HE IwENTY-sECoND was celebrated in most
becoming style by our military, who paraded
during the day, and made commendable APP
pearance. The weather was glorious, and our
streets were thronged with fashionables. A ma
tional salute was fred by the Columbian Artil-
lery at morning, noon, and shutdown. We no.
tced the Washington Light Infantry, National
Blues, Mechanical RiAemen, Union Guards, and
Junior Artillerists, of our city, and the Potomac
Dragons, Independent Grays, and Morgan Rife
men, OF Georgetown, on the march, and their
fine turnout deserved, as il received, the comp-
ments Of our best military judges. We partic-
ularly noticed the evolutions and fine soderly
appearance of the Union Guards; who were
accompanied by the very excellent German
Band of our city. The Washington Light In
fantry, Capt France, after parading our principal
streets, sat down to sumptuous dinner, pre-
pared by Messrs. King & Hall. The Mayor of
Washington, several officers of the Princeton,
and some Of our citizens, were present as guests
In the evening, the military attended, in uni
form, the Metropolitan Lyceum, in Apollo Hall,
and listened to an eloquent grafton by F. w.
Thomas, Esq.
The Franklin Lyceum celebrated the day at
st. Matthew'S church by the delivery Of an ex.
cellent Grafton by member, and the reading Of
Washington's Farewell Address.
The advocates of Temperance had mass
meeting in Concert Hall in the evening, and
were addressed by James Hoban, Esq, and other
able friends of this great cause.
The National Birth-Night Assembly,at Carusis
was most brilliant; fashion and beauty were there
in all their loveliness; every one seemed to be
pleased with each other, and the world. Dan
cling was kept up until a late hour
And last, but greatest in enthusiasm and
numbers was gathering Of the gallant Wings Of
the District at the Assembly Rooms, called by the
City Clay Club, which displayed all the fire and
enthusiasm of 40. But we defer further and
full account Of this meeting until tomorrow.

TEXAS-THE TARIFF.

! Last week we clroncled the confident assertion
of the correspondent of the New York Tribune
that the Wings of the United States Senate had
sealed the fate of the Texas treaty. We now find
in the Boston Atlas of the 9th inst the confident
assertions that Ieras ,ciH not be annexed TO the u
nionthe Tariff ,cH not be repealed or aLtered-that
on both these subjects the Wings of the Senate are
united and inmovable. In another part of its ari-
Gle the Atlas says:
highly distinguished gentleman of sopth speaking
with full knowledge of his subject in letter ieeming
fdencc friends in the Senate. They will he
seduced caoIod corrupted The pride of position,
ing in bad times, Constitutions the Law the Order and as
far may, the kindly Affections of County,
We shall meet all these questions without quaing.
" Mr. Clay, in due season, win be the country
regard 10 these That the position he shall
will be in accordance with life foil of actions, sprnging
from heart large and broad enough to comprehend the whole
country, and all its Interests, no friend need doubt"
We trust this is indeed so; that in the hands of
the Wing Senate the country is safe--for were not
the Senate, as it is, Wing, we have hardly doubt
that the worst would come speedily. But still we
say let the people not be luled let them act as if
upon their action the questions dcpended-for it
must be remembered that though the mass of the
Wings may be true will be true beyond question
yet the Wing majority is small and the casual
ties of session, sickness or death, may reverse
that majority on any OCCASION Perhaps this is the
meaning of the National Inteligencer of the 4th
inst when it says that the scheme of annexation is
not dead, nor danger of its accomplishment by
coup dc main past.
Again we say, Send on remonstrances An ably
drawn remonsrance will be found on our first page.
1t is hardly necessary to say that Hon. WIN. Jarvis
is its author.
Vermont watchman and State journal. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1836-1883, 1844-04-12

act was done Is to be included. This was direct
recognition, that in question as to the time when
law takes effect, there parts or divisions OF
q day. The day is to be included, because there
being no fraction of a day, the act relates to the
first moment of the day on which it is done and is
as if it was then done. This is the very reason
given in the books for the rule the court rely upon
Instead Of intmating that there could be any rac-
ton of day in such a question, or that it would
be proper to reverse the general rule of law and
consider the act in force only from the last instant
of the day, the court held, that the day on which
the act was approved was to be included in its cp-
Grafton, and that goods imported OH that day must
be taken to have been imported after the passing
OF the act, and of course were liable to the double
duties imposed by it. Such was the decision; and
it surely could not have been supposed at the time
that the decision at all at variance with any Of
the provisions of the constitution, or in the slight
est degree incompatible with any of its principles
or objects.
The case to which have just referred is GER
tainly very strong case, and appears to me to be
exactly in point. 1t decides, that all act which is
to take effect from and after its passage goes into
operation the day on which it is approved, and in.
cudos the day. The determination Is one of high
and paramount authority, and, In my Judgment,
covers the whole question presented in the present
case. Looking, then, both to principle and author
ty am not able TO see that there is any substan-
tial ground for doubt upon the matter. Still, as
different views have been expressed elsewhere, ana
as never wish the rights of any party to be con
clusively bound by my opinion, when there is any
way open for an appeal to higher tribunal, shall
very readily allow the question: if the petitioner
desires it, to be certified into the Circuit Court to
be there ultimately settled and finally disposed Of
