\V.-‘\R ‘WITH THE UNITED. STATES.
Such an event is not impossible; but we
cannot believe that it will speedily_occur.
Our wish that it should not oc ‘r; may
contribute to our belief; but we shall state
our reasons, leaving every one to judge:
l.—-—'I‘hcre are not sufficient grounds for
war: a piece of barren land on the north-
eastern frontier of the United States, the
habitation of wild beasts on the north-western
frontier beyond the Rocky Mountains. the
arrest and imprisonment of a British subject
in the State of New York, for an alledged
oflimce against the laws ofthe United States
the C.ip'.l‘ll‘L‘. or dctcution,- according to the
Treaty of Ghent, of American‘ vessels alleg-
ed toibe engaged in the slave trade, and
bringing them in for adjudication by Anier-
ican Tribunals, are no sufiicient causes of
war, b(‘I\\’L’€D enlightened nations. There
is nothing in these matters, which may not
be arranged b_y amicable negotiation, or de-
cided bv reference toa third party.
'I‘lie'nnligl1tened men of all countries, and
future historians, will condemn two natipns
so intimately connected by language. institu-
tions, manners, customs and intercourse, if
lllvy go to war upon these or any similar
difficuities.
2.--They will not even have the com-
mon L-'.\1C(lS.e of aggrandizement and gain.
It is not probable that the one can force the
other to _vield.——They rnaytry. indeed, "who
can do the other the most harm.” England
cannotconquerfifteenmillions ofEnglishmen
in North America. The United States can-
not opcrate beyond the Atlantic.
They 7ui;,r!u! add Canada and the other
British‘ Provinces on the mainland of North
/tinericn to the United States, attempting to
reilisca projer-t in which they have been
twice engaged, and failed, “to drive the Brit-
ish C~io\.'eriinieut off the Continent.” But
can they drive the power of that Govern-
ment offthe coast ofthe United States? The

go-3:1 lll'l'.I9l'El‘Ct.llLllnI with a power, mistress
of the Ocean. is of the greatest value to a
people who have risen and thriven by for-
eign trar.le and intercourse. In short for a
neighbor having an interest to‘ cultivate
peace anl good understanding with the U-
nitt-..l States, th_oy would have one with very
little interest of the sort.
3.—-In this supposed war, we give the U-
nit-ed Status complete success in the attempts
in which they have heretofore failed, and
which, we know. is earnestly desired, by
the whole population. But they might fail
again. at the cost of much blood and treasure.
Perhaps, England disengaged from other
wars, no longer sighing for general peace,
a....=.:' nearly a quarter of 8. century of war,
might managethe new war in America bet-
tcr,:1n.l with more perseverance, than the
last. Perhaps her interest in the United
States an’! their in/l.'zenr.e in England, might
have less weight than heretofore. But ivc
cannot think of the horrors ofa war of mere
destruction, inflicting ruin on thousands of
innocent persons, without any reasonable or
practical national good.
Although we do not believe that there
will be war, and deprecate it as one ofthe
greatest scourges, that can be brought on
this vast continent, calling nearly through-
out the whole of it. for the arm of the indus-
tri-Jus, settler, to make it productive, benefit-
tiug iiiznself and mankind. \Ve neverthe-

In the Philadelphia Common Pleas, on Mon-

in bank, the opinion ofthe Court was deliv-
ered by Judge King, on the motion by coun-
sel to quash the proceedings against the
United States Bank, on the ground that the
Bank did not come under, and wasnot liable
to the provisions of the general Banking
Law. The opinion was very voluminous,
occupying six of the huge columns ofthe In-
quirer, but it will suffice to observe that the
Court decided, that the Bank did not come
under the provisions of the General Banking
Law, all disputes which arose concerning
its liabilities were to be refered to the pro-
visions of its charter f)I' settemeut.

