QSfTlie following able, eloquent, and manly,
defence of thy Supreme Court, (by the Editor
ofthe Philadelphia .Yews, the most prominent
Whig and K. N. paper in that city,) in the
WILLIAMSON case, will attract universal atten
tion and interest. Here is a warm political op
p ment of the members of the Court, giving a
plain history of this case which is alike credita
ble to his head and his heart. We ask otir op
position friends to read it carefully, and then
say, with such disinterested testimony before
them, if they can fbe idle clamor
propagated by the Abolitionists, who are endea
voring to sow the seeds of anarchy and blood
shed, by getting up an injlamnydory excitement
in favor of this violator of the laws of his coun
try. Some of the Professional, gentlemen who
delight in styling the Supreme Court Dough
faces, and many other such dignified terms,
should read it and blush for the perpetration of
such gross indecency and vulgarity against the
highest Court in the Commonwealth. If this
article came from a Democratic paper, it would
only have the effect that usually cortjes from
partisan articles —bid, with such a clear and
lucid statement coming from the boldest and
ablest champanion of the Whig and Know-
Nothing cause in Pennsylvania, can any man
doubt that Williamson is indrbt.-d to bis own
criminal conduct lor the position in which he
now finds himself. But read the article. Here
it is:
From the Daily News, Sept. IS.
Tlis Williamson (as?.
We publish, in another column, a communi
cation from an esteemed correspondent, in re
ply to some editorial remarks we took occa
sion to make in relation to the decision of the
Supreme Court in the Williamson case. Our
correspondent does not relish those remarks,
though he does not pretend "to gainsay the
law of the case as laid down by a majority of
the Court and conceding that point, as we
understand him to do, tve feel at a loss to
know why he should find fault with our re
marks on the subject. In the article referred
to, we confined ourselves to the case as it was
presented to the Supreme Court for its deci
sion. Satisfied that that tribunal had no ju
risdiction over it, and that it could not, with
out arrogating to itself the exercise of unau
thorized and unwarranted power, step in be
tween Williamson and Kane, and release the
former from the clutches of the litter-—sat
isfied of this we did not hesitate to express
our approbation of the decision of the Court,
and commend the judges tor a faithful discharge
of their duties. This was the utmost of our re
marks. We neither expressed any admiration
for nor commendation of Judge Kane's conduct.
Nor did we say aught condemnatory of Pass
more Williamson. All we meant to do, and
we believe did, was to express our approval of
the decision, of the Supreme Court, and Com
mendation of the fearless and independent con
duct of the Judges, in doing what they believed
to be their duty, instead of play ing the part of
political weathercocks, and disregarding law
to pander to public sympathies and prejudices ;
and as our correspondent, who is himself a
good lawyer, does not pretend to deny the
correctness ot that decision, but,, iuferrenlially
at least, admits its correctness, be can have lit
tle cause to find fault with our remarks.
But, it appears, he did not like our remarks
because they were, in his opinion, "highly
complimentary of the Judges of the Supreme
Court for their firmness," &c. Th,is it seems,
was the extent of our offending in his opinion.
Whether those remarks were "highly compli
mentary," or not, we are content to leave to
th- jn Iguu-nt of our readers. Admitting that
they were commendatory ol the firmness ot the j
judges, all admitting it must concede that to
that extent they could have* been no more !
than just. Though the Judges did no more
than their duty, they did it fearlessly *ud
manfully, and that, too, under circumstances
well calculated to excite their sympathy, and
to swerve thern from a rigid and faithful adhe
rence to the law as it is, for/- which they tie
serve public commendation rather than censure,
and as an independent and impartial journalist,
we ditl not hesitate to award them their due.—
We spoke of their derision, ot the conclusion
at which they had arrived, and not of the pro
cess of reasoning or the language employed by
Judge Black m making that decision. There
are many views expressed in that written opin
ion with which we do not concur j we may g<>
further, and sav, there are surmt sentiments
expressed in it to which we cannot and dr not
subscribe. It is but due to candor, however, to
admit that among these is not the one embodied
in the concluding paragraph of the opinion of
the Court, to which our correspondent refers.
To the verity and justness of that sentiment we
fully subscribe, all the indignant outburst ol lo
gic and declamation of our correspondent to the
contiary not withstanding.
