College, and the Administers


WAsnIsaroS CRY, June 70, 1858,
Editor Of the American Organs,
The President and his Cabinet officers had a
rioht not to attend the commencement Of the Co.
llInbian College which took place yesterday in the
Z street Baptist church, i do not mean 70 qucs-
ton that right, but merely to state flct. have
myself been present at almost every commenc =
ment Of this College for the last fifteen twenty
years, and on every occasion but the last, saw as
many at least as two members Of the Cabinet, and
sometimes the President himself upon the plat
form. Yesterday saw not one. They may have
found the affairs Of the nation 80 pressing-the
President about starting TO the Springs, and
John Wilson, Commissioner OF the Land once,
and p Clayton, Second Auditor, TO be turned out
of Office for their Amercanism, before he cracked
his whip-thst they could not spare the time for
such business as attending the commencement Of
Pyotsstdnt College but IL was no waste Of time
last year TO attend such exercises at the Jesuits'
College, at Georgetown, and 10 otciate In the dis
tribution Of the medals and premiums; and the
same thing will, doubtless be done again at the
approach NJ commencement Of that institution.
Well, they have right to do IL; nor win they dare
not TO do It. ~ra 40
Besides, there have been considerable efforts
made lately 70 increase the impetus OF the Colum-
DIAN IoneRe, anu pau WIG 5V'Do y s'o
heads Of departments attended their commence
ment, Il might have boon construed as, an inten.
ton 70 give encouragement 10 the only rival OF
their favorite ipsttution-tbe Jesuits coilege--in
the District Of Columbia. Well, dare say, II
would have been 20 construed, aud the President
might have been hauled over the Goals for II and
required 70 do penancs, by his friend Dr. Mcguire.
I II they bad attended / am sure they would have
been grsti6ed. Tho graduates certainly acquitted
themselves very Handsomely there were not
many expressions in their oraons that would have
CALLED the President and bis Cabinet severity.
And as to the elegant, and msy say powerful In
aueurnl address Of President Binney, am sure
the most ultra anti. American would have die
covered nothing, to which he should Justly have
taken exception. 49,. -.

The New Orleans Picayune, an American
journal, thus alluded to the Judiciary election,
on the day before 1t came off:
We must again urge upon every voter the inn
portance Of using his best aud most conscientious
Judgment in exercising bis suffrage tomorrow. Let
no party consideration influence you. Form your
opinion carefully who Of the candidates, II elected
will discharge the duties Of supreme judge in the
best and most competent manner, and vote for
him, turning deaf ear to all other considerations
and influences. The admission of political con-
sidcYations into the election ofjudges, can have no
other effect than to deterorate our Judiciary, and
lower the administrations Of justice. Let every good
citizen, therefore, use his utmost endeayors to
keep our judicial elections and for all time 70
come entirely free from the communicating and
eorruptng influences Of politics and craftsmanship"
\ III is apparent from the above, and from other
articles in the Bee and Commercial Bulletin,
that the American party did not regard the
election of judge as party question, and ac-
cordingly voted as their inclinations or their
Judgment dictated, The result was, the cleo
ton Of the Democratic candidate, who is said
10 be very competent man for tho Office,
and in whose behalf numerous articles have
been published in the American papers.

VESSEL. The brig Young America, Capt Rodgers,
Of Baltimore, recently arrived at Savanna ID Mar,
Jamaoa, having on board slave steward, named
Anderson, who said he belonged 70 a Mr.. Robin.
son. On arriving n port, the captain, It y said,
knowing that Il the lsve landed on British soil he
would become free, took great pains TO keep him
on board, and to prevent communication With any
one on shore. A letter, however, says:
"By some means, the report that slave was on
board got wind, and the Inhabitants became terri
bly, excited, calling upon the magistracy TO inter.
fere and obtain the mans release. The magistrates
we're in doubt, aud considered II to be the duty Of
the customs officers to demsnd the liberation Of the
slave. The consignee Of theyessel, Mr.. Mason, o
magistrate and member Of assembly, isrsported

what they were doing, or they might cause another

seeing that the authorities would mos interfere,
took the matter into their own hands manned their
canoes, and made for the bigsntine Five stall

scizing the slave bore him of in triumph.
when the man reached the shore the people
cheered vociferousy, and If the captain had not
been careful OF nlinselI ne would nave oeen u.s.
saulted The only magistrate who took any active
part in the affair was Mr.. Justice r. f. Thomas.--
He to prevent an assault on the captain, drcading
from the great excitement that such would have
been the result, hastened to the beach and receiv
ed the liberated man with these words: Are you
a free man or a slave2' y am slave was the
reply. Then said Mr. T., in the name of her
Majesty the Queen, | now declare that you are
free and at liberty, having landed on British SOIL
Loud hurrahs followed the announcement, and the
mob united with the police in escorting the res
cued man to the Office Of Mr.. Justice Deleon, who
directed him 10 be lodged under the care of the
police until the following day, when the case was
fully investigated and IL was shown by s,e slaves

him; that he was a slave that his master was
living in Baltimore, and that the papers pro-
