"WHO SHALL DECIDE WHEN
DOCTORS DISAGREE"

Mr.. EDIToR:-I would once more
beg the privilege of inserting few
lines in the columns of your paper,
touching the controversy between my
self and Doctor Irwin of your town.
l am we'll aware, as | observed to
you on making similar request two
or three weeks since, that Editors Of
political papers have no lack of "mat-
ter" at such time as this; neverthe-
less, | hope you will find space for the
paragraphs | have to communicate at
this time.
observe,by the Doctors commune
cation, that he declines saying anything
more on the subject, SO that you and
your readers WILDE free from all such
matter as this, after this week: think
inc, however that the DR.. may alter
his mind on the subject, and conclude
to 'scome out" once more, | hope you
will not refuse him the use of your col
umns should he wish 10 reply.

repeat that the treaty with Texas
violated no treaty between this govern
ment and Mexico, or other powers
1t violated no principle of information
al law. It was fairly made, without
fraud Or guile, according to the princi-
pies of the constitution. Then how
dare any man to call it "Mr. Ty-
ler's infamous treaty." In what does
the infamy consist7 Is it in the fact
that Mexico claimed Texas as a revolt
ing province? Then, as Spain claim
ed Mexico, when Mr.. Clay essayed to
purchase Texas of her as a revolving
province, for the same reason, and with
as much proprietv, it might have been
said Mr.. Clay's infamous attempt to
acquire Texas"
With equal justice may it be char
ged against General Jackson and Mr..

acquire Texas from Mexico, without
( consulting Spain, were infamous.
have, fear, gentlemen, occupied
/ too much of your time in justification
of the Administration for making the
treaty. I will not detain you to reca-
| pituIate the many other reasons why
Texas should be annexed. Those who
were most active in It's rejection, and
may say, large majority Of the A
merican people, are for re-annexing
/ Texas to the Union. I fear, however,
ifthey postpone the annexation until
they can obtain the consent Of Mexico,
their wishes and ardent desires will ne
yer be consummated. Honest objec-
tons, or rather preiudices of pecu-
liar kind, against annexation, may and
do exist in some portions Of the coun-
try. Political objections are to be
found with many. They existed and
manifested themselves when Mr.. JEFF
ferson purchased Louisiana. Then, as
now, Mr.. Adams's predecessors threat
ened, if Louisiana was annexed, they
. would dissolve the Union. 1t was an.
nexed, and the Union, thank God, in
stead of being dissolved, was strength
! ened. And where is the statesman O.
patriot who regrets the acquisition o
Louisiana? Who would be willing
now to be without it,
Y Rely upon it, gentlemen, these meI
who threaten to dissolve the Union arr
not in earnest. You could not drive
the States, wherein they reside, out 0

E.s: Cabi. Catastrophe.

Does not the catastrophe detailed in the
following extract from the Richmond En-
quirer. look like rsbuke from aboce.
upon the attempt to revive the demorali-
zing scenes Of 1910!
We sincerely regret to announce mel
ancholv event, which occurred at the
Wing Club House at sunset last evening.
The house was just finished, and about
100 persons had clustered together on the
ridgepole of the roof, which was about
40 or fifty fee, from the ground-an indi-
vidual had taken of his hat, and was
about to proclaim that the Rally would
take place to-day, when large portion OF
the roof fell in carrying down the whole
crowd of persons. We have not been
able to gather the parlicuIars-but under
stand that the following are the names OF
the persons who were the greatest suffer
ers. Doctor l.emosy, badly; Ed. Allen,
very badly; w. Pearson leg broke; W.
II. Redwood, leg broke; Mr. Walsh. arm
broken in two places; Mr.. Adie, arm bro
ken in two places; MIR. Pemberton, thigh
broke; Hugh Fry and son, badly: Rob
ert Maynard, ancle broke; Mr.. Mays arm
broken; young Crouch. badly.
Some of :he boys suffered very much.
A son Of Mr.. S. n. Myers had an arm
broken in two PLACES. A son Of Mr..
Creme, also, had an arm broke. Two
sons of Nv. Walsh were much injured
ono having his leg broken, the other con-
sidcrablv hurt. Others, whose names VIC
have not been able 10 learn, were much
injured. though not very dangerously.
God forbid that we should feel any
qualification IN the sulIeripgs of our fei'
low men; but in sober sadstss we could
not help renccling, that the breaking o
bones which was occasioned by the fall
inc Of this roof, may be a less calamity
to the sufferers than the deprivation OF
morals which might have occurred be

Slave Cucsiion settled.

An important decision was made by the su-
premo court of this state, at It's present term, in
regard to the right Of STAKEHOLDER, passing
through the state to his slaves, on the case Of Ju
lius A. Willard, who was indicted in the Morgan
circuit court for hnrboriDg and sccrc'ng slave,
was fined for the offence, and took al apPoal to
tho supreme court. The Anon Telegraph glrca
the following sketch Of the case: "iLelndlc'm'nt
charged that willard sccrotol the slave, knowing
her 10 be such, while tie owner was passing
through Illinois, on her way to her residence IN
the state Of Louisiana. To this indictment there
was interpreted demurrer the counsel for " d.
lard urging that the slave having been brought
into this state with tie assent ci hcrmastrr, there
by became frco-iha, tho institution Of slavery
was purely local in t3 character, and copiiucd to
the slave stales--anl that the moment slave
placed hs foot upon The sail Of Notwithstanding
state. with the consent Of bis MUSTER the shocA'ts
Of slavery were dissolved, and tho slave became a
fec man. Judge Lockwood, ia tie court below,
ovcrruled the demurrer aud imposed foe Of
twenty dollars upon Willard. The supreme
court have affirmed that Judgment, and settled The
doctrine, so far as the highest legal tribunal Of
our state could establish it, tha, stakeholder hos
a perfect light to pass through Illinois whh hl-
slaves, and that comfy between thc states would
protect him in regarding the slave as such, while
within our limits. This il in direct conflict wi'I
decisions made upon the same question: by the su-
prcme courts Of the states Of Massachusetts, and
pcnnylyania, aud what is regarded unc IN Oho
as the settled law Of tho land. The ouiy dis,lrc-
ton that was or could be drawn between the ca
scs il, that in Illinois, slavery 10 ccrlrIa extent
exists under our constitution and Lass. We
however did not regard upon arrangement, thai
the distinction sought to be taken Wa, by any
mean sustained. Whether this case vii 60 uI
10 the supreme court Of tho United states, wear,
not positively advised: although NC 80 under
stood it at the time il was argued IN the Suprcmc
court, provided the decision was adverse to Nh
willard. The cause was most pb'y aul olaho-
ra,cly argued on the part Of Willard, by James II

a singular case in bankruptcy was recently
tried in Connecticut. Samuel s. Cotton, minor
applied for the benefit Of the act, having two cre.
