BOSTON, 10 State St

A New Phase of the Slavery Question. Some time since a Ma. LRXMOK, of Virginia, left that Slate for Texas, where he intended settling, taking with him a family of eight Slaves, the property of his wife. He took New York City in his route, having shipped at that port for Texas. The Abolitionists of that city, having become acquainted with the facts, applied to Judge Paine, for a release of the Staves snder the existing laws of the State of New York. The Judge thereupon jssued a writ of habeas corpus, and, after hearing the cause deerded that the Slaves should be discharged Though the statutes of New York forbid the holding of slaves, the Judge was not satisfied that the laws covered the case in which there was a necessary transit ot slave property, through a free State, from one slave State to another,—but, he based his decision upon international and common law. He hold that, whilst under the principles of interna tionai and common law, strangers were permitted to pass with their property through the territories of a nation, those same laws did not regard slaves as property.

This decision of Judge Paine, under which a oitizen of Virginia lost his property to-the amount, we understand, of 96,000, is well calculated to open afresh that vexed question wiiich has more than once threatened the perpetuity of this Union. What are the legal merits of the case we will not assume the province of determining, but such a decision must certainly be at war with the spirit of tha laws and the compromiao.

The New York papers, in their comments differ widely as to the merits of the decision, the Abolition portion of them, among which prominently stand tbe Trifcnne, glorifies over it, whilst the less ultra, view it in a different light We find* rive Mowing, in regard to the decision, in the Courier and Enq "Wo must admit that at the first blush this decision appears to be more than plausible. Just it is not though it is possible that the letter of the law admits no other. It is certainly diametrically op. posed to the spirit of the Constitution and of the recent law passed by Congress upon the subject of slavery. Did its Consequences involve only this aingle cose, it wouhi be of little moment, because it is not possible to make laws which shall be at once just upon general principles and fitted to secure entire justice under all circumstances, and to every individual. But this judgment deprives at a word the citizens of fifteen States of the right to bring to New York what property in their own States even although they have no intention to become even temporarily citizens of New York. It will do more to seperate North and South than any other event which has happened since the birth of our confederation, and will open of once the gaping breaah whioh has but now with so much solicitude been closed. And its influence will reach even beyond this, for if their allegiance to it, may bo denied in one part ofthe Union the rights conferred by their own sovereignty, in spirit, if not in letter, by express legislation of Coftgres#, the citizens of any State may be deprived of any other rights when out of the boundaries of their own State, according to the whim or prejudice of that part ofthe country through whioh they may travel.'1

OCT The DAILY COURIXK of this city suspended publication on Tuesday last. This is the second effort made to sustain a daily issue in this plaoe.— The truth i», there is not a sufficient population in Tarpe-Haute to afford patronage whioh will justify the publication of a daily. There is not enough advertising or Job work patronage, which are the very life and sustenance of a printing offioo, to justify a daily publication. Teixe-Haute is however rapidly approaching and will soon attain that Commercial importance whiolt will reader the pub lioationof a Daily, both pleasant and profitable.— Until that time arrives, our oom inanity should ex tend to their weekly papers a liberal and cordial ^u^urp°rt-

There are two things that cannot &e fwr sboct— THe Ayes bate it so ordered, and encrust and communications for a newspaper tered upon the minutes.

Extend ihe telegraph to California, and we Rave a difference in time between the extreme Eastern and Western portions ofthe Union, which we see estimated as more than three and a half hours.— Even under the most dilatory arrangements, the citizens of San Franoi*co and Sacramento city may learn the result of elections before they have closed their own polls, and this knowledge would thereby enable all who desire to ba on the strong side to vote uuderstandingly! By waiting until 4 o'clock they could learn the result in the Atlantic States, and in- a few moments they could hear from every state east of the Mississippi. In the Presidential electronof 1856, we doubt not, that so perfect will telegraphic communication have besome, that sq^h a result will be certain. Just thinkl The people of California hearing the result of the election before the election in over AVno will say that this ain't a progressive age. are a decidedly fust people, Hurrah for iKe Tele-

