tution of this tribunal. AU history shows,
that special tribunals, clothed with discre
tiOnory powers over person and property, are
liable to abuse, and have been instruments of
oppression. If in these, the early days of
the Republic, when no reason of urgent State
necessity can be invoked, powers of a high
judicial nature over the liberty and property
of an individual, are to be vested by appoint
ment of an inferior tribunal, in an irrespon
sible person, the security of the life, reputa
tion,:and liberty of the citizen in after-times,
when new political or social emergencies
may arise, will depend on a most precarious
tenure. The courts of the United States,
whose Judges have a pride of character, and
over whom a centrelllng influence is exerted
by the impeachment clause of the Constitu
tion, should aiding, be invested with these ex
traordinary powers.. Rather than hazard the
chanees of illegal decisions, and the conse
quent irreparable injury of an individual, re
sults so full of danger to the peace and good
order of society, the Judicial power of the
Nation might wisely be extended. If it be
deemed expedient to deny a trial by Jury,
add lodge the adjudication of this right of
property in the breast of a single Judge, the
kind of proof required should be indicated,
and a full record of the entire proceedings be
made and preserved. Processes issued
should be returned, and the extradition of
any colored person, for whose arrest a war
rant had issued without hearing had before
the Judge, should be visited with the penal
ties of kidnapping. These modifications of
the law, while they could not interfere with
the rights of the owner of the fugitive, would
greatly tend to satisfy the minds of citizen
anxiously desirous to perform their constitu
tional duties.
One othermatter, connected with our Fed
eral Relations i claims your attention. It is
the Union of the States, • and the dangers
which are supposed to threaten it in connec
tion with the question of Slavery. Whether
Slavery be the cause or pretext of infidelity
to the Union,. and to what precise extent
disaffection exists, it is riot my purpose to
enquire. There was local disloyalty long
before Slavery became the immediate source
of excitement, and there will be local dis
loyalty long after Slavery and the questions
connected with it are finally adjusted. But
be the cause what it may, it is in vain to deny
that the Union of the States is lightly and ir
reverently talked of in certain quarters, and
made the subject of heated discussion by
rash and unreflecting men. I cannot be
lieve, however, that any serious design to
disrupt and otherthrow the Government ex
ist, to any considerable extent in any por
tion of the country. The American heart
revolts at the idea.
What is the National Union I It is the.
basis of constitutional right, the guarantee of
peace, the security of religion ; the bulwark
of all law and order. It gives the surest
pledge of protection to the oppressed child
ren of other lands, who coming from scenes
of misery and discord, expect here harmony
and peaceful refuge. It is literally "a bea
con on the top of a mountain and an ensign
on a hill" to the lovers of rational liberty
throughout the world. It was an emanation
of the same pure spirit of conservative free
dom, of justice, and of truth, which conceiv
ed, controlled and consummated our Revolu
tionary struggle. It is the perfect work of
disciplined intelligence and rational patriot
ism. It is hallowed by the rich memories of
the past, and by the consciousness that its
founders were the fathers of the Republic.
It is sacred, as the sole remaining memorial
of the enlightened labors of the best minds
of an age, distinguished for its devotion to
the cause of human rights, the elevation of
man's social condition the investigation of
political truths, and of revolutionary action
against the dogmas and fanaticism of tyran
nies and tyrants.
The Union of the States is the outer and
inner wall, which encircles and guards the
temple of our independence. Tho Union
alone secures to our commerce protection on
every sea, defence to our citizens on every
shore, gives us a proud name among the na
tions of the earth, and ensures to the Repub
lic an enlarged and glorious destiny. Its
preservation ratifies the assurance that man
is capable of self-government, and that equal
rights, equal laws, and equal privileges, are
alone the results d' democratic institutions.
The dissolution of the National Union would
be the beginning of civil war, the strife of
sections, of scenes of fraternal discord. It
would raise the arm of the bondman amidst
the horrors of servile war: and the destruc
tion of a race of men alone would terminate
the fearful struggle. It would involve con
terminous States; acting as jealous strangers,
in vexatious disputes about rights of naviga
tion, of tribute, of transit. It would sacrifice
the faith of the nation. It would destroy the
army and the navy, and with them the proud
recollections of their early exploits. The
trophies of the nation would be dispersed,
and the great communion, of thought, of sen
timent, and of interest, in which, for more
than seventy years, we have gloried, would
be gone forever.
