Wasntxetos, March 31. Editor of the Star:—Dear Sir: I notice para- graphs in various papers. professing to give an account of a recent carp iegearerm | between the 4-377" Parker, and the students of the Harva 4 school, and aisOWMouttiZ"“"* “, Rdilze to present to the public the true state of facts through the medium of your valuable paper, in order that the affair nay neither prejudice southern students, nor increase the already deplorable dislike exist- ing between the nerthern and southern sections of our Union. The account which I am about to pot is related by a southern student present at he time, and verified by two other students now im this city. Prof. Parker, while lecturing upon «Constitutional Law,” referred to the mission of dudge Hoar, of Boston, to South Carolina, and stated as bis opinion, that if the obnoxious law bad been brought before the Supreme Court of the United States, it would have been pronounced conatitutional, on the ground upon which it has been before decided, viz: the right of each State to pass protective police laws. Prof. Parker's legal opinious are highly regarded by the students and all others knowing bim, and the southerners exprested: their gratification at this avowal by applauee; the northern students hissed, in token. partly of their disapproval of the opinion and partly! of the stamping. Prof. Parker did not understand either the aj plause or the biases; but construed the latter as directed against him per- sonally, and spoke See it, saying that he would allow himself such latitude of remark, while discussing legal questions, as his duty as lecturer requi jardiess of approval or disap- proval. ¥ At the close of the lecture the matter was ex- plained to him by parties from sides; and before iuning the next lecture he expressed his re- gret at misunderstanding the students. Here the affair dropped for the time being, without excit- ing any more bad feeling than is manifested in any institution of the kind — trivial occasions Ne more wes thought of it until the next day. when an article Bt iige in the Boston Journ: eressly misrepresenting the occurrence, and justly reflecting upon the southern students. Prof Parker then t oh ok it his duty to state the true facts, which be did in the succeeding day's issue, without Gr any blame upon the southern stedents. Bnt the nortnern Papers zenerally paid ne attention to Prof. Parker's statement, preferring te circulate the les contained in the previous ar- ticle—each paper adding Soeiog on its own responsibility. The large majority of the southern students now attending that law school are well pleased with the professors and the institution, and have no desire to create any disturbance i any way They are generally young men of tense, having more liberal and wholesome views of the nature of our Government and inter-State relations, than those fanatics of the North and Soutb, who, npon the happening of every little eccurrence which tres; upon the sentiments of one or the other, immediately denouncea whole section. and counsel extreme measures, which. if acted upon, would drown free government, civ- ‘lization. and religion inasea of blood. They believe in dealing with such troubles in the same manner that fathers manage disorderly children, with cooluess and firmness, but at the same time forbearance. Respectfully yours, Josern.

Tue Cornscticur ELection,—At 2 P. m. to- day, we received a private dispatch from New York, announcing that on the Democratic bulletin boards in Hartford and New Haven it is this morning admitted that the Repub candidate for Gmvernor is elected by 1,100 majority; and that the Republicans there claim about 2,500 majority for him; and further, that to both Houses of the Legislature Republican majorities have Deen elected. All this is as we anticipated. The peculiar Supporters of Mr. Douglas rushed forward to as- sume the lead in, and control of, the late Conrec- ticut canvass on the Democratic side, and fought the battle distinctly upon his squatter sovereignty idiosyncrasies. Caleb Cushing was the only anti- Douglas man from a distance, of any force what- ever, who was invited and participated in the canvass on the Democratic side As effective as his speeches were, they were borne down by those of the pro-Douglas orators—every man of whom was of light weight. Some from this region, for instance, being (what are known in racing circles as) ‘‘feathers” merely. « Thus Douglasism, notwithstanding the enor- mous expenditure of money subscribed in New York on the Democratic side, has insured in Con- necticut what it brought about in the last elec- tions in Iowa, Minnesota, Obio, Mlinois, Wiscon- sin, and Michigan—perhaps the soundest thrasb- ing at the polls, that th« party ever received in these several States. ———_—___ Tre Prorosep Cray Statun.—We Tejoice to be able to say that yesterday $3,500 were sub- scribed by a few of our fellow-citizens towards raising the $15,000 necessary to procure the statue of the late Henry Clay, which it is Proposed that the distinguished artist, Brown, shall execute for Washington city.

