The News, @n reference to the despatch of our special oor- wespordent, it will be observed that the leading men in Washington hold much the same opinion as $s expressed in our leading article of this morning, with regard to the position assumed by Senator Margum, in the whig caucus on Friday evening. ‘There ie no probability of his being sustained by a majority of his Southern friends. They have too mech at stake to again ran the risk of ‘going it Biind,” as they did in the case of General Taylor. Aecording to a despatch from Washington, a majerity of the joint Printing Committee of Con- gress have annulled the contract with their printer, on the ground that he bas failed to meet his engage- mente, and have given the work of the House to the Gaion, (the chief organ of the democrats,) and that of the Senate to the Republic, (the organ ef the adminietration.) A change in the printing depart- ment was much needed, and has been long anticipat- ed. There is no devying that the work was greatly behind hand; aud even when any of it did happen to wake its apppearance, it was found to be miserably executed. But have tho committee remedied the evil? Doubtful, very doubtful. This division of the spoils between the organs of the two parties looks as thongh it was not intended for the goneral good, but rather for the good of the politicians te whom the papers belong, and whe, were they forced to rely on the capital their industry, tact, and talent afford them, would soon go by the board. It se to be a compromise arrangement between the whig and democratic Congressmen, to bolster up each other's organs at the public expense- Hf eur vational legislators had really been desirous of having the government work done cheaply, neatly and quickly, they would have established a printing burcau years ago.

This withdrawal, im connection with ofber matters, aroused the iznation of our fellow- citizen, Mr. McMurray, who is reported to have talked nearly all day on the subject; at the ond of which time his party friends came to the resous, and kept up the excitement till after eleven o'clock at night, et which hour our accounts cease. All this fuss was raised for the purpose of staving off | the bill from the House, ordering the Canal Auditor | nothing more. ole time s transacted. whe Whig Cavens the proecedings of the Whig Congressional Oaueus, held in the capital on Friday night, for the parpose | National Convention. | discovered, there was involved in that eaueus the | | most important movement, by all odds, that has | sprung up at Washington since the meeting of | Congress.

We published, exolusively, yesterday meroing, f arranging the time and plaeo for the Whig | As our readers will have It is far more important than any public whether the Union, the Compromise, and the Cou- stitution shall be proclaimed as the basis of whig principles. That ie the iseue between the whigs of the North and the whigs of the South. That is the iseue upon which Gen, Scott is to be tried. The two most prominent ebaracters in this whig caucus were Mr. Mangum, of North Carolina, the ebnirman, and the gallant Hamphrey Marshall, of Kentueky,t! leader of the forlern hope of the South, possibly with the advice and consent of Mr. Clay. Mr. Truman Fmith, the chief cook and bottle washer ef the Taylor campaign, was, of course, on band, and very prompt to move a snap judgment upon any thing like a declaration of principles. But Marshall intercepted him in a very explicit proposition, re- quiring the Northern whigs to show their hands upon the savory question, before the South were ealled upon to join them in a national convention. ‘the suspicious affiliationa of Scott with Seward, and his picbald anti-slavery and abolition associations, the equivocal hide-bound attitude of Scott on the Fugitive Slave law, were the reasons submitted for this demand. And they were enough. Mr. Marshall will be justified before the whole country for grappling the bull by the horns, upon the threshold. If Southern men submit to be dragged unconditionally into a national convention, they will go outof it with a capitulation to Seward and his schemes, and a base surrender of their birth-right, for the very doubtful chances of a mess of pottage. Let the Southern whigs bear in mind‘that if, by a surrender to Seward, they succeed in the election, it will be the signal for renewed war upon the South, backed up by the whole power of the administra- tion; for there will be a power behind the throne greater than the throne itself. But let them also bear in