.TIseflutseoiks. Correspondence of tha Albany Argus. FRO31 LOCKPORT-McLEOD. LocKPRT March, 22. The March term ofrthe Court of- Oyei and Teriniftihe Ciouniy sho'uld hAve been held this week,. commencing this morning. On the o e-ing of the Court, Judge Dayton directed the _flerk not to call the Jury, deciding at the same time not.tokhold the Court in conseqence of an informality, or rather a material error of theC'lerk, in giving but five instead of six days notice of the drawing of the Jury forwthe term. AcLe6d was arraigned,and pleaded not guilty to the indictment against him. His counsel, Messrs. Gardner and Brad ley, then moved the Court for two com missiotus to issue-one for the examina tion of Mr. Webster, Secretary of State, and M3r. Fox, the British Minister at Washington-the other to examine M'Nab' and others, in Upper Canada. This was granted, with' the condition that the peo ple mightjoin in the commission. An application was then made to the Circuit Judge to allow a certiorari to re move the cause from the Oyer and Ter miner to the Supreme Court on an affida vit setting forth some of the circumstances of the ofence charged to have been com mitted, and that difficult and complicated question of law would arise on the trial. The counsel urged that at the Oyer and - Terminer, the presiding Judge might be overruled by the county Judges, and that it was proper in this ense, for that reason, that this cause should be tried in the Cir cuit Court rather than i' the Over and Terminer. The Circuit Judge declined allowing the certiorari upon that ground, as there was no allegation of improper bias, on the part of the county Judges, and our statute has provided the means of correcting any error in the proceeding of the Oyer and Terminer, by a bill of exceptiors. The counsel asked for time to add an affidavid in relation to the excitement which had existed in the county upon the sulbject, and the reasons why it was be lieved a fair trial could not be had. This was granted, and the Court adjourned over to the afternoon,-to give an opportu nity to serve the writ if allowed. During the interiission the affidavits were prepared. the certiorari allowed, and served on the Court on their going in, in the afternoon. This gives MeLeod's coun sel an opportunity to move the Supreme Court to change the venue to some other county. Yours, &c. "THE DELUSION." We find-in President H arrison'sInaugu ral a most extraordinary admission of what is beginning to be pretty clear to- a-great - many -of those'who were cheated, but what we did not expect to hear so openly acknowledged by the General himself, or his partisans yet awhile-we mean the fact that he was elected by "delusion." Hear him: Althouigh the fiat of the people has gone forth, proclaiming me the Chief Magist rate of this glorious Union, nothing upgn their part remaining to be done it may be'thought - i~nunaer- e . to haveaeted in relation to my principles and opinions." This is the very thing the Democratic party have said : that the people were de luded, that is, according to the dictionary meaning of the word, cheated into the elec tion of President Harrison :-for saying so, we have been vehemently abused hy the Whigs, and now here is the adamssron of the fact in the Inaugural they so much laud. The people have been deluded not in relation to his "principles and opinions," for of these there were none exposed, hut by promises of reform, economyl, prospenity, and belter times, which were to have fol lowed immediately on the heels of the Whig victory. Where has thc reforrm been commenced I in what has their cconomy been practised ? Where is the general prosperity -where the abundance of muon oy and better times promised ? Presidett Harrison knows that it was all a "dIelusion." and a good many honiest men whto were deceived, are beginning to b~e of the same opinion.-We'sternt Carolinian. ABOLITION NOVEL We have beeni surprised to meet, in this comm unity,. with ,l~iss .larlineau's fihItbyj Abolition 'Novel, entitled1 "Te fHour and the Man,"' awl founded Ott the insutrreet ont in St. Doingo. Cant it he possible, thai it is for sale at our JBookstores, or an', Bookstore at the South ? We trust not. - We have had the opportunity oIf r.