This is a day distinguished in America*
history. Eighty-one years ago, the Dec
laration of American Independence, was
read to the Congress of the United States,
then assembled n Philadelphia. The mere
reparation of a mighty empire was, of itse.I,
memt pl»cc in h. records of man. Prwr^to
a.leg.arce cf millions of his feslow-men
fairest portions of the
C1 be.
terminated forever that allegiance. The
struggle which preceded it was fierce and
h^art-rending as all such conteet between
rioi/libors and friends must be,and the inul-
tiplied acts of heroism which marked its
great geographical extent, vast resources of
power, and means of national and individual
areaith, from the bo* iii of one old in power,
ikillad and celebrated in war—commanding
the oeeaa by :r naval proweas, and dis
tinguished in science and legislation, would
,,f uself, be snfic)ent to adorn the page of
history.

On this I
principle equally true,
and which ui»y perhaps be termed exclusive
ly American doctrine. It is, "that Uov
ernment* were instituted among men," to
s«*eurn th'« inslienablo rights of nature, rind
that the consent of the governed al"i»e can
give sanction to power. No other g'^^rn
mmt on earth practically reoogniiea this
doctrine.
Again, it is also American doctrine, that
whenever anv form of government becomes
destructive "of the«e natural rights, it is
the right of the people to abolish such j{ov
tnent, and to institute a new one, laying its
foundation '»n such prineiplee, and organi

of the Kurop in statesmen, that man was
iu e.tpable of self-^overmnent, and that

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Times, under date of the 9th
inst., communicates the following highly
interesting statement of an important case
Judge Black lias lately given an opinion
in an extradition case between the State of
Iowa and the State of Massachusetts. It
seems that in May, 1850, Jonas Wyeth, of
Cambridge, Mass., was indicted in Scott
county, Iowa, for the crime of bigamy. On
his escaping a requisition was made W the
tiov. of Massachusetts for the surrender of
Wyeth as a fugitive from justice under the
act of Congress of 17(J3. In compliance
therewith a warrant was issued by the Gov
ernor of Massachuseets to Wm. llall, the
agent duly appointed on the part of the
State of Iowa, authorizing and directing
him to arrest Jouas Wyeth, and trans
port him to the line of the State of Massa
chusetts. llall, in attempting to execute
this warrant was arrested, tried, and con
victed of an attempt to kiduap, and the
case is now pending on exceptions before
the Supreme Court of Massachusetts, Hall
being at suifrance on bail.
After the issuance of tlu* warrant to Hall,
the Governor of Massachusetts undertook
to annul and revoke it, on the ground that
Wyeth was not a fugitive, although he was
married in Scott county, Iowa, to fiis second
wife, whom he abandoned, and was, at the
time of his arrest, and is now, living with
his first wife, iu Cambridge, Mass.
aud
ill
rustm life
The matter was referred by the Govern
or of Iowa, to the President, and Attorney
General Black lias given an opinion that,
tliough the Governor of Massachusetts may
have exceeded his power wheu he revoked
thc warrant aud although the surrender of
fugitives from justice is a matter regulated
solely by the constitution and the Laws of
the "United States, the President 1ms no
power to interfere and cause the surrender
of Wyeth by the State of Massachusetts,
however clearly he might be of opinion that
the refusal to do so was wrong, because it
was a case existing between two States, iu
which the United States did not have origi
ualj
urisdictiou.
Thus it seems that the Governor of a
State iu audi a case may put his own con
struction on what constitutes a fugitive
from justice, iu violation of tho constitu
tion. In the eas« ®f a "fugitive from la
bor," the 2d section of the 5th article of
the constitution makes it peremptory that
no person held to labor, escaping to another
State, shall be liberated "in consequence of
anv law or regulation thyrciii," but in the
case of a "fugitive from justice," in the
same section aud article of the constitution,
the State of Massachusetts does not deem
the constitution peremptory, in tlve demand
thus made upon her, and claims the right to
determine who shall be considered, and
what shall constitute, a fugitive from jus
tice.

The Chicago Times, in regard to the
vc, suggests "that Gov. Grivcs put him
self at theliead of the Iowa militia, and go
down into Massachusetts and take that litll
State into custody. Let him encauip on
Bunker Hill, and "give Gov. Gardner three
days to surrender. If he still holds out let
Grimes take the State."
Tbe Magnetic Telegraph Foreshadowed,
Ma. EDITOR: In Bailey's Dictionary edi
tion of 1730—127 years ago—under the
word "Loadstone," 1 tind the following
foreshadowing of the electric telegraph:
"Some athorities write, that by the help
of the magnet or loadstone, persons may
communicate their minds to a friend at a
great distance as suppose one to be in Lon
don, and the other at Paris if each of them
have a circular alphabet like the dial |Mate
of a clock, and a needle touched with one
magnet, then at the same time that the nee
dle at London was moved, that at 1'aris
would move tfi a like manner, provided that
each party l)ad secret notes for dividing
words, and tlje observation was made at a
set hour, either of the day or of the night,
and when one party woulJ inform the other
of any matter, he is to move the needle to
thoseletters that will form the words that
will declare what he would have the other
know, and the other needle will moye in the
same manner. This may be done recipro
cally."
tf'hen we reflect that, at the time this
book was printed, magnetism was derived
solely from the loadstone that electricity

they killed four no-n of our party. After
their guns were discharged, tbe Indians re
tired to a cre«-k close by and continued their
fire until we left the wagons. Before we got
out of sight they emptied the wagon*: part
of them pursued us. Our party consisted of
ten men, eight women and ten children. 1
