TIE EFFECTS OF LoANGyC STATE CRED
IT TO CoRpoRATIoNs.-The State OF New
York loaned its credit to the Canajoharrle
and CattskIl Rail Road Company to the
amount of 100000. The Company
received and squanderod the proceeds OF
the State Stocks, and on the Ist inst,
failed to pay the interest. The state will
doubtless have to pay both interest and
principle,
1t is certainly bad policy to loan the
credit Of state to corporations; and some
of the States of this Union will so learn
from sad experience, we fear.

DECISION IN THE CASE OF M'LEOD
THE PRISONER NOT DISCHARGED.

An extra from the office OF the New York
American contains the Opinion of the Supreme
Court of this State, sitting at Utica, in the matter
Of Alexander MLeod, who claimed to be dis.
charged from custody.
The Court have decided against the discharge
OF the prisoner without trial. The Opinion Of
the Court was delivered by Justice Cowen!
The effect Of this decision will be to cause the
prisoner to be tried on the indictment, by Jury,
unless the case in its present form should be ap.
pealed to the Court of Errors, (he State Senate
as we have understood it would be, in the event
Of decision like the present by the Supreme
Court Of New York; and, should the court Of En-.
rors affirm the present decision, that then the case
would be carried up to the Supreme Court of the
United States
1t must be understood that the only question
before the Supreme Court, was, whether the pris
oner should, or should not, be discharged without
trial. They decided that he ought not to be Sc
discharged

DIED, in Monroe county, Mo-, on the 9Th inst,
Of stroke Of dead palsey, in the Gath year of her
age, Mrs. ANNA REID, consort of Capt John Reid,
late of Madison county, Ky. She has left large
family and numerous friends to deplore her death.
Tho they weep, they weep not as those that have
no hope, for she was Christian. She possessed
in an eminent degree all those virtues which truly
adorn the sex; loving wife, tender and affec-
tionate mother, and an exemplary Christian. She
had been more than forty years professor Of the
Christian Religion, and proved daily, by her godly
walk and conversation, that she looked not on this
world as her abiding place, but sought city whose
maker aud builder is God, About fifteen months
before her death, she had an att ack of the same
disease, which very much paralyzed her system,
but did not affect her reason. During that time
she talked with her family and friends about her
approaching dissolution, matter that must soon
take place, and become animated with the prospect
of glorious immortality beyond the grave
From the time of her last attack, which was on
the Ord inst, she never spoke-but having dis.
charged all the duties, with fidelity surpassed by
none, Of Wife, Mother, Neighbor, and Christian,
died lame nted by all who knew her.

COMMON SENSE VIEWS.

We published last week the remarks of
Mr.. SMITH, a Senator from Indiana, in
favor of the bill appropriating one years
pay to the widow of the late President,
and we copy to-day the remarks of Gov.
PopE, member of the House from Ken
lucky, on the same subject. AS remarked
recently by contemporary at st. Louis,
the latter gentleman is one of the most
practical, common sense men, in either
House of Congress, and his remarks on
our fourth page will show that "his heart
is in the right place" Concerning the con-
stitutional question, all we desire to say is,
that upon looking into the Journal of the
9th of March, 1928, we discover that on
abill precisely similar, introduced by Cen
eral HARRISON for the relief of the widow
of Major General Brown, the leading men,
bers of the Republican party of that day
(not "the democracy" of more recent date)
voted in the affirmative--yeas 26 nays ID.
Amongst them we find (page 52s) the
names of Eaton, Hdyne, r. NJ. johnson,
Kane, M'Lane, Roooan, Sanford, Smith of
Md. and LeUi Woodbury.! As their voteS
at that day cannot stand along with the
ercuse set up by their friends now, we leave
those who prefer the democracy" of vot-
ing against Mrs. Harrison, to the republi-
canism of voting for Mrs. Bropn, to the
verdict of their own conscience and the
verdict of the country. We envy neither

Upon the subject of President TYLER's
constitutional opinions, which this paper
has insisted it were bad faith to direspect,
but which have been treated with the
greatest affectation of contempt by por-
ton of the Wing press, Gncluding the silly
"federalist" at Boonville) the National In
telligencer takes the following honest and
conciliatory ground, which we are graft
fed to see transferred to and commended
in the columns of so respectable Journal
as the 81. Louis New Era.
"Some persons land we among them) regret as
much as the Courier and Enquirer possibly can, the
scruples which the President entertains respecting
National Bank; but they are scruples which he had
always entertained and avowed, and which were as
well known to the Harrisburg Convention as they
are now known to Congress-"

THE LAND OFFICE APPOINTMENTS.

