Opening of Ue Spring Trade?Advertising
The Spring: ??de for the year 1842 is beginning to
pen about thene clays, 1a this commercial metropois,
on a new and important footing. The auspices
le highly favorable?the prospects cheerful.
From all the events taking plac* around us,and from
be remarkable facts develeped lelative to the ???m|
traductions of this remarkable country, ii in very
vident, that in every species of wealth and industry,
his noble country is richer, healthier, happier, th?n
ne most sanguine imagined Be application* lor
letting ridot their debts, under the near Bankrupt
4w, seem to be utterly insignificant in point of
lumbers, influence, or character. Mot two hundred
tenon*, in nil our lav cities, bare yet applied, and
hose are jail such persons aa never add nny thing to
lataral wealth or natural industry. It w true the debts
if aome of the State* appear lam? and very heavy,
[mounting to about #200,000,000?but wnen it ia
mown that the surplus wealth of this country, for
>ne year, with economy and prudence, ia capable
if paying up one half of the debt, who should be
tightened, or talk of repudiation about the interest1?
Vith aa annual produce, ia agriculture, fisheries,
nines, forests, and manufactures, equal to 1600 milions
of dollars, it would seem to be very easy to reirganize
anew the state and general government
inanee*?to tannage the currency?and to complete
11 really Uselhl ptfWfc Works, be they railroads or
anals- Why then ahould not trade revive, and
mblic and private credit b? iavigorated, by puruing
a right and honest course of poliey 1 There ia
to obstruction, but what we find in the clamors of
. few paltry speculators out of Congress and State
-.'gislatures? and the folly and squabbling of m.ny
oolish legislators in both such public bodies.
Under this general aspect of affairs, there is every
irospect that the trade of IS 12 will revive?that pubic
and private credit will come up again?that the
tountry will go on to prosper, by punning right principles.
The first thing to be done, is, for Congress at once
o stop their squabbles, and to settle the cnrrency
md other qnentions. The next thing is, lor all the
uspended banks that can resume, to resume at once
-and to compel the rotten banks 10 wind up?dismiss
their incompetent or dishonest officers?and
nake them firmer*, to gain a livelihood. Too many
lave crowded the commercial and financial ranks of
ife,and too few have turned their attention to agrieulure
and honorable labor, which will always return
in equivalent, equal to hnman comfort and sustelance.
In this city, the prospect of real business has not
>een better since 1336 It is true Wall street is
town,and many of the speculator* there are in agony
-but Wall street is not New York?nor is New York
he State?nor is the State tho whole Union. There
sa vast quantity of hoalty business doing here, very
tuietly, on the right principles ens* er tkori arediit;
tod if Philadelphia, Baltimore,Mobile, New Orleans
nil the other large cities, would close np their
tten banks, aad compel their good hanks to reeonse
peoie payments, all would he as merry an n ohureh
ell in a spring morning. Take an instance?Bafialo,
n^thjn AMM, is without a bank?all are gooo?yet
Mr tjpMfeaped that the prospects for 1843 in Bufmvjfct?ff*ed
sound businens, were never better,
a PituAmrgh, they have on the stocks for this year,
ibout 30 naw steamers- This is a sample of all the
peat inland commercial towns.
With these general fiews, baaed on unquest.onaile
faots, we are positive that the trade for l?tt,
nil be better than that Tor any year since 1853,
irevided the commercial and financial classes, make
be start oa right principles?saoh as cash and atari
rwfc'fi a paper currency invariably payable m deaand
in specie?and the resuscitation of public credit,
y the imposition of lares, by Oongrtee and the Slate*,
9 pap their expenses honestly?and to meet the interest
a their public debu. Let us aot be any longer the
port of nasally politicians?Prendeat manufactxrers,
dishonest financiers, or bankrupt speculators.
It is time, therefore, for our commercial men to
egia mo ring?and the first movement to be made,
I to advertise liberally and largely in those news pen
that advocate sound doctrines in trade, and
are a general circulation over the whole country
mong the best and wandejt bnsinees men. Among,
lie first of this class is the Niw York Hxbald,
rhich has a circulation of nearly ffctriy thousand,
uooghont the Union, among ihe cash and short
redit mem of business. A word to the wise ie
nough. Let us take the first step aright, and all
rill end right.

