REPUBLICATION OF NILES WEEKLY RE-
GISTER

William Ogden Niles, of Washington City,
has issued proposals for republishing the first
fifty volumes of Niles Weekly Register, en-
bracing the period from September, 1911, to
September, 1886. The character of the Regis
ter, as an invaluable record Of the most import
ant events in the history of the country, is too
well known to need remark. 1t was always re-
ferred to as an authority. We present the plan
of Mr.. Niles:
"The subscription price of the volume, en-
bracing the period of twenty-five wears, (from
September, 1911, to September, 1867 with
the six supplements and the General Index,
which is separate volume, was, an sheets, 1874,
viz: $3.50 per volume for the Register proper.
81 for each of the supplements, and So for the
Index; or, if bound, STEPS. The supplements
are to volumes 5, Z, s, 8, Is, and l6, and form
very material portion of the work, compri-
sing, as they do, valuable historical papers, and
one of them the entire debate upon EOofs Reso-
luton. The General Index embraces the first
twelve volumes, in which are contained the
Epents Of tie Var of 1872 and is very full
and complete. With the view, therefore, to the
general distribution of the work, and thus bring
ing 1t into familiar use where it is only known
by reputation, propose to reprint the said fifty
bound, Sl72.25, at cost of $3.50, also bound.
That is, will furnish to subscribers to the en-
tire series the 70. four volumes, without sup
PIGMENTS, at Sl.5O per volume, bound, and the
six volumes with supplements, at 81 per vol
ume, bound, and the General Index, at 81 so,
bound. The old octave form will be preserved;
the paper shall be equal to that on which the
Congressional printing is executed the type
new, and the binding firm, neat, and durable,
and in the style of the Congressional Globe.
For odd volumes, or volumes required to COM
plete sets of the work, of which it is believed
large number will be ordered, the price will be,
for those without supplements, g per volume,
bound, or Sl.50 in sheets for those with sup
plements, $3.50 per volume, bound, or 81 in
sheets. At least two volumes will be published
every month, and in cities and towns where
there are five subscribers, they will be delivered
free of cost; but no volumes will be delivered
unless paid for at the time of delivery. The
volumes ordered by mail must be paid for be-
fore transmission but they will be transmitted
at the risk of the publisher"

THE CASE OF COLONEL wHEE1ERs 81 AYES
DECISION OF JUDGE KANE.

Philadelphia, October l2-Judge katie d..
livered an opinion this morning, adversely Ia IL
reception OF the petition of Jane Johr son 10
quash the writ of hadeas corpus in the case 81
Fassmore Williamson, pronouncing her T. hay g
no status in Court, being entirely with( nj il s
jurisdiction.
The opinion is very elaborate reviewisg tn
whole case, and re-affirming his former opinion I.
he asserted that the law of nations guarantee I
the right of transit of slaves, and of everf othe
species of property, through territory where Sls
very was not recognised.
III the contrary principle was sanctioned, the
time might come when the cotton of Louisian.
the rice of Carolina, and the rum of New Ems
lano, would be restricted from transportation,
without the bonds of the State producing them.
lie maintained that the Federal Constitution
recognised slaves as property, and up to 1880
Slavery existed in the thirteen original States
He said that Williamson's duty then, as nov
was to produce Jane Johnson's children.
Were the petitioner here to abide the action
OF the Court, she would have right to be heard )
but beng without the jurisdiction, the records
OIL the court cannot be open for stranger s
On the conclusion Of the delivery of this .opiI {,
ion, John Cadwallader, "a member of the bar,
brit not engaged in this case,) in order to re-
move false impression from the public miAl
said, from his recollection of the circumstances
attending the commitment of Passmore Will
hanson, proposition was made to amend the
return to the writ, when Judge Kane replied:
I" will not receive an amendment now, but
will be prepared to receive it when the record
has been completed"
No such motion was subsequently, made. and
the public impression that permission to amend
was refused was not warranted by facts.
Judge Kane replied, that his Mr.. Cadwalla-
der's) impression was correct. He had been
prepared to receive a supplementary return
from Mr.. Williamson's counsel, but none had
been offered.
Mr.. Cadwallader suggested that an addition
be made to the opinion of the Court, embracing
the remarks of a member of the bar not engag-
ed in the case, and the reply of the Judge. He
was induced to make the suggestion by the best
feeling towards worthy but mistaken man,
hoping it might lead to the adoption of such a
course as would end in his liberation.
Mr.. Cadwaladeri is to embody the remarks he
made, when the Judge will follow with his an
swer, SO as to complete the record.
John M. Read, counsel for the petitioner,
said he had listened with attention to the opin-
ion, but it had failed to convince him that the
petitioner and her children were not free the
moment they touched the soil of Pennsylvania.

