IMPORTANT JUDICIAL DECISION. The u s. SUI
preme Court al Washington has decided that the laws
of Massachusetts and New York land we believe other
States have similar aws) imposing tax on alien pass
seDgers coming into their ports, are Unconstitutional
The case was recently argued by Messrs John Davis,
George Ashmun aad John Van Buren, for the constiu>
tionaly of the laws and by Daniel Webster and others
against it.
The law in this State, as well as that of New York
has been in operation number years, and the money
thus procured, large sum- has been mainly devoted 10
sustaining Hospitals for foreign paupers and disabled
sailors. In this Stale the capitaon tax was 81. And
in New York, for the pas five years, 1856 I'll have
been added 10 the Mariners Fund om this source alone
Lattey however, the tax has been paid under protest
by the ship owners, and that part of the amount collect.
ed il not the whole, will probably have 10 be refunded
by the States that their right levy such tax is
denied by the Supreme Court.
II will AT be seen that this decision is of great
importance, involving much money, and breaking up
many port regulations which were regarded as both
necessary and highly salutary.

respected herself, he would respect her
Messrs. Berrien Butler and King spoke in IA

Occasionally, when we remembered how the

the slave marts In Constantinople, and the Shah

hope would spring up that Washington, the re-

times, might at least be elevated to the level of
Tunis and Constantnople.
But it was Pickering hope, and soon went out

SECTIONAL DEMONSTRATION.

The South have again and again, triumphed over the

When the present Congress met, majority OF

Committee by strong vote to report bills ex-
Guiding Slavery expressly from California and

and the District Committee ordered to report

their passage. The Slave-Trade resolution has
been rcconsidered and palsted, the Pacheeo claim
