For tks CaztttM. JUDGE PATTON’S OFFICE. Miu Wetix—-In my note of yesterday, I was under some misapprehension as to the facts, ud beg leave to correctthe error. 1 gave the date of Judge Patton’s commission, as stated in a pamph let,- published in 1818, by John &. McFadden. In a ‘•chronological ‘table,” which be famished of <> the Judges and officers ofthe different Courts of: Allegheny County, Pa.” I find the following en> , tries: Benjamin Patton—date of commission, Ju ly t, 183 d, to hold till the end of the next Session of the Senate.*’ “Same, Jan. 22, 1840, for ten’years from date.” 11This would leave the case free from donbt— ud I was so rprised to learn that a majority of the bar “were of opinion that his term cf office was not expired. A friend has examined the re cord—end finds that in truth Jndge> Patton’s last commission Is dated SOth March, 1810 ” *-to bold for.the-period of ten years from the 22djan., 1810," agreeably to the provisions of the constitu tion,dec. - It is this, strange qualification Ofthe tenure, -which creates the difficulty. The Senate had not adjourned on the 20th March, and of course the first commission was in fall operation- Why then does the new parchment overleap the old, ud thus shorten the oonatimtional period nearly two mouths. The Governor could not do this. He has power to ferae a commission to fill a-vacucy, “until tbs end of the Session of the Se nate,” or a commission for the whole term of ten yearn. This last he cannot shorten by running it back opon the former. How.ean this matter beexplained? Z think.only in one way. The Governor issues the first com* mission oisntmei. The office is held subject to the confirmatory action of the Senate. This, I presume,.was had on tha SSd January, 18(0—and { he tenure was fixed for the ten years—and (aa I interpret* the spirit at least, of the Constitution J (ram. the dale of the original appointment. It seems* however, that the Governor thought that a new commisaioh*waa proper* and, accordingly, iuaed ono .on the 20th March; referring hack, however, to tbo real date when the office began, according tolls understanding of the Constitution. If this is not the troth of the case, there.are sever al difficulties involved. Judge Pattons’ first com mission was either operative nntfl tbo 20th March, or he was acting without authority from the 22d January to thit day. No ntnaetiv* power oould be given, by the new commission* titf validate his official agency in that interval. If the commission joflst Ju1y,1839, was In forceuntfl the 20th March* the Governor could not ahorten his constitutional term of tenure by running back upon the other ad interim period.- lam satisfied that be was re* ally nominated and confirmed on-the. 22d Janua* ry, and. that the commission was delayed, Cor some cause not known to us.

Bayly, the chairman, refused for seventeen days to call this committee together. At length, on thol7ih of this month they were "it whwJ | and not even then to consider the appropriations— another meeting will not be heldantil Monday the 81st instant. These fitets taken ut connection with tbe following rumor* may have an impor tance and significance which'cannot be easily ex aggerated. It is reported that certain members belonging to the extreme Southern party have eome here with the deliberate purpose of dissolving tbe Union, that they have openly declared such to be their object, and that if they foil In the efiort to effect it (none mode they wiQtry ethers. The mode now to be attempted is said to be to stop the appropriations I hear from many sources, and from some of the highest respectability, that there ore eaventy Southern member* in the House who stand pledg ed to that coarse. Whether these rumors are strictly and literally trae,’cannot for the present be asserted by any one not in the councils of the persons implicated, in the designs referred to in them- Bui tere we have tbe one remarkable /oat, inexplicable upon any other hypothecs— The committee of Ways and Means refuse to act at all when immediate action upon a specific sub ject is made their duty by the order of the House, It lx trae; as I have before said, tbit the tee have bad two meeting*, namely one yester* day, and another to day, bat the sahject of its do* liberations was-not the appropriations, but Ihe proposition eoDcerniog the expenses of collecting the revenue, which has paamed the Senate.

A general Southern Convention will be held in Jane at which it is already proposed that a Constitution «hal| be formed for a new Southern confederacy. That Council, in my judgement, cannot bo safely, nor constitutionally held The Constitution is ex press in Its prohibition of any agreement between the several stales for any purpose whatever.

