The ConvelllF.a wet pureaaat to ad journineat. Gen. Alexander, from the committee appointed to draft resolutions ex pressive of I the semi() of this Convention, submitted the following, viz: I. Resolved, that the faith of the nation, and a proxi:r regard for the prosperity of our own ibusitiess, alike require that the government of the United States should raise revenue by falcons of duties no the importation of foreign merehandize, suffi cient to pay all the reasonable expenses of the Goyim-ninon!, and to secure a proper t and etlident preparatiwi for national de fence. A l ireed to. 2. Resolved, That the tariff of duties on importarious.ought. to be so adjusted as to protect ri!l the objects of home industry from.suecessful competition by foreign man nficturers, and to sustain our. own labor, skill and capital; and that this would be best effacted by specific and discriminating duties.. Agreed to. 3. Resolved, That inasmuch as the precious metals must constitute the basis of currency, vhie.li is essential to the pros ,psirity of any busines, and if the balance of foreign trade be against us, mar specie must be ex-ported to pay that balance; the amount of tariff ought also to he so reau hated as to produce ouch a balance as will not only pay the interest of our loreign dab% bot `ultimately to discharge the prin. cipatofrt, witlv i tut the exportation of our gohl and silver. So long as those metals are sent Out of the nomitry, we can have no Isouud sir Stable curreaec; and our home iii• .mac*-~a~trsr--*.-- dustry will consequently be paralized. A- greed to. 4. Resolved, That the truth ofThis dnc trine is pmverfully demonstrated by the ' facts, that while the United States, starting ten years ago, with little or no ffireign debt but with a decreasing tariff, in ten years have contracted two liun.l. - ed and fifty mil lions of &litre of foreign debt, by reason of the balance of trade, be-rides borrowed money and specie gone from us, and have brought on'their own people general die :tress—Great Ittitaie, already butthoned with a national debt of five thousand mil lions of dollars, and with most numerous and Vail sources of expenditure, in the same ten years has actually secured to herself a balance of trade of nearly two thousand Imillions of dollars; and has thereby math. tabled her credit. Agreed to. I 5. Resolved, That it is inexpedient to levy and collect duties upon such foreign goods es du not compete with the products of lour own industry, and are necessary to our comfort,. or auxiliary to our own man ufactures. Agreed to. 6. Resolved, That we are in favor of the protection of all branches of home industry ito the fullest extent, and particularly the manufacture of iron, and the mining of !Coal, in all their relations as • not only of paramount importance in themselves, but ' as deeply involving the prosperity of very mahy other branches of domestic industry; and most materially effecting the value of our public improvements. Agreed to— Greene voting in the negative. 7. Resolved, That in order to carry out the views of the friends of home industry, and to enable them to act with the under standing and effect which the magnitude of the-object requires,a central committee he appointed to receive the reports of county committees and associations, to make such use of the information thus obtained as may appear to them best calculated to effect this object; and to superintend the establish ment end support of a periodical publics tion at Harrisburg, devoted entirely to the support of home industry, skill, credit and capital. Agreed to. 8. Resolved, That a committee of three be appointed in each county of the State, who are earnestly requested to organizir such comity ashocurtion as they may think most likely to aid the cause of American industry, to obtain the information desired, end to furnish the central committee with all such statistical and other 'beta as are likely to promote the object contemplated by this Convention.

