The PETITION OF THE CLERGY OF New
ENoLAND.--The Report of Congressional pro-
ceedings ON Tuesday, which we publish in an
other column, should be carefully read and
pendered by all.
Upon the morning of that day, Senator Ev-
orett presented the petition of three thousand
clergyman of New England, against the pas
sage of the Nebraska bill. Immediately upon
the Introduction of the petition, Senator
Douglas commenced coarse and vulgar at
tack upon the remonstrants, denouncing the
remonstrants as liars, and charging them with
prostituting their sacred desks, to party pur-
poses.
Mr.. Houston of Texes, defended the re-
monstrants, from the scurrilous abuse of
Douglas, and then Edward Everett, Ikea con-
temptble, cringing coward, dough-faced as
he is, apologized for the hand he had in in
Producing the petition to the Senate. No
man, of whatever party, who has the soul Of
man in him, can read the report of Mr. Ev-
erett's remarks without feeling that Massachu-
sets was never so disgraced, in the person of
representative, as she is by the presence Of
her senior Senator, in age, in the Senate.

THE DECISION OF THE SUPREME Court ON
THE LIQUOR LAw.-The State Temperance
Committee have isussed a circular in order to
inform the public in regard to the character,
extent and effect of the recent decision in re-
gard to the constitutionality of the liquor
law, in which they say;
The decision was exclusively upon the l4th
section and its dependent provisions, and has
nothing whatever to do with the other sec
tions Of the law. The court say distinctly
that one part of the same statute may be valid
and another part void.
The other provisions of the law have been
sanctioned by the same court, and are there
fore valid. The erroneous impression has
quite extensively obtained that the whole law
was oyerthrown. We have left in full force
the prohibitory principle, the provisions fol
single sales and common sellers, with their GU
mulatiye penalties for second and third often
ces, ending in the house of correction, and
the bonds against subsequent violations of the
law.
The committee find in these and other pro-
visions left, more efficient law than any Ii
cense system that could be devised.

JoYFuL REsToRATIcN-On the night of the
SOth of November last, the brig Erie, bound
from Philadelphia for Boston, came in coils
ion with a ship that was running off the coast
under close reefed topsails, Nth no light set,
and was considerably injured. The ship pass
ed on, and her name was not even known to
those on board the Erie but three of the. crew
of the brig, one a son Of Capt. Baxter, of
South Dennis, about 16 years of age, were
ascertainedto be missing. Whether they sue
ceeded IN getting ON board the ship, or were
buried in the depths of the ocean, no one could
determine. From that time till last Tuesday,
nothing was heard by Capt. Baxter of his son,
and the parents had at length dispaired of
ever receiving tidings of his safety. Judge
then the surprise of his father, ON going to the
Post Office on Tuesday, and seeing his son
among the passengers of the state-coach. 1t
seems that in the alarm, growing out of the
collision of the vessels, the three got on board
the ship, which was British vessel, and were
carried to Liverpool, where he shipped on
board vessel bound for Boston, and arrived
home just three months after leaving the Erie.

................., .............THURSDAY MARCH

SEIZURES UNDER THE LIQUOR LAW UcoNsTI-
ruT1oNAL.-Chief Justice Shaw, in the Su-
preme Court on Monday delivered long
and elaborate opinion which was concurred in
BY the whole Court, that the fourteenth section
Of the Liquor Law, which provides for the
seizure and destruction of spurious liquors
kept for sale contrary to law,is unconstiution-
al, and void
The Chief Justice, in commencing, was care
full to say, this decision docs not affect the val
iditv Of other provisions Of the statute, various
prosecutions under them having, in fact, been
already sustained by the Court. He also full
ly admitted the power of the Legislature to
provide for the destruction of spirits, or other
property, held for purposes in violation of law.
But he said that the Court considered that the
fourteenth section, did not provide such pro-
lection against searches and seizures, and such
a mode Of trial as the Constitutional mainly
on the following grounds:
l. That no person was required to be named
in the complaint as the owner, or keeper of the
liquor, complained against.
.. That the section authorizes the seizure of
any liquor found on the premises, and not
merely that complained against
3. That under this section, person might
be convicted, and fined or imprisoned, without
dH SOluplulHt bCliS MAUI a51AAApO JILL DIV
ting forth any offence.
4. That the section makes no provision for
any trial of the offence of keeping liquor for
sale but authorizes party to be punished
for this offence, on a presumption of guilt,
unless he proves himself innocent.
This decision is very important one; but
it should not discourage the friends of temper
ance. The other provisions of the statue,
which have already passed the ordeal of the
Supreme Court, afford powerful and efiectual
means of suppressing the sale Of spirits
Their efficacy has been already well tested
And this opinion of the Supreme Court it.
self suggests the mode for providing for
searches and seizures of liquor, which shall
not be obnoxious to the objections which have
overwhelmed the fourteenth section of the
present law. Can we hope for such an amend
ment of the statue by the present legislature

