SUPREMACY or THE LAws-It has been the pride
and boast OF Wings that theirs party Of law and
order. recognising no higher political law than the
Constitution, and having sympathy con-
nexion with men who counsel resistance to the
laws of the land Whatever may be the profes-
sions Of those who act themselves up believers in
higher political law than the Constitution, and
ayow their readiness TO disregard and nulify laws
which are not in accordance with their own views
and feelings, not entitled to the appellation Of
Wings, and cannot justly claim the honor Of that
name. Wings, true and genuine Whigs, are
lovers Of law and order, and ever ready to
frown down resistance TO the execution Of the
laws, be they good or bad, popular or unpopular.
Such Wing is Willard Fillmore, and such
Wings are Messrs Webster, Corwin Crittenden,
Stuart, Conrad, Graham, and Hall, the members
of his Cabinet. Those who now preach treason
under the deusive idea that there is a higher law
than the Constitution, 10 which they owe alegi-
ance as citizens will meet with no countcnance or
favor from the present National Administration.
President Fillmore and his constitutional advisers
arc Wings after the fashion of Washington. They
know their duty 10 the country, and to the Const-
tuition which they have sworn TO support, and pos
sess the courage and patriotism to doll They gave
unmistakable evidences of their determination to
sustain, Mt every hazard the Constitution and laws
when treason n few months since reared ts hidoous
form in Texas. II must not and cannot he sup
posed that now, when treason stalks abroad in an
other section of the Union that they will be less
prompt and energetic in maintaining the SUI
prcmacy OF the laws than they then.

greeted with frequent rounds of applause, and
the meeting altogether was quite suspicious for
the future success of the Wings of California,
who have hitherto been almost quiescent under
LocOfoco rule.
The election was To come off on the 9Th Of
October, when an attorney general, clerk OF
superior court, superintendent of public instruc-
ton, five assemblymen, Judge of the superior
court, district attorney, and harbor- master,
were to be elected in that precinct.

Among the fortunate results of the late cleo

JAMES Books over both his opponents, by a
majority Of 1876 votes. We annex the details
with the remark, that Mr. BLUNT is we'll

as candidate against Mr.. Brooks expressly
on the ground of his objections to that gentle
mans course on the Texan bill and the Fugi-
as a serious demonstration, though many per
Suns in the first instance regarded ii as mere
piece of pleasantly. Mr.. BLuNT's vote is more
than the whole strength OF the Wing party in
his district opposed TO these measures; for many

McDoNoGH's WLL.-The Baltimore 44merican
states that the Hon. Reverdy Johnson, who is one

McDonogh, left for New Orleans on Wednesday,
by the western route.
Speaking of the property of the deceased million
aire, the New Orleans Delta says:
'To give some idea OF the extent of his suburban
property, may state that he owned three hun
dred squares in the of Livaudas, eleven
squares in the of the Second Municipality, at
the foot of Poydras street, and 5000 lots in the
rear of the First and Third municipalities. He

and lots. This is part Of his suburban property.
In addition TO this, he has productive property in
the city which yields an annual revenue of two
hundred thousand dollars. He owns, too, large
tracts of very valuable land in every parish of the
State, to say nothing of immense possessions in the
adjoining States.''
The Mobile Tribune has the following letter.
dated
"NEw ORLEANS Oct. 80.
''Thc all-absorbing topic with us is the will Of
the late John McDonogh. The prevailing opinion
with the legal fraternity is that the dispositions in
favor OF free schools will be set aside, in
quence OF the entailment or perpetuity of the
tate which Is directed to take place in favor of such
free schools and that, therefore, the States of Lou
isiana and Maryland will take the whole property,
under the alternative disposition whereby they are
made devisecs in the event of the legality Of the
before mentioned legacies."
