Message OF the Governor Of New Jersey.
Governor Price, in his message just delivered,
vigorously opposes the restoration of the Mis-
souri, Compromise and justifes its repeal; and
Massachusetts, Connecticut and Maine are
censured for renewing the agitation of the
slavery question. He says:
Herewith transmit communications of public
interest received from the States of Massa-
chussetts, Connecticut, and Maine, in accord
ance with the request contained in the resolu-
tons of those States. They refer to the Missouri
compromise, and the slavery question. 1t is to
be regretted, that any ofthe States of the Union
should deem it necessary to agtate at this or
any other time, subjects like these in spirit
so imperative and unconciiatory. 1t must be
admitted by all, that the questions referred to
are of character to enlist in their consideration,
all the prudence, moderation and forbearance
which the people OF every section of the confede:
Grafton have right to expect and demand,
from those of other sections In this spirit do
desire to direct the attention of the Legislature
to the points involved in these resolutions.
That the so-caled Missouri Compromise was,
in ITSELF an expedient devised to accommodate
for the time being the conflicting opinions
which existed in regard to the admission Of
the State of Missouri, with a constitution
recognizing the existence of slavery, no one
will deny. The act was in its nature, so far as
the future exclusion of slavery, from the terri.
tory acquired from France, in the cesson of
Louisiana, restriction upon the rights Of the
slaveholding States-since in the normal con-
dition OF that territory slavery was recognized.
And although tacitly submitted to for a while,
there was nothing in its provisions to cast
around it the halo of "good faith" which its
advocates pretend should have guarded it from
repeal. But it is repealed; and / submit, can
it now be restored with any advantage2 In
restoring it, were it possible to do so, we bring
back the free citizens who now inhabit, or may
in future inhabt those territories to that condi.
ton of quasi colonial dependence which they are
now freed from, and which is at variance with
the principles of free government. We as
Jerseymen, contend that we have the capacity,
and are endowed by nature, in common with
all our countrymen, to the right of sefgovern-
ment We enjoy it to the fullest extent in
our own State. But should inclination or
necessity take us to territory, the common
property of us ALL shall we thereby forfeit that
right, and become more subservient to the will
of the federal government than we now are?
Shall we part with the right of having voice
in the establishment Of institutions, on which
our future may depend2 | think not, and
therefore, believe that. the restoration of the
Missouri compromise is not to be desired any
more by us of the North, than by our bretheren
Of the South.

Of age-already having inherited $45, 900 from
his father, which he spent for the benefit Of

now inserted as a condition Of inheritance, that
if the said Harry was in debt at the age Of 30
five hundred dollars he should forfeit the in

keep ahead of ones debts than we have ever
seen before.-LouiSUille Democrat.

The Pittsburg Herald tells the following
anecdote Of the Rev. DR.. Plumer:
During a visit to the Hot Springs, on GER
tain occasion, he was invited by the company
gathered there to preach for them on the Sab
hotel was prepared for religious worship, and
the audience assembled. The speaker an
nounced his text, and began his discourse; but
was mortified to find that by some of the
younger and more frivilous Of his hearers OF
both sexes, the whole performance was looked
upon as good joke, and to be treated accord
ingy. Some were smiling, some were whis-
perng, and unseemly levity prevailed through
out the congregation. For few minutes he
endeavoured to withstand it by simple pre-
sentation of the text; but to no purpose. Stop
ping short in his discourse, he at once arrested
their attention by the question: "My friends
do you know how these Hot Springs are said
to have been discovered? | will tell you.
Many years since, an old Dutchman and his
son were passing along down the valley, where
the road now runs that you see out there
pointing to it through the window-"when,
observing the Spring, they stopped their team
to water the horses. The old man took up the
bucket, went to the spring, and dipped it In,
when some Of the water dashed up on his hand
and scalded him. Instantly dropping the
bucket he started for the wagon, running and
calling to his son, in the greatest consterna-
ton. Trive on, Hans; trive on; He'll ISL moi
far from dish placer" At this, his audience
burst out laughing immediately assum.
ing look of deepest solemnity, and dropping
his voice to the low tones that in him are like
muttered thunders, he made the application

place" There we're no more smiles in that
congregation that day. Some who heard it,
said it seemed to them as if the terrors of the
Day of Judgement had come.

affected to be notified Of the charges against
them-to be informed Of the proofs and

this the guaranteed right of the citizen in all
cases2 Could it have been in the contempla.
plation Of Congress that the officers of the
Navy were to be tried upon their morals, for
there may be very wide difference Of opinion
as to what constitutes morality or immortality ?
And the question would, perhaps, be better
suited TO the investigation Of an ecclesiastical
Jurisdiction, a board Of casuists, or bench Of
bishops, than to board Of old and Young
naval officers. Crime and dshonor have Al.
ways been subject to- the Jurisdiction Of courts
martial; and the law, if faithfully executed,
has always afforded full remedy for them.
The general understanding at the time Of the
passage Of the act was, that it was designed to
reach such cases only as those Of courts martial
could not take cognizance. The incapacity con-
templated by the act cannot fairly or legally
