HE CASE OF PAssMoRE WILLIAMSON
The Supreme Court of PENNSYLVANIA,
which is now in session in Philadelphis.
has refused to grant the release of Pass
more Williamson. Judge Black read the
decision: The ground taken is that the
court has no jurisdiction to warrant its in
terferlng with the judgment of the Fe-
deral courts that such courts have ex-
elusive power in deciding cases of con-
tempt, and this court could not 90 behind
the record to ascertain the fact whether
the commitment was legal or not. The
authority to deal with an offender of this
class belongs exclusively to the court in
which the offence is committed ; and no
other court not even the highest, can in
tertere with its exercise, either by writ or
error, mandamus, or habeas corpus
If the power be abused, There is no rene.
dy but impeachment.
Judge Lowrie concurred in the decision,
although he differed from the others in
some of the views of the case. Judge
Knox dissented from the decision and
commended that the district attorney had
no jurisdiction to issue writ of habeas
corpus in the first place, aud that Will
hanson was. guilty of no crime in re fusing

power to issue writs Of habeas corpus is
confined exclusively to State courts.

x "a Refic of Wings err.
We are always pieasedto greet an Old |
acquaintance after long absence. aud
this pleasure has just been enjoyedsby US;
in reading the proceeding of IS Wig
State Convention, held in Harrisburg,
Pa, on the 1thinst. Atthis convention
Joseph Henderson. Of Washington coun-
ty was nominatedifor:C Canal Commissioner
and series of resolutions passed which
read like those passed by that party in
former years, and are decidedly refresh
ing in these days Of solitude. in, which
the Democracy are left pretty much alone
in this honest. old fashioned way of de>
claring the principles upon which the con-
test is to be decided.
The frstof these resolutions declares
against the religious test of Know Moths
ingism. .sa.4.
The second opposes the prescription of
foreigners who entertain a sincere allegi-
ance to our governments.
The third is in favor of protection to
manufacturers, E to build up a real Anne
rican system impregnable to every alien
attack
The fourth and fifth are in favor of the
restoration of the Missouri compromise
line. and opposed to the admission of any
more slave States until that is accom-
plished.
The sixth calls for modification of the
Fugitive Slave law.
The seventh sanctions. very modestly,
indeed. the robbery Of Col. Wheeler of his
slaves, in Philadelphia.
The eighth is in opposition to 6llibuster-
ISM. and the ninth in opposition to
the administration of Gen. Pierce, whom
it is said has done precisely as they said he
Dould before his election.
The tenth declares these to be the SEN
timents of the Convention, and the deter
mination Of its members to support none
others, and throwing the responsibility o.
their prospective defeat upon those who
have joined the Know -Nothings.
The eleventh is in favor of the sale OF
the public works, and the twelfth endor-
ses the policy Of Gov Pollock.
There is now, in Pennsylvania, De-
mOcrAtic and Wing candidate for Canal
Commissioner, and we suppose the K.
Ms. will nominate another. There is
scarcely the shadow of doubt in our
mind that the. Democracy the of old Key
stone, will this fall resume its former
position in that State.

$4,000 FOR LASD.-we are per-

to take the following extract from Lett
ter received by him recently from some
eastern gentlemen who wish to purchase
lands in this country:
1--WE desire to purchase or invest $685.
600 in land, and wish to locate as nearly
as practicable in one body. We wish it
for farming purposes, and greatly prefer
fiat lands if thin, naturally SO or made so
by use. to rich rough lands. Our terms
would be, half ($l7, 500. down, and the
residue on short time with interest"
If any of our citizens desire to sell
such lands as are described above, they
would doubtless do well to call on Col.
Wilson and give him description.
