It is the List night but one uf this gentlemen's en
gagement.
The New York papers contain an account of ann*
ther serin* of forgone* just dp|prit*d in that city.—
Th<> guilty party fa one Jolmron, of the firm of Kiik
& Johnson, who has been negotiating in Wall street,
note* to the amount of over fifty thousand dollars,
with the forged endorsement*of Hoortnau & Johnson.
It was detected by the offer in Wall street, of one of
these notes, which (he broker sent to Moorman &
Johnson for examination, where it was pronounced a
forgery . Mr. George Johnson, one of the parties,
ha* been arrested; John G. Kirk, die other partner,
ha* escaped.
In New Orleans, the fir®t and second tellers of the
Commercial Bank, have been detected in defrauding
die Hank out of about >26,000.
Mobile Lodge No. 2 of the Order of Odd Fellows
will open a new Halt this evening, at the corner of
foriti and Commerce street*:. The exercises are, we
suppose, strictly private and mysterious for thfa even
ing; but, to-inurrovv evening, the Lodge wHI enter
tain their friends, ami have given a general invitation
to such gentlemen as will entitle themselves to the
nitration, by securing the countenance to accompany
them.
Meetings have been held in several counties of
western Virginia, for the purpose of obtaining a con
cert of act ion among themselves, to effect a change
in the Slate Constitution, anti a more equal appor
tionment of representation in the legislature.
Wo do not bolieve that Mr. Tyler’s recommenda
tion, that the Federal courts lie vested by Congress,
with jurisdiction in such cases as that of McLeod, in
order to enable the Executive to order a nolle prompt!
and discharge the accused without trial—will meet
with much favor with Cougrcsn or in the Slates.—
The extent to which he would carry the increase of
Federal jurisdiction, is indicated by the use he would
have made of such a power in the case selected; and
we believe that a large majority of the peopl e and the
States, considered it ij,*point of honor aiul of duty,
that McLeod should Ihj tried. The State ot New
York in every department of her government—legis
lative, executive and judiciary—insisted upon the
exclusive right to try criminals indicted for felony
committed within her boundaries; and her highest
legal tribunals pronounced the exeicise of that right
consistent with the law of nations, as well as a pai l
of her inalienable jurisdiction. In that judgement
they were sustained by the common voice of the coun
try; and few will share in Mr. Tyler’s regrets that
lie hud not the power to take McLeod from the cus
tody of Ne.v York, and set him free by executive
action, through a legal iormulity indeed, but still by
absolute executive direction, wilho it trial, and in
compliance with the demand of a foreign power.—
That use of the power would have shocked the public
spirit of the whole people; and the prospect that it
might be so used, and is asked tlint it may be so
used, is not likely to make the recommendation pala
table—the less so, as it seems to have been urged by
the Tory press in England as a condition for the pre
servation of |>euco with us, that such a recommenda
tion would be made.
The proposition is an necessary consequence of
the unfortunate precipitancy with which Mr. Webster
pledged this government to the views of national
law on the subject, maintained by Great Britain,
and admitted without reserve or discretion, the un
qtiahliud light of McLeod to his discharge. Com
mitted as the l'residcnt was, by the act of his Se
cretary, he could not extricate himself, if he would,
without disavowing acts done in his own name; ami
it is doubtless to sustain Mr. Webster, that he has
entangled himself so far in this matter.
This entanglement is shown in the confusion which
pervades this part of the message. The President
takes in one place the straight forward view, that the
Judicial tribunals are the only proper agents through
which a criminal can obtain Ins discharge, and that
this is British as well as American practice. Ib;
next applies for power to enable the Executive to di
rect the Judicial officers to grant the discharge lw*
fore trial; which implies, if his first view lie correct,
a desire to obtain more power ia this respect, for the
American President than the British practice gives
to the monarch. It is a mere device to insist that
the judiciary acts, when its action is controlled by the
order of the Executive.
I lie I resiUBlli luriucr iiiiibu umi ti Hiuvm
become* politically” responsible only when its tribu
nals of last resort are shown to have rendered unjust
and injurious judgements in matters not doubtful. Un
der this rule, there was no inicrimtiopui responsibili
ty to Great Britain in the case of McLeod, until the
tribunals in the last resort had decided against him.
This last tribunal the President uflirni* to lie the Su
preme court of the United States, for he says that
McLeod had “the option** to prosecute his writ of
error from the supreme court of the state of New
York to the Supreme Court of the United Slates—
■and chose rather to go to tri il on the merits. We
are not clear that there is any such right of appeal, or
ought to be, but if tho President thought so, upon
wlmt.possible ground can he detect in the case of
McLeod, any defect in the institutions of the country
to enable its to discharge all our international obliga
tions'! Tin point was never reached, according to
his own theory, wliere the responsibility of the Fed
eral Government begins, and he is bound to believe
liat the Federal courts, if they sustained the juris
diction, would administer national law justly. Where
in appears from this case then, the want of “reasona
ble and proper means** for the Federal Government
to perform its international duties'! We are brought
back necessarily to the conclusion, that the Execu
live wants the exclusive power of deciding, what it.-:
duties towards other governments nre, without refer
ence to the courts, and of executing them on its own re
sponsibility, even against tho judgment of the courts.
There can lie no other meaning exti acted from the
request to be vested with the power ol onlering a
discharge before trial, wneu it is furthlt assumed,
that nn appeal nowjies to the Federal courts in the
last resort.
Such on assumption belongs to the political school of
tlic .Secretary of Stale, and not that in which the Pre
sident has been educuted.
The Missouri Slate Prison at Jefferson City, was
destroyed by fire, oil the 27ih ult. The stone cells,
and the wardeh’s house, were saved. The prisoners
were safely taken out, and guarded by a body of armed
citizens. The loss to the State and individuals, is
about #18,000, of which more than one half fulls on ,

