RAYS Radial Rail Road.

We acknowledge the reception of a note from
Ex-Governor Ray, requesting the publication of
long communication appearing in the "Spectator,'
which he says was intended answer to the
Marion County Congressional Committee, " made IN
anticipation Of call upon asPirants for replies to
certain specific questions. This answer" written
previous to the propounding of said questions
to be, might naturally expect, entirely irree-
want. This aside, however: the proceedings of the
District Convention, furnished to by the Secre
taries, were printed according to the official copy
They embraced nothing in relation to this Rail Road
project of Mr. Ray. Nevertheless, for the gratifca-
tion of the writer, we may. if we can find room in
next paper endeavor give least the gfst of the
very, and to US, the ercraciGtingly Ing article The
whole thing in ten words amoupts to this Gov. Ray
endeavors to improve upon the late propositions in
favor of a Rail Road to Oregon. Instead of being
SATISFIED with the comparatively modest scheme OF
Mr. Whitney, as made to the last Congress, Gov. r.
proposes grand confederation, series of roads
to touch at every principal city in the Union, the
main lines to cross at Indianapolis and to extend to
favorable points, the the Atlantic, and the other
to the Pacific ocean. The Gov. has very long titles
these embryo roads, proporti med perhaps to then
length but they rather inconvenien to people
who can't talk fast and have but little time to spare
have thought best to give them sort of generic
cognomen rather more convenient: to wit, Rays
Radal Rail Roads. We shall not stop here-be-
cause we cant-to point out the beauties concisely
embodied in such title they must be plain to every
one of sense and discernment; every body else we
snap our fingers at As these roads get out into
the Wilderness Mr. R. proposes the location of villages
at every ten miles distance, and cities at every hun
dred miles, along the whole line of EACH the lots
which, they into market, will only enrich
every body lucky enough to have possession of one
but will pay immense premium the stock. The
grand capital, however, which Mr.. R. proposes tc
commence, is grant of lands two thousand miles long
and one hundred miles in width, elgiby situated,
be bestowed by Congress.
Time Is short-Space precious. We hope TIN
abstract will be satisfactory to the protector of the
scheme. If not we will try to do better.

Baltimore Repeal, ASSOCIATION.

This Association, we learn from the Philadel-

formally dissolved at meeting. The Presi-

copy of the speech Daniel OConne recently deliver

ton, in which he administered much abuse to this
country, and offered the British Government, for a
consideration" the aid Of the Irish people in war
against this country, that the Z" American eagle
should be brought down from his proud height. "
This he laid before the executive committee of the
Association, and they after mature deliberation, pre-
pared preamble and resolutions, vindicatory of the
associations its friends and the Irish adopted citizens,
as connected with the idea of the respect due to
American feelings, and regard for their own cha
racter American citizens. Daniel O'Connell was
freely censured and he and his speech most emphat-
cdy repudated and the last of the series Of resou-
tons save one of FORM looking to the publication Of
the proceedings dissolved the Association and trans

UNITED STATES CIRCUIT COURT.

The U. S. Circuit Court, Judge Mclean presiding,
commenced its regular session in this city on Mon
day, 10th inst.
On Tuesday cause came up involving the valIdi-
ty of the Relief laws The decision of the Court
confrmatory of previous decisions the same ques-
ton, and to the effect that debts must continue TO be
subject to the provisions of the law affecting the
tract at the time it was made.
On the same day the Great S'1re Case came on for
argument, on demurrer to the declaration. The
points made, for brief sketch Of which We IN
debsed tc our friend ]. s. Reid, Esq, the fol-
lowing
1st That slavery was only State local institu,
ton g That slavery is based on local laws not sus
tanned or supported by either moral, natural or ma
tonal law; 3. That if slave escape from the State
in which he is held in slavery, either by accident
consent of his master, against that consent be is
forever free; A. That the ordinance Of 1857, organ
ling the North Western Territory, only guarantees
the delivering up o! fugitves from labor to citizens
the original States, and that as Missouri QrOn
whence the slaves escaped,) not one of the orr
ginal States the citizens Of Indiana were not bound
to deliver up to Missouri her runaway slaves.
These points very ably argued by Judge Ste
phens and Mr. Quarles for the defendants, and 0. II
Smith, Wick and Barbour for plaintiff.
| Judge Mclean delivered the opinion of the Court
He admitted the correctness Of the propositions l,
and B, but overruled the demurrer, deciding that
Indiana had remained territory, under the ordinance
she would not have been bound to have delivered u
the slaves but having adopted constitution whic
in part abrogates the law Of the ordinance, she ]
bound by the constitution of the u S.; and Missouri
being one of the great sister family of States, is
titled to all the rights and privileges of the orgna
States, from all tie other States in the Union.
Reserving the further discussion of this point O
arrest of Judgment, provided judgment should 60 70

the put at issue, and is now ready for ria
