Tho declaration of tho Convention in tho Ordi- nane*. of tho 18th of March, that the allegiance of tho cititon, was exclusively due to the State, and thej authority given to the legiJatare to provide by law for the administration of oaths to carry it into effect, cannot by any possible means be brought within the objects contemplated in calling tho Convention, for they had already been accomplished. In tho bill, introduced into the legislature at its list session, to umond tho constitution, so cs to authorise the admin, iatration of an oath of allcgianco, in conformity with that prescribed by tho act, tho legislature have very clearly expressed their own judgment of this mat ter—that bill was wholly unnecessary, if they could derive their authority from tho ordinance, and tho terns of that authority, if that bo good, arc as broad as any advocate for allegiance could desire. Several subdivisions of this genertl proposition, have been pressed upon tho consideration of tho Court —and amongst these, is tho question, whether the term allegiance, used in tho act, is to be understood to moan exclusive allegiance to tho flute, as defined in the Ordinance of the Convention, and in the reso lution of tho same legislature which passed the act. The general rule certainly is, that, where tho meaning of words, used in a statute, have been ascer tained, they are to be understood is the same sense, when they cm used in a subsequent statute. [B acon Abe. Statute, I.] But, I apprehend, that when i word occurs in a Statute, which is sutceptiblo of two interpretations, one in which it may legitimately op erate, and the other would wholly defe at its operation, it ought, on tho maxim tit ret magis tale at quam pe. re at, to receive that interpretation favorable to ite operation. If, therefore, in tho construction of tho word allegiance, in the act, as exclusive allegiance to the State would render it unconstitutional ae re. pugnant to tfco constitution of the United States, it ou*bt to be construed'os an allegiance consistently with the constitution, if that would give it efiect, and operation. Neither the declaration of the Convention,nor the resolution of tho legislature, havo my necessary connection with the act—nor havo either of them the fore.'of law—they are, it is true, tho expression of nn opinion entitled to great consideration,—but it does not follow thnt even those who entertained that opinion intended to incorporate the principle in the act. The diversity of opinion, on the subject, might havd boon a motive for not. incorporating it into tho ■acts, and I have always myself, regarded it as a con cession made by the majority .to the minority, and an abandonment of the principle of the ordinanco. It will be observed, too, that the oatb prescribed by the act, is to bo taken in addition to the oaths then re quired by law, and amongst these, is, the oath to “pre serve, protect and defend tho Constitution of the U. State*”—and tho term Allegiance when understood, in reftrprtce to the context, obviously imports an alle giance to the State, consistently with the obligations of the cjtizon, to tho government of the United States, and.—understood in this sense, 1 am not able to per ceive its in compatibility with the Constitution of tho United States. NVc are met, however,'with the objection, that the Convention were clothed with all the power of tho peoplo, and having expressed tlieir will in the Ordin ance cf March, 1833, that Ordinance superseded tho Constitution, and is imperative on the Court. The found ition upon which all our institutions are built is, that tho will of tho people is supreme—nor will it bo questioned, that it is equally imperative, arc not appointed bj', or responsible to, tho State, ex cept in common with the other States, and to that government is confided the preservation of many of tho dearest rights of the citizen, and amongst these, “ But does the Editor of the Whig really low those who, it seems, are altogether deter- ,, . . . , , . e such a difference in the case of a people, I mined not to follow them ?

Crops.—The corn crop is (we think) an unusually good one so far. If the s easons are propitious for a few weeks more, corn will be very abundant. The cotton crop, though not so good as the corn crop, is ne vertheless a good one. The cold weather in the spring, has caused it to be less forward than usual, perhaps, at this period.—J/onf. gomcry, Ala. Journal. Cholera.—This disease was still preva lent among the Cherokee emigrants, 60 or 65 having died out of their original number, which was estimated at 550. We learn that the cholera had broken out amongst a detach ment of U. S. troops [recruits] who recently took passage at this port, on the Gallipolis steamer, for Fort Gibson. Six of them had died, and 40 or 50 were reported sick.—N. Orleans Argus. Cholera.—We understand by the late ar rivals that the Cholera has disappeared from the banks of the Mississippi above, and that there is at present no sickness on the river.
