The Late Commodore Warrington.

We find the following obituary notice of Com
modore WARRINGToN in the Norfolk Beacon of the
l4th Instant
"The lamented subject of this notice has died full
of years and full of honors leaving to the contem.
plation of his numerous friends the prestige of q
we'll spent life, with the proud assurance that no
tribute to his worth can exceed his merits.
entering the navy in early life, and at period
In its history when vigilance and courage in the
war with France were necessary to its rising
fame, nc soon acquired an enviable reputation as
an officer of superior professional endowments.
Following the navy to the theatre Of its fame in
the war with Trpoli, he was not less distinguished
in every movement and event which, in that cele-
brated contest, added TO the honor Of his countrys
flag. Nor did his lucky star desert him in the war
of 1912, when, after brilliant cruises in the English
Channel and East Indies, he added an imperish-
able chaplet TO the wreath of his fame in the cap
ture of the Epervier. Prompt in obedience to or
ders, uniaitering In every duty appropriate TO his
rank. and firm but temperate and just in enforc-
ing discipline, every service he was called on to
perform was brought TO a successful issue and he
has passed through all the grades of his profession
to its highest rank and honors, and all the vicissi-
tudes and hardships of seaman's life, without a
stain upon his character.
''ro the young officer Commodore WARRINaroN
was model for imitation in all the duties and ele-
gancies of his profession, encouraging by precept
and enforcing by example, habits of economy,
obedience to orders, submission to rank, and law
full resistance to oppression In the war of IA,
when, while in command of the Peacock, the Sec
rotary of the Navy sent him orders, through Com
modore DECATUR, to proceed to the Mediterranean,
that distinguished commander replied IF any OFF,
Ger can successfully perform so hazardous a cruise
it is Captain WARRINGToN,' Butso inconsiderate
an order was not enforced, and the Peacock was
destined to achieve her fame upon our own coast.
"To the hardy tar and truehcarted sailor Com
modore w. was ever friend indeed and friend
in need. No sailor under his command ever APP
pealed to him in vain for redress against ap un Just
grievance or petty persecution The sailors ri ghts
and privileges he would insure to him with the
same punctilious scrupulousness that he would an
officers; and wo to the young officer who dared to
tritle with Jacks prerogatves when WARRINaToN
had pronounced upon their justice
'This Is a brief tribute to the memory of the gal
liant officer whose loss the navy and the country
are called on to deplore; and the occurrence may
well excite their sorrow"

seek to create divisions and jealousies in the
VINO ranks in relation to the Presidency, and
IN this connexIon misrepresent the position of

who have had the opportunity of knowing the
sentiments of Mr. FILLMORE on this subject.
from the time of his accession to the office
which he now holds, should render him an ACT
Of simple justice by statement which is sus-
tanned by the whole tenor Of his public conduct
On assuming the Presidency, Mr. FILL
MORE adopted as rule Of policy that
his Administration should be carried on with
a single reference 10 the public good. He
was resolved, in spite of all local prejudices,
and Of all consequences personal to himself,
that the constitutional and legal rights of every
portion of the Union should be maintain
ed; that the laws should be executed with
out parilality 10 sections OF individuals; that
the honor and good faith Of the country should
be maintained invioatc; no matter what tenn
porary unpopularty it might bring upon the
Administration, and without regard 20 the in
huence which such course might exercise on
the question of the successorship He was re-
solved, in fine, that his Administration should
be conducted on the most elevated principles of
public duty; that the offices should be filled
with the men best qualified to discharge
their functions; and that the patronage
and facilities of the Government should be EN-
ployed only for the honor and advantage Of the
country, irrespective of the personal or politi-
cal interests of any individual, either within or
without the Administration To this policy,
adopted at the outset Of his career, Mr.. FILL
MORE has iniexibly adhered, and we doubt

TREAsoN.-Thc New York Tribune thinks that
the indictment of the negroes engaged in the
Christiana outrage for treason " sadly bellies the
definition of that great crime,' inasmuch as it is
not credible that any Of the negroes chad any
thought of dethroning the President, scattering
the Cabinet, and usurping Federal powers" And
yet some such purpose this, il argues, seems
" essential to the idea usually entertained of levy
ing arms against the Government Of the United
States" An idea usually entertained" may be
a very erroneous The Constitution of the
United States makes the Supreme Court the judge
Of the law in this case and that tribunal is doubt
less quite as competent as any newspaper editor in
the country to decide as to what is treason The
Tribunes argument that the negroes could not he
guilty of the crime, because they cannot be sup.
posed capable of entertaining designs against Gov
ernment, will not serve. A man who has never
heard of the crime of arson may nevertheless le-
galy subject himself to the penalty. Law, like
Nature, is very apt to make no dispensation in be-
half of ignorance Boston Transcript

The President and the Laws.

The Buffalo Commercial advertiser copies
from the New York Herald paragraph in re
lation to the christina outrage, which has
been so generally circulated that it should be
corrected The paragraph appears in letter
from Washington
at is understood that the President has been as
prompt and decided with reference to the Syracuse
outrage as he has shown himself in regard to ths
Christians tragedy. In both instances he has
called on the officers of the United S ates to
that the laws fully and properly executed. 1t
is impossible always to prevent sudden violation Of
the law but, by holding the delinquens to strict
accountability, such outrages will become much
less frequent. This the President is determined to
do; and, in thus fulfilling his solemn obligations,
he will not be inundated by fanatics, matter
where their habitation IA the President of the
United States, Mr.. Fillmore knows but one duty
loyalty to the Union and its laws. He has now
sent instr tons to arrest and commit all the par
ties in the Syracuse affair the charge of high
treason
The instructions referred to in the above
paragraph did not undertake to define the le-
gal nature of the offences committed at syria
cuse or Christiana. They were explicit and
distinct to the point, that all infractlons that
had been committed of the laws of the United
States must be prosecuted with the utmost dill
igence but it was no part of the PRESIDENTS
duty to indicate the legal character of the out
RACES in question: or to direct the district ator-
ney or the grand jury in the discharge of their
respective functions.
And while ON this subject we may as well
correct another misrepresentation with regard to
the duties of the President. We see the
question gravely asked how it is that the PRE-
sIDEST will busy himself about the violations
of the law at Syracuse and Chrstana, when
he takes no notice of the executions under
Lynch law in San Francisco, or of mobs in
North Carolina and Alabama, or of the outrage
on the Spanish Consul in New Orleans. Many
ton taken by the gentlemen who ask these
questions; questions which are sometimes put
from pure innocence and ignorance, and some
times from pure mischief, and desire to find
fault with the EXECUTIVE.
The PRESIDENT is sworn to execute the
laws of the United States, and those only. If
men commit murders, or stimulate mobs, or
burn houses, or commit any other acts OF VIC
lence which do not fall within the laws of the
United States, the PRESIDENT has as much to
do with them as any other individual, and no
more. The illegal executions at San Francis
co, the anti-rent murders, the infamous out
RACES on the Spanish Consul at New Orleans,
all these matters are of State or municipal cog
nizance, offences against the local laws, with
which the Federal Government and of course
the PRESIDENT can have no control There is
difficulty in making the pecuiarities of our
form of Government Ineligible even to well
educated foreigners, but we are surprised that
any American citizen should fail to recognise
the distinctions to which we have adverted.