THE NARRAT“'E OF YOONO Coo 183 --Yining Coombs, recently returned from Mexico, has publi,lted a statement in the New Orleans Bee, in which ho says: "When we arrived at Mexico, wo were covered with filth and vortnin. IV° there met an order from Santa Ana, to be chain ed'With heavy iron. We were lod3ed in Cie Convent Santiago, about two miles from the palace; confined in a room over the cemetery, and the effluvia from the dead bodies beneath was offousive in the extreme. Upon my arrival, I wrote to our Minister Mr. Ellis, informing him of my situation, and of my being a eiiizen of the United States, and stated the fact of my having gone with the expedition only as a guest of the commissioners, which circumstance was corroborated in 'writing; by 'Messrs. Cooke and Brenham, two of the commis• sionors then prisoners with us. The prisoners were, upon the order of Santa Ana, wuked up, and chained two and t wo together, and marched to tbe pal ace at midnight. When they arrived there the Dictator was asleep; the prisoners were kept in the public square for some time, for the gratiliication of the rabble, and then marched back no one .daring to disturb the slumbers of the tyrant. I was not -then put in chains, in consequence of my illness. Those prisoners who were able to do so, were subsequenly made to work upon the streets of the cap.tol. About three weeks after we reached Mexico, two of the prisoners made their escape.- This incensed Santa Ana to such a degree, theft he ordered the whole of us, the lame and sicl included, to be chained and made to work with the rest. I was taken out of Led and chained %lib a heavy log chain about my uncles, and made to work in tho streets. This, too, after I had been demanded as a citizen of the United States by our minister, Mr. Ellis; I was kept in chains about two weeks, and ill as I was, compelled to sleep and work in them, having thereby • nearly lost my hearing, when I was sent fur by 'Santa ima. The Dictator asked me a variety of questions about myself, my parents, the ob. jects of the expedition and other matters. After I was in his presence about 15 min utes, the chains were taken ofF me by a blacksmith; Santa Ana then said, that in consequence of my youth, the capacity in which I accompanied the expedition, and my being the son of a general, I was at liberty to go home. During the interview Santa Aria d.d nut once mention the name of our Minister, Mr. Ellis, as having de manded me, and I gathered from what I heard and saw, that my liberation could not be traced to the energy of our Repre sentative in Mexico, or the dread of the Dictator of the resentment of my govern went. Before my release, I ascertained from ur Secretary of legation, that Mr. Ellis had called several times upon Santa Ana, but was refused an audience. To my in quiry if this was the manner in which the representative of the United States allow ed himself to be treated, he answered there was no help fur it Mr. Ellis subsequently addressed a note to Santa Ann, but what effect it had I know not; it can be imagin• ed from the refusal of an audience upon three several occasions.. Whilst I was in prison, I neither saw Mr. Ellis nor received any word or reply to my letters to him.— The Secretary gave for ao excuse f.r this negligence, as 1 deemed it, that it was not becoming the dighity of a minister to cor respond with a prisoner. Alter my release, Mr. E Its treated me with attention and politeness, and I have to thank him for the loan of money to bring me home. Whilst sick in prison, Mr. Black sent me bedding, the foreigners sent me some necessaries, and Mr. Luresden loaned me some money. p,...“4 0 0....... HORRIBLE THAOEDY.—By a slip from the Southport Telegraph, 1V isconsin, we learn that the Han. Charles C. P. A rndt, member of the Council from Browne coun• ty, was shot dead, on the floor of the Coun• ml chaalher, by James it. Vinyard, mem ber from Grant county. The affair grew out of a nomination fur Sheriff of Grunt county—Mr. E.S. Baker was nominated and supported by Arndt. This nomina. non was opposed by Vineyard, who, wented the appoinnment to vest in his own brother. In the course of debate, the deceased made some statements which Vineyard pro flounced FALSE, and main use of violent and insulting language, dealilig largely in per sonalities, to which Mr. A. made no reply. After the adjournment, Mr. A. ste.ped up to Vineyard and requested him to retract, which he refused to do, repeating the of fensive words. Mr. Arndt then made a blow at Vineyard, - who stepped hack a pace, drew a pistol, and shut him dead. The i,•sue appears to have been provek• ed on the part of Vineyard who was ch. termined at all hazards to. defeat the up pointment of Baker, and who,, himself de feated, tinned his ire and revenge upon the unfortunate Arndt. • TORACCO IN Tl fl UNlON.—Virginia IF the laroest tobacco grower., ratting over 74 tntltions of pounds.

