Letter ironyAl Jamesi Buchanan.'
. .•
We are indebted to a frierid, says the Pennsylva
nian, fora copy of the following letter sent by the
lioft..J.AMEe BUCHANAN, in reply to an invitation
on the part of the Democratic citizens of Berks
county, to-the Harvest Home, which took place
near Reading on Saturday kat. It is a production
that speaks for itself. 'Written on a most interest
ing subject, it will command attention by the
clearness and power with which that subject i s
'discussed—a subject, let t us add, which has assum
ed a moat serious, ifmomentous, aspect:
• WAS NGT4N, 25 August 18.17.
GENTLEMEN: I . I) ve been honored by the re-I
ceipt of your kind in Ration to unite with the De
mocracy 'of Old Berke in their Harvest Home cel
ebration to be held at Rea :lug on Saturday, the
28th instant. 1 should esteem it both a pleasuie
and a privilege to lie present on that interesting oc•
casion: it is therefore, with regret I have to inform
you, that my public duties during the present
week will render this impossible.
I rejoice to observe that the glorious Democracy
of "Old Becks - are buckling on their armor, and
' preparing for the approaching contest. It is long '
since any State election has involved such import-,
ant consequences for the Democracy olthe Union '
as the approaching election for Governor of Penn
sylvania. On its result may probably depend the.
ascendancy 01 the Democracy of the Union fur'
years to come. Hence our Democratic brethren,
of other Status are witnessing the contest with in
tense anxiety. The field is a fair one; our carob
date well-tried, able, and honest; and he has been
regularly nominated by the party. Should he be
defeated, the attempt will be vain to explain the
decision of the ballot boxes, in any other manner
than by admitting that the Whigs have the majot
ity. Our candidate for Canal Cominissioner is, al-j
sr.), above all reproach, personally and politically,'
'and is eminently qualified Mr the duties of that ital.'
portant office. It, under such circumstances, the
Democratic Keystone should give way, there is'
great danger that the arch may tumble into pieces.
In this contest, emplizatically,be that is not liar us
is against us. Ido not apprehend defeat, unless
our wily foe should first lull its into security by
making no extraordinary politic efforts; and them
at the eleventh hourquietly steal a inarch upon us
as they have done in aome other states. Our vigi
lance ought to be constantly 01, the alert, until the
moment of victory.
lbesspiestion of slavery, in one of eta ancient
aspects, has been recently revived and threatens to
convulse the country. The Democratic party ot
the Union ought to prepare themselves in time for
the approaching storm. Their best security, in
the hour of danger, is to cling fast to their time
honored principles. A sacred regard for the Feile
cal constitution, and the reaervssl rights of the
states, is the immovable basis on which the party!
can alone safely rest. This has saved us !ruin the •
inroads of abolition. Northero Democrats are nut
expected to approve slavery in the abssract; but
they owe it to themselves, as they value the flown,
and all the political blessings which bountifully
flow from it, to abide by the compromises ot the
constitutiomand leave the question where that in
strument has left it, to the states wherein slavery
exists. Our fathers hate made this agreement
with their brethren of the South; and it is not for
the descendants ot either party, in the pre,ent gen
eration. to canc.. kilts solemn compact. The alio
litionists, by their effints to aortal] it. hate arrested
the natural progress of emancipation, and done

Death of Silas Wright.
• We observe that the death of this great states
man is felt by our brethren of the press, without
distinetiv of party, to be a national calamity.
lie died suddenly—he passed away fram the gaze
of the,nation, not like a meteor, but like some
bright particular star in a moment disappearing,
passing away forever, while the eyes of half a con
.!inent were fixed upon it. Sums WRIGHT was a
good man; and our loss h his gain. He left the
world with his honor unsullied, his patriotism un
doubted; and though he had reached three score
and five years, yet his intellectual faculties were
never more bright or powerful. ...Democracy has
lost one of her strongest and most beautiful pil
lars; the people have lost one of their truest
friends---one of the stoutest champions of their
rights; but though the heart , will heave its sighs,
and tears
.will flow unbidden, yet submission to
the dispensations of Providence is our duty, and
that-withlut murintiritir„. The great in intellect,
the good, the wise, the honored must die, as well,
- "as the'"
tiornble and obscure—all must pass through,
the-dark vall i ey; but there is another and a better
would, where Death cannoenter r —where alfec lions
never can be severed. We should endeavor so to
live, that when we also shall depart hence, Death
Will have no terrors. Silas Wright sprung from
the people—he was a self-made man; and in such
men as him the confidence of the people is never
misplaced. Had he desired the honor, he might
have been President; so the ambition of office—
the" pride of place—can never be associated with
his- name or character. His political enemies
mourn, his loss, and we have no reason HOW to
:doubt their sincerity. The New York Tribune
says, "Mr Wrighrs death is at this moment a cal.
amity to the American people and to the cause of
Universal Freedom."

