The apprehensions of Jefferson respecting the character of this tribunal. are now real. ized. In 1821, he wrote that " the judiciary branch {of the government) is the instrument which, working like-gravity, Without inter mission, is to press us at last, Into one con. sulidated mass." Again he speaks of this tribunal as "an irrespon4ble body working like gravity ,by night and by day, gaining a liftfe to-day and a little to-morrow, advanc ing As noiseless step like a thief over the field Of jurisdiction, until all shall be usurped from the States, and the government shall be consolidated into one," An, to read the following trot» the pen of thellitthor. of the Declaration of Independence, one might,well imagine that he possessed the inspiration of prophecy " We alre.ady see the power installed fur life, reAponsible to no authority , (for impeach meat is not even a scare-crow) advancing with noiseless and steady pace to the great object of consolidation. The foundations are already deeply laid by their decisions for the annihilation of constitutional State rights. This will not be borne._ You will have, to choose between,refin - mation or revolution.— If I know the spirit of this country, the one or the other is inevitzble." Contrary to All correct example, they go out of the question before them r. to throw an anchor ahead and grapple further hold for fu ture advances of power. They. are then, in fact, the corps of uppers and miners, :gel:li ly working to undermine the independent rigles,.cf the Statei • Nothing in the Constitution has given them a right to decide for the Executive more than the Execittive to decide for them. The opinion which gives to the Judges the right to declare what laws are constitutional and what are not, not only for themselves in their own sphere of action, but for the Leg islature and Executive also In their spheres, ; would make the Judiciary DESPOTIC BILANCLI. If this opinion be souud; then indeed is our Constitution a complete felo de u. For in tending to establish three departrnen,ts co-or dinate and independent,that they might check and counteract one another, it has given, se , cording to thii opinion ; to one of them alone the right sto prescribe rules for the govern ment of others--and to Ahatone too, which is unelectial by. and independent of the na tion. defrerson was for applying a remedy to this "CA'utlier" as be termed. "before its venom should reach so much of the body po litic as tri get beyond the control of the peo ple." He regarded 'public functionaries in dependent of the tuition, as a solecism io a Republic, and advocated the policy of reduc ing the terms of this Court to four or six years.

The Governor states the cause of his res. ignation• to be the failure of ex-Presideet 1 , Pierce to ful fi l the pledges made at the time of his acceptance of the appointment.: The promises of Mr. Pierce, he says, were to sup ' pert hint (Geary) with the United States ar l-lity, the militia, .and. the Treasury, ilnecessa- Iry ; 'but instead of receiving .this aid, either . . in men or money, front the President, he hai paid $15,000 nut of his own poeket,for the..

Judge Lecompte thwarted' him on all 4=3,- 1, sions, nod Irwin:). means to execute his juili- vial deerees, was enabled to overrule him in every important measure. . - Again, throughout his whole official he has been an object of hatred .to an organ-. ized and sworn band -of conspirators in Territory. Ile states 'that fitly men were under oath from the day he entered the coun try until he left it, to assassinate him provi ded his official career should 'deviate from that course which they bad marked out for him. His life thus in - constant jeopardy, the judiciary bitterly opposed . to him, the milita-' ry inactive and stubborn, and the Govern ment:without money or means of - any kind, he was necessarily cempel.ed to deeline.--- 1 The Governor 'says, he regrets the step he -I was obliged to take most suicerely, and feels I confident that had he received the assistance promised him, he could have adniinisired the aftiirs of the Territory in a manner ac ceptable to the honest settlers Of both sides. In relation to the robberies, arsons and murders at the. hands of the Pro-Slav - ery ruffians, which have taken place it, Kansas,. the Governor says the half has not yet been told, Ile says: The murder of Buffum by Hayes was one of the most cold:blooded and strocious'afiliirs ever witnessed. The Gover nor reached the .spet a few - moments alter the affair occurred: As the poor fellow was lying upoilie earth in his agonies, the blood g streamin om his wounds, and the cold sweat of ie.a .h upon his brow, he seized the Governor's and, and declared that ,ea tie looked for n cy hereafter, he was innocent I lv of all causes f offence—that it was a moat. foul and unpi:ovoked murder.' .He asked the assassin why be sought his' life or desired to take his preperty-e-that upon his efforts - de- pended . the subsistence of an aged father and mother, a deaf and dumb brother and sister —that be himself was a cripple, and therefore }armless. - Toihis .appeal he was told that he was a "d -4d Abolitionist, and that they intended to destroy the whole of them."— upon which Hayes, one of _ the gang, seized hint by the collar, and placing the pistol against his stomach, shot hint. - The Governor pledged him, while he held his cold . t.and in his Owu,- that he would use all _his power to bring his murderer to justice. " I spent," said the Governor, " five hundred hundred dollars to.have his assassin arrested; and I would have spent five thousand dollars to have done so, if it. bad been necessary."— It is well known that the-Governor had Hayes arrested, but .scarcely was he put in prison, when Lecompte is' aied a writ of habeas cor pus, had him released and set attiberty . upon straw bail. ' Hayes is now in Missouri, and is playing the gentleman. The Governor further states that after the release of Hayes. Surveyor General Calhoun took occasion, in a public Speech upon the Matter, to declare that the discharge of Hayes was. perfectly le gal, and that it was a' mistake to suppose that the Territorial latis were enacted for the ben efit of any other persons than the Pro Slave. ry men. • Speaking of the insult - offered him, which led to the death of Sherrard, the Governor gave a detailed account of the transaction, and the" manner in which his assassination had been previously planned. His own firm ness, however, prevented its executi6n.— Sherrard, the Governor states, with three. others, waylaid him in the hall of the Legis lature. He discovered them, and knew their purpose ; and when Sherrard spoke' to him he made no reply, but passed on, when Sher. rard spat upon his back several times. As soon as the facts became known, a public meeting was held, composed principally of Pro-Slavery men, for the purpose of denoun cing the act. It was at this meeting that Sherrard was shot. When the resolutions were read, Sherrard said that any: _person that indorsed them ,";was a liar, a coward ; and scoundrel." Mr. Shepperd then arose, and stated that he indorsed them, and was neither a liar, scoundrel, ror coward. • Sher• rard then drew his- revolver, and commenced shooting at. Shepperd, who received three balls in his body. Mr. S. then snapped a pistol at Sherrard, but it failing fire, he rush. ed 'upon him and struck'him with his weap on. =, They, were separatA, and Sherrard then drew another pistol and advanced upon Jones, whom be had previously Insulted be. (muse be was a member of the Governor's household. Jones, perceiving his danger, drew a pistol in self-defence; a number of shots were then fired at.the same time, and Sherrard fell: The Governor says that the account of the affair published in The Repub. limn, as furnished by soy ie Mr. Jones, is a tissue of falsehoods from beginning to end. 'Among other things the Governor com plains most bitterly of the annoyances which be suffered in the obstruction and mutilation of his correspondence. The - mail bags, he says, were constantly opened, and all am!. ;tinniest - lons to and fromhiin 'system= operbsuled, and if objectionable, abst Mt McClain, Chief Clerk in the S urver y General's Office boasted of the fact, and ;sta ted diet be, himself had destroyed anti sap• pressed two 'bushels of mail matter.

