TJncoiisiltnUblMtllty of Stay Laws.
A case came before Hon. Ellis Lewis at
?lie present June 'fe.-m of the Court at Lancaster
i':. in which the Jucgc decided that the art
if the Legislature of that Statt?, requiring a !
irdperty taken in execution to be appraised, and
that no sale should take place for one year after
he return of the execution, unless the propcrtt
could be sohl fortwo-thirds of its appraised value,
vas v>id and unconstitutional, at least as against
?fintraetjt entered into before the pas-rage of ibt
law. In delivering this opinion Judge Lsw:s
commented very freely on Ihe impolicy and had
tendency of f.-ll stop.laws, and insisted with great
lorce upon the importance of maintaining, at al
hazards and under all circumstances, the inviola?
bility of contracts. The State of Pcnnsylvanin
s greatly indebted to this same Judge for many
'sild and independent opinions which he lia
riven from time to time, whereby I he strong
rix irda of the law of the land have been throw:
round the tithts and immunities of her citizens,
which have been wrested and retrieved from popular
prejudice and political ricmagoguisrn. In refer
ence to the opinion alwvc mentioned, the Lin.
easier Democrat says " it was delivered orally,
and we regret that it was not reduced to writing,
n order that a copy might be obtained for publica?
tion. Few things have done more to injure the
crt dit of our citizens than these same stay-laws.
Repudiation of individual debts is as degrading
?ii r-hara-'.rr <>f a people as repudiation of ihe
public debt. But there is a bright day opening
?nr good old Pennsylvania. The virtue and it.
iclligence of her people, and her public servant.-,
and amongs-t the latter her honest and fearless Jti
diciary, will be a pure protection against the dc
gradation of puwlic orprivatc rrpudiation.''
Church of the Pilgrim*.
The Corner.Stonc of the "Church of the Pil.
grims,' an etiilicc about to be erected for the use
of a Congregational Church in Brooklyn, was
laid lust evening at fi o'clock, with the usual
ct r. monies. The site selected is a very thg blc
one, on the corner of Henry and Remscn-strccts.
Vfter an appropriate prayer by Rev. SMt
l.i- w is, Rev. Dr. Cox delivered an eloquent
and ingenious address, in which he set forth, in
Ins usual happy and forcible manner, the prin
cipiee and purposes ol those concerned in the in.
trrprise. He dwelt with appropriate emphasis
ujM.n those striking tr.iits in the character ol the
Puritans which must ever endear their memory
hi;.- friends of Liberty and Justice. Some "'
his allusions to histories] events, as weil as In
certain passages of Scripture, were exceeding!]
happy. He s.uu' it had been remarked ol Brook,
lyn that she could atl?rd to build Churches,
though she had nothing to waste upon Theatri s,
and he rejoiced that New. York, in her mighty
capacitiet for evil, operated as n common sew. r
t ' drain off the impurities which would otherwise
collect in their midst, so that they were left high
and dry above the dark waters of iniquity which
I (lowed at theii feel ! At the close of the addrt ss,
Rev. Dr. Stows, of Cincinnati, read a list <ii
the varimis documents and papers contained in
the boa to l>e deposited under the corner-stone.
The stone was then place?) in its proper position,

Tht audience was large and deeply interested in
the exercises. Tin Church, designed by Up?

It would he invidious to criticise these peform

while nil were creditable to the institution, same of
them bore evidence of fine scholarship and thorough
mental discipline on the part of their authors. In
point of elocution, the speakers were Certainly above

himself in this graceful acquirement above his tel

returned to rensacola.
The Texas papers were full of complaints
of the smuggling carried on over the Red River
boundary. The duties imposed by the Texan
Tariff on foreign importations average 3.1 J per
cent, and it is said that responsible men openly
offer to deliver goods front the United States for
III und 12 per cent.
The trial of Com. Moore was still progressing

In respect to the Indian troubles on the fron?