-'inrg but very little of it, yet quite enough to shew its character, and satisfy us that they might just as wvelt disseminate among uts the incendiary maissiles of A rthur Tappamn and his bloodhound crow, as the foul, false, and filhy scenes and doctrines of this vile and mischievous work, dressed up as they are in all the specious and delusive attrac tions of a modern-trashy Novel! it is but just to say, that if either of the Booksellers here, has this mischievous work, wve feel assured he has not read it, and is wholly unacquainted with its char acter; and that we doubt not he will, on making himself acquainted with it, send it back to the publishers, wvith instructions, never to send such a work to hima again, if they wish to retain his custotm.-South Carolinian. Profession and Practice.-T here is noth ing against which the Federal party, have been accustomed to exclaim more violent ly-nothiing which they have aff'ected tc condemn with greater indignation than the * appointment of muembers of Congress te office. Gen. Harrison himself took occa sion to express his disapprobation of the practice last summer, and all his leading prints then agreed that it was monstrous an abuse which the pure old patriot wouk reform if he got into power. - Well, thil was their doctrine before the election, novi let us see what has been their practici asnee. Out of six members of the new Cabinet four were taken from Congress; IWebste and Crittendent from the Senate ;and Gran ger and BeLl from the House. How ma ny more will be rewarded wvith foreig rnissionls and other appointments, time ha ~...how Th. start1 it must he admittad is certainly a very pretty and cousisteni one. Perilous position of Louis Pkillipe.-- 'he driver of a Paris omnibus, dwelling near the Biarriere -lu Combat, was lately found hanging in his room. Informed of tihe fact, a commissary of police repaired promptly to tiie spot, aind, finding all ttempts to. re store animation ineffectual, proceeded to seetre the effects and search the person of the unhappy deceased. In one of his pock ets he discovered a written docuniiint' by which the coachman declared that. boing enrolled in a secret society, his turn had taken place by lot to kill the King, but that fluding himselfunequal to the commission of such a crime, he had determined to fin ish his existence. The superior authorities have taken this startling case in hand, and serious npprehensions are entertained of the confederacy whose existence has been thus awfully divulged.-Paris paper. CASE OF CTURRY.-VIRGINIA AND NEW YORK. The New York Controversy-- Resigna tion of Gov. Gilner.-The Legislature vas completely taken by surprise Saturday, by the resignation of Gov. Gilmer, which was sent into the two Houses on that day. This 'was induced by his unwillingness to conform to the opinion of the Legislature, erpressed in a resolution adopted and sent to him early Saturday morning, that Cur ry, the fugitivc from the Justice of New York ought to be surrendered to the Gov ernor ofihat State, who had demanded him. Gov. Gilmer had taken the ground, as was stated Saturday in our paper, that he was in duty bound to refuse to comply with the demand of Gov. Seward until he should comply with a similar demand previoutsly made upon him by the Execu tive ofVirgiinia.--Richmond Comn. Mar. 22. We are as much surprised at the resig nation of Gov. Gilmer, mentioned iii tle above paragraph, as the Virginia Legisla ture are stated to) have been. We are of opinion that the Legislature are right and the Governor wrong. We appreciate the feeling by which ho was moved, and con cede that it would have been hut an ecquita able enforcement of the lex talionis to have refused to surrender the luitive from New York justice :-but then Vir'inia would have violated her constitutional obligationi by such a relation, and committed the ve- I ry breach for which she and the rest of the South are about to punish New York. It is besides unnecessary to resort to such minormteasuresof mere retaliation iu which I New York ivould under the circumstances I have ail advantage. Virginia lids - with I deliheration and firminess Provided a better mode ofredress. in -the act recently passed -a strictly'Conslitutionul act, which will we trust, reach the evil-and compel New York to retrace her steps; a nd if not lei se verer measures be adopted. The grand issue between the North aid the South on this question cannot bejoined too soon, and it is better that it should not be embiarrassed I and the public mind diverted from it, by minor collissions.-Charleston Mercury.

