In the case of the fugitive slave, Simms, in Bos- ton, the United States Commissioner decided, yes- terday, in favor of the claimant, and granted a eertificate to that effect. The fugitive will be re- moved, as soon as an application to one of the local sourts for a writ of habeas corpus is disposed ¢ The abolitionists appear to have exhausted their ingenuity in their endeavors to defeat the execu- tion of the lay; but Simms will, no doubt, be de- livered up. It is due to the authorities of Boston to | say, that they have performed their duties very | ereditably in the matter, and have convinced the | eountry that the abolitionists cannot, as was sup- | posed, ride over the law and the constitution in that eity. There was not much done in the Legi-lature yes | terday, a great deal of the business of the session | having been disposed of. sembly passed the bill creating a bank department of the State go- vernment, and a resolution authorizing railroad ribe to the stock of the Canada eompanies to subs West Kailroad. There have been some disgraceful seenes in Mil- | waukic, which grew out of the preaching of ¢! recreant or pretended monk, Leahey. If those who dislike his preaching were not to notice him, they would accomplish more than they can by mo- | lesting bim General Scott has declined a public dinner ten- dered to him by the citizens of Cincinnati. \ Alexander Hamilton and the other Great American Statesmen We publish elsewhere, the brief, or notes, of a speech of Genera! Alexander Hamilton, made to the Federal Convention, in 1787, as to the form of a federal constitution, which is authentic. It is a eopy of a paper left by him, and in his handwriting, farnished to us by those having the custody of his papers. This curious and remarkable document verifie: fully the aecusaticn made by Mr. Jefferson, that Mr. Hamilton was, in 1787, a monarchist, and that he had little conidence in the intelligence and virtue of the masses of the people. He distinctly avows this in this speceh, undisguisedly and ua- equivocally; and besides, in its conclusion, if we understand him rightly, goes as far as Hobbes, Sir Robert Filmer, or any of the old English mouar- ehical writers, against whom Algernon Sidney aud Locke used their pens. He goes farther than Blackstone. He contends that a government to b strong, wise, and pure, must not be based on the patrictirm, intelligence, or virtue of the people, but on the “passions” of its rulers, and expeciall the ‘passions’ of “avarice and * ambitic Paradoxical as this seems, it is a fuir reading Mr. H1.’s speech, a# exhibited by these notes.

Put Geueral Havaitton wanted confidence in the virtue and intelligence of the masses. He did not belicve in the capacity of “the people” for and he had little knowledge of human nature, and, by consequence, Lit tle practical wisdom. He was, as to govern- ment, behind the age in which he lived. On the other hand was the equally intellectual Jefferson, a powerful and seductive writer, but a theorist as to government, philosophy and religion of the French revolutionary school, and inclining to transeenden- talism of all kinds, and full of theo We attribute to him many of the crazy isms of the present day. He encouraged all such follies, cull- ing them “ philosophy.” He was the antipodes of Hamilton in the science of government. Jefferson understood the people, and he courted them suc- cessfully, He was a thorough-going democrat and demagogue, to an extent bordering on Jacobinisin. General Washingtion only could have kept these two great leaders in the traces, and from outbreaking LLL LALO LLL LL LLL ELL CLL A ER Did you ever see a whalo? Did you ever see a | mighty whale struggling in the turbulent ocean? Did you ever see two very mighty whales, or other | monster of the deep, in the terrible current of the boundless ocean, that was hurrying everything above and beneath it, onward and onward, in its tremendous career, to some final but awful catas | trophe? In the midst of the current, in such & seene, You might see the skiffs, covered with canvass, endeavoring to stem the tide unavailingly ; while, , at the same time, the very monsters of the deep | would be struggling against the current, to avoid, if possible, the awful fate which seemed to be impending over them, and over every living