From the Wathinglon Union, July 17. Gen. Cas&N Letter. Ditkoit, July 10. 13 ID. Dfa&Sib: I m tnoch obliged to juu for Ihe extracts you have tent me, and for catling my ettentiou tJ the remaiks ..f tomr of the whi piper upon a letter fiom the editor of the New Yolk Cuuiierand Enquirer, published in thit journal a slioit time wince, and in which an effort is made by those papeis to convict me of insincerity, lam auie you will bear me witness Ibat I have been heretofore pretty patient under similar attacks, some of them as remaikaUle fur their virulence as for their falsehood remarkable even in thi countiy, where political iuves'iations are o ptone to degenerate into personal abuse; and i had supposed, as the motive had parted away with the occion, that 1 iboulJ be allowed a reasonable measure of justice by our opponents, even if my opinions or court should be deemed

woiihy of exjminaivo. But tbe result shows that I have been deceived t and as no cunsiJeraiion of propne'j con- , nee ted with my position now forbid me fiow defending my ', ooMVency , I tb'Kise to do so in the present instance, not ' only because the charge is speciously pieferrcd, but because . it is calculated to place me in a false position befuie the' public. I I Lave delayed writing you for aome days, await'in the ' return of Col. Webb, who has gone ou an excursion to the ; Upper Lakes, as I did not wih lo refer to hurt thus publicly, without a pieviuus conversation with him i but he ha not jet returned, Dor do I know when he w ill t an I at I am unwilling to be subject to such imputations, without applying the pioper corrective, I have determined tu delay Hu anser lio longer. I have kuown Co'. Webb from Iiis boy. hood, and have never eeeed to esteem him. Our personal lalationa have always been kir.d. Divided in politic, we have cut ceased lo le friends and he will be as much surprised as I was at the disingenuous efftts to conveit his Jetler into the proof of my inconsistency an idea, I am sure, that Lever occurred to him. Nothing I state in this letter will be called io question by Col. Webb ; and I may aJd, that Mr. Greeley's remarks are written in no utjmt pii it ; and tboegh I caonot commend his care to asrensio tbe truth, I do not condemn the spirit of hi article. Whatever bis brethieo of the whig ptesa may do, I believe he ii disposed to do me justice. J am accused of inconsistency, amounting to dishonesty, io my opinions concerning a protective taiitT, internal impiovements, and the extension of slavery. The fiist I shall dismiss vary briefly, but very explicitly. The Baltimore resolutions contain my sentiments on the subject of a tariff. And neither lo Col. Webb nor to any other man have I ut tered a wotd inconsistent with them. I voted for the tariff of 1846 t and though there were some things I should have been glad to see otherwise, (and where ate there not, in such complicated questions ?) yet I gave it my hearty support. I never exchanged a word with Col. Webb on the sutject of a protective tariff in my life. Nor dues be say I did. Why he supposed I favored il, I know not. It is enough to taj he is in error, as are all wbo form a similar conclusion. In (he couise of conversation between Col. Webb and myself, I refened to tbe last piesideotial contest, and to the palpable injustice which had been done me by the whig press and politicians in holding up my letter to the Chicago Con ventiun as an evidence of my hostility to all improvement, hone er general and necessary, by Congress, and to my let ter Ij Mr. Nicholson as evidence of my desire that slavery should be established in tbe territoiies ceded by Mexico to the Lnitcd Slates. I ca.Jed these efforts the humbut of the day, as they were, and must now be confessed to have becu by every candid man. Iu neither of these letters is there io be found one syllable favorable to the constructions thus rut upon them. The letter to the Chicago Convention makes not the most distant allusion to the question of inter rial improvements. A person may be the greatest latitudinaiian, er the strictest constructionist, ai.d yet have written tbat Utter wi'h perfect consistency ..simply because all it does is to decline being piesent on tbat occasion. The let ter to Mr. Nicholson examines and denies the power of Con riess to pass the Wilmot Proviso, and endeavois to show that that measure would be inexpedient and uuneresary even if it wete constitutional. This is its extent. There is not in it, from beginning to end, one word Ring to show my opinion was that slavery would be established there, or my wish that it should be established there. All this will sur pi ise many good men who yet retain the impressions they received during a period of excitement, and wbicb they gained from the press, too often pursuing its object without regaid to the higher conaidetations of justice. Let him who doubts what 1 say on the aubjeel of these letters, turn to them and read for himself. To the law and to the testi mony. I will row ask Mr. Greeley for I tespect his cand r what has my letter to a gentleman who invited me to attend tbe Chicago Convention, to do with my opinions upou the sutject of internal improvements ? I was asked to attend that convention t and that was all I was asked. I answered I should not attend ; aod that was all I answered. And yet this answer, as I have slated, was circulated from one end of the Union to the other dining the late presidential con test, as conclusive evidence of ray hostility lo any improve went by tbe general government, be tbe character of the tjeet what it might. I had supposed the device had served its purpose, and was among the things that have been. Lit tie did I anticipate that a man of Mr. Greeley's intelligence and leputation for lotegnty would icvive this exploded charge, and would refer to tbat letter as furnishing any in dex to my sentiments on this subject, or any ground to con vtct me of inconsistency in my acts or opioious. 