Highly Important from Washington—The Real Decision of the Court Martial and the Government in the Somers Case. We have the pleasure this morning, in aaother column, of announcing to the Jaw-loving portion of the honest American people, the real and true deci- sion of the Court Martial and of the Government, in the famous case of Alexander Slidell (two I’s we believe) McKenzie—formerly the Commander of the U.S. brig Some No matter how we have got these important facts—there they are. By this statement, it appears that in spite of all the efforts of an oligarchy here to acquit Captain MeKenzie, and to trample on the rights, lives and liberties of American mariners, the verdict of the Court Martial stood, five for not proven—and seven for proven. In the Cabinet Council (Secretary Spencer absent,) Secretary Upshur alone was in his favor. Now in acivil court, such a result would leave room for a new trial. In the present case Captain McKenzie escapes with the skin of his teeth from the highest penalty of the law—but we feel authorised to announce, either that a new trial may be ordered, or that he will never be called to the public service, and may be dismissed from the Navy on the result of the prosecution commenced againet him by Wilson of the thirteen mile long knife. On another occasion we may give a full report of the debate of the Court Martial on making up their opinion, and the individual votes thereupon. The sure and impartial trial of Captain McKenzie be- gins from this day forth—even silver pitchers can- notsave him from the condemnation of the civil ised world. The death of poor Leacock, the sur- geon, has to be accounted for yet. Strange things are coming. Prosrrors on rue Rubicon—Exrectep Spiir.— There will positively be a split in the ‘* Democra- cie” of the new Corporation. They are too strong tokeep united—besides the Presidential question itself. The leading spirits will be Alderman Purdy, Alderman Lee, Alderman Tilyou, and Alderman Brevoort. Mr. Tilyou isa man of great talent, in- dustry, invincible integrity, and sound principles. He will make a figure. Mr. Brevoort is well known as a man of a highly cultivated mind and elevated principles. Alderman Purdy and Lee are well known as popular, fearless and thoroughly de- mocratic. On the organization of the new Corporation we intend to establish a system of full and extended re- ports of their debates, that will astonish the country. Now is the time to begin a grand movement, that will lead and direct the great currents of events to futurity. In this movement we shall be just, inde- pendent, and always befriend those who befriend us. Mutualconfidence and mutual tickling always go as sweetly together in a civilized and intelligent age, as bread and butter down the throat of a school boy. Corroration Spor ‘Tue Printinc —The first step of the new Corporation, next month, will be to dismiss their present printe.s and stationers. These printers are Charles King, J, Van Norden, and Tho was Snowden. This will be a severe blow to the first—as the existence of the American depends on spoils either of banks, trusts, or corporations. However, (fate is fate. Already a great contest is begun for their places. The candidates are Levi D. Slamm, Wm. C. Bryant, Wm. P. Denman, Joseph Elliott, and C. C. Childs. The printing of both boards—and all the departments—are equal to $25,000 per annum. The Whigs pobably spent as high as $30,000 on their employées—but this is the age of retrenchment, reform and cash prices —and the item ought to be brought down to $20,- 000, which is quite enough. Funny Tyrer Movements.— According to the de- velopments made by Gen. Van Renssalaer and Mr. Wasson, of Albany, of Tyler movements, it appears that Mr. Lewis Eaton, Agent of the Post Office, is one of the principal Tyler managers of this State. He is a sort of Oliver Le Dain, or post office barber, and does his business very well. Isaac Hill is also another important personage. The movements of all these men are extremely interesting. A full description of Jast year’s operations will be given soon. No man has ever been so awfully duped asCaptain Tyler. Oh! oh! oh! Curious Orrer.—We understand that a gentle- man, an eminent merchant down town, has offered a leading Van Buren man in this city, the best suit of clothes he can have made, for a single proof that the Sage of Lindenwold possesses a solitary quali- fication for the Presidency. It is said that he has not yet tound it, although he has been hard at work dig- ging into the mysteries of Lindenwold for nearly four months. Tux Mississirrr Deratcation.