MADISON, Wis., March g.
In the Supreme Court this morning Mr.. Car
pentcr, counsel for Barstow, told the Court that
Baastow would not submit to its jurisdiclou
but he suggested to them that the facts, in
Mr. Bashford's information could not be assum-
ed to be true until proven, and that no judge
ment by default could be rendered. He then,
as directed, he ssid, delivered a communication
from Gov Barstow to the Court, when he and
Mr.. Orion took their leave.
In the Assembly message was received from
Gov. Barstow to the Legislature, embodying the
summons issued to him by the Supreme Court,
the letter CT his counsel, advising him that the
Court had no jurisdiction and his communica-
ton to the Supreme Court. The cammunica-
ton to the Supreme Court solcmnly, perempto-
rily and officially protests against any further
action by the Supreme Court, and concludes as
follows
Deeply impressed with the responsibilities un-
der which have acted, and the step which 1
have taken to support the Constitution of the
State, to no infraction of which l submit or con-
sent, and believing that the Supreme Court will
best subserve the interests of the State and an
swer the constitutional purpose of its creation,
by discharging its legitimate functions without
arrogating to itself the high prerogative Of trans
forming the sovereign powers of the government
to partizan claimants, ! hereby take my leave Of
the Court and of their unwarrantable proceed
ings, in which the Court have seen fit to receive
my full and unevuvocal submission, and l shall
deem it my duty to repel with all of the power
vested in this department. any infringement upon
the COnstitu ion.
(SlgnedD WILLIAM A. BARsTow,
Governor of the State of Wisconsin.
The Message to the Legislature concluded that
he deemed it bold and dangerous assumption
of power, and asking what if any action should
be taken on the subject. The Message was re-
terrcd to committe of five.
1t is understood that large meeting of the
Democratic members of the Legislature and
leading Democrats from different parts of the
State, last evening it was determined to stand
by Gov Barstow to the last, and resist the juris-
diction of the Court.

THE KSow-NoTHING NoMINAT1oN.-A Massa.
chusetts friend has just explained to me the
mockery by which his State appears to have
been represented in the ballot for President at
Philadelphia, and thus to have participated in the
nomination of Fillmore The State is entitled to
thirteen votes, and elected thirteen Delegates &C.
cordngly. Five of these did not attend, or were
not on hand when the voting was in order, and
their places were somehow filled by inveterate
Hunkers, two of whom did not even reside in the
Districts they protested to represent. Had the
Delegates chosen by the constituencies been pres
ent the State would pretty surely have resolved to
take no part in this nomination, as Connecticut
and New-Hampshire. And, as it was, no Del
egate from Massachusetts, voted for Fillmore.
An American Member of the House from Massa-
chusetts was to-day asked by leading Fillmore
man how Mr.. F. would probably run in his State.
''About twenty thousand" was the reply,
''That's good majority" interposed the querist
"No-not majority" quietly interposed the Mem
Der; she will get about twenty thousand votes.
He soon after added that the candidate of the Ne
braska Democracy would poll about the same
number, which would leave about One Hundred
Thousand for-somebody else.