1 did not go to the Chicago Convention, because I did not think any good would result from its labors. I did not believe, nor do 1 uov believe, that such bodes, in periods of political ex citeutent per hips, indeed, at any period either by the coucentiation of public opiuion or by the diffusion of information, can lead to ary useful plan of action. Invited, as he members of that couvention wete, from every portion of the Union, tbe sphere of operation was far too extensive for wise and cautious delibeiation and decision. There were too many interests involved. If general propositions only are tu be laid down in such a convention, the object is not woith the effort i for, in the divided state of the public miud upon the question, whatever clatfoim might be adopt ed, the opinion of partie, and generally of individuals, would remain the same. If a general plan of operations is lobe proposed and press cd upon Congress, the objections are palpable and grave. The membei aie uaJrr little lespvosibility ; and as each aection t'f the country will have its own ot-jeets to atuin, these must be attsu.ed by concessions to the objects of others, and the result will loi.ili evidence of a mutual spirit of accommodation, rather than a cautious regaid for (lie general inleiest. Such an assemblage is a veiy different thing from the attempt to concentrate opinion and action in favor of any improvement affecting a particular portion of the Union, where theie is a community of information aod interest, and nhete theie is no weighing of one project against another. nor any sacrifices to insure the desired result. And I am fully confirmed in my previous anticipations concerning tbe Chicago Convention. I imagine the hist man is yet io be louna w no win veniuie io say mat any auvanwgc haa resulted from its labor. But I had yet another reason for declining to attend that convention. I did not like its origin. The eslirst notice if it which I saw was counected with the names of some we.'I-knowo whig, prominent politicians of the city of New York and I believed, aod I have yet no teason lo doubr, that one great object was to injure the democratic party by taking advantage of tbe excitement which prevailed in cer tain portions of the country in consequence of tbe failure of two successive internal improvement bills. And I have since ondeistood, though I cannot vouch for the fact, thsl such was tbe actual intention, and that the proceedings of the convention would have assumed a party character, and been direct d to ibis object, had not the design been frus trated by tbe firmness of tbe democratic membirs. Now Mr. Greeley will understand why I did not attend this convention. Eut I canuot undoistand why be seeks my opiniooa on ibia question in my letter, which is wholly ailcut on the subject, and not in my t peechei and votes in the Sen ate of tbe United States. Kmioent whi ' politicians whom I coull name, but that it would be invidious to do so, were invited to attend tbe Chicago Convention, but neither answered nor attended. 1 thought it due to the gentleman who invited me to acknow ledge bis attention, and did so. Aod this act of courtesy, which constitutes the only difference between myself and others, has been made the text book whence my opinions aie to be deduced, and by which my inconsistency is to be proved. On the question of the power of the foiled States over the subject of internal impioremeots, my sentiments are in accordance with those of the great democratic paity, and are fully expressed in the resolutions of the Baltimore Convention. In the words of ooe of these resolutions, I be lieve M that the constitution dves nut confer on the geucral government the power to commence and carry on a geneial system of iutemal improvement," and no man living has the right lo gainsay tins assertion. But at tbe same ti'ne I have r e er disputed the l ight of Congress to improve some of the great harbors and riven aod lakef of the Union, national in their character, and important to the commeice, and some of tht-tn to the defence of our country. While tbe democratic paiiy deny the power to devise and carry on a vast system uf "Derations whose pecuniary extent no man can foresee, and what is still worse, whose corrupting influence, as well in the lrgiUtuie as out of it, cannot be viewed but with the mot serious apprshension the great majority of thai paity. indeed neatly all of it, has advocated particular apliopiiati ns justified by the ciicumstances of position and importance. Almost at the same time that I declared my adhesion lo the resolu'ions of the Baltimore Convention, I voted with erpal coo-! fat'.h for bills in tbe Sena'e providing for the rcpiovrroent of rive: and harbors and lakes, and alvocated their passage in my seat; aud this is precisely the teas u why I accuse many of the whig papeis and politi citm of diineuuottne&s, or something Wure, in asseiting that my Chicago letter, which contained n t a woid on the ?uMeet. was pioof itl my l-Ciliii'y tJ all trie action oi Con rifc. in the very f.ce ot my efficial course and of my nut liely-Jeclared opinions. Aud my position was that of mol of ti e proromctit men of oar patty, who, while they held to tlie doctrines of the resolutions, held likewise to the power of soccial lejulati n, and voted for the atme bills. I do in t know, indeed, that there is a single senatoi who denies to digress all power lo UisIate over this matter. Certainly Mr. Calhonn does not, who adop's the wholesome doctrine of strict construction. 