Surrnion Count, Oct. 18.—Before Chief Justice Oak- ley —-ddetaid~ Ductos: . Charles S. Swift —This was an activa of assump, The declaration contained the common count tor money had and received. ‘The facts of Lue case are briefly these. Tho plaintiff and de: dant happened in the spring of 1844 to meet in B. more, but uoder what circumstances did not ape: At the meeting, it occurred to the defendant thut he Wanted # housekeeper, and he asked the plaintiff if he wouid renc house in New York, would she come to him as housekeeper, and attend to his househoid affairs? She consented. The defendant set out immediately for this erty, tired ® house in Hudson street, from # Mr. Poi 8 for nine months, for $129, and wrote to the plaintiff to come on, without delay. She came, and huving kept house in this city, before she went to Balti- more, had her furniture stord in the Bowery, and cuused it Lo be removed to the house in Hudson street, where they continued to reside from about the Ist of June, 1544, to the middle of November following, when Mr. Switt thought he had kept house long enough, and gave Che plainuil to understand that he had no further Occasion for her services, A negotiation was then en- tered into between the parties through the medium of some frivude, which terminated in an agreement that detendant should give pluintiff $150, pay up all rent to the time sie sheulu leave the house, and give up the key to the lsndiord, which was to be twenty days from the Gate of the agreement, and that she should release the defeud»nt from all demands sue then bad against him, and give him a receipt in foll. The plaintitf, however, dia nut lewve the house at theend of the twenty days, but kept posswesion up to the Ist of May, 1845. In Maren, 1549, vir. Phillipe, the landlord, issued a distress warremt fur the quarter's rent due in May, the rent being payavle in advance, and the balance of 'a former quarcer, amounting, in all, to about $80, and levied oa Ler furniture, which’ amount she had to pay, aud to recover which, with interest, she now briags her action. The defeudint pane accord and satie- faction, under which plea he gave in evidence the receipt in fall, and the release; the first dated the 2st and the other the 22d of November. The release was drawn up in the form of au affidavit, and was sworn to Mra Duclos. It stated that she released him from allclaims and demands, which she then, or b-fore, ever h6i against him; that she never would thereafter eny claim against him, or give him any annoyance, or ever recognise him more than a stranger; and that ahe gave bim vp ail bis clothes, &c. The plaintiff's counsel Objseted to the release, on the ground that it was drawn up #8 an affidavit; no consideration being expressed, and ic not being under seal, he contended that it was void. Th» defendact’s counsel then insisted that the receipt jo full waa suffleient to bar t plainiiff's right of action; at all events, both instruments were ox. eouled at the 6 Ume, and were one and the rame transaction; ia that view, the $150 mentioned in the receipt, was the consideration for the release, Toe plainul’s counsel again objected that on the face of the papers, that they were separate tran- suctions, they haviog bewn dated on different days, and therefore that the $150 mentioned in the reevipt could not be deemed the consideration for the rel ond in regard to the receipt itself, the cause of action having acerued subs nenily to the time it bore date, it could not bar the plaintiff's claim. An altercation then took place between the couusel on both sides in regard to the testimony of the witness, (he having left court.) who proved the execution ot the release and receipt, the platatiff's counsel insisting that he swore they were not executed at the same time, and the defendant's counsel jusisiiog taat ho swore they were, The question was atter a long discussion, left to the recollection of the jury. Tho Onief Justice, in charging the juby, said there were two defences set up; the first was a Teluase, and the second that the contract between the parties was immoral from the beginning. — lo regurd to the first defence he said, that if they be- lieved the receipt and release were eeparate transactions, signed at different times, the defeudant could not, upon that braveh of his defence, defeat the plaintifi’s claim, Devatiwe the sum mentioned {n the receipt would not he # legal consideration for the release; and the release it- Beit was not woul her right tad accrued after the receipt was given; but if they believed bob papers were executed together. they formed one aud th» same transaction, and the $150 was a good consideration for the release, and ja that aspect the defendant would be entitled to their verdict. In re- gard Lo the other defenoe, if they believed the contract was encered into in Battimore for an iaimoral purpose, it | was ‘ilegal—neither party to an immoral contract can com into @ court of justice and recover under such a con- tract from the other party, the law not reoognizing such coutracts—but on this point there was no direct ev: dene» only evidengo they had was what trans- Pired on the negotiation for the release, and if they were | sutictied frm that testimony that the contract was in- ciptently unmoral and entered into for the purpose ot | carrying Ou an illicit intercourse, then th ht to find for ta defendant upon this branchof the defence, Tuvjary fou erdict for the defendant, For pleat, Mr D, Evans; for defendant, Messrs, otaud Mareh, ¢ was only one other small case tried, in which snuff wus non- suited.