—Several of the Treasury Notes which are advertised as having been abstracted by the Treasurer of the State of Mississippi, were received in payment of duties ay the New York Custom House last November. The sum thus received amounts to three thousand dol- Jars, and the notes were cancelled by the Collector when received. The notes were regularly endorsed, and they were received from one of the most dis- tinguished merchants of this city. If Governor Tucker will call at the Captain’s office (Treasury Department) he will find the notes on file, cancelled and settled according to law. New Docrrinrs—Tur Apvocates or MurpER.— A certain class of newspapers are beginning to break ground in favor of murder, assassination, homicide, and the illegal taking away of life. The popular clamor, raised up by influence and other secret methods in the affairs of the Somers, of Singleton ercer, and other cases, 1s beginning to shut the eyes of the community to the wilfal taking away of life under the plea of fear, passion, or other causes. The “ New {York Tribune” half and half justifies the murder of Heberton—but the ‘Albany Daily Four * er from Europe—Acquittal of McNaughton—State of Trade, &. The South America, Captain Bailey, arrived yes- terday in thirty five days from Liverpool. Thisis a short passage for the season. Captain Bailey always make quick trips. She brings Liverpool papers of the 8th and Lon- don papers of the 7th ult. Five cabin and one hun- dred and twenty steerage passengers came in her. They speak in the highest terms in praise ot Captain Bailey. The only important item from England is the ac’ quittal of McNaughton, the murderer of the lament- ed Mr. Drummond, on the ground of insanity. This gave rise to a discussion in the House of Lords on the 6th ult., as to the necessity of introducing some measure on the subject of the plea of partial insanity in cases of murder. Lord Brougham, the Lord Chancellor, Lord Denman, and Lord Camp- bell, each spoke in favor of some provision to meet the defence now so commonly set up. The Guizot Ministry have again been sustained by a large majority. They were still talking in Parliament about the corn laws. Noaction, however. Packet ships George Washington, United States, and Columbus had arrived at Liverpool. ‘The Cotton, market was rather heavy. No change in prices. ‘The Madrid journals of the 26th February have reached usin due course. Their contents are de- void of interest. The Paris journals of Sunday, the oth ult., are en- tirely destitute of news, but they continue to com- ment at great length on the vote in the Chamber of Deputies on the service bill and right of search. ‘The overland mail had not arrived. It was not expected till the 10th, {in consequence of a heuvy gale of wind off France. The Queen and Prince Albert had gone to Clare- mont. There had been a smart shock of an earthquake in Scotland. Sir John Thomas Jones is dead. Corn Trape.—A transaction in the corn trade was announced on Wednesday, the nature of which was such as caused very general observation among merchants. A cargo of wheat, just arrived {rom Wolgast, was cleared for consumption at the duty now payable, which is the {highest that can be im- osed under the new law—namely, 203 per quarter, he effect of this unlooked-for movement has been that of producing a depression in the market, the understanding being that other cargoes are on their way, which will also come into immediate con- sumption. It should be mentioned, that the quality of the cargo cleared on Wednesday, consisting of about 700 quarters, was fine, and that gt was sold at 59s per quarter, duty paid.—ZLondon Post. New Posr Orrick Arrancements.—-In conse: quence of the numerous applications that have been made by'the merchants in the City, Liverpool, and Bristol, to Lord Lowther, the Postmaster General, for a more expeditious means of communication be- tween this country, the Brazils, and Buenos Ayres, negociations have been for some time pending on the subject. We have, by means of the royal West India mail packets, a regular communication twice a month (the Ist and 15h) Beaean, with all the British as well as foreign West India islands, Mexico, Carthagena, &c., and as a commer- cial treaty is about to be concluded with the Emperor, Don Pedro Il. and Great Britain, an early means of correspondence between that part of South America willbe of great advan- tage to the mercantile interest. Contracts for the transmission of the Medeira, Brazils, and Buenos Ayres mails, by