The number 1 of signatures to the Temperance Pledge f wes 17 ; ail voluntarily made, without any j i thing like personal solicitation. Tho j1 lead in the Temperanco reformation is L now taken by the right men and in the r right way. Men who have been drunk- ' ards theiutelvce epeuk of it* evib from T ifc their own experience, and prpsont, in their own persons, living examples of the practicability of reformation. Thev are, of course, heard by drunkards, and semidrunkards, with more candor, and they have more influence with these classes, than religious men could have. Instead of ridiculing and vilifying the temperate or intemperate drinker, or the dealer in intoxicating liquors, they treat all with kindness and appeal only to their interest and the best feelings of their nature. In this way they disarm prejudice, and gain over thousands, nnd t??ns of thou sands who couiti l>c gajnoa over m no oiner way. The onlv pledge they require is that a man abstain from drinklng intoxicating liquors as a beverage. A man may distil or sell intoxicating drinks and yet be a member of a 'Washington Temperance Society. The pledge is not put on the ground of conscience, hut of interest, social reform and humanity. The societies are to be classed not with religious institution^ but with those merely of civil society ; such as those designed for the improvement of agriculture and education. The entire class of intemperate drinkers, lovers of temperate drinking and dealers in ardent spnits were at war with the old temperance reformers; hut we do not remember to have ever seen in all our exchange papers, a single instance of any attempt to ridicule or oppose the efforts of the Washington Temperance men. lie must he a being different from common men who is capable of opposing th?? efforts of drunkards at self-reformation ; or the disposition of their friends and neighbors to stand by and countenance them in the good work. Two important judicial decisions will be found briefly noticed in this week's paper, one by the Court of Appeals of this State in the hank case; the other by the Supreme Court of the United States, dcclaring unconstitutional and void all state legislation to obstruct the apprehension of runaway slaves bv their masters. l.?onnrd Wilcox has been appointed by the Governor of New Hampshire Senator pro tern, in pluco of F.

Wright and Pollard, two members of the Washington Temperance Society, 1311 persons signed the Temperance pledge in the oourse of a few days in Lynchburg Va. In Baltimore between 7 and 9 thousand have signed, of whom more than three thousand hat. Keen decided inebriates. In flic little village of Staunton Va. there arc more than 200 Washinglonians; in Peters burg Va. nut less than 2000; in Louisville Ky. more than 2000 ; in St. Louis, Mo. more than 21)00; in Portsmouth, N. II. more than 32J9 or about two fifths of tiio entire population; in Snllivan Connty, Tenn. more than 1000, and in the village of Joiieshoro' 250. It is sta.od by a writer in Piltshoro, N. C. that not more than n dozen adults in the village iiave failed tosign the pledge. We learn from private sources that two Washingtomans a few weeks agr> xvent to Mobile and that the interest which they excited greatlv surpassed the expections of the most sanguine, Great numbers of every class, from the highest to the lowest have adopted the pledge. Among them were men of the first standing in the State, whose growing intemperance had brought them to the very verge of Impel \ss ruin. In New Orleans the work had also commenced and promised equal success. The IJ<>it. John J. Crittenden has been elected lT. S. Senator, by the Legislature of Kentucky, in place of Mr. Clay. In Congress notliing of much public interest has yet been done. The retrenchment report, the general approprin. lion hill, n hill to nrnend the distribution act, and a bill relating to the district banks, are the prominent subjects under consideration. Mr. Clay's resolutions relating to the veto power and the revenue were both made the order of the day in the Senate for Inst Friday, when votes wero probably taken on them. Two very important messages wcresent by the President to tho House of Representatives on Tuesday the 8ih of March, which we copy below. THE STATE OF TUB TREASURY.

