soon ovei; hut u humble and lingering
death was reserved for Fagan. The iron

his stiffened companion dying by inches
of famine and cold, which had moderated
so as without ending, to aggravate his mis

aged them to return, their victim was
swinging stiffly in the tiocilt wind; now
lifeless ns the companion of Ilia crime and
its punishment. It is heiievod to tlti^day
that no mortal power operating upon the
lungs of the dead murderer, produced that
awful, unearthly, and startling tcrennt —
hut tint it was tho voice of the evil one,
warning the intrusive guard,not to disturb
the fiend in the possession of hii lawful
victim; a belief materially s'renglhened
by a fact that could not be disputed—die

suffering double pollution fiom litem nnd

a fatal error, lo mistake a iullng oack to

acceptance of Mr. Clay’s hill ofcomprom-

thus misunderstood, h is tlotliing more
than a surrender of the tmieitahle position

as tile result,—“ To Mr. M’Lano is as
signed the Stale Department; to Mr.
Woodbury, the Department ofilte Teras-
urv; and to Mr, Forsyth, of Georgia, the
Navy Department. The Wat Depart
ment, to remain under tlto administration
of Mr. Cass, unless he should resign, ns it
is said he will; and Mr. Barry to retain rim
Post office, aud Mr. Ttmey to continue
Attorney General. Mr. Livingston, it is
confidentially said, is to go to Eugland or
France, as soon ns the Delaware can be
fitted out to carry him. There are also to
be groat changes in the heads of Bureaus,
and (here is to be a general sweep among
the subordinate clerks. Whether the Na
vy commissioners will be reformed, will
depend upon tbe report of General Van
Ness and Mr. Kendall on the charges
against them, now under investigation.—
Major Eaton, furthermore, is lo have the
orations in that quarter? No. He found
it would pass in spite of him, and then
tried to make it Itis own. But even litis
was not permitted. Tlm hill has been
puffed into a momentary popularity, aud
Mr. Clay lias all tlto credit ot it. ’ Much
good may it do him.
Not a measure lias the President car
ried or prevented besides Itis lorce bill.
Ami wliat is that? Not at all to his
mind, as will be seen whenever the Clier-
okecs can lug llm Slate of Georgia into
court again. Mr. Forsyth saw that, and
tried to change that feature. He might
as well have tried to stop Niagara. Tlto
President wanted leave to use farce, or,
not at his pleasure. Has lie got it? No.
He is made the high bailiff of the courts,
mid at tlioir bidding he must net, and
without their bidding he can do nothing.
Were Messrs. Worcester and Butler now
in the Penitentiary, lie would bo obliged
to turn them out. By signing that law,
lin js estopped to deny tlto right of the
Supreme Court lo command their dis
charge, and Itis duly to enforce it against
ail resistance. It tvas to draw him into
this snare that these holy men agteed to
hush up this matter.
No. The President is a prisoner in his
palace, surrounded by spies and traitors,
and unable to prevail on CongreH to do
any thing hut to arm his hands with mi
instrument whicbhe cannot uso without
cutting hi* own throat.
This is the true amount of tho matter.
The monied aristocracy have a decided
mastery in Congress, and he is their ene

to tight them with? The tax-paying lan

into consideration the Stale oftlre Union,
witli a distinct understanding that in that
Convention the following propositions will

1. Thai the faculty of secession resides
in the Slates.
2- That they have the right to secede
for good cause.
3. That they have tho right to judgo of
the sufficiency of the cause.
4. That the authoritative denial of these
rights, is such good cause, if persis
ted in lo the length of enforcement against
u seceding State.
5. That tlm permanent cs'tiblish iiont of
a tariff, predicaed upon any bas.s lint the
necessities of the Treusuiy, is such good
cause.
6. That tlto practical tissefli m of a su
perintending and controlling jurisdiction of
the Federal Courts over the Slate
Courts, backed by the bayonet, is such
good cause.
7. That tbe existence of flic law

8. That any exercise, even of the ac
