up. if possible, a disturbance. The plan proposed
by the perturbators is not very well known, but it
is believed to be this : A procession is to be form

proceed along the Boulevards and the Rue le

Napoleon resides, and there he is to be saluted

Should it succeed, furt{ncr demonstrations. would

Tue GoLo Recions.—Letters have been received
in this city, from the capital of Mexico, contuining
later advices from California than any which have
yet been published. One of these lctters, from an
iacolligent gentleman, and who is well informed on
the suiject, states that further discoveries have
been made 0 the gold re'gion, which yield even &
more abundant s2prly of the article thun the pre
vious “ diggings.” Tu2 quantity gathered already
amounted to at least $lOO,OOO daily, and was con
stantly increasing, without, np,mremlz, an ea
haustion, or uny limit to the supg:y. There was a
great deal of distress among all the diggers for the
want of the common necessaries of lite, and at
tended with very extensive sickness and mortality.
Men loaded witlyn gold appear like haggard vaga
bonds, clothed in filthy and tattered garments of
the meanest kind. It is stated that one man who
had two barrels of brandy, sold them out at the
mines, by the small wine-:lan, at rates which re
alized him $ll,OOO in gold. Every thing, and par
ticularly articles of food and raiment, were at most
unheard of prices, for gold was plenty and in the
pouec'oinn of every one, that it secined to have lost
its value.
Daily additions were made to the number em
plyed in digging, though as yet no Bonion of the

had arrived. The first arrival of provisions and
other supplies will no doubt realize lurger profits
than any previous instances that can be found in

PROVIDENCE,
Saturday, January 13, 1849,
E#" There seems to be little disposition on the:
part of the Whig press to correct the error into
which many of them have unwittingly fallen by
adopting the reckless and false assertions of the
New York Express and Tribune in relation to
the late decision of the U. 8. Supreme Court, in
the case of Martin Luther vs. Luther Borden and
others, After having followed the example of
these rabid prints in assuring their readers that
Dorriemm has received its everlasting quietus, they
sit silently down, and offer scarcely a nod of re
cognition to the plain denial of thewr statements
which the facts in the case comprise.
This is unfair, even beyond the standard erect
ed by Whiggery itself. It is grossly unjust, as
well towards the Supreme Court as towards the
people who feel an interest in its decision. It is
calculated, where these false representations are
believed, to destroy confidence in the integrity as
well as in the wisdom of the Court. It is a libel
upon common sense, and an insult to the spirit of
the age in which we live,
What would be thought of a Court in this De
mocratic Republic which shonld decide against the
cause we advocate—against Dorrism, if the reader
please '=which should say that the people have
not the right to change their form of government
without the request or consent of their legisla
ture I—which should deny the superiority of the
creator over the thing it has ereated ; and, like the
child denying the authority of its parent, swear it
| sell out of existence, for the sake of ridding itself
iof a natural connection with a pre-existing and
parental power? The Conatitution of the United
States. under which the Sn[xeum Court is organ
ized, fulls to the ground the very moment Dorr
ist is overthrown ; for that Constitution was form
ed by the very same anthority which is claimed by
the friends of suffrage in Rhode Island as a justifi
cation of their course. It is a Dorrite constitu
tion—a constitution which was not authorized by
previous law—the framing of which was not cal
led for by law, and the adoption of which, if the |
Algeriue doctrine is true, was wholly illegal and
invalid. The decision of the Bupreme Court, 1
then, against Dorrism and in favor of the Alge- |
rine principle, would be a positive and plain de- !
