The Administration forces in the norm are changing their tactics in regard to the plu. rality rale, and now think they may elect a disunionist for Speaker should Mr. Ilionatix's resolution be accepted. They expect to corn_ petthe Soath Americans to cote for Bococa, MuLsoir, .or Ilkarirox, against SnansiArt. Some of those so vociferous against the plu rality, a few days ago, arc now looking at it with favor ; and the Southern argument, that it is Uneonstitutional, is being quietly given up, in view of the fact that it may result in the election of a Southern Speaker! Every. thing Is made subservient to one end here, so far as the Administration and the disunlonists have control. The Opposition are, neverthe less, ready to try the plurality, and think they cantlefeat the Administration. A few days will settle the question. ,Since yesterday, the name of Jens Mort stiN, of Pennsylvania, has been freely and fa voyably canvassed for the Speakorship. Should the effort to secure the election of Mr. Sinn- MA'S - iwoVe to be ineffeCtual, many of those voting for biro feel Strongly disposed to Mr. IlrotaLtx. All the rebel or anti-Lecompton Domocrats, with one exception, are said to be matte vote for him, and their strength, added to the full Republican vote, would elect him. While Mr. HICIMAN himself continuos stead!. Ipto support SUSIMAN, tho latter avows his readiness to vote for any good man who can rally a larger vote of the enemies of the Ad ministration and of the secessionists. loni lilunnua's election would be a splendid triumph of the , independent Democrats who have resisted -the treacheries and frauds of the General Administration. It would be a just tribute to a noble and patriotic spirit—to the men rho, of all- others, has stood most ably by the pledged faith of the Democratic party. He would make a Speaker Of sUrpaising ability. If the Republicans de sire to"pay a significant and satisfactory coal pilinent to the ti rebels," let them elect Some MOIIIIIOI to the Speakership. I would regard it as a far more complete and generous en dorsement of the integrity and sincerity and justice of our position - than the election of any one of our friends to any other position. M Speaker of the House, we should have in Thoatus a Pennsylvanian, body, brain, and 110111—a statesman of commanding ability, and a patriot who door not know fear. Such a tri umph would ho a grand sequel to our great stri4glo against the despotism of Janus By -0 ItANAN. J. W. F. The Fine Arts. It gives no satisfaction to state, as Indicating the feelrng for the fine arts in this oity, that the visitors to the Aoudomy of Fino Arts, to see the beautiful and poetic painting ".Parasina," from Byron's poem, and Lnay'a prize picture of " The Pilgrim Fathers," have been very numerous since our last notice. The .pletures, so diverse in their subject and foiling, aro very fine, and show the character istic, differences betwoeu the English and French schools. The welllinown pietare of Thu Mar tyrdom of John Hass," and half a dozen gems of cabinet paintings (these last for sale) are also on view. In short, lbere Is really a piotsre gallery there. Mr. Lney's painting of "The Departure of the Pilgrim Fathers from England", has been admirably engraved, In England, and impressions originally sold at $2B aro on sale, by Mr. Banks, at the Academy, for s2'. The force of cheapness cannot go much farther. Dr. Solgees Lectures. Dr. Bolger, who is well known (partionlarly to the Eastern States and New York) as an excellent lecturer, commeneel a course of six lodates, on next Tuesday evening, on " The four first Centu ries' of the Christian Era, In their bearings upon Modern Civilisation." They will be doliverod•en Tuesday and Friday evenings, in the spacious He. loon •of Messrs. Chickering 'lh Bona, 907 Cheat - ant a!reet. We believe that these lectures will be well worth hearing, because we know that Dr. Bolger is a very accomplished man. In Ethnology especially, he has accumulated a vast quantity of information, and his lectures upon that subject have won the praise of those whose commendation confers reputation. • Particulars of the course in this city will he advertised this week. . - DneNen ro Ifotr.

