NEW YORK HERALD. Seeeresay ae ee ————— hiy Important from Washington—Move~ aie of the Administration during the Approaching Congress. We have received some intelligence from pri- vate correspondents at Washington of rather an interesting character, relative to some important movements which are contemplated by the present administration, growing out of the recent elec- tions throughout the country, and the verdict of the people on the questions at issue before them. The President has been at Washington for some time past, and we understand that on Saturday last, Mr. Calhoun, the Secretary of State, returned to his post. A grand movement is now contemplated by the President and Mr. Calhoun, which will be first broken in the next message to Congress, and which those gentlemen in connexion with the other members of the administration, are now ma- turing in all its most important points. This move- ment may be regarded as a Tyler Calhoun move- ment, embracing a plan for the organization of the democratic party in Congress, during the next ses- sion, on those principles which have received the approbation of the people at the recent elections; and also looking forward to the accession of Mr. Polk, and the creation of a set of influences, and a peculiarity of position, to which he willbe under the necessity of submitting during his Presidency! In furtherance of those viéws we Jearn that the President and Secretary of State consider the election of Mr. Polk anddefeat of Mr. Clay asa direct approval by the people of the United States of all the measures, both domestic and foreign, with which they may be identified during their possession of power. In particular, Mr. Tyler be- lieves that to him and his friends, in a great mea- sure, Mr. Polk 1s indebted for his election. Ac- cordingly, the receat treaty for the annexation of Texas, rejected by the Senate—the treaty of com- merce with the Zull-Verein, also rejected by. the Senate, are considered to have been approved by the decision of the pecple in this election, and they will be renewed at the next session of Congress, and pluced betore the Senate in some shape or other. Indeed, in relation to Texas, it may be a question whether the whole subject will not be brought up again and placed at once before both Houses of Con- grees. It isthe purpose of the administration to remo- del all the commercial negotiations with foreign na- tions, particularly with all those in Europe or other partsof the world that may be rivals with England, The Zoll-Verein treaty, therefore, is merely the be- ginning of a series of negotiations found- ed on the same principles which will embrace the whole commercial world, with the exception of England, with whom it is supposed no treaty can be formed. Inthe event of any collision taking place with England growing out of the annexation of Texas, or taking possession of the Oregon ter- ritory, it is believed by Mr. Calhoun that the break- ing up of the cotton trade of the Sonth with England, which might be injured thereby in the estimation of some, would still be placed in nearly a similar position in connection with the manuiac- turers of the East, provided we had treaties with all other commercial countries, and thereby could take the position of England in relation to the cot- ton trade of the world. Another subject of great importance will also be before the cabinet, and that is, what is to be done or said about the tariff in the next message? And also on other questions, what will be said? We have every reason to believe that a new plan for the modification of the tariff will be proposed on 6>:newhat similar principle, to those of Mr. Clay’s famous ‘ Compromise Bill.” It may perhaps be proposed that a uniform duty of 17$ or 20per cent may be laidon all foreign commodities, to come into operation in six months or a year, in the place of the presént tariff, and it is suyposed that a tariff of this description would be sufficient to meet all the expenditures of the government, pay the pre- sent public debt, and be sufficiently protective to American manufactures. The present debt is about twenty-five millions, The surplus revenue now in the banks, growing out of the present tariff, is about eleven or twelve millions—nearly one half of the debt. The whole of the debt is not due for fourteen years. If, therefore, a surplus revenue amounting to only two millions a year to meet these payments accrued, from a reduced tariff, it would be quite sufficient to meet all the purpo- ses of the debt, and meet also the expenditures of the government. There is another important point that will also be brought before Congress, and that is a complete re- form of the financial system of the government. Itis well known that on the subject of finance and currency, Mr. Calhoun entertains peculiar views, gome very important, and others not so much so. We should not, therefore, be at all surprised to see the recent “fiscal agent” proposed by the Pre- sident, brought forward with some important mo- difications, and some financial system founded on principles of the soundest political science, and