nial of the legality of its own existence ; a blow at ;
the platform on which it rests. And shame and |
everlasting ridicule would follow the Court, su- ]
preme or inferior, which would thus eutrage com
mon sense and deny its own existence. ]
But the Court has made no such decision ; and
the people onght to kno v it. They will know it, f
in good time, in spite of the studied attempt of }
Whig editors to shaffle the truth out of sight.— |
And the shout of victory which Whiggery has ‘
thus raised prematurely, will give way to a moan
of defeat which the late decision will much better 4
Justify. The declaration of the Court that our l
question is beyond and above its jurisdiction, is a |
plain admission that our doctrine is truc ; for the |
Court hias not denied and will not deny that it is |
competent to decide upon the constitutionality of |
any legislative enactment. It is plainly saying ]
that the question belongs with the people, and that
neither their legislative nor judicial servants can
take it out of their hands. ,
But, our eppononts say, the case submitted to 4
the Court has been decided against Mr. Luther, j
and Mr. Luther depended on Dorrisin to sustain |
his claim for damages. Let us sece. Mr. Luther 1
submitted his case to a lower Court and the de
cision was against him; more properly, the Court
ruied against him by permission of parties, with
the understanding that the points at issue should |
be carried to the highest Court in the conntry.—
The case was thus carried up—Mr. Luther rely
ing chiefly on a single point, for the redress which
he had claimed in the Court below. He claimed
that at the time of the trespass charged, the Char
ter government had been legally and rightfully
displaced by the new or People’s government, and
offered to prove this fact to the Court. The Court
decide, not that this question is unimportant, nor
that Mr. Luther's claim is unjust, but only that the
question submitted to it is beyond its jurisdiction—
that it is not forany Court to say whether the peo
ple have a right to change their government with
out the consent of their legislature. Under these:
circumstances, it cannot of course afford any re
lief to Mr. Luther, who only hoped for it in case
i the Court should feel authorized to decide the
question—the very question of Dorrism—which
“he submitted to it, and which was ably argued, by ;
' Messrs. Hallett and Clifford on one side, and |
Whipple and Webster on the other. |
There is another question, connected with this,
on which the Court does not offer any opinion,
but follows an established rule operating against
Mr. Luther. The question is an inferior one, so
far as our present argument is concerned—for it
is a mere question of fact: whether the new or
People’s government, was at any time the govern
ment of the State. In disposing of this, the Court |
follows the decisions of our own State Courts, in -
accordance with the rule above referred to, without
any reference to their justice. It does not say that |
the Rhode Island Courts decided correctly, but
only that the Supreme Court never interferes with |
their decisions in matters of this character, It
would have said the same if the Rhode Island t
Courts had decided differently. It would have °
said the same if the Algerine Courts had been dis- !
placed bygthcu under the People's government, )
and these had decided in Mr. Luther's favor. It !
says, also,—~though probably with some qualifica- :
tion which the political letter writers have not giv- |
en us—that the nction of the President in offering
to interfere, was conclusive ; but it does not say
that the action was right. It does not justify the
particular act, on principles of law and justice, but
only admits the right of the President to act in the
premises without interference from the Court.—
These latter points affect the case in Court, to
some small extent, but Dorrism is not involved in
them, and has not received its quietus in their de
ecision. !
But we have no wish to preach a sermon on a
text which is already sufficiently plain. We only
wish to call attention to the real facts in the case,
and to the base misrepresentations of our oppo
nents. We are sorry that the Court did not offer
an opinion on the great question between our
selves and those who claim to be the especial
friends of law and order; but we by no means
admit that its decision against us could have avail
ed more than the decision of the child against the
authority of its parent. It would have been left
for our enemies, who contend that the servant is
superior to the master, in this case, to hang their
heads in silence, over a decision against them.
They are saved the pang it would have cost them,
by this flying-off of the Court. and only incidental
proclamation of the justice of our cause.
Corp.~Last Thursday morning some of the
thermometers in our city pointed to eight degrees
below zero, others to fonr and five. In Cumber
land they talked down to 12 and 14 below. That
will do for this season.
“I am susiained bhy the decisions of the highest
judicial tribunal in the Union, in the opinion, that
while the relations of the inhabitants of the newly
acquired territory with their former government
are dissolved, and new relations established be
tween them and the government of the United
States, to whow their allegiance is now transfer
red, yet, that the laws which regulated the inter
course and general conduet of individuals within
that territory at the time of the trangfer, remain in
foree until altered by the newly created power.
Among the laws of Mexico in foree, within this
u-rritor|y nt the time of its acquisition, was one for
ever abolishing slavery. %e change of sover
eignty over the territory, has not affected the va
lidity of the force of this law, which, according to
the established principles of international law, and
the decisions ol our own conrts, remains in farce
and is olwrutiva at the preseut day, to the exclu
‘sion of slavery from that territory.”
’ The foregoing paragraph is from the message,
‘ lately published, of Governor Fisu, of New York.
