constitutional, Is a leyying war against the
United States, within the Constitution. -
In his charge to the grand jury of the cir
cult court Of the United States, holden at
Newport, for the Rhode Island district, in
June l842, Mr.. Justice SroRY disposes effec-
tually of the idea " usually entertained" that
there can be no Z" levying war" without de-
sign of " dethroning the President or " up
setting the Constitution" or " subverting the
government" 90 In respect to the reasonable
design" said this distinguished jurist, +" il is
not necessary that it should be a direct and
positive intention entirely to subyert or over
throw the Government. II lciH be equally
treason if the intention is by force to preoent
the execution Of any one or more general and
public lacs Of the Gosernmsnt, or to resist
the exercise of any legitimate authority of the
Government in its sovereign capacity. Thus,
if there is an assembly of persons with force,
with an intent TO prevent the collection of the
lawful taxes or duties levied by the Govern
mentor to destroy all custom-houses, or to
resist the administration of justice in the
courts of the United States, and they proceed
to execute their purpose by force, there can
be no.doubt that it would be treason against
the United States"
The same doctrine is laid down by the SUI
preme Court, in EG parte BolLnan, where the
CHIEF JUSTICE not only cites with appreciation
the opinion Of Judge CHASE, but adds, that if
body of men be actually assembled for the
purpose of effecting by force reasonable pur-
pose, all those who perform any part, however
minute OF however remote from the scene Of
action. and who are actually ieagued in the
general conspiracy, are to be considered trail
tors. But there must be an actual assem-
bling of men for the reasonable purpose to
constitute levying of war"
With due submission to the Times, we ap-
prehend that it will be safer to learn the law of
the land from PATTERSON, IREDELL, PETERS,
CHASE, MARSHALL, and Story, and the
judgments of the courts, than from the cor
respondence of candidates for public office
The law of the courts will probably be more
relied upon by the members of the present Su-
preme Bench than the law of the hustings. or
any manner or form of ''higher law" with
which they may be made acquainted.

speech OF MIR. Curtis.

We mentioned yesterday the nomination of
B. r. CURTIS, esq. Of Boston, TO fill the va
cancy created in the Supreme Court of the
United States by the decease Of Mr. Justice
WOODBURY.. Mr.. CURTIS is young man, be-
ing only about forty years of age; but such is his
professional reputation, that there can be but
one opinion among the members of the bar as
to the propriety of his selection for this emf
nent position He has taken no very ac-
tive part in political affairs, but has been al
ways decided and consistent VINO. AT
the Constitutional meeting held last autumn
in Faneuil Hall, he appeared on one of the few
occasions in which he has ventured from the
path of his professon--and his speech before
that meeting, as explanatory of his views on
the constitutional obligations of the States with
regard to the rendition of fugitives from labor,
we deem of sufficient interest and importance
to call for its republication.

We learn that the Postmaster General has
ordered a contract with Mr.. HENRY SKILL
MAN, of Ell Paso, Texas, for the regular trans
portation of the mails from Santa Fe, New
Mexico, by albuquerque, Socorra, Don Ana,
Fronteras, FL Paso, San Elizario, and Leona,
to San Antonio, distance of nine hundred and
ninety miles. The service is to be performed
once month as far as San Elizario. and once
in two months for the residue of the distance.
The arrangement will be brought into opera
ton on the LIST Of November, and will be regu-
lated by the following schedule:
Leave Santa Fe OH the first of each month at
8 a. m; arrive at San Elizario by the 18th at
IL m. Leave San Elizario on the 18th Of
every other month at 8 a. m. arrive at San
Antonio by P. m. the last day of the same

Elizario by IL m. of the 18th. Leave San
Elizario on the Goth of each month at a. m /;
arrive at Santa Fe BY p. m. of the last day Of
the same month.
For this arrangement the Post Office De-
partment will receive the thanks of the resi-
dents in Western Texas and New Mexico, and
of all who have personal or mercantile inter
course with those sections of the continent, from
which we have hitherto heard only at long and
irregular intervals.

Gold I'm New sonth Wales.

Intelligence from New South Wales, received
via San Francisco, confirms the tidings which
have been received in reference TO the existence of
quantities OF precious metals in that colony. Mr..
Stuckbury, the government geoogist, has made a
report, bearing out the most highly colored repre-
sentations; supplementary to which is q procla-
nation by Governor Fitzroy, declaring that all
persons who shall take gold within lands not alien
ated by the crown, will be prosecuted, criminally
and civilly.
In the county OF Bathurst placer has been
opened, and extensive gold washing operations
have been commenced.
The Empire newspaper, dated Sydney, May 20,
furnishes the following statement of gentleman
who visited the scene of operations:
"In the creek called Ophir, we found located
down the creek, from 500 to 700 people, divided
into parties of from three TO eight EACH busy in dry
digging also washing the earth from the banks of
the creek; in all instances procuring, by means
of grading and washing, more or less gold duet,
many picking Jumps Of gold about one foot from
the surface. Some had been very successful, 9TH
ers obtained only small quantities; met with Mr..
Piper, who had just opened bed of soft slate;
stood watching him gather from crevces several
small pieces Of gold, and one piece weighed !.
ounces; also, two pieces of about half an ounce
each; removed the dirt from the large piece and
took il as a specimen, which | now have in my
possession. Mr. Hawkinss party produced sew
eral pleCCeJ varying IN size from one elGhth OF an
ounce to an ounce in weight, and the average of
this day's work, by the quantities seen by myself
and MIR. Hargraves, was fully half an ounce a
man"
A postscript in the same paper gives few fur
thcr particulars:
"The accounts by the mail this morning are in
high degree confrmatory OF the previous state
ments al to the discovery of rich and extensive
gold field in the Wellington district, the prolific
character Of which can at present only be guessed
at. Three of the leading jewellers in George street
have received samples of the gold this morning
One sample shown to consisted of about quar-
ter of an ounce and was in small pieces something
like the escaped drops Of melted lead solder
among sand or dirt. The gentleman to whom it
was sent (who has extensively purchased Califor-
mia gold) says that the Bathurst sample is charac
tcrized by the popularity Of having calcined
black dirt ia the irregularities of the Jumps not
found in the California gold, and also pronophces it
70 be OF richer color. Another gentleman, who
also has received a sample, is informed by his
Bathurst correspondent that 81 900 worth Of gold
was brought into Bathurst in one day, and that it
