Neighborly sympathy and assistance were never more required than at present; bat it should be of that kind that cheers and reassures, not depresses and saddens. To play, the part of ‘Mr. Croaker’’ is just now ill-advised and silly.

Ausanr, Ang. 19, 1853. The Court of Impeachment remained in secret session, deliberating upon the motion made by Mr. Mather's counsel, to strike out the five first articles, all the day yesterday, and down to the recess at half: past one o'clock to-day. The discussion took a wide range, and was participated in by Judges Ruggles, Denio, Johnsen, Willard, Taggart, Morse, and by Presijent Church, Senators Baboock, Taber, Van. derbilt, Bristol, Conger, Pierce, and others. The question submitted was a very interesting one, as it related to the canal loan of 1851, declared unconsti- tutional; and from the many able, learned and dis- tinguished gentlemen whose views were freely ex- preseed, it is extremely to be regretted that the rales of the Court reqnired recret consultation, and neces sarily excluded the taking reports of their speeches. A report of them would have been very acceptable to the peoplo, who have been kept in a state of ex- citement and agitation on the subject of the canal enlargement during a series ot years. It is a pity, therefore, that the arguments could not have been procured, for present reflection and fature reference. Mr. Vanderbilt, upon the opening of the doors, moved that the question be now taken. This was not sscented to. He then moved that the Court adjourn until to-morrow . Wright moved to ad- until ‘Monday . Both motions were and the Court took a recess until 4 o’ciock P. M. Upon assembling after dinver, the President stated that the Court had agreed to take the question in the Revolve Tins ba pending motion be passed upon b: en g m upon taking the opinion of the Court uj the tellowizn ques. tion ar to each of the first five of impeachment:— Shall the managers be precluded from giving evidence ete 8 five articles, upon the Presented by If the quertion shall pass in the negative as to apy of articies, thon as to each of those articles the following question shall be put:— Bhail the respondent, notwithstanding, be at liberty to object to the firet five articles as insufficient, by resson of indeGaiteness snd uncertaiaty in their allegations ? Mr. Brady remarked that the question decided by the Court to be put did not ly cover the ground, asthe motion made by Mr. Mather’s counsel was te strike out, or rather quash, the five articles. ‘The vote was then taken upon each of the articles as above specified and decided in the negative, as follows:—. yes—Messrs.

Judges of the Su- preme Court of the United States recognise the laws of ell the States, as do the State Courts the lews of each county, The jurisdiction of the Supreme Courtef the United States extonds throughout the Union and into the Territories.

But where a trial like this is hed in a State where fo such provision exists, the State 2. and pope loner, might juire ied of of the existence of slavery in the ida whee ‘the claimant resided. But this is not necessary before a Judge of the court whore jurisdiction is commensurate with the whole country. Kent is known to be slave State. ‘The ceelaration ois is wiluded te ie on; of tho argument tat ols does nos exist by law ela’ aw really sorry to hear this argument The distinguished Ssnator ‘was speaking of territories into which our friends of the South desired to take their slave property, aud declared that slave bolders had the right to wre slaves where there was no jegal ition of the relation. This wis anerror, The great principle is this: Slavery is local and can only exist by the authority of law I may re mark that I was the meanu of bringing out this decision, which was made ix the case from Mispiasippi. It bas been claimed that the slaveholcer had the right to take his slave into the territories where it was not legalized. and where long usage had not sanctioned the institution. Usage constitutes law, after a sufficient lapse of time. But the Supreme Court haa decided the ciaim to be without foundation, Slavery exists oaly by local a In the slaveboling States the laws provide for the con- dition cf marter and slave; they limit the power of the former, and protect the rights of the latter. To deny the Jegelization of the relation in these States, is to shus.our oa what is writven, and te the sions of the courts.

CounTY, Damacs 1n ComBguLann—Two violent storus of rain passed over Cumberland one on the 15th inst, and the other on the 16th, doing much danage. The Bedford valley and the Dry Ran emptied themselves into the étreets of Cumberland, sweeping aw fences, tearing up pavements, and running houres with revistless force. A great deal of damaze was done, confined principally to Baltimore, Centre and Liberty streets. In Frederick street the pave- mente in one place are considerably torn up. Several of the streets were literally covered with rubbish. Baltimore street, for some distance, was covered with Jomber, dead hogs &c., and apprehensions sre entertained of much sickness tn Cerys ‘The streets, however, will be immediat nsed, all lime one used. The cellars on Baltimore street were filled with water, and some of the merobaats have sustained considerable loss. The principal losers are J. B. H. Campbell, druggist; Butler, cabinet manufacturer; Peter Kearney, store; Mrs. Hebb, Jos. Williams, dyer, and the Pree byterian church.