I've jast returned from the Raleigh Democratic
Itate Convention, for the nomination of a democra*
ic Governor. Lewis D Henry, of course, was the
hoioe, though there is not the slightest possibility of
lis election. Governor Morehead is a man beloved
y all classes and parties, and therefore hia competing
should he have the temerity to stand the nomiation,
which is doubiful yet, will be "a used up
ma."
Temperance is progressing, groggeriee diminishtg,
and I hope our town will soon be cleared of
lem entirely. Let rational amusement usurp the
irone of debasing, humiliating rum, and we'll beome
a healthy, happy, prosperous people. Weathr
is fine ; already the genial glow of spriog 13 with
9. The fioeet and moat delicious fish that a New
orker would fain relish, are here in abundajce ?
had, ho royal fellows, they are four shillings per
air. Business is reviving; cotton, tobacco, rice,
vpentine, tar, ice., is on the raise, as the demand
1 increasing.
A couple of lads from the north, Philadelphia,!
elieve, named Masters B? 'band Young, wire doner?,
have been playing off great precocious talent,
i way of purloining money, watches, etc. from the
ifle rent personu with whom they have been putting
p within their perigri nations through the State.?
hough several turns apprehended, yet owing to
heir juvenile appearances, Ac., they were let slip
t? practice again.
I will here take an opportunity of saying a few
rords relative to a grand imposition practiced by
he railroad agents on th?* Rafeigh and Petersburg
oad. The Tare from Raleigh tofUston averages
ight cents per mile; Irom thence to Oarrybans, ten
ents per mile; Irom Garryeburg to Welden, twen?yive
cents per mil"; and purt of whieh distance you
aust walk in mad and water, three, five, and eight
sehendeep; baflgay shifted a hslf doxen times,
bsewn in raed and we, and sometimes lost. Imaiaer
friend Bennett* ike utility of ladies' shoes and
teekMfs, and driianM feet, trudgiog at midnight a

