Dow. The Washington puporsjiiiiiounce the death of Jesse E. Dow, uf that city. Mr. Dow was onceSergeaut-at-armsof tho Senate, (wo think,) and for a number of years hasbeeu engaged in business in the city. He bod some literary reputation, und common tame hub attributed to him the authorship of a series of bitter attacks upon Gen. Taylor, in the " Union," over tho . signature of " Heroic Age." ttT" The Maryland editors recently had a Convention, uud transacted ibe usual routine of business of such bodies, and then proceeded to pass resolutions in favor of the several measures that paused Congress, at its late session, on the slavery question. They declared themselves strongly iu favor of the Union, and op-, posed lo the agitation of the exciting questions that j endanger its safety. 3T The Constitutional Convention of Indiana has : decided, by a vote or 124 to 5, in favor of biennial sessions of the Legislature. A voto has also been taken that indicates au exclusion of the blocks from the right of suffrage, and a refusal to submit the suffrage question lo the people lor their decision. Ey Tho Detroit Advertiser contains the following notice uf the movements uf the distinguished Locofo-cos ol Michigan about theae ditys. Tho Loco candidate for Congress from Cass' district is Alexander W. Buel. Ho ts a member of tho present Congress, and voted for the Fugitive Slave bill. As there is some danger uf his defeat, Cass is out stumpiug iu his behalf. The Advertiser gives the fullowiiig advice to the Whigs thereabouts: " Gen. Cass left this city iu the boat for Monroe al 8 o'cloce ou Monday morning, and will visit the principal towns and villages in that county, Leuawee and HHUdnle. Whigs ot the First District, go and hear him if you will ; but if you do, belore he leaves, uk him why he did not vote for the fugitive tlav bill when his uume wm called vkile he vat in hit teat in the Senate, and why Alkxaddxb W. Boil did vote for it" .'" Inquiries have been made by West Indies merchants about the possibility of transporting a portion of tin-blacks of this country to those Islands as laborers, on assurance ot their freedom and a homestead. Some prominent southern meu have given encouragement that on these terms mauyof the free blucks would emigrate and many slaveholder would release their slaves to go. Arruiigciuunts could readily be mado in Jamaica, Trinidad, and Guinnu, for the comfort and conveyance and settlement of many colored persons from the Slates.

Dear Sir : 1 reifunl such a letter from vou as that of no win ci mis nioiun us an exiruonmiury nnu gratuy-iug incident iu my life. For a long course of years we have belonged to opposing parties, espoused opposite measures and supported for high office men uf very dif- lerem poimcai opinions, vvo nave not however taken different views of duty in respect to tho muiiitenance of Ilia Constitution of the United States.

Aud all this has its origin in certain branches of the shivery (jiicstion, which, us it appears to me, aro either qnito iiuiuipnriuut in themselves, or clearly settled and determined by tho Constihilioti. All this I have seen with thnt keen regrut which you Imvo experienced yourself, and which cunnut but be a common feeling with all reflecting men, who are lovers of theircountry. To tins uuh ippy slate of the public mind I have felt it my duty to address myself, not in the language of ij- ru.iuou, crimination or menace, lint in wonix ol pear patriotic sympathy, find fraternal regard. My effort lias peeii, and will lie, to the lull extent ol my power, lo cause tho billows of useless and dangerous domestic controversy to sleep and be still. I am as fully aware, as oilier men of what is to be expected from such attempts.

Where Washington led I am willing to follow, at a vast di-ttancu in- feed, uud Willi unequal, but no faltering steps.

Suddenly some half dotenrobber-looking men, dressed wiih red llaunel shirts, and belts with swords and pistols innumerable, were sneii emerging from dark alleys and corners, and who moved towards Orleans House, where a strong demonstration was noon made against Mr. " Oturd Duptiy."

Nu arrest was made or aiiempied by the aiilhonties that evening, notwithstanding the names ot some halt dozen individuals wore mentioned s being under their jealous surveillance. Until about ten n clock at uiht a nervous leeling pervuiled throughout the whole city, and at every cor ner were small pat ties congregated watching the course ol events. At that hour a panic iook place in uie ineii- and the first person who escaped from it declared there wan a revolution going on inside ! Instantly, and as il by magic, the doors ot every house in the city, oc cupied by natives, were cioseti ui.il iiin-ti alio every person in the street stood prepared lo net according to circumstance. But this alarm also proved unfounded, aud no resolution was declined thai night!