Cal houn vs. the supreme Comt of the United States. In all popular governments, and especially in our own, the people are always hostile to attempts to limit their control-doer tinportant political affairs. They are necessarily obliged to depute certain well-defined powers to their xecut ves and Legislatures, but they watch [ with scrutinizing eyes all attempts on the part lot their servants, to arrogate to themselves powers which have not been definitely confer red, and to limit the rights of the people. While they aro thus jealous of Presidents, Governors, Congresses, and Legislatures, they can illy brook any efforts to limit the scope of their legitimate political action, made by jtidgpa of courts. The groat body of the American people are devoted to the preser !seitio#,Sef law and order, and ready to extend a cheerful acquiescence to all judicial deci sions' which aro properly made, on the trial of disputed questions, where the issues are fairly joined, and all the conflicting in terests aro fully represented. But when any court transcends the legitimate sphere of its duties, and, not content with expressing a judgment upon the questions legitimately brought before it, goes beyond this duty, and boldly entering the political arena, discusse d a wide range of' political topics of vital public Interest, the American people are too firmly resolved to maintain, in their own hands, the power and right of controlling the govern ment of the nation to yield a full and hearty acquiescence to all the incidental expressions of judicial opinions which may thus be made. It is true that we look with reverence to our great judicial tribunals for the adjustment, on sound legal principles, of all the legal ques tions which legitimately arise, but we rarely look to the Supreme Court of the United States, or to any other court, for the settle ment of the great political issues which dia. tract our country. 'We may look to Con gress,-to the Senate of the United States, to the President, to great National Conventions, to' the-notion-of the people in their elections, but not to any body - of judges, high or low. While - judicial decisions command respect, so far as they aro applicable to the points they really decide, American legislators and Execu tives, under the direction of the people, have always practically maintained their right to discharge their duties as co-ordinate and equal, not as subordinate and inferior branches of the Government. - At the present time, there aro many poli. Solana who seek to give to the Drod Scott decision so broad an application that, accord ing to their thqory, nearly all the vital questions of national politics are authorita tively adjusted by It, and a 4t settlement" thus made, of so sacred a character that it can defy all the surges of public opinion, and en trench itself beyond the reach of the political action of the great body of the Ameri can people. So (hr as the question the Su preme Court really did decide, according to the strict legal view of its decision, extends, this opinion 15 no doubt correct. It has been authoritatively settled that DRED Son, being a negro, was not a eitiaen of the United States, and, therefore, Could not insti. lute a suit in the United States courts; and, unless this opinion is reversed, it must ne cessarily remain a binding law of the coun try. But that the more incidental expressions of opinion by any or all the Judges of the Supreme Court of the United States, on questions not legitimately tha necessarily brought before them for adjudication, aro to control the legislation and the whole policy of tho country, is one of the moat monstrous fallacies that were ever advocated ; and. of all parties, the Democratic is the last which, by its antecedents, its legitimate character, or its former history, would bojustifled in regarding the Judges of the Supreme Court as the au thoritative exponents of its creed, and tho em bodiment of the political wisdom of the coun try; for the Democratic party has, in former times, always boldly Imb:tea upon its right to place its own construction upon the Consti tution, in conducting the legislation of the cotintiy, leaving to the Supreme Court its legi timate duty of passing judgment upon all mooted questions which came before it, and respecting its action so far as it is properly and necessarily called forth, but no farther. The tree ,prOvlnce of judges is to Interpret laws, not to make them; to ace that groat constitutional . rights aro respected, crimes punished, and vested interests protected; but_ riot to direct or control the legislation or the polities'of `the nation. When Mr. Buenas/et alleged hi his mes sage ii that the Supreme Court had tinnily settled the question of slavery in the Territo ries," ho made an allegation which no one better than himself know to be unfounded. Even if the Supreme Mud had decided the question to which ho refers, after it had been legitimately brought before them, no man need ask a better and more conclusive pretext for disregarding such a decision titan that fur nished by Mr. Bueetaxen's own example. Wo have heretofore published an extract