All tho Dem ocratic Free Soil men voted for him, as on Thurs day they voted for Mr. Tufts, being anxious to effect an election. On the last trial, it seemed that tho discreditable contest had been ended, by tho choice of Weller, for it was ascertained that ha had 101, against 103 feral] others, when that mar plot Holmes, of South Caroliaa, and a New York Whig came in, jail In timo to save their votes, and two.led tbe opposition to a tie; making the vote stand, Weller 101, all others 104. Thoogh it was late,l confess that I was sorry to hear Mr. Stanley say that the Whige now want ed to adjonrn, and meant to do it, by calling the yeas and nays aotil the Democrats yielded.—-For I would rather see even a bitter Honker, as this Wellerdoabtieas is, elected, than tbe continsanee of the present state of thingi, for even a day long* et. Jumps. Waikpotow, Jan- 20,1650. Hor* of the Dtssolntloa Schemes—Henna of Cotmte motion—Du tjrof the Presi dent—Villainy of Calhoun—Ortfnalxn tlon of the House. In speaking* yesterday* of the rumors that are flying about thickly as force* leave* la autumn, concerning plans and designs hostile to the Integ rity of tbo Union, I should have, said that the scheme of resisting any end all appropriations for the support of Governmsnt was said to be con tingent upon the refusal of the northern member* to cooperate with those from the Booth la the settlement of the slavery question upon x basis fa vorable to the pretensions of the Utter. In cor roboration of the statement I then made, relative to the general disposition among * portion of the southern members to secede, I may add, that more thsn one of them have expressed their fimf belief that this is the last session of Congress that would be held under the present Constitution. A south ern Democratic Senator informed the advocate of a certain important measure, that he considered It of very littie consequence bow his application was disposed or, for that* in the course of a year, be and his friends should have no jurisdiction over matters belonging to this confederacy. His lan guage we», ‘‘the chances are .ninety nine in a hundred that we are on tbo eve of dissolution.* It is the unlvertal belief of those who allow themselves to be disquieted, by tbeae remora of evil brooding, and to come, that Calhoun,' that Sa tanic spirit, and arch conspirator—aa F. P. Blair long since called bins, the modem Catiline—ls the instigator of these fell designs against tho peace and prosperity, nay, tho very existence of hit country. He sits behind and pulls the wires, and moves the poppets upou the board. That he does so was well exemplified In Douglass’ exposure of the trickery of Clemens, tho other day, on the California resolutions. This man, who opetujd his career in the Senate by a most false and libel* loos assault upon the whole people‘of tho North, private citizens, as well as pnblio officers, and cln Thursday appeared to eager in pursuit of a pert Bonn! conflict with Gen. Shields, la well tinder, stood to bo a special tool in Calhoun’s bands. It Is believed that thn leader, who was not la the Senate, Instructed him in planning that identical expedient for getting s sectional vote of North against South, which bo avowed to Douginas, and which the Utter exposed} and that Uwa*,alsoL by Calhonu’s direction, that, after being thus rude ly unmasked, be delivered himself of the fierce de nunciation against tho northern democracy, which incurred the disapproval ef even soph qpirita as Foote, Jeff. Davis,' and Dickinson. Respect for this great oraclo of crime, and muter and patron of criminals, is no part of my nature. I must de% aonaco~bim for that which ho manifestly is,a trai tor tjo his country, and an enemy to liberty and poptjlar government. Re would rather be the despotic chief of a petty and savage elan, than any thing but first In dignity in this mighty sod glorious republic. I cannot speak of him in the language of charity. I have done that in framer years. I have since seen and' staddled more of ' the mss i end believe him to be such u l heye do* nounco him. - How, if disunion be staring us In the face, what istobedonsf Ongbt the north In a spirit of mo" deration and patriotism to retreat from her posi tions on this question. Should the north aid In the application of California for admia aion u a Free State! Should lha Free State* acquiesce in the-client extension of aUvery over the free territory af Now Mnfegf Should w* tolerate i’aeatftinxsaeehcrein thfefcderildj** tries? To aUofthese'queationa, it appear* tome, NO, is the only answer. Bat l would make some concessions to tha Sooth* Under tho constitution wo ore bound to deliver up fugitive slaves. That Is not* well observed.' While aUvgry 4 in any part of the ocsfedexacy a legalized Institution, let us respect it as such. Let tu agree that fugitive ■laves w ihaU be delivered up,* whenthey escape within our borders, and let us make legal pn>* virion for delivering them up. That is ■ great point, and is certainly tie only one upon which we can yield at all. On all the other* ire areal tcgelifer right, and in duty to our country, otoselvcs, and ear potterity, zarrendernn inch, let what will eome. Wo cannot onpremise* If slave representation be extended jto another foot ~ct territory, the Union ennnot stud. If the iastintion be diffhsed yel farther, tho power of control over a different and hostile cows win de port from oar race, and the south wfl] become first a St. Domingo, and then to continent a new Africa.. Wo of tbe Free Sates cannot bo yet briber degraded from oar equality with the whites of tbe south by tbe representation of slave pro. peity in additional stales; nor can wo forever sub mit to ace our fellow creatures booght and told at th« very doors of Ihe capitoL Uis wrong and im politic toreqoirs it ofus. This is neutral ground, and a peculiar, and to as, affective institution, should not be forced upon u» here. I would give increased guarantee* for the eeeorityiof slave property in the slave states, in return for ooa eesrion by the tooth W oar oritrion* and purposes with reference to territories now free.