VIRGINIA.
The Virginia legislature adjourned on
Moriday last. There was considerable fer-
mentation among the members during the
clay for the following reasons: Governor
Gilmer, on Saturday. without any previous
notice resigned his office. On that morning
many of the members had retired to-their
homes, but the moment that the Governor’s
resignation was read Expresses were im-
mediately dispatched in all directionsto bring
back the loco foco members. Enough -re-
turncd to give that pa ty a majority. and
they forthwith passed a law changing the
time of the commencement of the guberna-
tional term, and a resolution was offered
proceeding forthwith to the electionfof aGov-
£‘l'n0l'.-~'.[lll(! l.Vhigs remonstrutod btxrcotzld
not change the purpose of the locus in that
way. It so happened that Monday was the
last day of the session, as a joint resolution
had previously passed both Houses, agree-
ing to an adjournment on that day. Noth-
ing remained then for the whigs to do’ butto
talk against time until the hour of adjourn-
ment should arrive-—and they therefore took
the floor until evening when the lokeys
finding it was no use for them to persist in
cramming a minority Governor down the
throats ofthe people, by such a trick as they
l1‘l(I attempted, and seeing also that the Whigs
were every moment receiving accessions to
their numbers, they at length consented to a
postponement of the election to a more suita-
ble occasion.-—-New Hm.-en Palladium.

perceive that governor Call has been re-
appointed to the post he held under Gen.
J-ackson,and from which he was removed by
him who promised to tread in the footsteps
of his illustrious predecessor; nor will the
inhabitants of Florida be less gratified at this
judicious and meritorious appointment, a-
part from the well known and highly es-
teemed character of Gov. Call. The con-
duct of Ex-Govenor Reid in the difliculty he
"had at Talahasse would be sufficiehtcause of
gratification at the change.
Virginia and New York.-—\Vc have
been permited to examine Gov. Patton’s let-
ters to Gov. Seward,surrendering the fugitve
Curry to the demand of the latter, and we
shall spread it before the country on Mon-
day. While it recognizes the right of New
York, and complies with that right, to de-
mand the surrender of a ftigitive from her
justice, itjinsists in the strongest terms upon
the reciprocity ofthe consitutional obligation.
It abaies no jot or title ofthe rights of Vir-
ginia, but on the contrary, urges them with
increased and irresistable force. We are
much deceived if Gov. Patton's letter does
not command a high degree of popular ap-
probation. .
- We are sincerely, and we think most ra-
tionly in the hope that the conduct of Vir-
ginia, ifit does not avail to sober down Gov.
Seward, will command the approbation of
the People of New York. prevail with them,
in addition to their previous preposscssions
to procure the justice to which we are enti-
tled. It boots not now by what means this
question has become st.-rious. ‘ It has become
serious, and we trust the people of New
York will compel their Governor so to re-
gard it. .VVhile resting alone with Gover-
nor Seward, we would not consent, for one,
to‘ regard him as the State, and his action as
that of the people ,- but it has now assumed
a difierent aspect, and we call upon New
York to put down faction by recognizing
her constitutional obligation, and doing, not
as she would, but as she has been done by.

OUR. CONGRESS TICKET.
The men in nomination before the Har-
rison party of this state, have all been tried
and found faithful. The Whigs are unanim-
ous in the sentiment that both their talents
and political principles, demand their re-elcc-
tion. The misreprescntation which Locofo-
coism has sent to our National Councils
from the ‘land ofsteady habits,’ has already
suflicieutly disgraced our good name, derang-
ed our business, and injured ourtrue inter-
ests. The day of another contest is at hand.
Our enemies are marshrilled in the field
against us. At the polls one week from
next Monday, they are to be met. Let every
Whig be at his post, armed whith ballots
and arguments. Leave no point unguarded.
Be especialy watchful of the Congress box,
-and let no VVhig neglect to put in his vote.
Remember the importance of one vote. Re-
member the evils of past misrule. Remem-
ber the honor of Connecticut. Remember
her pledges to, ‘Harrison and Reform.’ Re-
member political honor, truth, and justice.
Remember that Locofocoism can never pre-
vail in this State, except from Whig apathy.
Remember that wehavela healthy majority
in every District. And finaly remember to
be punctual at the polls on the morning of
the 5th of April. Then will you avoid the
disgrace of defeat from Locofocoism, and do
your part towards sustaining the new admin-
istration, by ensuring a Harrison represen-
tation in Congress from Connecticut.