is certainly no less important to emigrants and

leave town without arms nndcompany "

the Island had at length begun to assume n more
settled state. President Guerrier had so far eiven
perfect satisfaction to nil classes of the population,
and the Chiefs of the Northern und Southern parts
of the Island have all sent their submission to the
new Government. Business was more active since
the last ii tren days, and confidence in trade was
universally restored. The market at Gonaives was
well stocked with all kinds of American produce.?
There was only one arrival expected from Huston.

dollar*, which remains in full force."
? PhWic Debt ? That term is soft enough for
the delicately sensitive ears of .Monroe Edwards

Bibb is in this predicament. He has, however,
placed his resignation of the Chancellorship on
the ground of the inadequacy of the salary?a

Correspondence of The Tnhune.
Mor-T A:*v.-A>. June :Ttb. 1-44.
With all the uniform ana DMparing beatings ,
which the Whigs of Alabama h.ivc received, they |
src not yet used up: hut are battling away for ,
victory with as much earnestness and vigor as if j ,
they were used to it. The Lncn-Focos arc bring?
ing ail their forces, legal and illegal, to bear upon !,
us in every way possible.
Tfic Texas question is their high horse, and |
they ride it with both whip and spur. They con- .
tend that their party is the Texns party?that |
the- overthrew Mr. Van Buren cxpre>.-Iy on this
ground, snd that t o because Annexation was
?i Southern measure Thev forge! that Mr. Van
Buren w-.s the - trv Southern" candidate four
vears ago. whilst he hold the same opinions on
Annexation that he now does And they go so
far as t > s.:v, that 'heir party is the "Southern
partv" in all its principles and measures, and that
the Whigs are rmthinginorc in fact Uianrnerntes
in disgms*?. aidirg the ctus" of the Abolitionists.
You are a-.vnre. perhaps, that these assertions,
which an- nude with ail possible plausibility, arc
calculated to give them grett advantages in thts
particular section of the Union. For besides all
the sectional prejudices which they have siicceed
cd in keeping ap heretofore, the immediate annex?
ation of Texas is urged iere nn purely sectional
grounds, as a means o.'* strengthening the slaye
hotding States against the North, and otherwise
benefiting; and sustaining' Southern Institutions.'
I have seen it remarked that this great Texas
excitement was instigated and sustained mainly
by "a few land speculators;*1 hut. sir. this is a
mistake. Thev arc far from " lew" in numbers
You can scarcely find hull'a dozen men together
in trny of our wealthy neighborhoods, but that
?ome of them have possessions m Texas. And
I have never yet heard of a "Texas meeting"
that was not attended by some who were pecu?
niarily interested, and these are usually the wire?
pullers. Hundreds and thousands of our citizens
a<e owners of Texas lands, which they bought at
from 10 to 50 emls per acre; and which, after
annexation, would be worth from 1" to 15 dollars.
Tiie>=c men. so far as I have seen, are all hot for
" Polk. Texas, and Southern Institutions."
In ?ddition to thc*c, we have scores of rtctlial
citizens of Texas, and many Iii",h functionaries
ofthat Government, amongst us. Throughout
the entire Spring our steamboats were continually
freighted with these Annexation mi-sionaries ; so
thaftfearly every village ha? its porti'-ti of these
staiionnl about its corners, while their cx-Prcsi.
dent is going altout haranguing the multitude for
"immediate annexation." And then, we have
the illustrious Knight and chivalrous General of
the South Carolina Militia, James Hamilton, ol
' Sugar' memory, ranging from New Orleans to
Charleston, writing letters, and "dining when
asked," and making speeches. The result of this
is, that Tex ts speeches areas plentiful as Sabbath
sermons, and " annexation letters" as common as
shinplasters in '37. You have perhaps seen the
attempt of this renowned ' Minister ol the young
Republic,' to establish his disinteres'edr.tss in
this grand project. He stated in a speech at Sa?
vannah that he only held Texas bonds to the
amount of about forty thousand dollars; but for.
gut to mention h<s planting interest in that coun?
try, and the drove of negroes which he went over
tu bring hack to this country only a few months
igo ; but. finding a prospect of doing something
it annexation, lett them, and returned on this
mis-ion.
fins ' P"!k and Ti x is' party arc coining out
a Utile bolder than before their success m over,
throwing Van Buren. They have frequently re
solved ol lute, at their pu'die meetings, that llu-y
must have Texas immediati iy or ?hi v will iokc
measures to dissolve our Union. And ihey have
commenced passing resolutions at their Texas
meetings in South-Carolina, in favorof going
about nullifying the Tariff! Here, m these re
cent movements, we have evidences ol the foun
datum and objects of this incessant agitation and
eflbri to establish a gn at nnitid Southern pan -.
?Hi tine Texas h i?is. Ji is ti dissolve our hal?
lowed Union and form a ' Southern Republic * us
strong us possible, in which the chance nf being
head man would be bi tter for some people, as't is
surmised, than it now is. I have long suspected
tins, and have to en particular to enquire into in?
dividual opinion and feeling on this subject, and
I honestly assure you ihat, with extensive oppor.
tunnies of inquiring, 1 have not met three " im.
mediate Annexationists" who are n it decidedly
in favor of dissolving the Union. In view of all
these things, you will not be surprised when I
express the opinion, thai ii then1 could a difficulty
arise betw een our Government and that ul Texas,
a very large portion, perhaps a majority of the
people of this State, would join with the latter.
Truly, you will say, the Whig parly has much
to contend with in Alabama; and yet they arc
as spirited in their labor as though't were nevi r
so light. While our adversaries go for Polk.
Texns, and Free Trade, we will fight under the
St tr-Spangled Bannerol Clay. thr. United States.
and Fan Trade in all things?and if we are
beaten we will lie beaten, not from the field, hut

