HIGH SANCTIONS.

AS the Wing party have incurred many hard
names, such as Federast, Arstocrat, &C., by
their advocacy Of United States Bank, it may
be as well to record fact in reference to that
subject which has been brought to our notice by
the remarks of Mr.. Garrett Davis, of KY, at the
recent Wing meeting in New York in honor Of
Mr.. CLAWS birthday. Mr.. d. stated that of the
thirty-seven delegates who signed the Declare
ton Of independence, thirty-two of them, to-
gether with General w ashington, supported the
establishment of United States Bank. We are
aware that this piece of history will be consider
ed matter of little consequence by Locofoco
politicians who are imbued with the spirit Of
progressive Democracy" but trust that it will
not be without its weight with the honest and
patriotic who constitute the great body of the
party. Let this fact be circulated through the
country, and we cannot well conceive how dema-
gogues will be able to summon the effrontery to
denounce as enemies of the people, those who
are endeayoring to restore the institutions OF
their forefathers.
But new maxim of Locofocoism has recently
been proclaimed, which declares that Democra-
cy is progressive" and that the Democrat of Mr..
Madison's times is no Democrat now, unless he
has discarded his old opinions and prejudices, and
adopted the new lights Of the modern school
The reader will recollect that this progression
has been given to the Democracy by the noto-
rous Fanny Wright, whose principles have car.
red her SO far beyond the vulgar prejudces o.
the age, that she has been able to discover the
Bible to be pack of fables, and the institution
of marriage ridiculous state of voluntary bond

TEXAS-THE GLOBE.

The Globe of Monday evening comes out upon
the long agitated Texas question, upon which il
has been hitherto silent. The contemplate
falsehood which it puts forward as an excuse for
its long silence upon question Of vital and abb
sorbing interest, is quite characteristic, but will
fail to deceive any one, or to conceal It's real
motives. The editor alleges that he has suffer
ed severely for several weeks from disease Of
the ear, and has, during that time, taken no part
that his partner in the establishment, assisted
by gifted friend, who had charge Of the edi-
torial columns Of his paper, only ventured to
express opinions on subjects upon which his SEN
timents were known. What a pity that poor
Mr.. Blair should have SO long been afflicted in a
way SO peculiar Deaf for six or eight weeks
Not able to say yes or no. Marvellous vista
ton And yet no body ever heard word of il
before. We wonder that Mr. Kendall has moi
chronicled it among those Providential Dispen-
sations which have been melted out to us for our
sin in electing General Harrison.
But the reasons suggested by the veracious
editor for his support Of the measure Of annexa-
ton are as characteristic as his excuse for hi
therto Withholding them. He says that Texas
lies contiguous to our country, is fertile and sau-
brious, and capable of producing our great staple
cotton, in bundance-therefore, it is ours. The
same sort Of reasoning would amply justify
footman in stealing horse, or lazy idle fellow
in supplying his wants at the expense of his
neighbor. If we may judge from the "signs Of
the times" we expect, before long, he'll have
the heart-ache added to his numerous calamities

JUDGE ELLIOTT CONVICTED.

The New Orleans Picayune gives us the first
intelligence we have of the result Of the impeach-
ment of Judge Elliott for issuing illegal natural
ization papers in New Orleans.
His conviction settles the question as to the
frauds practised by the Locofocos at the late
elections in that city, by which they were ena-
bled TO return two members TO Congress, elect a
Senator, and the Mayor Of the city. All these
persons were elected by means of spurious and
illegal naturalization papers, for issuing which,
Judge Elliott stands convicted of high crimes
and misdemeanors, and has been, by the unani-
nous decision Of the Senate, including, of course,
members of both political parties, removed from
Office
IMPEACHMENT CAsE.-This case terminated at
ten o'clock last evening. 1t was argued through
the week by Messrs. Walker, Mckinney, and
Soult, for the defence; and by Messrs Phelps,
Robertson, Wadsworth, and Randel Hunt, (the
managers on the part OF the House) for the pros
ecution. These gentlemen respectively acquit-
ted themselves with zeal and ability, but the
fight of the giants was with Mr.. Soule and Mr.
Hunt Between them we would draw no in
vidious distinctions each exerted, with all the
vigor which he could command the legal know
lcuSc WHlCu liz dCputCu, duu the elOuuenCe
and oratory with which nature gifted him. They
did on their respective parts what they could do
few other men could have done more.
The Court were several hours in consultation
from FIVE until ten o'clock. When they re-
turned TO announce their verdict they took their
seats in the House of Representatives, and the
Secretary, ,Horatio Davis, read it.
The Court found Judge Elliott guilty Of the
four articles Of impeachment preferred against
him--the majority being on two of the articles,
10 yeas and nays aud on the other two, III
yeas and nays. They then unanimously re-
solved that Judge Elliott be forthwith removed
from his Office, and that it be considered vacant
from this, the 9th day of April.
We may add, that they also unanimously re-
solved that this verdict should not, nor was it
meant, to affect the legality or validity of the
certificates of naturalization issued by Judge FL
liott; and further, that six days time be given

LATE FROM HAYTI.

slip from the Office of the Charleston Couri-
er, furnishes the following intelligence brought
by the arrival off Charleston bar on the 18th
instant, Of the brig Sea Eagle, of Boston, which
sailed from Jacmel on the 3lst ult:
Before the Sea Eagle left Jacmel, all the dis
possible forces at and near that place, had pro-
ceeded against the rebels in the Spanish part of
the island A detachment from the regular
army had taken possession of the Spanish town
of Aqua, sixty miles west of the city Of st. Do
mngo, without molestation, after which they
were fred upon by the Spaniards, who in re-
turn were punished almost to annihilation.
Notwithstanding the well known strength Of
the.fortifcation of the city, the Haytiens marched
with perfect confidence in their ability to rout
the Spaniards but few hours previous to the
departure of the Sea Eagle, the Elizabeth brought
accounts from the city Of the arrival at that place
of a French frigate and sloop Of war. 1t was
believed that these two vessels were there for
the object of sustaining the rebels and that this
was the "foreign aid" limited at by the President
in his proclamation at the outbreak of the re-
bellion.
General Geffrard, a gallant leader in 1s43, and
a very accomplished officer, was in command al
Jacmel which place filled with women and
children from the city, was, in the absence of
the National Guard, under the protection Of the
people from the mountains. Besides Gen. g.
several other distinguished individuals in the
service, all "eager for the Fray" were kept from
the scene of action by the orders OF the Presi-
dent consequent upon this, order had been pre-
served throughout the important reimbursement
Of Jacmel. All the ports in the island, from
Jacmel to Monte Christie on the eastern and
northern board, were, according to the declara-
ton OF the President, in state OF blockade.