AU oilier laws providing for the !uspen.ion of specie payments .by thy Winks. or for-penalties for norvpiynieot o specie are ,hereby revealed A C41.9E OF EIVPPJSED JEAr.ov , Y.—The newspapers have been teeming with• various accounts of the difficulty between Gov. Thomas, of Maryland, and his lady, grow. ing, some or the statements say, nut of un founded jealosuy on the part of the Gov ernor• The case .must be a very panditl one, as less than , n year 11019 elapsed since the parties were married. Ilis .Escollen. cv, though not very young, corona be old. Ile was for a ntonlyir of years one of the most efficient members of Congress tot Maryland, and if we mistake not, officiated as Chairman of the U. S. Bank lovestiga nun Committee appointed by Congress to visit this city. The mutual frtends of the parties should step in end adjust the diffi ally, especially if, as a ppears In be the impression; all the stismairms iu the case are entirely groundless. The Baltnniire correspondent of the Boston Atlas under date of the 22d ult. says:— The difficulties with Gov. Thomas and his wife remain unchanged. She is by this 1110' at borne with her flatter. Any further efErt t at reconciliation is considered out of the question, and there 17 a rumor that she may petition our Legislature fur a divorce. The conduct of Gov. Thomas in this War meets-everywhere, and from men of all parties, unmitigated condemirttion. One consequenee of the rupture is the desertion of the Government House at An napolis. The ladies very properly decline to visit it, as well from their respect for the wronged wife, as that such visit might be construed into an approval of the conduct of the Governor; and the gentlemen refuse to go there, to show their abhorrence of the treattuvnt the wife received at the hands of one who, was her sworn protector and twat friend. It is said that in the event of an application for a divorce, and its being granted, Mr. Thomas will resig4, but not till after the Legislature adjourns." A NOTII 1:12 PREVIOUI PARDON!—Iad we not made up our minds in relation to Gov. Porter's official conduct, as Mr. Speaker Snowden has in relation to the misdeeds of the banks, to be astonished at nothing. we should indeed lid astounded at an article in the Bellefonte Whig of the 19th ult. It says, "we understand that last week, as the Court of Clinton were about to try an ap peal from a Justice of the Peace, in a case of prosecution for keeping a gambling house, the counsel for the defendant rose and presented a pardon in full for the of fence, from the Governor; which saved the Court the trouble of any further hearing of of the parties, their proofs and allega tons." We trust some of the friends of justice in Clinton county, will give us the full par ticulars of this transaction. The people of Pennsylvania have solemnly decreed that the leprosy of Porterism should stalk a. rnong us for another term, contaminating and defiling every thing it comes in con tact• with, but we do not think that they will tamely endure such gross outrages as the above! —Har. Tele. A CALL rnom TM, SLAM'S', FOR A TAR- Savanah Georgian golds this language: Protection.—A State of feeling is grow• ing Up in the South upon this subject, very different from that•existlog ten years ago. It is natural that it should be so, when it is but too evident that our interest lead U 9 to such a change. Free trade with all its beauties has brought %%WI it few or no benefits, but rather a aain of calamities, and we find the whole Soutar 'laboring un der a complete prostration of prosperity.— We du nut hesitate now to say that the cause may be found in the fuct that we do not live sufficiently within ourselves. We do not encourage home mums fartvres, and therefore task all our energies, and them in vain, to pay for those things of which the main part could be produced among our selves. Labor is misapplied; we produce more of our staple than is wanted, and we have not yet learbed to distribute our force upon those objects which would prove most prof► tafile. To enable us to de this it ►s neces• nary to erect same barrio to keep foreign competition from interfering with us and rendering our efforts fruitless by driving us from our own markets. This must be by protection. We shall then produce, nod manufacture and consume our own products, and not be thrown entirely into idleness by the great glut of any ono article, as is now the case. Cotton is a drug, and t 4 a low price, and till we can turn our bands to something else, we must continue to lan guish. Even this article requires protec tion. and our assertion lust summer, that with the reduction of the c'uty by the coin promise act to 20 per cent. the East Indies would meet us ►n our market, is nearer be ing realized than we expected. The following extract from the Washing ton correspondent of the Charleston Court. the proof, and must wake up the South to her peculiar position—"We learn that large orders have heen sent train Hos ton and Salem to the East ladies for cotton, during the lust month! The increasing. products of cotton in the British East In dies will soon attract the attention of our Southern producers, end a will of protec• tier must be resorted to by them." We suspect there may be some doubts as to these orders while cotton is so low at home, but the least advance in our prices, we are certain would bring large imports tram abroad, if in July next the compromise act goes into operation and reduces the duties to 20 per cent., ►nstead of three cents per pound.

