Tn a late number of the Indiana (laKette we observe the decision of the supremi court respecting tbe constitution iHty of the law of this state, which de Clares that every applicant for sdmission at the bar if my court within the state, bJmUI BM4l outlt that he had not, withm a

a certain period, fought, nor had b en acCessary to fighting a duel ; and that during the existence nf his licence as a counsellor or attorney, he will not fight a duel, nor will he be an accessary to this B tn quinary method of settling disputes. Th i mat II. filuk -, who, it appears by his " !i confession as well as by Other testi monv, had fought a due l vrithin the time ptescribed by law. and Who had been refused admittance into the minor courts in consequence of his refusing to take the oath required applied to the ju Iges of the supreme court, at a late session held in Coydon, for admission into that court as a practising attorney I he plea of mr. Make w as, 6 have understood tin t the law of which he complained was unconstitutional that the representatives of the people were not authorised by paramount law to enact it and that, therefore, it was not obligatory. The supreme court, the highest tribunal in the state have solemnly declared 'hat the law is constitutional that those rhO enacted it, were need to do so and refuse Blake a a practising attol court. We wish here, the curtaim Sr conceal from public view the conduct of a man whom fame had more than a year since, taught us to admire. Immediately af'er the decision of the Supreme COUtt i t the ease of mr. hlake, JOXVrnw JENIVINGS governor of the state of Indiana, in Contempt of the law enacted by the legislature (for the pass ge of which, by the bye, he is rep esented to have been a warm advocate) and in d. fiance of the opinion ol the supreme COUrt, had made out and actually signed a commission for this same Thomas II Blake as presiding judge in the. first circuit. To the personal friends of governor Jennings, this unprecedented conduct has been matter of astonishment With us, however, it has I ho Other effect than to impress on our mind more fuilv the belief, that u Mtttt, fitoud etrettti in a Ziffle hri-f an fiori'u. Plans surh fantastic tricks bf re high If arm, M An thttkrt teti Aftgttk re fitfli That mr. 'enningB and his fiiends may successfully conduct his defence at the bar of the public, w o certainly can have no objection but the faCti arc so glaring and so unblttShiugly have they been avowed, that we fear all the talent by which he is surrounded, will be insufficient to rescue him from that fate, which in our opinion, he merits political oblivion. FROM T H K SAME, Mr Ptlnttt The newspapci is the channel through which we ireci ive inu '- licence of passing events : also ol communicating to others the opinions we have formed as the result of our refha. tioits Upon the causes and consequences of those events In perusing the Indiana eftlf, Ncn 83, I learn ! hat an attempt has been made to destroy the force of the law ol this state entitled ' An act more effectually to prevent duelling' by calling in question the constitutional right of the gi n nil asst wbly to enact such a law thcitbv intending to thaw from the court S decis ion Which would Indirectly impeach the judgment or integrity ol both houses of the Legislature and the governor of the State ; :s the former had almost unanimously passed the law, and the latter had hot bftly considered themselves authoiisid so to do, as will appear from his not exercising his constitutional right (as it was his indispensable duty w tloajLhe t!"ue;ht (tie; wise in placmgisWPo Upon it, but from his otVu ial conmniySktion made to the general asscnioTyee the journal if It 16-1 7) he approved of the provisions it contained. Iut I really am pleased to hear, that notwithstanding all the eloquence of Mr. Tahhi eropto) cd on this occasion the rourt were u nanimoutl) of opinion with the other two branches of government. Such hatmotty ol thinking m the tlu-ee co.ordmate branches, must gite to the people of Indiana confidence m ( aeh, and false in their minds their expectation that thcr laws will be strictly adhered to.

Major Benjamin Birdsall, of the U S. army, was shot at Albany, N.
