CORRESPONDENCE IN THE CASE
OF M'LEOD.

Among the documents accompanying
the Presidents Message, is an important
correspondence between Mr. Fox the Bri-
fish Minister, and the Hon. Daniel Web.
ster, Secretary of State. The great length
OF this correspondence necessarily pre-
cludes It's publication in our paper this
week, we therefore present a summary Of
its leading points.
The leuerof Mr.. Fox bears date the
18th of March. He commences by say
ing that her Majesty's government, en-
tireIy approves Of the course pursued by
him, in relation TO the case of Mcleod,
and that he is again instructed by his 60
vernmont % demand his release. The
ground Of this demand is that the alleged
transaction for which Mcleod is arrested
was of a public character, planned and
executed, by persons duly authorised by
the British Government, consequently
they cannot be held personally response

elected Clerk of the House, on the fourth

A number of important subjects have

We would suggest TO our subscribers
the propricty of sending each number OF
the Telegraph to their eastern friends af-
ter having read it. We design in the sue
cossiEc plumbers Of our paper, TO publish
as much useful information, with respect
to the. growth, prospects and recources OF
our Territory, as we can conveniently col
iect The spirit of enquiry with respect
10 Wisconsin, is now pervading most of
the northern states in the Union, and we
shall make It a prominent point to give
through the Columns Of our paper such in
formation, as is sought for by the public.
We are persuaded our patrons will Justify
us-lniou efforts, to make our paper a use
ful vehicle Of intelligence, to those who
desire to be informed Of the advantages
Of this portion Of the west. Our country
is new, and dates the active commence

the Territories now organized Our his

iarday, comparatively, the locality Of Wis
cQnsin, was q matter of indefinite history ::
and oven now, thousands appear credu-
Ions TO believe that we arc, what we are.
There are in Wisconsin, 47,%71,24I,
acres Of land, exclusive orunextinguished
ludian titles. OF the amount only about
2,0O0, 800 acres are yet sold. OF this
vast domain which remains unsold, a We
ry large portion is as desirable for settle
ment, as any portion Of the United States,
aud capable of sustaining a population
equal TO that Of the State of New York.
Our interest, as well as the pecuniary good
of others, induces us to facilitate the set
Element Of our unimproycd lands. Emigra-
tion to Wisconsin the present season, has
probably far exceeded that to any other
part of the west; and all that IS required
10 give ten(old increase TO the tide of
emigration 10 this Territory, is correct in
formation abroad in relation to our soil.
climate and natural resources. Whatever
service, the Telegraph can render in aid
OF this object, will be contributed as plea
sure and duty; and little effort on the
part OF our subscribers in the manner we
have suggested, will essentially tend to
the accomplishment Of this object.

bic for their acts 10 The tribunal Of any for

regard the destruction Of the Caroline, as
an act Of resistance and defence against
the attack of British rebels and American
pirates. TO fix responsibility upon per-
sons for acts done in obedience 10 the or
ders Of their country, is alleged to be con-
trary to the universal practice Of all civil
lied nations. Her Majesly's government
cannot admit, that the State Of New York
has any jurisdiction whatever in the case.
Foreign powers have nothing to do with
the internal compacts which may exist be-
tween the several States in the Union, nor
can they be held responsible Independent Of
the general government.
Mr.. Webster in reply takes the ground
that neither in England nor in the United
States, can persons confined under judi
ciaI process, be released any other way.
than by judicial process. In neither country
can the arm of the executive interfere to de-
liver prisoner committed by due process
of law. The discharge Of Mcleod must
therefore be sought in conformity TO the
principles Of law, acknowledged in both
countries. The avowal Of the fact, that
the destruction of the Caroline, was an
act authorized by the British authorities,
gives 10 the case decided aspect; but the
American government does not distrust its
ability to redress pbblic wrongs by public
means. Mr.. Webster signifies that the
destroying Of the Caroline, cannot be iusti-
fed as an act of self defence Neither
does Mr.. Webster admit the term pirates
TO be just, which Mr.. Fox is pleased to
appy to those, who took part in the insur-
rection against the British Government.
1t is notorious that subjects Of Great Bril-
tain, have for the last two centuries been
permitted 10 engage in foreign wars, both
national and civil. Whole regimen have
been openly enlisted, armed and disciplined
in Englan with the express object Of aid
ing in a rebellion against a nation with
whom England was at peace. Yet Eng
land has never allowed her subjects to be-
come pirates. The American government
has never sought to eXtenuate the crimes
of those citizens Of the United States, who
have engaged in military expeditions
against Canada. Congress passed an act
March Is SO, for the express purpose Of
restraining military expeditions, from The
United States to the British Provinces.
1t will therefore be for her Maiesty's
Government TO show upon what rules Of
national law the act in question is 10 be de-
Tended. 1t must appear that absolute self
defence at the tinc, and under immediate
circumstances justified an attack in the
darkness Of night, while the men on board
the Ca roline were unarmed and asleep
taking advantage Of the occasion 10 des-
troy human life and send the vessel over
the cataract Of Niagara. Unless an abso-
Lutte necessity for all this did exist, the act
cannot be justified.

We have been looking for proclama-
ton from the Governor ordering special
election, to fill the vacancy in tie deIcgacy
occasioncd by the appointment of our de-
legate to the Office which he now holds.
That we have a vacancy TO I'LL there can
be no doubt. Judge Doty, it will be recol-
lected, took his seat, after his first election,
in the second session Of the 25th Congress,
he was elected to fill no vacancy, and con-
sequently, from his two elections, his time
Of service would continue until, and expire
at the close Of, the first regular session of
the 9th Congress. When Judge Doty
first went to Washington az delegate, Gen.
Jones contested his seat on the ground that
he, Jones. had right TO the seat until the
end Of the 25th Congress, but Congress
decided otherwise; and have refused since
to pass bills introduced by Judge Doty, re-
gulating the sitting of the delegate, so that
his service might commence with the CON-
mencement Of Congress, thereby leaving
the matter where it rested by the decision
in the case Of Jones'. AS further evil
dence, it will be recoIlectcd that our legis-
lature a couple Of sessions since, passed
law providing for the election of delegate
one year earlier than usual, and one year
before the person elected could take his
seat: Of course then, the delegate we shall
elect at the regular election this fall, will
not be entitled TO his seat until one wear
from his election, or at the second session
Of the 9th Congress.
We lave no doubt that we have two de-
Iegates to elect this fail, that is, if we are
to be represented in the regular session Of
the present Congress- We have alluded
TO the matter knowing that misapprehon-
sion on the subject, existed in the minds of
many. and itnot having been agitated else
where IN the territory.