NEW HAMPSHIRE ELEcTIoN.--The election
in this State, which took place on Tuesday,
has resulted in the election of Baker, the Dem
ocratic candidate for Governor, by ma
jority of about 5000, loss of more than
1000 since last year. The Patriot of yester-
day claims the election in the towns heard
from Of 100 democrats to- 100 opposition, and
thinks, when the returns are all in, that the
democratic majority in the House win not be
less than 20. Last year it was over so. The
democrats undoubtedly have the Senate also.
The Concord Statesman says that the chan
ges in the legislature are very large, and are
as surprising to other parties as to the Demo-
Gratis themselves. 1t adds:
It's obvious that they have been visited
with more whitening rebuke than under any
preceding circumstances, and that with
month more time for the opponents of the Ne
braska bill to work, there would have been
no choice Of Governor by the people, and the
Legislature, in both branches, have been lost
to the Democracy. Whether they have any
majority in the House remains to be SEEM.
According to our computation, their loss by
the returns below Is nearly Ga. Their major
ity in the last House was rising so"

WASHINGTON, March IL, 1854
The following story shows the expedients
which are resorted to, to bring members of
Congress up to the sticking point on Nebras
ka.
The President has tried every means, with
KITTRRDGE and MoRRIsoN, of his own State,
to secure their support, but thus far without
success. Every method ofapproach and every
mode of siege has been put in operation to
make them capitulate. They have stood out
like couple of young Gibraltars. AT length,
as last resort, gentleman of Concord, who
is known to sustain the most intimate and
inaaeutial relations with Kittredge, was tele-
graphed to come on forthwith, to try and sub
due the refractory members. He came on
accordingly and lodged at the White House,
Some of the watchers on the opposite side,
in Concord, found out what was going on
and telegraphed to Klttredge to inform him
and to prepare him for the interview. When
it took place, the confidential friend of the
member and private agent Of the President
was astonished to find his mission entirely
frustrated, by deriving from the member him
self full and authentic narrative of all that
had been done in the premises, before the agent

TRIAL OF A TEACHER. Mr.. James NJ. Viii
ton, one of the teachers of the High School,
was tried before the Police Court on the 18th
instant, for assaulting pupil named Geo. NJ.
Curtis, son of Beriah Curtis, on the 9th of
February last.
Hon. Henry Chaplin, counsel Tor Mr.. Will
ton, admitted that corporal punishment
was administered to Curtis, but no more than
was necessary and justi6able under the cir
cumstances. Mr.. Wilton had right to pun
ish refractory scholars, and he had done no
more than was necessary to correct the boy,
Curtis. He therefore was not guilty of as
sault
The ground taken by E. B. Stoddard, Esq,
counsel for Mr.. Curtis, was that the teacher
was guilty, because he had no right to punish
Curtis at the precise time at which he did SO.
The School Committee have prescribed and
limited the hours Of keeping school, aud the
teacher cannot, on any pretence, extend those
hours, or punish during the interval between
the sessions.
Mr.. Wilton detained Curtis after the hour
of dismissal as a punishment, and because
Curtis was not respectful to him, he punished
him. The counsel contended that both deten-
ton and punishment, were Illegal, and Mr..
Wilton was therefore liable for assault.
The case was not tried, but pended on the
point of law raised between the parties in re-
lation to the teachers jurisdiction.
The Court, by strict construction of the
regulations of the School Committee, held
that Mr.. Whitons jurisdiction had ceased,
and he had therefore, no right, during the in
terval between forenoon and afternoon school
to exercise any coercion, or administer any
punishment to any pupil.
AS Mr.. Curtis had stated through his coun-
sci that he had no personal i'll feeling towards
Mr.. Wilton in the matter; and simply de-
sired to settle the limits of the teachers juris-
diction, the Court ordered Mr.. VIII ton to pay
the fine of $500 without costs. Mr..
Wilton, who is highly respected by all who
know him; and who has been honorably sus-
tanned in his situation, by the School Commit
the, paid the fine, but reserved the right to APP
peal from the decision of the Court. Mr..
Wilton would have been discharged, if the
case had been tried simply on its merits