Perhaps as fair a representation as could
have been made in reference to this sub
iect, is contained in the following extract
from an editorial letter in the st. Louis
Bulletin of the 22d--the Editor being, at
the time of writing it, on visit to some
of his old friends and patrons in this county.
In the ill-natured cavils respecting the prob
able appointment of Mr.. Birch, in the fall,
the Boonvie Observer, of all the papers
in the District and State (Whig and Demo-
cratic) has the distinguished honor to stand
alone. We promised, however, not to en-
cumber our columns with the unnecessary
uindication of Mr.. B--nor shall we. The
ertrdct:
"There is slight appearance of an intention to
| produce an excitement in this Land District, in
consequence of the rumored appointments of Mes.
srs CLARK and BIRCH. The feeling in relation to
Gen. Clark is confnd exclusively to Boonvie, and
it may be said to have no substantial foundation

have endeavored to make fair inquiry, and arrive
at correct conclusion on this subject, and deem
it my duty to say the appointment of neither of thu
applicants would have given universal satisfac
tion--e,ery one has his friends and his enemies
but Mr.. Birch is certainly as acceptable as eithe
of his opponents could have BEEN and his qualiica
tons are equal to either, and may add very SUI
periof to some. The district is the central one Of
the State, and contains more wealth and intelli
genre perhaps, than any other, and it would have
been impossible to make a selection which coult
have been free from momentary excitement, bu,
under all the circumstances, we are satisfied thu
Administration has done well, and believing thu
mass of the citizens satisfied, we hope opposi
ton will cease"

promise:
"a plan of compromise is talked of, which, it is
believed. will reconcile all differences, and bring
all the friends Of the Administration in both houses
to union. 1t is, in BRIEF to authorize the Central
bank here to establish branches IN the different
States with their assent but to reserve expressly
to Congress the power to establish branches when
ever and wherever they may become necessary and
proper II is believed that such plan would bring
all the friends of a national bank together, on a
common ground they might all occupy and the pro-
posal has revived the hopes of hundreds who were
beginning almost to apprehend that the session
would break up without the establishment OF any
bank.
1.-The correspondent Of the New York Express
speaks with equal confidence as to the compro.
mise. He says:
al wrote you last night that THERE WOULD BE
COMPROMISE, AND THAT COMPROMISE WOULD BE NE.
cEssARY TO THE SUCCESS OF ANY BANK Bill BEFORE
1T COULD RECEIVE THE UNITED APPROVAL OF Con-
GREss AND THE EXECUTIVE! To-day he has con-
irmed that opinion. and the evidence will be forth
coming A Bank Bill will be passed, and it will
be Cay's Bill with an immdterial amendment, so
far as any principle is involved. The States asking
for Branches of the mother Bank, will have them
of course, and in addition to this, | predict that
power will be given to Congress to establish Branch
where Congress may determine to establish it.
"The Correspondent Of the Cincinnati Gazette
says, that the Wings Of the House Of Represen.
tatives, on the evening of the 18th, held an in.
formal but very full meeting, and requested the
Committee on the Currency to report to the
House bank bill, similar to Mr.. Clay's project,
and particularly as regards the branching power.
| We learn from the Baltimore Patriot that there
was only one dissenting uoice in the meeting"
UAll ,oe have to say concerning the
compromises which are noD talked Of SO
handsomely, is, that they were always in the
bill of Mr. EWING. Turn to our paper OF
the Sd instant, and read the last section OF
the Secretary's bill. We are gratifed
however, too see, that writers and papers
who but week ago preferred the loss Of
the whole bill to any compromise, are now
congratulating themselves and the country
that THE VERY COMPROMISES WE HAVE ALI
ALONG ADVOCATED are about to be adopted
at Washington Should it turn out so
land we yet sincerely trust it may) the
thanks of the country will be more emf
nently due to the firmness of JOHN TYLER
and his friends, than to all other considera
tons combined.

to publish it officially, as it passes both

remarking, meanwhile, that, having heard
of some of the most prominent members of

enough of it," we congratulate the country
upon the speedy advent of the period

adduced in order to defeat great and be-
