The Rights Of the States,

Gov. Wright of Indiana has rendered his
name Infamous By granting a requisition to
take the Rev. Mr.. Mccormick from that State
to Kentucky, on the demand of Gov. Powell
of the latter State The facts are briefly these
Grand Jury of Henderson county, Kentucky,
had found bill of indictment against McCor-
mick, charging him with the crime of abduct-
ing and stealing slaves. 1t was matter Of
notoriety that he had not been ip Kentucky Tor
sev eral years. The accusation specified the
case, which occurred only few months since,
and it was we'll known to The court, the jury,
and the Governors of both States that McCor-
mick was not there at the time, and had moi
been for long time before. The offence. il
there was any, was committed in Indiana, in
helping the negroes to escape after they had
arrived in that State.
Such being the known facts. Gov. Powell
made requisition for the body of Mccormick,
and Gov. Wright granted the request, and ex'
ecuted an order in compliance herewith
Learning these facts, Mccormick has been o.
bliged to fly from that state, and is now in New
York. We pronounce this conduct of Gov
Wright Infamous. and totally without prece.
dent. yea, in The very tace and eyes Of all pre-
Cedents 1t is in effect extending the slave
laws Of Kentucky over all the states of the U.
MON. It sanctions and sustains the monstrouS
doctrine that man in Indiana can commit ar
offence, against the laws of Kentucky, of which
the courts Of the latter State can take cogni
zance. and which they have authority to try
and punish.
When Mr.. Marcy, the present Secretary o.
State, under Mr.. Pierce, was Governor of New
York, a similar case was presented for his con
sidcration. A grand Jury in Alabama indIct

Gold and Corn.

The following beautiful contrast between the
gold OF California and the gold of Agriculture,
is from the speech of the Hon, Edward Ever

October 26.h
The grains OF the California gold are dead,
inlrganic masses How they got into the

whirled by elemental storm winds on the bo-
som Of Oceanic torrents, the aurferous lodges
were ground to powder by what Titantic
hands the coveted grains were sown broadcast
in the pacers, human science can but family
conjecture. We only know that those grains
have within them no principal of growth or re-
production, and that when the crop was to be
put iu, Chaos must bave broken up the soil.

to the ground, and there it will lie unchanged
to the end of time, the clods on which it falls
not more cold and lifeless. Drop grain of
our gold, of our blessed gold, in the ground
and 10 mystery. In few days it soflens,
it swells, it shoots upwards, it is living thing
it is yellow itself. but it sends up a delicate

BOmbardment and Capture Of Kinburn,

The correspondence from the Crmea this
week describes the sailing of grand expedition
consisting Of 900 French and nearly 1000
British troops from Balaklava, for destination
that is now imperieclly known in the camp.
Telegraphs. however, of later date have
intimated that the expedition made its appear
ance only, before Odessa, and later telegraphs
announce that on the 18th a detachment of
the Allied Fleet effected descent upon the
Spit of Kinburn, near the Saltwater Lakes.
The peninsula of Kinburn is one of the most
important military and naval positions on the
South coast of Russia, and the mouth of the
rivers Bug and Dnieper and directly opposite
Nicolaieff
The fortress of Kinburn resisted the Allies
by a very heavy fire upon the seven
teenth, on which day the Allies entered the
place at 12 O'Clock.
By their position at Kinburn the Allies
placed in close blockade the Naval Arsenal
and port of Nicolaieff, and the whole regions
watered by theDnieper, Bug and IngOul.

From the London Times, Oct l8.

Present Aspect Of Affairs in the Crimea.
From the Crimea nothing new is announced.
The French seem to have returned from Albat,
at the entrance Of the valley of the Belbec, and
be content to hold the ridge which divides il
from the plain of Badar. AS far as we can
judge from the letters of our correspondents,
there is, as yet, no certainty of a move; but, as
these communications are dated ten days be.
fore the latest teegraphic news, there has been
plenty of time since they were written for a re-
newal of activity. Il is pleasing TO hear of the
health and comfort Of our troops, and shat the
preparations for the winter will De such as to
prevent recurrence of last years caamites.
The British force at present amounts to SO, 600
fully sufficient to support the honor of the
country even on SO wide field. The French
are active, and the firing between the North
and South of Sevastopol, goes on with spirit.
The Russians seem determined to hold their
positions, probably more from feeling of ma,
tional pride than on pricpales Of sound gener.
alship,
1t may seem paradoxical to say that it is not
our interest to drive them out Of the Crimea,
but we fully believe that the losses in men and
money which the Gar will suffer in the per-
sstence Of holding the present positions will
weaken his power for any future struggle more
than if his Generals had retreated at once.
The last deserters have come into our lines
ragged and shoeless, and report that such is
the condition of their comrades. Provision
they seem to have in sufficient quantity for
their wants, hut of clothes and means Of protec-
ton against the climate, they are nearly desti-
tute. Yet it must be remembered that the diff
culties before the Allies are not few, The
Russians, in great force, and with knowl.
edge Of the country, hold central position
difficult to be attacked. They can only be op.
Grated against effectually by an advance from
two or three points at once, and cOncentric
advance of this kind is one of the mast danger

