1 now turn tlm nttentlon of my fronds of lb*
" Republican" io the general orders issued by iho'
Secretary of the Treasury to the Rernmia officers:
" Their nid may in like manner, lie extended to tbe
preservation of property found on hoard of wrecked
Vessels, oml lo secure the cargoes fnr tbe bsnefit if
their owner*: for which the officer! and crew of
tht cutter will be entitled to the proper allowance
for salvage," General Instructions of October 3d t
1834.
And hiving stated the law oml the ordets, I
hepo tlmt the Editors will excuse mo for saying, that
their opinion, ",lhnt Revenue officer* have nojast
claim for silvugc,"'i* rather Imitilu to the deoision
■of sotne of the most eminent,Court* of Justice ; nnd
thut their it-seiiijn, *• that there D no precedent of
a claim having been setup Iriiltetto, of a simitar
diameter," is rlighlty variant from lha actual srxto
of j hd 'disc. I believe that nn one has bilhrrto
been bold enough to say, lint such claim should bo
ilis-njlowed " under any circumstances that may
ari»e," and I hope that tho editor* of iho Republi*
can will put it down to my miaforttine, rather than
my fault, th-tt ihey should hnv) bron ignorant of
tbe w.-ll c*(i/Mbiiud ilootrlnes of n Court of Admit-
ally. Tlie truth of the, nutter is, timt'n man may'
be thoroughly conversant with tho code milUaryi
ami yet ond-rttoml very little ahoul the <citil code |
ami he m iy he very astute about brevier and now*
panel, and yet be very ignorant nbout laltirgc and
average mutter*: nnd I think iliat if the maxim
no surer ultra crepidum M was oftener remember
ed, it would buofcsxertiul scrvico to us all.
I • bject to the fair of tho Republican—I object
io tlie mode of It* announcement—I object to tho
time seh-ctcd for its promulgation—I Rave always
supposed Unit it \vnscqnrid-.'frdill.timQd, (l|usetho
mildest terms l can find in the Dictionary,) to fo-
flame public opinion upon a subject then tn contra*
versy fiefocv a Court of Justice; mid lhave heard
that it Wos nccnsiunnlly treated tit a contempt of
Court. I submit to the better judgment of tl e
Editors of the Republican, -whether it would not
hive been as well to havo with held tho expression
of " onr opinion in tho first pluce" until the Judi
cial nuiliorilias of the cuuntry had determined tho
case then before them; and I trust that Ida .not
commit an Injustice to iho feelings of tho oJItoti, .
when 1 express o hepo that they were not aware
tlmt the case remuined t n-argued and undecided:
One word m»re, and I will lenvo my friends of the
Republican. (I trust the) will allow mere 0*0 tho
term'prohae vice,) 10 thqir Christmas dinner,' and
tln-ir "nur opinions." \Ve think their surprise
unnatural, (I huvu tortured my imagination form,
couiteuus term.) when they express their ornate-
ment tlmt the Secretory of the Treasury did not
interfere toco-cice the withdrawal of tl;e caso by
the force of Iris authority, from tho proper Judicial
tribunal, nml tlmt too, when tlio only evidence upon
which he could net, and it.dccd whicli could have
been before him, wo* the libel uf the salvors setting
forth, Under oath, a v*-ry strong case for tho in.
’terpqsilinn nf a Couttlof Admiralty. This would
have born nhlntpcuinct nnd despotic exctciseol his
aullionty, and an inletfr-rence with the Judicial
department, which certainly, would havo been
uncoiled for ond unpardonable.
In roncfuiion. I beg tho editors tn bcKeva that
honor-end «corr.’ct conduct mny bo found even In tlio

^int the commnndcr of thu Crawford and Ills sub

CHRISTMAS.
The recurrence of this religious festival of the

Though not a* ancient as another Christina Fes
rival—K-tster, tlio event it commemorates wns the
harbinger of (huso blissful t iding* proclaimed to er

surrection.
But it dor* not become.us, in our column*, 'devo
ted Ot they are to secular purposes, to intrude on

remind him that thu Festival lie commemorates is
one intended to open tlio .charities of hi* inner

of one higher than himself to draw n veil ovoi the

"THE REVENUE CUTTER AND THE
SHIP HERCULES."
Mr. Editor:—It is the advice of an old nnd nccom
plished author, that "ii is highly desirable to under
stand your subject, before you venture to write up*
on it.” This n-murk strikes me with full force
in rofi-renco 10 tlio very Dinned uml legal opinion uf
the editors of the "Rcpnlriicnn" in their editorial
Hhnut "thi! oisc of the Revenue Cutler und the ship
Hercules." Thu editors sny, "our own opinion
wns, und is still, tlmt in the first plnco, the officer in
command of a Revenue Cutter has no justclnim for
salvage under nny circumstances ihnt may arise;
and in the second plnce, that there is no prnceden
of ■ claim having been set up hitherto, of a similar
character."
Acknowledging, as I am hottnd to do, tho great
force which must necessarily attach to tho opinimn
of the editor* nf tire Republican upon questions of

The committee to whom were referred the reso-

Those resolutions suggest, first, that the senators