(rttOVe...nsk our Locoloco friends to Compare the Batik BiII puhliahed to•dny, with all . the pro• Positions that have been submitted to our wise legistature to manage the Banks; and pronouncing their judgment upon them, say which is the best OUR LEGILATIIRE-RESINPTION t rr It is now a certain and indisputable fact, ettested by the conduct of the parties concerned, that the Loco foco inlay are opposed to immedi ate resumption. They avow it by their nets in the Legislature. They propose a day some months distant for resumption, and they desire to adjourn mid inert again to "the pleasant summer months." Every thing ie attempted by some of their lenders to put offend delay final action.— Even at home, we hare it from the mouths or men high in their favor—mon who nepire to the honor of occupying the seats of our rnpreeenta tives, that immediate resumption would . ..ruin the country"—rain it ! ! The truth is, the minori ty in' the Hou'e--the Whig party—are more stendy,mul-persevering in their elThrts to settle this question, than the most violent of the an ti link, Lneofnee lenders. The only Bill which has been presented, from which any effectual legislation could be expected, thst pliblirthed in to day's paper, 3frl submitted by Mr. 8 rev EN9. It proposes immediate re. snmption; it extends to the Banks which accepted the act of 4th May, 1841 certain privileges in consideration of that acceptance, their increased liabilities, and the payment of the notes issued tinder that act in specie. (se:filch would 11.• row out specie. tolhat amount more than and other Cill isropoed.) The penalties it imPO - Ses on the Baidia and their officers, of suspending their privileges and pay, are as rigorous, and would prove as effectual as any that could be imposed. But this hill -.came Crean the wroug quarter." therefore, it was voted down by a redpeclable me. jos ity. A Dill has passed tho Sente. differing from that passed by the House.

Wu putilish with pleasure the subjoined letter from our Representative, the Hon. .14Nrsci Cooeitn. It sivitains most fully and clearly tho views expressed by us two weeks since, in rela tion to the right of petition, and the particular case to which reference was. If ought can lie urged ag.iiiist such opinions, let it not ho hint ed at, but avowed openly. VslaquiNwrire, March :1, 1442 Dear Sir: —Mv attention hos lost, been arrest• ed by an article in the r•Sentinel" of the 28th ult., in relation to my vote in the House of Rep. tesentatives of the United States, on the recep tion , of the petition presented oume weeks since by Mr. Moms, pray log Congress to take steps to bring about n 01 , 11(701A dissolution of the Uni on. From this article I learn that my vote on tha occasion referred to, has become a subject of con troversy between you and the Editor of the ..Sentinel.? I Jo not regard this controversy as indicative of feelings unfriendly to me, or can demnatory of my vote on the part of either.— Rut as that vote has become the subject of re mark, I deem it proper to speak fur myself. I have shears been the ndvoca•e of the right of petition, and have regarded any abridgment of it nit dangerous to liberty. The framers of the Constitution seem to have entertained a similar o pinion; for am ongst the limitations of the powers of Congress by that instrutnent, is one prohibiting the malting of any law •abridging the freedom of speech, or . of the press; or flit) light of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances." Thus by the Supreme law of the land this right of the people is mot particularly guarantied in its broadest form; and this right on the part of the ,people to petition, implies corresponding oblige thins on the part of the Government to hear.— 'rho right of petition is a branch of the tight of care freedom of speech;' and as a means of corn• municatlon between the people and the govern ment. the former is a, convenient substitute • for the latter. Dot of what value.is the great right of the “freedom of speech," or the tight "to pe tition the g o vernment for n redress of grievances," lithe latter will nnl hear the complaints which are preferred! In such case what becomes of the Constitotionel guranteel Is not the constitution violated! Was it not violated by the refusal to receive the petition in question! But perhaps it will be said that Congress hart no poWer over the subject matter of the petition ' ,presented by Mr. Adorns. .This I do not admit. But let it be