mind, that by an open alliance with Seward and his various knots and cliques of agitators, they demoralize the national whig party—destroy it in the South—with all the hazards before them of a most inglorious defeat, even in the pitifal contest for the spoils. There was a fair exhibition of firmness among the Southern whigs, in support of the preposition of Mr. Marshall ; but the notice of Mr. Mangum, that he should consider the motion out of order at the next meeting, and the adjournment of the caucus to mect again on Tuesday evening, give a sickly and bad complexion to the whole affair. Mr. Man- gum would undoubtedly, upon # satisfactory plat- form, be a very popular candidate to run with Ge- neral Scott. Perhaps his colleagues—Mr. Badger, of the Fenate, and Mr. Stanley, of the Houseo—enter- tain theeame opinion. It may be that Mr. Senator Dawson, of Georgia, has some aspirations for tho Vice Presidency. At all eventa, the apparent willing- ness of all these distinguished Southern whigs to take Scott, and his right bower—Seward—upon trast, give a bad aspect to the whole case—the aspect of a final caving in to the most insidious and dangerous of all the enemies of the South. We have our mitgivings that in the second mect- ing of the caucus, the Northern whigs, aided bya few members from the South, more intent upon “the spoils” than upon principles and fidelity to their own institutions, will succeed. We have our finre of just that sort of a compremise upon which General Taylor was elected, and which resulted in driving the country headlong to the verge of civil war on the Texas question. It is not for us to pre- eume that the death of General Taylor was a Providential interposition for the salvation of the Union, but we have reason to suppose that, had he lived, the influence of his Seward cabinet would have held him to his mistaken policy, and that the very next step in it would have been a war between Texas and New Mexico. It is hardly necessary to follow the consequences of euch a step at that time ; the end, in all human probability, would have been ap abrupt dissolution of Congress, the secession of the South, and the destruetion of the Union. to pay the drafts of the Commissioners. Both | houses, in the course of the day, passed a bill | authorizing the employment of extra counsel to | defend the constitutionglity of the canal enlargo- | ment, in the suit aguinst the Auditor, which will | | | come up for a hearing in the Court of Appeals to- morrew. ‘This shows quite conclusively that a jority of the members of the Legislature, like vernor, entertain doubts as to the legdlity of this extraordinary measure, which has beon the | cane of so much excitement, bickering, speculation and political financierieg within the last twelve months. Were they not rotty well convinced that this grand scheme for the enlargement and complo- tion of the canals was passed in direct violation of | the constitution, noither the Governor nor the | Legislature would have deemed it necessary to | employ extra counsel to defend it. If everything had been done fairly and squarely, they would cor tainly have permitted the law to stand upon ite | own merits. In opposition to the Legislature, wo | are informed that the Canal Commissioners have | retained able counsel to argue the unconstitution- | ality of the law. It is probable that none of the pleaders will be prepared to enter into the merits of the case when it comes up, to-morrow, and, con- sequently, it will bave to be postponed for three months. Beveral importan’ bills were acted on in the As | sembly. Among those passed was one incorporating | stenmship companies, and another providing for the election of three Justices of the Marine Court of this | city. We are sorry to observe that the bill for the repeal of all usury laws wae defeated. Why not frve trade in money as well as any other property? A bill was laid on the table which provides for the transfer to the common sehool fund of certain mo- neys in the Chanoory fund, and also the unclaimed deposites in savings banks.

The ice on Lake Erie, in the vioinity of Buffalo, had commenced broaking up and moving off yoster- day, and it is anticipated that navigation will be re- sumed in a few days. Koseuth very quietly took his departure from Charleston yesterday, the social atmosphere being too cool for hiscomfort. He probably was impressed with the idea that his pseudo State-right speeches at New Orleans and Mobile would have set the Carolinians in @ blaze, but he was ogregiously mis- taken.

