the 17. States," the currency in which ^ Mississippi hound herself to make payment. If this objection were honestly made, why not offer payment in dollars or eagles, which are current money of the U. States/ Had this been done, and such payment been refused, then would there be plausibility in the objection.? But it is alleged by tfie Governor that four shillings and six pence is too high a valuation of the dollar. This might he an excuse for refusing to pay tl?e excess over the true value, but is surely no good reason for refusing to pay the whole debt. 2 Another of tht* Oovbfnor's objections to paying the bonds is that they were sold on a credit, bearing iriterfest from the day of sale; which was etjiiiValerit to selling them below par; a thing forbidden by law. This might with some plausibility be urged against paying interest for the short time which elapsed before the purchase money was paid ; but how can it excuse a refusal to pay the debt? He is surely a rogue who would seek shelter under such a plea, or who could offer an excuse for him who makes the plea. 3 A third objection stated by the Governor is that the purchase of the bonds by Mr. Bidple was not for himself, hut for the U. S. Bank of Pa., and that the purchase was made in his own name, only to evade a provision in the charter of that Bank prohibiting it from dealing in state slocks. The purchase of the bonds w as therefore, savs his Excellency, a fraudulent transaction, wh?ch vitiates the contract, and discharges the State from her obligation to pay the imnds. This objec lion comes rather late. Had it been made at the time of the contract, and the f purchase money been refused, then might* the state refuse payment of the bonds without the deep disgrace whicit she now brings upon herself and the country. But says Gov. McXutt, "The money paid for these bonds did not come into State Treasury." True; but how can #!.?* >(tiuii ilia liolnlitif nf llin Shite t mm rauw.i IIIC iinoiui i <11 ?iv <v.<..v . The money went just where it was the purpose of the Slate, and where the State directed that it should go, into the vaults of her bank. It was not the business of those who were lending the money to in. quire what the State intended to do with it. If she thought proper to misapply it are those from whom she borrowed it to he the losers on that account ? In borrowing money from them did she constiatitute them her guardians, and does she now deem them responsible for her spend, thrift follies? Is the obligation of a negotiable paper cancelled by its passing, in some illegal transaction, from one jierson to another ? The traffic with slaves is illegal in this State. Now suppose a hank hill to he passed in such traffic, would this release the hank from its obligation to pay the hdl, into whatever hands it might afterwards fall. Or suppose a fugitive from ??oe i Imrilf Kill in nnvmpnt of JUMUT IU >1 1/11 nrv It. J.-.. | ferriage, would this lie a valid plea for j the hanks refusing to pay t!ie hill when j subsequently presented hv another person ? It would if the Mississippi doctrine he correct. 4 A fo.irlli re a son assign's I hv Gov. Mc.V. against piving the bonds is that the constitution of the slate forbids pledg ^ iug its credit for the pnvmont of anv loan, unless the law for that purpose is first passed by both branches of the Legislature, is then published, and again passed by a Legislature elected after its publication; and this formality was not observed in regard to the law und?r which the present bonds were issued. The law, it is said, is therefore unconstitutional. It is a remarkalm feature in this shameful transaction, that the very man who urges this reason, admits, in the very publication in which he urges it, that he himself* as Governor of the State, signed this un. constitutional bill "in obedience to the public xrill" although t e constitution j ? - r*_ .1 1 allowed mm to veio n. n** (lien actii. led the bonds and passed them over itn the hank for the purpose of being sold. Was there ever more barefaced swindling, or a more impudent avowal of it? The state issues bonds in violation of its constitution and then pleads this wrong in bar to the collection of these Sbonds. It obtains money by false pretences, and then pleads the very falseness of its own pretences as an excuse fornot refunding the money. In all this swindling transaction the same individual was at the head of the State, and a leading agent in the affair; and now he has the impudent effrontery publicly to avow the facts over his own signature. He savs, too, that a majority of two thirr.s in each branch of the State Legislature sustain him, and adds moreover as follows: " I tk,,i fn?f n/* flip TlPflTlIp of this State prefer going to tear to paying the bonds." This is the first, or at most, the second instance of any meinUer of the Confederacy repudiating her own fiuth ; but it is an ominious fact that all condemnation of it bv the public press is confined to one of the great political parties into which -the country is divided. All the papers of the other party which we have seen, from the Washington Globe down, so far as they have expressed a?.y opinion at all, approve the course taken by Missis, jiippi. We say, the course taken hy her; for we suppose from the statement published by her Governor, as well as trom the issue upon which her late election turned, that she has determined upon her -course. I | Judgd Gantt has resigned his sent on I the bench. In a well written, though s brief, letter of resignation, he states that 4 . ^ his purpose of resigning was made knbwn ( to his friends at the beginning of the Ses- ( sion. Whtin his letter of resignation was r read in the House, Mr. Riieet moved ( I the following resolutions : . ' Resolved, That the Legislature fippre- i i ciate highly the motives \Vhich hare indu- 1 ced the Hon. Richard Grantt to resign i the office of n Law Judge. t Resolved. That as a testimonial of their ( regard for his person, and their estimate r Of his long and faithful public services, i one year's salarv of thirty-five hundred t dollars, he appropriated for his use, and be ( paid to Him at tho adjournment of the i Legislature. .