granted; arid the obligation to receive is none the lits. Congress could not know in ,contemplation of parliamentary law. whether it had jurisdiction over the siiiijeet 'natter of the petition 'or not, until it was. received. The fart that Congress tins no jurisilicli , m 'over the complaint of R petition furitiothes o sufileient rea son fur the rejection 01 its prover, hut none far the refusal to receive nod consider it. ' But leek at the consequences which would result from the ,rtifusal to receive petitions over whirl, Congress , has, or is supposed to have no jurisdiction. Ms• ny tclieve th'it flitigrrbs Ms no curb:W.oloo'a, ill= power to charter a 'United Stales Bank, or to ap:: proptiate money for the construction of roads, l eze. within the States. Let the doctrine prevail 'that Congress is not hound to receive petitions on these subjects and a hundred others that rank in the same category, and the right of petition so illimitable in the constitution, and .sO solemnly guarantied' try it, will be but a dead letter. 8ut..1 do not look to the constitution for the .source of this great right of the people—the right of petition. It is of higher origin. It ex• l Isted antecedently, nut only to the establishment of the present constitution, but to those customs which from immemorial u.age have become the common law. It required nn constitutional sanc tion to render it sacred. This right is a part of the law of nature—not of human nature alone, appertaining only to man endowed with res• son, but which is exercised instinctively by the cnirnals in the absence of the attributes of reason. The language of petition is the language of na ture, uttered instinctively. I am in pain; I cry for relief to those who have power to grant it. I am in prison; I pray to he enlarged. I tun en ) slaved and oppressed; I pray to be sot free.--- 'rhos° to whom my petitions are addressed may be unable or unwilling to grant me relif; but they must bear my prayer in order to learn of what f complain. Your abused dog may petition you by signs, and such tokens as instinct teaches him to utter. You may kick him and drive him away for ma king these signs, but prohibit him you cannot. At every additional blow he will put up his po titbit's.' The slave ninny petition his master; it is true he may be punished (deli; but his exclarna• Lion 'have mercy on me!" wrung front him by the stripes of the whip, inflicted in' punishment, is still the exercise or this right. If the brute ex eicises this right by instinct, arid the slave is allowed it, upon what principle can Congress deny it to the peoplol But I have neither time nor inclination to pursue the subject further. I return to my vote on the reception of the peti• on presented by Mr. Adams, praying Congress to take steps to bring about a peaceful dissolution of the Union. I voted for the reception of this petition; arid I hope it will be understood that I do not write this letter in n deprecating spirit or by the way of excuse for having done so. The petition should have been received and referred to a committer; and that committee would have reported why the prayer of the petitioners should riot be granted• The value of the Union —the necessity of its preservation, could have been set forth iu such n light us would have pre• vented a spirit I.ostile to it from being cherished. 'f Ids wns the course (hosted alike by patriotism and prudence. On the contrary I wish it to be known that I have given no veto since I hate been in Congress, which I contemplate with more satisectien end pride tbnn the one in ques Lion; and if I could have voted alone in defence of the great right of the people opeacalrly to as semble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances," instead of voting with the thirty-nine others, who Ratted to their consis fancy, undisturbed by the stormy confusion, which had raged for an 'nanny days, my gratifica tion, personally, would h`ave been incrensed.— But in conclusion let me reinark again, that the recepren of a petition is one thing: and the granting of its prayer another; nnil that al though I voted to receive this petition, ns I will all others, decent and respectful in their terms,) I was es much opposed to its object us the most onen.rnouthe.Lodecreato, of. the...integrity of the Union pre/c ies to be. Your'g very truly, JAMES COOPER G. W. BowEs, I:t.