The Whigs of North Castle hud an old-tashioned
gathering last Suturduy evening to form u Clav Club.
The Log Cabin was filled with the true-hearted
Whigs of this town, including a small sprinkling ol
the right kind from White Plains and Rve.
The meeting was addressed by Alex. H. Wells
and James E. Beers. Esqrs. who were received
with repeated cheers, and who gave us just the right
kind ?ftalk.
A ('lav Club was organized?Job Sands, ournew
Whig Supervisor, was appointed President?James
Banks and William A. Husted, Vice Presidents,and

Spirited resolutions w. re passed, and when it was
announced that five persons were present who voted
lor Van Buren in 1840, and who were determined to
vote lor Clav in 1B-14. there went up a shout from
the meeting w hich awakened toe echoes of1840, and

pEORtA Wbio Co.nvk.ntiox.?In the last St

of the Whig .Mass Convention, held at Peoria
Illinois, on the 19:h inst. It ?rasa glorious ra!:v

taries "Ut numbered the enure mass of an ordin
a y Loco-F.-o-o meeting. The procession was
more than a raiie long. The multitude passed a
resolution, and ratified it with tnree cheers, that i

Charces on Commerce.
TtUu Editor cj The Triune: ,
Tnc E^i.inir P.trf 01 laW having nad much to
,hj on Free Trade, our restrictive, oolicy and ihe
heavy imp^ns practised nn our shtpp-ng in
texest by the Black Tariff. I hare been induced
10 look into it to see if there was not consider*,
blemore naid ?" Foreign G .vcrnmcrits than our
nwn. and whether a little of the censure ducted
.gainst them would not be of service : and I have
iscertained that, br.d as we treat the shippng in
tercet, all other nations make ours pay more.
Here i? a sample: Take an American ship s
char-cs a; the Port of Liverpool, say of B*>? tons:
the dock fees arc Is. 6d. per ton; th? woaW
amonnt to.?" *
Th" average lime < f lying there is
about -><' days. The Light money, that
is the privilege of seeing the Brttsl.
Lights, is Is. li-i.per ton. ?
Sj??ti 50
Now, on this side of the water, take
New. York, the same ship would pay for
20 days' wnarfage... "5< M
For L'gh' money, nothing.
Balance pud ou'r Brother Bull is.. .. 599 i">
This, onashipthatmakeslhree trips tnaye.tr to
Liverpool, amounts to something rather more
than the duty of a chaincable, which lasts eight
or ten years.
Now let us take a contiguous Island, where an
immense number of American vessels congre?
gate, and where they have always been ready to
carry out Free Trade in theory to humbug the
rerdants. I mean Cuba.
What are the [?ort charges there on an Amen
can ship of 314 tons? In Havana, say... 669 i"i
Iu New. York. ~. 00
Besides, in Cuba they charge ?10 per barrel
on Fluur; on Beef $.'1 per barrel ;on Pork ?4 per
barrel; and all other articles of luxury in pro?
portion.
Again, there is another country with which we
have a large trade, nnd we their great staple.
Coffee, duty free?Brazil. Now, what does she
do in the way of Free Trade on our staples
Why, she only charges on Flour $3 per bbl ; on