I The first and third of these teSinlutions | nassprl unanimously : and the second, l)V : r ' # J a vote of 84 to 26.

It will be seen by reference to the ah. i struct of the proceedings in the House of ' Representatives, that the committee to ' whom had been referred so much of the , Governor's message as recommends n i change in the manner of trying slave?, i charged with capital offences, reported against the change; and that the Houseby a decided majority sent back the re I port, with instructions to reverse it. It is ; a reproach to the character of the state ' that the present mode of trying slaves ' was ever adopted, and especially that it , has been continued so long. The stair i 1 ? ?v.

We copy from the correspondence of the , Charleston Courier a paragraph giving i some account of the debate on the subject I in the House. i Columbia, Nov. 27. , The elections of Treasurer and Com p. , troller General have resulted, as nrilicipa- ( ted in a former cominunic.nlion. The * principle of alternating these two offices | has been so decidedly rebuked, that our ( esteemed and worthy townsman found it difficult to be elected Comptroller. We should not he surprised to have a hill rendering these two offices im-lligihie after (, one term. The office of Comptroller is j regarded as a chock upon the Treasurer: ! f not when the officers of these two offices j j, alternate successively, or for \oars the j $ object and intent of the. law is defeated, j j In 'he House, the Committee to which | was referred that portion of the Govern, j <>r's Message recommending the trial of 1 slaves to he held the nearest Court House*! by a magistrate and 12 freeholders, report, j a od unanimously, it was inexpedient.?