steam packets, are on the point of being concluded, and in all probability will com- mence with the mails of next month. At present the following eighteen gun brigs are kept in commission as packets alPalmouth—her Majesty’s brigs Ranger, Linnet Penguin, Swift, Express, Petrel and Crane— ata great expense to the country. By transmitting the Brazils and Buenos Ayres mails by the West India steam packets, not only will there be a great saving to government, but an expeditious commu- nication will be afforded to the merchants The new French West India Steam Company are also going to have a regular line of packets between Havre and the Brazils, besides touching at all the West India islands. The first packets will com- mence running in May. Tueatricats —Freeman, the American Giant, and Hervio Nano, were at Sadler’s Wells. The ac- tual height of Freeman is as near 6 feet 10 inches as possible. Sweeny with his banjo was at the Eng- ish Opera House. Browne, the comedian, was at Liverpool. Van Amburg and Carter with their wild beasts continued at the English Opera House, London. They had North with them. The cele- brated Adale Dumilatre, of the French Royal Academy, was to have made her appearance in London on the 1th ult. Fanny Elssler was also to re-appear, to be assisted by Sylvain. Giubilei was at Covent Garden. Madam E. Garcia and H. Wallack were atthe Princess’ Theatres. Jim Crow Rice was playing at the Adelphi. Mr. Charles Kean, we regret to say, is detained in Bath, incon sequence of the alarming illness of his wife (Ellen Tree) who is at present utterly unable to fulfil her rolessional engagements. Mr. and Mrs. Mathews have been performing at Ediaburgh with extraordi- nary success. The forthcoming novelty at the Adelphi, called “ Captain Charlotte,” is an adapta- tion of a French piece of the same name, which had an immense success in Paris. Miss Kate Howard makes her debut in the leading character. Markets. Loxpox Moxey Manxet—Mancu 7.--Ciry, 12 o'clock. —The last monthly averages of the assets and liabilities of the Bank of England, published in the Gazette of Fri- day last, furaish a solution of the enigma as to the cause of the excessive glut of money which hes deluged the London market for the last two orthree months. We see by these returns that the Bank has increased her securi- ties to the extent of £3,325,000 in the interval between the 26th Nov. and the 26th February, by which she must have forced out her own issues toa similar extent upon a mor- ket already overloaded with currency, and during the same period her issues have been increased by £780,000 paid for bullion added to her previous stock on hand. Of course we have no means of ascertaining with cer- tainty what description of securities tve Bank has chosen for investment at such an inauspicious mo- ‘nent ; therefore, every one must form his own con- clusion on this point " The great advance which hi occurred simultaneously in the prices of our stocks and Exchequer Bills, might not unreasonably be ascribed to the gradual and continued purchase of stock for the Bank ; or she may have been called upon by the Chancellor of the Ex«hequer for heavy advances against deficiency bills, to meet the wants of the Treasury, which was previously exhausted by the unproductive state of the revenue, so thet larger advances than usual were re. juired to provide forthe payment of the January divi jends. That thecurrency is now preposterously inflated is proved by the fact of the excessive amount of unem- ployed deposits lying unproductive in the Bank—the last return showing the average amount of £11,205,000, in the place of about £9,000,000 dering the course’ of the year 1542, and only $7,500,000 for the latter part of the r 1841. The shipping lists show a vast number of ar. those at Liverpool from America are very consi- derable, amounting to between 15 and 20 ; the addition which will be thus made to the stock of cotton will have the effect of keeping down the staple for some time, and favor the manufacturer, who now is in better spirits ; for although goods fetch but low prices, there is a certain prospect of the staple being supplied at reasonable rates, s0as still to leave a fair remuneration, One of those strange anomalies which have lately attended the Mexi- ean Market has again puzzled the dealers; the stock, which yesterday fell to 29,0n account of the disappoint- ment at the remittance of the dividends being madequate to the wants, has to-day risen'to 314, without any positive cause. Two O’Cock.