HABEAS CORBOS CASE.
THE COMMONWEALTH EX HELAT/ONE W. H. TAYLOR,
IPYTIUS
THE SHERIFF AND JAILOR Q.F 'ALLEGHENY COUNTY.
The prisoner was corniiiitted on 'the warrant o
the Mayor of the City of Pittsburgh, for the lar
ceny of one trunk and one travelling bag, and oth
er articles of the property of Nelson .Wvis; the
said articles being charged as having been - stolen
in the City of Detroit, in the State of Michigan ;
and the Jailor is reqp,ired safely to keep the pris
oner until duly demanded by the proper authorities
of Michigan, or until discharged by due course of
law.
The larceny, if any, appears to have been com
mitted by eloping with the wife of the prosecutor,
Nelson Davis;_and by their taking with them
without the consent of the husband—the articles
specified.
Mr. MMahon appeared for the prisoner.; and
Mr. Oyster fot the prosecutor.
OPINION OF JUDGE LOWRIE
From the evidence in this case, I think a grand
jury might properly finil that the prisoner went to
Detroit, and became intimate with Mrs. Davis, the
wife ol the prosecutor, during the absence of the
prosecutor from his horse- = that she eloped with
' the prisoner to Cleveland, for the purpose of living
in adultery with him; carryi ng .i with her a trunk,
traveling bag, &c., the property of her husband_
and that there they lived sonic days in adultery—
that then they came on to Pittsburgh, carrying the
said articles with them, and lived in the same way ,
here—and that the prisoner still conceals from the
prosecutor the place where . his wife is to be found.
Under this state of facts, the question arises.—
whether the prisoner is guilty of larceny of the!
trunk and traveling bag; that being the offence
with which he is charged in the commitment
The counsel for the prisoner insists that this is.
no larceny;' because, so far as appeiirs, the goods •
ate still in the same custody that they had been in
before the elopement—that is, actually in the pos
session ol the wile, and constructively
,in that of
the husband—that even if the prisoner had any
hand in their removal (which is denied) there is I
no larceny, because the animus fueandi—the intern
awn of appropriating to his own use—is wanting; An Important Low Case.

la ,
w an t u i , r the t,,
crimes, exists in Michigan as it does here.
1 If tie consider this case on authority, we find it
expressly decided. Thus in New York, Pruple vs.
Schuyler I; ('stern 572—it has been decided by the
;Supreme Court that it is felony for a man who
. elopes with another's wife, to take his goods,
though with the consent and at he solicitation of
the wife, and the Chief Justice cites authorities for
this: WI. Country Juslirc, , so.l. lirt,rscll on C. ;ze.,.
127. Dalton is cited as saying that “if a man
takes another mans wile, and with her tier hus
band's goods, against the husband's will, this is
felony."
So iii the 'ease of Regina vs. To //rt 4- Taylor, 47 .
Eng. C. L. R. 1 17—s.woman eloped with adulter,
er, and they took with them her clotlon,q, being
her husbands property; and it was held that if
Taylor, the defendant, took away or joined with
her in taking away any of the hushand's property,
there then being a criminal intention, or their hay,.
ing been a criminal act between the prisoner and
the wife, he is guilty of larceny.
So also in the case Rex vs. To(free, Ry. Non.,
C. C. R. 2.13, 11 Ru g C. L. 11. 69 n.—the cries
tion was similarly decided by all the twelve judges
in a case where it was clearly proved that there
was none of the property but ,what the wife had
taken, or given to the prisoner to take,
It is possible that the case of Regina vs. Ro , en•
berg, Eng. C'. I. R. 233—is somewhat in opposi
tion to these c sns; but I do not see that it is, and
at all events, it is not of equal judicial authority.
It is said—and it may be true—that all this is
judicial legislation,—that it'is nicking acts crimi
nal by construction. l3ut how can I, a civil judge,
called upon to try a Habeas Corpus case, venture
against such a weight of authority to say that this
is not the law? I can discharge this prisoner, so
that he cannot again be arrested; but would it be
proper for me thus to invade, in at leas , a doubt
ful ease, the province of the criminal court and
jury? 41 is not for me, in this proceeding, to ov
errule these decisions, even if ('were disposed so
to do,—which I certainly am not.
It is said that the existence of the facts, neces.
sary to constitute the offence, is left extremely un
certain by the evidence, and this is very true. But
the criminal elopement is in no sense doubtful,
and the uncertainty as to other facts is caused by
the act of the priioner in corning away with his
partner in crime to such a distance from the place
-where the affair originated and where the witnes.
ses reside, and to his careful concealment of the
adultress here from her husband. The leading
fact being clearly praied, we are lelt to the largest
inferences—we no longer require the same strict
ness of proof of other facts, but in this stage of
the proceeding and in odium spoliatoris we infer,
many things, which under -other circumstances we,
should require to be proved. And even if it should
turn out that the prisorier is notsuilty of larceny,
still he has no right to complain. His imprison
ment is a legitimate result of his own misconduct.,
If he has not feloniously invaded the prosecutor's '
right of property, he has done what is generally I
considered terribly more injurious to another, if

not more degrading to himself He has basely
defiled and sundered a most sacred connection; and
trampled upon rights sanctifiedin the estimation
of men and in the judgment of heaven, and he
could pot expect to escape with impunity. He
must abide the investigation of his case befoii the
proper tribunals. He is now held merely until
demanded by the proper authorities of Michigan.
I have no power to take bail that he will appear
and stand his trial at Detroit. I know not how
he is to get released here, except by the delay of
the authorities of Michigan in demanding his sur
render. An unreasonable delay would entitle him
to his discharge.
The prisoner is remanded to the custody of the
Jailor.
It is the fashion of some minds, small ones int
deed, to treat every thing which is new, or incom_
prehensible to them, or contrary to the received
opinions of mankind, as Ell.llO/I and, without ex
amination, they set them up and tilt at them, in or

tellectual superiority. A wise man will investi

Alchemy was a curious thing in its time; some de
nounced it as of the devil, while others' sought
through its means to find the Pliilos4ber's Stone,
and the 'Elixer of Life; both were in error, but
Science was the gainer in the end. Coleridge say , :
There are errors which no wise man will treat
with rudeness while there is a probability that
they may be the refraction of some great truth
as yet below the horizon." And Edmund Burke
says: "Nothing tends so much to the corruption
of science as to suffer it to stagnate; these waters
must be troubled before they can exert their vir
