senator Chase ON th. The.trical pe.rd.

The Toledo (Ohio) Blade, Of the 3lst of May.
gives an amusing account of Mr.. Chase's first ap.
pearance upon the boards of the theatre at Toledo
lnrgc and enthusiastic crowd was expected TO
greet his appearance at the theatre; but according
to the Blade, neither boxes pit were half full,
and therefore the actor played to empty benches.
That journal says it took the pains to count those
in the gallery and pit, in the first Of which there
was the number of one hundred and fifty-on all
told. and in the pit not moro than seventy fiye
Continues tho Blade:
"Senator Chaseno W madehis appearance upon the
stage, followed by Judge Spalding, who was to
hgure in the farce, after the main play was con.
cluded.
Sin few moments the performance commenc-
cd and truth to say, for two mortal hours we en-
dured the prosy outpourings Of Senator Chase
upon the subject of compromise. great simi-
!arity in his performance and that Of Madame
Ranks was soon made manifest, for when he sat
down he had not by twenty so many hearers in
the boxes as when he began. We shall attempt
no description OF his speech or of his manner
His admirers will attend TO both. Suffice il to
say that It was more meritorious a logical than
as an eloquent effort. The Senator is a man
OF close thinking and good deal of shrewdncss
though he claimed at the commencement to be
nothing more than sunpractised politician
FOR one who assumes to be 30 green, he has
got tolerabIy well up the ladder Of promotion.
he denounced all parts Of the compromise,
and attempted to prove, but, we think, very
nnsuccessfully, the unconstitutionality of the
Fugitive law. He said that the clause in the Con,
stituton providing for the restoration of persons
held TO service, was made between the States,
which were to get rid OF slavery soon as possible
and only to be protected while thus engaged Ergo.
any law on the subject at this day was unconsstu-
tional. He denied the right Of Congress to legis-
late on the subject Of slavery, and said that the
provisions Of the Fugitive law ought not to be
obeyed. His speech was q reteration Of the aame
old speech upon which he rode into the Senatorial
office"
The distinguished Senator also announced his
intention, as the Blade understood him, of going
to Russia to commence a crusade against slavery
and serfdom there, as soon as he had succeeded in
putting it down in this country.

IPREsrpENT FILLMoRE's MESSAGE.
.sThe Presidents message, at the opening ofthe
present session of Congress, expresses fully and
plainly his own and the unanimous opinion OF all
those asses lated with him in the Executive admin
istration Of the Government, in regard to what
are called the Adjustment or Compromise mea-
sures of last session. That opinion is, that those
measures should be regarded in principle as
"a final settlement of the dangerous and exciting
subjects which thoAembracc; that though they
were not free from imperfecuons, yet, in their
mutual dependence and connexion, they formed
system of S1npromise the most concilatory
and best for Che entire country that could be OBJ
tanned from conflicting sectional interest and
Opinions, and tnat tnerelore tuey SnOulu DC du-

smonslrate the necessity of further Legislation to
guard against evasion or abuse. That opinion, so
{ ia- as know, remains entirely unchanged, and
'will be acted upon steadily and decisively. The
peace of the country requires this the security OF
the Constitution requires this; and every conside-
I, ration of the public good demands this. If the
Administration cannot stand upon the principles
ofthe message, it does not expect to stand at ALL

learned Judge therefore held that foreigner, by
publishing his work in Great Britain, acquired no
copyright. If these premises sound, the infer
ence drawn from them is incontrovertible, that a
British subject who purchases from q foreigner
such right as he had in his own country, cannot
be in better condition here than the foreigner
would have been himself. But, with great
Difference to an opinion SO expressed, we gee 20
sufficient reason for thinking that it was the
intention Of the Legislature to exclude for
eigners from the benefit of the statutes. The
British Parliament has power, and cannot
be supposed to intend to egislate for aliens beyond
the British territory; but within that territory it
has the power, and, as we conceive, the general
words must be presumed to do So The monopoly
which the statutes conferred is to be enjoyed here
and the conditions which they require for enjoy
ment are to be presumed hero. What is there to

i'll become US to offer opinions upon the policy Of

but looking at the statutes, VIC may, without i'm
propricy, observe, that it has been the uniform pol

duced dandcarried on bye Caxton in tho tnc ofEdward
w., when act passed to restrain Foreigners from
carrying on trade here provision added, by
section II, that that act should not extend to pre-
vent any trader, of whatever nation he might be,
from bringing into this country any books, written
or printed. The question really is. whether for
eigner. by sending to publisher his work here,
quires copyright. Upon this depends his right
to transfer his right to another. Iis admitted that
foreigner, If he comroscs a literary work here,
may acquire copyright; and Mr.. Peacock would
not deny that if n foreigner, being here for tenn

Mr. CALHOUN.-Th Southern Press at
Washington City, give full and doubtless
an authentic explanation of the circumstan-
cos under which the sum of about thirty
thousand dollars, raised for the late Mr.. Cal
houn by his admirers and friends, was be-
slowed upon his widow The newspaper re-
ports have stated it as a part of a larger con
tribution designed to relieve him of pecunia-
~ embarrassment, and enable him to recruit
his shattered health by voyage to Europe.
The Press says that it was a mistake to sup
pose that either Mr.. Calhoun or his estate
were embarrassed. At the time of his death
his property was worth one hundred and fifty
thousand dollars, and his debt about twenty
five thousand. On his death his widow was
amply provided for by her children, who re-
leased to her in fee simple the Fort Hill
estate, which was ample for her support in
all the luxuries Of life.
Before Mr.. Calhouns death number of
his friends did propose to raise the sum of
sixty to eighty thousand dollars for a pres
ont to him, to enable him to visit Europe
and particularly the countries on the Medit-
erancan, for his health. Mr.. Calhoun re-
fused to accept the gift. AT his death, thir-
ty thousand dollars, which had been sob
seribed and paid, remained unappropriated.
twas offered successfully to each of the four
sons Of MIR. Calhoun, and refused byeach.-
1t was finally forwarded to the widow, stating
the origin, and that, being from various con
tributors, and some unknown, it could not
be returned without serious Inconvenience
Under these circumstances Mrs. Calhoun ac-
cepted the gift, and with perfect propriety,
without impugning her own disinterestedness
or dclicacy, or thoseof any of her family, or
Of her deceased husband
