LETTER FROM THE EDITOR.
WASHINGTON, Tan. 10, 1860.
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.

James Buchanan and Johu C. 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

!'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.

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.

Matilda Heron rts 46 Meden."
Every classical student 13 familiar with lho
singular and romantio story of Jason and the
Golden Pleoco. How he left his math° shoros on
board tho Argo and sailed to the land of the Ar
gonante ; bow be found the golden treasure cue•
pendod on a tree, in the forapt and guarded by a
feral° dragon; how the king of tho Argonenta
Idonded imepttallly, and welcomed thendven
tureen with the intention of murdering them;
how rkledea, Ids daughter, loved the impetuous
itreek, and, by her powers an a tweet es., put the
d rar ,• on to 6100 p, and placed the time In the hands
of Jason; how they fled from the wrath of the
royal father; how Medea Mow her brother, and,
dividing bin body into frageitents, coattered them
along the groom to detnither sire• In the flight;
how they Bred, loved, and finally hated with a
cordiality worthy of the motierna, and how the
sec mil of their Urea was as terrible en the eireum•
stances of their meeting and their marriage ware
bloody and'unnatural, In, of course, too fan:inlay to
out'readors to be given in detail in a newspaper
criticism.
Out of this fable, without Dila I'f:deeming quality
as a story of hutuan life—lmprobable, unpleasant,
and ntrained—the Grecian Euoipides constructed
hie tragedy of 4 . Medea." With it little elferatioti,
anti without that necessary insipidity so charac
teristic of translations in general, Matilda heron
prosantea us with an English version of it, at Wal•
nut•siroot Theatre, last evening. Tho audience
woe large, though not so large as that to which she
played Camillo" on the evening previous. Tho
reason of this is very plain : Catniilu "is narama
of life as it is today, painful, hut fascinating;
" Medea " is a fable of another people—a people
diteront in tastos, habits, religion, and feolinge
from those of the nincteenth century—the moot
tragic of tragedies, and the Most bloody of bloody
oonooptions. The ono is popular, and always will
continue se ; the other le repulsive to the mind,
and will never be ti favorite with the theatre-going
masses, whoa° tastes for the classics are generally
confined to a fixed belief hi the aistence of Julius
CIONy, and e. aslm aenvlction that Brutus was the
groatett lean that ever lived, excepting George
Washington.
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. "Leehia," a new play from
the French, about which touch has been said and
written, is underlined.

the fraternal feellsgi they entertain for their
e,ontrynten generally who reside in the eeztfer, to
which I belorg lam but too happy to supply
the °vision far zneh asenrancee, of the einceriti of
whi,h I entertain no doubt
The spirit of loyalty to the Constitution and the
Cdtan must have undergone a far greater change,
not only in the great city of Philadelphia, but in
the North generally, within the last five or air
venrs, then I am willing to believe, if say such
treasonable and murderous foray as that of John
Brown and his reckless followert can find any
qymnathy or approval among the great body of
the Northern people. I consider the attempt, for
party purpc , es, to fasten the conviction upon the
3uthern mind of the general prevalence at the
North of such sympathy and approval as an efferce
of the goat eat character, as it is manifest that the
pre.ent excitement and ill feeling between the two
sections is owing in a greet degree to the eorA . tant
and reciprocal efforts of ultra party leaders. of both
sections. to propagate extreme and unfounded
views of the policy of each other on the exciting
subject of slavery.
But I forbear entering further into them topics
tt this time, ai I hope to hays an oTportunity of
expressing my clews more fully, on the occasion of
our contemplated meeting
With renewed acknowledgmenta of the honor
conferredon me, I am, gentlemen. with the highest
regard, yonrobeliont correct, BUIE Parses.