calculated to keep the present banking system in check, to as great an extent and more safely than it could be done by a National Bank. What this plan may be, we have not heard, and cannot divine, but we have no doubt something of the kind will be proposed. Other reforms will be proposed at the opening of Congress, probably amongst them a reduction of the ost Office rates—a reform and modification of the naval system—and the introduction of steam Jines to Europe in the manner attempted by France and England. The most important movements of the administration, however, will be developed on the opening of the next session of Congress, and will undoubtedly have reference to a revival of the ne- gotiations for the annexation of Texas, and an ef- fort to modify the tariff and bring down the duties to 17, 20, or 22per cent. In the House of Repre- sentatives Mr. Calhoun will, without doubt re-orga- nize the democratic party on the principles decided upon by the people in the recent election, and so will form and shape every thing, as almost to com- pel Mr. Polk, when he reaches the White House, on the 4th of March next, to assume all the ground that they have prepared for him, with the addi- tional assumption of Mr. Calhoun in the Cabinet itself. If this should be the ease, the ascendancy of the South Carolina statesman, with all his views, willbe placed beyond the possibility of a doubt in the coming administration; and we do not see by what means, or in what way, Mr. Van Buren and his friends can prevent the success of the South Carolina policy. Ii is objected, in some quarters, that the ascendancy of Mr. Calhoun would lead to the destruction of the manufacturing interests—to foreiga war—and to a variety of other disastrous consequences. We do not see such results grow- ing out of that ascendancy. Mr. Calhoun, placed in a minority and struggling for power, is a very different being from Mr. Calhoun placed at the head of the government of a great nation, and looking abroad upon the whole world as his appro- priate field of action. We have no doubt his policy and his views will swell out into a comprehensive- ness that will astonish many of those who are in- capable of appreciating his magnificent mind; and we should not be at all surprised if, in the course of events, he were to, following out the system of ne- gotiating commercial treaties with all the world, on the plan the Zoll-Verien treaty, and in connection with the acquisition of Texas and the Oregon, to put England into such a position as to lead to a sudden and overwhelming outbreak or revolution in that kingdom. In the process of maturing the events necessary to produce such a contingency, the manufacturers of the East will not be injured, but will be benefitted, by having created for them a wider market for their products, and the chances of ob- taining the whole cotton trade of the world. Only look at the necessary result of an interruption of the commercial intercourse between this coun- try and Great Britain. The intetdiction of exports ef cotton from the United States to England would, of necessity, leadin a brief period to a tevo- lution in the manufacturing districts of Great Britain—the utter prostration of her trade, and the ultimate overthrow of the empire, whilst to the magufacturing intereste of this country it would give the position now occupied by England, with Tespect to the cotton trade of the world. From the intormation we receive from Wash- ington, and from the character of Mr. Calhoun’s great mind, we are disposed to think that the open- ing Message of the President will be one of the most important documents of that kind that have emanated from any administration since the foundation of this government, and that the move- ments of the next Congress will lay the foundation ot a new order of things, formed by the mind of Mr. Calhoun, of such an overwhelmingly important character as will give an impulse to, and exercise a control over, the whole of Mr. Polk’s administra- tion, which he cannot resist or prevent. We have much more information from Washington of the same character, which we will communicate at our leisure. Granp Procession or tHe “ Natives.”—-Yes- terday, the grand procession of the natives in cele- bration of the recent astounding victory, passed through Nassau street, in honor of the Committee who occupy a room somewhere in that street. It was one of the most sublimely pathetic affairs we have ever seen. It numbered about fifty men and boys, and nine jaded horses. First came an enor- tous wagon, labelled *‘ American Watchmen— Americans must ‘end shall rute?* containing five old men, shaking with the cold and ague, and hud- died together under an antique umbrella. Next came a score or so of dripping men and boys, each waving a pocket handkerchief edition of the American flag. Then there was on empty cart, labelled ‘* American coopers”--a doctor’s wagon, drawn by an ill-fed horse—two or three men on horseback looking very uncomfortable and very sheepish—and about a dozen boys. We did not see any of the “ real Indians” ansiounced to have arrived in the city for the purpose of joining the ‘‘grand procession ;” they probably could not be spared from the museums. Altogether, it was the west burlesque of a procession we have seen. Censorsuir oF THE Parss.