Rynders said he would be a Warwick if he could elect another President. And Mr. Clay remark- ed toa frend, ‘Can’t we win him over to our side? Ha! ha! I have seen the annual report of Capt. Fraser, who has the superintendence of the vessela en- gaged in the revenue marine.

As Mr. Miller was extend- ing upon t! idea, it tions on th bjeot by the senator from Mississippi, Mr. Jerrenson Davis rose to explain. He defended ed to convey the ides that they were to be put to the base uses of extortion to which the senator had refer- red; bet according to the usages of war, Mexico was subject to military contributions. In regard to the ne- ocasity of the forces asked, Mr. Davis said he had just received two letters—one from the Rio Gran: 25th January, and another ofalater dat from and they beth speak of the existence of a larg.

Mistakes were committed duriug the last session, unfortunately both for the roment and the country. It was unfortunste for the govern- ment, because, at the time of the loan, forty millions should have been authorized, instead of twenty-three, in the then condition of the commerce of the country.— There would have been no difficulty in otiating a loun to thatamount. Mr. Vinton thought that the Se- cretary of the Treasury and the President, under whose joint action the loan was carried into effect, committed a great mistake—instead of issuing certificates of stook and tunding the twenty-three millions, in issuing twenty or thirty millions cf treasury no.es—these notes have come back upon the Seeretary, and effectually dried up the ordinary resources of the ment.

He had said that he feared, and he might now say ho believed, from the examination which he had made, that it will require the raising, by means of aloan, from twenty to twenty-five millions, to carry us through the present year. He was aware, that when an opinion is put forth in contradiction of the estimates presented, it might seem to bea bold assertion If, at the last session, when we were informed, that twenty-three millions would us throogh the year, aud when, in fact, forty millions were required, such an assertion would have bsen attributed to party bias ; and it would have been viewed as an effort to discredit the government, and. by that means, give “ aid and com- fort to the enemy.’?

The decree ulso directed that the several mortgages be cancelled— under @ peculiar law of Louisiana, to which he would nd brances aud mortgages. The sale was had, and the de- fendants in error, in their bill filed in 1844, ask that this ale bs set aside, that the property be resold, and their third mortgage satisfied.

During this whole time not one word of objection was raised by the City Bank: They did not object or dispute the power of the court, who had proceeded on bankruptcy; they did not deny the power of the court to decree o id they never objected that the sale would ni iu the purchaser under the deoree a title sree, petitioned the court to, oe nd Pine mortgag: On motion of Mr. Vintor, the House resolved itself ; free from ead above all incumbrancer, and of the teveral mortgages on the property. after these events, the people of Louisians, in the cleo of Cy epee power which they possessed, joan people are so fond, and perhaps too fond, became tired and dissatisfied with the consti- Some time jo law ; amd thi tem of In that new nic law, the nature of their was alao the number of the mem- lany changes were made in the Jotil this had hap- thing in relation to this Under ® new court, however, they did act, ree t to the court below, whose opinion changed, Mr. J. would say, thet it hat the decision of its it the case in Sth Robinson, ug: was seckaane tae view of the law taken by the dew the supreme. dignity end authority of this court, he would also say, that although ° terests iavolved, and of the counsel appearing in of the decision below, he trusted the court would give this case, as it had in several instances before, a careful investigation, not- withstan: its former decision might have been disre- garded. in pape Ang 4 their aid to the others, in the search after the law, bys stronger and firmer re-affirmance of the doctrines laid down before, give tothe decision of the courta streagth that could not but be felt.