thing that, peradyenture, got into this current, roll- | ing on and rolling on, boisterous, furious, and boil- ing, to an awful but unknown eternity. Such a seene, with such an awful beginning and such an awful termination in prospective, resembles, in some degree, the present condition of this mighty repubKe—a termination which we have been ap- proaching for twenty years past. This fair repub- | lie has been launched on a current, which is now rolling us on, with its dark and hideous waves, to some frightful destiny—to some terrible precipice, more dangerous even than the Falls of Niagara, in the vernal season of the year, are to the incautious traveller. Throughout the North and the South, the great current of political excitement seems to be rushing and hastening us on to one result— the ultimate dissolution and destruction of this great Union, the prostration of this fair republic, and to the commencement of scenes against each other for the many years he did, and force them both to be useful to their country. He | repressed the extremes of both, and curbed the ex- travagancies of both, and without quarreling with * | The elder Adams succeeded him; but his total | failure as President, quarrelling with Hamilton and Pickering, and other chiefs of the federal party, and | exposing himself to the successful assaults of the | democrats led by Jefferson, exhibited most lament- ably his inferiority to Washington, and his unfitness _ for the chief magistracy. Madison possessed great | abilities as’a writer. It has been said of him that be could write “‘as well on the one side as on the other of any given subject ;” but he lacked coasis- tency, moral courage, and will—all easential requi- sites for a great statesman. General Jackson truly » “he could not look on blood and carnage bh composure.” Monroe was a well meaning, | but his leading characteristics were | those qualities calculated to induce a syncope of the public min and accordingly the country bad in t years of his administration, what was | “the era of good feelings.” J. Q. Adams was the son of his futher. He was a leamed, prag- matical, impracticable, obstinate dialectician and literary controversialist, honest and patriotic, but | who would have made a better Catholic Cardinal if be had been of the true church (instead of being a Unitarian), than he did a President. Ie would have equalled Jeffrey as the editor of a slashing re- view; but he was nota practical and wise states- man. Van Buren and Burr may be omitted altogether from the catalogue. It is the best for both of them to adopt this course. Tyler, with- out superior grace or beauty, was the very Ninon D'Enclos of Presidents. Polk was a pattern of | good luck, with one good statesman in his cwbinet, | and several indifferent ones—Taylor was an honest, | brave, old patriot ‘al, but a pattern of bad luck as President, especially as to his cabinet. Mr. Fillmore has made rather a bad start in some things; but if be would disclaim at once all preten- sions to beit date in 1852, he may go out of | office without edit. General Jackson was an | eminently practical and great man. His faults | s will, his wneonquerable pre- judices, and his liability to be imposed upon and | mislead by bad men, and intriguants like Van Ba- | ren, who had his confidence. He wasa pure patriot and of great sagacity, aud superior to any man who | hae ocoupied,the Presidential chair, except Washing- | ton. Ofall the public men of this country, now alive, who resembles Washington the most, Henry Clay | is, however, an orator, which | ngton was not. He combine: an eminent degree, the good qualities of Jefferson and Hamil- ton, without the defects of either. No man in the Union has been so illy treated by his friends and his country, as the sage of Ashland. Yet, in spite of ingratitude, at least twice has he | averted from his native land the horrors of civil war. His mild, temperate, conciliating, but lofty | and patriotic course, wise in counsel and firm | in execution, has reflected honor on his name and honor on his country. How small do your Casses, and Pucbanans, and Douglases, and Houstons, and Woodburys, and Butlers, and Scotts, and Fillmores, | and Crittendens, and Claytons, and Winthrops, and | all the rest of the leaders of the present day,appear be- | side him!

