EFFECT OF THE DECISION,

The Pittsburgh American, abiding to
the discharge Of several fugitive slaves,
by magistrate in Harrisburg, on the
ground of want of Jurisdiction in any of
the State Courts, says:-"The late decis-
ion of the Supreme Court of the United
States, thought at the time to be favorable
10 the South, works most disadvantageous-
~ for it. b. that decision SHAREHOLDERS
can come into this or any other free State,
aud take their slave, but can obtain no aid
from the civil authority. That decision
has done too much - better for the South
they had never obtained it, The conse-
quence will be the loss of all the slaves
held on the land bordering on the free
States, who can once pass the line. -

VETo FROM Galveston dates
| to the 9th ult. have been received at New
Orleans. The expected invasion of Mex
leo has been postponed for the present,
for President Houston has exercised
the lone man power" and vetoed an act
of the Texas Congress, Ito authorize Of
fensive war against Mexico" The veto
message is dated on the 22d ut.. and takes
the ground that the republic has not in
possession the means 10 carry On such a
war. and that Congress has not the ar-
thorIty under the constitution for such pur-
pose, as it has no power to force militia TO
do service beyond The limits of the repub
lie. He says it would require 5000 vol
unteers and 100000 for such pur-
pose, and that the treasury is exhausted.
YANKEE ENTERPRIsE.-Mr. Samuel
Whitmarsh, distinguished SILK grower
in Northampton, Mass, failed in his bust
ness at the time the Mulberry tree hubble
burst, three or four years since. Nothing
depressed, he went cut 10 jamaica with his
skill and Mulberry trees and "traded !"
with the Government there for the intro
duction of the silk business into the island
He has succeeded well, and after a recent
visit to London, he has returned to Mas
sachusetts to replenish his stock Of silk
worms eggs and other information. He
soon returns to Jamaica, having contracted
at Manchester for the construction of an
iron cocoonery, 240 feet long, "a feet high,
and about 80 wide, which is TO be trans
ported 10 jamaica. The covering of the
cocoonery is 10 be sheet,iron the windows
of gauze wire. The expense will be about
$4,000 This durable material is used as
affording greater protection against the
moth, and other enemies Of The worm.
1t is the intention of the British capt.
talists to extend the silk business, all over
the island of Jamaica. Mr. Wbitmarsh
says, the black girls of the island take
hold of the business of reeling as readily
as white girls do. in this country.
