| Resolved, That the suspension of specie

1.-THE democracy of Maine" generally
have the honor not only to be half an age
behind the era of civilization, but year at
least behind the democracy of the Union"
The Maine democrats" will begin to rub
open their eyes when they see that their
masters at Albany have repudiated the hum
bug Of an exclusive specie currency sup
ported the suspension Of specie payment,
and argued at length in favor Of Banks and
Banking. The democracy" Of Virginia,
Alabama. New York, Connecticut, Michi-

law the suspension of specie payments,

PHILADELPHIA, AUGUST 2.-Afeefing
Stare Case-We learn that trial, which
has been pending through several hearings
OF the matter was decided this morning.
and that the final decision, rendered in con-
formity to the law, and the pronunciation Of
which was inevitable on the part Of the
Judge, has created great excitement, near.
ly one thousand persons, as we learn, hav-
ing been congregated around the court room
where the uitimatum was TO be known.
The case, as il has come to our knowl-
edge. is as follows. A colorcd woman
nearly white, and who has been married and
a resident Of this city for many years-ihe
mother OF famiy-has been claimed by a
Southern planter as a slave. The woman
is now in a delicate condition, and the hot
air OF court is of course most hurful 10
her health. She has been in attendance
however, by necessity; and it was this
morning decided by Judge Randall that the
claimant Of this person is entitled to her as
his property. OF the merits OF his owner
ship or the evidence that he may have ad.
duced to prove it we know nothing
The case has been fully heard, and the
final action upon il must consequently have
been legal, howsoever the humane heart
may question its equity. The vile and ex-
pectant mother was borne away from the
court in vehicle, to what destination we
have not heard, but think it probable to

A good deal OF tumult exists among the
colored and other classes of the people, on .
this subject but we earnestly trust that all !
illegal movements will be promptly sup
pressed Until the laws are altered, what
ever they may be, the community in all its !
spheres, must as in duty bound, obeythem
and if evils. which partake OF an nterna- /
llonal aspect between the States, are not
presently remediable, there is no interference |
or disorder that can be sanctioned without
violence TO the law and the constitution
OF all codes, that which makes itself para
mount to the statute-book. the most deserves