—Now is the time of resolutions and restorations—the renunciation of everything that isnew, and the revival of every- thing that is old. Who could have supposed that in this free country, and in this enlightened day, an attempt would be made to establish a censor- chip of the press? Yet it has beendone. The other evening, at a ‘‘native” meeting in the Kighth Ward, resolutions were passed forbidding every one, under the pain of certain displeasure from a certain quarter, to name any candidate for the Presidency in 1848, or to agitate that question at all. This movement has also been approved and commented on in the two “native” papers here, and therefore it is now perfectly settled that no one in this country is permitted to talk about General Scott or Commodore Stewart, or any other fit candidate for the Presidency in 1848, until the censorship be taken off, which will, it is said, be done in three years or thereabouts! Jon Hasxern mv Pioxix!—We understand that Job Haskell, one of the fathers, great-grandfathers and founders of the “native ” party in this city, las been formally expelled from that association in the Tenth Ward the other evening, amidst nine cheers of those who brought forward the measure. Job isa “ native, born,” we believe, but he is now declared to have forfeited his birthright because he had the audacity to think for himself, and vote for ‘he democratic candidate. He is now declared to be a “foreigner”—-an “unborn, unnaturalized alien,” quite unfit to be considered ona pareven with any drunken old Indian about thestreets. We sympethize very much for poor Job, who is now in as sad a condition as his venerable namesake of the land of Uz. Crry or PuiiapeupHia.—We are very glad to perceive that ata public meeting in Philadelphia, sacasures have been taken to unite the whole of the faubourgs, or “ liberties,” as they are called, of that city, under one municipal government. It seems that the whigs, who have the power in the “city proper,” oppose this, but as the Legislature is democratic, there can be little doubt that the mea- sure—so necessary and proper—will be carried into effect. Nothing else can secure peace and prospe- rity to the city. Had we in New York not possessed aunited municipal’government, we would in all pro- bility, have been also disgraced with riot and con- flagration during recent periods ef excitement. Lats rnom Brazu..—By the arrival of the fast sailing schooner Erie, from Para, we have intelli- gence to 18th Oct. Capt. Mathews states that the elections for the National Assembly, has recently occurred through the Empire ; and that considerable excitement ex- isted, generally throughout the Northern Provinces. The contest was a very close and energetic one, between the Imperiatista, and the opposition party, known by the name of Liberals, i. e. Democrats. There was one or two instances in which they came to blows, and so extensive became these con- flicts, that the authorities found it necessary to resort to force, in order to reduce the violence and restore tranquality. It was reported ‘also in Para, that there had been some yet more serious disturbances in Cera, (a neighboring province.) In the course of the riots and fights, report eaye, that several were killed aud wounded by shots fired hy the government troops, and by the rioters. Nothing new, of importance, from the Southern Provinces—no important change in the commer- cial affairs. Freight rather fair, both to Europe and the United States. . Tur New Packer Sup Sxippy.—The John R. Skiddy, the new packet, of about 1100 tons bur- then, was yesterday raised upon the Sectional Floating Dock in the presence of Commodore Kearney, Capt. Wyman, Col. Talcott, and W.P. %. Sanger, Commissioner, appointed by the Navy Department to examine this dock with reference to its location, at the Portsmouth and Pensacola Navy Yards. The ship was raised in the most satis- factory manner to the owners, and as the ship re- quires no repairs, she will be let off from the dock to-day at 11 o’clock. The Commissioners have already made the ne- cessary examination at the Portsmouth yard, and will proceed from this city to Pensacola, and re- port the reeult of their examinations to the next session of Congress. The Skiddy is one of the finest ships;now in port, and if she acquired asgood a reputation as was en- joyed by Captain Skiddy, after whom she is named, all parties will be perfectly satisfied. Tue Great Foor Rack on Monpay Next.