The Lennon Case,

The New y ork Journal of Commerce
has the following notice Of this important
case /: E.,-. r. t,., ~
The case Of Lennon as. the State of
New Y ork, for the recovery of the. value
of eight slaves, late the property of sail
Lennon, q citizen of Virginia, is now be-
fore the full bench of the Supreme Court
of this State, sitting in this city, on GER
tiorari from the Superior Court, which
set the slaves free on a writ of habeas cor
pus, in 1852, Judge Paine presiding.
Lennon and his wife, with these slaves,
were on their way from Virginia to Texas,
by water, taking this city in their. course,
as the most expeditions and convenient
route The question is whether their
touching at this port under such circum-
stances, and not with any intention to
reside there, but only to remain until the
next steamer should sail for their desti-
nation, was violation of the laws, either
of this, State or the Uni,ed States; or
whether it was7a right conceded to them
by thelawss Of the United States. Judge
Paine decided that they were not thus
privileged. 3 From his decision an appeal
was taken assaboye to,the Supreme Court
of this State, before which the case is now
being tried. d.,e.,.f,e tara M 49, ,s-,

ed yesterday on behalf of the plaintiff in
a speech three or four hours long, and was
followed by Mr. Evarts for the defense In
speech which occupied most of the res
idue of the day. Both speeches were
very able. The case will occupy two or
three days, and after a decision by this
Court win GO up to the Court of Appeals,
and ultimately to the Supreme Court of
the United States. 1t is case of con.
siderable Importance, as it invoices the
question whether family of slaves, ac-
lcompanied by their master and mistress,
can lawfully touch at port in a free
State while passing from one slave State
to another slave State The State oil
Virginia commenced the suit by authori.
ty Of the, Legislature of that, State, and
the State of New York defends it by or

is pending, we deem it unadvisable to
offer any remarks on the merit Of the
case. Z Nd AZ Ea-sEa--e.a-eti...l

by this rule, Professor Holloway, Of whom

desire to benefit his fellow creatures ap:.

practical result of this combination has

PRESIDENTS message.
Gentlemen of the Senate,
and of the H,ase Of Representatives.

and of the H,ase of Representatives.
In obedience to the command Of
the Constitution, il has uow become
my duty Ito give TO Congress infor-
nation of the state of the, Union.
and recommend to their consicera.
tion such measures" as | may Judge
to he .'ne eessary and expedient,"
But first, and above all, our thanks
are due to Almighty God for the
numerous benefits which He has be-
slowed upon this people. and our uni
ted prayers ought to ascend to Him
that He would continue to bless our
great republic in time to come as He
has blessed it in time past.
Since the adjournment OF the last
Congress our constituents have en-
joyed an unusual degree of health.
The earth has yielded her fruits a
bundantiy, and has bountifully re-
warded the hnsbandman. Our great
staples have commanded high prices,
and, up to within a brief period, our
manufacturing, mineral and mechan-
ical occupations have largely partak-
en- of the general prosperity. We
have possessed all the elements Of
material wealth in rich abundance,
and vet, notwithstanding all these ad.
vantages, our country, in its none
tary interests, is at the present mo-
ment in deplorable condition.
In the midst of unsurpassed plen-
ty in ali the productions of agricul-
ture aud in all the elements of ma
tional wealth, we find our manufactnr-
ers suspended, our public works retar-
ded, our private enterprise of diIier-
ept kinds abandoned, and thousands
Of useful laborers thrown out of en-
plovment and reduced to want. The
revenue of this government, which is
chiefly derived from duties on Inn
ports from abroad, has been greatly
reduced, whilst appropriations made
by Congress at its last session for the
current fiscal year are very large In
amount.
Under these circumstances loan
may be required before the close OF
your present session; but this, al
though to be deeply regretted, would
prove to be only slight misfortune
when compared with the suffering
aud distress prevailing among the peo-
pie. With this the government can
not faii to deeply sympatbize, though
it may be without the power to ex-
tend relief.
1t is our duty to enquire what has
produced such unfortunate results,
and whether their recurrence can be
prevented? In all former reyulsions
the blame might have been fairly at
trbuted to variety of cooperating
causes; but not so upon the present
occasion. It is apparent that our ex.
listing misfortunes have proceeded
solely from cur extravagant and vi.
eious system Of paper currency and
bank credits, exciting the people to
wild speculations and gambling il