Th* communication frotn the .Secretary of tlie Treasury accompanying the President* message, states that the aggregate demands upon tha Treasury, during the present and the two succeeding months are estimated at 9,574,040 dollars. The means now within the command of the Treasurer, and the esti? mate of nett revenue expected from r.usj toms during the present and two next , months together with the amount of Treasury notes allowed to bo issued, are nut down at C.050.000 dollars leaving a ! jr" . ' I deficit, ns stated by the President of moro than .3,000,000. After stating that the adoption of the President's plan of Exchequer by Congress would relieve the Government from embarrassment, by the j issue of exchequer bills which the plan contemplated, the Secretary goes on to stale thai should the Plan not be adopted ! then the whole amqunt of Treasury notes j authorized by the late act ef Congress j will be a burthen upon the revenue of i 1843 without any adequate provision for relief. In that case ho recommends resorting to a loan sufficient to meet the wants of the Government, to run for Rt least twelve years ; the payment to be secured by pledging some distinct source of revenue. When the message and the accompa. nying paper from the Secretary of the Treasury were read, Mr. Fillmore, Chair? - /-> .. _ r rir j man or inc immmiuee or nays jinu i Means, said that he was opposed except I in cases of more necessity, to further ! loans or the emission of Treasury notes, j He thought the Government ought to pro. vide at once a permanent revenue adequate to the wants of the country. (Cries of, "certainly, that is it"). The following was the second message from the President : Wasttivotox March 9. 1942. To the K;vise of Rrpre.cen'afivss . In mv message of the 7th December I suggested to Congress the propriety, and, in some degree, the necessity of making proper provisions by Inw, within the pale of the Constitution, for the removal, at their commencement, and at the option of the party, of all such cases its might arise in Stale courts involving national questions, or questions touching the faithful observance and discharge of the international obligations of the United Stn'rs, from .such State tribunal to the Federal j Judiciary. I am urged to repent, at this time, this recommendation, by the receipt of intelligence, upon which I can rely, that a subject of Great Rritain, residing ir, Upper Canada, has been arrested upon a charge of connexion with the expedition fitted out by the Canadian authorities by which the " Caroline" was destroyed, and will, in nil probability, be subjected to trial i I in the Slate courts of New York. It is j j doubtful whether, in this state of things, ! should his discharge ho demanded hv the British Government, this Government is invested with any control over the subject until the case shall have reached the court of final rosortof* the Slate of N.York, and hern decide I in that Court. \nd although such delay ought not, in a national point of view, to give cause of umbrage to Great Britain, yet the prompt and instant rendering of justice to foreign nations should he placed among our highest duties. I cannot, therefore, in consideration of what properly becomes the United States, and in anticipation of any demand from a foreign Government for the discharge of one of its subjects, forego the duty of repeating my recommendation to Congress for the immediate adoption of some suitable legislative provision on this subject.

Among the important decisions which h ?ve been rendered at the prrsent term of the Supreme Conr4 of the United States, perhaps no one is more consequential than, that in the case of u Edward Prigg, plaintiff in error, r*. the Commonineaith of the State of Pennsylvat.ia?in error to the Supreme C? urt of the State of Pennsylvania." We have made the attempt to obtain the Opinion of the Court in ! this case for publication, hut without success; it bring one of the anomalies in our legislation that the law, as laid down in tho last resort by the highest judicial tribunal, is, for the! time at least, a sealed book tn the body of the People upon whom it in to operate. In this remark we mean noreflccion on any body in particular, but merely to state a fact, in excuse of our not immediately placing the whole matter in an authentic form before ourreaders. Considering the decision not only important in itself, but fully bearing ua out in rerommon. ding an appeal to the law by individuals whose cages particular States have of late taken into their own hands, we proceed briefly to state tne case above referred to as we understand it. At the Court of Oyer and Terminer for! York county, Pennsylvania, .April term, 1839.1 Edwnrd Prigg (with others) was indicted I under a statute of Pennsylvania of the year lSd6, for apprehending and carrying to tho| State of Maryland a npgro woman, chimed j IS a slave, with the intention to hold or to sell j ; "... '.