front his speech in the United States Senate, on the 7th of July, 1841, when the United States Bank question was under consideration; but, ter the purpose of refreshing the memory of his present adherents, we republish it hero : "Now, If it were not unparliarnentary lan guage, and if I did not desire to treat all my friends on this (Whig) side of the House with tho respect which I feel for them, I would say that the idea of the question having been settled so AS TO BIND TEE CONSCIENCES OF 11E31DEBS Of Congress when voting on the present bill is RIDICULOUS AND ABSURD. Ie ALL TEE JUDGES and ALL TDE LAWYERS IN Cunteemenott had decided in the affirmative, when the question is thus •brought home to me as a legislator, bound to vote for or against a new charter, upon oath to support the Constitution, r mvsT EXERCISE sty OWN einnesenr. I would treat with profound respect the arguments and opinions of judges and constitutional lawyers ; het If, after all, they fail to oonvlaoa nu, that the loW was 00/18111111101183, I SHOULD BE GUILTY 01' PEILIURY BEFORE won HEAVEN if I voted in its favor. But oven if the judiciary had nettled the quits- Con, I should never hold myself bound by their decision while acting in a legislative character. Unlike the Senator from Massachusetts (Mr, Bates), /ihall never consent to place the liberties nfthe people in the hands of any judicial aribu• nal. "No man holds in higher esteem than I do the memory of Chief Juatioe Munition; but I should never have eonsented to mode even him the final arbiter between the Government and the people of this country on questions of constitutional lr terry." • There is also on record a still stronger and more significant expression of opinion In re gard to the power the decisions of the Supremo Court should exercise over the legislation of the country, made by a statesman whose views, particularly in the South, have always com manded much moro respect than those of Mr. BUCHANAN. We allude to JOHN C. Gutters. In 1848, a discussion arose in the 'United States Senate, in regard to the Territorial Government of Oregon. In this discussion, Mr., CALHOUN charged that the Northwestern States, formed out of the Northwest Territory, had neglected to pass proper laws for the re turn of fugitive slaves, and had thus violated the spirit of the Ordinance of 1787. In reply, it was alleged that a decision of the Supreme Court, in the case of "Pennsylvania vs. Prigg," had pronounced all State legislation in regard to the rendition of fugitive slaves to be uncon stitutional. Yet, Mr. °Amiens:, in view of the circumstances under which the decision had been made—lts injustice, In his opinion, and. unsoundness—was free to declare, in so many words, that he did :trot recognise the decision." Tho debate may bo found in the .dppendix to the Congressional Globe, volumo 19, pages 914.16-16, and is particularly In structive from the close parallel between tho circumstances under svhich the Prigg decision, which Mr. CALHOUN tt did not recognise," an' the recent °red Scott decision, were made. We quote a portion of it : "Mr. C.imionar. Mlobigau MB bound to plus lairs to carry out that ordinance. I wish I (moll Oleo my bands upon tho report in reference to the feats presented in the memorial from the Legisla ture of Kentucky. A greater outrage never was committed by one people upon another than in that ease, Insult woo heaped upon injury; and I ask, was the State j ustified in remaining a passive speotater? Again, is it not known, that for years, there have been organized individuals In Michigan, who have run our slave' through her territory into °Maeda? Has she taken any stops to prevent that? I do not say these things willingly, but with grant reluctance. Would it Isere otherwlee! I would rejoice if the stipulations of the Constitution were fulfilled on all 21003; but 1 must say, that there have been renal flagrant violations of those stipule. Ilene, not on the part of Michigan alone, but on tf Almost every ono of the free States. !'Mr. CouwlN. 1 wish to inquire whether the Supremo Court him not expresstv decided that tho States can pats no owl,. laws whatever? !'Mr. CALtiouN. My colleague, who has been haVestigating that subject, will answer the Senator. • "Mr. littruse. The ease which the Senator from Ohio refers to, I presume is that of Pennsylvania vs. Pegg. in which some of the judges of the SuPremo Court ft , Pitertook to deliver opinions on queNtions not really involved, and such as did not fall Within the scope of the.nehorttaetvejudgmedt of the court. The oonetitutiOnal validity of an not of the legislature of Pennsylvania was alone in volved In the liens before the court. The sot made It Is felony for The owner of a fugitive slave to pur• suo and apprehend him within the limits of that State, without pursuing certain statutory proscrip tions that were osioulated and perhaps intended to throw impediments In the way of the owner in the pursuit of his slave, escaping from his service. The defendant hat been arraigned before the State court, and by their judgment was subject to the penalties of the not to pay n large fine, and he put to