1 am aware it is difficult to craw a pitc- !.! lme at all times between ohteets that ought and inl ou!t not tJ engage the attention of Congte' ; and I think, turiefVe. Ix.kmg to the abuse to which Ihe whole subject is liaMii. that the effjrt should be to nrrw, and not to en large, the circle of power t and such I uuderstmd to be tbe viwa cf the democratic paity. The other proof of insincerity, as I have already stated, is Auen from ihe fact that in my letter to air. m. ooisoii s tok ground agaiai-t the Wilmot Proviso, excluding slavery by law fiom the tenitories, an J now believe that slavery, with or without that restriction, will not le established there. And ibe wonder is gravely expressed how I could write that letter and tbe letter of three line lo the Chicago Convention, and jet claiti the character of sn honest man. It is a much graver wor.der to me, bow intelligent editoi of public pipers, whose influence on public opinion is so great, Wold venture ihn to deal even with political opponent. in utter disregard of bu true position. Il will not lurprise !

jo, but il will many, who hare viewed my course only io a paity apict, to be told that in thai eery letter lo Mr. Nicholson I expressly stated my opinion to be. that slavery woulj never exleod to California or New Mexico i and that M the inhabitants of those regions, whether I he v depend on their ploughs or their heids. cannot be slaveholders. " I quoted with foil approbation ihe opinions of Mr. Buchanan and of Mr. Walker, the foimer of whom says: It is morally imjxuMble, theiefotp, that a majoritv of ihe rmigratits lu that poiti -u of the territory south of 35 deg. 30 min. will ever re-estabii-h slavery wiih'm its limit." Mr. Walker maintains that, "beyond the Itio Del Norte slavery will not pass, not only because it is f ilid !en by hw, but because the coloied lace there ptepondrr.tes io the ratio vt ten to one over the whites j and holding, as they do, the government and most of tbe offices in their possession, thry will not permit the enslavement of any pnition of the colored race, which makes and executes the laws of the country." And to these temvkslatdt The qne-tion, it will therefore be seen on examination, does not legaid the exclusion of slavely fifin a region where it now xits, but a pmhibiti n against its imrnducinn where it does not cxi't, and where, fiom the feel:ncs of ihe inhabitants, and Ihe laws nf nature, it is morally impossible," as Mr. Buchanan says, ' that it can ever re-establish itself." I have never uttered to a human being a sentiment io opposition to these views. And subsequent event, the events indeed of eveiy day, confirm their justice, and render it impossible tbat alavery'shmiid be re-established in the region ceded lo us by Mexico. Such is

the geneial opinion in the nun-slavenolding S'a'es. among those who are most attached tu the compromises of the ronstituti n, and most determined to maintain them. And I do not dt ubt but there ate many persons in the southern States who itsist ihe Wilmot Proviso with all their power, as offensive in the feelings aod injurious to the lights of the South, but who still believe it is a question rather of piineipie than of action, and lhat circumstances are preparing an exclusion which Congress has rm right to pronounce. in me view here taken, the eff rt to en era ft the Wilmot Proviso upon an act of Congress, even if Congress had the requisite power, is a useless attempt to direct the legislation of ihe country to an object which would be jost as certainly attained without iL If Congress bive not the power, a I Dcneve mey nave i ot, in common with a large portion of Ihe people, it becomes wire than Useless by becoming unconstitutional. And in addition to this, it is rcculiarlv offensive to one-half nf the States of Ihe Uuion, who see in it an attempt to ciicumscribe their rights, aod to moilify their pride of character. No man can look at the signs of ihe times wiiuoui oeing saiisiiea mat tne ptosecutioo or this question is producing Ihe worst state of feeling ; and though I trust that happen what may, our southern brethren will still cling to the Union, equally their aik of safety and ours, still there are evil short oi a separation which every good ci'izeu should seek to avoid. He should seek to avoid all occasions of unfiiendly feelings: to avoid as far as may be, the agita tion of questions hostile to the sentiments or interests of different sections of (he country, and thus tending to array one of them against another. There is enough passing in the Old W or Id and if there weie not, theie is enough passing around us lo teach us the inerimable value of our institutions, and that ihese ought not to be hazarded by internal dissensions, as unnecessary in their oiigin aa they are por'entous in their consequences. .So much for the expediency of urging a measure thus ad vocate! and opposed. But beyond ibis question is a still more impoiUnt one in-a constitutional government, and that is the power oi Congress to legislate over the subject t and this must be settled affirmatively before tho propriety of le gislative action ran be considered. I am not going over this giound at piesent. I have alieady touches' upon it in my letter to Mr. Nichi ls.