—As the ume approaches for this great piece of pedes- trianism to come off, the interest therein increases, particularly within the last few days, since the entry of the two Indians from Buffalo belonging to the Seneca tribe. Those who pretend to know a thing or two on this matter, say that the result will now go very different from what has been generally expected. It is much regretted that Major H. Stannard (who is now in this city) is not entered for either race; it would then have made the matter complete, the best pedestrians of both the old and new country coming once more into competition against each other. It is certain to be one of the greatest contests of the sort that has ever taken place in this or any other country. The betting just now is the field against any one, but few or no takers; 100 to 76, two, Gildersleve and Barlow, against the field ; 50 to 100 on Gilder- sleve against the field; ditto on Barlow, the latter fot taken to any extent ; 30 to 100 on the Indian; even that the ten miles is not performed within 55 minutes—taken, Blection Retarns. Marng.—This State is Polk and Dallas through- out: ‘Their majority will be about 5,000, Vermont.—We shall receive {ull retnras to-day. Tt has gone whig, of course. Inotawa.—The “Hoosier” State 1s aw tful asever. Sixty-nine counties show a whig of only about 100. If their gain through the State is on the same ratio, there will be a majority for Polk of about 1,500. Tennessge.—Five counties have been heard from. They give Polk a gain of 560 compared with the vote of 1843, when he lost the State by 8,833. There are seventy-three counties in all, and the above rate of increase through the State, would give Polk a magnificent majority. If, how- ever, he carries the State by a small majority, he will do well. Georcia.—Nothing new. There is now no doubt of this State. See Electoral Table. Presidential Election, Whole number of electoral News From THe River or Pirate, via Rio Ja- nerro,—We have received the following intelli- gence from the Plate River, by the way of Rio Janeiro, to the Bist of August, by a private letter— I expect that I shall very soon have the pleasure of announcing to you the total cessation of hostil- ties between Buenos Ayres and Montevideo. The latter place is not ina condition to hold out much longer against the combined forces of the Argen- tines and Orientals, which together amount to ten thousand well-disciplined men, commanded by Gen. Oribe, whose merits and rights as the lawiul Governor of that State, are almost universally ap- preciated and acknowledged. Every arrival brings us fresh intelligence of the deplorable state of the defenders of the place, who are reduced to such a point, that even their commander, General Paz, has been obliged to abandon them, and take refuge here. This circumstance has given rise to rumors of a war between this country and Buenos Ayres ; but I have had an opportunity of informing myself correctly in the matter, and can assure you that Brazil will be very cautious about entering into a war, which would not only be unpopular, but would occasion great confusion in the empire, whose popu- lation is, in general, inclined to republicanism, as is shown by the long war in Rio Grande, ana the other States availing themselves of the upper- tunity which it offered, to throw themselves into a ‘state of revolution. The conduct of General Rosas, commander of the Argentine Confederation is truly surprising.— This remarkable man, has, during his admunistra- tion, sustained controversies and quelled tumults, which might have proved ruinous to much older and more powerful States. At the same time that he was blockaded by the French, he carried on a war against Santa Cruz, suppressed the anarchy and civil war with which Rivera and Lavalle agi- tated the Provinces of the confederation, and, de- prived, by the blockade, of pecuniary assistance, left without any resources but his firmnese, great talents, and overwhelming popularity, was victori- ous over Santa Cruz, concluded an honorable trea- ty with France, and re-established peace and tran- quillity throughout the gerpentine territory—a. peace which has been sealed by the death of La- valle and the total discomfiture of Rivera, that unprincipled man, who, not content with being the sole cause of the evils which now afflict his coun- try, is wantonly sacking and burning its cities. — General Rosas ie charged by some with severity, but those who make this cherge do not take into consideration the critical situation of his country, which was at once the field of the machinations and revolutions of the Unitarians and of foreign- ers. We who are near the scene of these events, and can forma correct judgment upon them, are firmly convinced tha nothing but the energy, cha- racer and inflexible justice ot General Rosascould have saved the count So late as yesterday I re. ceived a letter from Buenos Ayres, in which | am told that affairs are resuming their natural course, and that the population is increasing very rapidly ; those same foreigners who had taken up arms against the confederation, returning to the coun- try, and being well received. There is, conse- quently, every reason to believe that if the coun- try has the good fortune to preserve the same go- vernment, and the partisans of Rivera disappear from Montevideo, as the Unitarians have from the Argentine Confederation, those countries will be- come the most prosperous and delightful of any in South America. Small Potatoes: Mr. Eprror :—1 am very much amused with the reports you frequently xe of the proceedings of a Sighs respectable club of old ladies, who call themselves the ‘Farmers’ Club of the American Institute.” 