-q FROM HARRIEDURG. Correspondence of the Gettysburg Star and Banner Ilittutsuuno, Feb. 28, 1842 Dear Sir:—The Resumption bill as amended by the Senate, has been amended by the House and sent back to the Senate on Saturday. A. tm•ng the principal ainendrnents made by the House to the amendments made by Senate, is the reAoration of the odious third section, releasing the banks from receiving the issue on 4th May lit in payment of debts and on deposite. The t4-ct produced by this section after its passage by Om House is too well known to acquire a ref• ()retire to the fact at this time. n the House a resolution was oft•red by Mr. ltaumfourt for the appointment of a cotnrnittee to consist of twenty-eight members to distribute and equalize the amount of taxes among the several counties of this Commonwealth. After some discussion, the resolution was adopted. Mr. Defurd offered a resolution for the adjourn ment .of the Legislature on the 22d of March, to meet again on the 15th of June. The. resolution was laid on the table. The resolution of Mr. Stevens amending the Constitution so that the State debt shall at no time exceed frty millions, was then token up on second reading, and the amendment pending thereto offered by Mr. Deford. negatived. Mr. Heckman then offered en amendinent to the effect that the debt should be reduced to twenty millions as speedily as possible and never in-- creased beyond that -amount. Mr. Snowden, (Speaker) then took the floor, but before he had time properly to define his position, the hour of one arrived, and the House adjourned. In the Senate, the Resumption Bill. was dispo sed of fur the time being; a number of the amend. meths made by the House to the Senate amend ments were concurred in, some were amended still further, and others non.concurred in. Should the House now recede from its amendments non concurred in by the Senate, and concur in such amendments as were made by Senate, the matter will be disposed of so far es both Houses are concerned. The third section of the original Howie bill has been stricken out by the Senate, and the banks are permitted to pay out,in addition to their own, the notes of all specie paying hanks. • Your's dc.c. llArtuisarna. March 1,1,942 Derry Sir:—Tho [resumption Bill has been bandied about between the two Houses again to day, until it Las at length found temporary re pose In the artni of a Committee of Conference, consisting, on the part of the Senate, of Messrs. Speed:man, (Whig,) Kidder, (full blooded loco foco,) and Mr. Ferri.lly, (miseellaneous)—on the part of the house, of Messrs. Deford, Bounif and Elwell, all genuine loco bees. The powers of the committee are unlimited—they can report en entire new bill. It will then' be for tho two Houses either to agree to the report of the Coin mittee of Conference, or reject it eutire—lt being out of the r;wer of either House to amend it- Dear Sir:—ln the House, this morning, Mr. • Elwell from the committee on the Judiciary sys tem, to which was referred the Lill reported some time since by Mr. Def..rd to annul the charter of d the Chamber' urg bank, reported the bill to rho House amended so as to authurizo a suit to be. instituted against the hank, requiring the hank to shew"eauno why the charter should not ho fur-' felted. On motion of Mr. Elwcllthe House imme diately proceeded to the consideration of the bill, when an effort was made by Mr. Dcford, to a mend the bill, by striking out all after the enact ing clause and inserting the bill reported by him-1 self to annul its charter. Mr. Deford made a lung speech on the subject, when his amendment was negatived, and the bill as reported by the committee was passed by a largo majority. • The amendment to the Constitution offered by ' Mr. Stevens limiting the State debt to fusty mil lions of Dollars, passed finally by the very do. tided vote of 74 yeas to 7 nays. Mr. Gamble took occasion to correct an error committed by I him yesterday, in stating that the State debt at this time exceeded forty millions, he had °seer mined upon further examination that may mil lions would cover the whole debt, and that there fore he would vote for the amendment. A resolution was offered and adopted this morning, requiring the committee or, the Judi ciary system to inquire into the expediency of reporting a-bill reducing the salaries and compen sation of public officers in accordance with the pecuniary difficulties under which we labor. A very lung discussion was hod CM receding from an amendment to a coal and iron bill ma. king stock-holders liable in their individual capaci