Altogether, the convert will be quilean nt. of a revolutionary character that can be pa- ralleled only in South America within the last thirty years. We are truly in the commencement of a political crisis, and the scenes taking place in Boston, and in other parts of the Union, South Carolina especially--and all originating from the same cause, indicate nothing but a tendency to the same result, viz:—the utter and final destruction of this great and prosperous country, as it has existed for more than half a century. We are in the com- mencement of a Presidential election, but the as- piring personages for the honors of the White House, seem to be floating, recklessly and care- | lessly, on the great current of abolition excitement, without reflecting, and without regarding for ono | instant, that y, and the country, are rapidly | being hurried towards the great gulf of dissolution, and beyond the confines of any visible boundary. Even the very agitators who have caused this mighty current and ground swell of political ex- citement, which is far inore important in its charac- ter than any contest for the Presidency could be— | even these agitators, seem to be perfectly ignorant and unaware of the tendency of their own conduct, or the certain results of their own action. Read the revolutionary letters, reeently, and so thought- lessly, and so recklessly, written by William IL. Seward, and John Van Buren, of this State, and addressed to the abolition and revolutionary con- vention in Boston, within afew days past. These treasonable aud revolutionary documents will be found in full in another part of this day’s paper. We call particular attention to them; for they contain sentiments which or'ginated in the brains of madmen, which are the cause of all the difficulty which we now witness in both the South and the North, and which have been thoughtlessly and foolishly carried out by the political aspirants of the day, for the pur- pose of acquiring a local triumph, or a local advan- | _ tage over each other. These dangerous and reckless agitators, of all ranks and sizes, aud connected with the ultras of both the old parties at the North, are increasing the great current—the great ground swell of abolition excitement, of fanatical feeling, which ; is hurrying everything and everybody connected | With public life, and public action, to that bourne | from whence no traveller returns—to the tomb of dissolution, civil war, and eudless conflicts amoug | the dis-United States of the American confederacy. The political leaders of both parties—even the administration in the White House, and in the de- partments in Washington, seem to be all infected with the same spirit of false security, and are gliding on, onward and onward, on the surface of this dan- gerous current, with the vain hope of seeing it cease some day, and afterwards of enjoying all the luxuries that political power and political victory can bertow on office holders, and the privilege of distributing the spoils of office. The administra- tion at Washington is iteelf on the verge of disso- lution, in consequence of a rivalry among its mem- bers respecting the next Presidency, at a time when the current of political action is hurrying the coun- try, North and South, towards that terrible catas- trophe which the abolition agitators, of both par- ties, seem determined to hasten. The politicians out of the line of the cabinet, both military ang civil, from General Scott down to William H. Seward, are deceiving themselves and deceiving the country, by looking forward to vain and eiapty triumph of a day, and seem to apprehend no hing | from the spirit of abolition agitation which is spreading in every direction in the North, in oppo- sition to the provisions of the constitution, which can end in nothing but a serious collision between itand the South. What fatuity! what culpable fatuity ! Dry-Rot 1s Mr. Fittmore’s Canmer.—Ru- mors, gathering and thickening every day, indicate the probability of @ reconstruction of Mr. Fill- more’s cabinet sometime before the day of judg- ment. The cause of this dry-rot in the administra- tion, which bas been viewed, on the whole, very favorably by the country, does not lie very deep— only about as deep as the chances of certain mem- bers of the cabinet for the office of President—to which station they seem to be aspiring. Mr. Fillmore proposes to take the field, aud Mr. Web- ster has fairly started, with three speeches and-a- half and one coming—and Mr. Crittenden hopes to out-general both, thinking he can show leg and muscle with either—or with anybody else who is inclined to run. Tom Corwin and the rest of the cabinet are not in euch hot haste. They are taking their pudding and beef now, and will not go into spare dict and training till the approach of the race for 1856. We shall not be surprised if a catastrophe be- full the present cabinet, growing out of the ambi- tion and jealousies incidental to the hopes of its members for the “ highest office.” The admiuis- tration has been composed of very sensible mate- rinis, but latterly have not exhibited so much talent as during the movements on the compromise measures. The Post Office Departinent was never so inefficient or so bunglingly arranged as it is now, with Mr. Hall as Postmaster General, aad Mr. Fitz Henry Warren as Postmaster Corporal. A greater batch of absurdities was never known than | that which now disgraces the department. Every- thing is done at odds and ends. AvtrStavery Movemesrs.—The great flare-up and pow-wow annual of the anti-slavery organiza- tion is not to come off this year at the Tabernacle, aeurual.

Well, we are | glad to get rid of the fanatics, on any plea they | may assume. It will leave us in the enjoyment of | peace, and out of the sound of blasphemy. We sap pore that Syracuse, where there is so much salt, will be able to endure it, amd no doubt there will be great glory for the abolitionists in that region. | Court of A; New York, Aven 10—No. Moore and others, reepow- dents. +6.