hard labor for seven years, for no other offence than taking possession, forcibly, of his own pro• party. The Supreme Court unanimously decided that the not was unconstitutional and void, less much as it was a prohibition on the perfect rights of tho owner over his fagltivo slave—his dominion being, under the guarantees of the Constitution, as nerfoot and complete in ono Stotts as to another : in other words, that no State hod tho right, by any State statute, to prevent the owner from appre hending his fugitive alavo. The judgment, in foot, went no farther; buts majority of the judger gave opinions going beyond this, and in their judg roent—individnel judgments, of courso—held that the power to legislate on the eubjeot of fugitive slaves exclusively belongs to Congress: and whilst they hold that, sunder the Constitution, the Staten wore bound to deliver np fugitive slaves, they could be alone compelled to do so by the logislte tton of Congress. From this, these judges con cluded that all the State legislation, whether in tended to retard or facilitate the oweer in the apprehension of his fugitive slave, was uneonstitu tionnl. Seeing the tondobey of those opinions— for they were nothing more than so ninny opine lons. not essentially entering into the judgment of the court—the Chief Jostle° and two others (Thompson and Daniel) filed their own opinions, in whsch they endeavored to obviate such 0011RO• quencea of an Amen:led judgment of the court. "They bold, that the non•shsvoholding States could pass no laws to prohibit the owner from ok. ercising his oonstitutional rights—in rezt aiming hie runaway slave; but that they ctlght make such laws ns would fitollitate the delivery; which the obligations Of Eced faith would scorn to demund at their hands. In the early legislation on the sub ject, such had been the character of. the statutory provisions of most of the States: in other words, it was not wrong to coiipernto by Stole notion to carry out the objects of the Federal Constitution ; whilst they were prohibited from opposing its pro vislona by hostile enactments. The Judiciary Committee—in the report which I had the honor to submit some time ago—took the same view, and gave their unqualified assent to the views ex pressed by the Chief Justin and his concurring colleagues. Justice Baldwin, in more judgments than one, entertained the same views. I submit that the authoritative judgment of the committee, and the opinions of a bare majority of the ;tinges, were essentially different things. When the opin ions shall come to ho exahatiid, there cannot be a question as to,the weight of the argument being in favor of the views of the Chief Justice. Some of the nomslaveholding States have taken advantage of the letter of this decision, and have framed their laws in such a way as to make it criminal for their State officers to give any assistanee In the appre hending and delivery of a fugitive slave. In this it was obvious that the obligations of good faith had been violated. indeed, the detign Seems to be to evade those obligations. "Mr. Osuret. , N. I wopld gate, in addition to the explanation of day colleague, that at the time I regarded that decision as the most extraordinary one ever made. It had been. the practice of the non-slaveholding States to pass quid% laws, anti their constitutional power to , do so had never been questioned. The provision of the Constitution for the recovery of fugitive slaves, is connected with another immediately in juxtaposition with it—the provision for the delivering of fugitives from jus tice. Both crime under what is called extradition treaties, perfectly familiar to every public man. and no well interpreted as any treaties in the world can be interpreted. Every State in then:lion takes an efficient part in the delivery of fugitives from justice. That is the ease, also, with respect to England. I appeal to every man who has ever been in the State Department, whether tho States do not take efficient steps in the delivery of fugi tives from juridic? And shall another provision, standing In the Constitution, worded in the same manner, receive a different and most absurd inter pretation? For, if the States are td Stand by them selves, and make no areas whatever, who does not see that the power of the United States will not be competent to fulfilthe law, if the power of the United States is so very remote that it can never he exercised? The committee has reported a bill with a view to carry into effect the powers of the United States; and we shall ace how the gentleman will act on that bill. Mr. CORWIN. I am perfectly satisfied that the Senator stated the decision as reCorded in our books. It is enough to say that a majority of tho bench have decided the question which I pronosel. t , Jir CAt.nouft. IDO NOT RECOGNISE TILE DECISION." Georgia nud Pennsylvania. Georgia is one of the most flourishing of the elavobolding States, and tho pooplo of the South (and, indeed, of the 'whole country) are proud of her prosperity. nut the remark of ono of her representatives in Congress (Mr. GAnTnEra,) on Tuesday, that "the proceeds of ono cotton crop in Georgia