Presentation oS.-Capt. Cressey, of The ship FLYING
Cloud has been presented by the Board of Under
writer's Of New York, with a service of plate worth
s 500, as a mark of their appreciation Of his SER
vices in saving his ship and preserving hor cargo on
her recent voyage from Canton to New York. Phe
vessel struck on coral reef in the China seas, came
off leaky, and in that condition was Safel5 hhFfsa
ted to her destination.
No man ranks higher as skilful and faithful
shipmaster, and one is more deserving of a sub
stantal token Of approbation. His noble ship and
himself stih rank unriTalledI as having made the
two shortest passages on record, from New York to
San Francisco. We understand Capt. Cres-
sey recently declined very liberal fer made 70
him by an eminent English firm, to command ono
of its crack Australian clippers. He contends thas
the ship has yet ebuilt that can sail alongside

Campbell and Morton in Lafavette

Considering the limited notice given a re-
spectacle audience assembled at the Court House
on Saturday night, to listen to speeches from
Hon. l.. ID. Campbell of Ohio, Hon. G. Morton,
and Judge Test, of this State, on the political
topics Of the day.
Mr.. Campbell did no great things in the way
of speech, probably owing to the winding
way" he travelled to reach here, pulling his wits
and making his head dizzyi The points he
made were these: That slavery in the abstract
Is wrong-that the trainers of our Constitution
never designed the spread of slavery beyond the
limits where it existed at the time the Constitu-
ton was made-that the repeal of the Missouri
Compromise was fragrant outrage on the rights
Of the North. Lastly, he told what he and Dan
Mace were a-going to do at the next session OF
Congress-
After Mr.. Campbell followed Mr. Morton. who
commenced by saying he would detain the au.
dience "but few minutes" Instead of doing
as he said, be bored his listeners for over an
hour with the dryest speech we ever heard
Indeed, we could not bear it through, but came
away leaving only fifteen or twenty writing in
all the agony of utter despair at the hopeless
end of a downright nuisance. Mr.. M. confined
himself torepeating as near as he could remem
Der what had '.just been remarked by his friend
Campbell" Just as If the audience had moi
beard it, or lacked understanding to compre-
bend Mr.. C.'s speech without his further expla.
nation. We consider all such illusions TO a
previous speaker at any time by anybody, as
contemptuous, and an insult to the audience
present Were we anxious for the success of fbe
Old Line ticket this fall, we should manare ~
have Morton stump the State on the Rep1bli-
can side. The result would be looked forward
to without the least doubt We hope in case
Morton ever comes 10 Lafayette again. he will
speak first, or not become listener to those who
may precede him.-Lafayefte American.

LIQUOR Law OPINIONs.-All the lawyers
and ex-Judges in New York are busy giving
opinions for and against the consttutionality
of the liquor law of that State. SO far, opin-
ions are tolerably equally divided, and both
sides have plenty of good, sound law to sus-
tain them. Judge Bronson, somewhat fa-
nous as a politician, has come ont with IN
opinion against the law, in which he assumes,
first, that it takes an unwauantable liberty
with existing rights to property, by denying
to the owner thereof the right to sell it. Sec
ondly, that the Legislature cannot make a
thing a nuisance by declaring it to be such.-
Third, that although excessive drinking is an
evil, it does not follow that the moderate use
of liquor is sin against either God or man.
Fourth, it reverses rules of evidence, alilicts
grievous penalties, is directed against a par
ticular class, is retroactive, &c, &c; and fifth,
even though the law is valid, it does not ap-
ply to imported liquors. He closes by
hoping that no man will distrust the judiciary,
but wait patiently the action of the legal tri-
bunals. When Doctors disagree, the patient
should make his will The disagreement OF
lawyers seems only to give vitality to the OBJ
lect of their difference. AS fastas one knocks
the breath out of the law, another restores 1t
to healthful condition, and SO it is kicked
about from one side to the other for public
amusement, till set of grave old dodgers,
called the judiciary, think it time to stop the
fun.

