Death or the Hon. Henry A. Bul,.rd.

1t is with sincere regret that we learn by a
telegraphic despatch from New Orleans that
the Hon. HENRY A. BULLARD, who lately re-
presented the second Congressional district Of
Louisiana in Congress, and who succeeded
Mr. CONRAD to that station, died on the Goth
instant. ~
During the short period in which he was a

most favorable impression.

Kentucky.

The political canvass in this State is going
on with great spirit JOHN B. THOMPSON, the
Vino candidate for the Office Of lieutenant
governor, has made appointments to address the
people every day Sundays excepted) from the
18th of April to the 9th of May. On the 18th
instant he addressed the citizens of Garrard at
Lancaster for some three hours, during the
whole time commanding the attention Of an
immense crowd. The Richmond (Ky.) Chroni-
Gle says that if he can get to every county in the
State, and deliver as able speech in each, he
will take things by storm, and run like light
ming.
On the 7th inst Mr.. THOMPSON addressed
the people of Nelson county. The Bards-
town Herald, of the 10th speaks in glowing
terms of his speech, and says that he created
an impression upon the people who were pre-
sent, and listened to his eloquent appeal. The
Congressional convention that met there on the
same day nominated CLEMENT S. HILL. esq.,,
of Marion county, as the Wing candidate for
Congress. The best of feeling prevailed, and
our friends go into the contest determined to
give our Gubernatorial as well as Congress
sional ticket an old fashioned Wing majority.
In the sixth Congressional district, DR.. J. s.
PIERCE has withdrawn his name as candi-
date, leaving but one WHIa, Colonel ADDISON
WHITE, in possession Of the field. By this act
on the part of DR.. PIERCE it is well said by
the Chronicle that the prospects of the Wines
in the district and the State are frightened,
and that he deserves for it the commentator
of the party, as we'll as its confidence and re-

1.-the Presidents message, at the opening ofthe
present session of Congress, expresses fully and
plainly his own and the unanimous opinion OF all
those associated 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 ia, that those
measures should be regarded in principle as
a final settlement of the dangerous and exciting
subjects which they embrace; that though they
were not free from imperiections, yet, in their
mutual dependence and connection, they formed
a system of compromise the most conciliatory
and beat for the entire country that could be OBJ
tanned from conflicting sectional interest and
opinions, and that therefore they should be ad
hered to, until time and experience should de-
monstrate the necessity Of further legislation to
guard against evasion or abuse. That opinion, SO
far as know, remains entirely unchanged, and
will be acted upon steadily and decisively. The
peace of the country requires this; the security OF
sthe Constitution requires this and every conside
ration of the public good demands this. If the
Administration cannot stand upon the principles

eve regret to announce the death of GsoRo =
ScHLEY, esq, of this city. He expired ut his resi-
depce at Z O'Clock yesterday morning. Had be
lived till the month OF May he would have attained
to the age Of sixty years. He has passed away
from the scene Of his labors leaving an honorable
reputation, graced by the recollection of all the
amenities Of social life, and Of much efficient pub
lie service.
s'The deceased was born in the State of Mary
land, but has spent the greater part of his life in
the State Of Georgia. In 1926 he was appointed
postmaster of this city by John Quincy Adams
He has remained in that Office continuously up Il
tho time Of HE death, having seen in these twenty
six years seven Presidents pass out of Office. We

ties as postmaster here on the lst day OF July,

FURrHsa ARRAIoNMErT OF The ALLEGED RES
cuERs OF "SHADRAcH."-In the United States dis
trict court, Judge Sprague,) this morning. Elizur
Wright, Joseph X. Hayes, Robert Morris. Lewis
Hayden and John Scott, recently arraigned on in
dictments containing fifteen counts each, charging
them with aiding and abetting in the rescue of
Shadrach, the fugitive slave, were further
raigned on a new count which hns been added to
their several indictments. tg~ s,.
Thomas p. Smith and John p. Coburn had pre-
vious!y answered to the same. All the parties
pleaded not guilty, az in the frst instance.
The new count is not framed upon any of tho
provisions Of the Fugitive Slave law but upon theact
which has long been in vogue against rescuing prs-
oners from the custody Of United States marshals.
This will probably o6viste the necessity of going
into the question, at the trials, whether Shadrach
was slave or not, and consequently whether
not be was legally in custody. &c.
The commencement Of the trials, as we have be-
fore stated, has been postponed till the 9th Of
May. This was done for the accommodation and
at the request Of the counsel for defence.

under the following circumstances: He had NOT
had an observation the day previous was stand
ing to the southwark and eastward, when his mate
camc below and reported green water. He went
on deck, and saw that they were evidently in
shoal water for a mile around the ship. Before he
could get cast of the lead they passed into blue
water. He then hove the log carefully himself
every half hour until meridian. getting good chro-
nometer sights and good meridian observation;
when, by working back, he found he had passed
directly over the shoal above mentioned. His chro-
nometer he had tested at the Cape de Verbs, and
found it correct, when he again made the land; it
was about7 hours 80 minutes a. m. when he passed
over it; the sky perfectly clear. The shoal is
not on Blunt's charts. Captain Sims could not
give me the latitude and longitude oft as he made
it, hope these facts may be Of use to you.

To the Editors:
| am permitted by the Secretary of the Navy
to offer for publication in your valuable journal
an extract Of letter received by me from
Lieut.. B. j. TorrEN, commanding United
States ship Sc Relief" The letter is dated on
board that vessel, 2lst February, 1851
The gale mentioned is one of the most re-
markable of the year, and the information is of
practical value.
Men of science, by studying the history vi
storms, have been enabled to furnish the nav
igator with rules for telling which way they
are travelling, and how to keep out of their way.
The interesting facts communicated by Lieut..
TorTEN afford practical test for these rules.

Mr.. Francis Todd, of Newburyport was
townsman of Garrison's. Garrison says he was
born there; and some persons think il would
have been better, for the peace Of the country,
If he had been still-born there--not that consii-
tutional abolition would be other than great
blessing-but because Garrison's light and lore
has proved such prominent curse.
If one man steal horse, or smuggle hogs

but if, thereupon, another publishes him as
murderer, this malicious libel. The case
think, is not above Garrison's comprehension
Mr.. Todd's agent at Baltimore engaged t.
transport some slaves from Annapolis to New
Orleans in one OF Todd's vessels. Todd
being notified, expressed his regret that such
was the freight, but consented to that which
he could not then prevent. However digust
ing, this was lawful. II was neither piracy MOI
