A vary iuiporteut quMtion has boen raised and
decided iu the Hujwnor Court of New York, upou
this subject. The particular ease was that of a
policy of life insurance expiring on Sunday, the
premium upon the renewal of which was not ten
dered till the following Monday. Dut the discus
sion involved the whole question us to fulfilling
any contract the tluy fordoing which comes up
ou Suuday. The general notion is, thut in ull
ouch eases the contract must I>e performed, or the
offer made to do it, on tire preceding Saturday.—
Rut the Court iu this case overruled the notion.
The decision is a very interesting one, and goes
largely into an investigation of the legal history
of the Sabbath.
The Court say*:—“The rule wo* stated in un
qualified language by Justice Brownson, in Halter
vs. Burt, (2D WeodaU 2(k, ‘I agree to the doctrine
laid down l.y Would, Justice, in Avery vs. Stew
art, ‘1 Coma., Rep. hi*,; that .Sunday cannot, for
the purpose of performing a contract, be regarded
os a day in law, aud it should, for that purpose,
he considered as struck from ibe calendar. Iu
computing the time mentioned iu n. contract for
doing an act. intervening Sundays are to l>e
counted, bat when the day of performance falls on
Sunday, it is not to be taken into the computa
tion.
“It appears tnu.l from this review of the law,
thut the Court i* warranted in saying that when,
from accident or mutual error, the day of fulfill
ing an agreement lulls upon Sunday, there is
enough of principle and authority to justify the
party in .hdi rring his performance to the Monday
ensuing, without impairing a right or inclining
a forfeiture.”

one conversant with Iho history of Alabama poll- j
tics, kuTtws that thin platform was ignored by |
Mr. Fillmore—that those who under-i and him repu- j
dinted their pledge®. After uunnelutiog ti eir j

following reiolve,
“And we pledge our wives, one to th * other, that J
we will uftiliite with no party, nor support any 1

The truth is, to our mind, there in a warn of
clearness, manliness and can.lor in his lef.r—
wo doubt cHpituily from this letter the sincerity us
hi* deolarationsin regard tu the South. They are
too general ami meaningless. Toe seem to be
written for efibet. They uau bu eoiutrud into
resistance or imbmission->-(itiionisui or dissolu

Tho Democratic party need not now fear the re
sult. The victory can be won upon the plats .im
laid down by Mr. Judge.