—Nothing has occurred on the Stock Market daring the morning ; prices remain stationary. It is well known that the Bank has long complained that she is, to a certain extent, restricted in her means of find- ing employment for deposits, &c., now that the interest on commercial bills has fallen ; and instances the cases of Joint Stock Banks, who have the whole field of the Stock Exchange as well as the commercial world at their cora- mand ; it is not, therefore, unnatural to conclude that our Advertiser” comes out full, justifies that act, and approves the verdict of acquittal out and out. These are new doctrines, indeed—and may well be calculated to alarmeociety. Is this Fourierism ? or what is it? We have an excellent article from an “ Old Fashioned Fellow” on this subject, which we will give to-morrow.4yWe have yet much to say on these “ new lights.” ———————. Granp Temperance Crcemration.—There will be a great Temperance Soireé this evening at the ‘Tabernacle in aid of the Temperance Union. The grand feature of attraction will be Mr. Russell, who will be present and sing some of his most popu- lar songs, and particularly that most celebrated of all temperance sons, ‘* The dream of the Keveller,” as sung by him at Exeter before an audience of 300) people ; he will aleo sing several other of his most attractive Che public have experienced 80 much inconven [rom the excessive crowds to hear Mr. Russel) at Niblo’s, that they will be pleased to know they can go to-night and hear him where there will be plenty of room. In addition to this at- traction, Professor Greenbank will pronounce some much admired temperance sketeh: including the “Rum Maniac.” We should not be surprised to see even the Tabernacle itself filled to its utmost capacity, for the occasion will probably bring eut most of the temperance people in the city. view of the caseia correct.

The fo- reign supplies consisted of afew small cargoes of wheat, which together have equalled in quartity 2,500 quarters. 1m the early part of the week the trade was tolerably free for most articles, but on Wednesday and Friday it again flagged, and the business transacted was very li- mited. ‘The show of whest this morning from Essex was small, but the Kentish supply rather exceeded that of last week, the condition of the samples was in a measure im- ines and although the demand was without much ife, the stands have been pretty generally cleared, at the Prices of this day week; there has also been altttle de mand for fre ‘gn wheat; but without any improve- ‘ious.

It will be observed there are reported 3,- 300 qrs of wheat from abroad; 1,600 qrs from Odessa, and 1,700 qrs from Wolgast. The latter, which is of the last crop, of fine quality, and weighing about 64lbs_per impe- rial bushel, has been offered at 7s 9d per 701bs. duty paid. ‘The wheat trade generally has remained in the same dull state that we have now for many weeks had to report it, and both foreign and Irish were on Friday purchasable at 1d per bushel below our previous currency. Flour, too, has moved slowly, and on scarcely so good terms. The scarcity of oats has kept up their value, 9s 6d per 45lbs having been obtained for fine Irish mealing. Oatmeal has receded a little in price; very marks have been sold ‘at 20s 6d to 208 91 per load. _ ply has rendered malting barley perial qr. has been taken for Eng! 318 forcommon.

Sack flour was offered at a reduetion of 1s to 2s per ‘2301bs; rela was held for previous rates, but met little, or nodemand. Oats, being rather easier to’ purchase, s¢- veral parcels were taken for country account. Oatmeal must be noted 6d per load cheaper, and very dull of sale. btatk or Trape—Mancuesrer, Morch 7.—With the exception of Saturday (on which day the demand for cloth must be saidto have been less animated) the demand for all descriptions of power and hand loom fabrics must be stated as heavy, and as there is some probability that the demand will continue, now that prices are supposed to be atthe lowest, the spiritsof our manufacturers are much more buoyant; and were our relations with Ameri- ca again Placed on their old footing, we should be nearly all that could be reasonably desired, for a sery little creazed demand would enable the manufacturers to isefair profits.

Rocupate—There was a very glcomy market at Roch- dale last week; business for some weeks past has been growing worse, and the very few flannels that have been sold have been disposed of at reduced prices. Wool is a drug; and the dealers who have effected any sales have been obliged to submit to a small reduction in price.

