declared and known in advance to be upconsti-
( tutona The writ of habeas corpus would
/ run into these unconstitutional places of deten-
! tloh; the federal Judiciary would themselves
nave TO decide the question. The State Judg-
! es, in counties where there Is no United States
/ Judge, and where the fugitive IS committed By
mere Commissioner, would be required to is
sue the writ of right; and that which the
! friends OF this repeal have claimed as great
boon TO the claimants, would be worse than
mockery. The claim he now has on the Mar
shal, and his suretles, for lndemnlhcaton tor the
| escape Of his servant, would be converted into
a barren claim against county Jalior, whose
/ first duty would be to discharge prisoner thus
| held if he claimed his liberty. Not so wes the
law formerly, and before 1t was decided that
all State legislation on the subject Is prohibited
not so will it be hereafter, If the principle of
the decision of the Supreme Court be practi-
cally carried out, and this whole yexed and
yexatious subject be left to the administration
Of the United States officers.
The Act Of Congress of the 18th Septem-
Der, lc5O, 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
It's whole tenor shows this, and more than enc
OF It's detailed provisions confirm il. The Gus
tody of the fugitive, by State authority, is
almost forbidden.
he Marshal and his sureties are made
subject to a 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 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 aud is
allowed by the eth section hts expenses for
keeping him in custody and providing him
with food and lodging during lis detention.
Surely no one can pretend to say that this Is
not a full and exclusive exercise Of federal
power on the subject. If so, the principle of
constitutions! law, to which have referred, is
interposed and the Legislation OF State TO
transfer this custody TO a local prison Is pro-
hlbited. Is it not then most conducive to
peace and good order, and the harmonious adj
mInistration Of the law, that this whole subject
be lett where the Constitution places il, III 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
against any expression liable tomisconstructi0n,
to considerations Of constitutional law. ! ask
for them candid ana careful consideration.

passed over the island near Marsala. In
their progress houses were unrOoted, trees
uprooted, men and women, horses, cattle
and sheep raised up, drawn into their yor-

their passage rain descended IN cataracis,
accompanied with hail-stoncs OF enormous

the town, and washed two hundred OF the

Upwards of five hundred persons have
been destroyed by this terrible visitation,
and an immense amount of property, the
country being laid waste for miles. The

TUsCARoRA ACADEMY BUaNED- The Tus-
carer1 Academy building, formerly the Presby-
terlan Church, was entirely consumed by fire
on the night OF the 18th inst We learn that
the fire originated III the north end Of the build
ing, and evidently was the work of all incendi-
airy. A number of students lodged in the
building, but they all made their escape with
out injury. Many of them. however, lost
clothing, books, &c, and several lost gold
watches. The building is insured in the Perry
County Fire Insurance Company, but for what
amount We are not informed. The school is
suspended for the present. but we learn that
prompt measures viii be taken to rebuild and
open the school again.--Juniata Sentinel.

DREAM

DREAM.
He was far, afar on the silver sea,
Aud the pale stars looked down smilingIy
The weary crew 10 their rest had gone
by the caravc's helm he stood alone.
Adown in the water he cast his eye,
Where dimly the coral islands lies
And like the vault of heaven alar,
ImbosomiuE each silver star,
Spread that Intermuable world
OF water pure and undefiIed,
While ever the playful zephyr filings
Sweet perfume from its weary wings;
The soft breath OF the odrous flower,
That it had caught, as round the bower
1t whispered in low minstrclsy,
That summer builds IN the ISLES Of the sea
Ali was silent ; you might hear
The WaiiIus OF each musical sphere,
As the Santa Maria stole on her way
To the golden shore of the blessed Cathay !;
The moon-beams fell upon the pure sea
In golden glanccs beautcously;
They came from the couch OF the dying day :,
To spread for her a golden way.
Long had she followed their pathway bright;
But 1t was broken on that night.
There dwcIleth Il dark spot ON the sea,
Sleeping there mysteriousIy,
As an cyI! thought will sometimes find
A dwellIng-place in a noble mind.
1t draWGth more near, and turrets rise,
Like Jagged clouds in the azure skies;
II drawetn more neur-and with outstretch-
ed hand
He gazeth cagerly-it was land
There lay an island in lis green dress,
Basking IN Natures wantonncss
Orole, lark, and nightingale,
Alingle their voices III the vale;
Every whispering air that steals
Perfume from the flowers, reveals
Where the murmurlng fountains flow,
In melody most sad and low,
On his dreaming ear a soft voice came,
Breathing Of rank and noble name,
OF princcIy honor and nnstrels' praise,
Hymuing the deeds Of his early days.
Crafty monarch and warrior grim,
What was he or they to him:
They were glad that the joyous cup
OF ruddy wine was lifted up;
That the sword and shield were thrown aside,
And the crescent, so long deitied,
Had yielded to the cross;
Aud that beneath the morrow's sun,
The banner of proud Arragon
Should wave lis glorious folds upon
The Nosicm tower; but he had won
4 nobler triumph far than this,
Wrought by his hearts own manlIness,
In dreamy thought yet well defined,
A triumph Of the uuconquered mind

