question. It is Atlas Um knowledge atilt mast wriest
to polities that no Netmeratio administration has ever yet
moped the shafts of the disappolstell, or the d ' Cation
efltho opposition: No great measure, brought forward
.4 urged upon the country by the Iftlicierstic party, has
eseaped the ordeal through which theitaneas question is
now gobs., sad home It NSW strung. that, with all the
lights of the past before them,—with the question, " Did
you ever Maw a Dimescratie administration go wrong on
a great question," answered by history in the - negative
that Democrats should yield to the clamor of fanaticism
unit join bands with the oppooents of their party in en
attempt to breakdown an administratiosi they have Jost
alevated to powir. It is no new thing, this elamor of the
llPPoilitiok that our friends should be startled out of their
propriety by it. Gin. Jackson eneotunered it though his
Wire eiikt years Is the Presidential ehair. No measure
that hepOse . d—no policy that be ad•oeated_vms, did
not meet the mem clamor, sad enftanter similar defection
at the . hasids of trusted loaders of the party—and yet to
day we desk 'whether there is a Democrat io the Union
that will not say that as was right on all great questions!
And what is lane of Gen. Jackson's administration is also
true of Mr. Van Boren's, Mr. Polk's, and Gen. Pierce's.—
I The Independent Tftasury--the Tariff of '46—tbe innova
tion of Texas,—the War with Mezioo--and the acqUisition
of California, are hMtorical evidence of the negative an
-1 ewer to the question of Our ootemporary, " Did you ever
know a Demi i.Matie administration go wrong on ;Arrest
question." And ift it liNt be when history records the
events of the present day They the Administration of
Esßucatusis,like these of his illoatrknis predecessors,

em. "lOU present another record similar to that which
marked the periods when, Hugh L. White and N. P. Tel-
Madge 7 escused their defection by claiming fealty to the
principles of theparty. The biatoryof the past is fall of waft
ing to the present. Let th'e muses pause and redeet,and when
they see or boar the Kansas policy of the present Adminis
trades deamineed, let them look at the fate of White and
of Ttilinadge, sad ask themselves, "Did you r know, a

THE PRESIDENDS SPECIAL XESSAG It
We are sure every friend of law will read with pleasure
the Special Menage of the President on the ellibuster
question. A gentleman remarked in our presence th°
other day *tat a 'conflict bad been going on in this coun
try for some time 'between law and opinion, and that he
was /lad to see that the Executive had, in the case of
Kansas and Nicaragua, declared his determination to
stand by the foie. We thought the remark pertinent and
to the point. The President is the Executor of the /owe,
and is bound by his oath of nine to see them enforced, as
well in regard to Nicaragua as In Kansas, even in, the face
of public opinion. And hence, in his special message, widish
• We agile commend to our readers attention, while be freely
admits what every body must see is I fact, that Cots.
.Pirt.rotwo exceeded his instructions in lending on a for
'lgo soil to arrest W•LICEn, he reiterates his Axed deter•
mination to enforce the neutrality law of the country.—
In regard to the gallant Commodore the President states
that when Nicaragua complainant his invasion, it will
be time for this government to eall hies to".an aocukat.—
In this view there are few at the North who will have the
hardihood to rake as issue. And as for the South, it is
very true that a few fire-eatars wish to set op opinion
against kw on this question, .ittat as their prototypes here
at the North desire to set up opinion against law on the
FAIIIMS emetics—but the " sober second thought of the
people"--the,eonterratiem of both aeotioa—will sustain
this President in the discharge of his duty In both cases.