1 donot think that I ever read the lu- cubrations of “Panch” or the Paris Charivari, with greater relish; and I am ly of opinion that even the Sunday papers are not so amusing ag the solemn twaddle Ph forth by these respecta- ble personages who call themselves philosophical agriculturists, and who can discourse for hours on the subject of “small potatoes” without ae any conclusion whatever about the matter. The last question which occupied the attention of these philosophers, was the disease of the potato, and certainly if chey did not display great medical skill in the discussion, they discovered their pertect fa- nly, with humbug and balderdash. [f, in- stead of discussing the disease of the potato, these gentlemen would give us an account o} the ie and expenditures of the recent Fair —and the contemptible humbug exercised towards Ole Bull and other artists, I do think that they would be entitled to claim an extraordinary quantity of the highest philosophical information on the natural history of the ‘ amall potato.” ° lam, Mr. Editor, yours, &c. Sautrerre. Jams Gorpon Bexnett— x _ Dar Str—You are fond of getting hold of news in advance of your cotemporarics, and I will let you into asecret. Since the late election, certain individuals have been industriously employed in sounding the community as to their sentiments in relation to the inequality of our present represen- tation—the Northern, or free States having but one representative out of 10,000 votes, the South- ern one for every 6000. They are_ able, and will make a mighty rally on this question. You are a bold and fearless man, and could introduce the subject to your readers in its proper light. Give us your sentiments on this subject, and you will oblige one of your subscribers and a constant rea- der of your valuable paper. Itwill,I am afraid, raise a strong feeling at the south; ‘but they can- Not or ought not to object to an examination and revision of the constitution, U. 8. District Court. Before Juege Betti Nov. 13.— The United States vs. Wiliiam Fletcher. —This was an action to recover a penalty of gee gree by an act of Congress. The act provides that the Inspector of the Customs who has cl of a vessel, shall secure the hatches and other aventies to the hold of the vessel, when he leaves it, and that if the fasteniags shall be removed by any mn between sunset and sunrise, or out of the presence of the Inepector of the Customs, “the master, or other person in command of such ship or vessel, shall for- feit for every offence $500.” It a) red in evi that the defendant was mate of the ship Independence, Captain Nye, on the 27th of February last, and on that oy Francis Perkins, the Inspector in charge of her, found that the fastenings hed been removed from the door of the store- room, and on questioning Fiktcher, be admitted thet he had removed them. He had done so to remove jal which was under his charge, re-room, which was taken in pector, and sent to the public terpored store.

Pee ’ Lost Ovgrnoarp.—A young man named Con- nolley, about 20 years of age, fell overboard from the ship Yazoo, on the passage hence for New Or- leans. On the fact being known, the ship was brought to, and all efforts*made to save him, but to no purpose. We understand he has a sister living in Brooklyn, _ ‘Tiwmataioat.—Mr. Anvrnson.~It is very rare, 2 a, ‘a cessity exists in 7 ical criticism. But the performance of Mr. Anderson, in the play of the ‘ Lady of Lyons,” at the Park, does call fore few,words of ‘no After having tare exami ir. Andei pared them with thoee of Macready and ‘ we are decidedly of opinion that, in many of the most essential qualifications of his art, he is tar su- perior to either of the gentlemen whom we have named. In correct and delicate perception of the text—in his close and minute study of hy ang correct and cultivated taste~in energy, 5 aud genius, Mr. Anderson discovered himself, throughout the whole performance on Tuesday night, to be vastly superior to any dramatic artist that we have seen for many years. Mr. Forrest’s success in this country hes been owing, in a very great degree, to his physical advan- tages, His remarkably athletic orm—his stentorian voiee—his theatrical cant—have been the great elements in the acquirement of his popularity. On the other hand, Macready, who lacks these means of winning the applause of the crowd, has greater taste and mere art than Forrest. But he is without soul—cold and passionless as a block of marble.— Mr. Anderson has quite enough of the physical powers of Forrest, with a taste and power of intel- tectual conception, transcending even those of Macready ; whilst in point of natural genius, soul, and enthusiasm, he is far, far beyond either. We have not the slightest hesitation in declaring our opinion that Mr. Anderson is destined to create as great a furor and excitement in the theatrical world, both here and in Europe, as Keane ever did. He is yet a young man’; but with diligent and careful study, and a proper cultivation of his fine talents, he is certain of attaining the highest rank in his profession. ‘We were also very agreeably impressed by Miss Clara Ellis, on the same occasion. She played the part of Pauline with remarkable epirit and truth.