would buy up the whole of Ponnsylvania," is certainly's. very extraordinary piece of statistical information. The compendium of the seventh census states the value of the cotton product of the whole country In 1850 toqbave been $98,008,720, of which Georgia produced 20.41 per coot., va lued at a little more than $20,000,000. As offsets to this Income Pennsvlvitnia had only such small Items to present In 18,50, accord ing to the census compendium as real and personal properly valued at $729,144,9881 an annual product of manufactures, mining, and mechanic arts of $165,014,010; and an annual product of agricultural articles worth, at least, twice as much as the cotton crop of Georgia. The cotton crop of last year Is, no doubt, much more valuable than that of 1050, but the wealth and products of Pennsylvania have also pro portionably increased. Mr. Gan - mates propo sition to purchase Pennsylvania with the cotton crop of his State was, therefore, about as accu rate an adaptation of means to ends as the at tempt of the old woman to mop tip the ocean with her broom and houseeloth. He explained yesterday, howevor, that he had intended to say that the cotton crop of Georgia would buy up all the arms Pennsylvania could manu facture. DIRECTORY-MARINO —When noticing McElroy's Philadelphia City Directory, we accidentally omitted to mention that it had boon compiled with great care and much labor by Mr. W. 11. Boyd, formerly of Now York, and now of this city. In the preface Mr. McElroy fully acknowledges his obligations to this gentleman, who has been en. gaged in dircotorymaking for over eleven years, and has more setual personal experience in this line than Any other person—except Mr. Kelley, of London, and Pirmon Didot, of Paris. We noticed the marked Improvement in McElroy's Directory, and heedlessly passed over the fact that this has been mainly attributable to Mr. Boyd's tact, ability, industry, and experience.

In this drama we have Jason OIL filiiii7ell) about to wed the daughter of Crean, King of Co rinth, (Mr. Young,) a beautiful maiden named Creusa (Mhos Mary Miller). Me has abandoned Medea, his wife, bolieVing that the gods had marked her as tho medial (Moot of their ven geance, and that their union would only load him tO misery end disgrace. Previous to the proposed buptials, Jason departs to chastise the foes of Co rinth. During bis absenep, Medea (Matilda Heron ) arrives by accident at the Corinthian palace, ao. companied by her two children, and eagerly sea:cliin,g for her huabond. She is weary, and, with her children, is almost famishing for food. She encounters Crett+a, who generously relieves her necessities, and from Orpheus, (Mr. Dubois,) an old player, who is her friend, she learns of Ja son's proposed wedding, and his contemplated de. fortiori of herself and his children. In the meantitne, Jason returns, elotins Creum for big bride, and is meet by the furious—calmly, terribly-furious wife, whom be had discarded. An intervietv ensues, which was exceedingly well played by Miss Heron and Mr. Showell. Jaion reproaches her with her brimes, and avows his de. termination to wed Crrusa, and forever abandon her. The King consents to the union, and Jason also claims both of his children, while the King banishes Medea from his dominions, on pain of instant death. Finally, through the intercessions of Orpheus, Jason releases his claim upon one of his children, and bids his wife to choose ono of them and deport. r.either of them will accompany her, a fact which drives her to Puy. She charges Creusa w ith having stolen their hearts, and in a final Interview, whioh is granted by Jason, stabs them. In the meantime .r,mon leads Crewe: to the altar, and they are married. During the performance of the ceremony Creases dies, having been poisoned by a veil which Medea had mortal with deadly poison and caused her to wear. Jason, infuriated at the IMA of his bride, rushes into the palace with Ills sword drawn, eager for the blood of 21/Sdea. He discovers the bodies of his murdered children, a eight which appals him. M•{ea blobs herself, and, amid a scene of general consternation, eutoide, and homicide, the curtain falls. Matilda Heron made Medea a most wonderful perkenation. It pleased us better than Miss Davenport's performs:Lee of the sums being more natural, rarsotivo, and elassie. Some of her wanes wet o wcaltened by indl3tlnot pronun• elation, hut her acting throughout, nod. especially towards the cad, was terribly grand. Allis Miller played Crous,s with her usual oare, but hardly threw enough force into it. Mr Shewell played Jason very well, and dressed the character with commendeblc taste. Mr. Dtthois, so Orpheus, ranted painfully at times, but (with the exception of lila invariable mannerism) played the character better than usual. Mr. Young, as Croon, bed a small pert, which woe well dressed and well played, while Mrs Perry, in the yet smiler part of /0.41/la. deserves Ayala suosallost for hair oxertiont. The play will be performed this evening with the same inlet as before. Ae a singular and re. mantis representation of life imply ages ago, it Is well worth seeing.