Deeply impressed by these considerations,
and relying most confidently on the entire
sympathies of the General Assembly of the
State, which has never known an instant's
disloyalty to the Union, I solemnly protest
against the utterance of rash and ill-advised
thoughts on a subject so dear to our constitu
ency, and more earnestly against all deliber
ation by means of conventions, or other
modes of action, unknown to the Constitu
tion, and having for their object, either the
dissolution of the Union, or the discussion of
sectional anti hazardous cmestions, for the
decision of which, the Constitution has made
ample provision. Pennsylvania venerates
and cherishes the unimpaired institutions of
our fathers.
With the fervent prayer that Almightly
God will so direct the deliberations of the
General Assembly, that "peace and happi
ness, truth and justice, religion and piety,
may be established among us for all genera
tions," the suggestions and recommendations
contained in this annual message are respect
fully submitted for your consideration and
action. WM. F. JOHNSTON.

The Tariff... Views of lair. Clay.
In the United States Senate, last week, Mr.
Clay presented a memorial from a number of eit
eons of Blair county, in the State of Pennsylva
nia, who represent themselves to be manufactu
rers and laborers, and others engaged in the vari
ous vocations of life. They complain very much
of the opperations of the existing tariff; and arc
extremely desirous that some malification should
be mule, so as to secure a cask and proper intro
duction of goods from abroml without abuse, and
at the NM time afford reasonable protection to
the interests of the county. Mr. Clay said :
Mr. Timberlake represents that tie has enga
ged near Monticello, (the former residence of the
late Mr. Jefferson) in an extensive manufacture
of cotton, having invested some sixty or seventy
thousand dollars in that business; that he has be
stowed upon it every attention, practised every
economy, and resorted to all measures which pre
sented themselves to him to resider his business
at least reasonably profitable. Ile states that un
der the tariff of 1842, he received a fair and remu
nerative profit upon his capital, not extravagant,
but sufficient to encourage the business; that un
der the operation of the tariff of 846,110 is liable
and in danger of utterly losing the whole amount
of Isis capital, and has been obliged to dismiss
afloat one-lialfof the hands, and the other moiety
which he has at work are laboring under the great
est difficulty. The memorial is extremely well
written. The petitioner is it sensible and practi
cal man, end one of high character and standing,
as I happen to know personally.
Mr. Clay then proceeded to remark—
I will take occasion to say that I do hope ihat
now, when there is an apparent calmness upon the
surface of public affairs—which 1 hope is real, and
that it will remain without disturbing the delibera
tions of Congress during the present session—for
one, I should he extremely delighted if the sub
ject of the tariff of 1846 could he taken up in a
liberal, kind, and national spirit; not with any
purpose of reviving those high rates of protection
which at former periods of our country were es
tablished for various causes, sometimes from sin
ister causes, but to look deliberately at the opera
tions of the tariff of 1846, and without disturbing
its esSential provisions, I should like a considera
tion to be given to the question of the prevention
of frauds and great abuses, of the existence of
which there can be no earthly doubt. Whether
some suitable legislation cannot take place for
that purpose ought to be deliberately . considered.
We should see whether we cannot, without injury,
; without prejudice to the general interests of the
country, give some better protection to the maim
titcturing interests than is now aftbrdetl.
The Met is no longer doubtful that the fires are
extinguished and extinguishing daily in the furna
ces of the country. The filet is no longer doubt
ful that the spindles and looms are daily stopping
in the country. Whether it is possible to arrest
this downward coarse, and to throw a little spirit
of hope and encouragement into this great indus
trial interest without any extravagance of legis
lation, are questions, I think, very well worthy of
serious consideration; and I hope in the calm
which we are allowed at present to enjoy in rela
tion to other great topics which have so long and
so disastrously agitated the country, that at some
early period during the present session this sub
ject will be taken up and (kale with in a spirit of
kindness, and harmony, and nationality.
Sir, after having said so much, I move that the
memorial be referred to the committee on Menu
thetures, and I ask that it be printed, and that
that question be referred to the proper committee
to decide.
The memorial was referred to the Committee
on Manuthetures, and the question of printing was
referred to the Committee on Printing.
