THE CANAL LAW DECLARED UNCONSTITUTIONA AND THE MANDAMUS IN THE CASE OF PHELP VS. NEWELL DENIED. Avoaxr, May 11, 1862, The Court of Appeals met in the Capitol this morning, but adjourned till five o'clock this afternoon, with a view, probably, to consult on the euses argued at the last term, Upon re-nssembling, in the case of “ Phelps ys, Nowell” —which presented the pure constitutional quostion as to the canal contracts—the decision of the Supreme Court was reversed, and the mandamus was denied by a una- nimous vote, Judge Welles declining to vote, In the Orange county case the judgment of the Supreme Court was affirmed—that judgment having been that tho Canal law was unconstitutional. On this the court stood all for the affirmative, except Judge Welles. Great Excitement at Rochester. THE DEMOCRATS AND THE CANAL ENLARGEMENT. Rocny:srun, May 11, 18 The democrats have called a mass meeting for Wednes- day evening, to take measures for the immediate enlarge- ment of the Erie Canal, by requesting the Governor to call a special session of the Legislature, to pass a law sub; mitting the question to the people at the next geno election, and to effect a loan upon the credit of the State, The decision of the Court of Appeals produces intense excitement here, ‘The Latest From Washington. ERAL SCOTT AND THE COMPROMISE. AL CORRESPONDENCE OF THY. NEW YORK HEMALD, Wasaxoroy, May 11—0 P.M, Tt bas been stated in certain quarters that, in no con- tingency, will General Scott write any letter dofining his tary prideof the nation. She has been augmenting her forces; rhe has yot to take revenge for the events of the Inst thirty years, When sho does stiikewho cam tell where it will be? In the event of « forcign war there is great danger of our being brought into it: and for such An emergency we ought to be"prepared. Tho harbor of New York is not now any better defended than it was during the war of 1812 Fleets approaching tho United States were no longer interrupted or interfered with by the fluctuations of wind or tide. An enemy would now ——— with his armed steamers; and such is the on- dition of the defenoes of New York and other Atlantic harbors, that a hortile fleet, in a single night, could suc- cessfully destroy any of the principal cities. He had no bj but ioe ——— could be constructed that would pass by any fort without sustaining any injury. Tho; could be constructed with a speed« slling tives Saat twenty miles an hour with the tide, With apeed all that was required was five minutes to pass beyond the range ofa fort with the ordinary chances, and with the assistance of the smoke, both of the steamer and fort itself, thia could be done. What protection could the city afford against such a steamer? to obviate this, it is necessry that in the harbor there shouid be a construc- tion combining the valuable qualities of stone with the power of motion. This harbor vessel being shot and bomb proof, could do more to resist the progress of hostile fleets than twenty forts, Stevens, the author of the dorign, # an accomplished and experienced gentleman, who is willing to hazard bis reputation and character upon the success of the undertaking, which would not cost more than one of the worthless ships of the Navy.

These forts were, to some extent, inva- luable, and no fleet conld pasa them without the greater number ef vessels becoming crippled or othorwise injured; but, to oppose those who shout succeed fo running the gauntlet, there must be some other structure, capable of resisting as well as the fort, and, also possessing th wer to change its position, &e. He gave a history of the genius and skill of the elder Mr. Stevens, the companion of Fulton, snd dcelared that’ bis scientific qualities had been transmitted to his sons, and he emnestly urged that Congress ought to avail itself of the practical skiltund eminent abilities of K. porition on the Compromise, This was not his position afow weeks ago; and I know that some of his most dis- tinguished Southern friends declare that unless he doc come out with a letter he cannot get the vote of a single Southern State, North Carolina ¢ nh would utterly re- pudiate a nomination under such circumstances. Pri- vate letters received hore confirm, to the full extent, the celing of disapprobation which Senator Mangum’s Scott speech, and tho reflection it contained upon Mr. Fill, more. ealled forth in all the whig papers of his State- There is one way, however, in which the General may + scape the dilemma:—In caso the democratic convention 8 silent onthe Compromise. then a declaration upon the yart of the whigs, or their candidate, will bo deemed unnecessary.