Cottons -J.") per cent.; on Beef 53 84 per barrel;
on Pork 34 ?0 per barrel. This too is a neigh
bor, and we have bought of her in the last live
years S25.652.999, and she has had of our pro?
duce only 813,920,028, at the above rates of
duly. I sec to-day they have doubled the duty
i>n Cottons.
P>rt charges for a vessel of 300 tons at Rio for
?J") days, is..".. 8314 00
In 'New-York. 25 00
If the Editors of the Post would like sonic
more Free Trade Countries' charges, such as
Spain and France, they shall have them.

To tht Editor of Th' Tribune :
As the people of New-York are now frequently
making the inquiry, " Who is D.-. Elliot,the Buck
eve of the West," 1 feel it important for the cause
of Temperance, and Gospel Monopoly, that nn nn
swer Biiould be given through your paper. It is
generally understood that Dr. Elliot is a Temper
nice lecturer; but it ought aiso in he understood, or
raiber, well known, that he is an extraordinary one.
He has labored long, ami with great zeal and effect
fur the cause, und is one oi those who is well calcu?
lated lo nrouse t" cetivity und life the energies

Co describe his sty ie of lecturing would be, lor me,
an iinposeihility. It is a style peculiarly his own.
Vs lie sat s himself, he always begins in the middle
nnd trie* :n make berth ends meet. But if hi- lec?
turing be w ithout system, it is not wirhnui, (feet.?
Wherever he goes the '? Rum--' lling-Club-Li< BO

ui turning inin ridicule all ihe objections that can I"
urged lor not signing the pledge," and be ihies
ibis in such a strange way a? to make iho objector
laugh at himself. As hef lectures, so also he sings;
and racti lecture is interspersed with ihree, lour in
live songs, t hese are always well chosen and to
the puiiit. Siime r.f his pathetic melodies, when
.-uric with a falsetto, in which it appears to me he
excels, nre trulv i ffeciive. They come home to the
heart and wio the soul. But. mat everyone may
form an opinion lor himself, we would recommend
nil to go and hear him whenewr he makes his ap
peamnce in New \ ? rk. Altiany 1ms engaged him
for ihe Four h, and we understand ihm b> solicita?
tion he bus consented to truvel through its Eastern
Suites at the close of the engagement. All who

Almost a Duel.?We learn from the Saratoga
Sentinel that a decidedly rich affair came off in the
place ihe other day at a party given by a knight of
the razor. It seems that a genteel darken from
New-York or Philadelphia unceremoniously entered
the mom and approached a ?bright particular star'
with language which her indignant husband con?
sidered unbecoming, and thereupon demanded an
explanation, instead of which he received a chal?
lenge to mortal combat. The challenged party, mi?
ller pretence of going out to choose a friend, took
immediate measures for the arrest of his antagonist.
Ai'ier u patient und laborious investigation, the
lotirt. upon the evidence of the friend of the chal?
lenger, came to the conclusion that he intended it
unly us a joke, and discharged him.