TILE U. STATES AND AUSTRIA.
Webster vs. Hulsemann.
Chevalier J. G. lII,SEMANN, the Austrian Min
ister resident at Washington, recently addressed a
letter to the Hon. DANIEL WEBSTER, Secretary of
State, complaining of the course of our govern
ment in despatching Mr. Mann to watch the pro
gress and results of the Hungarian revolution.—
The Chevalier expresses his distinguished dissap
probation of the course pursued by our Govern
ment in sympathising with the gallant Hungari
ans. He alleges that the proceeding was palpably
hostile to his government, and intimates that the
United States would do well to be more careful and
prudent in future in all their relations with the
Austrian power. Mr. Webster replies under date
of Dec. 21, 1850. This correspondence, called for
by a resolution of the Senate, was presented and
read in that body on the 26th ult., and created
quite a seri:union. The letter of Mr. Hulsenuum
is couched in such insolent and arrogant terms,
that its reading in the Senate excited contemptu
ous ridicule and roars of laugher.
Mr. Webster's reply, evidently dictated rather
by a desire to place upon the public archives a full
exposition of the principles involved, than to notice
the impertinences of Mr Hub ei a it's later, is on
admirable avowal of the course which the United
States deems it proper to pursue in encouraging
the down-trodden mid oppressed of every nation.
Our limited space precludes its publication at
length, but the following abstract given by the
Washington correspondent of the Niathilmerican,
will give the reader a correct idea of the 11111111
points of the document.
" The Secretary of State begins his letter by no
ticing the principal ground of protest alleged by
Mr. Hulsemann—that this government, by the mis
sion of Mr. Munn, and the instructions which he
received, has interfered in the domestic affitirs of
Austria and in a manner unjust and disrespectful.
His answer to this objection, is one of the great
points which will attract public attention, in the
United States, and excite the comment of Europe.
Thought the principle has been announced before,
it has never yet appeared with the same imposing
authority. Mr. Webster asserts that President
Taylor's message, communicating a correspon
dence between the Executive government and a
confidential agent of its own, to the Senate, upon
the call of that body, was of itself a domestic trans
action—a mere instance of intercourse, between
the President and a branch of the Legislature, ac
cording to established usage. It was not address
ed to Austria nor Russia, nor had it the character
of a manifesto, to which any foreign Power was re
quired to reply. The publicity given to it, was in
the common course of proceedings. Under these
circumstances, Mr. Webster pointedly suggests,
that the Austrian Cabinet might have perceived,
that by the instructions given to Mr. }baseman,
it was interfering with the domestic atlitirs of a for
eign State, the assured ground ofcomplaint against
the United States. Ile also tells the Charged' Al
fares, that the Department of State on former oc
casions, had informed the Ministers of foreign Gov
entments, that any communication from the Pres
ident to Congress, was to be regarded as a domes
tic communication, of which no foreign State could
ordinarily take cognizance.
Mr. Webster repels the imputation that the nett
teal policy of the United States had not been ob
served in the mission of Mr. Mann, by a recital of
the historical events of the past two years in Aus
tria and other parts of Europe, and by defining
what constitutes proper neutralities as recognized
by this government. He ascribes the timely inte
rest exhibited by the government and people of the
United States in those events, to their extraordi
nary character, and to no disposition to violate the
policy of neutrality. But he goes fitrther, and ad
mits that in proportion as these events appeared to
have originated in those ideas of popular sovereign
ty, on which the American Constitution is founded
they command the sympathy of the people, who
stand before the world as the representatives of
popular principles. Ile then proceeds to cite the l i
opinion expressed by the Emperor, Joseph the Sec
mid, of the necessary consequence of the Ameri
can Revolution on the sentiment of Europe, and
argues from this admission, as well as from other
manifest causes, that the American people could
not be expected to remain indifferent to any strug
gle for popular liberty in Europe. Leaving these
occurrences thirty years ago, Mr. Webster points
at the immediate progress which has been develop
ed in population,;wealth, commerce, manufitetures,
anti the usefid arts, and significantly suggests that
the United States may be pardoned even by the
adherents of absolute governments, for entertaining
nn ardent affection for those popular forms of po
litical organization, which have so rapidly advan
ced their own prosperity and happiness, and ena
bled them to challenge the admiredon of the civ
ilized world. While they have not interfered iu
the internal concerns of Europe, they have always
entertained a sleep interest in the fortunes of na
tions struggling for free institutions. It was for
this reason that the movement in Hungary excited
such strong sympathy, and that every future effort
will elicit similar expressions of popular feeling.—
' While the United States claim no right to take
part in there struggles, they cannot and will not
remain indifferent spectators.