— She evidently possesses abilities of the highest order, and is vastly superior to Miss Clifton, who is deficient in natural genius and soul. Miss Ellis also appears to possess a much more refined taste, and keener perception, than Miss Cushman, who ig, however, very good in what may be called the “* rowdy line” of the drama. Mr. Chippendale sustained his part with charac- teristic propriety and good taste. He isa man of fine talent, and in a varied range of characters, 18 without a rival in this country. Of the othercharacters, the less said the better— they were abominable. And the abominations of the other performers at the Park, are to be attri- buted entirely to the mean, insolent, and stupid management of that theatre. Those managers ap- pear to be all the time dozingaway—occupied with dreamy recollections of something that they call “Old Drury”—some traditionary remembrances which are quite enough, they think, for them, and ought to satisfy the public. With a good manage- ment, and a stock company worthy of sustaining such performers as Anderson, Miss Ellie, and Mr. Chippendale, the Fark would be one of the most flourishing theatres in the world, ’ Theatricals, &c. The second Concert of the great Norwegian, Ole Bull, is postponed to Tuesday evening next, the 10th. This great artiste is announced to give another concert this evening at New Bedford. Mr. Henry Phillips, the premier in English song, gave his last concert in Boston on Tuesday evening. The papers say it will be many a long day ere the like be pre- sented toa Bostonaudience. Let this be remembered.— He is about to proceed to Philadelphia, where, in com- pliance with the wishes ofhis friends and the musicaj public, hehas cons€nted to reduce the price of histickets to 50 cents. This he has tried at Boston, and the conse- quence has been, the attendance of thousands. He gives two concerts in that city on the3d and 6th of December next, at the above price of admission, which will afford an opportunity to all, of hearing this gentleman before the Baverian Embassy recalls him to England. The Misses Sloman gave their farewell concert at the Melodeon theatre, Boston, last evening. Mr. and Mrs. Hunt term’nated their engagement at Al- bany Museum on Tuesday evening. The‘ Plantation Minstrels,” are giving Concerts at the Avon Theatre. They are said to be very accomplish. ed in thelr way, and very diverting.

Miss Clarendon appeared at the Arch street theatre, Philadelphia, on Tuesday{evening, as Pauline, in the Lady of Lyons. This lady made several decided hits in Pitts- burg didn’t she Mr. Simpson? The first chamber” Concert of the Harvard Musical Associatioa of Boston, took place at Chickering’s rooms last evening. The managers of Washington Hall, Boston, have en. gaged the celebrated German Magician, Mr. Carnes formerly a pupilof the great Potter, under the name of the boy Basillio; Ramo Samee, the fire king, juggler, ballancer, and modern Samson, who ballances swords, and lifts weights of 1000 pounds weight, eats hot lead and red hot coals of fire; and also, Siguor Basilio, the great violin player from Norway, said to be almost equal to Ole Buf, the great Kentucky Whistler, and the India Rubber Man. Mr. Jamison appears not to be in very good odor with the people of Philadelphia. The papers say that his Rich- ard the Third on Saturday night, wes a very vile perform- ance. It wes utterly beneath criticism in every respect. Many persons of taste left the theatre in disgust. Mr. JJa “Stranger,” the night before, was very little better. It was a palpable abortion. It pains us to see an estima- ble young gentleman like Mr. J., injure himself by such jejune efforts. Rockwell & Stone have opened their splendid Circus at Boston in a new building, with a grand double compa- ny. Among the names are Dan Gardner, and Mrs. Gard ner, Mr. and Mrs. Perry, Mr. and Mrs. Gossin, Stone, Franklin, Brown, and others. The Ethiopian Serenaders were honored by a cr wded house at Amory Hall, Boston, on Tuesday evening. This week closes their performances for the season os they leave in a few days for England. The celebrated menagerie of Raymond & Co., arrived in Philadelphia on Monday, and took up its winter quarters at the Philadelphia Circus, Walnut street. The menagerie, on its entrance into the city, made an imposing display.— Herr Driesback, the lion tamer, preceded the caravan on horseback. Then came the wsegon containing the band drawn by four elephants. Nineteen wagons, drawn by white, gray, cream and bay colored horses tothe number of fifty-two. The National Theatre at Washington, was recently sold at auction for $18,950, A celebrated Oratorio ef the‘ Messiah,” was performed last Sabbath evening by the Handel and Haydn Society of Boston, to a full, fashionable, and intelligent audience Mr. Phillips sung several of the solo parts with great power and effect. Mra.

