On our Hrst page will be found The able
speech of Governor Woodbridge on the
bill to remit the fine imposed on General
Jackson by Judge Hall, and on the right
ofinstrnction by the Stale Legislatures.
The views taken by Governor Wood
bridge, are not only new and original, but
exhibit the grossest ignorance of the
principles of the constitution on The part
OF those assuming the right to instruct, and
demanding an expression of censure on
the official act ofJudge Hail. 1t has nev-
er been even pretended that Judge Hall
transcribed the boundary of his legal du-
ty, either in granting the writ Of Habeas
corpus or in imposing the fine. No such
pretence was ever set up. 1t may then
well be asked, what constitutional right
has congress to resolve itself into court
for the correction of errors, or into iu-
dicial tribunal under any other name, to
invade the rights OF another departmcp,
oil the government and in a case where
it is not pretended that there had been
any thing like a violation of Law or the
rules which Congress and the Conslitu.
ton had prescribed. We commend this
speech to the attention Of all, and most
TO our sapient Legislators

THE BLUE LICK GAMRLING

TO disprOve The charge that Mr.. Clay
INDUCED 10 his gambling habits while al

the whig papers have published the Ger.
ihcaIes OF two persons who say that they
lrnveled TO the Springs with Mr.. Clay
and we're there during his stay there, and
that they did'nt see him gamble. This
reminds us oflhc fellow who was brought
before a court on charge Of stealing
geese; aud after Two witnesses had sworr

he could bring dozen Witnesses who

WHAT'S THOUGHT OF NR. CLAY's
LAST LETTER IN THE NORTH.

ANNEXATlON.-The New York
Herald says Of Mr. Gays latest letter on
ann exation:-
at has placed Mr.. Clay in an attitude
o! direct hostility TO the curse hilh erto
pursued by his parry and himself. In
April last, Mr. Clay argued Os ably as
Mr.. Webster himself, against the annexa-
lion Of Texas. On the first OF JuIy, the
fine warm weather having probably matur
ed his IDEAS, he had personally, no Obiecl
ton to The annexation Of Texas and be-
FOre the month had passed away, he then
improved 50 rapidly that he was Obsut to
declare that he should he really glad to
see the annexation Of Texas carried into
effect"
The fact is M. Clay saw the I'D dassset
ting against him and he shifted his sails
accordingly.