*nd the Newspapet ,ti The President Elect. The following interesting and very gratifying

sketch of the character and qualifications of Gen. Franklin Pierce, with the apt allusions to his peculiarly independent position, is from the Boston Transcript, a neutral paper, the editor of which enjoys a personal acquaintance With biin: |i| "Never did a yovpg man enter upon a more splendid career than that which now ope&s to Franklin Pierce. Backed by the almost unanimous support of the entire country, he will! coral nieyce his presidential term, untrammelled by other pledget than those which bis own past acts an3 avowed sentiments have given to the world. A "new man,** he has no troops of personal "clients'* and expectants, who will regard, their

ast services as claims fbr presidential favors.— enters upon the service of ihe country with no reservations pledging him beforehand to the service of individuals. From what we know of the mas we believe he will make an honorable, competent, patrioic Chief Magistrate generous and unselfish in his motives of action independent, magnanimous and liberal in his treatment of opponents vigilant. scrupulous_and industrious in the details of his office led by "no blind guides duped by no kitchen cabinet, and lending himself to no act or policy unworthy of his high aod responsible station."

The Weather, Markets, etc*

There has been some considerable excitement in the Pork markets during the passed week among purchasers. There ha£ been considerable slaugh tering among the packers at this point, but it was partially suspended yesterday owing to the warmth of the weather^ Pork has been firm at $54, and we hear of some engagements at The mar' ket is now very unsettled.

United States Senator.

We announced in our last that Governor Wright, in opposition to a determination pfevious ly expressed, appointed a U. S. Senator in the person of CNASLKS

CATHCART. With Mr. C., we

have no personal acquaintance, but we learn from the Madison Courier that h3 is highly spoken of by those acquainted with him. Mr. Cathcart is farmer and not a lawyer, lie is represer^d as a successful farmer residing on and cultivating farm a fqjr miles from the town of Laporte, which, from its high stale of cultivation, its apple orchards, other fruit, &c., &., has become noted for its excellcnce in that agricultural portion of the State.

From what we have learned in regard to Mr. C., he is a man of respectable talents, and one who will represent the interests of the Stale for the short term for which he has been ejected, at least, faith fully.

Magnetic Telegraph.

One of the most remarkable circumstances' attending the last Presidential election, was the rapidity with which the returns w?re collected, and made known from every poriion of the Union Let it be borne in mind, that the polls closed at o'clock P. M. Now, at Portland, Maine, it did not take more than one hour to count the votes, and the transmission of the intelligence lo New Orleans, and Terre-IIaute was instantaneous But it has been ascertained that there is an hour's difference in time between the two cities first mentioned, therefore at the closing of the polls at New Orleans, they might have known the result at Portland, and other places in or near the same degree of Longitude. We learn that Hon Jesse D. Bright of thisiSiate.addressed the Democracy of Philadelphia on the Evening ofthe Presidential election, and congratulated them, upon their success, rendered oertain by the telegraphic news they had received. On the morning after the election, we issued an Extra from this office, stating beyond a doubt the election of Pierce. Were our telegraphic communications more complete it could have been stated on the evening of the election. These are some of tho wonders of the enchanted wires.

Geo. Pierce's Cabinet—Hon. John W. Davis.

fabinetfollowing

The remarks in regard to the probable of the President elect, we find in the Cum berland Al!eganian,oueo( the most respectable and influential* Democratic Journals in Maryland.- We publish the article in order to show the appreciation in which one of Indiana's most distinguished citi zens, is held in a distant State. It is needless to say, that we fully endorse the sentiments of the ar ticle:

The press of both parties, are taking upon them&elves to point out to Gen. Pierce suitable person* *o fid hw Cabinet. Our Whig friends seem te think that insomuch* a& their platform was repu dialed, and their party annihilated, ia the late con tesii they now belong to the only existing party and are eatitled to all its immunities and privileges The democratic press have had opportunities of acquainting themselves with the character, talents and zeal ofthe distinguished men of their different sections: and hence their advice. But if we rightly appreciate the character of Franklin Pierce, be will not be influenced in the selection of his Cabi net by newspaper paragcaphs or personal importunities. We have confidence that he will choose, as his official advisers, well-tried men, of large calibre and of the "right stripe." Many such have already been named in the newspapers, as for instance, Lewis Cass, James Buchanan. James MMason, R. M. T* Hunter, Gov. Cobb, William Allen, Edmund Burke, &c. The other day a friend suggested theJHon. John W. Davis of Indiana, as a very proper person to fill the place of Post-Mas-ter General. This gentleman we understand, emigrated from this county to the West. He has been Speaker of the House of Representatives Commissioner lo China,—and was President ofthe Democratic National Convention, that nomina'ted Geq. Pierce for the Presidency. He is a Western inan, and from his geographical position, his ex tensive knowledge of the wants and wishes of the American people, and his cool dispassionate judgment, every guarantee is given that through him the expectations of the public would be realized. The Post office Department ought to be filled by ono who has occupied positions, in performance of the duties of which he has given evidence of intellectual capacity. Mr. Davis has been often tried, and in every instance has furnished proof that he is a strong minded efficient man. In viewing the claims, therefore of the many good men to be found in the Democratic ranks, we know of none more worthy or more suitable for the station than Mr. Davis. He is known from one end of tha Union to the other, and is as universally esteemed, and if selected for that department of the Government, no doubt, would exhibit his usual impartiality in the exercise oi the appointing power, as ,we(l,ps all other duties incident to the station.