In reply to the argument of Mr.Taylor, he contended that Congress the Power to spam this crime. Mr. McClernand said that there was no instance in which Congress had directly operated for the oe of crime in the organized ‘Territo- ries. % Mr. Pryor argued that Congress may su vise and annul the organic law of an inelpient aiste, Mr. Hooper, the delegate from Utab, said that polygamy was a part of Mormon religious faith. Mr. Pryor replied he had examined the disgust- ing farrago called tue Mormon Bible, and could not therein find a solitary word in favor of po- lygamy as a religious right. He did not, how- ever, pretend to be acquainted with all the po- lemics of the Salt Lake saints. In conclusion, he spoke of the necessity for the extirpation of this scandalous crime. It was offensive in the eyes of nations and a reproach to civil Mberty Polygamy had shown its enormity in the bitter fruits, of AS aed crime. fs r. Etheridge said he found the rey mblicans and democrats harmonizing on the wexed question astothe power of Congress over slavery in the Territories; and that whoever votes for ‘this bill would be required to uphold this power when the subject of slavery shall be presented hereafter. He regarded adultery, incest, and polygamy as kin- dred crimes, and argued that if ther could punish married men and women they could punish single ones The Constitution reco; ‘nises slavery no more than it does husband and wife. He repeated, the power to legislate over adultery and polygamy in the Territories concedes the power to make the law apy cable to black as well as white persons. Mr. 1 raylor gave the reasons why be cculd not vote for the bill. Its passage weuld result in no seod, and become a dead letter on the statute. book. He thought the amendment of Mr. Bra ty {fo substitute another system of government for the Mormons) would apply @ remedy fur an evil which all seemed desirous should be extirpated He argued that Congress has no power to extend penal laws into organized ‘Territories Without action on the bill, at a few minutes to five the House adjourned Ss Proceedings of Te-Dey.

Mr. Hunter moved to take up the Iadian appro- priation bill; so ordered, and the bill was under discussion and amendment when our report closed . Hovse.—The House resumed the consideration of the special order—the bill to punish and pre- vent the practice of polygamy in the Territories of tue United States and other places, and disap- proving and annulling certain acts of the Legisia- tive Assembly of the Territory of Utah. Mr. McClernand, of Ill, being entitled to the Hloor, éaid he asserted yesterday that there was no instance in which Congress has enacted a special penal code for any specitic crime, and woula now proceed to sustain himself in that assertion. The act of 17%, to which the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Millson) alluded, was of general application. Congress has delegated to the Territory jurisdic. tion over crime; and aman committing an offence, pret becomes amenable to the local criminal law. He admitted that polygamy wasa great evil; that it was a nuisance in the eyes of Christendom. and that it cua to beextirpated; but the ques- tion was whether the bill prenared bythe cor. nefé-tuaree lucha rtt-~"Phat bill rendered poly- gamy an offence and affixed a penalty; but it left tue extirpation of this vice in the hands of the parties implicated. which would completely de- Stroy the effect of the bill. He proposed to divide the Territory of Utah into two sections, the one to be styled Nevada. and the other Jeffersonia; and thus, by placing the insti- tution among a people who are hostile to it, effect its extirpation.