That, under the laws of Louisiana, the cancella- tion of the mortgsges, being directed by the Superior Court, as between the mortgagee and purchasers, was final and conclusive. To maintain these paoporitions would be the course of his argument. ‘The first of them, it would be scen, was most material, because it would settle the question whether the Union was to be governed by one wnole harmonious law in re- lation to bankruptcy, or whether each State was to con- strue the law and govern the subject as it thought. The question would be, whether the District Court was clothed by the act of eels ee of 1841 with power to de- oree a sale, which would give the purchaser a title clear of all existing incumbrances. lad the Congress the power to pass that act of 1841? and if theyhad, had they the power to clothe the judiciary with those exolusive pores: over the subject of ey, hie ‘The first it was not necessary to argue, During the segsion of Congress at which it was passed, in the news- papers of the day, in the political canvass that preceded, and which followed the passage of the act, the power of Congress to pass the ao! baa been denied; ‘but he would not insult the court by entering into an argument to prove that power, because the court hdd over and over decreed under the act, aud, therefore. had decited upon its constitutionality. The Congress of (he United States hadthe power, under the constitution, in language clear and plein, to pass such a lew. “Congress shall have power to pass uniform laws of bankruptcy.” The only restraint upon their power is, that itshall be “ uniform.) Let there be uniformity inthe act, and Congress has an unlimited control and jurisdiction over the subject— that power is absolute and unqualified. The objections the act, were on the ground of the class of persons whom it allowed to become bankrupt, on the ground that it allowed voluntary and involuntary bank- ruptey; thatit didnot discharge all debts, but left some tobe ‘paid, and finally, that it clothed the United States Courts with power to destroy the jurisdiction of State Courts over the cases. Since the paseage of the act, but one Court in United States had attempted to call into question the validity of all the provisions of it. If you turn to the Federalist, in the 424 number, written by Mr. Madison, then not so great a man as he afterwards bsecame—you will see that this power was given to Congress on the ground that it was necessary for the regulation of commerce, that creditors would re- side in one State, the debtors in ancther; sad that it was necessary that where States, each claiming to be sovereign, in the exercise of that sovereignty, the: would have legislative provisions upon provisions, whic! estroy all uniformity, produce confusion, and leave the door open to fraud, secretion, kc. To guard against this almost certain effect, Mr. Madison advo- cates thispower in Congress, (and it wer, with the ex- ception of Connecticut, agreed to with unanimity by the States.) should be given to one power to exercise sovereignty over all. It wasto be uniform, and it was from! the very fact that there could be no uniformity, and to guard egainst fraud, to protect the crediter and debtor; that there was adopted ons sovereign power to have the whole jurisdiction over all, and thus have that uniformity that would not exist without it. He asked the court to go above to the chambers of the two houses, and fancy themselves clothed with their powers to le- late tor the whole, to give the powezs to courts with jurisdiction over whole, and what would be said tos suggestion that the court should not have this power when the Union was cut up into thirty States—not to say of what we may heve—would it not be id that the act would be useless, and that the object of the law would never be obtained unless this wasdone? One principle of Polius was that judicial power should be co-extensive with the legisla tion cf every nation, and the suthority to rest the law, and to administer the law, must be oo-extensive with the legislative power. There were no laws but what required construction, and the power to construe must extend as far es the power to le- gislate. It was well settled, that in every well organizad government, the power of the judiciary must be co equal and oo-extensive with the legislative, or else where would be the uniformity of the law, of constraction, and interpretation ? We may have thirty different construc- tions upon one law. Now to the hankrupt act itself, to use the correctness of the construction put upon it by the court below. The first thing is its title, “an act to establish an act of bankruptcy throughout the United States.” The thing to be done- inject Con- grees thought they were doing, was to establish an uni- form act ot bankruptcy throughout the United States The first section establishes this—it provides, uniform act throughout the’ United States. Te the second eection thelr is a proviso—that nothing ia this act shall be construed to annul or impair the rights of married women, minors, or incumbrances, ke. This provieo is not that married women, minors, &c shall not be subject to this sct, so fur as their remedy exists, but it merely excepts from its operation their legal right—the rights of married women, &o., shall not be impaired, &o, not that their remedy is not touched. It is an universal rule of interpretation, that th oaption ina law proves the general power and it is said that the very things exc 4, unk excepted, would bave fallen into the of the law. Mr J. would endeavour to show thet by the exception relied on by the court below, and by the cour- sel who had ed him (Mr. Goodrich) for their view of this 1 itis demonstrated that the jurisdiction of the District Court over the remedy of married wo minors, &o,, remains. For if not, Congress would have excepted the remedy, as well as the right of married women, minors, kc. The exception proves that in it did not exist, the right would be eutject to the law, and the ace of the exception as to the remedy, proves that it is not excopted. It is clear that Congress considered that unless this provision wos inasrted, the right of the married women, minors, and incum- brancers would have fallen under the law. This very exception in favor ef married women, minors, kc, was put into the bankrupt act, more on account of the laws of Louisiana, then any other cause. The State of Leuisians, governed by the sh dictates of humanity. and foresight in behalf of t! fenceless, have enacted that the wife and children as against the husband and the father, have # sacred right in property. This pro- vision had been framed in consequence of the innumer- able instances in other States, where by the improvi- dence and speculation, and other desires of the head of the family, the wife and obildren are reduced to begging andruin. Against him, therefore, the State of Louis jana bave given a right to the wife and children. This provision became part of the act, in consequence of this provision in the laws of Louisiana, ss will be seen by reference to the case in 5 Robinson, the judge who deliv ered the opinion in that case being in Congress at the time of the passageof the act. This proviso only pro- tects the right of the incumbrancer, and leaves hisreme- dy to come under the act The court below interpret this section as if these parcies exccpted, were taken bodily out of the provisions of the act, that all its actions aod liabilities, and effects, are of no effect upon them. Tise hour of three having arrived, and Mr. Johnson not having concluded, the Chief Justice # ted the propriety of adjourning, and his conciuding his remarks to-morrow; and the court adjourned. Mr. Clay follows Mr. Johnson. BE Battimore, Feb. 9, 1848. Trial for Murder—More Model Artistes—St Valentine's Day—Mechanics’ Institute, §c. The City Court was engaged all day yester- day, in the trial of Lewis Cummings, charged with the murder of a young man named Leplat Carter, about two years since. Cummings made his escape immediately after the deed, and has since participated in all the naval actions at Vera Cruz, Alvarado, and other ports, on beard the United States ship John Adams. He stabbed Carter with a dirk knife in a street fight, when allthe parties were drunk, and now has no re- collection of the deed—besides which, Carter was his bosom friend. The evidence was closed yesterday, and as he has two of the ablest mem- bers of the bar for his counsel, Hon. John Nel- son and Chas. H. Pitts, Eeq., the probability is that he will be cleared. % A new company of Model Artistes have taken the Holiday street theatre, and will make their first appearance on Wednesday evening The preparations in Baltimore for St. Valen- tine’s day, exceed those of any previous season.

Franklin, of Fishkill, ac- pb by his sister-in-law, Miss Proal, started from the reside of Mrs. Dickinson, three miles east of this village, where they had been on a visit, for th of coming to Poughkeepsie, with the intention d- ing the evening with s friend. When in the reighbor- hood of Vassar’s briekyard, one of the horses stum! his seat to ascertain the cause, thrown out upon the ground. The horses. becoming frightened, started off on a run, with Miss Proal ptill in her seat. Conscious of her perilous situation, with great presence of mind, took off her cloak and other su- perfluous clothing, and sat herself down in the bottom of the wagon. The horses ran through several streets sie | by Ratzer’s Hotel twice in their finally down Main street to the river, pass- ing under the arch of Vincent & Co.’ Mr. Franklin arose from torehouse, and short distance farther,on passed through a narrow space, where it appeared as if there was bardly sufficient room tondmit # wagon under the most favorable circum- stances, and would undoubtedly have gy into the river had they not been prevented by t lying at the dock.