Mr. Wright's sanction of the Wilmot proviso was evidently indicted under an erroneous impression of the character of that measure. His good nature was im- posed upon by the factionists of the old Van Buren par- ty, for the purpose of procuring bis endorsement of a Principle, of which, during his whole public career, he had been @ uniform opponent. Mr. Wright never was an abolitionist, and some of his truest and most in- timate friends still believe him to have been Opposed to the doctrines of the Wilmot proviso. There is a most essential difference between that doctrine as it really is, and Mr. Wright's understanding of it, as set forth in his letter of April 15, 1847, In that letter he says: “If the question had been propounded to me at any period of my public life, shall the arms of the Union be employ- ed te conquer, or the money of the Umion be used to purchase territory now constitutionally free, for the purpose of planting slavery upon it, 1 should have an- Oc: | #wered No! And this answer to this question is the + Red House, near | Wilmot proviso, as I understand it.” But this is not ; fo be had | the Wilmot proviso at all. If Mr. Wright had been ask- ed, in @ peace appropriation, shall a clause be inserted, not only inconsistent with the purview of the act, but et | which ties thehands of the government and renders nu- gatory all their efforts for the restoration of peace, he would, without doubt, have as strenuously answered no; and this answer to this question would have embodied the opposition to the Wilmot proviso as it was. That such was the real import and tendency of the Wilmot proviso I have frequently demonstrated. No Northerm man was more steadfast in his opposition to abolitionism than Mr. Wright. In January, 1936, a petition was presented in the Senate of the United States from the quarterly meeting of the Society of Friends in Pennsylvania, praying Congress to abolis, slavery in the District of Columbia. On the llth o March a vote was taken on a me tion by Mr. Buchanan that the prayer of the petition be rejected, and among the names in the affirmative is that of Mr Wright. During the same session « bill was introduced to pro- hibit the carrying of abolition tracts, papers, or dosu- ments in the mails, a most extreme measure, as the fol- lowing first section of the bill will show :— Be it etacted, kc., That it shall not be lawful for any deputy postmaster in any State, territory, or district of the United States, knowingly ‘to deliver to any person. whatever any pamphlet, newspaper, handbill, or other printed paper, or pictorial represautation, touching thé subject of slavery, where, by the laws of the said State, torritory, or district their circulation is prebibited; and any deputy postmaster who shall be guilty thereof shall be forthwith removed from office, On the Sth of June, 1836, the bill was disposed of by the following vote :— Yxas—Messrs. Black, Brown, Buchanan, Calhoun Cuthbert, Grundy, King of Alabama, King of Georgia, Mangum, Moore, Nicholas, Porter, Preston, Rives. to. binson, Tallmadge, Walker, White, and Wright 19.

In various other instances Mr. Wright recorded his vote against abolitionism. To believe that be could have sanctioned the doctrine of the Wilmot proviso, if the question had been fairly submitted to him, would be to doubt his consistency, which cannot be doubted. GALVIENSI8. Wasnixaron, Oct, 15, 1847, The Annexation of Mexico. ‘This is becoming the question of the day; but as yet thas secured no responsible godfather before the peo; | ple. Mr. Walker of the Treasury, we understand, pri- | vately advocates it, because of the hard money and free trade questions. Mexico will furnish us with specie, (saying nothing at all of the negro question,) which will enable us to have the Tariff reduced to the lowest mini- mum, and yet render us independent of European ex- changes, It will also obviate the necessity of a direct tax on the people to pay the debt of the war, which can be liquidated by the products ef the Mexican mines.

John Bull might trade off his due of to old Spain, for the Island of Cubs.
