for the encouragement and Improvement
of our agriculture, and we might 90 for
ward in the geological survey of the State.
With these great projects and many 9TH
crs languishing for want of the means of
encouragement, it is absolutely sickcning
to rccollcct that at our last legislature any
one could be found so lost to all fine feel
ing--nay, TO a sense of shamc-as to adj
vocatc throwing away the public lands.
But so it is. Tho history of sclishncss is
repeated from age to age and he who
would sell the national domain for political
stock, is but repeating the act of him who
sold his birthright for Il mess of pottagc.
But let us turn from this miserable
picture, to contemplate one that appears
so glorious, so full of satisfaction. Sec
Gen. Harrison, first negotiating with the
Indians for their title, and having paid
them to their satisfaction, then projecting
those schemes which by their foresight
and prudence have brought whole states
into existence, and given an impulse to
civilization in the North West, without a
parallel in the world. Sec Mr.. Clay, with
urivallcd power, recalling the nation to
a sense of the importance of the domain,
and with high-soulcd integrity, laboring
TO appropriate to each state its proper
share. The heart is chccrcd with such
instances of more than Roman excellence,
and the dark back ground of President
putting the title deed Of the nation in his
pocket, only adds to the intensity Of the
brightness of the picture.

TIE AMISTAD PRISONERS.

The decision of the District Court of
the United States now sitting at New lla-
ven has been pronounced in the case of
the Africans Of the Amistad. Judge
Judson declares the negroes to be free,
with the exception of the boy Antonio,
who is native of Cuba, and has express
scd strong desire to return. In regard
to the native Africans, we are gratiicd
that there appeared to the mind Of the
judge who pronounced the opinion, no
conflict between the laws of the country
on the one hand, and the great princi-
pies Of justice on the other. The rca-
soning by which he arrives at the conclu-
sion that these men are entitled to their
freedom under our laws, and that there is
not even a tolcrablc preteXt for sending
them back to the island of Cuba, strikes
us as irresistible. The opinion of the
Court decides the following points: That
the schooner, being taken on the high
seas, the District Court Of the State of
Connecticut has jurisdiction of the case (;
that Captain Gcdney's claim is properly
prosecuted in that court that his claim
for salvage is just, to be estimated at one
third Of the appraised value of the vessel
and cargo, and that the claim of Green
and Fordham, Of Sag Harbor, who pre-
tend to have first taken possession of the
vessel and cargo, cannot be allowed. In
regard to the Africans themselves, the
Court decides that they cannot be subject
to any claim of salvage by Captain Ged-
ney; that they are 6o@al negroes, or AZ
ricans Just imported from their native
country, and not slaves according to the
Spanish law, and by consequence not the
property of Ruez and Montcz-and that
therefore the demand made by the Span
ish minister for their restoration, to be
tried according to the laws of Spain, cam
not be complied with--that the boy Anto-
MO, being a native of Cuba, and having
expressed strong desire to go back, is
to be given up to the government of Spain
with the vessel and cargo-and that the
Africans shall be delivered to the Presi-
dent of the United States, to be conveyed
to Africa, there to be consigned to the
agent appointed to receive them and send
them to their homes, under the act Of

STEAMBOAT DECISION.

have never seen contested before, and is
important TO the owners of STEAMBOATS, and

VAN buren, VS.. HARRISON.

IFWc refer the reader to an article
in an another column, from the Richmond
Enquirer, in which the reasons why the
south should support Mr.. Van Buren,, and
oppose Gen. Harrison, arc clearly set
forth. Gen. Harrison, it is proved, is in
faror of internal improvements, a protcc-
tive tariff, and Of Gradual emancipation.
1t is also clearly proved that Mr.. Van
Buren, is hostile to all these measures :;
and THEREFORE, Tie south is urged
to support him. We say, let every tariff
man at the north read this expose, and
then say whether he is prepared to vote
for "northcrn man with southern prin-
ciplcs," and for Such reasons. 1t may
not be amiss to remark that the Enquirer,
next to the Globe, is considered the most
influential administration paper in the
Union. 0-F@Aels your no:ghbor to read
