IMPORTANT DECISION.
On Fridas and Saturday Inst, the case
of the sureties of Philip Box vs The Post
Master General, was argued before the
Honorable Judge Johnson, in the sixth
Circuit Court for this district. The case
came on upon writ of error from the Dis
trict Court, where judgment had been ren
dered in favour of the Post Mnster Gene
ral. Several important points were made
in behalf of the plaintiffs in uror. On
Monday lust, Judge Johnson reversed the
judgment of the District Judge, on the
ground that the Courts of the United
Siates had no jurisdiction of actions
brought by the Post Master General on
bonds of the Deputy Post Masters—The
epinionjpf the'Court was given at length

that the whole of the troops arc now’ paid
to the first of September, and a considera

that tlie Paymasters will render vouchers
before the close of tbc‘ year, which will
fully account for all sums advanced to
them within the three first quarters.
The annual expense of medical stores
for the army, it appears by the Surgeon
General’s Report, has not been more than

The bill having been read in part, Mr.
Bnrbortr', expressing an opinion that its
provisions were inadequate to coverall ca

it would probably require additional provi

report progress.
The committee rose accordingly, and
hud leave to sit again.

Taylor in the chair, on the bill “to autho

M. P. P. Barbour, observing that the

And then the House adjourned.

called for. The editor of the Herald says,
" we shall suffer ourselves to bo forced to

Thus tlie Herald like honest Jack Fals-

Mr. Floyd gave notice that on Monday

The engrossed-Bill (lying over from last
Session) “to authorl 'u the State of Oliiq
to sell and convey certain tracts of land
granted to said State for the uetc of the
cople thereof,” was read a third time.
Bprjyinton rose and explained the ob
ject of this bill, and the considerations
whicli recommended its passage. The
grant of these lands, on account of the
salt springs upon them, to the State of
Ohio, was subject to the condition that
the State should not sell them, nor lease
them for a longer term -than ten years.
The object of this reservation wns, to.prC-
vent a monopoly of this indispensable arti
cle of subsistence. Since this grant, how
ever, it Imd been ascertained ilmt there
was in the State an abundance of resour
ces for the manufacture of salt; and
springs had been discovered and worked,
so superior in the quantity and quality of
the salt, as entirely to supersede the use
of those on the reserved lands. These
lands were, cortsequentiy, in their present
condition, of no value to the State, and the
State., therefore, wished to 1 be allowed to
dispuse-of them. The State alone was in
terested in this question, the Glided States
having neither title to, nor interest in,
these lands, having ceded both Io the State
of Ohio.
The hill was then passed, ncln. con.
and sent to tho Senate for concurrence.
An engrossed bill, also of the last Ses
sion, “authorising re-pnyment for land er