>f theKoaaoke, to the steamboat landing- Heaven

Not luring noticed in toy favorite " Herald,"
for a long time, any communication from tkii city
of piety, bypoeruy, gweaipping, and finnnceering,
wbere the deru plan hiarantuue met* unaenne
cloak of Christianity, I hare dared to treip&ia upon
your patience.
You will recollect that one Morris appeared
here last fall, with a company of juvenile dancer*
and comic linger*, the performances of which
highly pirated a large majority of our eitieens,
who aro aaver allowed to witne.-iany thing more
than a temperance lecture, a conference meeting,
or a party of old ladiea ever their eupi of tea. One
of Morris's company was guilty of the heinons
crime of iktwiigur knee joint tc the astonished
natives, during a " Highland Fling." which, of
coarse, coald not be submitted to by " Deacon
Bnmpated," and poor Morris was accordingly prosecuted,
under one of our " blue law** statute*.?
He was tried before the Superior Court, now in
SB-iion, and found guilty on two counts?dne, g60
each. That is, he is to pay $60 for exhibiting Mi?
Clementine's knee to the audience, and $60 more
for lending upon the stage a" Utile nigger in a
hag !" Such are the laws of old Connecticut! A
| mis would be fined here for kissing hie wife before
suniet on a Sunday.
The city has been thrown into an excitement,
during the past two days, by a thousand rumon
respecting a forgery seid to hare been committed
by a certain newspaper editor? These are the
ficts. Mr. Holhreok, editor of the " Patriot and
Eagle," a political paper, though not backed by
either of the two great political parties, was arretted
on Thuriday evening, on the charge of forging
the name of Woa Rogers, a respectable jeweller
of this city. The note, 0175, was drawn by
Holbrook.and Rogers'name was used upon its
back. It was discounted at tke Phoenix Bank,
an4 from there sent to the Hartford Ba-<k for col
lfCtion. The Cashier of the latter, " Old Spikes,"
who is eagle-eyed, suspectud lomething wroi<g,
and aceuidingly preaeuted the note to Rogers, who
pronounced the endorsement a forgery, and ao testified,
under oath, before a justice It wai alio
rumored that other notei, uisd by thii same Mr.
Holbrook, had been altered to larger sums than
as origieally drawn, after being endorsed. But this
matter was toon hushed, and Mr. II wai arrested
on the supposed forgery of Rogers' name. He wai
taken before a' juitice on Thursday evening, and
held to bail in the turn of $1200, to appear before
the taid iu?tiee this day. The case accordingly
eame before Justice Mann, (whose head i? by no
means transparent,) this morning, for examination,
and occupied the entire dir. Rogers, who swore
oa Thursday eveaiog, that he never signed the no e
in |qa->atioM, seemed^ to day, (by some meani r
othrr,) to be flouaeing about in the fog. He lud
doubts about the signature?did not know positively
bat he migHt have endorsed the aote?had endorsed
Mr. H.'i notes before, and in this case
miiibt hare doo? to, though he deaied it on Thursday
night. Under these circumstances, the prosecution
did uot deem it advieable to call him as a
witness, and the defence dare uot do it, because
the prosecution would, in that ereat, adduce his
testimony of Thursday night. The Caanier of the
Hartford, Phoenix, and Farmers* aod Mechanics'
Banks, swore that they considered the endotseaaeat
a forgery?that it did not ag ee with Rogers'
ueual signature, though it was a tolerable imitation.
The tellers of the bank* also gare evidence of the
same aature Other individuals, among the Bomber,
two brother* of Rogers', swoie that they believed
the aij|uature to be genuine. The Cashier
of tls Hartford luk, attempted to state aa evidence,
all that he knew about the affair?but this
the counsel of defeudeut would net eeneeat to, aad
finally succeeded in confining him to aueh questions
aa were aaked. Th? Jastlee thought the
evidence was not strong enough eommit him, aad
he was accordingly discharged. Hi* newspaper is
traasf-rrrd to other hudi, ihuugh to-day's aumber
appeared uoder hie name.
This aff tir baa created a great deal of exeitemeut,
?more than haa oocarrad aince eldor Knapp ap
peared here some twelve months since, some
think it was a little stretch of tho mod era aystcm
offinanoeering only,aad others exhibit wefal eouateuaaees

Tho District Judge will be bore oa Moaday, aad
the Court will open on Tuesdsy next, to consider

