THE CREOLE cAsE-MR. RAyNER.

If Mr.. Rayner be correctly reported in the
National Intelligencer he held this language, in
the House of Representatives, on Monday
He did not concur with all the sentiments contain
ed in the letter of the Secretary of State on the
Creole case. Although he felt indignant at the
resolutions Of the member from Ohio Mr.. Giddngs)
which shocked every feeling of humanity in Justify
ing mutny and murder, yet he did not admit that in
the absence of international stipuations, we had a
right to demand surrender of those slaves for trial
for those crimes Neither did he admit that the
English Government bound, in the absence Of
any treaty on the subject to arrest and surrender
them as fugitive slaves.
We are bound to presume since he comments
on the Secretary's letter. that he had conde-
scended to read it; but this presumption is a
good deal shaken, by this showing of what he
considers its contents. 1t would undoubtedly
be source of regret, if it should be found, in
The end, that the honorable member "did not
concur with all the sentiments contained in the
letter of the Secretary; but this regret would
be considerably abated if il should appear that
the honorable member had made up his judg-
ment upon the question of concurrence
without having perused the paper. Now,
we must beg leave to say, that not one OF those
sentiments, in which the honorable member
says he does not concur, is to be found in the
letter at all The Secretary of State has as
serted no right to demand surrender Of these
slaves for trial for their crimes y nor has he
any where asserted, or minated, that "the
English Government was bound, in the absence
of any treaty on the subject to arrest and sur.
render them as fugitive slaves" Mr. Rayner
seems. to have taken his idea of the ground a 5
sumed by the Government of the United States
not from the Secretary's letter buI from obser
ydtlons made in the British House of Lords, b,
yations, IN the MAN, were Just enough, but thu
had no application to the case They met n

them tell Us II these lnomentous concerns do
not offer sufficient occupation for their sagacity
and talents. When members of Congress rise
IN their places, is il 10 discuss questions OF ma
uonal interest and solve points Of State policy
On no. these are matters of too small lmpor'
lance to be attended TO, when compared with
mutual vllihcations and imputations OF sinister
motives, and abusive trades against the Presl-
dent and his Cablnet-o say word about the
concerns OF the country would be unworthy OF
these uniied9ed statesmen who aspire TO rule a
nation, when, as would seem, they have not
yet learned to govern themselves and think
they speak 10 9 Buncombe" when they call hard
names and utter slang phrases about "treason TO
party" &c. In this, however, these gentlemen
calculate without their host. They will find that,
although been house orators may relish such de-
leclable exhibitions of spleen and ignorance, the
sober minded yeomanry of the country are not
TO be deceived by anything of the kind. What
the people want, and what they will have, on
the part OF their representatives, is attention TO
the existing necessities of the nation! They
want good government, no matter under whose
name and II they do not get it, they have sense
enough to know how to right themselves. The
woods are on fire, let the gentlemen look out.

measures before Congress for 10 enlargement
and modification of the naval establishments, :
marks thai the country will sustain the Govern
ment in whatever may be done TO place this Ia

AMI only regret that so much time has been

MIR. EDITOR
In my last communication stated the incontrover-
tlbe fact that the advocates of the Pilot Law can
boast of but one benefit it has produced They saw,
lha under Its operation the activity and energy of the
pilots IN the performance of their duty have immense
ly increased. That activity however, instead of be.
ing advantageous, obviously injurious 1t proved
1t asserted, that the pilots, instead of lying off and
on IN the vicinity of the harbor they did formerly
now proceed several hundred miles 10 sea | rcpcat
that the probability is increased by the new system
that they will not encounter the vessels which win
need their services, The truth of the assertion an.

