detailed provisions confirm it. The custody OF
the fugitive, by State authority, is almost ior-
hidden.
The Marshal and his suerties arc made sub
icct to pecuniary liability for an escape, which,
as the Supreme Court Of the United States
have decided in precisely analogous case, is
defeated the instant the the prisoner is transferred
to a local Jail.
In counties where there is no Marshal, the
agent of the Commissioner is charged with the
exclusive custody OF the fugitive, and is allow
cd, by the sth section, his expenses for keeping
him in custody, and providing him with food
and lodging during his detention.
Surely no ono can pretend to say, that this is
not a full and exclusive exercise Of federal pow
or on the subject. Ii so, tho principle Of con-
stitutional law, to which have referred, is in
tcrposcd, and the legislation Of State to trans
fer this custody to q local prison is prohibited.
Is it not then most conclusive to peace and good
order, and the harmonious administration of
the law, that this whole subject be left where
the Constitution places it, in the hands OF the
United States authorities.
have thus frankly stated to the Senate my
reasons for Withholding my approval of this
bill. have limited them strictly, guarding
myself against any expression liable to miscon-
struction to considerations Of constitutional

Gentlemen Of The Senate
and of the House Of Representatives 1:
The will of the People has again conferred
upon me the Chief Magistmcy of this State,
and for this renewed expression of kindness
and partially, now tender the acknowl-
edgement of my humble gratitude to each
aud every member Of this general assembly,
as the proper channel through which it may
be conveyed to my constituents. If there is
anything in this life, personal 10 myself that
desire to retain, it is the confidence of my
fellow-c citizens, and amidst the unspeakable
emotion of my bosom, feel assurances that
so long as merited il will not be withheld.
] shall enter on the duties assigned me by
the late election under the new Constitution,
with no vain belief that am equal to the
occasion, but with the hope, confirmed from
what has hitherto occurred, that | shall he

We were marching forward to catasiro-

which scarcely permitted some independent
voices TO make the cry of alarm heard which
France was raising. II those voices had
been heard, if the law of May 3lst had been
repealed, if the revision of the constitution
had been accepted by the minority, if all
the parties had consented TO do what Louis
Napoleon Bonapdrle had just done himself
that is to allow the people to decide-we
are convinced that what has happened
would never have occurred.

Japanese of the luxury and comfort secured to
them by an article in their creed which allowed
to each twelve wives. The Dutch persuaded
the prince that the Portuguese would make
them the slaves of the pops.., For a hundred
years series of religious wars were kept up.
The Catholics were overcome by sword, and
the Dutch purchased commercial relations BY
shedding rivers of blood. The prince Of Japan,
in the almost equally divided state of his coun
try, was able to bring $4,000 fighting men into
the field. These combats afford many instanc-
es of heroic devotion. At 2one time the EN-
peror was beseiged for four years'ih his capt.
ital. Famine compelled surrender. He
would not survive his nation, which he deemed
lost, set fire TO his palace, enveloped himself
frI.its flames, and persisted. The short sighted
Dutch, ipeurging the expelling of the Portu-
gnese, raised spirit of distrnst against all
foreigners.i.T They were in turn restricted to
the use of single port, and to the trade of
four vessels annually. In 1743 they were al
lowed to send only one ship annually and from
that time to this day this has been the foreign
trade of Japan. Other attempts TO open trade
with Japan have been made without success.
Ir 1908, Capt. Pelew, an Englishman, crnis-
ing in these seas, was forced to take shelter in
the harbor of Negasaki. He sent request to
the town that he might be Supplied with pro-
Visions: The answer was to the effect that
he mist be off, or the batteries, lthey have
guns) would be opened upon him. He sent
back word that if the provisions were not forth
coming he wonld batter the town about the
ears of the inhabitants. 1t was impossible not
TO send them, but they were no sooner sent
than the governor killed himself. 1t is law
of the country that any native having inter-
course with foreigners, shall die by his own
hand, or his wives and children shall be exc
cuted, and his property confscated.
AS to the desirableness of our governments
effecting some commercial arrangement with
this Empire, there can be no doubt The only
question that arises is, as to the means iustfia-
BILE TO bring this about. The letter of Presi-
dent Fillmore is all very well, but it will be
recollected that the war vessels fitted out for
this expedition by the government, were all
well furnished and equipped, Perhaps all
war vessels should be- But the question
might arise, whet her there is any intention on
the part of our government, of using such ar
guments as the English used with China so
successfully If so, it will be new step in
that progressive ,ohggery which our neighbor
of the Tribune occasionally dilates upon.

SENATOR BRADBURY.-A correspondent in
the Portland Advertiser, pays the following
merited compliment to Mr.. BIS efforts on the
French Spoliation Bill.
For the vote, (passing it in the Senate) the
claimants are much indebted to Hon. Mr. Brad
bury, who met and answered the arguments of
Gov. Felch, of Michigan, in a most ingenious
and forcble manner.
Mr.. Bradbury showed that the claims of
France on our government, which were given
up in exchange for our claims, were valid and
existing at the time. He challenged denial
that the treaty of alliance of l779 had never
been broken by France, and that it is worth
millions to be freed from the obligation of
guaranteeing, forever, her West India pos
sessions. The argument of Mr.. B. is not on
ly new but unanswerable, and no answer was
attempted.

lned the rifle, and expressed themselves in
terms of admiration of its superiority over any

intentions of marriage, has passed both branch

the act thus passed, it will be necessary TO no.

tifcate, which shall be issued, except in the
case of paupers, or when minors shall not have
first obtained the consent of parents or guar
dams. The marriage may be completed i'm

in part with the practice of going out of the
