every true American, to that degree as is this subject. The account of the public meeting in the

old ''cradle of liberty Faneuil Hall, Boston, which we publish to day, will, we are sure, afford our readers the highest gratification .

To the demand of Gov. Hamilton, of S. C. for the surrender of the Arsenal and Fort Pinkney, the President has replied that he has no power to comply with such a demand; and that, when the Fort is completed it will be his duty to arm and equip it, and that that duty vill be performed. It is said that the Marshal of the South Carolina district has been removed and a new nomiqation made to the Senate.

We have observed, with some surprise? an article in the Madison Republican, censuring in no very measured terms, the members of the Legislature for voting a supply of the two pa pers printed at Indianapolis, during the session. This was not to be expected from any individual, much less from the intelligent editor of a periodical so respectable as is the Republican. The editor affects to view it as a matter of mere private accommodation to the members themselves, when in all probability, their men convenience was unthought of. They undoubtedly considered it the cheapest and most convenient method they could devise to place before their constituents a full accout of their doings- and thus enable them to judge whether or not they were faithful to their trust. The Resolution of the Legislature, of- which the Republican complains, places in the bands of each member twelve papers per week; and we believe the fact will bear us out in the assertion that, nine times in ten, not a tingle copy is retained for their own private use. It is a practice uniformly adopted by every Legislative body with which we ever had any acquaintance: in fact they seldom go so far as to confine them to the choice of such papers as contain details of their proceedings. It should be remembered that the publishers of the two Indianapolis papers very liberally exchange with other editors throughout the tate, by which they are enabled to lay before their readers the proceedings of the legislature, which but for that they could not possibly do but at a preat expense of postage. We think that no man, who is as well acquainted with the drudgery of embodying, and giving "form & feature" to legislative transactions, as we are will envy the publishers of the "Democrat and 'Journal' the meagre profit they realize from the vote of the Legislature, which is so much censured by the "Republican." We also believe that the good people of Indiana have too much State pride, to condemn their representatives aud senators, for adopting a measure which has been customary with the Legislatures of nearly every other state in the Union-

presume, tiom the vote on two or three motions to amend, I am led to believe the bill will pass the house by a majority of 20 or 30 votes; what its fate may be in the senate, I am, at present, unprepared to say. A bill has passed both houses to establish

a state road from Harrison via M'Kinzie's Cross Roads, to intersect the Lawrenceburgh and Indianapolis state road at or near Amos Boardman's. George Waldroff, Merit Hubble and John Whitehead are appointed commissioners to make the location. A bill has also passed both houses, to extend the privileges granted to the Whitewater and Harrison Bridge Company. These bills are local in character, but of importance to the citizens in the upper part of Dearborn county. A petition was offered yesterday, and referred to a committee, asking the incorporation of a company to make a M'Adamised turnpike road from Harrison via Brookvilleto this place. A bill, of course, will be reported. The "act incorporating congressional townships, and providing for public schools therein," is- under revision, with a view to better it. The engrossed bill of the Senate, establishing congressional districts, is in the file on the 2d reading, and will probably be reached this week and passed.

LEGISLATIVE SUMMARY. On Thursday, in the House of Representatives, the bill to amend an act entitled "an act regulating the interest of money in the state of Indiana," approved, Feb. 1st, 1831, was ordered to be engrossed for a third reading, by a vote of 57 to 17 Th

first section provides that if any person, bodies politic or corporate, shall, directly or indirectly, with a view of obtaining any higher rate of interest than six percent, per. annum, for the use or loan ofmnnov

the first of which provided that no sprtn-

a torteiture ot the charter, and the other that the manual labor system of education should form one of the fundamental principles of the institution; both of which were disagreed toby the House. The amendment of the Senate, providing that the charter may be altered or amended, after the year 1843, was concurred in by the House. On Friday, Mr. Rariden from the committee on education, reported a bill to amend the act incorporating Congressional townships and providing for public schools therein, making many alterations in the present system, with regard to the manner of establishing and regulating schools; which was twice read and committed to a committee of the whole House.

