New YoRK SENTlMLNT.-The Dun
kirk Journal, in reply to the remark of
the Buffalo Express. that Mr.. Fillmore
is weak in New York State, which re-
mark is quoted by the opposition pres
SEES, says:
''lf it should so happen that this
"weak" candidate should be put on the
course by the wings, we opine they
will learn that they have counselled
with a false prophet"
The same paper in true Wing spirit
says:
"Our preference for Webster or Fill
more does not lead us to proclaim to the
opposition. with spirit of eXultaton,
that Scott cannot carry the State, if he
gets the nomination. II the " higs do
their duty there is no reason why New
York should not cast her vote for the
nominee, be he Fillmore, Webster,
Scott, or either one Of score of long
tried Wings, which the convention
might name"

article in defence of Mr.. Fillmore az
follows:

MlssING.--We regret to state that
Mr.. john Gra>on; sou of EX-Gov. Gra-
son, formerly a lawyer III this town and
lately commission merchant in Balti-
more, has been missing since Tuesday
Goth March. The Bait. Sun of Wed
nesday says, he left his boarding house
about 4 o'clock =. A., on the above ma
med day, having his overcoat on but
took no clothes or baggage with him.
From his previous indispoSltion and the
circumstances attending his departure,
there is reason to fear that he was not
aware Of what he was doing and that
he took passage in the cars OF some YES
sci or wandered into the country, not
knowing where he was going.
We cut the above from the Centre
Vile Times of last week. Since that
time, the friends Of Mr.. Grason have
been on the search for him. HIS broth
er, Mir. James p. Grason, discovered his
handwriting at one OF the hotels in
Norfolk few days since, under an as
sumed name, but failed to trace him
any farther.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. Our thanks are due
to the Hon. VIM. II. Seward, Of N. Y, for a
copy OF his speech, OH the proposed protest of
the United States against armed Intervention
OF Russia in the Hungarian revolution, deliv-
cred in the T.. s. Senate, March 8, 1852.
From Jacob b. Ash, Esq, formerly of this
town We have copy Of the 81. Louis Duify
Ersning Onion.
To Mr.. Ricketts,. of the House ofDelcgates,
we arc indebted for copy ofthe Act TO provide
for the incorporation of Moral, Literary, Char.
liable and other societies. Lodges Ct Odd Eel
lows, Divisions Of Sons of Temperance, and all
similar institutions, desiring to be Incorporated,
must make application TO the Judge Of the Cir
cult Court Of lhc judicial district in " hich they
are situated. The best time to make such APP
plicalion would be, about two months previous
TO the siltines of the Circuit Court.
We have also received from Mr. Ricketts,, a
copy OF the bill reported 10 the House of Dele
gates, TO provide for the es,abli. hmcn, of a
General System Of Education, throughout the
State. When an object of this Kind is talked
olive naturally look for the means by which it
il TO be effected. The Bill before Us provides,
that the County Commissioners shall levy tax
upon the taxable property Of the cornry to de-
fray great part of the expenses of tie schools
within It's limits. Some system ofEducation is
needed to snpcrceed the miserable one now in
use but we doubt if this one meets the ,cants
and necessities ofthe people of Maryland at this
time. We shall print n part Of the bill next
week, as we consider 1t matter in which every
body is interested.

THE STARRY BANNER ON THE NILE.
In the last letter of Bayard Taylor,
written on the Nile, under date of Jan
uary 4, he relates the following incident,
so t'attering to our national pride, showing
that even among semi-barbarians the
American Flag is respected. "This af-
ternoon," he writes, "alter my baggage
was taken on board, and had hoisted
my flag on the America, Gas have ma
med the boat,) the Bey happened to
ride down to the bank. Seeing the
flag, the first American ensign on the
Ethiopian Nile, he ordered fifty Of his
Arnaouts down to the river, and saluted
it with repeated volleys of muskelry.
As | sailed away returned the salute
with my pistols, and the soldiers fired a
parting volley after me for good luck on
the voyage, but so reckIessly that heard
the sharp whistle of the bullets quite
close to the vessel. felt more grateful
to him for his courtesy than for his
kindness TO myself"