The Albang/ Bridge Qucslion.—VVe have
been somewhat surprised, even in view of th_c__
excitable nature ofour people, at the carnesti
uess and even acrimony with which the ex-
pediency of allowing the City of Albany to
erect a Bridge over the Hudson opposite
that City is argued, pro andcon, by _the jour-
nals throughout this State. \Ve are some-
what acquainted with the factions means}_',re-
sorted to on both sides to procure signatures
to petitions and otherwise manufacture and
shape public opinion ; but realy, this vehe-
mence ofdiscussion strikes us as bordering
on the absurd. Albany wants a Bridge over
the Hudson to accommodate the several
Rail roads from the East and South which
are about to terminate on the opposite banl.
of the River; 'I‘roy, having a very good
Bridge ofher own. furiously protests against
the erection of another at any pointbelow it,
and offers Albany the privilege of crossing on
her Bridge (paying the usual toll) whenev-
er the River is otherwise impassable. Al-
bany replies that this is very kind, but not
exactly convenient, since it compels her to
take a circuit of fourteen miles over indif-
ferents roads to make a progress of balfa
mile. So far all is quite natural and busi-
ncss-like. But when we hear it said that a
Bridge fifty-two feet above the surface of the
water and seventy feet between the nearest
abutrnents ofthe arches, havinga wide draw
to accomodate all niasted vessels—when we
hear that such a Bridge opposite Albany
is likely to ruin the connnerce and business
of Troy, we-feel confident that the men who
talk thus are not in their senses. They are
laboring under hallucination—-a monomani-.
ac excitability upon which they will one day
look back with ainazeinent.——NlYorkcr.
fVIm-e Rails at Kensinglon-—-On Monday-
night, between one and two thousand people.
assembled near the stone bridge at Kensing-'
ton, and destroyed several hundred feet o.f
the road between the bridge and the depot.
The right to use the road through that dis-'
trict was granted to the Philadelphia and
Trenton Rail Road Company for a consid-
eration for a number of years. It appears
that the time has expired, and the people.
thinking a legal process quite too tardy, pro-'-
ceeded to destroy what many ofthem consid-
ered nuisance. Hitherto they have prevented-
the Company from laying ;the rails on the
new route, and now they have begun’ the
demolition ofthe old one. Emboldened by
their former success, they are pow entering
upon new attrocities. As this part of the
city does not come under the jurisdiction of
Pliiladelphia, and the police there being in
efiicient, unless some special effort of the
citizens is made, they are, or will be, in a
state of anarchy, and liable to be ridden over
roughshod by a lawless lmob.

Sentence ofRabinson.-—-'l'his person was
brought into Court on Thursday at 12 o'clock
M. by dircctionof the bench to receive his
sentence. . On being asked by the Chief Jiis-
tice if he had any thing to say why the
judgement ofthe law should not be pronoun-
ced against him, he with complete indiffer-
ence replied, “ I have nothing to say.” The
Chief Justice then, with great feeling and
solemnity addressed him, concluding as fol-
lows, “Peter Robinson—_-it is considered &
adjudged by the Court that you be taken
hence to the place from which you came,
and be there kept in close confinement until
Friday the 16th of April next, and on that
day, between the hours of ten a‘iid two o’clock
that you be banged by the neck until you
are dead! and may God have mercy on
vour soul.” .
During the delivery of the sentence an
at its close, while the whole audience were
moved with feeling, and many affected to
tears, the prisoner preserved the great: st
composure and indifference. He confessed,
it is said, to one of his counsel before the
trial, all the ‘particulars of the murder.
The counsel for the prisoner, says the
Newark Advertiser, informedthe _Co.urt that
they intended to petition to the Chancellor
for a writ of Error to remove the case to the
cm reine Court for the decision upon the le-
ga objections talrcn by them to the indict-
ment: but as this is a writ of grace, not of
right, and as it is understood that the Chan-
cellor usually consults the Supreme Court
before allowing it, there appears to be no
reason to fear that the just sentence of the
law will be suspended.

times that of Venus, and its splendor was so

flushed out altitude ll degrees, azimuth, 8,
B8 W. Just before its disappearance it
jseemedt o explode, and one observer listen-

,ivhich, as he thought resulted from this ex-
jplosion. The meteor’s motion was slow ;
the time of its visable flight occupying five
peconds. \Ve_ hope that observers in Strat-