We give below a portion of his spechl, as published ini the whlig newspapters. It will be seeni that lhe not ordly dentounces the Abolitionists in nearly every form of spieechi, but speaks also for one ofrthe muem bers of his Cabinet, eveni Mr. Fnaacis GRANoER, the Representative in Conm gress from this Distrist. And at the request of that gentleman, hie states thatt Mlr. Gran ger "is not only NO ABOLITIONIST, but he should expect him (Gen. H.) to eject him from office if he should ever bc come one!" Now, Mir. Granger either did, or did tnot, authorize this declaration by Gen. Harrison. If he did, it is a denti al, as htas been wvell said, "evincing equal itngratittide and etl'roniterv." M1r. Gran ger has for years courted, claimed and re ceived the support of the Abolitinnists of this county. and to their voites is he indebt ed for the seat he nowv holds in Congress. Is it possible, then, that he has so soon forgot his obligations to his Abolition con' suituents in this county, whose association he has courted and claimed--of whose rights he has claimed to be the especial champion on the floor of Congress-whIo Ihas represetnted himself as the victim of Spersecution for the stand taken by him in ,defence of Abiolition petitions-who told the people of this county that lie might have been Vice President of the U. States ,in 1836, if lhe had'nit been so mauch of an r Abolitionist?-has lie so far forgotton all - this as to repel the " possibility of his be - ing ant Abolitionist" as anm imputation upon 2his character dematnding instant conltra a diction?

If Mr. Granger has sflid a]t is 4%iai stooped low indeed.. If ho has t-if these words have bfeen put into hi 'uth by Gen.

" slight error," into which you had fallen is relation tothe authorship of the "Address" - from the Sharpe-street Baptist Church, in-. Baltimore; you have, I fear, fallen into a greater one, in reference to her estimable -Pastor, Rev. S. P. Uill. In your article, "Error Corrected," afterstating that "the Sharpe-street Church are too scrupulous to allow the Southern Delegates, the use of their placce of worship," you add, "A tolerable explanation of this circumstance, may perhaps be found in the fact, that tliz Pastor of said Church, and the reputed" writer of the Circular, is a New England man." If I am correct, in my apprehension or your meaning in this sentence, it is, that, you are of opinion, the refusal of the hosse was occasioned, by a too great regard, or' respect, for the Abolitionists, and their cause. If so, I am sure you will be gratr fled to have your "error corrected," and to contribute to the correction of it in others, by giving publicity to this communication, in the columns of the Recorder & Watch wan, I therefore send you the following extract. omthletter BiggeHilIqP i pleasure of receiving your kinTdett'V, wh- - the accompanying resolutions of youroon-. vention, two or three days since, for which I am greatly obliged to you. Permit me to say, that [ like the spirit anid 'design of the resolutions, and shall be happy to give them publicity. With regard, however, to the use of our House, agreeably to the re quest and appointment of the Convention, though to grant it, would I am sure, be a gratification to us all, yet owing to the stand takenl itn our letter, a copy of which I will transmit to you with this, I doubt. whether it would be consistent for us to do so." " We, all of us to a man, dimap-. prove as strongly as possible of the spirit and measures oftie A bolitionists, and I be lieve the whole Northern section of the Church, with the exception of these few tmisguided menl, does the same." You w-ill now see, my Brother, that Brother Hill, though "a New England man," has not fallen into the mistake of tile A bolitionists of that region. Trhis worthy Brother is mentioned in no very favorable manner, in the Reflector, - of 30th Decr., 1840. the closing sen tence of an article in th'M strong A bolition Periodical, headed Stephsen P. Hill, the writer says, "lie," S. P. Hill, of Balti more, "lives abouthalfway from the North o the South, another recreant sen of the North." And all this because,in a visit to the South some years ago, he wrote favorably. >f the cotndition of the slaves, and in the addlress from his Church, which the wri er supposes Brother Hill wrote, the right fa Church to agitate the "political" luestion of slavery is denied. Brother Jill in the same letter, from which the bove extract is takenl, informed me, that, I conversbation with some brethren of the ialvert-street Church. in Baltimore, they frormed him, that a similar meeting, to at, which we had recommended, was mntemplored to bo held in Rtichmond, on e same day. On this information, I im ediately wrote to Brother Taylor, of ichimond, givitng him the information re ived from Brother Hill, and requested m to consult with Brother Jeter, on the oprnety of having our preparatory meet ; at Washington. rather than at Rich md, if wye could not have the privilege of House at Baltimore. He, 0n consulta n with Brother Jeter, wrote to Brother4 lams, of Calvert-street Church, Balti re, to ascertain whether there would be y objection to the occupancy of their meting House for the Southern Brethren - d received for answer, "that should eh ameeting edeemed.t.,-. s..:-s,