It is precisely the doctrine of the Demoeratic par
ty, as proclaimed in the late campaign, and as very
‘clearly set forth and ably defended, by Chancellor
Walworth, of New York, who was the Democra
tic eandidate for Governor against Fish. Wal
‘worth, we recollect, was styled the pro-slarery can
didate by all the Whigs during the campaign ; and
the same journals which now publish and applaud
the message of the successful candidate, copied
from the Freb Soil papers, in and out of the State,
the most rabid denunciations of the doctrine which
it asserts, when the letter of our own candidate,
asserting and defending the same doctrine, male
its appearance. How beautifully consistent these
dear anti-slavery Whigs have shown themselves !
How sincere and conscientious they must have
been when they denounced the Democratie poliey
as culculated to extend and perpetnate slavery !
The doctrine laid down in this paragraph from
the message of Governor Fish, is the only one on
this point which reasonable men can adopt; and
the conclusion to which it brings us is the only
one which we can possibly arrive at, from a can
did examination of the whole subject. It follows
that those “Free Soil” agitators, who woull have
ns believe that every thing depends on legislating
slavery out of the new territory, are throwing
away their labor, and following a mere fanciful
illusion—a refined political humbug It follows
that the policy of General Cass, to let alone the
subject, so far as Congress is concerned, is the
true one, and if adopted, wonld prevent the intro
duction of slavery to every inch of the territory
acquired from Mexico. The South perceived
this plainly enough, months ago; and though it
affected to deprecate the agitation which must fol
low any action upon the subject by Congress, it
refused to adopt the only course which cquld for
ever set the matter at rest, without interfering or
sceming to interfere with its own constitutional
rights. T'rue, it did once offer to refer the matter
to the Courts, which Gov. Fish tells us would
have settled it in favor of liberty ; but when its
magnanimity was assailed by Northern fanatics,
who could not bear to let well alone, it lost sight
of the true strength of its position, and rels'ng on
its numerical strength in the Senate, acknowledg
ed the right of Congress to legislate (firectly in fa
vor of or against its favorite institution, and threw
itself’ again ypon the wild sea of agitation. It de
feated General Cass for no other reason under
Heaven than because he had taken the ground
briefly set forth in the extract above, and had de-
nied the right, as well as the necessity, to legislate
“upon the subject. It is not the least strange of
the things which occurred in the campaign but
lately brought to a close, that while the South was
acting thus, the North joined with it in denouncing
Cass for his position on this exciting question, and
helped to defeat him, on the ground that his poli
cy was too favorable to slavery. For the sake of
consistency, we may expect to find these same
conscienttous haters of slavery denouncing Gov
ernor Fish, and proclaiming him the tool of the
South. The honest Greeley will of course do at!
Correspondence of the Cincinnati Gazette,
Important from Baton Rouge—-The Views
of General Taylor,
Batox Rovae, Dec. 15, 1848.
I have just made a visit to the “ White House,”
in which resides that good old man we have seleet
ed to bring about a much needed reforin in the af
fairs at Washington. I found Gen. Taylor not ex
actly in cainp, but dwelling in a snall house of as
humble pretensions aas himself, in the garrison here.
General Taylor told me that he was already over
whelmed wilf; applicationa for oflice, 8o much so
that it occupied nfi his time not necessarily devoted
to business, to read the numerous letters, many of
which are long and tedious, so that it is quite out
of his power to give answers,
“ Besides,” says the General, “ 1 am not yet Pres
ident, and when lam, let these applications be
made through the proper departments, and if it is
wished to remove an incumbent, let it be shown
that he does not answer the Jeflersonian standard
for an office holder, and that the applicant does ;
for as far as lies in my power, I intend that all new
appointments shall be of men honest and capable.
1 (ro not intend to remove any man from office be
cause he voted Ix‘lillll me, K»r that is a freeman’s
privilege ; but such desecration of office and official
patronage as some of them have been guilty of, to
secure tgc election of the master whom they served
as slaves, is degrading to character of American
freeinen, and will be a good cause for removal of
friend or foe. The o(gccs of the government
should be filled with men of all parties ; and as [
expeet to find many of those now holding to be
honest good men, and as the new appointments
will of course be Whigs, that will bring about this
result. Although Igo not intend to allow an in
discriminate removal, yet it grieves me to think
that it will be necessary to require a great mu\{ to
give place to better men, As to my cabinet, I in
tend that all interests and all sections of the coun
try shall be represented, but Nort as some of the
ncmgnpcrs will have it, all parties. [ama Whi%
as I have nlwafa been free to acknowledge ; but
do not believe those who voted for me, wish me to
be a mere partisan President, and I shall therefore
try to be a President of the American people. As
to the new territory, it is now free, and slavery can
not exist there without a law of Confircss author
izing it, and that I do not believe they will ever
pass. I was opposed to the acquisition of this ter
ritory, as 1 also was to the ncq'uisitiun of Texas.—
I was opposcd to the war, and, alihough by occu
pation a warrior, I am a peace man.”