CONGRESSIONAL AND LEGISLATIVE
The only important act of the U. S.
Senate, within the past week, has been
TO pass the French Spoliation Bill. The
House has not yet acted upon it. Nari-
Gus petitions have been presented in ia
vor of aiding the Collins line of steam
ers. Considerable debate has taken
place on the Deficiency Bill, and some
amendments concurred in, among them
one appropriating $35O,OOo for a float
ing dry dock at San Francisco; no final
action however, has been taken upon
the Bill.
In the House Of Representatives, the
Public Printing has been temporarily
disposed of by referring it to a select
committee with instructions to report
TO the House by bill or otherwise, what
amendments to said laws may be expe-
dent, in order to insure the faithful
and prompt execution of the printing for
Congress. Discussions upon the Navy
discipline and the Homestead Bills
have occupied the House for several
days past. Mr. McMullen notified the
House that he would offer bill fxing
the annual salary of members of Con-
sress at fifteen hundred dollars.
In the Senate Of Maryland, MIR. Mil
Ter ofthis county reported bill to re-
new the charter of the Chesapeake and
Delaware Railroad Co. A Bill was pas
sed in relation to sales by auction in the
incorporated towns Of Cecil county; we
have not learned what are its provls-
ions. A bill to protect the property of
the wife from the debts of the husband
was ordered to be engrossed On mo-
tion Of Mr.. Williams, all the pending
propositions in relation to homestead
exemption We're referred to Messrs.
Ely, Weber, Longwell, SclIman and

zens of this county to change the ter

the protection of sheep. The Exemp.
ton Bill passed the House on Monday:
IA copy of ii will be found in another

THE OYSTER LAVA case, involv-
ing the constitutlonality Of the Oyster
Law Of 1920 was tried at the late term
oikent county court.
The question was argued at length
by Geo. Aickcrs and Edward A. Moore
Esqs., in favor, and Hon. Z. f. Cham
beers and Jos. A. WicIes Esq, against
the constitutionaIity Of the law of 1920.
On Friday morning upon the meeting
ofthe Court, Judge Hopper delivered
his opinion pronounc!ns the law to be
unconstitutional and roW. We learn
that an appeal will be taken in this case
to higher tribunal.

lmore County; as the States Attorney
insists upon trying the criminal cases, of
which there are great number on the
docket; and sufficient time would not be
left, after they are disposed of, to try
McCreary's case before the session of
Hartford Court.
THE BRIDGE BlLL.-Thursday last
was the day set apart for the ccnsidcra-
ton of this measure in the House of
Delegates. The committee previously
appointed 10 visit the river, and also the
town ofPort Deposit, were to have taken
passage last night. Nothing will of
course be done until that committee
makes its report. No effort will be left
undone by the friends of the Bridge to
effect the passage of the Bill. Iniluen-
tial papers in Philadelphia and Balti-
more are urgingits passage, and petitions
from railroads, and corporations, inter-
ested in the measure, are pouring into
the Legislature. Aside from the feeling
naturally existing among us of Cecil
county toward the citizens of Port De-
post because they are our neighbors,
we have pecuniary interest in the
matter. The taxable property in the
town of Port Deposit amounts to nearly
one hundred thousand dollars, and, as it
is not shown how, the erection of the
Bridge is to create within the bounds of
Cecil county an increas of taxable prop
erty to anything like this amount-most
likely not five hundred dollars-it is
well for US to look where the deficit
created by the decrease in the value of
taxable property in Port Deposit, is to
be made up.
That the erection of a Bridge will Sc
rlous'y injnle the river trade of Port
Deposit none can for moment doubt.
On this river trade depends, in great
measure, the prosperity of Port, and
with its diminution the value of taxable
property there must decrease.
1t may be said we argue from selfish
motives. If it is sel6shness to take care
of the interests of our own county in
preference to those of "soulless corpo-
rations" we plead guilty to the charge.

COLONIZATION,

Both branches ofthe New y ork Legislature
have under consideration measure appropria.
ting $50, 000 payable in two instalments, tc
aid the State Colonization Society in the reno
val of free negroes to Liberia. The proposal is
in accordance with the recommendation OF
Governor Hunt, and may, we hope, be hailed
as the forerunner Of a series Of grants of the
same charactcrby other States.
In Indiana, the friends of colonization have
taken steps to secure the adoption of this poll
cy by the Legislature Of that State, whose re-
cent determination to exclude negroes and mu-
lattoes from her boundaries morally commits
her TO some provision for their relief. Expul-
sion or exclusion will wear an aspect of cruelty
if those so operated against be not provided
with facilities for obtaining homes elsewhere.
The free negroes may have temporary sh
in other parts of the Union, but Liberia CON-
mends itselfas their only proper and enduring
home.-Repubiic.