They are occupied with the correspouc: iscoursgin, ng tween the British merchants and the British potentiary, respecting the recent riot and dest: tion of the British factories at Canton. The British Plenipotentiary considers the Chinese as having been provoked by the Lascars, belonging to British ships, and throwsthe blame, therefore, of the occur rence, on the British merchants, for not sufficiently restraining the crers of their vessels. The mer- chants replied rather warmly, and the war seems now to be between the British merchants and the British officials.

Tae Minirary ovr Yesrerpay.—Col. Warner's regiment of infantry and riflemen were out on pa- rade yesterday, in honor of the centennial birth-day of Jeflerson. They paid a marching salute to Gen. Morris in front of the City Hall. There were three companies of Germans, and they made a very fine appearance, in Celebration of the Centennial Anniver. sary of the Birth of Thomas Jefferson, The democrats “killed two birds wilt one stone,” and celebrated the centennial anniversary of the birth of Jetferson, and their late triumph, at one and the same time, at old Temmany, last night. About two hundred persons sat down to dinner. It was a twodollar dinner, and the less said about its quality the better. Everything was atoned for, however, by the fire and enthusiasm of the guests. ‘The room was handsomely decorated by portraits of the Presidents of the United States, the flags of the various States, and other appropriate devices. His Honor the Mayor occupied the chair, and gustained the post with characteristic dignity. A reasonable number of the company got jolly be- fore the cloth was removed, and their patriotism kept at the boiling point all the evening, and was continually running over, accasioning no little in- terruption in the giving of the toasts. Afterthe cloth was rembved, the Cuarrman rose and said :— Gextiemen—A hundred years ago a spirit was sent among us, who propagated, raised, and spread that liberty which we now enjoy, and which is vastly and rapidly disseminating itself over the whole face of this earth. (Cheers.) It is for the purpose of commemorating that day that we havenow met. The first regular toast is— “The 2d of April, 1743—the day that gave Jetlerson to mankind—mankind will never forget that day.” Drank in solemn silence. Criainman—Please fill for the second regular toast—§) “The President of the United Sta (Cheers,)— {Major Davizae—Three cheers more!” which were ac- cordingly given.) Air—The President’s Marck. ‘The third toast was— “The Governor of the State of New York.” (Cheers.) Air—-“Governor’s March.” The next regular toast was— “The memory of George Washington.” Drank in solemn silence. Air—“Oftin the Stilly Night” The fitth regular toast was— “ The decease Democratic Presidents—guthered jewels of ourCountry.” Tn proposing the next regular toast the Chairman said that some of the band remained, and although sorrow for the dead was becoming, yet the living were worthy of loudest cheers. “The Revolutionary Patriots—they have nobly done their work—and their work nobly follows them.”—Three times three. Air—German Waltz. The next toast was— “The Declaration of Independence—a pledge of the lives, fortunes, and sacred honor of three millions of peo- ple for the cause of freedom and mankind—heroically made and as heroically redeemed.” (Great cheering.)

