THE SrEAM-BO CASE.
Extract OF letter from Washington.
March 9
This morning chief justice Marshall
delivered one ofihe most able and solemn
opinions that has ever been delivered in
any court, on the steam boat case. The
court room was crowded with people.
and during more than an hour, which was
consumed in pronouncing the decision of
the court, the most unbrokcn silence
prevailed
"Chief justice Marshall commenced nv
stating The importance of the case, and no
passing short but dignified eulogium nm
The late judiciary oftne state ofN York.
lie stated the regret which was felt bv
the highest tribunal in the nation, in diff.
iering from the opinion which the courts
of New York had given to the world nm
great constitutional question. The
chisi justice then proceeded in his long
ard luminous view OF the steam boat CASE.
| and laid down these broad PRINCIPLES
That steam boats could be licensed like
ether coasting vessels, and go from place
TO place and from port to port, like coast.
ing vessels and with the same rights and
privileges /; that New Jersey and Con.
recucut steam boats, with coastinp ,iren.
ces, can enter the walters of New York.
free and unmoIested that they NAV
either carry goods or passengers as they
| please and although nothing was said
| about navigating the internal or interior
waters of state, yetii coas,ine license
is to give a steamboat al the privilege
OF coa,'ing vessel, the whole ground of
controversy appears To- be covered. The
acts of the state of New York, granting an
exclusive right TO Livingston and Fulton,
| and to their heirs for so years, arc now
declared 10 be unconstitutional especially
SO far as the controversy before the SUI
preme courts recently argued. involved
constitutional questions
"Ihis opinion, drawn up by chief jus.
ice Marshall. presents one of the most
powerful effor's of the human mind that
has ever been displayed from the bench
OF any court. Many passages indicated
profopndness and iorecasr, in relation
to the destinies of our confederacy. pecu.

This Map will be founded or and embrace,
generally, the valuable and original matter
contained in the e" American Atlas" published
by the author of the proposed Map, to which
will be added the results of various surveys
and explorations recently completed, and such
as are now in progress, and may be finished
previous to the publication of the work.
The projection adopted for the proposed
Map is similar TO that selected for the Maps Of
the different States containedin the Atlas just
mentioned; by which the meridians and paral-
lels of latitude are made to ntersect at right
angels, as nearly as due regard to the laws of
the decrease of the former would admit. This
mode, of projecting Maps on an extensive
scale, represents the various quadrilaterial
figures similar to those on the Artificial Globe,
and affords a very near approximation, in
other respects, to the earth itself; distances in
any direction may be accurately ascertained,
with facility,b by the application of the simple
scale; the respective diagonals of the inter-
secting lines Of projection, are of an equal
| length throughout the map it obviates that
extreme distortion which results from the use
of what is called the 4" plane projection" in
which the parallels of latitude are represent
ed by straight lines, and, in fine, it represents
| the understanding picture ofthe correspond
| ing feature on the National Globe, as near its
original, as such representation can possibly
be given on plane surface.
In connecting the various materials collect
ed together for the map, certain established
points will be- adhered to as land marks or
guides for latitude and longitude, to which
the local surveys, &c. will be made to con-
form. Particular reference will, however be
had to such positions as shall have been sub
.iected to the most frequent and scientific OBJ
servations Of amen of known skill, whose de-
auctions will be compared. and if found to DIFF
fer on any material point, such position will be
| adopted as due regard to the character for
accuracy of the respective observers, taken in
connection with the advantages or disadvanta.
ges that may have attended their operations,
| may dictate.
The recent survey of the northern bounda-
ry of the United States, made in conformity
to the treaty of Ghent, will constitute the basis
of SO much of the proposed Map as was en-
braced within the range of that survey; and
the survey of the Atlantic and Gulf Coast,
made by order ofthe Navy Department will be
used for the base of the southern and eastern
portions oft For the intermediate space,
recourse will be had to the latest and best in
formation regarding its natural configuraton,
its seas, lakes and Islands; mountains, hills and

Near the Mexican gulph, in the white foamy
Lol the Queen of the antilles" appears.
Here, centuries since, rov'd the wild Carribse,
And the Coral Mount, rising majestically,
Saw the favorite of Neptune in tears.'
Then the goddess of Fortune, approaching her
son,
With heavenly smile in her face,
Caress'd him, and showing the deed he had
done,
blade his heart to rejoice, as world he had
For the poor and Oppressed of his race.
But the spirit of ay'rce, unfetter'd, took wing,
When Columbia her treasures display'd;
And Africa's sons felt the scorpions sting,
For "pirates" enslav'd them, and hither they
bring
The fruits oftheir murderous "trade :"
Long the islands of green have been sorely
Oppressed;
But HsPaniola, we see
Again in the robes of white liberty dress'd,
Like brilliant orb, to illumne the rest,
Then hail her, the Isle the Free.
Now hear We the sound of her seraphic voice,
And see you her virtuous banner unfurl'd
The African exile will, henceforth, rejoice,
For the "Queen a the Antilles has made him
W her choice,
And to him she's the pride of the world