Tin: PRESIDENCY.
Bafty the followiriff extract of a latter, we
perceive that tht?; campaign is . about to
open at Washington, and we may calcu
late that the leadersof the three contend
ing parties will- lie most assiduous in tiro
pursuit of thoirkibject. Wc ventured an
opinion somc'short time since that t|ie iiu-
portant question, Who shall tc the next
President ?' would be materially influence 1
by what mqy be conceived tho, views of the
respective Candidates, on the nil import
ant subject of ,SWc Rights. Tliopccu-
jinr situafion of tlie Southern States at
taches to theiu' a Tronger interest on this
subject,thou tRht of auy other portion of the
Union, and ns, every thing connected with
their fitturc prosperity is involved therein,
all other"considerations should yield, both
on the score pf policy and necessity. Wc
arc awar/i pf what have 1 been the doc
trines’ aiid opinions of many of the politi
cians of tm- sttite, forijlie Ipst twelve
months—:we mean of those men, who
once were, members of tlie Democratic
Party: their U ' werq Consolidation
Men, and they naturally obeyed, tlie word
of command. ThU new party were well
organized, and but f|f nf > lunate incident
would probably have progressed, unimpe
dpd in their wolj directed sfchemes. Tho
discussion of the subject of State Rights nt
Columbia, threw-great confusion into the
ranks of the members of the “ Compact
and ds it was impossible to mould to their
oam desires wlint should or should not be
considered a violation of the rights of a
State, and as they hnd at once to come to
the point itself, and upon this great ques
tion could not resort to their wontedoirac-
tice of trimming, BO, have these consistent
politicians in one short month from Con
solidation Mm become the advocates of
State Rights. The alternative was a
dreadful one—a loss of popularity at home,
or a second H chflrgc of abandoning their
party ; in their wisdom, and” with good
discretion’they chose .the latter. So much
fur„the amalgamating gentry. *
Of the three Candidates for the Presi
dency, two arc known to be in , favor of
Consolidation, and one favorable to State
Rights. Jackson and Adams on tlie one
side, Crawford on the other. Tito future
existence of the Southern und many of the
Western States, also of Louisiana depends
upon iHedecision which must before long
ho, given upon this subject. Wc repent,
therefore, that nil other considerations
should yield to it, and as we value, not onr
ly bur own rights and interests, but even
those of posterity* so let us be united in nil
effort to effect an object that will give sc*,
purity to these inestimable blessings.
Wc arc aware, that in this state we have
milch to contend with. Popularity; aver
vacilntiug, has in a measure departed frrftn
the old democratic party, and attached it
self to seccders, from its ranks, to men,
who in our estimation do propagate doc-
trinqs and establish opinions, far more
dangertms to our liberties than any thing
that eve)* emanated lrqm the most zealous
of tlie FcderaJ party. We must bear with
them, but watch them, closely; they have
already, as the Spanish prrtverb says,
“ Got into a.shiri of eleven yards,” and as
they are sustained upon no principle of
political solidity, wd niay Mi ll predict
tliat llicir existence will be.of short dura
tion. Connected .witl\ this subject, how
ever, it would: be well to observe, that
several’in this state w-fio are said to be
strong^ ConSQlidaiibn Men, have, as report
-goes, sold out all tlieii*jiroporty ofucertain
description.: •; ,1
Should a President ]ic elected favorable
to the doctrine ef constructive power, and
ft cabinet-formed of similar materials, wo
may prepare ourselves for much difficulty
and serious embarrassment; wc 'will then
hnivo to contend against the weight of
power in office, and the influence of pro
judiccs, and well organized opposition out
of office. Is it not wise and proper, tiien
‘.hat we should meet the evil at the thresh
old, and not suffer it to make headway
that we shoujej by a'concert that is prac
ticable, retain in our own liaudsnpQwer,
tiic loss of which we would so sepsibly

The following circumstance recently
occurred in a church in this city.
N. Y.Post.
The Rev. Pastor bad mentioned from
his pulpit, on the proceeding Sunday, that
a respectable shoemaker of bis congrega
tion, had requested him to preach a ser
mon from the 11th verse of the 12th chap
ter of Exodus, and that ho intended to
comply with this pious request on the next
Sunday. This sermon was preached ac
cordingly, on Sunday tho 5th inst. in the
iresencc of the son of St. Crispin, who
lad come to church prepared, it seems* to
make good tlie promise on his part. When
the Collection plate tvas handed round, he
drew from his pocket a pair.of new shoes,
suited to the parson’s measure, and depos
ited them in the plate. This well made
donation was not unobserved by tho wor
thy divine, who, ns he passed the clerk’s
desk, while tlie congregation was retiring,
very dexterously transferred the shoes
from the plate to his pocket, and thus dc
monstrated to his flock, that he was de
voted to the care of soles to the very last
and though a good friend to faith, yet that
good works were always acceptable.

The following appropriate notice
takfin, in the Louisville Public Advertiser
on the arrival of strangers from abroad to
visit the Western country:
‘It gives ns much pleasure to notice
the arrival of Messrs. Stanley, and Wort
ley, of tho British. Parliament, nt this
pince. We trust these, distinguished for
eigners will have no cause to blusli at the
energies of a peAplo descended from their
own stock, as displayed in the conquest
this wilderness, und in subduing it under
the mild sway of civilization. They will
not here find the refinement of Europe
yet they cannot biit be struck witli the
bone and muscle of an empire 'snatched
from tlie ferocious rule of tho savage, and
thus adding another leaf to the laurels of
civilized matt,”