Spirit of the indiana Press

One Of the best exchanges onour list is the
Rockport Democrat. On the recent Conven-
ventions it says:
"The AbolitiOnists of Indiana and Ohio have
in their recent Conventions endorsed the theory
Of nullifyeatiOR Of the Constitution itself. They
have laid down the reasonable doctrine that
no more slave States should be admitted into the
Union, whereas the Constitution Of the United
States recognizes State Constitution embody-
ing slavery therein, as a Republican Constitu-
ton, and privileged to be admitted into the
Union, in like manner with other States. Here
then is a direct conhictiOn between the resolves
OF the Abolition Convention of Indiana, and
Chic. on the one part. and the Constitution of
the Union ON the other. In other words, the
AbolitiOnists of the North say, that the people
Of the Territories shall not come into. and enjoy
the privileges of the Union, unless they come
knocking at the door Of admission through the
reasonable principle Of Abolitionsm, and multi.
ficatiOn-
These Territories, it is admitted by all. were
purchased by the common blood and common
treasure of the North, of the South, East, and Of
the West. Yet the Abolition Convention of Indi-
annapolis, and Columbus, have in effect solemnly
declared that the citizens south of Mason and
Dicksons line, shall not settle in any of the Ter
ritories of the United States, unless they show
TO the proper Northern authorities certificate
OF membership of good standing, in the Adolf
tiOn church
The AbolItiOnists of the North, take ground
against the fundamental principle established
Dy the var OF American Independence. They
IN elect declare that the people are not capable
of self government, and therefore have laid down
the rule of conduct, for the government of free.

Tennessee

The election occurred on Thursday, but
the result IS not known.
Tie canvass closed on the sd of July at
the request Of Col GENTRY, who, it seems, is
sick in bed The prospects continued good
for the Democracy. In East Tennessee
JOHNsoN's gains, il is stated by reliable men,
will be at least two thousand over the ordi-
nary vote. 1t is stated in the Nashville
American that the Cincinnati Times had is
sued separate edition of its paper for Ten
nessee, the same trick played in the Virginia
election. All the papers concede that JOHN
SON acted very magnanimOusly in closing the
contest in consequence of GENTRY's sickness
Even if he had been relinquishing the game
when in his grasp no was too courteous to re.
fuse.
The election in North Carolina also took

The Philadelphia Slave Case.

The facts of this case, so much misrepre-
sented, are as follows:
'sThe Hon. John H. Wheeler is citizen of
North Carolina; he has been for some time Amer
lean minister to n foreign power He has been
at his post in discharge of has duties, and was
returning to it after a brief visit to the United
States. He is the owner of three colored SER
wants, named Jane, Daniel, and Isaiah.
ale was proceeding 10 New York on We'd
nesday, the 18th, to embark for Nicaragua, and
when ON board at the wharf at this city with his
three servants, the respondent came on board
and asked those servants, or one of them, If they
would like to be free. They told him that they
wished to stay with their master, when the re-
spondent and fifteen or twenty colored persons
took them forcibly from the custody of their
master. The two boys cried TO go back to Mr..
Wheeler, but the respondent here, one Pass
more Williamson, forced them away"
WILLIAMSON, who forcibly took possession
Of the negroes against their will, was brought
up before Judge KANE, who decided as fol-

United States, or of Pennsylvania, or Of New

authorizes the forcible abduction of any person

perty, unless in aid Of legal process.
2. That know Of no statute Of PENNSYLVANIA
which affects to divest the rights of property Of
a citizen Of North Carolina, acquired and asser-

Nor do i allude, on the other hand, TO those

Crown Point, Lake County

On visiting this neighboring county and coun-
ty seat few days ago, we were forcibly impress
ed with the appearance of rapid improvement
and increase of business almost everywhere TO
be seen. The principal roads are rendered more
pleasant, both by being made more perfect them
selves, and by the well cultivated fields, album
dant crops, nice gardens, good barns and fine
houses, to be seen on either side
The wet portions of the county have been in
calculably improved in value by the extensive
system of Swamp Land Ditching, carried on
under the able and judicious management of
Com. j. p. Smith and Engineer johnson Wheel
er. The importance of this kind of internal
improvement TO the health, wealth and prospect
ty of the country, cannot now be duly appre-
clated, but will be hereafter when its benifccent
results become more fully manifest.
Crown Point, the beautiful county seat, is
iiourishing finely. To give an idea of the pro
gress of the place, and increase of business,
1T may be stated that about year ago, line Of
hacks started, with much doubt as to being sns-
tanned, to run tri-weekly between Crown Point
and Lake Station. 1t was sustained and pre-
sently commenced running daily; still later, it
began to run twice day. and at latest accounts
two lines were running, each twice a day both
ways, and generally well loaded VaIDaraiso