Col. Oropesa, the special agent of the Minister of War at Vera Cruz, has arrived at New Orleans for the purpose of obtaining new supplies of am- munition, for the continued @efence of the city. He thinks there is no doubt Miramon has aban- doned the siege for good. and gone back to the city of Mexico, or in that direction. He is certain he could not have gone to Alvarado. The untversally-attributed cause of this sudden abandonment of the siege is the failure of ammu- nition, and it may yet turn out to be the case that the besieging army has only temporarily retired. This. at sll events, is to be remarked, that at the village of Medellin, the most convenient place of retirement, they would be out of sight of the city. Col. Oropesa states that the damage done to the city by the bombardment is very great, but that it will fall most heavily upon the property of the friends of the besiegers. ‘The people who, to the number of two or three thousand—men, women, and children—took refuge in the castle during the bombardment. had not returned to the city when Col. tae ee left. They were preparing, how- ever, to do so. The’ Vera Cruz correspondent of the New Or- leans Picayune says of the bombardment of that city: Thursday afternoon, the 15th inst, the bom- bardment of the city recommenced with far more fury than ever before. At intervals all night the enemy were throwing bombs into town; and again on the morning of the 16th, there was sharp cannonading on both sides, and during the —e of thesame, the enemy continued throwing bombs. At33g o'clock on the morning of the 17th, Mira- mon made an attack on the city, firing musketry and two field pieces. The point of attack was at the barracks of the Merced, near the Alameda, but he was very quickly repulsed, as some thirty cannon and two thousand pieces of musketry were brought to bear on the oer. The firing in this attack and tepulse lasted only about 25 minutes, when everything becatne suddenly as silent as death, with only, now and then, t! firing iato the town of bombs. ‘This sight, in the shades of darkness, was excitingly magnificent; it was an unceasing flash of brilliant ligbt from the boom- ing of the heavy cannon and firing of the mus- ketry along the whole lines of the forts, from the Santiago on the southeast to the Gemelos fort, on the west. 7. At about 6), o'clock the morning of the 17th, the cannonadiug and bombardment was again resumed in a most terrific manner, and kept up for about two hours, during which only five poor women and two children were wounded, which was from the bursting of a bomb. Up to the present writing I am happy to say that there is not much less ef life, but a great destruction of houses. ‘Tbe most of the women and children bave been removed from the city to the vessels in the har bor, to the castle of San Juande Uluz The latter place bas now some 2,5: of them. At about 12 o'clock, ou the night of the 17 the enemy commenced another bombardm and keptit up, and at 9 o'clock this mornin; (the Isth,) another terrible and most determined cannonading from beth sides was resumed. The same correspondent, writing on the st ult., says Since my last to you, of the ISth inst., the usual excitement in the morning, of cannouading and bombarding, takes place between the belligerent forces, which lasts about two hours. On the morning of the 19th, there was a severe cannonading on both sides, and the bombs of the enemy caused a fearful destruction ef property, but fortunately few lives were lost During the night of the 19th there was another attempt to make an #ssault upon the city on the southeast, and I am happy to say it was received ‘ta la modo Americana,” that is to say, the enem was allowed to approach without the “besieg: seeming to notice them. as they very colly re- served ‘their fire until the enemy got very near the trenches. when the guns from the Fort of San- tiago, loaded with grape aud canister, were dis- charged with serious effect, and caused them to beat a quick retreat. Loss of the enemy in this affair not known. On the morning of the 20th the cannonading was again resumed, and lasted about two hours, and, as usual, some partial destruction of houses from the bursting of bombs. Writing still later, on the same day, the cor respondent says : Changes come so thick and fast that it is almost impossible to keep up with them. I have now to inform you that Miramon jis in the act, at this moment, of packing up and breaking up bis camp, and this now clearly accounts for the sap- sed new buttery discovered yesterday. Itwrs a lind to induce the besieged to think he was re- newing his efforts against the city, while he, in tie meantime, was preparing to be off Thus ends tue bombardment of Vera Cruz, with a terrible destruction of property from. the effects of the fourteen inch mortars. It wil. take months.te it was before 1 regard this failure of Miramon’ as the bezinning of the end of bis reign, if it is not already consummated When reflecting on this grand result, too much credit cannot be given to the independent action of our gallant naval olficers on this station. The use of their wise discretion, in the absence of orders from our Governinent, or its dilatory action, has been the means of saving the Liberal cavse in Mexico. Miramon made his appearance before this city the 1th inst., which makes seventeen days that the city was besieged, out of which. the latter six days there was a general cannonading and bom- bardment. The losses on the side of the enemy are supposed to be wreat, in desertions, death, and wounded. Capt. Aldham, of If. B. M. S. Valorous, has written to Miramon this morning, protesting very strongly against his wanton and inbaman dest tion of English property and innocent life. This, I think, will quickly fix tue determination of the English Government to acknowledge the Govern- ment of the Liberalists. Tt GREAT POPULARITY * ° DR.

Ha on be 9 Isles and Shores of pe at Methodist Protestant Ch on C evening, was listened cit not of our city only, P audience, which was m: yd composed of of most prominent citizens and ie families, we recognized many well known faces from Washington, amongst others that of the venerable Secretory of State, who, at the close of the address, was the first to congratu- late the talented young lecturer. Rev. Drs. Til- Mapharst, Norwood and Bocock were present; and the orator was introduced to the audience by the Rev. David W ison, late pastor of the church Mr. Hunter isa young man of medium beight, am ongly merked but most expressive features. He isa pleasant reader, with a finely modulated voice; and when he becomes animated with bis subject disdains ail reference to his notes, and is truly eloquent. We have no doubt we but echo the seutiments of the entire audience when we say that we were more than pleased with the sub- ject and bis manner of treating it—we were de- lighted. It would be doing injustice to the orator to attempt to give an outline of bis remarks, and we will content ourselves by saying that the de- scription of ‘-high life” in Liberia, and of the black republican congress of that State, was capi- tal, and that tbe peroration was an effort we have seldom heard surpassed. We hope your Wash- ington readers will have an opportunity of judging for themselves, however, and at an early day. Our worthy fellow-citizen, Mr. Lewis Carberry, who wes for many years surveyor of our city, is, we regret to say, lying dangerously ill at his resi- dence on second street. The faneral on Sunday afternoon last of Mr. Theodore Clark, late member of General Taylor Lodge. 1.0.0 F., of Baltimore, was attended by the members of Mechan iss Lodge, of our city, and many visiting brothers.