RES, W, Roswell, Esq, delivered poem
before the Alumni Of Columbia College at a
recent festival. The New York city papers
contain some extracts from it which are quite
readable. We copy few lines from it.
Now saw.mills crate in every forest nook,
Now spindes hum beside each mountain brook;
Through virgin forests locomotive wall,
And prairie flowers are crushed beneath the rail;
Where ocean rolled to trackless once and free,
7he age Of prose stalks forth and maps the sea,
Aud the swift lightning-one celestial fire
Does dludgedly in harness. on wirci
While patents fll the air, besuide the wave,
And dog usirom the cradle to the grave;
Machines that rock asleep our infant cry,
Machines that waitupon our latest sigh,
We wait by telegraph our loves young dream;
Live By machinery, and die by steam.
The spirit-rappings also receive hit after
the following style:
PrOsaic a'Ger death, our spirits then
Invent machinery to talk with men;
And, rapping from the world beyond, disclose
New Depths of dullness and eternal prose,
No more the fairy queen, 'in time Of night,
Is luled in flowers with dances and deli yht,'
No elves by moonlight tread their dusky round,
And trace green circles on the dew dropped ground;
No spook9 haunt churchyard and copse lights burn;
No goblin checks the butter in the churn;
And young america now laughs to scorn
The good old devil, with his tail aud horn
Poetic follies of younger age!
We deal in facts, moro prOsy and less sage;
For Shakspearo's spirit visits earth to tell
That be and Washington are very well;
And Lindley Murray from the body free,
Can't make his verbs and nOminatives agree;
Ben Flauklin raps an idotic dream,
And Webster scrawls bile twadde by the ream;
That splendid kuave, Lord Bacon has turned fool;
Aud Ponn's great soul is busy keeping school;
Well may the living poet theave a sigh
To think his spirit, stopping from the sky,
When he is dead can rap at mortal call
Bad rhymes and wretchod metre a WALL
We'll may the hero shudder in daspair
Whose soul can choose to animate chair;
And the great statesman sinking in the tomb,
Can rise aud wheel table round room.
Who knowshow soon we, too, must join these hosts
or silly, dull, di.reputabe ghosts?
How soon our friends aud relatives must shed
Some decent tears and cut spirits deadH
And who will work for character or fame,
Wien his own ghost can ruin his good name?

ed one r. 6. Williams, then and long before a
resident Of New York, for an offence against a
law Of Alabama. The alleged offence was
committed when out Of Alabama, and in New
York. Gov. Mercy very properly told the Ala
bama Governor that all such proceedings were
illegal and void. and no respect or attention
would be paid TO such a requisition. Gov.
Seward Of New Yoik, afterward had a contro-
versy with Virginia, going still farther in de-
fence of the doctrine Of State rights. Some
person in Virginia had committed some offence
against the slave laws of that State, while
within its borders. lie escaped to New York,
when the Governor Of Virginia demanded bis
surrender. But Gov, Seward held that the
man had committed no act which was re-
cognized as an offence by the laws Of New
York, and hence he had no authority to sur
render him, He distinctly maintained that the
laws Of state could not be made to apply to
other States, unless they we're recognized by
them. That which was an offence in Virginia,
slave State was not an offence in New York,
where no such institution was recognized.
This principle was distinctly settled in that
case, was fully recognized as correct by Gov.
Powell Of Kentucky, within the past year. A
citizen of the latter State committed an offence
when in the State Of Indiana, for which he
was indicted, He had fled to Kentucky, and
Governor Wright sent a requsiton for him.
Bu: Gov. Powell refused to surrender him.
and placed his refusal distinctly or the ground
that, in Kentucky, the offence charged was no
crime.
Yet with this late decision Of Gov. Powell
before him, and with the well settled decision
as annOuced by Governor Marcy, and every
where recognized as law, this Gov. Wright has
so far bowed himself down TO the slave power
and diograced the manhood of freeman of g
free State, as 20 yield all the points heretofor,
made and considered as settled. He has is
sued his order for the arrest and transmission
Of Rev. Mr.. Mccormick from Indiana to Ken
lucky, there TO stand bis trial for an ofTenc
committed in Indiana, if at all, against th
slave laws Of Kentucky.
The case is such palpable invasion of th
well settled doctrines of State rights as to cal
for universal reprehension. 1t must not b.
permitted for moment to go unrebuked, or tt
be regarded as preceden. for future guidanc,
and action. If the Generalization of Northern
men, commencing with the passage of the in
famous Nebraska bill, is to go on, as this woulc
indca ate, till every bulwark of our safety il
surrendered, then it is high time for our peo
pie to arouse and teach our rulers that sucl
baseness connot be tolerated Thank God
Ohio for the next two years, will not be dis
graced by any such spectacle as Indiana nov
presents in the person of her chief Executive
If the people of our sister State do not pu

when he again comes before them for election,