Upon the subject of improving our great rivers
and lakes, the friends utP that measure may rest
:aliufled that they have a friend in President Tay
or.
Gen, Tn¥l()r was cixv.{- four years old last No
vember. He is now hale and hearty, and in the
full enjoyment of his natural strong intellec,al
faculties.
EF” The foregoing is headed “Important”, but
we mwust say that we attach to it no importance
whatever. So far as it points to the future, even
allowing its authority, it amounts to nothing. It
is a very careful, non-committal, dish-water mess
—pretty much after the sert we have been ge'ting
inlittde and large doses, thisyearback. Gen. Taylor
will remove no man for having voted against him
==but < 'hemn ! that is to say, but! Well, but
what ?—\Why, this, simply—that any man who has
“desecrated” his office by electioneering; must
walk the plank. . Every man amongst all the of
fice-holders, who has net put a bridle upon his
tongue, as thongh he were owned, body and soul,
by the government which gave him employment,
must be set adrift, as worthless chaff, and unfit for
office under General Taylor. This may be good
doctrine when proclaimed by the President of the
United States; but when proclaimed, as we blush
to say it is, by other employers, it is very general.
ly denounced as an ontrageous tyranny, and de
serving the execration of every man whose soul is
not given over to the most contemptible meanness.
We may remark that this of Gen. Taylor, is pre
cisely the doctrine proclaimed by General Harri
son on his accession to the I’residential honors, and
under the working of which a little millicn of
Democratic necks were brought to the block.—
Under it now, almost every office-holder in the
country, whose services are worth two figs to the
government or any body else, can be thrust out ;
it being understood, of course, that General Tay
lor is to decide who has “desecrated” his office,
“on the representation of Whigs alone.
L “As 1o the new territory,” says General Taylor,
“it is now free, and slavery cannot exist there with,
out a law of Congress anthorizing it, and that I do
not believe they will ever pass.” All very well,
General, so far as it goes. But will you nottell
us what you will do, if Congress does pass such a
law T Or, suppose Congress pass a law prohibiting
slavery in the new territories, what will you do
then! o far as you go, on this poeint, you are
on the Democratic platformn; but dare you go so
far as to say that Cougress has no power to pass
a law authorizing slavery any where ?
“I was opposed 1o the acquisition of this territo.
ry, as | ulso was to the acquisition of Texas. |
was opposed to the war,” &e. Why didn't you
say 80, six wonths ago, when the question was put
to you in plain terms ! Then your opinions were
“unimportant,” and you had “luid it down asa
principle’” not to answerany such guestions. Now,
you were opposed to the war and almost every
thing else. Three months ago, and this declara
tion would have saved you the trouble ofa trip to
Washington.
Well—as we said in the beginning, all this does
not amount to anything. It is mere fustian, and
worse than that: it is a humbug. The tone of it
only has any meaning, and this can be changed,
when necessary, without any ehange of the words.
We do not charge General Taylor with any at
tempt to deceive ; but we think we may say safely
enough that there is a good deal of wmica in the
gold offered us by his Whig friends.
We admit that the question whether a majority
of the Eeople of one State, or of one county or
town, have a rightin their primary capacity and
without reference to the existing laws, to change
their form of govermmnent, has not been decided by
the Supreme Court. No such question has ever
arisen, and of conrse, no such question can have
been carried there.—Journal of yesterday.