The Whigs have done better in Balize, Louisiana, at the late Presidential election than in any other place that we have seen. They have exactly doubled their vote since 1848. In that year they polled one vote for^General Taylor,, but this year they have increased it to two.

ARKANSAS.-Wm. K.Sebastian has been re-elect-ed to the Senate of the United States for the term of six years, from the fourth of March, next.

Hon. John Sargeant. an eminent lawyer and statesman of Philadelphia, died at his residence on the 23d inst. He had been a member of Congress and candidate for Vice President wilh Henry Clay in 1832. He was 73 years of ago.

This is the pervading sentiment of the Scott Whigs everywhere at the North. They are, from association, inclination—we may say education as part'sans—not only prepared, but ready to merge with abolitionism and its kindred tarns, and lo beoome sectionalized or niggerized. There is no national ground on whioh they can stand together with their whig bretheren at the South. As a sectional or State party only can ihe Whigs rally or exist anywhere. A national Whig party is an obsolete idea.—Albany Argus.

SMAtL FiNAMciERiNQ.-Thre New York Courier and Enquirer gives the following instance of the money-making faculty "It is strange to what littleness men ill stoop to rob a neighbor in a matter of discount. We have heard of a man who makes it a practice to carry $10 bills on a certain bank, which he buys at 2 percent, discount. He purchases an article lor a tew shillings and receives 99 in good money as change. Adding 91 to the $9, he buys another §10 bill for §9 80—'thus making 20 per cent, on each dollar that he spends."

It is told of a millionaire in New York, that having frequent occasion to ride in omnibusses, he carries coppers in bis pocket, so as to pay six of of them for each ride—thus saving the quarter of a cent, and clearing four cents on every dollar.-

Qerritt Smith has addressed a letter to his constituents. thanking them for his.election, in which ha sets forth his political creed in brief as follows: Np law for slavery—natural right .of man to the soil-—political rights natural and inherent—free iradBr-Hio wars—temgtjrance—all officers, to be elected by the people.

The Journal complains that "the sun has been hid, and the sky overcast with gloomy clouds" ever since tha Presidential election, and intimates that, the great Whig disaster on that day is the cause of it.

And now, though have failed'in my first wish I am sure of my second.*

so was the Native vote, the Catholic vole, the Protestant vote—the North, South, East and West were all against him—and it was impossible, in a democracy, for any man to resist such a decided,and unanimous expression of popular feeling."

An INTELLIGENT HOSSK.—Some years ago, the citizens of Centreville, Indiana, were often amused by the conduct of a horse, when, with others, he was turned into the barn-yard to be watered.

Dr. Aver: Iu ihe month of July last was attacked by a violent diarrha-a iu the mines of California. 1 relumed to Sail Francisco iu hope of receiving benefit from a change of cllmal3 aud diet. My diarrheas ceased, but was followed by a severe cough—und much soreness. 1 finally started for home, but received no benefit from the voyage. My cough contlued to grow worse, aud when 1 arrived in Now York, I was at ouce marked by iny acquaintances as a victim of consumption. 1 must confess that I saw no sufficient reason lo doubt what my friends all believed.-— At thl» time I commenced taking your truly invalnablo medicine with little expectation of deriving auy benefit frotn Its use- Yon would not receive these lines did I not regard it myduly to state to the afflicted, through you, that my health. In the space of eight months, is fully restored. 1 attribute It to the use of your CHERRY PECTORAL.