Ros Jand in 1B. M. steamer Conflict | Our Christian friends, of all denorainations, will | find wuch interesting ivformation t thie peper { bo 814: prime Now, the question is, are the whigs of the South ing to run tho risks of another campaign without a platform? We repeat, that we have our misgivings that Mr. Humphrey Marshall and the compromise whigs of the South will have to yield the wall to the foree of numbers, or secede from the Northern whig party. If they eannot, neither in person nor by proxy, indueo Gon. Scott to show his hand or open hie mouth upon the Fugitive law, then it will be a duty which they owe to the Union and the | South to bolt, and leave the Northern whigs to help | themselves, The lato violent denunciations of the | Fugitive law, upon the case of Horace Proton, by the leading organs of Seward in this city and State, abtndantly show that there is to be no peace upoa that question—no finality, no acquicseonce on the part of the Seward wing of the whig party. Re | Sietance and agitation are to be renewed in every | case of the re-eapture cf a runaway slave, till the law ie repealed, and other measures are substituted, which will secure freedom to the fugitive upon erose- ing Mason and Dixon’s line, or the Ohioriver. And this is but a step in the abolition programmo, the | ultimatum of which is nothing less than the total abolition of slavery in the South, by a pescable or bloody revolution. Thore is no disguise in all this. It is published to the world by the anti-slavery so- cicties themselves, of whom Seward is the willing orgnnin the Senate. Every inch of ground which is lost by the South ies gain to them, and they never recede an inch Will, then, the Southern whigs knock under and eave in to the dictation of Seward, and accept his candidate upon his own torms, to conciliate his favor and the sapport of his allies? That is the question. The whige and the democrate of the South have each the alternative of running an independent ticket, if their Northern allies will not toe the mark. They have thus the power of throwing the eleotion into the House of Representatives, where they wil have the strength to defeat the schemes of Seward, nad the power of giving both parties an example of their principles, which will do them immense good for the future. Yet we suspect this Congressional Whig Caucus will stifle all inquiries for principles, and blindly follow Seward for the spoils. Will the Southern whigs tho withdraw? We doubt it ; but we shail see. It is difficult to get over ‘the oo- hesive power of the public plander.” But we shall see. Neves reom Hornvnas.—The bark Wm. 0. Alden, Capt.

Oonnectieut, New Jersey, Penneylvauia, and Now York, have declared in various ways that they are opposed te temperance onthe plan of legal ee- ercion ; and they are right. Hereafter, therefore, let all those who are justly united against the pas- soge of such an abeurd blue-law as the Maine law was, be united together, and some reasonable, ra- tional ground of action be taken, upon which tem- perance men of all classes of society may be per- mitted to enter. In this city and in this Btate we have laws enough, which, if earried properly into execution by the public authorities, would be effectual in restraining the increase of grog shops, and the increase of dravkennese, beyond what could be effected by any Maine law. In this city we have thousands of unlicensed groggerics. Why are these permitted by the public authorities? Why do not some tem- perate, moral, enorgetic citisens unite together and investigate these delinquencies on tho partof the public authorities, and call upon them, before the whole community, to do their duty in that and all other respects ? A eommittee of vigilance, composed of energetic men in this city, whose duty it should be to watch the public authorities, and to see that they ourry into effect the laws now in operation, would be quite sufficient to restrain intemperance, and to promote the cause of morglity amongst all ranks of the peo- ple. One of the principle causes of intemperance and immorality, ia the influence of unliconsed and other grog shops previously to the nominations made by both parties at the annual elections. If these primary aseemblies were attended by a respectable portion of the community, and rowdies and rummios drummed out of them by force, or under the coercion of the police, we should see less of intemperance than is witneseed during these annual occ.sions, and less in other walks of society. Tux Printers anpD THE Penny Pruss.—A number of journeymen printers, formerly employed by Merers. Beach, of the Sun newspaper, a penny print, have published a card, stating that they have left that establishment in consequence of a reduc- tion in their wages to the amount of 6} per cent upon the terms heretofore allowed by the same employers. They couple this announcement with @ denunciatien of Mr. Beach, for violating his agrecinent—made a year ago--to give his printers the rates which had been agreed upon by the Society of Printers some time previourly. Several other remaiks, not very complimentary to their former employers, are also embraced in their cireular. The employment of these journeymen by Mr. Beach, at such rates of wages as both parties agree upon, isa matter between themselves, and with which the public has little todo. On that ground, there- fore, there is a manifest impropriety and empty parade in those journeymen publishing a pronuncia- mento, telling the whole world that they have left the employment of Mr. Beach because he came to the resolution to reduco their wages 6 per cont on the former rates. According to all appearances, the busi- ners of Mr. Beach has been declining for some tim as the sun, past meridian, declines west. The pa- per hae exhibited symptoms of consumption that would seem to justify the proprietor in endeavoring to reduce his expenditure, in order to meet, with justice, all parties, at any event or interval. It may be very true that rents, and beef, and pork, and molasses, and grog, may have risen in price during the last few years; but if the income of the establishment has been diminishing, that fact isa tufficient justification for the proprictor to reduce the rates of wages, without reference to any self-ap- pointed, self-existing tociety, who have no right to interfere belweon man and man--employer aud em- ployed. We think, therefore, that in this view of the mat- ter, Mr. Beach is right in reducing wages, in ordor to meet a reduced income, and that his journeyman exhibit no delicacy in making a parade of his mie- fortunes to the world. If they do not wish to work at the rates which he has offered, they should have tried to get employment at their own raice olso- where, without making a fuss about the matier. City Intelligence.

