The argument Of the Lord Chief Baron,
who rendered the decision in this case, de-

And now, Mr. Editor, a word with you, in:
te, nos:- have rendered to Chicago 4 boon Of
price above buttons, will she embrace the
scheme be success at the estimated cost, il
has more value than the outlay Of the revenue
arising from half million Of funded capital
10 be frittcred away In temporary make-shifts,
expedients, by the old fashioned appliances,
repeated annually with no outlook for finish
or cessation. The present accidental channel
must be daily shoalipg, the south bar daily
widening and 1engthening: During the past
season, inst thirteen feet Of water could be
carried out. This was precisely the draft of
your heavy vessels. The gales Of the coming
spring will probably shoa1 that channel, BY
June next, to about eleven feet. In that event
your large craft must seek other service, for
tightening grain in bn1h will not pay cost.
Not one day Of unnecessary delay should be
suffered where danger is SO Imminent, while
prevention is 60 accessible and cheap. The

The threat lately so common in Copper
head circles, that as soon as possible after
the 9TH Of March, the Congressman elect,
or those Of the Copperhead species, would
assemble in New York, aud thence give
law to the Republic, was not wholly un-
meaning. We hear that the intention thus
expressed really under1ies many political
efforts that seem to be unaccountable, and
that tue conspirators only await the hap
pening Of some national calamity, to nut
their designs into execution. We know Of
no men who would look better through the
grated doors of some Government prison
than those who thus glibly talk about a
revolution; md when they dare to exc
cute what they threaten, we hope that the
constituted authorities at Washington
whose province it is to guard against trea-
son, will destroy their illusions by c1appins
them into Fort Warren, where they may
repent at leisure. In this case there should
be no hesitation.