Stevens. He thought it not inappropriate to say « few words upon natural defences generally. ‘The recent victories of the army had thrown a cloud over the navy, and obscured the glory of its past history; but the navy is the true defence of this country. and future events will show that thix country must become one of the greatest muaritimo powers of ‘the world. Instend of having # navy «uch as is required, we now. compared with the na- yal forces of the other nations of the world, are not #0 well off as we were torty year ago, Kngland, Russia. and Franco, bave for years Deon increasing thelr haval forces. “The whole steam navy of this republic, where men are 60 anxious for a war—where men are ready to promulgate new doctrines of national law, which would put the world in a blaze—in this republic, where men are 0 fond of boasting of their capacity to flog all Europe, we have five worthless ships. and two screw propellers. We ought to bo prepared to fight, before we begin to bully. Within twenty days after we should get into a war, New York and other seaboard cities will bo at the merey of the enemy. We ought to reflect on the great disparity of our defon- ces—on our defenceless condition—in case of war, and on our vast commercial tonnage, and prepare for the consequences. In this ago of improvement in naval warfare and the modes of assault, our present rhips of the line and frigates are worthless, "We must, in order to sustain our interests ax they should be, construct alarge steam navy, on a new system, We must have ateamers to surpust all others in specd, and impregnable toasault. We must have steamers which will be ablo to cruise in the British Channel, aud threaten her ports, as her ships now do ours. We must have steamers not only able tocompote with those of the enemy, but ablo to beat ahalfdozen of them. In the hands of such men as Mr, Stevens, these results are not impossible or impracticable. Nothing would be imporsible in the hands of American mechanics. if they were properly encouraged and pro- tected in those two great interests which enter xo deeply into all things concerning the national defences—these were coal ard iron, So regulate the revenue laws that the ad valorem duty shall be laid upon the actual value of the article in Amorica, and with this encouragement, the sound of the anvil and the busy hum of trade will: be evived. the energies of American skill will be renewed, and they will bid defiance to the world. He was a de- mocrat. He did not consider that there is anything inthe democratic croed against the encouragement of those com- modities of America which are essential to the national de- fenees, Andrew Jackson did not think so, Lfdemocracy fore bid this, God help such democrats! He read various ex- tracts from newspapers, relative to a voyage by -the Witch of the Wave packet clipper. fiom China to Kngland, in ninety days, and the victory of the yacht America, evidences of what American skill could do. Ie found democracy in the Virginia and Kentucky resolutions 798 and ‘9. In them was the true exposition of demo- cratic principles, It is the custom of some politicians to sneer at these things; but he carcd not for such sneers, He considered those resolutions the most valuable legacy, next to the constitution, which the fathers of their country had hequeathed to posterity. ‘They had done much to preserve the country from the false theories and heresies of latter days. ‘They have,in their plainness and truth, pointed out the only smooth stream and_ safe chunnel in which to guide the ship of state. By them he tested his democracy—by them he would stand or fall. He was willing to rear them upon his banner ax pointing out the policy which the country should follow. On one side of the banner should be the motto. avery ia no sin of ours.” whilst on the other side should be, “The Wilmot proviro is unconstitutional.” In saying this much, he trusted he did not offend young America, or old— Mr. Cass—“Old fogies.”? Mr. Srocxrow said that his memory did not fail him, but he hesitated in uttering a term which might bring disrespect to any onc, He would never utter a word cal- culated to injure the feelings of the honorable Senator from Michigan, whom he then complimented most highly, and expressed the hope that he might be spared yet for a long while to the service of his country.

Formerly St. Tammany’s day used te be observed on the Ist of May, and, in fact, the celebration. according to the old custom is kept up im many places even to this day, As the custom of observing this day in not generally Known. we give the following sketch:—Tam- many was an Indian chief. who lived in Penmsylvaniain tho earlier days of its colonial existence. fe was highly esteemed throughout the country. both by whites and Indians. for his virtues and patriotism, So great was the respect entertained for his inemory that, after his death, he was canonized, and his name enrolled in the catalogue The Spt of May being his birthday, old style, terward® known ‘in Pennsylvania as St. Tam~ many’s day, From the patron saint of that oolony, he finally beeame the patron saint of all the colonies. and the anniversary of his birthday camo to be as regularly observed as thé Fourth of July iswith us. Hence it has been adopted as the anniversary of va military com- p ies in many parts of the country, Ax other countries have their tutclar saints, so in this country we have St. Tammany. Throughout the Revolutionary war the natal day of this Saint wus observed with great re«pect by the army as well as by the people, It was not till Jeffer- ron’s administration, when General Dearborn was Seere~ tary of War. that the observance of it by the army was dispensed with. The first fort built at St. Mary's, Uam- den county. was cailed Fort St. Tammany, The custom, therefore. of observing St Tammany’s day. though not generally known, is derived from our early ancestors, Geocnarmeat ayy Satistican, Soctery,—Vestorday evening this society held their monthly meeting. at the chapel of the New York University, There were very few . members present, which may be accounted for by ite heing anniversary week.