TO the Editor Of the National Era:
DEAR SIR: The election is now over in this
State, as well as in Ohio. The friends of Free
dom and equal rights have gained signal vic
tory In Ohio, while in this State they are beat
en- fearfully. The papers of this city are at a
great loss to find out the true cause They are
either misled or dishonest. Had the opponents
of the Administration done in this State as
they did i'll Ohio, the effects would have been
the same. But, as you know, the friends of
Freedom were not organized until very lately
and at last, for the sake of defeating the slave
Democracy, they gave up their candidate for
Canal Commissioner very bad move, as Pass
more Williamson would have led all others ex-
cept the Democrat, and this fact alone would
have done great deal to kill the Know Moth
ings, and secure victory for the Republican
party next year.
The Know kothings nominated, and they
ruled the election-driving off our foreign
Protestant population, which numbers in this
city alone some five thousand and in the State
not much short of fifty thousand. Again, thou
sands of Wings would not vote, and gave it as
their reason, that they despised the Secret Or
der as much as they did the Democrats. Last
Of all, the friends of Freedom had no great love
for the Know Nothings, and many thousands
staid at home.
think L have given the true reasons of our
defeat. hope that the Republicans will soon
rally for the victory in 1856, as it is manifest
this State is to be the battle ground between
Freedom and Slavery. Yours, respectfully,
GEORGE ORR.
N. B. In my communication with your pa
per last winter, was understood to favor Know
Nothings; now, | would just remark that there
was nothing further from my purpose. de-
spise everything about secret associations, of
all kinds, and for every purpose. GO.

An intelligent correspondent writes:
The result of the recent election in this State,
IN the temporary defeat of the Republican par
ty, was, no doubt, unexpected to many at a dis
lance, who were not aware of all the opposing
influences, of local and personal nature, which
were brought to bear with effective force against
a full and free expression of public sentiment,
on the Pro-Slavery Vaccinations of the Pierce
Administration. Yet, with a multitude of ad-
verse circumstances, and the most labored and
INSCRIPTIONS efforts of the retainers of that Ad-
mlnistration, to contend with, we have come out
OF the contest with popular vote increased by
thousands since last year, and unity of pur-
pose and knowledge of real strength, that makes
us more encouraged by the result of this cleo
ton, than by the success of last year; for, al
though we do not stand as strong comparative
ly as in 1854, yet we lead the Administration
candidate some 5000, and fall less than $1,000
behind the combined vote of both bunker par
ties; and this, too, when last year we had the
support OF the Know Nothing element, which
brought to our vote some thousands whose
sympsthies were not with US, and who, as was
to be anticipated, have gone to their associa-
tons, Jealous to atone for last years apostacy.

MODERN DIsCovERY.-In the course of a
lengthy and able article in the New York Trib-

achievements of discoveries within the last
quarter of a century:
"Within the last twenty-five years, all the
principal features of the geography of our own
vast interior regions have been accurately de-
termined; the great fields of Central Asia have
been traversed in various directions, from Box
hara and the Oxus to the Chinese Wall; the
half-known river systems of South America
have been explored and surveyed the icy con.
