THE GREAT APPEAL CASE FROM THE
DISTRICT OF ALABAMA.

| THE GREAT APPEAL CASE FROM THE
DISTRICT OF ALABAMA.
The Judgment of the Supreme Court oil
the United States on this important cause
was pronounced on Saturday, and no rea-
son remaining for Withholding longer the
argument ofAlr Webster, which we heard
and of which we promised our readers
some account, we publish il in to-day's pa
pers. Ii will be understood that we pre-
sent our report as sketch, accurate, we
trust, as TO general scope Of the argument,
but not always confined to the precise le-
gal phrases.
We are happy 10 say that the decision
Of the learned Bench is such as il was the
end ofthis argument to bring out.
The judgements rendered in the three
cases by tho Circuit Court in Alabama
are all reversed. The Opinion Of a ma
jority oil the Court was read by the Chief
Justice, and we understand il as maintin-
ing these propositions;
|. That, by the comfy Of Nations, Co.
porations can contract, MS well az sue, IN
o.her nations as well as in that in which
they exist, or by whose Government they
are created.
Q. That this comfy exists, in a still
stronger degree, between States connec-
ted together us are the States ofthis D.
MON.
3. That the Constitution and Laws of
Alabama, establish no such policy as IS
lnfringed by the purchase and sale Of bills
ofexchange within her limits by the agents
Of foreign Corporations.
4. An admission that there are some
rights of citizens Of other States, secured
by the Constitution, Of which State can
not divest them. This was not the ground
Of the decision, but was intended, rs we
suppose, TO be, in legal phrase, the erelu.
sion Of a conclusion.
Mr.. Justice Baldwin gave separate
and very elaborate opinion in favor Of re-
versal, but putting his judgements on the
rights Of the parties, under the ConsiItu-
ton of the United States.
Mr.. Justice Mckinley adhered TO tho
opinions expressed by him in the Court
below.

THE GRAVES OF THE sIGNERs.

THE GRAVES OF THE SlGNERS.
BY MISS A. NJ. r. BUCHANAN.
Where lie our country's glorious dead p
In graves that know nor rite, nor name,
Whence every passing wind should spread
The story to that country's shamef--
Where. all unchecked, the rank weed shoots
It's noxious tibres through their cloy;
And where in safety, loathsome brutes
Across it drag their msngled prey -
Where human pride and hope and love
Meier meet the rugged clods abovef
No, midst the dear homes Of the land,
Fen as their own hearihs, unforgotl
The Ncrth's stern yeoman lifts his hand.
Proud, from his plough, to point the SPOT;
And the wild sohootboy he has nursed,
Beside them rests hs tired knee,
And tells their names and deeds, the first
That he has known Of history
While the warm wish looks through his eye,
Like them to live, and thus to lie!
Mo- where the South's bright. plumaged birds
And brisht-hued flowers, sing and wave!
There naughty men OF burning words
In reverence seek each quiet grave;
And there il lightly have been spent
Their own rich gifts Of God ard earth.
Up from the dust a voice is sent,
That starties them to aims OF we rth;
There high-soued women pause to pray
"May those we love prove such as they
They lie, where in their glory's time.
They saved their sires' grey heads from harm
In fruitful fields, throughout our CLINE,
Won from the dark woods by their arm;
Where first their children saw The light,
And where, when pressed by III and wrong
As unto affairs lowered with might,
Zen vet their children's children throng,
And feel what well may nerve their powers.
"Wbv should we sink their blood is ours:
And We would break their holy sleep,
And bear them to some labored pile,
Where Mammon grudges time to weep,
Ambition cold to drop its guile;
Where the poor peasant ne'er could CO.
To bless them for their god-like part,
And catch spirit, still to grow,
And raise his soul, and swell his heart
Where fashions Eighty slaves would tuin
From them, unto their blozoned urn
Go solen1nly and seek their shrines,
And think, while Ger each honored ofeas''
Pure blows the breeze, the sunbeam SHINES
How sweet. how lovely Is such rest
See that their memory around,
Stamps freedom on each form and face'
Hear that in dangers hour, each mound
Would be legion's rallying-plac
If We have hearts, there list their tones,
And dare to touch those hallowed bones

GLAss.--We noticed yesterday in thu
Warehouse of Messrs. Plunket 81 Miller,
a set Of beautiful glass, neatly arranged
along the counter, which is worthy ofnote,
both for It's quality and the object for.
which il is designed. 1t consists ofnbout
four hundred pieces, all Of the richest cut
glass, from decanters down to egg-glass.
rs. Its destination may be learned from
the etching on two Of the pieces, which
reads--"To His Excelency David Camp
bell, Governor of Virginia, and his sue
cessors 10 office-From the citizens OF
Wheeling" We were at loss which to
admire the most, the beauty Of the glass,
or the liberality and taste evinced by the

the set was between six and seven hun.

day at tho Warehouse Of the manufactu-