The orchestra, under the lead of Herwig, was in fine tune and spirit. The sublime choruses, for which Handel’s composition are so much celebrated, went off in grand style. &Fimz.—The alarm of fire at 12 o’clock yester- day noon, originated from the burning of some shavings in the back basement of the buildizg oc- cupied by H.

The important questions of constitutional right ; first, as to the powers of the Governor of New York to demand the defendant +s a ‘fugitive from justice” whilst residing in his own State, from the jovernor ; and next as to the jurisdiction of the law tribunals of the State of New York, on a case, wiper | Phage for an offence guessed to have been committed another State, are the c! issucs before the Court. ‘The case, on its merits, as it came up in Chambers be- fore Judge Ulshoeftcr, in July lest, has already fully reported iu the Herald. ir. Morris opened the case, detailing the facts alvoaty vef-rred to. His client had been kidnapped out of hi own State by the harsh exercise of a luw which did not justify his arrest. If such an abuse of power was tobe tolerated, no American citizen would be secure in his per- sonshliberty and personal freedom. ‘The parties in the action hed made this effortto apply ‘ke criminal law to test a question which properly belonged to a Court of civ] jurisdiction. His client had surrendered up his baii, and was brought up under a writ of habeas corpus, first’ for the purpose of testing the jurisdiction of the Court over the subject matter in controversy between the parties, and next as to the ussumed power of the State over the person of the defendant. ile resisted the as- sumed right in both points, and first laid down, es a propo - sition, that the defendant was ac tizen and resident of the St ite cf Ohio at the time of the alleged offence, and owed no allegiance to the State of New York, and, therefore, that he could not violate any law of New York for an alleged offence, committed in his own State, and that New York had no jurisdiction over him.— In support of this position he laid down that a citizen of one State i- notacitizen of snother, but is to be considered ind distinct an alien as regardsihe State of which he is nota resident, except in as {aras the constitutional provisions under the general laws of the United States. are concerned. The fourth article of the constitution of the United States expressly declares that a “citizen of each State shall be entitled to all the privi- leges and immunities of fcitizens in the several States. This clause in the Constitution, he contended, gave no jurisdiction that one State should have power over the ci- tizen of another State; it gave no power to New York over Ohio, and hia clieat was entitled to all the wivileges and immunities of an Ametican citizen until fre came within her borders, snd when Adams was in Ohio he owed no allegiance to the Stste of New York. He was amenable to the laws of Objo for any alleged of- ferice committed therein, but not to New York, to which State he was an alien in law, having committed no of- fence within her borders. He took leave to refer the Court t> Kent’s Commentaries, old edition, page 63, where it is ex;ressly set down:—'During the residence of aliens amongst us they owe a local allegiance.” ‘This was a privilege, and it was only when gull 4 of an illegal act that they were foe) amenable to the laws, and while there may be ps: ats elf-evident.

The Governor of New York claimed Mr. Adams for alleged fraudulent refreacntations made in Ohio, and consequent- ly the Courts of New York had no jurisdiction in the case—that was point—but it wes not vet forth in the rc- quisition that the defendant was a “fugitive from jus- tice.” He not only not committed an offence against this State, but hadnot fd from the Siate of New York. In the 18th page of the Constitution of the United States st was expressly laid down, any person charged in any State with a felony or other crime, who shall fice from jastice, sball be delivered up and be removed to the Sata having jurisdiction over the crime. Gor jon’s Digest of the Laws of the United States—art, 22,207—p 626, declare, ‘' Whenever the Executive au- thority of any State in the Union ehall demand any per~ son being a'fugitive from justice and shall produce an indictment charging the committal of the crime, it shall be the duty, &c.'of the Governor of such Siate to have the party arrested and the prisoner delivered over to the mes- senger,” &c. He would call the attention of the Court to the requisition of Governor Beuck in the present case— The Governor did not demand Mr. Adams a8 a ‘fugitive from eae He merely charges him with having com- mitted un off-nce in the following mann “ And it has been represented.to me that said Adams and Seymour (who is not now before the Court,) charged with commit- ting said offence, may have taken refuge in ycur State.” He contended a man was not to be arrested becaus Executive chose to call him “a fugitive.” It was not a fugitive that could be brought back; and the constitution aid not give the power to thus drag a man from his hume, where. he could betried, end was amenable only to his own laws. The evidence fully showed that the defendant wow no fugitive.