-n, and I shall probably have an opportuai y of expicssing my sentiments more fully at the next session of Congress. I shall content myself with presenting a few general remaiks heie, as the subject lies in my way. There is one important consntiiation which meets us at tbe vei v Ibrcshhold of this inquiry : there is no express power in Congress to legislate over the teuitoiies tobe found ia the constitution ( for I believe it i no-v generally conceded as indeed it must be that the power to it pose of and make needful rules and regulations for the territory and other properly of the United Statei contains no grant of political power over persons upon such property either within or without the respective States. And if it does in the one, it must in the other; for these words are equally applicable to the territory and other property ot the United States, wherever situated. But theie are some hve or ox provisions in the constitu ion whence tbe power is sought to be deduced some persons deriving it irom one clause, and some from another; while each is more fortunate in showing wheie it dot not, than wh re it does exist. The exercise of a ereat political power like thi by a legislature, deriving its existence from a written iustiument, ought not todepeud on such loose con ductions. Nothing shows the well-grounded doubts icsecting this power better than Ihe very unceitainty in winch we are luvoived in the endeavor to maintain it by an cxpiess consu.utiouai gram. Ana uo wonder that now, when peculiar circumstances bung this question more forcible '.ban ever befoie the country, the true foundation of the power should be severely investigated. These who maintain the right of Congiess to pass the Wilmot Proviso, must maintain not only the ihrht of that body to establish governments, and to provide for the neces sities m legislation over the public territory, which is one thing, but also tho power to direct all tbe internal territorial legislation at its pleasure, without regard to the will of the people to De aiiected Dy it, which is another and Quite a dif fcrent thing. I shall not enter into any tubtletict touching the condition of oveieignty, or the right it brines with it. That subject was a good deal debated at the last session of Congress j but it bad been already exhausted in the discus sion previously to our revolutionary atrueile. We are sove leign, ssid the British government to the colonie, and may legislate over you as w please. You are sovereign, said our fathers, and may Establish governments; but you have no tight lo interfere, by your legislation, in our internal coucems. Such legislation, without representation, is the very essence ci despotism. This dispute divided one em pir. Lei us take care tbat a similar assumption of power dres not divide another. Have Congress any power to legislate over Ihe territories f I said in my letter to Mr. Nicholson. " How far an existing necessity may have operand in producing this legislation, ami mus exienaiug, by rather a violent implication, poweis not directly givin, i know not. But certain it is, that the piincipleuf iuterfeienre should not becauied beyond the necessary implication which produces it." The grouud ot necessity is that upon which Mr. Madison piacea me action oi the old confederation in passing ihe ordinance of 17S7 ; and if I do not misunderstand the late Mr Justice Story, he entertained simitar views when he said that acquired ten itory "must be under the dominion and jurisdiction ot the Union, or it would be without any gov einmcnt at all." If t0 avoid this latter consequence Con giess exercise a power not otherwi-e to be defended, that power should re limited by the necessity of the occasion which call it forth. To preserve the peace of society and to this giouud of support we must come at last there is no moie need that Congress should conduct the legislation of Ihe leintories than ihat they should conduct the legislanon of Virginia or of Massachusetts. It is enough that they should organize governments, and then the necessity for their interference ceases. And the result proves lhi; for the local governments do manee tbe internal concerns of the Teriitories in most cases, and would a safely in all, if not lettiained by congressional inteipositionj and if Congress can pass beyond ihe power to organize governments, they may rule a territory at their pleasure, and prostrate every barrier of ficedom. If. a I have heretofore said, they can regulate the lelaiion of master and servant, what but their own will i, t prevent them from regulating the other rela lions of life the relation of busband and. wife, and of pa lent and child t and. indeed, all the