SEcEssroS-AS INTERESTING CAGE-A few days
ago prisoner in the Georgia pententiary, convict
writ Of hG6eals corpus, and asked to be discharged
on the ground that the State had seeded from the
Union The court, however, decided that the ordi-
nance by which Georgia had declared her secession
from the Union, does not extend beyond sePara-
ton from the other States and a Withdrawal ef the
powers delegated to the general government; that
upon the past exercise Of those powers by the latter
government the ordinance does not assume to act,
and was not designed to act; and that it does not
annul any of its acts. The prisoner was therefore
remanded.

] Upon what preseDsss DO we claim ths right Of
maintaining forts and soldiers in the seeded Sstss
/. That We are the Government there
2. That We own the property.
8. That We may enforce the laws.
First The contest then is between the tEo Gov
ernnsnts; the Federal Government and the State
both claiming the same powers. The State GoVeru-
ment (say in South Carolinal Is an unquestioned
government, the government is, to say the least,
qusstionalable governnent in that locality. The
hrst has the express assent Of the people The
general government has their express dissent. The
State government is in possession Of the disputed
powers, and hssnoW, for some time exercised them
Which is de fsetO the Government?
Second. We own the property Ownership Of
property carries with it no tide to govern Owner
ship Of property is always right enjoyed subject
to the Government
Third That we may enforce the laws. Of what
practical use is Major Anderson in snforcsing the
laws Is he dsing it Can he do itY e Il his
business there to enforce the laWsf Has he the
right to enforce the laHsl II so, By what warrant
Is he United States Judge, Collector, Marshall Dis
trict Attorney These are they who enforce he
United States laws. Soldiers are only their tools
whenever used. If be is not actually engaged In.
enforcing the laws and never has been (ssd We
know he cannot, if he try enforce the laws because
there is no one to tell him what law to snforce,)
then this pretence for keeping him there Is an idle
one. For this end he is Of no use there
The only shadow Of time we have to nIsintain
him there is cur claim to be the Government II
We intend to fgh. ous this question, which OF the
two is the Government? on the spot. in Ssuth Car
cns, where alone it can efecsuslly be fought oct.
then Major Andersen may be Of use where he is
Otherwise be IS Of no use. II We are to frnt this
question out On the spot, after the manner Of the
wars Of Lancaster and York, then We must send
armed men thither TO put down eur rival the State
Government To attempt this is absurd because
cur army viii meet too much fighting on the way
thither, to ssy nothing Of what hey may have 70
do when they arrive. Msjsr Anderson can be Of
no use, even for this end, where he is
Nor can he be Of any use in case Of the apeliea-
tior to Charleston Of Mr.. C0chrane's new bill ahol-
isbng the ports Of seeded States psrts Of entry
If Charleston be no longer port Of entry there are
no revenue laws TO be enforced there The vessels
frsm foreign ports which are 10 be seized, viii be
seized outside.
The simple fact is, that the Government eaanot,
By any means in their power. enforcs tAe laws in
Ae seeded States, and the sooner it gives up try
ing, the better for all parties. The eorreetEsss Of
Mr.. Buchanan's doctrine that be had no lawful
means for coercing Tevolted State, is beeo1iBg
clearer every day, well his wisdom in avoiding
IN anaVailing collision.

An AMUSING IsoDENT.-Anong the many amusing
incidents which occurred on Saturday last whilst
the President was being escorted by the COMMITTEE
to the city, none created more merriment than the
one which took place between the distinguished
guest and the slave Charles, belonging to Col Pol
lard. He had been carried along to do the sgreea-
be' at the temporary table erected in the car and
determining not to be outdone in the discharge of
the amenities of life by the pale faces" As the
Aborigines term them, was particularly solcitOus
for the comfort Of Gen. Davis and imagining that t
about time for him to repeat (perhaps judg-
