VIRGINIA. AND NEW YORK.

A correspondence has been sometime in
progress between the Governors Of New
York and Virginia, relative to a demand
by the latter upon the former to deliver
up three men, indicted in Virgins for
stealing slave. Gov. Seward refused
TO deliver, and bsses his refusal upon the
assumption that The obligation TO surrer-
der fueiiives from jhstice imposed BY
The Constitution Of the y. 8. only extends

appropriation large enough to suit their
wishes, they now denounce him as
little, narrolO, and pdrsimORioHs in his
policy. You can thus see how easy tits
for a party without principle to change
their ground, swallow their own words,
and vomit forth new filth to deceive and
mislead the public mind. Such is
Feddral consistency, and Wing vera

INDIANA.

The Legislature Of Indiana was TO ad.
journ yesterday, the 18th, after a session
often weeks. But little important bus.
mess has been transacted, except the
passage Of bill authorizing the issue oI
million of small notes by the State
Bank; and little whig reform, as will
be seen by the following extract from the
correspondence of the Ohio Stat esman,
dated, Indianapolis, Feb. !.
'BlllS have passed the House and will
pass the Senate fixing the salary Of State
and other officers, having for their pre-
tended object the reduction ofsalaries;
but in fact, in every instance the salaries,
including Clerk hire and contingencies,
are increased: this may be regarded as
the commencement Of whig reform. A
Private Secretary to the Governor, with a
salary ofthree hundred dollars, has been
created. State Librarian with the same
salary. A Superintendent Of Common
Schools, with salary of at least one
thousand dollars. A Superintendent Of
the State Prison, with half the profits,
which will amount to at least Eve thou
sand dollars-a CLERK with q salary Of
eight hundred. and a Chaplain, salary not
recollected. A county Auditor in each
county, with salary and fees.' aa
Notwithstanding the creation Of all
these new Offices, The number Of disap-
pointed ofice,seekers viii be very great.

an nnnrecedenled system of fraud, prac.

bags, of which spectators have purchased
700 Americans and 1000 Suratsi the resi-
is to the trade.
The market has been very brisk, and prices
are Is to Lid higher than on. Friday last.
The advance is attributable to the warlike
intelligence received from the United States,
which has induced several holders to with
draw their stocks from the market.
The news of the suspension of the u
States Bank had the effect of checking oper-
atoms in cotton, but the warlike news gave

Probable settlement Of the Mcleod Case
-ArriUGt and departure Of the Attorney
General.--Mr. Ctittenden, the Attorney
General Of the United States, arrived in
town on Thursday evening, from Albany,
and leaves to-day, on his return to Wash
ington. Mr.. Crittenden, in conjunction
with the Attorney General Of this State, has
examined all the testimony and other facts
in the case, and has arrived at the conclu-
sion that there is no evidence to convict
Mcleod of a participation in the destruc-
ton of the Caroline. He will be able, it is
supposed, TO establish abb, and thus put an
END to the whole matter.
Meantime, M'Leod will remain in custody
until the trial comes on, and the case will

ruption from any quarter A perfect under
standing subsistS between the general and
state governments, in relation TO it, Under
this state of facts, Mr.. Webster will reply
to Mr.. Fox, preseting all the grounds in his
accustomed clear, comprehensive, and forci-
BILE style. and it is believed that this will be

til the liberation Of Mcleod by due process
of law in October next.