for the nomination; and that Mr. Tyler was nomina

as President; and that lie disapproves of his course
as President.
Mr. Tvr. i n is no speeial favorite of ours, but the
character of tho President of the United States is

to the Presidency exposed him to the cares, perplex

eye, and wore out the cheerful expression which
maikeJ the benevolent aspect of the Purmerat North

put ties, witho.it distinction of political preference, as
the likeness of a citizen who did his country service

Winter. Mr. Thompson, tho agent, will dispose of
them in this city.

C if TI. r. >t k N:—Since my last we have Im 1 some
little excitement in the House for a few days. 1 was
led to believe that many of the citizens of Alabama
had lieen engaged in defrauding the State Hank and
Brunei), some of the suspicion still exists, and 1 fear
too well founded. A grave charge was made from
the Decatur Bulk against one of our members ( Mr.
8. F. Hire, of Taladega) but upon a thorough exam
ination of all t!ie evidence which was procured iroin
the Bank at Decatur on sending for persons anil pa
pers, before the joint examining committee raised
upon the subject of Bank frauds, tin; committee on yes
terday, reported the evidence. It was all rend before
the house, and a resolution imauiin msly adopted,
freeing Mr. Rice from the charges. These proceed
ings are matters of recordjas t hey become a part of the
Journals. Several excited debates have recently ta
ken place in the House. The charge was boldly
made a few days since, that the Dcuioemtic parly
being in the majority, were riglitlv chargeable with
all the ditticnltius and mismanagements of our Hanks,
but the charge being entirely unfounded, of course
was successfully repelled, ko successfully that silence
pervaded the whig ranks. They have at last got our
city charter Iwck again and passed to a third reading.
The whig gentlemen fought manfully but were met at
every corner ami repulsed. Ttlie vote linnlly taken in
ordering to a third lending resulted for its passage
fifty-one votes, against it thirty two; several honest
wings voted with us. The Bill is in strict conformi
ty with the resolutions of our friends at their meet
ings. Another Bill to define the manner of rcr.ieving
votes by the managers of elections, passed to a third
reading; considerable debate took place in regard to
the custom of appointing ius|iectors in our county.