Say what our correspondent may, he fails to
disprove the assertion of Judge Black. Pass
more Williamson does carry the key in his
own pocket whereby he may release himself
from prison, if he sees proper to do so. We
will not here follow the process of reasoning
employed by our correspondent, and enter up
on an inquiiy as to the truth of what he as
sumes, that Williamson did make a truthful
return, and that he cannot amend that retitra
without an implied, if not express acknowl
edgment that Ins first return was false. Suf
fice it for us now to say, that a man may be
guilty of falsehood by a suppression of truth
as weil as the expression of falsehood : and that
Williamson did aot, in his sworn return, state
the truth, and the whole truth, it does not be
come him now to higgle or hesitate about cor
recting that refirrn, and make one that will dis
close all the knowledge he has in relation to the
matter. Instead of halting and hesitating about
doing so, because that might subject him to
the imputation of not having acted properly
in the first instance, he should as an hon
est man onlv consult duty, 4at duty which he
owes to himself and to the laws of the country.
it is true, then, as Judge Black observes, he
does carry the key vv-ith him, whereby he may
unlock the bolts and bars ol the prison, unless it
be assumed, as does out correspondent, that he
made a clean breast in the outsiart, and disclos
ed all the knowledge he has on the subject in
his original return : but this, in the face of all
the evidence already disclosed, would be going
farther than our candor permits. The quibble
I that there can be no property in slaves in this
: State, and that he therefore never had in Lis
possession the property claimed by W heeler,
I will nut suffice as a justification ff-tbe return
j made by him. It was not for him to decide
i whether Wheeler could claim and hold those
slaves as property or not, nor for him to assume
that because he did,-not regard them as property
that he never had iff his p >ssession such refugees
from service. His duty was to answer the writ
; ol habeas corpus as commanded, either bv bring
ing the persons claimed into the Court, or by a
I sworn return disclosing all the knowledge he
j had on the subject, Pass mo re Williamson has
no one to thank but himself for the difficulties
jin which he now finds himself. Had he mind
: ed his own business, and let other people uiimo
! lesh-d attend to theirs, he might now be enjoy
; wig the pleasures of his family circle at his own
, fire-side, and find enough within a stones-throw
! around him deserving of charity and acts of be
nevolence, to engage all the means he has to
i spare for purposrs ufihat kind, and all the time
his business engagement would allow him to de-
I vote to so noble a cause. Instead ol looking
around him at home to do good, where in the
exercise of charity and benevolence would have
threatened him, lie choose the hazardous and
less laudable undertaking of interfering with the
rights of others, and having done so with a full
knowledge of the responsibilities attached to his
. conduct, he can blame himself only lor the
awkward predicament in which lie is now
! placed.
As tor the conduct of Judge Kane we shall
have more on another occasion to say. Our
remarks are already extended to too great length
to express our views fullv in relation to him.—
Let it therefore, be sufficient for the present to
say, that we have no doubt the court over which
he presides had jurisdiction in the premises,
and he had therelbre lawful authority to issue
the writ prayed tor by Colonel Wheeler. Re
lieving this, it follows, of course, that we regard
it to have been the duly of Williamson to make
a lull and complete return, disclosing by an un
varnished statement, under oath, all the lactsol
uhich lie had any knowledge, and that, on
failing to do so, he committed a grievous mis-
take, and exhibited a spirit of defiance to the
judicial tribunal before which he had been sum
moned to answer, that no law and order-loving
citizen ever should exhibit, or can consistently
justify. So far, then, we regard Williamson in
the wrong—wholly in the wrong to meddle in
a business which it did not concern, and again
equally in the wrong in not disclosing unreser
vedly all the knowledge, as he was legally
bound to do, he had in relation to the transac
tion.

Auecdote of a Sheep.
Anecdotes of animals are always amusing ;
and moreover, if observed accurately aud told
without embellishment, may some day serve
to solve a great problem io philosophy the
distinction, namely, between lite spirit of man
that goelh upwards, and the spirit of a beast
that goeth downward to the earth —a problem,
that the great Bishop Butler could not solve,
and left a blemish in his argument but a monu
ment to Ins candor. The subject of'ttie one I
am going to tell happened many years ago,
when I was an urchin of eight or, ten, but I
remeruber it welJ.
One fine summer moraine it was my ..pro
vince to anl in. driving a llock of sheep tb-tbe
brook, to be washed, preparatory to shefatfig.
The man who. hud charge of them led the'po
ces&ion with the salt dish in hand, in which he
ostentatiously rattled some lumps of salt, and
from time to time made pretense of throwing a
handful on the ground, to draw the dock on
ward from place to piace v while I tidlowed to
drive up the loiterers.
The old patriarch of the troop, a fine old
back, led the van of the quadrupeds, and care
fully examined every spot where the false mo
tion of throwing salt was made, till he was ful
ly :.ati.-fied in bis mind that no salt was depos-
iled. He then paused, shook his head with its
ample honors, and vending till the shepherd
was about a rod in advance charged opefiMvitn
from the tear with his whole momentum, J&ytfo'
raising him >4f his feet. I ft*rr> ffe
first comprehended the mariceuvre, bitt tlf&re
was so much fun in it, it was igiposftM? f*>
jjiive the alarm • and *vhen the man turned to
"blow me up" for my tacit cSl^jflpcity, 1 ww
rolTirtg on the sward in a convulsion of
laughter so contagions he was forced to join in
it, ant! let me off without a rebuke.