Jn the aotion just bad in this ease. in the rote be Court, the pleader hud set up that the ure, when they pasred the Act of Incorporation in 1844, had not any knowledge of ite constitution.

He was free to acknowledge that the in- stitution has been conducted by men of the highest re- #pcetubility. and kas numbered among its members ehan- cellers, and judges. and legislators. He had himself, on one cecarion, the honor of being appointed jndge at one ofthe dietribations. Mr. G°Conor—Juat after your election by the people | to the office of District Attorney, Mr, Binnt—Yee; but before I had taken the oath of Agreot many had been . and induced in go0d fuith, to euler into this association, as they ; did not consider it a vielation of this fundainental law of thie State, and of the statutes ‘din aid of that ni ntul law, He would call his Honor’s attention fir 1 to the act of the Session Laws of 1844, 7. which | waeenact to amend that of the incorporation of the Apcllo Seciety. On the 7th of May, 1840, the association for the premction cf fine arte, was ineorporated under the Bare of the Apollo Astociation, In that act there is nothing whatever pointing out any mode or manner in which any of the property of the society should be dis- tributed.” Tm 1844. an act of three seetions was passed by the Legirlature, altering the title of this society to that ef the American Art Union. The first sestion provider for the alteration of the name; and the second fection. (n which theee defendants rely, almost excla- sively. for wuthority to distrihute these works of art by lot, ik in there words :— The distribution of the works of ari belonging to the association, provided for in the constitution thereof, and the annual election of oficers, shail be held on the Friday preceding the 25th of Deeem- ber. inevery yeur. instead of at the time stated in the fourth sectionof the act hereby amended,” Ax I under- stand, under that second section of the aet of 1844, it is cluimed, on the part of these defendants, that they possesa, by virtue of the provision which is incorporated into their preecnt constitution, authority to distribute their works of art by lot. I will now call your Honor's attention to the constitution of the State, establidked in 1921. The reyenth article, eeetion 11, eaye:—“No lottery shall héreafter be euthorized in this State, and the ture is required to pars laws to prevent the sale of alllottery tickets within this State, except in lotteries already pro- vided for by law.” It is unnecessary to say, that that provision hus been incorporated into the present eonstitu- tion. which went into effect in 1847. Mr. Blunt also re- fared the court to the Revised Statutes, page 666, article fourth, entilled, “Of Rafiling aad’ Lotteries,” Section 92 provider—* No person shill se: up or propose any money. roods. cbattels, or things iv action, to be raffled for, or distributed by lot or chance. 0 uny person who thall have paid. or contracted to pay, ny valuable consideration for the chance of obtaining such goode or things in action.” ‘The second sentence of this section provides, “any pervon offending. shall forfeit threo Limes the eum of money. oF value of the article. together with the sum of ten dollars penalty. to be recovered by, and in the name of. the Overseers of the Poor,” The first rentence ccntuins an absolute prohibition, on the part of the Legidature, sgainst any porvon setting up or pro- poring any money. goods. or chuitels, to be railed for, or distributed by lot or ¢ Kection 26 of the same article, is in there word: Very lottery. game, or de- viee of chance in the nature of a lottery, by whatever nome it may be called. other than such as have been authorized by law. thall be deemed unlawful. and a public nuisance.” Section 30. of the same article, is in there words. “No person unauthorized by special law for that purpose, now existing. shill offer for sale, dis- triLution or disposition in any way.any real estate. orany money, goods, arti or things in action, or any interest therein io be determined by lot or ehunce, which shall be dependent on the drawing of any authorized or unau- thorized lottery within or out, of this Btate.” And the drt reciion provides for the forfeiture to the