Ttscaloosa, Due. Uih, 1841.
Messrs. Editors—Nothing very interesting has
transpired since my last. The house does not meet
again until six this evening, in consequence of the
head, came boldly into the defence of our fellow ci
exercises at the University, which take place to
day ; the members generally will attend. The members
are getting exceedingly anxious to adjourn. They
are doing but little good to the State. 1 must say 1
have never seen, in all my acquaintance with legis
lative proceedings, so much disorder in a legislative
body, as l have witnessed within the last few days. It
is strange, indeed, that men of influence in the country
can be found, whose pleasure it appears to be, to re
tard and confuse the action of tin; Legislature; but
such there are in the House of Representatives.—
There were scenes last night, which were disgusting
to all reflecting men. A general bill prevent frauds
at elections, being on its third reading, was the sub
ject. Night before last, the bill was ably discussed
by seveiul gentleman; our entire delegation from Mo
bile wus in favor of its passage, and there appeared
to be only four or live opposed to it; but to the great
astonishment of every body, when the hill cumc up
for its final passage, scarcely a Whig was to be found
in its favor. There was evidently some out-door
drilling.
It provided for the elections in our own county,
defining the icquisitions of voters and the duties of
managers. (July one of our Whig delegation was in
the house, (Mr. Erwin) who appeared to he in favor
of its passage, but was very active in drawing up an
amendment by way of engrossed rider, which he pro
cured to be offered by another member. The amend
ment was ailop ed; ami strange to say, then tile in
troducer, avid i.i. ny others who favored the amend
ment, voted against the whole bill; and it was voted
down, tile house being thin. Hut a motion was made
to rc-cousider, which will, 1 hope, Ik* carried when
wo meet again. Our democratic friends wiio favored

a breach of the Constitution, or an encroachment
upon the rights of the stales.

