The Port Warden Act.

From the Albany Argus, January 20
The case Of rnkham and others against Iapscou Co,
was argued yesterday the Court Of Appeals This case
involves the question Of the constuti0nay and validity
Of the socaed Por, Warden act, passed IN April last
This gives the Board Of Port Vardens consisting OF
nine members appointed by the Governor aud senate the
exclusive right make surveys Of damaged vessels and
cArgoes the port Of New York and prohibits the en-
poyment Of private persons marine Surveyor or the
King Of marine surveys by any except the Wardeus
under heavy penalties. BY this act large number OF re-
tired captains who have been Tor years engaged IN me
business surveying and whose certificates o surveys
have been received without any instance OF complaint
or mischief in lnnumerable cases OF damage, were
leeislsted out Of their trade 10 make room for the
nine office holders whom this law quarterod
upon the commerce Of New York The present suit as
brought by four of the private marine surveyors aganta
shipping house in New York TO recover the value OF ser
vices in surveying the ship Midiesex In june last The
defence that all such services illegal under the
Port Warden act The plaintiffs demured 10 this defence,
thus raising the legal questions under the law The Court
OF Common Pleas decided IN favor Of The plaintiffs, holding
that the act did not give the Port Wardens any exclusive
privileges except In where their services were requr
ed by party interested 10 having the survey made and
intended could be construed to confer any such
exclusive privileges, e conHicsed with the provision OF
section Of article Of the constitution, which forbts the
creation of any inspection ofce-marne surveys being

SENTIMENT OF THE SoUrH.-It is a very great
mistake TO suppose that there anything like general
sympathy and for Walkers schemes any other
nlibustering movement few persons only hold such
thinge admiration about these regions Both the So
yannah Republioan and the New Orleans Bulletin deny
the existence of the pretended sympathy for Walker and
his hbusterng schemes in those cities and the South
They say the people be misled in this by
politicians The Mobile Register sustans the Presidents
In relation 10 the lbusers, and thinks that II the
Southern people have patience they will the expan
sion of this country southwark by peaceable much
more certainly than by violence and outrage We are Of
the opinion The Southern portion OF this continent
must become Americanzed, II they ever become any
thing worth naming But this should be brought about
by honorable and peaceabe means, 70 accomplish which
al nlibustering must be repudisted and crushed.-Wn
