free, are not citizens of the United States by the federal constitution; that the ordinance of 1787 was eaperseded by the constitution; that the Missouri compromise of 1820 was an unconstitutional act; that slave- holders bave the right to carry their slaves into the Territories; that the legal condition of a slave in a slave State is not affected by his tem- porary sojourn in a free State; and that Con- grees has no power over the question of slavery in a Territory, and cannot delega@ avy power over the subject to the Territorial Legislatures, The importance and comprehensive bearings of these decieions cannot be over-estimated—— they cover all the disturbing party and sectional igeues upon the slavery controverey, and strike at the root of the mischief in every case. First, the supreme judical tribunal of the Union decides that, according te the constitation, negroes are not citizens, whether free men or slaves. In other words, ours is the white man’s constitation, and the negro, as e citizen, is abso- lately ignored. The consequence is, that all the existing constitutions and laws of the free States elevating negroes to the rights and privileges of citizenship, are null and void; for, in this au- thoratively declared meaning of the constitation, to be a citizen of a State is to be a citizen of the United States, inasmuch as the constitution ex- pressly ordains (Art. 4 sec. 2), that “the citizens of each State shall be entitled to all the privi- leges and immunities of citizens in the s¢varal States.” This decision, therefore, setiles the old difiiculty between Massachusetts and South Caro- lina concerning the free colored citizen cooks and seatnen of the former, treated only as dan- gerous free negroes upon entering the perts of the latter State. The decision is against Massa chusetts and hey free colored citizens, and in fa yor of South Carolina. The decisions concerning the federal or dinance of 1787 and the Missouri compromise of 1820 establish the full validity of the Kaveas-Nebraska bill, as the true conatitations! policy in regard to slavery in the Territories. The decision concerning slaves in ‘razsitu through a free State, or the temporsry sojouro of a Southern slave in a free State, settles the Lemmon case, and all cases like that of Mr. Wheeler of North Carolina, whose slaves, at Philadelphia, were so unceremoniously spirited away ; and in all such cases tbe supreme decree is decisive of the slavebolder’s constitutional rights to his slave property. But the most’ important of these supreme de cisions, in a political party view, is the jadgment that Congrees has no power, and can delegate no power over the question of slavery in the Terri- tories. This decision at asingle blow shivers the anti-slavery platform of the late great Northern republican party into atoms. The policy of legis- lating slavery out of Kansas and the other Territo- ries of the Union by Coc gress will no longer avail them. Congress has no power in the premises. at is settled. What was in doubt is ia doubt no longer. The supreme law is expounded by the supreme authority, and disobedience is rebellion, treason and revolution. The republican party henceforth’ must choose between sabmission and AMUSEMENTS THIS EVENING.

But the important bille are those which refer to the Oity Hall and Park, which will place ® patronage of from twenty te thirty millions of dollars in the hands of the Albany nominees; aad that which entrusts to the same parties the ap- pointment of all the police in New York, Brook- }yn, and the most popaloas adjacent counties. Tf the party led by Thurlow Weed can carry these points, they count te rale New York for ten years to come. They may do so for anything we know. We can only say that when a similar echeme with re- gard to the police was tried in England—mon- archical England! with all the privileges of aris- tocraey established and acknowledged—the stuc- dy municipalities rebelled and rose in arms, and the government was obliged to abandon it. It has succeeded, and flourishes in France, Germany and other despotic countries, and is in fact the most convenient arm of despotism; bat, in Anglo- Saxon countries, it has. never yet been porsi- ble to indace men to surrender their privileges ae freemen so far as to tolerate its establishment. To loee the control (and control implies employ- ment and removal) of the police is to lose th: best of all guarantees against oppression: it re- mains to be seen whether New York will set the example of this voluntary self-abasement. A Barca or Liner Sorrs,—The personalities of:the press of late have resulted in qnite a large nomber of libel suite, some of which, if they ever go to trial, will give us developements of the most amusing character. Our amiable cotempo- raries of the Tribune are doing the most extensive: business in this way. Greeley has two suits against Western journals—one of which charged him witb taking Mariposa stock as a bribe for supporting Fremont, and the other with accept- ing a bribe of one thousand dollars for aiding in the passage of the Des Moines Navigation bi!!. Greeley is also sued by Mr. Counsellor Bustes:i. who bas been charged in the 7ribune with “garrot- ing” a certain paper in Court. Then we have an intense excitement in the theatrical world in relation to the libel suit brought by Seymour, « theatrical critic, against Burton, a manager said Burton charging the aforeeaid Seymour with ve nality and incompetency. The fashionable worl: is promised a bonne bouche by the corpalent sexto: of Grace church, the celebrated Brown, withoui whose aid no person in society can be christen. married, buried, or give a party, Ou of the Sunday papers charges Brow. with making a good thing out of young mn who desire to get invitations to fashionable p+: ties, which statement Brown says he will mu: the Sunday paper prove to be trae in open cou” or abide theconsequences. We do not know ! much Greeley expects to get from the Wes editors, or whether Brown thinks that he make his foray against the Sunday paper pay but Seymour sues Barton simply fur relie’; aud we preeume theffall parties will feel relieved i their minds after having been thoroughly over hauled by the lawyers. The pablic, however will be the only gainers in fact, and will an doubtedly obtain some rich reoding for the dog days. Tue, Prosecrep Removal or Conover Con very.-+-It will be remembered that on tho_clo: of the Burdell inquest, Mr. Clinton, Mrs. C ningham’s counsel, preferred charges’ agains! Coroner Connery, and transmitted them to the Governor, soliciting that he be removed from the office he holda. Coroner Counery followed the charges to Albany to make hie defence; and we are given to understand that, on hearing what he had to say, Governor King inclined to the belief that the charges against lim were frivelour, and apparently got up by the counsel of the parties accused of murder in order to divert public at- tion from the great questien of their guilt or in- nocence by introducing a new collateral issugiaty the public mind. Still, as the charges were formally made, and as the party accused was rather anxious for a full and gomplete acquittal, Governor King thought it best to direct tuat the matter should be made the subject of a legal and public inquiry. The papers were therefore trans- mitted to the District Attorney of thie city, by whom proceedings will shortly be taken to try. before one of the Judges, in the usual and lega! form, whether Coroner Connery was or was not guilty of itlegal acts in the inquest he held on the body of Harvey Burdell. Thus,in a few days. this all absorbing Burdell case will again come before the public ina new shape. It isto be hoped that the public will not be diverted from the main question of the discovery of the foul murderer of Burdell by any side questions of trivial importance. ‘Tee Ors callous we shall have the Opera up to the first of May, ‘and pxroeps egor Mr. Strakosoh's second scason }\+ doen hi.hty euecesstul, but we bear thet be has mac arrapgements for « concert tour at the emf ef the pre sent soason, which will terminate next wrok.

