faithfully carried into execution by the power and
authority of the new Government.
In fact, when the Constitution was adopted, the
settlement Of that vast territory was hardly be-
gun and the people who filed il, and formed the
great and populous States that now cover IT, be-
came inhabitants or the territory after the Con-
sttution was adopted and mig -ated upon the faith
that its protection and benefits would be extended
to them, and that they would Ia due time, accord
ing to its provisions and spirit, be admitted into
the Union upon an equal footing with the old
States For the new Government secured to them
| all the public rights Of navigation and commerce
which the Ordinance did or could provide for ;
| and. moreover, extended to them, when they
should become States, much greater power over
their municipal regulations and domestic concerns
than tho Confederation had agreed TO concede.
The six articles said to be perpetual as compact
are not made part Of the new Constitution.
| They certainly are not superior and paramount
| to the Constitution, and cannot confer power and
| jurisdiction upon this Court The whole judicial
authority of the Courts Of the United States is
derived from the Constitution itself, and the laws
made under it.
II Ia undoubtedly true that most Of the material
provisions and principles Of these six articles not
| inconsistent with the Constitution of the United
States. have been the established law within this
Territory ever since the Ordinance was passed ;
and hence the Ordinance itselfis sometimes spoken
of as still 10 force But these provisions owed
their legal validity and force after tine Constitu-
ton was adopted and while their Territorial
Government continued; to the act OF Congress OF
August 7, 1859, which adopted and continued the
Ordinance Of 1857, and carried its provisions into
execution with some notifications which were
necessary to adapt its form Of Government to
the new Constitution. And in the States since
formed in the territory, these provisions, 80 far ss
they have been preserved, owe their validity and
authority to the Constitution Of the United States
and the Constitution and laws Of the respective
States, and not to the authority of the Ordinance
of the old Confederation. As we have already
said it ceased to be in force upon the adoption OF
the Constitutions, and cannot now be the source
Of jurisdiction of any description in this Court
In every view of the subject, therefore, this
Court has no jurisdiction over the case, and the
writ of error must On that ground be dismissed.

The Louisville Courier processes to learn
from a private source, in which implicit con
fdenee can be placed, that contract has been
concluded and executed between the above
company and Mr.. Seymour and his associates
in the State Of New York, for the eonstruc-
ton Of the entire length Of road from Gin
Icinnai to Illinoistown, opposite ST. Louis.
The Courier says:
The importance Of this read does not aa-
nit of a question, and the company have
certainly been most fortunate in being able
to contract at once for its entire completion
with firm or association whose ability to
fulfill their engagements is said to be beyond
dispute. Illinois and Indiana will derive
almost incaleulable advantage from this road,
while Cincinnati viii share largely ofiis bene-
1 fits, as the terminus of the great thorougnfsre
on the Ohio river These great strides Of
our sister States towards annihilatingd distance,
by means ofthe iron-horse, should stimulate
i US, as well as Tennessee, to push forward our
! railroad projects with renewed energy and a
more determined spirit. The construction
of railroads IS no longer debatable question
i of policy, but the State that would preserve
j her prosperity, and secure herfuture progress
IN comparative ratio with her sister States,
must embark in similar enterprise from ne
lcessity. And while We congratulate the
friends of the abover road in their success, at

A Sharp Retort.

A correspondent of the N. Y. Herald re-
lates thatduring the recent great fair at Roch-
ester, a number of gentlemen met at a din
ner party there, and among the galaxy Of
bright particular stars was the distinguished
orator Of the day, Stephen A. Douglas, and
the distinguished ex-Secretary of War, Gov.
Marcy. The wit. and the wine few apace;
and, at length Gov. Marcy, With one of
those knowing looks of HIS, arose and pro-
posed "the health Of Mr.. Douglas, the able
Senator from nlinois-may he continue for
the next six years tofilI his place in the Sem
ate, Bhiel. he has already so much graced. :"
The meaning of the sally was evident, and
Marcy eyes twinkled with satisfaction at tho
shit" Nowisc abashed, however, "the little
giant" Strengthened himself out, and afterre-
turning thanks, concluded by giving, "the
distinguished ex-Seeretary of War, Gov.
Marcy, with not a spot on his character. and
but one patch on his breeehes." Pesls Of
laughter succeeded the happy retort, shortly
after which the Governor was missing.

Methodist Church case recently decided BY

controversy which led to the suit which has
Just been decided At the General Confer

because he had married a lady who owned

The southern members of the General con-

and declaration that the interests of the
Church in the slaveholding States demanded
aseparation This matter was referred to a
committee with Instructions, that if they
could not devise plan e adjust the dihcul-

Destruction of Whale Ship by a Sperm
Whale.

We have just received the following thrill
ing account of the destruction of the whale
ship Ann Alexander, Capt John S. Deblois,
of New Bedford, by large sperm whale,
from the lips of the captain himself, who arr
rived in this city from Paita on Sunday last,
in the schooner Providence. A similar cir
Icumstance has never been known to occur but
once in the whole history Of whale fishing,
land that was the destructionof the ship Is
lsex, some 20 OTIS years ago, and which ma
my Of curreaders fully remember, We pro-
Iceec to the narrative as furnished us by Capt.
Deblois, and which is fully Authenticated by
nine Of the crew In a protest under the seal
of the U. S. Consul, Alex. Ridden, Jr,, at
Paita
The ship Ann Alexander, Capt. is. De-
blois, sailed from New Bedford, Mass, June
lst, 1850, for a cruise in the South Pacific
for sperm whale. Having taken about FIVE
hundred barrels of oil in the Atlantic, the
:, ship proceededed on her voyage to the Pacif-
lie. Nothing Of unusual interest occurred,
until when passing Cape Horn, one Of the
N. H., was lost overboardinastorm. Reach
ing the acme, sue come up lile coast anu
stopped at aldlVla, coast OF Chm, Tor fresh
provisions, and on the 3lst of May last, she
called at Paita, for the purpose of shipping q
man. The vessel proceeded on her voyage te
ie the South Pacific.