James Bucha- nan, Hon. Dixon H. Lewis, and other distinguished demo- crats. But, gentlemen, said the Chairman,whether you re. collect it or not, I have a most distinct remembrance of it, that we have just passed through our election. (Tremen- dous beradt ) Gentlemen, I mentioned this not expect- ing you would treat the matter so seriously, but to inform you that in consequence of the celebration having been got up inst before the election, it was impossible to send some of the invitations in time for them to be received be- fore this day, and too late for the reply to others to be reeeived by us. I mention this in order to explainthe reazon Why answers have not yet been received from all. As I have already bellowed and shouted till 1 am almost hoarse, 1 must request my friend on the left to read the letters of apology. ele foliowing letter from the President was then read :— GexriteMen— Thasten to acknowledge the receipt of your letter ‘of the 6th Instant, inviting me,on behalf of rv democratic fellow citizens of the city and county of New York, to partake with them of a nublic dinner, to be given at Tam- many Hall on the 13th instant, in commemoration of th centennial anniversary of Thomas Jefferson. Devoted as Tam, and always have been, to the principles of that great apostle of liberty, T cannot do otherwise than express my deep regret at my inability to comply wih your invita- tion. Reared in habitual admiration of his character, my public life mn uniformly and strenuously desoted to the maintainance of the great doctrines which he espous- ed. (Cheers.) Heis preperly to be regarded as, in his day and generation, the great champion of equal rights and equal privileges ; the asserter and supporter of man’s capacity for self government; the enemy of all dis- tinctions in society, other than such as have their origin in public ond private virtue, and the untiring and ardent advocate of tho government of the people and the erlightenment of the people. The hater of the tyranny andthe tyrant,j he is justly to be esteem- ed as amongst the foremost of the pioneers in the work of political reform ushered in by the American Re- volution ; I claim to be his political disciple, and in all things Leretofore to have contormed'to his precepts. His example is now before me in the administration of the af- fairs of this great confederacy, and I shall strive to profit by it—(cheers.) So faras I have followed it in the midst of greater abuse and more trying difficulties than have ever fallen to the lot of any of my predecessors, amid the thunders of the denunciations which may still be in store for me, I shall persevere tothe end—(great cheering.) Forthe polite terms in which your invitation is couched Itender you my thanks, along with jmy best wishes for your health and happiness. “JOHN TYLER” “To Robert H. Morris and Campbell P.

(A laugh—“ You have given that already When the ontlemen come to hear the toast,they will ray it is regu- ar—regular even in the acceptation of old Tammany. 1 offer no further remarks in introducing this sentiment. ‘Those who know me ore well aware that ifI could speak volumes, those volumes would be condensed into this sentiment—and they know that that sentiment thus con. densed is the essence of truth.

Tromas O'Conxon, Esq., one of the Vice Presidents, then gave— “ Rational liberty, an indigenous plant growing but on American soil.” (Drank with great applause.) C.P.

Both have been equally distinguished by their oppecition to the enemies of truth and liberty and equal rights.— Jefferson and Van Buren—the father and the son—the Elijah and the Flishe (with all reverence he would say ¥') of the democracy. What a leader and what a follower! It is enongh to say, one is worthy of theother. From his early boyhood Mr. Van Buren has promulgated and en? forced the principles of the illustrious Jefterson.

Amores these toasts, the health of Governor Dorr was given. The health of Martin Van Buren was again proposed, and drank with thunders of applause. y A. J. Benoen— “The Hon.

I belong to that class who believe that no man has right to ask to be nominated as Mayor more than twice, and that if any one should by word, look or action intimate a desire to that effect, he would prove himeelf recreant to all the principles that as ademocrat he should sustain. (Cheers.) Gentlemen, I did not ask to be nominated ; but I tell you with perfect candor and frankness 1 desired it. (Cheers.) I did not ask to be nominated, because the democratic party have 80 many men to whom they are indebted, that one who has been already paid one hundred fold more then he ever deserved had no right—no shadow of pretence to ask for are-nomination. (Cries of no! no! andcheers,) But, gentlemen, the simple truth is thi wished to be nomi- nated again, because I had been abused—because I had been abused for the honest performance of what I believed to be my duty. (Great applause.) I had been abused because I would not assume the power of setting aside the judgment of the inspectors of election. I speak not now of the abuse hurled against me for ‘snatching the papers," because the verdict of the people two years ago settled that—(Cheers.)—and by-gones are by-gones. I was satisfied with that verdict. But! was abused, because last spring I decided, as Mayor, that I hud no right to set aside the judgment of the Inspectors of election. I con- sidered that as the ministerial officer, 1 could merely carry out the certificate brought me, and that it would have been as monstrous for me to have decided that the man who had that certificate was not elected, as that the man was elected who had not the certificate of the inspectors.