/ uch claim, as the American Government has
actually put forth. II might perhaps, have
been presumed by the exercise Of large
Chart that the Secretary OF State knew
som thing of the laws of nations, in their ap-
pllcation 10 this subject; something of the his
tory and practice of his own Government; and
something of the decisions of the Supreme
Court of the United States, recent as well as
more early. This charitable presumption might
Justly, perhaps, have led the honorable member
TO careful consideration of the ground which
had been taken in behalf of the Government OF
his country before he stood up to discaim and
reject il,
The case of the Creole, as presented in pa
pers and proofs now before Congress, is this
An American vessel, having slaves on board,
was passing from one port of the United States
TO another. In the course of the voyage, the
slaves mulinied, rose upon the master and crew,
killed one man, runaway with the vessel, and
carried her into a British port. In that port,
British authorities went on board the vessel, de-
clared the slaves all free, and by force assisted
their escape. Those Immediately concerned in
anu thty uclu lOI SOIuc tllut,
but have since, rs is understood sci free
For these slaves, thus forcibly set free, on
board an American vessel carried into British
port 6y mutneers and murderers, the Secretary
o. State ha, expressed the opinion that com
prnsaton ought 10 be made. This is the sub
stance OF the Secretary's letter. There was
M demand for fugitive slaves there was no
demand /" for the mulineers and murderers TO be
sgnt home for trial The complaint was Of
actual interference, by force by the local British
authorities, in setting the slaves free.
As to the right Of demanding fugitiycs from
justice, OF fugitive slaves or persons charged
with offences, whether on the land or on the
seas, il will, perhaps, in due time, appear whe-
therin regard to these questions the Executive
Government Of the country is SO benighted, as
thar il must not expect Mr.. Rayner's concur
renee IN ITS opinions.

equally true that Judge Tucker did disagree with
Chancellor Kent In many of his views of the Con-

id consider and so taught 10 consider, the States
not merely as municipal authorities but sovereign
ties, ana the Federal Government as creature OF
these sovereignties formed by contract and entirely

having delegated power this power Cor the Constr

MEssRs. GENTRY AND RAYNER.

These two worthless, with the accustomed
spirit and zeal which prevail in the councils Of
the advocates Of elligy -whiggery, let off vast
quantity OF lll-temper and spite on Monday.
Each consumed about two hours time in max
ing their exceedingly silly and irrelevant
speeches; about twenty minutes of the two
hours being devoted to what, in courtesy may
called discussion of the question before the
House. What Mr.. Gentry meant by announc-
ing his preference for 'damnaion,' ratherhan
yield any support to the present Executive Ad-
minlslration of the Government, we do not I'M
dcrstand Has not the entire country sustained
the President in the exercise Of the Veto pow
er? Is il not now admitted by every sensible
man that Bank Of the United States, as pro-
posed in the two schemes presented 10 the Presi-
dent during the last summer, could not have gone
into operation? Who was, then, most TO blame
in that matter? These very men, for passing
inefficient plans Of finance, or The President for
vetoing their folly Z? Does not the Land bill
contain :. distribution clause, which repeals the
law. ipso .fdcto, the moment the duties are
raised beyond 20 per cent for purposes of re-
IL
tariff of duties beyond 20 per cent? Donot the
necessities of the Government require re- adj
justment of the tariff? Then we appeal to the
People OF the country, and ask them in what
has the President offended We will warn
these e1igy burners, and inform them
nounce the President. They are the parti-
sans Of politicians aspiring to the Presidency,
under whom, if success crown their efforts,
they are looking for personal rewards and it is
simply and plainly because the President Of the
United States refused to become the tool and
partisan Of Mr.. Clay to make him President,
that he is denounced in a manner entirely un-
precedented in the history of any time or
country.
But do these denunciators strive TO allay the
unparalleled anxieties and dstresses Of the
country? Do they furnish gold to an empty
Treasury Do they sustain the credit of the
Government? DO they make our negotiations
with England and Mexico less critical, or afford
any defence and protection to the honor of the
country, if war should assall il? Let their con
stitucnts, the People, decide these questions
we leave them TO their justice. Beware, how
ever, lest, like Cicero in the Senate chamber
they arise and Indignantly demand, while Their
best interests are suffering, the national crcdi,
wrhing in the dust, the cloud of war threaten
ing in the horizon, and the country weak and
helpless: "Quousque tandem Catina abutere
patlentia nostra Z"
Possibly the most silly remark which fell
from Mr.. Rayner's lips, was comparison o.
the party prospects of the Manifesto pol
ticians. He compared their present position to
the darkness that envelopes the earth during
the darkest hour of the night. He expects
however, that bright dawn will follow. The
gloom Of the Federal Wing prospects, isa com
parison of fact; the expectation of bright
dawn is mere speculation. No. tr-no bright
dawn will follow.

and as he seemed to have obeyed orders in ev-
cry thing, he requested him TO remain where he
was until fault should be found with him for
neglect of duty
Some OF our readers may think that the above
is fiction, but we assure them that, as the
writers OF stories say, the letter Is 'founded on
tact;" and, we doubt not, the experience OF
many of our friends, who turns ut a distance,
will bear witness TO the probability of the tale.