-v.:..; ! m mwealth of Pennsylvania upon which this ca.*e is founded if repugnant to the Con*tiiuj tion of the United States, and therefore void. From thti "mo paper. tnC MARYLAND AND PENNSYVAMA CAsfc. We m .d< , in our last, a brief fliatfrueiit of the main point* of ih s important case. recent iy decided b\ the Supreme Court of the Uni. I ted Stat- a. We are indebted to a learned | member of the Bar for the following morn par- i i ticular statement nfthejudgment of the Court. , J and also oft be f 'parate Opinions of the Judge*, than we from our owj knowledge were able 1 to furnish ; ( I Case of Prigg, against the Coramonwcalih of Pennsylvania. j Tiie points decided by a majority of the ! Court were? 1st. That the provision in the Constitution ' 1 of the United States relative to fugitive slaves : ! executes itself so far as ?o authorize the own. \ er or his agent to seize the fugiive in any [ State of the Union, as property; and that no i State law 8 constitutional which interfere* ( i with such right, ' 2d. That tins provision also contemplates i legislation by I ongress, to make the delivery I of a fugitive slave more effectual against ail State or other interlerence. 3<J. That Congress having legislated, such ' t legislation is toe supreme law of the land, ex- J I eluding all Stale legislation upon the name 1 ! subject , 8nd with which legislation by Congress, no State can paas any law to qualify, impede, orcontrol the remedy given by the act of Congress. 4ih. Tiie power of legislation by Cong-ess ( is exclusive; and no Stale can pass any law < to carry into eff--ct the constitutional provision. | in regard to fugitive slaves, even though Con. gross had not legislated upon the subject. 5'h. That the po-nfs thus decided are in no manner intended to interfere with the police power of the States to take up runaway slaves, and guard against their misconduct or d. prcdat ions This opinion was delivered by Mr. Justice Story. Th? Cleef Justice and Mr Justice Daniel concurred in the opinion that the Pennsylvania law wan unropstiiu'ionnl and void, and that no ?S ate could pass any law to impair or impede the right of the owners of fugitive slaves, as conferred by the Constitution and secured by the act of Congress; but they, held that the S'ates were competent to legislate vvi'li a view to eff'rfuatc the remedy given by the < net of Congress. 1 jlfr. Justice McLean also concurred as to he unconstitutionality of the act ofttie Pennsylvania Legislature, fie was of opuii-r. that Congr. s.i, hi this particular case, had a right f to confer the power with which S'ate officers were clothed by the act of 1793, and held ! that the Stairs wee competent to punish in- 5 fraction* of that act by the owners of fugitive slaves; as when, f??r example the slave was seized and carried away wrhout procuring ] the certificate of the judges or justice of the * peace, which it requires. t Mr. Justice Bald vm was opinion that the i ntjmi'iion.u pruviMin require-i no iegn?i<uiou, j but executed itself; and that therefore the J act of Congress <*;;? toe Pennsylvania law 1 wore b'?th in.constitutional Mr. Justice Wayne concurred with ti c majority, and, recapitulating the points decided, intimated atl inten.Kjn of rilling h;s opinion at length; This cs'c was brought up to the Sunr me Court bf the United States under the tJohseci t?on of the Judiciary act of 1785, ??u tiie pro? vision of a special act of the Pennsylvania Legislature, b'tng the result of a neg ?tiaton be tween M tryjarul and that S'aie, co iduc'cd bv J. Meredith, Esq. as Commissioner ot Maryland. Toe cause was argued by Messrs Mere, diih and iY lson tor ihe State of Maryland, and by Mr. Humbly and the Attorney General of Pennsylvania for that State. The Bank Case ? The Court or Errors J iinaniinnu-dv derided, yesterday, that the , i Bank of Charleston bad not forfeifctt t's ? .ikorlar l>f ilo uiunnnwiittY of ciuwirt IT I I I v iiuiic.1 U> I" " ?'|^v ^iv | "II i ' ments in 1S37* The decision was based jf on the ground that even conceding such ; , suspension to have been cause of forfeit- ! j are. the fe<:i-;lnturo of the State had re- t leased the forfeiture, 1. By amending ! j the charter of the Bank in 18321, ana f thereby recognising it as a substring |??. , gal corporation, after the alleged forfeit, i I tire. 2. By adopting the Report of the ' I Committee of Ways and Means, in 1837, j which sanctioned the suspension of that year. The Bank of Charleston did net suspend in 1839, and its charter is therefore safe, although it has refused to ac- { ccpt the provisions of the anti.suspension , law of 1849. This decision, it will he ^ perceived, is also a complete protection to .. i f ...l:. l j tne country annus, none or wmcn sus. < ponded in 1839, arid nil of which, like the ( Bank of Charleston, rejected the Act of j 1840. r Chancellor D.
