JERSEY CITY ITEMS.

The COMMON COUNCIL DIFFICULTT.--
The Jersey City Aldermen not organized, and the
affairs Of the city are suffering from the delay. The off,
ces of Street Commissioner and superintendent Of the
Poor are vacant being elective Offices. The appointed
officers Of the City Government holding over and all
who are In the employ Of the city living in the hope
instead of the realization of their pay. The Board Is
composed of 10 members-l3 Wings and Democrats.
AID Brokaw Whig is candidate for President Of the
Board and carries with him strength OF seven votes
beside his own-including Of the Democrats votes
The remainder of the Board are opposed 10 him. and
have voted for different ones OF their number through
2S ballotngs without varying from tie vote. Finally
the whole number passed resolution to resign, their
resolution to take effect June 81. and appointing an
election on the Sd Of June. On Friday seven of the
anti Brokaw members filed their designations with the
Clerk and the other cOnditionaly. On Saturday
the May fled his veto on the resolutions above named
on the ground that the 81 Of June was past and
that such resolutions passed by the Board before
il was permanently organized were not Legal
meeting Of the members was called for
Friday evening but there was not quorum they adj
journed to Saturday morning sl2 o'clock, but again
there was no quorum. An adjournment was had TO
thin morning a, Sig o'clock. The suggestion has been
made, and will probably be complied With, that the
Board elect one of their number President with the
express understanding that business Is to be done
except the calling OF new election-that being tie
only way evident 10 them to be relieved from their
embarr assments. The charter does not clothe the
Mayor with power to obvate the difficulty, and this
cause will probably be chosen the safest one and
most expeditions.
SINGULAR ARREsT.-On Friday nighta an
arrest made Of party who has for time past
been in Newark, but for the last few days has been
guest at of the Jersey City Hotels. The prisoner
was locked up In the Bergen jail on the charge OF
grand larceny the complaint OF parties in Newark
On Saturday he brought before the Recorder and
his examination fixed for this day at o'clock. Imme
diately aterward he arrested charge Of adul
terry complaint of the parties, and removed to
Newark-where his examination will probably take
place to-day There are said 10 be curious cir
cumstsnces connected with this case and If they
developed in the examination will exhibit interesting
and romantic mixture Of love- law, jealousy and an
dpathy.

Estimated Expenditures.

An act, entitled "An Act to graduate
lands on which money is due and unpaid
to the Commonwealth Of Pennsylvania, -
passed the 10th day of December last Its
re-enactment would secure to many the
advantage Of its provisions, who from pecu-
mary inability, or other causes, have been
unable to avail themselves of its provisions.
1t will devolve upon the present Assem-
bly, to make an apportionment of the State,
for the election Of members of the House
of Representatives Of the United States.
| feel confident the greatest cars will be
observed, to give to every portion OF the
Commonwealth its just claims, and to
make the arrangement of the Congressional
Districts strictly conformable to those
considerations Of population and locality
which should apply to them.
And now, gentlemen Of the General
Assembly, as this is the last occasion upon
which I shall formally, by message, address
you, beg to present to you, at parting,
assurances Of my highest esteem and re-
gard VIM. f. JOHNSTON.

Hen.T The following is an extract from

H@- The following is an extract from a
speech made by Hon. Robert j. Walker
at complimentary dinner given to him
by the merchants of Manchester, England,
on the 9th of December last.
"The first gentleman that was ever
distinguished in my country as an eminent
advocate of free trade was distinguished
Englishman, the friend of Franklin and
Jefferson, eminent as scholar, philoso-
pher, historian, and divine. He came
from the vicinity of the neighboring city Of
Birmingham, and his name was Joseph
Priestley. ["Hear," and applause. He
settled, be lived, and died in my own native
town of Northumberland, in the State of
Pennsylvania, and, so far as my knowledge
extends, the first essays that were ever
written in my own country in favor of the
doctrine of free trade enanated from his
PEN"
The present generation Of DR.. Priestley's
descendants have diverged widely, in this
respect, from the political faith of their
great ancestor. We believe they are, to a |
man, strenuous advocates of . protective
tariff.

Veto Message.

To the Senator'S cf Pennsylvania:
Senators: An act entitled An Act to
repeal the Sixth Section of an act, entitled
an act to prevent kidnapping and preserve
the public peace, prohibit the exercise Of
certain powers heretofore exercised by
Judges, Justices of the Peace, and Jailors
of this Commonwealth, aud to repeal GER
tain Slave Laws" has been held under
advisement since the adjournment of the
last Legislature.
In obedience to the provisions of the
Consultation, l return this bill to the
Senate. where it originated, without my
approval, and with NV reasons for with
Lewisburg chronicle. [volume] (Lewisburg, Pa.) 1850-1859, 1852-01-14

more than idle to pass An act restorative Of
laws thus expressly declared and known in
advance to be unconstitutional? The
writ Of habeas corpus would run into
these unconstitutional places Of detention ::
the federal Judiciary would themselves
have to decide the question. The State
Judges, in counties where there is no
United States Judge, and where the fugi-
tive is committed by mere Commissioner,
would be required to issue the writ Of
right; and that which the friends of this
repeal have claimed as great boon to
the claimants, would be worse than mock
cry. The claim he now has on the Mar
shall, and his sureties, for indemni6cation
for the escape Of his servant, would be
converted into barren claim against a
county jailor, whose first duty would be
to discharge prisoner thus held if he
claimed his liberty. Not so was the law
formerly, and before it was decided that
all State legislation on the subject is pro-
hibited-not so will it be hereafter, if the
principle of the decision of the Supreme
Court be practically carried out, and this
whole vexed and vexatious subject be left
to the administration of the United States
officers.
The Act of Congress of the 18th Sep
tember, 1850, commonly known as the
Fugitive Slave Bill, would seem to favor
the same views entertained by Judge Story,
and pronounced in the decision to which
reference has been made Its whole tenor
shows this, and more than ono of its de-
tailed provisions confirm it. The custody
of the fugitive by State authority, is almost
forbidden.
The Marshal and bis sureties are made
subject to pecuniary liability, for an es-
cape, which, as the Supreme Court Of the
United States have decided, in precise
analogous case, is defeated the instant the
prisoner is transferred to 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 allowed, by the sth section, his ex-
penses for keeping him in custody and
providing him with food and lodgment du-
ring his detention.
Surely no one can pretend to say, tha.
this is no. full and exclusive exercise Of
federal power on the subject. If so, the
principle of constitutional law, to which l
have referred is interposed, and the legis-
lation of State to transfer this custody
is prohibited. Is it not then most co1du-
Give to peace and good order, and the hsr-
monious administration of the law, that
this whole subject be left where the Con
stitution places it, in the hands of the
United States authorities.
l 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 misconstruction to considerations
of constitutional law. l ask for them a
candid and careful consideration.
