It is confidently asserted that Mr. Mkhkdith,

manner in which that lamentej man exorcised

Correspondence.
Lctltt from Philadelphia,
! March 10, 119.
j Editor Columbia lUmoeiut;
1 The Supieiiiii Court ot nuipi lu of
this cily,' has heun engaged for stveml days last
week, 111 developing an extraoidinary conspira
cy cahe tu place a sane man in a L malic Avsylmn
lor the purpose of depriving him of his properly.
Morgan Uinihu n, a citizen of IJucks county,
it appears in testimony, when in Philadel
phia attending Market, was abducted, (at the in
stance of his wife, and mother,) by Samuel Rich
ie, tt al, and most unceremoniously placed in the
insane assylum. He was continued in keeping
some three months, before even his friends in
this city knew that we was at all in confinement.
As soon as bin situation was discovered he was
released, and he has instituted proceedings a
gainst said Richie and others as above, and laid
his damage at $10,1100. Wnut appears most re
markable in this cae, is the fact, that the par
ties inlireiited in the "bold conspiracy," were
broad-brimmed and straight-coated (Orthodox)
Quakers, who are able,and will doubtless be com
pelled tu pay well lor ,their unnatural proceed,
ings.
Not unlike tho above named case, anc next a
kin to it, in attrucious rascality, is (he recently
developed and exploded project attempted in N.
York, to extort ft.'iO.QOU from Wni. B. Aslor, the
Milliotiire. Some fellows there conceived the
plan, by annoiiymous correspondence of freight
cning.Mr. Aator, on pain of exposure of pretend
ed secrets connected with old John Jacob Aster's
early history, and the threatened destruction of
his own property, out of 50 ,000! The con
templated enterprise was foiled through the vi.
ilenceorthe police, and two of the conspiralois
were secured and committed to the Tombs.
The scramble for "power and place," in "the
no party-party Administration," is almost with
out precedent in political history. Win. Sloan
acre, of this city, A'ativint, succeeds Col. S.
D- Patterton, as Navy Agent here, and it is ru
mored that Peter Sken Smith the most original
Nativisi, will succeed Col. Jamtt Page, us Col
lector of the Port for Philadelphia. Gen. Joseph
Hall, and Gen. A. Diller, are with many others
applicants for the same station, and press their
claims on the seote of having been original Tay
lor Democrats ! Pretty birds !
As Gen. Taylor is Ihe butt of some excellent
bulls, in his new sphere of action, it is but proper
to give him credit for any good acts, among which
the following it the best. A few days before,
Mr. Walker vacated the Treasury Department he
removed, for some cause, one of the whig clerks
who had held office under him, for two or three
years, and appointed in his stead a democrat and
one, too of the most violent school well known
to us. The exasperated ex-official, choking with
the excess of his wrongs, pushed his way vin
lenity into the Generals presence, on til day al
luded lo, and thus briefly told hie tale: "Mr.
President I mean General beg p inion I ton.e
lo say, that Mr. Walkea has infamously rtiisuscd
me, and turned me out of in) place, in order to
provide for one of his locofoco brethern. I ask
from your justice, General, and I know you will
grant it." "Certainiy," replied the President;
"justice is one of the qualities I intend to exer
cise, while the people keep me here. How lon
did you hold your position, prior to removal.'''
"Three years answered the delighted expectant.
"Very well," retorted the President, "at Ihe end
of that time, if I find your successor incompetent
I shall turn him out also, and make room for an
other more capable. Good morning, sir : I am
sure yon will feel that this is the most impartial
justice 1 could show, and doubtlcKS Ihe kind you
seek for." The angVy and abashed clerk took
himself off, cursing his unlucky stars, and in hii
heart vowing lhat the "old man" was fully as
Uoiiifh as fame had repiesented him lo he, and
just about a Prady. Hut he did not relih thin
mode of dispensing justice.
The Senate of the United States have declared
the election of Gen. James Shields, as Senator
null and void. His imprudence has proved hi
ruin, bv writing bombastic letters. The slant ct
his pen has tarnished the lustrue ol his sword,
nulwer says
" Beneath Ihe rule of men cntiielv creat,
The pen is mightier than Ihe sword."

He does not oppose a bill and then by a

love for corporations. You never catch
him voting toexelude the individual liabili-j

The Inquirer gives Ihe billowing sketch of the
reply of Lf -President Polk to the Speaker of the
Viiginia Ilouie of Delegates, last Tuesei ay, on Ihe
occasion of his reception at U.chmond by the i-tatc
authorities : i
Mr. Folk, iii reply, spoke very warmly
and eloquently of the very high eompli j
ment in being thus received by ihe legisla- j
ture of a Stale, for w hich he held the most '
profound veneration, and from sipostels he j
liad drawn and gathered up his appreeia-!
lion of dim principles of constitutional lib-
erly. He said he was takn by surprize j
in the flattering reception extended to him (
by the repicsentativcs of Virginia, and he j
should regard it as the highest honor of his !
life. To be so received having just laid j
down power, and no longer clothed with j
the patronage of the government, filled him i
with gratitude. He had been most labor j
iously engaged during his administration, ,
and had endeavored, Io the best of his 1
ability, to discharge llie arduous duties