Will it do to attribute to so simple an ani
mal as a sheep, so high a moral sentiment as
indignation at deceit '! Perhaps not ;we may
at least rttake the "practical inference" that
those having charge of flocks cannot securely
|egd them long with mere occasional hcfldfuls
of— wind.— Vhurch Journal.
A B.vi.r.onx in a Tto \ derstoj? m —-VVon-
I deufcl Escape shiom Death.—lt was announ
ced some days ago that Mods, (jodvd, Col.
Latham and Messrs. floal, Crippen and Bel
man ascended in a balloon at Cincinnati- on
Monday. It appears they encountered a vio
lent thunderstorm in the clouds, which drove
the balloon on, it isolated, at the rale of 70
miles an hour, and that they attained an atti
tude of 17.450 feet. Mr. Belman thus de
scribes their descent after dark and during the
storm :
Suddenly we-feh our car rushing ovsr the
tops of' trees, crashing and tearing the limbs
as the balloon was driven along. Mons. G.
gave us the \.alv£. rope, and mounting the side
ol the car. he ordered vis to hold last, in an
other moment we landed in a cornfield, and bv
the force of the wind We were dragged arid
humped along the ground a distance of half a
mile; now through a fence; tinm striking a
stump of a tree, or whirling through the corn
stalks at a fearful velocity ; our heads rapped
each other, and not unfiequently we saw stars
all around. Up and down we went, when the
car struck a tree, and Mons. Godard was bur
ied to the ground a distance of 30 feet; the
next moment we were crashing against a tall
-tump of a tree, when Col. Latham and Mr.
Hoal were thrown with great violence from
the basket, the former on the back ol his neck
and shoulders, and the latter on bis breast.—
Mr. Crippen and myself were left alone i..
the car. Mr. Crippen obeying instructions to
keep in the bottom ol the cur, and 1 holding
with ail my might to the valve-rope, pu we
mounted. Fortunately we dashed into the
; limbs of a tall dead tree, and in Jin instant tree,
j balloon, car and remnants were flat on the
ground. Mons. G. had his !ip badly cut, and
the flesh lacerated on one of it is limbs; Col.
Latham an ankle sprained, bead, shoulders and
bodv generally bruised : Mr. Hoal his breast
I crushed in, three ribs broken and otherwise
I badlv bruised ; Mr. Crippen his head and neck
\ "skewed," and generally scratched and bruised.
I was bruised somewhat, but not materially in
: jured.
ELOPEMENT EXTIIAOUDINABV. —Tiie Hills
borough correspondent of the St. Louis lie
publican says :
An elopement of" the most extraordinary
character took place ot> or about the 7th inst.
at the Sulphur Springs landing. From all
that I can glean from the flying reports in
circulation, the facts are ahonl these: A fiend
in the shape of a Doctor, rfy the name of
Cheatham, came to the Sulphur Springs to
bunt a location as a practising physician. Be
ing short of means and a stranger,'he was taken
under the fostering care of Mr. Bond, a mer
chant of that place, who gave him the hospi
talities of his house, having (lie utmost confi
dence in the Doctor, anil still more in his be
loved wife, and considering Imr not only free
from crime, but above suspicion. What must
have been hi.i leelings, to tied the wife of his
bosom had eloped with the b>e deceiver, who
wound her like a serpent in his fatal coil. She
will rcjret tlit* day she was induced to leave
her once happy home, and desert a fond and
loving husband.
How ARCTIC EXI-LOKGRS PASS THEIR TIME.
The steward on hoard the Advance (the ves
sel abandoned by Dr. Kane) gives his experi
ence oi" life in the Arctic regit 4IS alter this
fashion :
"Life nn shipboard was regular and orderly.
There was a time for everything, and every
thing was in its place. Captain Kane and
the officers were untiring in the discharge of
the duties of their posts, and the mvo appeared
contented and hearty. The ship was abun
dantly provisioned, and the diet was whole
some and various. At seven bells, or about
7& o'clock in the morning, all hands mined
out. Breakfast was taken at eight. The du
ties of the ship were then performed ; the decks
were cleansed, and things were put in order
for the day. Sledge parties were then appor
tioned, for the sake of exercise, and short trips
were made in different directions, for two or
three miles. By the time the parties had all
returned to the ship it was nearly noon. At
four he|!s—2 o'clock—dinner was served.—
After this there was nothing to do, except to
rend, talk, laugh, if there was anything to
laugh at, keep worm and he jolly. Another
meal presently followed, and a? 9 to tO o'clock
at night the ship and all in it were silent ; the
lights, except those deck, were extin
guished, and the watch, s were set. This, with
very slight variation.*, was the regular routine
on board the ship during the whole pmiod of
nearly two years."