— (Cheers.) However. gentlemen, my legal opinion as well as my political opinion—for my politics is that no man can assume to set aside the judgment of the individuals who are appointed to decide,—was, that I could not swear these men in, although I believed that they had the legal plurality of votes. As a man,I believed that—bnt as a magistrate I had no evidence ofit. (Great cheers.) T could not swear them in because! knew there was a tribunal constituted expressly to try that question, and that was the Baard of Aldermen. They could have organized the very day after that, oa which I refused to swear in Alder- man Crolins, and could, after examining the whole evi- dence in the case, have arrived at the same conc}usion as that adopted by the Supreme Court and the Court for the Correction of Errors. And with perfect submission to the wisdom of these tribuna's I assert that the Board of Aldermen was a more legal and more constitu- tional body forthe decision of that question than they who decided it. (Great cheering.) Having had the judgment of the Supreme Court against me, and also that ofthe Court of Errors—having heard the charges rung against me trom Wall street to the uttermost bounds ofthe Union, in papers which we do not exactly respect, (laughter and cheers) although they may heve some in- fluence in certain quarters—I really wanted to know what my brother democrats thought upon that subject. I wished to have a verdict of the people on that question, and it was that, and that only, which induced me to ish—not to ask—to be permitted to pass for what I con- ceived to be the strict correct ratic principle of ro- tation in office. (Great apy -) You were kind enough to anticipate my wishes, and { recognize in yeur conduct en this instance another exhibition of that lead. ing doctrine of the democratic faith, that no man of “the rty” is wrongfully to be abused and trampled on 'y the calumny and yells of the opponent. (Loud and enthusiastic applause.) Gentlemen, I i down without for a moment calling your attention to the remarkable vind cation of the honesty and purity of the democratic creed and practice, which this very case has afforded. Onthe bench of the Supreme Coart there at present sit, Ghief Justice Nelson, Judge Bronson, and Judge Cowen—all thorough, consistent, whiform demo- crats—aud prond am 1 to add—all friends of Robert H. Morris. Yet with all their political and personal predi- lections these men decided against their party and their personal friend! (Cheers.) Resting solely in the con- victions of their own honest judgment—throwing aside entirely the consideration of the consequences toa per- sonal friend—disregarding what would seem to be their political interest, they unanimonsly came to the conclu- sion thatthe personal friend was wrong, and that the party interest should be disregarded. (Great cheering ) ‘There, gentlemen, is an evidence of the integrity of mocratic principle. Cheers.) There, in that decision of a democratic court, on a party question, read the purity of your faith—the unbending rectitude of its most intelligent adherents! (Renewed cheering.) I ask you now, ye lawyers, turn to your books, consult th Johnsons, your reports and your adjudged sions of your Court of Errors when a Verp Senator, and lay your finger, if you can, on any one soli- tary case where federalists or whigs ever so disregarded party feeling and political brotherhood. (Tremendous cheering.) But, gentlemen, there is a higher plume in the integrity of democracy. ' I appeal, and proud am Ito be able to appeal, to the Court for the Correction of Er- At the time to which I refer! had around me many of those who now surround this festive board; although I had not then perhaps the 6000 majority, yet Thad, as I well knew, a majonty of the citizens of our city and county. They—I mean the rank and file—(cheers) believed, 981 jeve they still do, that my determination was correct, and I would have been a recreant to my princi: ples had I acted otherwise. But here we come to the highest feather in the plume of democracy. In the Court of Errors there was a decided mocratic majority—men who were friends—I this proudly say it, of Bob Morris. eet cheers.) And y: thongh they well knew what a blow it would be to him, after hearing an elaborate argument,they unanimously decided that the party and the personal friend were wrong. [Cheera.) Now goto the records of your Court of Errors, and point ont to me if you can, one solitary case in which a whig majority of that court ever decided unanimously, except in favor of their party. [Terrific cheering.] “And further, so long as there is 26000 majori- ty for us in New York, the legality of that decision shall never be tested. [Cheers. “ Protested,” cried some one near the chair] No, said his honor the Mayor, no, tested, tried. But you may rely upon it, that if the result of the election had depended on one ward, the ballot boxes would have been smashed, od the whiga would have triumphantly appealed to the decision of the Court for the Correction of errors. (Cheers.) And, gen- tlemen, if that day should ever arrive, the Legislature must by an act destroy the decision of that court. (Great cheers.) This has, however, been all settled for the pres- ent, and 9 happier man than myself does not breathe. If he does—(A Vorcr—“We would like to see him!) No, ‘ontlemen, we would not, we could not sve him, for like 6 Prophet of eld, he would be transleted—he would be too for earth ! ghter and tremendous applause, amid which his Honor resumed his seat.) His Honor the Mayor then retired, and the chair was talcen by one of the Vice-Presidenta.

