The Habeas Corpus in Massachusetts,. bill,
entitled an act further to protect personal lib
erty" has been introduced into the Legislature OF
Massachusetts. In every essential particular it
Is like the Vermont act giving the right of APP
peal and trial by jury. The differences are
these:
J. Two Commissioners are to be appointed by
the Governor in each county, whose duty it IS to
use all Lawful! means to protect, defend q procure
the discharge Of every person arrested as flu
gitive slave. Phe Vermont act imposes this
duty upon states attorneys.l
2 County Clerks and Justices of the Peace
are to issue writs Of habeas corpus, returnable 10
the Supreme Court, if in session, or, if not IN
session, to any judge of the Supreme Court.
g. If an appeal is taken, the person in arrest
must give bail III 5000, or be imprisoned to a.
wait trial.
a. The Commissioners are to defray all ex-
penses, and are TO be paid by the state for such
expenses, and also for their own services.

IN authority on The old Bridge Conirorersu-
In giving the opinion of the e. s. Supreme
Court on the Wheeling Bridge case, (which was
adiudged to be nuisance being so built as to
preclude certain steamers from passing,) Judge
Mclean incidentally decided the great legal
point in the Roase's Point Bridge question in f.
ror Of he bridge. lie said
/" If the obstruction be slight as a drar in a
bridge, which would be safe and convenient for
the passage OF vessels, ii could not be REGARDED
as Nuisance, Where proper attention is gwen to
raise the draw on the approach of vessels
Happily, we believe, all controversy is avoid
ed by the Joaf-br'dge at Rouse's Point; never
theless this high authority is worth citing.

iIonaliiy Of the license laws of Massachusetts,

Court has decided that the laws are constitution

another question involving the power of the

ment by the highest Judicial authority, Of the

DEMOCRAlIc sYMpATHTEs.

We find in tire Chicago Democrat of the Doth
ut an article congratulatiug the people Of Chi

nagi CATION Of the river 81 lawrence. WHY tins

Labor and American interests @ no. But a
lr Buchanan, late member of the Canadian
Parliament from Toronto has arrived in Chicago
n order TO establish branch of one of the most
extensive exporting HOUSES in Great Britain
This house has branches throughout Canada and
at New York. Mr.. Buchanan wishes to find sale
for British pig and other iron, tin, copper, BRAN
dy, VINE nd other liquors of foreign growth and
manuiaoilre"
The Democrats have closed the shaft Of almost
every iron mine. end queuched the fire of almost
every forge and furnace in the United States, and
have thrown out of employment thousands ofiron
workers, and rendered useless millions of money
invested IN home manufactures Now We ride
on British iron employ British vessels to import
It, pay British laboreT for manufacturing and
give the profits TO British capitalists
But this Is not enough. Democracy is not
satisfied with destroying the manufacturing Of
IRON but It asks to have this iron brought in Bri-
tish bottoms through the st. Lawrence river,
thereby njuring the carrying trade Of the United
States
The Chicago Democrat says that the Great
Western and Canada Railroad company have Just
barglined for 10000 tuns OF British railway ron
Now IL costs just 81 90 per ton for this Company
to transport this iron from Wales to Chicago ria
the river 81. Lawrence. The transportation of
this iron to New York Is $500 per ton, aud from
New York to hicego $500. Thus there would
be a saving of 100000 on the transportation Of
these 10000 tons TO Chicago
he Wings say that tins 10000 tons of iron
should be melted out of American ore. BY the heat
of American coal, rolled in American mills. and
that American aborers be paid for The work ex-
pended 10 It's manufacture. The Democracy say
No, let US raise the wheat, and let Great Britain
make the iron &c, and we will pay British yes
sells for bringing it to US, they taking our wheat
exchange
Great Britain says to Canada, we cannot take
your surplus produce, therefore open reciprocal
trade with your Republican neighbors, and thus
allow oW manufactures, and your produce to 90
into American markets Great Britain has a
Ministry in favor of closing her markets against
the importation of foreign grain. What will the
Western farmers say to that? You send for
British iron and other manufactures, and, as your
flour Is not ow taken by the British at remuner-
atng prices, YOU must pay for your imporiatlons,
IN money The consequence IS, the West is
drained of money, and IS dong nothing to build
up home manufactures, and home interests
And yet the Chicago Democrat says il IS "a glori-

WASHINGTON CRY, Aug. 9.

The announcement Of the death Of Hon. Ro-
Aert Rantoul took most Of our citizens by sur
pyise, on Yesterday morning. Few were aware
Of his illness, and his death was wholly unex-
pec,ed, even by his wife, IL hours previous to
bis exit. Truly, in the midst ofliie we are IN
death.
The probable re election Of Gov. Reid, of
North Carolina, has considerably dampensd
the spirits OF the Wings hereabos,s, while the
Democrats rejoice over the result, and claim
The State for Pierce and King ia November.
l have been unable to ascertain for what
particular purpose the Senate Committee, with
Gen Houston at its head, ito investigate GER
tain frauds and corruptons alleged to exist in
and on the departments Of the Government,l
vas appointed. Specific charges have not yet
been made, and what these frauds and cOrrup.
tons are, no one seems fully to understand.-
Gen. Houston. however, seems to have scented
ont some fragrant abuses, and asked and OBJ
ssiued power to send for persons and papers,
Ii is said rich, and perhaps painful, develop
nents will ere long be made, duplicating in
their criminality those who are least suspected
Of peculating on the public treasury. We
Trust the whole truth may come out, let the
blow fall where it may.
Owing to the unprecedented high prices OF
provisions of every kind, and the exorbitant
mites of rentin Washington, the Clerks in the
several executive departments have petitioned
Congress for an increase Of 90 per CT. on their
salaries. l learn, to day, that these gentlemen
ere quite sanguine Of success, as, so far, they
have every reason to believe that Congress is
hvosably disposed in the premises. think l
may safely say, thai in no section Of the coun-
Try exists a more meritorious or talented body
Of inen than the clerical corps in Washington |;
snd, with few exceptions, they are poorly re-
Danerated for their services.
lndisposition and absence from the city
must be your correspondents apology for his
long silence. HENRICo.