Black, on this occasion, met the waratasi expo
tagons of his friends. The long time he bad
been upon the bench, and the eonsqleint desuetude
frobtriblio speaking, has not detracted from the
- poieri of his eloquence. In -*peaking of his
- return ;to the forum, the correspondent of the
United Suites Gazette says :-
-
Although nolsublie notice had been given, the
attendence at the Supreme Court, this morning,
disclosed that an occasion of more than ordinary
interesthad-exoited attention:sod drawn together
so large a representation of men eminent in the
legal profession and in the walks of public life.
It had become known that Judge Black was to
make his debut before the august tribunal in his'
official capacity of Attorney General, and dull
curiosity of the profession, as well as the anxiety
of personal and political friends, was necessarily
stirred to witness that first appearance which is
too often the false standard for estimating merit
which may, under such constraint., be but imper
fectly developed. The ease—United States vs.
Henry Cambuston—pending was one of impor
tance both in value and in principle, being an
I appeal from the United States District Court of
California in a land claim, the decision of which
may involve a precedent of large concern to the
public and the government. Conspiracy, fraud
and forgery were charged as forming the basis of
this claim, and as the moans by which it had
successfully eluded the scrutiny of both the Board
of Commissioners and the Court below. In these
respects it was well calculated to call out what
may not be inaptly calltd, and will be quickly
appreciated by those wholtnow hii forte, the sur
gical ability of the Attorney General.
Without stopping to preface the cause by any
of the personal references so common and so mis
placed on first occasions, ho went at once directly
to its legal examination, reviewing and analyzing
the testimony with searching precision, exposing
the woikoess, tearing aside the flimsy ,covenng
of false pretence, and with scorching sarcasm
cauterizing the wounds so recently opened
The legal propositions seemed to be uttered with
an abrupt consciousness of assured authority,
and the points were presented in forcible, jerk
ing, and sinewy sentences, that almost startled
from their freshness of style, and the absence of
'accustomed prosy formality. What appeared
most to fix the attention of the court and audience,
was the continuous and consistent logic, in which
the argument wits sustained in all its parts, hold.

There was some apprehension from Jude-

him for the encounters of intellect that must be
expected in this great theatre, where only the
master winds are engaged. Ityleed when his,
allotted time expired to-day, hcianconeiously ad

fact, "I have no experience in this business---sit

ability and skill exhibited in this opening effort
fairly relieved all anxiety, and have established
his position wbere it may be contemplated with
pride and selisfaction by the people of Pennsyl
vania; for whatever may be their differences of
politipfll opinion, the reputation of an eminent,

we are able to cull some facts ,not given in pre

"Mr. Magraw, the Superintendent of the road

company of soldiers of the mustang order, for

Some months ago one Mr. Bannatyne—an

quantity of goods, and six or seven me n . His
intention was to proceed up the great Saskatch

village at the northern extremity of Lake Win•

Mr. Bannatyne was unceremonkoasly seized and
imprisoned by Mr Barnston, the. Hudson's Bay
official in charge There he was detained until
the boats arrived from York Fort with the Rifles
from'Canada. Mr Sinclair, a Chief Factor of
the Company, c.a.; in ehary of the host s which
brought up the 'Riflemen lie brought Mr. Ban

gaee him up to Mr Tavigh, the acting Governor
of the Colony. The question was now what
putishment !.hould be inflicted on this culprit,
Bannatyne, for having dared to trade in the ter
ritories of the Company' While arrangements
were going on, a storm of indignation was arising
throughout our LH. , Colony, that threatened
the forcible expui-e - No of Company, Riflemen and
all, and compelled the release of Mr. Bannatyne.
He is now free, and has universal sympathy on
his ride: How long will this state "a things

Major Andre on „ilia return from West. Point.
The Evening Post, in a sketch of the Commo

cousin, and was born in the adjoining oounty of
Machu. Commodore Paulding was born at the
old homestead. His entry in the Navy as a
let, 4411.
He is 'said to be indebted to Washington Irving
for his naval appointment, and an intimacy has
long existed between the two families Directly
after his entry in the Navy, the war of 1812
broke out. Paulding, then a mere boy, saw
some little service, and wan on the Constitution

was made a Lieutenant in 1816, when but twee-
ty.one 6t two years old, 1820 found him a Lieu:
tenant on board the old frigate Macedonian,
Capt. John Downes. He passed three years,
1824 to 1327, in the Pacific, partly on board the
United States. In 1830 he joined the Constitu•
tion, a second class frigate of 36 gun since cut
down to a sloop, as her First Lieutenant, on her
cruise np the Mediterranean, under Captaiti` S
Wadsworth. His promotion to the grade of
Commander took place in February, 1837. In
1889 be was given command of the twenty-gun
sloop Levant, then attached to the Weill India
squadron, under Cow. Da/las.
Paulding, now a man of over fifty, received
his Captain's commission February 29, 1544
Last at sea -in '39, he was now. in 1846, given
in command of the twenty-gun Vincennes, wbich
together with the Columbus formed our East

took command during, the following year, of the
frigate St. Lawrence, then on her separate crui..4