object wbicb belong to Ihe socu täte f There is no man wbo can show the slight est necessity for this ieteifeienee on tbe part ot tbe general government, and there is consequently no man who can show that it ha any right to interfere on Ihe gr und of its neces sary action. The people ot the territories are tuny com petent to roodurt their own affairs ; and the very first prin ciple of our social system demand that they should be per mute I to dojo. " Whichever may be the source." ay Chief Justice Mar shall, speaking d iubtfully of the origin of this jurisdiction, " whence this power msy be derived, the possession of it is unquestionable." He is speaking of tbe power of govern ment ; and no d jubt it has been possessed ; but it become very i npoitant lo ascertain how, ard how far. Congress has justly possessed it, in oder to asceitain to what extent it may be exercised. In almost all I believe I may say in II the speeches and essays in support nf the power of Congress to legislate over slavery, afier endeavoring vaguely to deduce it from some clause nr other of the constitution, the principal reliance is at last upon the authority of the few instances of its exeicise to be found in tho statute book. Authority and precedent have weight, and ouht lo have some weight, in doubtful questions; but I tiust there are few to be found who aie prepaied to shut the constitution, and lo seek in Ihe practice of the governmedt the foundation of its power; and more especially when, a in ibis cae, the early legislative proceedings passed, as we have reason to believe, without object ion or inquiry. They commenced ly adopting Iba provisions of an ordinance of the old government to the administrati n of the new one, and thus impliedly recognizing the exclusion of slavery, and srem to have g ne on silently and unquestioned for years. I have not had tine to look back to ascertain the facts precisely ; but 1 telieve it will be found that this power has never been exercised where there wa a united sectional opposition to it. Piecedenl may weigh much in the consideration of a diubtful question, whetc the whole sut ject has been maturely considered, and many minds hat ben brought to bear upon its adjustment. But as the founda'i in of political power a ptactice ihm introduced i of lit I le value, patticularty when it co.nes to involve grave questions eri -osly affecting the Union. We turn then instinctively from what hat been done to what ought io be done from the authority of precedent to the authority of the constitution. These are times which try such ques'ions. Wh r can wonder, that with the views entertained of this sutj-ct by Ihe South, an appeal should be made lo the commni chatter of the country, or that a large portion of our citizens should be satisfied with no answer not dened from it That what has been must continue to be, is a piinciple which has done more to perpetuate abuse than all the other causes which hire pea'ed npon political institution. Those who advocate and those who oppose the Wilmot Proviso occupy very different posiiions. The foimer uns its adoption as m itler of expediency. In order lo exclude alavery from the newly acquired territories, where it doe not exist, and where it cannot be denied that this exclusion is a morally certain without it as with it ; while the latter all oppose this measure on the ground of its uocoiistitu ionslity, and a Urge portion of the Uui n on tbe grout d also of It mteifeience wi:h their rights and feelings. The contest t which this surj'Cl has given lise has alieady been productive of the wort consequence. For two years it ha prevented all lefislation over most important regions, and hat left them withont government, and in a state of -t ial disorganization, to our own reproach and lo the suipiise vt the world. I do not btliava there it toother couutry on tbe face of

the earth whith would have pcrmittrd u h a state of thiogs And bow long is it to continue ! Is California to became a prey to intestine dissensions in th absence of all law, or is it lo be dtiven lo separate fiom us because we irrgtcct to dischaig one of cur fut duties a duly of nrces'itv 'hat of organizing government f,r the ptop'e who inhibit it ? Those who oppose ihe Wilmot Tioiiso on th gmund of its unconstitutionality can never sutrendcr tht-ir pini o.s and Vote for il. Those n have hrirtofoie advocated its ad tioti may well abandon it, convinced, as they mus? be, that their uljccl will be as well attained wilhuut it as with it. It appears lo me one of the most barren questions that ever divided a country ; barren in useful te'ul's, bill fertile in dif

ficulties and dangeis. I fieely confess that I I .ok with amazement upon the zeal and peitiwacity displayed in urging this measure under these ciicumstances, and augur from them Ihe worst c oscquences. These aie my sentiments. They will rive offence t many, and will exiiose me lo much i.b!uquy. But I do not liesirate thus openly to avow them; foi cveiy pu'j'ic man who is iK-l prepared to Uke a decided put agreeably to his convict ions, in lime like ihese, is no! prrpaied to disch irgo one of ihe first duties which belongs to Iiis position. To insure ; domestic tranquillity," in tho woids of the constitution, was j one of the gteat motives of the pe pie of the United States j in the organization of their picot government.