Tm-: ELi—:c'rioN.—In view ofthe importance
of the coming election, we have deemed it ex-
pedient again to allude to the subject, and urge it
upon the serious attention of every one who is.
or has a right to be, an elector. That there
should be a relaxaiion of feeling-a repose, after
such a long continued and adent struggle as that
through which we havejust passed, is natural.
The feeling. however, that now prevails, is
something more than a_ slate of rest. It is, if
we do no mistake the signs ofthe times. a state
of fancied security. under the impression that
the victory is won and the contest ended—ihai
there is now nothing’ more to do but to sit down
in efleminate ease and enjoy the fruits of our
triumph. Iftbis is so—if we are correct in mi}
estimate-it is a false securiiy—a most fatal de-
lusion. How often have the most brilliant vic-
tories been tarnished or lost, by an unexpected
rally of a defeated foe. while the victors were
reveling in this very false security which seems
to have taken possesion of our forces. Our en-
emy isa restless o_ne-ever vigilant-with shrewd-
'ness enough to discover our week parts and turn
them to the best account. Goaded by disap-
pointment and the loss of the spoils of office.
their ingenuity will be put to the rack to regain
their lost ground or to check the march of reform.
and to arrest the execution of those measures
which are to bring the country back to a lane of
healthy prosperity. The coming election de-
rives ils chief importance from the fact that six
members of Congresssare to be chosen—involv-
ing. the question—sha|l Connecticut be repre.
sealed by the late de_legaiion—all of whom are
again in nominat'.on—men who, during the last
congress, maintained the honor and interests of
the state with energy and faithfulnes, and earn-
ed for themselves a proud reputaiion,—or shall
nal vigilance is" the price of liberty,” and_
the Slate be min-represented, or not represented
at all, -by a delegation of loco focos, whose am-
bition ii will be to continue the-evils under which

is a consideration worthybfaccount.
Our sIaie' government, too. requires that wok
should, be up and doing. We have to elect 1
Governor. Lieut. Governor, Treasurer. Secre-
tary and Comptroller. Why should we. then,
by our inaction expose our own, and the inter.

addressed a circular to the heads ofthe vayiouo
departments at VVashington, informing them,
that, while it is not intended that any officer
shall be restrained in the free and proper ex-
pression and maintenance of his opinions rc-
speciing public men or public measures, dire ctr

agents in the public service, that partisan in-

or government officers, and for whomsoever or
against whomsoever it may be exercised, or IIIG
payment of any contribution or assessment are
salaries or ofiicial compensation for party or
election purposes, will be regarded by the Preuv
ideal as a cause of removal.
This is one ofthe exploded notions of Tom
Jefferson which fell into disrepute and become
obsolete ten or twelve years ago. The Demo-
cracy urihis country will never submit to such
federizl humbugry.
The document will be foued on the out side.
Dining the siorm of Tuesdiy the 23.1 inst,
the house. .and a shop adjoining, belonging to
Mr Thomas Mead, in the north west part of
New Canaan were struck by lightning and ma-
terially injured. A correspondent says the
fluid descended the house and shop chimuies at
the some time. The family, consisting of Mr
Mead, his wife and two children, were in the
shop. One ofthe children was stunned, and
the other somewhat scorched on the side ofthe
face. Mrs. Mead was knocked down. her face
blisiered, her hair burm,&-. her comb thrown some
distance from the house. The fluid seems to
have come up through the floor under Mr M.
tearing the sole from his boot and laying his
foot open at lire heel. Fears are entertained
that he will not recover. Every window,and
window sash in the house, with one or two ex-
off. and one of the sills was torn out nearly the
whole length. The stove wasthrown out ofiti
place, an the pipe scattered and somewhat melt-
ed. The floors in two rooms were mostly torn
up and a great part of the furniture destroyed.
In a closet in one corner, where knives, forks,
crockery, dbc were kept, everything excepting 9.
teapot was thrown out, injured and destroyed.
Mr. Wm. Trench, otherwise known at the
east as Deacon Trench, and by his old com-
peers as Baron Trcnck, has succeeded Gad of
the Norwich Aurora in the management ofibat
notorious and nauliating affair.
Mr Van Bureu, was met in the city of New
York by his political friends.on Tuesday of last
week, welcomed and congratulated on his retire-
ment. The New Haven Palladium facetiously
observes. that business of ihatsort should have
been left entirely to the whigs. There is little
doubt but that they would have entered intotbo
work with such a spirit and heariiness as to leave
the mind of the ex-president entirely free from
doubt or suspicion ou,the score of its sincerity.