ty, in which Messrs Roumfurt, Snowden, Elwell Barrett, I.cet, Lowry, Shorewood, Drford and Morrie participated, the motion to recede was negatived, Yeas 30, Nays 48. The Committee of Conference on the port of ' the Senate on the resumption bill. have been in. Istructed to report in favor of immediate resume• lion. Your's &c. Dear Sir:—Tbo Committee of Conference have at lentil reported a bill providing for the resumption of specie payments by the hanks. The first section relates to immediate re• gumption by the banks of all their liabilities in gold and silver. The sixth prohibits the banks, that accepted the law of 4th May last, from col. lecting their debts, during their suspension.— The eighth and lost section declares that nothing shall hereafter be received in payment of dues to lb° commonwealth except gold and silver, notes of specie paying banks, and the issue of 4th May last. After considerable discussion, the considers. lion of it WBS posponed until Monday next In the Senate, the report of the Committee of Conference uas under consideration until the hour of adj , turnment, without any question being had thereon. The report, however objectionable, will, I pre sume, receive the sanction of loth Houses. Mr. Caplan reported a bill in the Senate, post poning the election of members of the twenty eighth Congress until the fall of 1843. lIcPORTANT JUDICIAL DECVIOII.-11Ci National Intelligercer of !Vasa. a sayS: Among the important clecisiilns whicf) have beerrreorterectl .. at Um present term of tho SomiemE Cot ner of the United Eltrocis, perhaps no one is more consequential than that in the ease of •'Edward Prigg, plain tiff in error, vs. the commonweal , h of the State of Penns) lvania—in error to the So prome Court of the State of Peensylvania." haVe made the attempt to obtain the opinion of the Court in this case fine publica tion, but without success; it being one of the anomalies in our legislation, 'that the law, as laid-down in the lasr- resort by tlie highest judicial tribunal, is, for the time at least, a sealed book to the body of the Peo pie upon whom it is to operate. In this remark we mean no reflection on any body in particular, but merely m stae a Met, in excuse of our not immediately placing the whole matter in an authentic form before our readers. Consider ing, the decision not only impor tant in itself, but fUlly bearing us out in re• commending an appeal to the law by indi viduals whose cases particular States have of late token into their own hands, we pro ceed briefly to state the case above referred to as we understand it. At the Cotirt of Oyer and Tern iner for York county, Penns` lvouin, April term, 1839, Edward Prig (with others) was in. dieted under a statute of Pennsylvania of the year 1826, for apprehending and carry• ing to the State of Maryland a negro wo man, claimed as n slave, with the intention to bold or to sell said-person as a slave for life, which, by that statute, is mode a felo ny, punishable by a fine of not less than five hundred nor more than n thousand dol lars, and moreover by imprisonment at hard labor for not less than seven nor more than twenty one years. The seine statute abounds in penal enactments for correlative offences. Upen this indictment Prig was tried, and a special verdict returned by the Jury. finding the facts that the person apprehend• ed had come inth Penfisylvanin some time in 1832; that at that time, and long before, she had been a slave for life under the laws of Maryland to a citizen of that State; that Pi igg was duly and legally constituted the agent of said citizen to apprehend the nb sconding slave, and did apprehend and car• ry her hack into Maryland to her owner— and praying the direction of the Court as to the law of,the case. Upon this verdict, it pro forma judgment. was given for the Commonwealth against Prigg, and the case being carried up to the Supreme Court of the State of Peraisx lvanitt, the judgment of the Court below was there affirmed. An appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States was taken by .JONATIIAN E1114:DITII and JOHN N HISON, Esquires, Cornmi:stoners and Cconsellurs of the State of M rylatil. The judgment of the Supreme Court of the United Stntes in, that the net of the Commonwealth of Petmsylvithin upon which thia cafe is !blinded ig repugnant to the Constitution of the Mired States, and therefore raid. .• Your Az:4. ifsrtrusavnc, March 2, 1811 ITAnnimacno, March 5, 1542 Your's &C REGISTEIt.