Several of these speculators, whose honesty was doubted, after their departure from the customary rules and routine of ‘business, were the town talk. From talking, action ensued. Legal complaints were made. Police|astices granted war- rants. Arrests were made. Lawyers were engaged pro. aud con. Police examinations were persisted in; und there was every proapet, in the presence of interested spectators, that some positive result would settle the questions thus before the public. In the examinations, which were protracted almost into infinitesimal degrees of quibbling, the lawyers talkedagainst time, patience, sense, reason, and everything else, except the parties arraigned, abus- ing the press sometimes for one thing, and some times another—but with no other view than to cre- ate adust,in which to conceal the features of the cases before them, ‘When we remember how much excitement there was day after day, how the witnesses increased be- fore the police authorities, how the lawyers bluster- ed and fumed, how the brokers of Wall street hung upon the lips of justice, thicker than ever bees did on those of Dion, the Syracusan—and how the ad- ministration of the law was expected to do the great work for which it bas been instituted, we are obliged to inquire in the most polite way possible—What has become of these cases? What has become of them? When Niles and his associates were detect- ed in doing business not exactly recognized in the moral code which governs members of the legal pro- fession generally, upon the examination followed incarceration, then conviction, and finally useful | employment in the State prison, with the most effi- | cient agency of the “‘ water cure””—the cold bath ; but Wall street has not a drop of water towards washing itself into cleanliness and health. What, shall not the brokers aave as full a measure of jus- tice in this community, as the lawyers? Is there any possible reason why their cases should be ne- glected, when the members of the bar are sent to prison for misdeeds ? Really, we do not understand this; and cannot tell how itis that they purchase | exemption from that justice to which they are as | fully entitled as lawyers or any other class of so- ciety. | Certainly, we have a perfect right to inquire, af- ter the hubbub that has been created in and out of Wall street, within a little time past, where is Ray Tompkins—where is Fred.

There is no doubt of a whig majority on joint baflot which, as there is no choice of Governor and State offi- cers by the people, transfers the control of the democrats now holding power, to the whigs. The choice of State cMicers, when no election is effected by the peopli, is | made by the Legislature on joint ballot. The election of U.S. Senator is by concurrent vote of the two Houses; and it is doubtful whether the whigs will have a clear mujority over the free sollers and democrats in the House of Representatives, A few free soilers may hold the ba- lance of power, as they did lust year. In the Semate, there is a clear whig majority; some accounts say but one, others from three to five, ‘The town of Sharon, Litchfield county, elected a whig representative on Tuesday, instead of a democrat, as was | at first supposed. This makes the House sum up as fol- lows :—Whigs, 112; democrats, 110, and 2 doubtful, viz: a free soll member from Waterbury, New Have county, and Mr. Hall, of Portland, Middlesex eounty, who is called a democrat by the Hartford Times, a whig by the Hartford Courant This Mr. Hall is a man of peculiar notions, and we apprehend he will be found quite as independent as Caleb Lyon, of Lyonsdale, in our New York Assembly.

They have had a | meeting and resolved to kick out of the traces, and | to run on their own acoount. They display pretty | much the same feeling as the exhibitors at Castle Garden, when the American Institute turned that great establishment into an advertising arena. | ‘These exhibitors wish to make the press the tool of | the oceasion, and to turn the newspapers into gra- tuitous advertising sheets. In fact, many of the exhibitors appear to be Barnums, in their way, and _ determined to obtain publicity at any rate, except alittle expense. However, before they have run their race, they may find that they have runagainst | snags, or burst their boilers. Seriously, we think the World's Fair will be a humbug. That clever fellow, Prince Albert, de- termined to muke himself popular with the whole shop keeping and lodging house keeping interests | of London, and he designed the grand show, that was to enrich them, and levy a tax on all the civi- | ized nations of the earth. The invention was a good one for the purpose, but as the shop keepers | of the world are as keen in having aneye to busi- ness as any princes in any country, they intend to have « full plate for their shilling. They mean to be- | come more celebrated than any princes on the face | of the earth, and to be the world’s talk, if the thing can be accomplished. However, we think they will have to add the expenses of advertising to their cal- culations, for the English press has a rare instinct With respect to its own uses and value, and editors there are not quite so obliging us they are here, Where, often to save themselves labor, they will fill | up their editorial columns with advertisement mat- ter, and “perish in the attempt.” Our only hope | that the World’s Fair will prove anything but a per- fectly complete failure, is in the movements of the | socialists who are to visit London. They will go there with the idea not of concentrating property, but of distributing it ; and should they make a de- | Fair may really pass off with some considerable | éclat.