In one district a stud s horse was exhibited at a gathering of the ? people, and an individual approaching too ^ near, received a kick, of wluch lie suhse- | j quently died?the horse was thereupon fl ! arrested and tried for murder?convicted i 1 and executed. Other cases equally ludi- | {crous were cited to induce the house to ' j recommit, tho subject, with instructions j to the Committee to report by bill?which i course finally prevailed. Dr. Myers who c very frequently refreshes the house with . }| clever sayings, hinted that the effect of s I the above recommendation might give t employment to some of the idle lawyers , a that infest the several Court Houses, ; while it would put to serious inconve- j t nience the property and planters who J ^ were compelled to transport their slaves , some 50 or 60 miles to a Court House.? ( He thought the best remedy was in the H appointment and selection of intelligent j sober and competent magistrates and ( freeholders, and a more general diffusion of the benefits of the free school sy stem. n In the adjoining state of North Caro- jM | lina, slaves charged with capital offences j are tried in open court by a jury with pre- j cisely the same forms used in trying white r men, and we have never heard any complaints of the law requiring trials to he s thus conducted. The only case in which it would perhaps be proper to dispense with jury trials is when large numbers are t apprehended for insurrection. MR. BADGER. ( A public dinner was given to Mr. . Badger on his recent return home from a New York, whither he hnd gone upon i leaving Washington. The following is < an extract from the report by the Raleigh f Register of the speech which he made at the dinner. t " Attempts have been made. I know, sir, ' continued Mr. B, to discredit the state. 1 rnent in Mr. Ewing's letter, of what passed s in the Cabinet meeting of the 18th of Au- * gust; but I say here, in the presence of 1 this enlightened and resppclable company* { on the responsibility of my own reputation ' for truth, of which none are better able to judge than those I address, that that state. I mcut istruo?in its leading and essential ?t? ' w&mmm&mmBmmmamm hots, qbsolulely tFiie?in all its details, sub. lan4ially true. The Cabinet \Vould not have been dissolved, simply because tHo President veoed the bank bills. Hi9 scruples, if sin:erO, however unreasonable, and even i disilrd, would have been entitled to tenlerness, if hot respect; and no member )f his Cabinet would have visited with he harshness of censure the errors of a nan who sought after truth with a wilingness to find, and a desire to embrace t, nlerely because, through feebleness of inderstartding, or early prejudice, he was lisabled to perceive it. It was the want >f sincerity and ingenuousness?-ofdirectiess and candor?it was the disregard of jourtesy and respect?it was the tnant.eslation of a vacillating and unsteady nind?it was the want of that manliness vhich assumes and avows it owns errors, ind scorns by concealment or evasion to .risit them on others, that compelled the President's confidential advisers to abanIon their position. Consider the circumitancea of the case for a moment, and udge if this be not so. One bill having leen defeated he, himself, proposed ano :her, and induced the members of his Cabinet to urge its passage. The bill ras passed and tf^nt to the President.? Did he sign it? Sir, it Ac r his Cabinet iad induced their friends in Congress to iccept it as the olive branch of ppaoe. be mt only did not sign it, but he sent it back vith scorn, as a measure that every one mist have known he could not sanction. Flow then, sir, was his Cabinet situated ? The bill that they had been induced to ecommend was so repudiated, as, plainly >ut indirectly, to exhibit the Cabinet as j false to truth, false to Congress, and false o the country. What would be thought >f that master who, having commissioned lis servant to make a purchase, should, ifrer the execution of his order, deny the ro.itract, and put him upon proof of his authority ? Every man must perceive hat a total loss of confidence having taken place, there was an end, at once, of ill hope of rendering service to the cotiniry. Of the future conduct of the Presi. lent, we could only judge by the past; j ?nd from that, what could we infer, but a j lisregard of all that was justly due to us j .m his confidential advisers. His conduct, ! hen. standing as it did to me, totally | * ; r # # without any explanation of its apparent j leviation from manifest propriety, and j without any sufficient pledge for the future, left in my judgement no alternative but immediate resignation, unless I had been a miserable sycophant, willing to retain office, under whatever circumdances of degrednlion. for the sake of its molumcnta nrid power. And in this >pinion, there is not a member of the Whig party, or of any other party proba?ly in North Carolina, Who would not :oncur." P08K.

THE ENGLISH PRESS AND MCLEOD. Generally speaking the tone of the inglish press in relation to the case of tic Lend has boe.li fair and moderate. The lisposition is one ofs?itisfaction that the iccused was acquitted, and that thus a erious cause of apprehended trouble be. ween the two countries was at once done iway with. The London Times may, eriiaps, be pointed to as the only execp. ion of importance. Tbat paper writes iolently on all subjects, and although it nay now be regarded as the Ministerial irgan, we feel satisfied that in its violence md indecorum, as relates to this country, t does not express the views of Sir Rob. jrt Peel.?Pennsylvania Inquirer. The London Herald, in the course of i i i * i i t very sensible article, noios mis lunguige: "It has seldom fallen to our lot toj ommunicate tidings of deeper national nterest than those we had the pleasure ?f communicating, under the head of our Vmerican intelligence, in a very early econd edition of Saturday Inst. This lay we give in other page some valuable idditions to that intelligence. "The anxiety of the public mind as to he fate of Mr. McLeod is now relieved rhe news of his acquittal, the accounts ?f the deportment of the court, the charge if the judge, and the circumstances at. ending the delivery of the verdict of the ury?so far as they go?impart a charicter of the highest and most satisfactory nterest to the papers and despacthes re civet! by the Acadia.