We have received from « correspondent at Lecompton, » copy of the act lately passed by the Legislature of Kansas, providing for a cen 1 of the Territery, and for s convention to form » Btate constitution; also, s copy of the mesage of Governor Geary, giving his reasons for re- fasing hie signature to the said bill. The object of the act, which was subsequently parsed unanimously over the Governor’s veto, will be discovered at a glance. It is, by desperate pro-slavery coup @étai, to make Kansas aslave State. Hence, in the business of the pro- posed People’s Convention, the spproaching spring emigrations into the Territory are to be cut off; and in various other respects the con- vention, for the purposes of a pro-slavery cousti- tion, will be as nicely pasked as the late Missouri- Kansas Legislature itself. Another reeent act, providing the death penalty for. disobedience to the code known as the bogus laws of Kansas, is, perhape, intended to intimidate the rebellious free State equatters into submission to the “manifest destiny” of niggers provided for them by the aforesaid census bill. ‘Theee are high handed transactions—so daring- ly despotic, unjust and oppressive that they oan hardly fai) to attract the early attention of Mr. Buchanan and bis Cabinet. But in the meantime we perceive that our abolition and migger wor- shippers’ journals of the North are getting up another hae and cry concerning the immi- nent peril of the establishment of elavery in Kansas, through the unscrapualous pro- slavery expedients of this Missouri elected Legislature, and it is against this senseless parti- zap hue and ery that we would direct the dispas- sionate attention of our readers. Slavery in Kaneas! It cannot be established. Under all the privileges-of the existing Territo- rial organic law, and with all the pothouse and despotic appliances of a bogus Territorial Legis- lature, bogas officers of the law, and the late bogus sdministration at Washington, there are perhape not over two omnibus loads of negro slaves locatcd with their masters in the Territory. The great mass of the dona fide settlers of Kansas are free State settlers; the great majority of the bona fide land hoklers are free State men, and tor the best of reasons among all men of business. Make Kansas a free State, and her choice lands. mill seats, town sites, &c., will be worth from five to ten times over the price they would feton if Kaveas were simply annexed to Missouri; an’ allthe men of property, substance and enter- prise concerned in the destiny of Kansas know it. Accordingly, we have ne fears that thes: desperate expediente of a pro-vlavery Legislature will result in making Kansas a slave State. But grant that this proposed convention will be elected as arranged, will meet, wilt adopt a State constitution establishing the institution of slavery in the State; and granting, for the rake of the argument, that the ensuing deraocratic Congress will accept this State const:tution, and that Mr Buchanan will sign the bill, and admit Kansas under it as a slave State, how long will it con- tinue so?—three years, or two, or one? Once a State, their work will be dene, and the Missou- rians will retire. Then it will a) ¢ that Kau sas is a slave State without slaveholdets oF slave’ and an amendment of the State constitution in reference to slavery will be one of the first results of absolute popular sovereignty. ‘The idea that under a pro-slavery State go vernment niggers can te made to pay in Kansas is absurd. They have ceased to pay in Missoari. Slavery is there steadily receding before the advancing waves of westward Earope- an and Anglo-American emigration. Room— room--for their swelling thousands, is still the cry—room! room! move on! As far vorthwest as Minnesota, the country, comparative- ly, is filled up; Nebraska is @ling up, and the heavy tide is pressing down with irresistible force, not only upon Kaneas, but upon Missouri, Kea- tucky, Virginia, Maryland and Delaware. All these States, perhaps within the next fifteen, per- haps within the next ten years, will be free States It must be so. We cannot repeal the laws of nature and of climate--we cannot reverse the laws of population, avd this heavy western cur- rent of the white races must have room, As it fills up the few remaining waste places of the northwest, it will overfiow the border States of the South. Thus, while all the eouviry ie agitated con cerning slavery in Kansas, slavery is actually dying out in Missouri and other border slave States. As the lands in the free States becom: higher io price, emigration from the North will be diverted more and more to the cheaper land+ of the border slave States, uatil the natural boun daries of African slavery are reduced to the cot ton, rive and sugar regions of the “ sunny South, where the heat and the malaria, which are death to the European, are life and bealth to the Afri- can.