but few caees here. Coaaoctieut is a creditor, net

Mr O'scllivaw, from the commuter on the judiciary,
to which was referred a memorial from the
Mayor, Aldermen, and commonalty of the ciiy of
New York, for th? repeal of the law paved May 14,
KMO, for the nuw organization of the criminal courta
of the city ef Ntw York; aad also a bill to carry into
eifect the aaid repeal, Report*
The memorial thna referred to the consideration
w rail cummiufa bcih iohii inai inc i?w wi???bo i?peal
as prayed for, bus not produced that tlfect of
advancing the public interests, which it is to be presatined
must have been the design of the Legislature
bfftrhich it ?m enacted: that the Court ot General
S?9noa?, an at prevent constituted, hue neither been
thamsana of despatching the public business nor of
maintaining the public peace, to any greater extent
than under its older and better organization: that
der its former organization great benefit was derived
to the public from associating the alderman of
the city in the administration of criminal justice,
by ensuring public confidence in the judgments of
the court; by furnishing essential aid in the proper
apportioning af punishment; and by carrying into
eflfeet the design of the charter of the city, so as to
make the great end of criminal jurisprudence commensurate
with an enlightened public sentiment;
and that the law above referred to was passed contrary
to a great majority of the people of tha city,
aotwitnstanding the remonstrances of their reMMentatives
in the city and state governments, anawithout
the requisite constitutional vote.
So strong has baea tha repugnance of the people
of the city to this law, as represented in their municipal
councils, that ever since its passage the latter
have refused to recognise its constitutionality; have
refused to make appropriations for the salaries of
the additional judges appointed in pursuance with
its provisions; and have been engaged in angrjr and
protracted litigation with these officers, iu relation
to the payment of these salaries; while the novel
spectacle has been ever aince exhibited of a double
set of jadgesin occupation of the same bench, each
denying the constitutional or legal authority of the
other to the places which both have been unyielding
in maintaining; with occasions from time to time
arising in which the most unseemly collisions of authority
have been with difficulty avoided, only by a
mutual exercise of forbearance and good temper, an
the inexhaustible continuance of which it would not
nerhans. be wise alnavs to relv.
This committee consider it unnecessary to paute.
in view of the cogent reaaonsof expediency adduced
against the continuance of the law complained of,
to dwell upon the question of its constitutionality.
It has been tlrongly and urgently challenged on that
ground, as a violation of the chartered rights and
franchises of the city, of ancient date, of repeated
confirmation, aad of very recent ratification, both by
the Legislature and by the approval of the people ,
themselves interested, in convention assembled, j
The law was enacted without that majority of two*
thirds which the Constitution of this State expressly ]
declares requisite to every bill for " eTeatinp, eontij I
nuinf, altering or renewing any body politic or corporate."
That it did involve a very material altera-. '
tion of the charier, with reference ns well to the burthens
of the municipal expense# as to the ri^pHof
the people and the privileges of their eleetive authorities,
cannot be seriously question*d By a vote
af this house (89 to 13), at the session earning to that
at which the law refehed to was passed, the necessity
of a tw<* thirds vote to bills of this character 1
was expressly asserted, after an extended discussion
of the whale question. And although an adjudication
has been made by tha supreme court, favorable
to the eooftittttioaali'y of the law; yet it was mad*
by a divided bench, and oa grounds, as contained j
in the opinion delivered by one of the two members
of that tribunal, composing the decided majority,
wbich aeem to involve, notwithstanding its nice
technical distinctions, a virtual surrender of"the snail ,
question. Its ultimate decieioa by the Court for the
Correction of Errors, to which an appeal from the
judgment af the Supreme Court haa already been
taken, ia not a proper subject for speculation by this '
committee.
Tha committee repeat, that they deem it aaneoeasary
to ga further into a superfluous consideration of
this point oi view in which the obnoxieua law in
tpseetion ia peeutnted by the memorial retsrwd to
mem. They have thought it proper to be thus alluded
to, only for the sake of not letting the occasion
pass without aaaertiag the important principle
of legislative independence of judicial construction
on constitutional queetious. Even if the judgment
ot the Supreme Court bad been mere decisive in fa
V IP I Ul IUV SMUOUVMVIUHBIll VI IIIC IB T lUUi) WUCH
closely scanned, it is founa to be, it would, neverthe
lets, be net only the right, but the imperative
duty of the Legislature to repeal it immediately, if
their independent and paramount judgment on that
point should be adverse to the law, even though they
should find themselves at fferiance with any er all
the members of the judiciary in the State. They
proceed briefly to state two oiher leading grounds
on which, in their opinion, the prayer of the memorialists
in the present instance, without reference to
the constitutional question, ought to be granted, as
an act of wise and proper legislation, and the re- '
moval of an opprenive grievance.
In the first place, the operation of the law is to remove
from the bench of the Court of General Sessions
for the eity and county of New York the two '
aldermen who, by the charier of the city, were declared
constituent members thereof, substituting for
them two salaried judges with a five years' term of
office, and chosen and appointed, not by the people
themarlves locally interested, but by the extrsneona
authority of the Governor and Senate of the Bute.
To this feature in tbcir charter the people of the
ctty have proved tkemselvn particularly attached;
for net only did a general satisfaction prevail respectiag
the coastitntion of that tribunal, but not farther
back than the year 1W, when n city convention
was held for the revival and amendment of the
charter, in which body full and thorough discussions
were had upon most of the leading principles involved
in it. a proposition was expressly made to
deprive the aldermen of thia function, and to vest it
in professional judges, and expressly rejected. Nor
was it without well founded reason that thia principle
seems to have been thua carefully cherished by
Uie people of the city, in the orgawzu ton tf their
Eutcioal local criminal court, by placing upon its
nch, in association with a presiding legal judge, a
major ty of peraons drawn from the ranks of commou
life, responsible to the people, by election, for
their exercise of its powen and duues. A considerable
part of the maw of the co.uraumty come, in one
mode or another, within the reach of the action of i
such a court, either as witnesses, nccu-?ed or prosecutors,
er as connected through the various relations i
of hie with those thus more direcUy interested in its
busioe.-a.?independently of the interest pervading
the whoje in the proper administration of its powers,
fer the general maiauunance of the good order and I
3ood morale of the community. It m in the highest <
egree desirable that such a tribunal should pes- t
seas not euly the coiifi fence but the attachment of |
the people; nor is the committee aware of any mode i
in which that object could be better attained than <
by taking its incumbents thus from tune to time
from the body of the people themselves, and making i
them responsible to a vigilant pubUc opinion, by
frequent subjection to the approval or condeinna- <
tioa of the test of popular election. Simple as the <
principles of criminal law are, there is neither neceanity
nor propriety in placing on such a bench any <
greater amount of professional familiarity with its
practice than is abundantly secured iu tne perton
ol its presiding judge. L<*Kig continued occupation i
of a B'-at upon a criminal tribunal has been too often
known to produce a petnfyiag effect ou tbe ctinracMr
ot the incumbent, wub a n a rati aternneM of feel- |
mg aad bcaimu. predisposed to tbe aide ol prejudice
sgdinst ihe accused, aad ol severity in the inthcuon i