(Correspondence of the Herald.] ie Wasuineton, April 12, 1843. Opinion of the Court Martial and Decision of the Erxecutwe in Capt. McKenzie’s Case. _{ see that the papers, particularly those of your city, are indulging in statements of what has trans- pired here in relation to McKenzie’s case, and, of course, the usual exaggerations and perversions ap- pear. Ihave no other means of information on the subject than such as are possessed by well informed persons generally in this city, and as your paper has pursued the most dignified and impartial attitude of any, I have supposed you would not be unwilling to hear what is said and understood here by such per- sons. You are probably aware, that by the rules and re. gulations of the navy, ail sentences of Courts Mar- tial, which shall extend to the loss of life, require the concurrence of two-thirds of the members. As the Court convened for the trial of McKenzie con- sisted of twelve members (Capt. Smith, hay been excused in consequence of sickness)it require: a vote of 8to4to convict him, so that the strange anomaly was produced, that a minority of 5 against ‘7 caused an acquittal, instead of the discharge of the Court on account ef their disagreement, as would be the result in a criminal trial before a jury, when another trial must be had. Now the understanding here is, derived chiefly from letters from New York that the Court actually stood 7 for convicting to 5 for acquitting. And in this state of things the find- ing ot the Court has been very peculiar, as it is published in the Intelligencer. Instead of saying, as 1s usual, that McKenzie is “ not guilty” of the dif- ferent specifications, they say the specifications are “* not proven.” Whether this mode of expression has been adopted to satisfy the tender consciences of any members, who could not be brought to say McKenzie was not guilty, probably can never be determined. Iaving found the specifications ‘ not proven” they of course find him not guilty of the charge embracing those specifications. . If Commander McKenzie can find consolation ina technical acquittal, when seven of his brother officers, under the awful circumstances of the case, have pronounced their opinion that he has been guilty of the murder of three unarmed (ete he 1s certainly entitled to the full benefit of it. 1t_is the prevailing opiate here, however, that McKenzie can never be employed in the public service; that'while he will be shunned by his bro- ther officers, no seaman will ever serve under him. And whether he is to remain a pensioner on the government, remains to be seen. It is currently stated, that the language of the President in disposing ot the finding of the Court is unusual ; that instead of “approving,” he has con- firmed the proceedings. In the discussions which I have heard, this language is attributed to the pecu- liar views entertained by some, that in a capital case stich as this, the duty ot the President is like that of a Judge on a criminal trial, merely to de- clare the jadzment of the law upon the finding of the jury. Others maintain that courts martial are different from any other courts; that the officer ap- pointing the court and its members are integral parts 6f the whole, inasmuch as no finding is valid until approved orconfirmed by that efficer, and that no- thing is more common than to send back to the court its proceedings forrevision. In several memo. rable cases, this is known to have been.done; whe- ther the present, being a capital case, varies the prin- ciple, is more than I can say. : 5 : The rumors, youmay hear about discussions in the Cabinet on this case, must be untrue, asno one can possibly be acquainted with them. At all eyents, it is known, that Mr. Spencer has absented himself from the two last cabinet meetings, and the aause is, of couse, understood. But while the dis- cussions of the cabinet are unknown, the members individually have net been able to keep those with whom they associate, wholly from a knowledge of their feelings and opinions ; and itis very generally understood, (at with perhaps one exception, their sentiments are in unison with those of the great mass of the country, and any thing but favorable to McKenzie’s courage, discretion, humanity, or his sense of justice.