From the Nao York American. At a meeting of the citizens of New-York, agreeably to public notice, in the Park, in front of the City Hall, on Wednesday, 20th

December, 1832, at noon his honor Walter Bowne, Mayor of the city, was appointed President of the meeting, Abraham Bloodgood, P. A.Jay, Eldad Holmes and James Kent, Esq'rs.Vice Presidents, Saul Alley and John L. Lawrence, Secretaries. The following resolutions, offered by Wm. Bard, Esq. were read and unanimously adopted : Whereas the People of the United States have enjoyed under their present Constitution, unexampled prosperity, and, during a

period in which the civilized world has been shaken to its centre, and nation has been arrayed against nation have remained in peace, and with the exception of a short interval, in amity with foreign Powers, engaged in building towns and cities, extending information, facilitating communication between distant parts of the country, advancing the interest of religion, promoting science and encouraging the arts, until they have attained their present proud eminence among the enlightened and powerful nations of the earth : An d, whereas, the world has hitherto proclaimed, and we ourselves have acknowledged, that to the Union of tho States, as secured by the Constitution, these blessings are eminently due

Therefore Resolved, That the citizens of

New-York here assembled regard the Union of the States under the constitution as the source of all their wealth and power, the foundation of their peace and happiness, the defence and bulwark of their freedom, and while they are willing to sacrifice to its preservation and security all temporary advantages and sectional interests, they fully concur in the sentiment of the Chief Magistrate, that the Union must be preserved. 2, Resolved. That we approve the principles and sentiments expressed in the Proclamation of the President of the U. S. that a crisis appears to be approaching on which the continuance of our unexampled prosperity and political existence, and perhaps that of all free governments depend that on the approach of such a crisis, the first magistrate of the country is bound to exert temperately, but firmly the power conferred upon him for the execution of the laws. and that in the exercise of this duty.

says:

It is worthy of an attentive and candid

perual. Whatever may have been the opinc ) 1 i - i .

iuu ut icga aim poimcal men respecting the doctrines heretofore advanced by the President, all must admit that those on the subject of nullification, recognised in this Proclamation, are sound and salutary, the reasonings correct and conclusive and the results legitimate and unavoidable. It is evident from the whole tenor of the Proclamation, that the President feels his responsibility, and in this case, if in no othpr. i

determined fearlessly to discharge the du

ties thrown upon him by the constitution and laws, regardless of popular or unpopu

lar consequences. This is as it should be; and we rejoice to see him awake to a sense of duty at this interesting and important

crisis. Besides their applicability to the ordinance of South Carolina, there is another point of view in which the recognition of these principles is highly important. They have a direct bearing upon the ultimate

enforcement of the mandato of the Supreme Court in tho case of the imprisonment of the Missionaries, by an unconstitutional law of Georgia and may be considered indicative of the views of the President respecting his executive duties in relation

to the insubordinate spirit manifested by the authorities of that re factory state. We cannot well see how these principles extend to the one case more than the other, or how the social compact is moro violated in the former than in the latter case. It is true the nullifiers in South Carolina have resorted to more high handed and outrageous measures than the Georgians; but the principles assumed are no more at variance with the doctrines of the Proclamation, and equally call for executive interference.

way to this city, Mr. Worthington come here for the purpose of apprehending and taking him back. Soon ifter his arrival, he mot the fugitive in the street and seizing him by the collar, carried him into tho District Court, in order to take such measures as thd laws of the land authorized, for tha recovery of his property. The negro maintained most stoutly that he never was the slave of any man, aud that he had never before seen or heard of Mr. Worthington. The evidence satisfied Judge Davis that he was the property of Mr. Worthington, and he cave t

certificate to that efTect. Mr. Worthington enquired of the Judgo in what manner ha should proceed to secure the slave, in order to convey him to Maryland: to which the Judge replied that he could uso the same means that ho would to protect any other portion of his estate. Tho arrest created not a littlo excitement among tho colored population, who flocked to tho Court Houso in great numbers, and stood around the door, waiting anxiously to know what tho

decision would be. When Judgo Davis had adjourned tho Court, and was passing into tho street, they crowded around him and asked if this were not a land of liberty?, Tho Judgo answered that it was a land of laws as well as of liberty, and cautioned them against interfering, with a view to ro lease a person from custody, who was by tha laws of another State, tho property of the gentleman who claimed him. The admonition had a very happy effect and they departed readily. The slave was forthwithtransported to Maryland.
