A’ determined movement however,, j reflecting gteat credit upon those who were most pioanneutia it—amorg whom were Messrs, lap per- M'lvtr— Subul— j}jorrism, Wright, Harper Ihattune, and others, wliose names we have not i learned extinguished the fire on Mr, flicker . son's iio is , when most of the roof was in a Jigfu - b.sze, and put an end to us ravages in that quar.sr ', “ le amount of loss we cannot pretend to state with ( certainty—but we are -sorry to h ear that much of ihe properly destroyed, was not insured.

Notwithstanding the great outcry about ea Writ of Error in the Tassels case and the promise i, of mighty things to be accomplished by “ the most; ■ distinguished Bench in the world”—the Culprit a j perished on the scaffold under the law he had of - j fended, be.ore the Court was able to look even in-* jto the record of his condemnation ! In these cases [Jjof Worcester and Butler—we will suppose the 1 |Court to decide in tlieir favor and order their libera* 0 lion—to whom will the order be directed—and let it be directed to wfhom it may—can it ever been* [forced? These are questions worthy the exercise Jof all the foresight of Messrs, If'irt & Sergeant-* 3 ! worthy the laborious consideration of the Supreme ,_jßench, All the orders, decrees and fulminations ii °f ‘fie court will not open the gates of the t’eniten y tiaryj—decision upon decision may be accumulated it jin behalf of the convicts—they will doubtless make r - - some stir in the political world, and be very edify a jing to those who would increase Ihe powers of the tl j Federal Government, and cut down those of the !

It may be said that if bolts and bars do 1- 1 not give way to peaceful orders —they may be se !(" jvered by force. We would say as little as possible upon such a subject as this—but to what arm can idle Court delegate strength enough to execute ite mandate ’—Every U.