This points to another fact: that a majority of the Colonies, acting under' just such an idea as Mr. Jefferson embodied ix the omitted-clause, had attempted to abolish the traffic in slaves as' merchandise; bit - their legislation bad hen vetoed. And' yet. we are to be told that the principle that slaves were articles of merchandise, was "an axiom in murals which no one thought, of disputing, - and every one acted habitually upon' .

The following passage in it recognises a state of sentiment directly the reverse of Abet as serted by Judge Taney to exist at thaf time : "The abolition of domestic Slavery is the greatest object •of desire in these Colonies, where it was unhappily introduced in, their inc fast state. But, previous to the enfranchise , rnent of the slaves, it is necessary to exclude Ifurther importations from Africa. '" Yet our repeated attempts to effect this by prohibition, and by imposing duties that might amount to prohibition, have been hitherto defeated by his Majesty's negative; thus preferring the immediate advantage of a few African cot. sairs to the lasting interests of the rr.eris*il: I States, and the rights ofhurnan nature, deep-1 I ly wounded by thls . infamous practice."—: l American Archives, 4th Series, vol. 1, p. 696.

We have hitherto omitted to notice the fact that the Postoftic4 has been restored to Little Mead. , ows, (from which it was retuoi.ed , ,not for g ago, as too ilepublicatra neighborhood to be accommodated by the P. 0.

Probably none of the natyves' were capable. tlir Messrs. Lebo, Menear And Wagnnseller, Dem ocrats, voted for Cameroh for C. S. Senator, And thereupon there arose a united cry from the dougliface press throughout the State, that these men had been bribed to vote as they did. But they still remain members of the house, and vote regularly with their party, against the Republicans. Why don't the Dem ocratic majority in the Rouse expel them for bribery and corruption? rir Not long since, Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes delivered a lecture, in which be took the ground that the people were degenerating for want of limestone out of which to manufacture the neces.-utry bone and muscle. The Albany 'Atlas' disputes the theory of Dr. Holmes. The editor says that the trouble with the men of= New England Li, "that they are (like sharks) running all to head, and the bead running all to mouth."

'New York, March 10th, 1857." t ar The Southern Democratic journals denounce the suggestion made by Mr. Buchanan in his Inaugu ral, that the government should aid in constrycting a military'road to the Pacific. Then Mr. Buchanan will have to Withdraw the suggestion, or, at least,his Partisans in Congress will refuse to act upon it ; for what the South condemns cannot be Democratic, ac cording to the modern definition. It was once Dem ocratic for Congress to exclude Slavery from the Ter ritorica, and the Democrats and Democratic papers in this region were loud in favor of that doctrine; but the South decided that it was beAt to take that ques tion out of Congreis and let 'popular sovereignty' decide it, and then that became Democratic doctrine. Now the Supreme Court, speaking on behalf of the South, harp decided that neither Congress nor the people of a Territory have the right to exclude Slave ry, and now, therefore, that must bt Democratic doe . trine. What wrenchings the : poor Democratic partisans in the North must suffer, to enable them to undergo the changes necessary to retain their standing as Democrats! The poor fellows don't know when they go to bed at nigh; what political principles they will profess next morning. AR AVATEIJA Posrmasrrn.—A striking instance of the vanity of limn= expectations occurred recently in a thriving coalmining village, in a neighboring county. A certain aspiring individual, who claims ' to have done the State—or, rather, Mr. Buchanan—. some service in the late campaign, was an applicant for the Postoffce In the village. He laid his plansju diclously. as he thought..' At length . , matters - being "Ott a train, ° and a special agent—the Postmaster under , Pierce—having been dispatched to Washing ton to get the appointment effected, the aspirant felt quite secure, and even went so &r as to announce his appointment, and that be already had "nta 'Aram" in his pocket.