According to the DayBook, the first plank road was constructed by C. Edwards Letter. It was built sixteen years ago, in Cayuga county, N. Y., and threo miles in length. It va made across a swamp caused by an inlet or bay, at the end of Cayuga Lake. All the tolls received were by voluntary contributions. A box was placed at the end of the road, and those who passed, put in as much as they pleased some a penny, some a sixpence, and some a dollar. The amount received In this manner the first year was equal to tiie cont of the road. This was the germ, the idea, from which sprung all the plank roads in the country. Baltimore, Aug., 20. A painful occurrence came to light yesterday, which created intense excitement. The remains of the ventrable D. Evans Reese, who died pnddenly va Friday evening, were conveyed lo the Light etrect buring ground, and while they were being placed in the vault, the hand of a human being was discovered protruding from one of the coffins deposited there. On a doner examination, those present were startled to find the hand was firmly clenchcd, the coffin burstcd open, and the body turned entirely over, leaving not a doubt that the unfortunate being had bren buried alive. The corpse was that of a respectable man who died, apparently, very suddenly, and whose, body was placed in the vault on rridaylast. It is a harrowing thought to suppose that ho was buried before life was extinct; but the facts leave little doubt of it. Truly is it a sad commentary on hasty burials. The New Hampshire Patriot (Old Hunker) likes the letter of General Case, except aa it regards slavery. On this point, "it enters a strong protest. "But while the other portions of the letter are so satisfactory, we are s rry lhat what he snys upon the fltvery question is s much tho contrary. He ex-pre-sly reiterates the dvtrin of his famous 'Nicholson Letter,' which lost him the Presidency, that Congress Ims tin constitutiooel power to legislate upon slavery. Tlie Ocmm-racy of the North never did endorse 1 1iis dctrino. nnd nver will." - "The Detnnerary of this Stale are unanimous in the opin ion. mi fr as we kn-rw, that Conzreui has and should rxsrcifp the jiewer to exclude shivery from California and xscvv Mexico." The members of the Independent Relief Fire F.njine and Hose Cnipany, No. I, will meet at the Council Chamber for the transaction f business on M-mday, hepiemtier at 7. o'clock, P. M. FITCH C.

I he assignees wete young men. employees and creditors of he assignor, and boarders in bis 'air ily. After the assignment, no appueni change took place in tl s possession or control f ihe pi ope r 13; the assignees fallowed the diieciotis of the assignor, in regard toils dispo sition, even, in soriu cases, to Ihe violation uf the proviiior of the deed of liut. Tbe assignees wcVjfof doubtful com petency to m mage so extensive a trust as was committed 10 them. It wis in proof that the assignor stated, about the time of the ransfei, that certain of Lis creditors, parties to this suit, he would never pat ; it also appeared that a part of the property so t'SU-ferred, was afterwards claiidrsuiirly sent by one rl the assignees, to ihe assignor al et. L. ui. Held, lhat there having been no exclusive possession nf the probity by the assignees, and no soend reason shown f r the oiiiiision to take such possesti 11, said assignment must, as to creditors, be considered fraudulcul aud void, t o far at last as the pel sons I property was concerned. l-i aod between the assignor aud assignee, having been cs latrlrbed, the declaiaMons of Ihe former made subsequently to the assignment, may be received in evidence agaiost the assiguert, in a suit between them and contesting cicdi'ots. A deed void in part for fraud is void if toto; and the fact lhat there are innoceul cieditors provided for in a frsudulrnt general assignment by a deed nf tiust, will nut make tbe deed valid as to them.