poor of the State. of ail property so iliegally put up for distribution, and requires the District Attorney to demand. ue for. and recover the seme, It will be observed, therefore, that the statute itrelf, in the first place, prohibited the fretting up cr proporing any property to be distributed Ly let or chance to any person who shall pay a valaable coneideration fer the chance, And the peculiar phrase- clogy of the Sist section is, that all property eo offered for rule. distribution, or diepo-ition, against the provisions of low. shall be forfeited te the people of this State, us Well before av after the determination of the chance on Which the ame depended.”” It will be observed. then, by | retvrence to the constitution itself, that it abolirhea, or rsiher prohibits, the future ervation of any lottery in this State; and alo declares that the Legi-lature ‘hall pure laws to prohibit thereafter any lottery in this State, Ive lot ting. and which were 33, . the Legislature of | State put an end toall the existing lotteries, and thet lime to the prorent. as we insist, all lotteries in this State are illegal; and in this Instance, the pro- perty cited for disposition, iv im violation of thir law, urd must be forfeited to the people. Themnin question involved in this discussion is, the character of the pro- | poced distribution — It will be observed by reference to | the schedule attxched to the complaint, that the distribu. tion fe to be by lot. The manner in which these distri- butions buve berctofore taken pluee is pointed out in the affidavit of Mr. Bowyer. and it also coneeded on the other Fide, ‘The by-laws of the institution provide tho man- nerin whieh the di-tributicn is to take piace, (Mr, Blent the +ixth article of the by-laws regulating the e of distribution.)

But by the 26th rection, to which I have alluded, it matters not Ly what name the lottery may be called. It declares that every lottery, gaine, or device of chance in the nature of | a lottery, by whatever name. be deemed unlaw- ful. Mr, Dlunt proceeded to state the grounds on which | he contended that this institution should be regarded aaa | lotury within the meaning of the statute; referred to several authorities bearing on the point at fesue; traced | the origin of lotteries to the times of the Romans, when they were contrived during the reign of Heleogabalus, and introduccd by him into rome of their saturnalias, with | 8 view of affording amusement to the subjects and a reve- nue to the treasury, and followed its history down to the | reign of Queen Anne, when for the firet time they were treated as public nuisances in Great Britain ; referred to their hietory in this country. where they wore ostablished | for the promotiouf learning but where thelr demoral- | izing effects became apparont and led to their entire sup- | Pression. By the lst section of the Revised Statutes, on | which this action is based, it is expressly declared that all | Proverty ro offcred for sale, or distribution. or disposition, \ agninet the laws, and ehall be forfeited to the poople of | this State, ax well before ax after the determination of the chance on which the same shall be dependent, The law hay- ing thus declarcd that no property shall be distributed b; chance, and that if it is to be o distributed it shall, | ¢o instanti, become forfeit, I submit that the American Art Union cemes within the provisions of this law, and that _— Property must be forfeited to the use of the | people. { Judge awards expressed rome doubt as to the strict legulity of the form of action; and as it was desirable on Voth rides that this question of the constisutlonality of the Art Union thould be dofinitively settled by the Court of | Inet appeal, he suggested the propriety of counsel on both | ridee presenting n caro in accordance with the statute, whieh eculd be decided in general term, from which thors would be a right of appeal—a right which would not exist, coure, He had no doubt but that Judge Duor might have legally determined this whole question in the action brought before him: ite'ther; and how far Judge Duer has determined the mattcr in bis own mind, he lias not thought proper to give to the world Mr. O'Conor—Nor is It of much conrejnenes, tir.
