Lepper cgi and ked up in the juring the ship's stay in that port. This public o aoilee te the nubject was followed up % Inguirtes in the House of Commons, and eventually fe ites on the ot oe government to that ‘nited States, The case has now assumed a coin- ofthe’ of the most extraordinary kind; indeed. it is hard to say what confusion may not be generated by the action of this unlucky incident on the interna! polities +f the Union and the commercial relations between that country and this, It should be understood that two dis- linet authorities were foand to be interested in the ques- tion, and a corre ling division of responsibility was Cf course involv: The treaties regulating the or- course between Great Britain and the United States, and contracted between her majesty's government on one hand, and the supreme government of the Union on the other, secure to the citizens of each of the contracting powers the free right of entering. departing, and re- siding unmolested within each other's boundaries ; and it was on the strength of this stipulation that our go- Yernment remonstrated against the gratuitous inew ccration of one of ita subjects, The independenc how. ever, of the several States composing the A Union has only been partially surrendered to the faleral government; and it waa in the exercise of a ri sumed to be legally reserved that the local Leg ture of South Carolina enacted the ordinance der which Isaac Bowers was imprisoned. The er goa us the reader is aware, are slaveholding States; « hb tuch jealousy do they guard their institutions, that the appearance Of a free black in their towns is absolutely forbidden. and hence the law providing for (he inear- ceration of ail such during the stay of the wessel which shall have brought them to the country. On the one hand, therefore. plain treaty engagements between the two countrics, [sane Bowers was free to enter. side, tat any point of the American territory with estation or annoyance; on the other, by Known local laws, he was amenable to impricomment ut Charleston, in respect of his skin, ‘The first application of the British government was made, of course, to the cabinet of Washington. as the representative of the American Union in its relations with foreign Stotes, Mr. Clayton, in reply, acknowledged the violation of the treaty in’ the act complained of, but reed the consequence upon the peculiar cha: f the federation, which remitted to each constituent “itain private sovereignty, in virtue wheroof the Law in pice had been passed. made entirely in good fuith, or with troublesome controversy, we shall not attempt to deter ine, but the results have been singulor in the ext receipt of Mr. Clayton's ewer, whic ually referred for satisfac ion to the govern. it of South Carolina. Mr. Matthew, tho Britrsh const: at that port, was instructed to. make his appeal acco ingly; and he forthwith addressed a polite communica- tion on the subject to Governor Means, who acknow- ledged his note with equal courtesy. and laid the matter at once befure the Legislature of the State. There seems little ealeulated to create ‘urbance in the proceedings we have here described. The Britis government made its appeal in the proper quarters, and traneferred it upon proper recommendation to others ‘The government of South Carolina accepted the f= strance in good spirit. nor is there nny reason to doubt that some adjustinent will be attempted between ths jerests of the State and the plain rights of British subjects. The consequences, however, have been most remarkable.

Another Senator, Whose name was mentioned as being on the couunittes, also made the samo stwtemeut—so that the fact is very | clear that the bill would not have been disturbed im its slumbers during the session In the meantime, it appears that Bull, an offiger of the Senate, im constant daily intercourse with Senators, kept up aregular correspondence with gentlemen in New ‘k, who earnestly desired that the bill mi, mattoually soliciting money from them, s\ and the other Senator was pressing the bill furward—that when he had prevailed upon ouc member to. from passing it. another would manifest a determination to push the bili quickly through, and so oa, until some twelve hundsed dollars had been blackmailed The committee are engaged this after vestigations, and the result of thei be publicly known until Monday morning.