This was au action of debt commenced in 1846, on a promissory note due Aug. 15, 1S40. The defrn Iant pleaded tust, mal tne note was given in cousineiauon that the plaintiff would, on the 15th .f August, 1S4I, execute to the defendant a sufficient died in fee simple for a certain tract of land, (dosenbin' it.) that the plaintiffs nit the dav the note urd on was eisen, executed to the defendant a till bond conditioned mal imy tvouia convey saia tana 10 tha defendaut in fee simple, on the 15th of Aueust, 1S4I . Averments, that the plaiutitfs du not on said loth day jfl August, 1841, execute or oner to execute, not have they thence hitherto offered to execute to the defendant a c xd and sufficient deed in lee si iple, kc, although the defend ant was, on said 15th day of August, S4I, and has contin ued thence hi'herto, willing and ready lo pay the note to the nl a in tiffs if Ihev would make to him such deed as afoicsaid. ReDlicatiuii.tt.it in iuarcti, 1340, ocioie sun, sc., pianmiu offered to defendant a deed in fee, kc. and demanded payment of the note, but the defeudaut refused, &c. ; lhat laiutiffs have at all times since been leady to deliver the deed to the defendant. if he would pay the noUs. Held, that Ibe plea and replication were both bad. The plaintiffs were not bound to make an unconditional tenocroi me acen. 11 w-s only incumbent on Ihem lo offer the deed on the 15th of August. IS41. on coudili 111 that Hie dcicnoani wouiii, ai me ame time, pay them the note ; the pica not tiavcrsiug sue conditional offer on the appointed day docs not howr a uon performance uf the cont.ict on the part of the plaintiffs. n uonThe issue raised by the replication, whether or not ihe plaintiffs had offered to make the deed in March, IS 16, was an immaterial issue. The defendant also pleaded, that tbe plaintiffs at the time of the sale and Ihenco hitheito were not the owners in fee simple of the land fr which the note was given; the pica also alleged lhat the plaintiffs at the time of the making of said note. faUely and fraudulently tepresented to the defend ant that they were owners in fee simple of tbe land, &c , and tbat defendant counting, &.C., gave to Ihe plaintiffs the note, kc. Replication, that the note wai obtained fairly and not by fraud as alleged. Held, lhat lhat part of the plea denying Ihe ownership of the plaintiffs t the land, &c. was a good bar to the action. If the plaintiffs were not the ownei of the land bn the I5th of August, 1841, Ibey could not pei form their part of the contract, and consequently could nut sue on the note. The allegation of fraud is immaterial, and theiclure the issue laiscd by the leplication is immaterial. The find inj of both tbe immaterial issue in this case for the plaintiffs, did not entitle thtin to final tudijmenii plaintiir only being entitled to judgment on a finding in his favor, on an immaterial iujuo to a bad pica, where there is no other issue in the case. The defendant could not have judgment ton obstante ter edict o on tbe finding of Ihe second irnmateiial issue against him, as Ihe plaintiffs did not by their leplicatiou expressly admit the allegation of non-ownership alleged in the second plea, aud as an implied admissiuu, like the one in question, does nut authorize a judgment non obstante veredicto. The rule that the party commiuing the first fault iu pleading shall not be allowed a icpleader, applies only where tbe issue is found against bim. Where the issue is found in his favor, he may have a repleader. Reversed. Replication to second plea set aside. Finding on the fust issuo to remain, cause remanded, with leave to plaint ill's to reply anew to Ibe second plea. J. 8. Ilaivey, for appellant j C. C. Nave, for appellees. FUSE! F1KCI!

My physical enerfie had been much impaired hy a previous attack of bilious fever. Having turd several favmite remedies wkhout relief,a friend in whom 1 had confiiience, recoon mended Dr. Oood'a Indian CMa. popie. I procured a bottle, and followed the accompanying duections. The consequence was, that I had hut one paroxysm titer taking the first dose, and my jrnerjl health was rapidly revtured without usu;g any other medicine. I difmsed of the remainder of the buttle lo tw) other persons aimilary afflicted, and with the same resuka. One of them had been stinking ror eight months, and was relieved in two days by the use of tlie CUohjopie.

A violent cold, induced by one of those audden chanpr in Um weather, which I have always found so injurious, resulted in a tar more serious febrile attack the fever assuming the more painful character of a remittent lever, hiving beco-ne what within a year or two prut, I have beaid so much of a "iliill lever." The dwease continued upon me in despite ol quinine and oilier popular remediea, when Mr. B. banded me a bottle of Indian Cbolagopue which you had Ihe kindness losend me.