A Dream of Columbus.


a Dream of Columbus.
BY THE LATE ALLAN CUNNINGHAM MILLIKEN.
The silver crescent had been torn
From the gray AIhambra's wall;
The Moor had wept Ger Grenada,
And left his fathers hall;
And the court of royal Ferdinand,
And the Lady Isabelle,
To the sound Of merry music,
And with laughter and with song,
In the Moor's deserted palace
DID It's revelry prolong.
Sad was the noble Moslem's hearth,
For he had struggled we'll
And filled with gladness were they all,
IN the court of Isabelle.
Nay, not ALL there was one lone man
Who neither wept nor smiled,
As he sat by his only friend on earth,
And he was sleeping child.
Why keeps he his sad vigil,
Musiug silently and long's
lie whose heart is bold III battle
Should share the victor ; song.
But on his ear UNDECIDED fall
The Strains of joy and praise,
As bending o'er hia sleeping boy
He thought Of other days
He thought Of lovely Genoa,
Fair city of the sea
For his youth mas nurtured near the sky
Of cloudless Italy
To her, when on his spirit broke
Dreams Of the ocean isles
Where spring time eyer singeth,
And where summer ever smiles
lie few TO tell her, as child
Flies to its sanity mother,
And trembled lest his heart might breathe
Its secret 10 another.
But she had long forgotten him,
And spurned the gifts he bore;
And lulI Of bitter sorrowiug
lie left his native shore;
And thongh he thought Of lovely Venice,
The Adriaic's bride,
Throned on her sunny islands
Amid his golden tide
lie offered her 4 coronct,
lEwrought with many a gem,
Meet for her pale and queen-lke brow
Was such i diadcm.
But she dashed it from her icwtllcd hand
A the reckless debauchee
Filings down the empty goblet
In the midst Of reyelry
Oh like bark tossed by the wave,
And broken by the gale,
Was the life Of that bold dreamer
Yet his heart did never fail.
4 spirit vas lBdweiliug,
That lit his darker hour
With golden visions, and his soul
Did yield unto lis power
And his la0ors now were ended,
For the royal Ferdinand
Had pledged his princely honor,
And sW worm it on his hand
That when from the Alhambra
His lag should kiss the breeze,
lie should 60 forth for the sunny isles,
Aiar in the unknown seas.
The noise Of the joyous wassliI
Grew louder, and the light
OF blazing torches fell upon
The starry brow Of night:
And through the iatticed easement,
A beam Of light was stealing
From of q silver fountain
Olive branches were concealng;
And ii fell upon brow
Pale and sllcnt--ior he slumbcrcd
Amid the reyelry that told
Grenada's days were numbered:
And nc dreamed not Of the past
Or the present hour Of JOY,
But of the future as he slept
Beside his bIue-eyed boy.

Surveyors. The bill was laid on the table and
ordered to be printed.
Resolutions of enquiry were introduced, IN
favor OF increasing the salaries of the drst Clerk
