yesterday, was Rossenda vs. Zebriski. .
In. c. It involved a sum of about $7000.
The plaintiff had a monarguge on certain
property nf the defenlant for this Rmount.
6or which he sued him in the rirst Judiciar
District Court. The defendant in the
meantitne, filed his petition of baukrupter'
in the Uited States District Court, placing
the mortgaged property on his schedule
of assct. On a hearing or ite petition.
Judge McCaleb enjoined proceedings in
the eatc Court, and ordered that hle Re

and that the mortgaged properiy, in com

Judge Garland read the decision of that
Court yesterday. It sustains the judg

the mortgage be erased in !he manner di

The Bad Luamp.-Trne following inci
denit we relate on tihe anthtori v, tar the old
'sailor, who delivered a Temnperanice lee
ture on board a steambo:at lass Saturday
nighi betwecen New Yosrk and Ndw llav-en.
Having found ai man who was dlivested
of all de-cent clotihina. and in a wretched
state of halth in consequence of dIrinking,
he induced hiam amaidst the discotra:;e
ments of the tavern-keeper, at whose house
he had found haim, to sign the Temnperane
pledge foronc year. -The landlord prophe
sied that he would not keep his pledge a
year, or that if~ae did he would never re
new at. As rte year was coming to a
close, "the old sailor" called upon tthe man
and securedl his signlatture again. H~e signt
ed it for 999 wears, with the priviledge of
a life lease afterwardl! When the day air
rived usp.n which his Airst pledee expired.
he roguishly wer i to visit his old friend the
tavern keeper. "Thbere heo comes," (said
the eager rumn seller,) "heo will hive a
great spree now to pay for his long sasti
neace.". Wheat he arrived at the tavern,
he complained of a bad feelinig at his
stomach, andl of'yarious evi ls,amoog which
was a bad lump om his side, which had
been growing for a nutmber of amonths.
"Aht," said the landlord, '"did I not tell
you it would kill you to h,-eak of drinking
so suddenly ? I wondeh~you lived as long
as you have. Come, what will you sake!"
and'suited the action to the word.he placed
a dicanter before him. "But,'' said the
visiter, '1 hanve signed the pledlge again
for 099 year*, with the privilege of a life
lease after ii."
"What a fool!1" said the landlord; if
'you go on as you have done, you will not
li'e anothier year."
"Do you really think so, landlord ?"
"Certain[g.' Come what will yoo take1"
"Oh, no. landlord;t I have si;:ied the
pledgie aghiu and then this terrible lump
on may side. ide. not-believe that drinka
ing..'till make ii 'any better."
"It i, all," said, the lund lord, "becanse
you left of drinking. You will have a
bigger luwp on the other side before long,
if you contine another year as the last."
"Do fvtu think I will I W~ell then, so be.
it. I will nut violate my' pledge, for laok
here..atdlord, (pulling out a great purse,
with't -hundred dallars inS silver shinliig

which. has boen growing -for uo many

Our Candidates.-We this morning ary
spounce onr candidates fMr the distinguisih
ail offices of President of these Statesiod
Governor of Georgia. to doing so, it is
only necessary to state, that while we
would, in Convention. have deposited onr
vot for Alartin'Van Buren, who, we be
liove, is a pure and enlightened statesman
and entitled to the f1ull confidence of the
Republican Party, whose pfinciplea he
has so ably vustained, we Uow, as we
woul. ,ad we been in Convention, yield
to the expressed will of the majority of our
party, and unfiTrl the standard of Deno
cracy with the caine of John C. Calhoun
inscribed on its field.
We must take a more convenient oppor
tunity to dwell upon the distinguished ser
vices of the late -enator of South Caroli
ra, and his ardent support of the 1idici
pIes identified with the faiit we chejish.
We henceforth support him for t4e Presi.
deucy, willing, however, to return to our
first love,should the National Convention'
"in May next, decree that Mr. Van Buren,
or any other gentleman entitled to their
nomiurtion, shall be the Republican can
didate in 1844.
- in announcing our determination to
rally around the pert.an of rir. Calhoun as
the standard bearer of our cerished prin
ciples. we-should say, that while the ex
l'residnt was our frst choice fur the coti
test a: hand, Mr. Calhoun w'Asouti-ccond',
and conseqiacntly weanticipated she riod
when. if in life, we should, in 14 sup
port him as the successor of ir. Van Bu
ren. The People of-Georgia, through their
)enocratir delegates, have decided other
wiic. Ilurmony of action being essential
in the vindication and idumphant success
of sacred principles, we accord with that
decision, and with a firm reliance on the
justice of our cause; proclaim to time Re
publican, of the Union, our conadence in
John C. Calhoun.
We have reserved but a brief space to
sp-lk of our Gubernational candidate. In
cou.ci.' and in the field, Major Cooper has
been a fzitlhful representative, a gallant
soldier. Can we say less than that one
so pure in patsodem. and so sterling in the
requisites which should entitle a citizen to
the confidence of his. fellow-men, will ro
ceive our cardial suppo,.a
Of Mr. Stark, we shall bave more op
portunity tospeak hereafter. We believe
him weliqualified for the office for whict
his Democratic follow citizens have nomi
nated him.
The folloing remarks of the New
Ranmpshire Gaette bave much sense and
just discrimination in theta. When men
accept the position of' political leaders, it
is, or ought to he. as the representatives of
princip.les-and the party they lead have
far mute right than they, to dictate their
course. When the leadter therefore as
sumnes the absolute righbt of deciding what
he wilt do in given cireumstanees,be makes
his position a matter of mere personal dis
tinctiounand tihe presidemtial contest a mere
persah rivalry. -Charleston Melrcury.
--Mr. Cathoutn has by inuendo been cen
sured by some of the democratic papers
tor answerinag '-warily" as it is termed~the
question of the indiana Convention, "who -
ther he will abide by the decision of a Na
tional Convention if not himself noamina
ted 1" in our view it was not a proper
qucstion to ask any of the candidates. It
wag proper enough to ask their opinions on
national politics, but for-a candidate whose
name had becn brought before the public
hy his friends withouat anty agency of his
o'vr,, to be asked whether be..will abide by
the decision of a coriventinadi( not himself'
ntominatetd is a delicate queszion. Adl
heresnco or non-adherence to such decis
ion, forms no part of his political senti
ments, atud will no more prove him a dem
ocrat than a wig. Goni. Jackson in 1824,
wams run against a regular nomination, and'
obtainied a plurality of votes, and in 1828
w-as eleted without any other nomination
'han the common consent of his friends,
and the concurrence of the people, and no
convention since held has been anything
more than a mere form. For our part
we think any direct affirmative answer
to such a question looks too much like
begging-for. a nomination, and that the
course taken by Mr. Calhoun was the
only modest and dtignified answer that a
candidate could have giveun to such a
question, and of course that he is th, only
one who line answered it as it ought to be.
But why did not the Indiana Conven
tion ask one imure very imipartant ques
iont cernainly not less important than
any one that couldbhave been ptopouuded,
a question which should perhaps of all
othecri be a sine guo non itn regaidfto all the
cantldiates for the@ next prestdencj.
it is this: fs it csnstitittional, or expe
dient, or admissible, 'any event; f'or the
United-State., either by issui'ng stork and
pledging the sale, of the publiiclands for
the interest, or in- any-formn whatever, to
assuine thte paytment or become responsi
ble for the@ debts contracted-by the in Uiv
dual States* respectively ?
This is a question to which we should
liktot see, a plain, flat, and eatergorical
an.erer from every men serbo is' brought
before thegpblic as inomiuee-for the prep
