bers met, and, among other proceedings,
the annexed resolutions were adopted
We are gratfed to see the States, as it
were, speaking out in this way. la this
case a preference is expressed, but at
the same time a cheerful support is pro-
missed to any candidate whom the Wing
National Convention shall nominate
This is the right and proper spirit.
Resolved, That the confidence we have
ever felt in the integrity, patriotism, and
talents of HENRY CLAY is confirmed and
strengthened by the daily history of bis
public life, as we'll as by the constant
and increasing attachment Of his fellow
citizens throughout the United States.
Resolued, That of all the candidates
proposed for the Presidency Of the Uni.
ted States, we prefer HENRY Clay
But as we regard principle more than
men, and our country more than our par
ty, we will cheerfully unite in the sup
port OF the candidate who shall be nomi-
mated by our political friends in national
convention.

STEAMBOAT LAw.-Imp ortdnt Deci.
sion.-We learn from the N. O. Bee,
that the U. S. Circuit Court for Louisi.
ana has decided that the late law of con-
gress concerning steamboats,, is not ap-
plicable to boats navigating The Missis.
slppi river. There are nearly one hun
dred and fifty suits, to which this deci,
sion is applicable. The case before the
court was that Of the United States Us.
Capt. Price, on ar information, that The
said captain had not complied with the
act of congress in procuring iron tiller
ropes for the use of his boat.
This seems to US to be a most extra
ordinary decision, as Congress in pass
ing the law intended to have more direct
reference to the steamboats, navigating
the Mississippi and other Western waters,
than to those in other parts of the coun-
try. The decision may be right by the
letter of the law, but it is strangely in