authority to dispose of all or any of the revenue or

Resolved, Thai the late Act of Congress culled an

[From liiu N. Y. Juumul of ('oiniuercs.]
An Old I'uiknd is a New I>kkss.—At the
late meeting of tl»e American Institute, tlie formation
of an Association entitled “Tlie Home Levgue, was
recommended; its object lining, protection t> American
indf-try, ami reciprocity of trade.. Such an Associa
tion, it appear*, lias been formed; and its members
arc to meet this evening, to complete the organiza
tion of the New York “State League.” In all the
other Stales, likewise, it is intended that branches
of “this truly national Association” shall be estab
lished.
This, we take it, is the ghost of the old Tariff
Parly, which we once helped to kill, so that we
thought it would never rise again. They now pre
sent lliciusehes wilh#u new name—having rendered
the old one odious bv their misdeeds—and would he
“deemed and taken'1 to lw a very dean concern, just
entering upon a career ni usefulness, for the good of
li e country. And lest this .hange of name should
not fully protect them from the odor of sectioimlity
which attached to them when they left the earth at
the dose of their tortile:* pilgrimage, they have put
forward a new aim and object, iu connection with the
“protection of American industry,” via. recipro
city ok co.*im khci:. With this they doubtless ex
pect to gulI the merchant*. All hook and no bait
would lx? too Imre to catch sensible men—and so,
while aiming a blow at the \itul* of commerce, they
talk of commercial reciprocity. When they hud more
influence iu Congress than they are likely to have
again, they showed what kind of reciprocity of com
merce they wanted, by raising the duty uu numerous
articles to' the point of actual prohibition.
We regret the formation of the “Home League,”
because, if its objects me persisted in, the old tariff
animosities will be revived, and it willheeome neces
sary to put down the humbug once more, iu the most
effectual manner. How can the turiffites hope to suc
ceed in such a contest! Do they not know that the
whole South, and mure than hull the North and West,
arc against them! By patting themselves forward as
a distinct party, or clan, they will ar. ay against them
and their object ail overwhelming amoii.it of opposi
tion, whereas, if they would leave the subject to be
disposed of by Congress, who huvu or ought to have
iu view all the interests of the country, and nil classes
of its citizen*, something could be secured in a quiet
way for the benefit of home manufactures—enough at
least to kill the Laud Distribution bill, which is gen
erally odious to the South, while it is warmly ap
proved by tlie tariff'men, because it renders higher
duties necessary. We bclievo there is a disposition
on the part of a majority of the free trade men, to
treat the subject with great liberality, so far as they
can do it without admitting the principle of “protec
tion,” (i. e. taxing one man, iu order to make anoth
er’s business profitable.) But the more this claim is
pressed, the more it will lie resisted; and the result
of the contest cannot he doubtful. If the Home
League wish to promote the interest of American
manufactures, and secure a favorable scale, of duties
iu their behalf, the best thing they can do is to dis
solve their association without loss of time. Another
tariff agitation will benefit nobody, and least of all
the inumifactiirers.
From Blackwovil’s Magazine for October.
Boswellian a.—1 and my illustrious friend have
just returned from a visit to Brighton. My mind felt
expanded by the magnitude of his. We put up at
the Alpio :, and had an excellent dinner. My il
lustrious .rieud chuckled.
Johnson.—“This sir, is worth living for. The
human palate was not meat to lie fallow, any more
tliuu tlie human mind.” He rolled himself about iu
evident exultation at the mighty thought. I im
mediately wrote it down.
Boswell.—“But, sir, is it your opinion that
lobster sauce was intended to accompany turbot, by
an originul designation of nature!” He looked at
me, ns 1 thought, with iiuosu.il ferocity.
John.—“And why not,sir!” he thundered. Then
relapsing into a smile, he said, “Curries and other
condiments may lie illj effects of civilization; we do
not tin I them iu a neutral form. The skill of the
cook there finishes the conception of the philosopher.
What has occupied the meditation of the closet, is
completed by the dexterity of the kitchen—But
lobsters, sir*—
Here he frowned again, and I dreaded n storm, and
handed him a bottle of Brighton sauce. It had the
effect of restoring his good-humour.
John.—“Lobsters sir, are not to be spoken of
with the haughtiness of arrogant science, or with the
permess of flippant conjecture. They are a work of
nature, not a composition of art. Now, this Brighton
sauce is a composition of art; and on such a subject,
you, sir, may say what you please. You are adequate
to its discussion.*'
He seemed pleased with the thought, and laughed
heartily. I proposed a glass of wine.
John.—“Yos. sir, wine is the liquor of oblivion;
it will enable me to forget you. Sir* you are super
ficial- Superficiality consists, not in the possession
of space, hut iu the want of depth; not in the expan
sion of substance, but the shallowness of material. It
is a uege
an attempt to change the subject.
Bo*.—“Sir 1 have heard in Scotalnd”—The lion
was instantly roused. Shaking his head majestically,
ho looked at tne.
John.—“Sir, what can you liavo heard in Scot
land! Sir, it requires some sense even to hear. T.
be sure/* he added with a solemn laugh, “a man
may be nil editor's box; formed to jeccive all the
anonymous trash that fools or knaves pour into it; or
he may l*c a mural poor-box, open to all the spurious
coin of public credulity; or he may he a pawnbro
ker's shop, left only to retain the cast-off remnants
of other men’s property. But he may Iks iio more (i
to discuss the merits or demerit* of u country, than a
crow is fit to discuss the merits or demerits of Lon
don, because it may have perched accidentally upon
Ht. Paul’s. Sir, adhere to the Brighton sauce. Men
are never ridiculous but when they aspire. No one
objects to the ass for chewing the thistle.”
Bos.—“Well, sir, you do not deny this syllabub
has merit!”
JouN.—*No, Sir, it lias merit. That you may dis
cuss. But leave the substantialities of the table to
others. Avoid pride. “By that sin fell the angels.' ”
Bos.—“But, sir, the pro«|>cct from the window is
beautif.il.
John.—Sir, it is beautiful. Nature is always
beautiful. Brighton w.ll be always beau'iful Itecutise
the folly of man cannot spoil its beauty. Wealth may
be ravish or taste may be perverse. The fantasies of
monarch* may bo commemorated in iKirharic piles of
stone, or the speculations of builders may encumber
the soil with vandalism in brick; bat they cannot
bui d porticos in the depth* of the channel, nor white
wash the green immensity of its waves.—Come, Sir,
I am tired of you. Let u* walk upon the shore.