spirit which abould animate ibe administration of '
penal jaauce. It m well to piece ?ide by aide wub I
this trudency, on the criminal bench, a iMluiary tern ,
pering corrective, in the peraons ol aasociate judgea, i
unprofeaaioaal, elective, and subject to Irtqueai ro- i

in reference to the lair and juat measure ol punishmeat
to be meted out by the court, to the principle i
on which is founded the institution of the jury lor >

In uw mcmmI iMMf, uidrpciiikuuif ui the uruaiiia
above staiec^, there is yet another reason which
ought alone, in the opinion of the committee, lobe
decisive with this Legislature in lavor of granting
the application of the present memorial ?f the corporate
authorities of the city. The law which it is
proposed to repeal was passed by the Legislature of
1810, in diere?i?rd of the strenuous opposition of the
1 people of that city, through atl the accredited public
organs by whiek the wishes and will of a majority
of that people could express them** Ives lis entire
delegation on the floor of this body, f resh from a
recent popular election, by their voices and votes
protea ed against it. It* more immediate local representatives,
in the council* of the city, by oAicial
memorial remonstrated against it. It was thus r<
meant rated and protested against, not only as an unconstitutional
violation of the chartered rights of
tie city, but as at the same lime unnecessary, uncalled
for, expensive, at variance with the sound
principles which should regulate the organization
of a criminal court of that nature, and as being,from
the general train of circumstances attendant on its
passage, in a very high degree obnoxious to the
feelings and wishes ot a majority of the people ?
Such legislation, in the opinion of this committee,
unless for conclusive and urgent reason to the contrary,
ought rarely to bs allowed to stand on the statute
book a kiugle unnecessary hour after its repeal
is rendered practicable by the restoration, in the legislative
bodies, of counsels more in harmony with
the democratic genius of our institutions. In eivic
matters of this nature, compulsory legisla'ion from
abroad, by means of political majorities representing
other and perhaps distant sections of a State, ought
never to be brought in, to impose on !the people of
any particular city, important changes in the affairs
ot their nwn local self-government, alike unsolicited
and unwelcome. If very extraordinary circumstances
should, on any occasion, justify such an exercise of
the paramount legislative power, there were certainly
none such on the occasion here in question
And inasmuch as the people ot the city of New
York, through their representatives in this body,as
wall as in the city councils, have continued their
opposition to an act declared by themselves to be so
obnoxious to them, by urging its repeal both at the
past session and at the present, this committee?in
the absence of any good reason adduced in favor ot
its continuance, in the absence too of all remonstrance
against its repeal?would feel themselves
wanting in regard 10 me nni iuuuttmeuiai priacipir
by which oar legislation ought to be governed, it
they hesitated to report to the Houm a bill to carry
into prompt effect the w iehes and will el the people
solely and locally interested.
* And in accordance with these views the commit
tee report to the House the bill referred to them,
and recommend the passage of the came.
