THE LATE BANKRUPT ACT.

Some time during the last season, Judge
Wells, of the u. S. District Court for the
Dislric, of Missouri, made decision in il
case under the late L. S. Bankrupt Act,
against the conslituionai,y of that act.
That decision having lately come under re-
view before Justice Ca,ron of the u. S. Cir
cult Court, sitting in the same District, has
been reversed and the constitutional validity
of the act affirmed. 1t is unders STOOD that
Judge Wells will conform to the decision in
the Circuit Court, so that in all other cases,
and there are many, pending in the District
Court, the act will lie held valid.
In the Louisiana U. $. Circuit Court, al
so, Justice Mckinley has had occasion to
pass upon the same question, and he has
sustained the validity Of the act.
These decisions will probably put an end
to all further litigation of,he question of the
validity of the Bankrupt act in the Mssissip-
pi Valley, and the proceedings under it will
go ON without obstruction till they are all dis
posed Of.

will fail to send delegates land those too, who
really represent the Wing feeling Of their
towns. We arc now, as It were, TO organize
the district, and scrape acquaintance for a
ten years pull in the sama harness and it is Of
the highest importance that we begin Alright.
Let all be fairness and justice in the iorma-
ton and action of the convention, and then
we may reasonably hope for unanimity, and

have made this simple Statement, of facts
merely, and avoided every thing which might
wear the appearance of vitupcralion or
abuse, for the obvious reason that, in COM
mon with nineteen twcnlicths of the intclli-
gent citizens of tins State, we have long re-
garded Mr. Tyler as too degraded, contempt
IDLE, and insignificant to ent,lc him to the
dignity Of invcclvc: for we arc not of the
number Of those who think that high station
can confer either worth, responsibility, or
reputation upon dshonored and polluted
name. AS we have already said the intclli-
gcncc of Mr.. Slacy's removal reached this
place on Saturday evening, and the County
Court being in session, IA meeting of the Wing
members of the bar was called on Monday
morning, at which Mr.. S. was unanimously
recommended for the Office of Clerk of the
Court, place which has been filled, for the
last twenty years, by Loco Foco, though,
the County has always been Wing. And
the Court, complying with the wishes of the
bar, have given HIM the appointment This
post is quite as lucrative and honorable as
that from which Mr.. Stacy had just been
elected, and the promptncss with which the
appointment was made was very crcdi,abl,
to all parties concerned in it. The result o
this atrcmpt at prescription will teach certain
rcncgddcs, whether they reside in New Yorl
or Washington, that, before they again at
tempt to cncroach upon the rights Of the
Green Mountain Boys, they would do wei
to see whether there are not some Of ,hci

highly expert in the use of the bayonct, and
the hardest soldiers in Europe. The cav
airy arc good, and the arllcrymcn are good,
but the great strength in defensive warfare
lies in the Cossack horscmcn. Who can

wild cavaliers of the descrt-of their intense
attachment to their coun,ry-of their tiger

invading army. Bonaparle's Frenchmcn saw
it often to their sorrow, and fell before it like
the SIMEON.
But what will the ambitious dcspot Mich
olas, with an ambitious, conqucst-loving pco-
pie, like the Russians, do next? 1t is very
easy to see what he would do if it were not
for the fleets of England. Turkey would
soon go into tha, capacious nav which has
already swallowed Poland, and great part
of Persia, without appearing to be any near
er full than was the Slough of Despair ai,cr
all the contributions of stone and rubbish,
from the Land of Destruction. The Empress
Catharinc long since saw, that the posses
sion of Turkey would give her possession OF
the Archipelago, add the key Of the whole
East and therefore she erected a column on
the frontiers of the devoted country with this
inscriptions:
This is the way to Constantinopk.
That column is the guide post of Russian
: politics; and should another general wal
break out. an army of Russia might soon b,
seen marching by it, in triumph, bearing the
; spoils of the oldest capital in Europe to :
city which one hundred and fifty years agt
was frozen marsh.

ANOTHER TOUCH OF TYLERISM.

llENRY b. Stacy was removed from the
office of Post Master, in this place, on Sat-
urday Of last week, and DANA WINsLow,
Editor of the Sentinel, was appointed in his
place. OF this change we have at present
very little to say. 1t is in perfect keeping
with all the recent public acts of Mr. Tyler
1t cxctcs no regret in the breast of the gen.
tleman who has been prescribed, no indlgna-
ton among his numerous friends, and no
surprise in the community at large. All our
citizens know that Mr.. Stacy has been at
great expense in fitting up his Office, and that
he has changed it from the most dark and
dreary, and dismal hole in this whole town
IA fit emblem of Notwithstanding one of
the most neat, tasteful, and elegant Post or
fees in all New England. We all know too
that he has discharged his duties as Post Mas
ter to the perfect satisfaction of the whole
community. without reference to party. We
may add also that he has carefully abstaincd
so far as an honest man and good citizen
could abstain, from any active Interference in
party politics since he was appointed. And
we have the most satisfactory evidence that
ninety nine hmdredtas Of our postage-pay,
ing citizens were utterly opposed to a,J
change in the Office, "and least of all &c
such change" as has now taken place. =
But Notwithstanding all this, and the addc,
fact that Mr.. Stacy received his commission
from the hands of Mr.. Tyler himself, yet a
We have said before, his removal exciles NJ
surprise whatever in this community. W.