A reflection in Ms. Halsemann's letter, upon
what he is pleased to disignate the "mendacious
rumors propagated by the American Press," con
cerning the occurrences in the Austrian empire, is
most happily turned by the Secretary, who sug
gests that the American press is, of necessity, al
most wholly dependent upon that of Europe for in
formation on these subjects, and if "mendacious
rumors" have been propagated anywhere, that
propagation of fitisehood has been most prolific on
the European continent, and in countries immedi
ately bordering upon the Austrian empire. But
wherever these errors originated, they certainly
justified the late Presideni in seeking true informa
tion through authentic sources, and fitrnislied abun
dant reason fur the mission of Mr. Mann, which
was mainly prompted by the desire to ascertain the
true condition of theta.
In reply to a remark in Mr. nulscmann's note,
that the "emissary" of this government. (Mr.
Mann,) was exposed "to be treated as a spy," Mr.
Webster gives the definition of "spy" and observes
that the application of this odious name and char
acter to the confidential agent of a neutral power,
bearing the commission of his country, and sent
for a purpose entirely warranted by the laws of na
tions, is not only, an abuse of language, but a can
fussion of all just ideas, such as ought not to have
been expected in a grave diplomatic paper. He
takes the opportunity to say too, that the Ameri
can government would regard such an imputation
upon it from the Austrian Cabinet as distinctly of
fensive, and if the Imperial government had sub
jected Mr. Mann to the treatment of a spy, it would
have placed itself without the pale of civilised na
tions, and if it had carried or attempted to carry
any such lawless purpose into effect, the spirit of
the American people would have dmanded home
dime hostilities to be waged to the utmost e.tent
of the military and navel power of the Republic.—
The hope is expressed, that the word used in the
original German is not equivalent with "spy" in
the English language, or that this opprobrious term
may be expressed in some other way.
In conclusion, Mr. Webster defends the whole
proceedings of General Taylor, and after paying a
merited tribute to Kossuth, winds up Ids letter by
a tins and glorious declaration, that while the Uni
ted States will observe strict and exact fidelity to
their neutral duties, nothing will deter either the
Government or the people from exercising, at their
own discretion, the rights belonging to them as an
independent nation, and of forming and express
ing their own opinions freely and at all times, up
on the great political events which may transpire
among the civilised nations of the earth.
Such is is very imperfect outline of this great pa
per. It will speak fur itself more satisfactorily
when published and circulated, as it deserves to be
in every quarter of the Union. Much sensation
was produced in the Senate, and still greater sen
sation will he produced in the diplomatic circles,
when the official publication is made. What course
the Austrian Charge d' 'Wires will adopt can only
bo known to himself. Ile may profit by the in
struction, and continuo, in the discharge of his dip
lomatic duties, for there is no unfriendly disposi
tion towards him or his government."
Ledger Office Destroyed by Fire.
The Ledger Building in Philadelphia, a large six
story house, on the corner of Chesnut and Third
streets, was totally destroyed by fire on the morn
ing of the 30th ult. The loss is very heavy. There
was an insurance on the building and materials of
some twenty-five or thirty thousand dollars, but
the loss will probably be from $40,000 to $50,000
over and above the insurance.
The Ledger Building was probably the most ex
tensive printing csillilishment in the United States,
and its machinery was considered the finest in the
world—more complete even than those of London
gun' Paris. It was occupied altogether by the Pub
lic Ledger printing office, the office of the Dollar
Newspaper, and the United States Job Printing
Establishment. One room on Third street wee
occupied as a publication and periodical store, late
ly kept by A. Winch, but now by Messrs. Wood
& Peterman. They lost, we believe, everything.
The Bulletin office, adjoining, was also in great
danger, but escaped with slight injury.
We regret to learn that several firemen were
severely injured.
The publication of the Ledger was only suspen
ded for a day or two by this disaster, and it is now
appearing regularly in as fine trim as ever.