It no such question has arisen, then Daniel
Webster made a very wild mistake when he de
voted several hundred dollars’ worth of labor to it,
in the Supreme Court, last winter. 'What did he
argue that question for, if it had not been carried
there 7 Certainly the Journal cannot have forgot
ten that he was hired to discuss this very question,
and nothing eclse—(Mr. Whipple giving his atten
tion to minor points)—and that he did discuss it,
according to Algerine authority, with singular suc
cess, making it as clear as mud, to say the least,
that the people have no right to change their form
of government without the anthority of “‘previous
positive law.” It has not forgotten—though it
would like to forget, undoubtedly—that it has
all along predicted that this very question would
be decided against us, and that only last Saturay
it gravely informed its readers that it had been so
decided! And it knows well enough that this is
the question which divides parties here; which has
been discussed in the Democratic papers—the
Whig papers declining to do anything more than
misrepresent facts and fling ridicule at their oppo
nents ; that it was submitted to the Conrt and ar
gued at length by counsel; and thatthe Court has
now got rid of it by saying that is a question be
yond their jurisdiction—thus virtually admitting
that it belongs to the people, in their sovereign
capacity.
The Journal, in another part of the same arti
cle from which we have quoted, in speaking of
Judge Woodbury, says:
“Ile agrees with the other judges upon every
other point, and goes off in a dissent upon the
question of mnniafi law. His coneurrence on the
main points is a bitter thing to the Dorrites,” &ec.
What doesthe Journal mean by the main puints ?
The first point we consider the main one, and so
did the Court; and this they decline to give any
opinion upon. The next point is disposed of by
saying that “the federal Courts, under one establish
ed rule of decision, follow the State tribunals on
questions arising under its own laws.” ‘The third
point is, that the President may judge, in cases of
dispute, as to which of two State governments is
the legal one, and that his decision though it may
be wrong, it is beyond the reach of the Court.—
The fourth asserts that the Legislature may es
tablish martial law—that is, may suspend the gov
went under which it exists. From this last, which
is the only decision of the questions submitted
which does not grow out of the first, aflirming want
of jurisdiction, Mr. Woodbury dissents. If his a
greement or disagreement in these cases is a “bit
ter thing for the Dorrites”, it is fortunate for us,
perhaps, that we cannot perceive it.
Mork or Tur Same Kino.—The Providence
Journal continues its scurrility toward Thomas
W. Dorr, to graufy some of the Algerine Whig
groundlings of Providence, to complete the con
sideration for the service of plate bestowed on the
Jonrnalist in 1845, and to exhibit his peculiar abili
ties in this line of abuse.
There is an additional explanation of the course
pursued by the Journal toward Mr. Dorr, to be
found in the fact, that, some years before the
“troubles” of 1842, as we are informed, Mr. Dorr
“discontinned the acquaintance” of its editor, as
“not fit to be made" ; and the Journalist, having a
paper at his control, has ever since consoled him
self’ for his aggrievement by these scurrilons effu
sions; and, like a certain ill-savored quadruped
of the woods, resorts to his readiest and strongest
means of evincing a displeasure.
Goixag Over.—The Boston Times, which has
been till recently ranked among the reliable demo
cratic papers, exhibits symptoms of a movement
across the lines, in equivocal articles, which seem
to be propitiatory of the powers that are soon to
be. It speaks glibly of the “Dorr rebellion”, but
not yet of the “horrors of democracy apd equal
rights.” As the Times is an able paper, we sin.
cerely hope that it may save itseif from the quick
sands of T'aylorism and Algerine Whiggery.
Onto.—~The Democrats have elected their
Speaker in the House by a vote of 37, against 33
for the Whig candidate. The contested seats
have not yet been filled. A committee appoiuted
to count the votes, reported Weller, Democrat,
elected—but the old Speaker refused to listen to
it, or to submit the case to the IHouse, and pro
claimed the election of Ford.
Fire.—A fire broke out in this city on Thurs
day morning last, about 2 o’clock, in a barn owned
by Williams Thayer and ocenpied by Edward Ash
ton, situated on Well street, which, together with
the barn and dwelling-house adjoining, were con
sumed. Mr. Ashton lost a pair of horses, a chaise,
harnesses, &c. The dwelling house was insured
for s6oo—the barns were not insured. The fire
ia thought to have been the work of an ineendiary.

destructive British tariff.” makes sad inroads npon
the agricultural interests of this country. These
same “labore’B’ are such huge feeders that they
even regulate the rriceu of our grain and meats.
Last year alone, those of Britain devoured over
837,000,000 worth of vur breadstufls and provis