I'oiHilutioii of roluiuhiiH. The Deputy Murshul bus finished the census of tli city and ascertains the population to be 17,05t. This is a higher figure than we supposed it would reach. The growth of Columbus has been very rapid within the last ton years. Iu 1840 we had but a hue tiun ovur six thousand. Now wo are almost three time$ that number. We are gratified at this result. The city is still on ward. It is not " finished " by any means. We shall double our present population within the next leu years, we gueu. We see no cause fur checking our growih for some time to come. The Seimtor, The Cincinnati Gazette says, it is authorised to say thut Mr. Corwhi is not a candidate for Hie Senate. It also states, by authority, that Mr. Vaughn is not a candidate for that place. It grieves us to cut down tho list of the Statesman iu this summary way. But the truth is very apt h strip the editor uf his lubors of love, about this way. Here mid there; the Dill'erence Tho London correspondent of the National Intelli gencer commences his letter with this startling sen tence : " Thebett tutei it, tluii we have no newt.''' The people of the United Statet will hardly appre ciate the force uud truth of this expression. Aud yet, to tho calm ami philosophical observer of the statu of a Hairs in Europe, it has much uieuning. To tin, the idea ofdulliiess, lethargy, repnse, is not pleasant, We are fond of new things; fond of oxciliiment. This excitement, this craving for "news'' is the daily bread of a greal portion of our inhabitants. We find in theso iliings food for reflection, Sometimes, it may be "overdone' and may become un unhealthy Btiuiuluut- But, us a general thing, it is lar otherwise. Society is to organized, or nit her so organizes itself in this country that we nre in tho sure and regular course of progression to u higher and be tier sphere. Improvement is the order of the day. A higher excellence iu every thing, moral, social, iutetlcctuul, physical, is turned at, and is cotis to 11 tly reached, and us rapidly passed for some still higher triumph. Wo are a great, a prosperous, a mighty people. We have the elements of prosperity and improvement, as 110 people ever had tlnin We stand in a position that must very soon give us a vast upnrionty over the rest ol the nations of tho oarth. Wo do not sotjui to be exposed to tho dangers and oviU that threaten other nations. We are singularly blessed. Not so the nations of the old world- To them the future is dark aud gloomy. They havo seeu Iheir bttt days. Society is bo constituted, that elements of discord, aud confusion and strife abound among them. Lo ik at the history of Europe for seventy years past. Look at Franco, look at England, look at Spain and Italy, and, indeed, ull those regions where history h is :oiiled great evellts. To them, "news is synony mous with dUaBtcr; excitement, with bloody strife. The deud calm is I he only atato of peace and repose, and comparative h;ippin. ss. It is the "bett newt1' they have.orexpect at present. The enthusiasts ; the hope-1 ul, sanguine ones, trust that much good will come from all this evil; uud that society will become purilied and made better by this change, and turbulence, and break ing up of old elements. It is not possible to determine the eud of all this, thou. Each mind conjuroi good, or ill, or both, just according to its temperament. Our faiih in humanity here is much firmer ami stronger than theirs is there. Wo see less of its dark, gloomy, foibiddiug side. Our history is a bright and progressive one, and tint continually. Tlii irs is marked with terrible lesous, that (ill the intelligent mind with gloom, nml forebodings f evil. We cumpluiu bitterly of the dearth of m-ws. We think it dreadful. They exclaim in inpturei, "the best news is, that we have 110 news." Such are the phases of society iu Europe, and iu America.

The resolutions adopted at 11 public meeting held in Ibis city last week, censure the act of Congress of lust session, commonly called the Fugitive Slavo Act, as uiqusl and oppressive, incoiisisieiii vtiui me spiru 01 our institutions mid I lie rights 01 men miner iiiem, ami lisuracetul to the government. Such are the general charges tho specilii stnnis are, thut Marshals Jkc. are compelled under Heavy penanies 10 ouey auu recnr imuess issued under this law, aud suhp-cted to babili ly lor the escape of inch fugitives, whethor with nr without their utacnl. This would leem rather an ob jection to the common law, than lo this particular act of Congress. Slienlls nnu oirer miuisieriai omcersan-compilable at common luw to obey and execute all lawful process to them directed, aud subjected lo Ilea vy penulties lor neglect or refusal. The same common law makes tho Sheriff, Arc. liable for the escape of a prisoner tn his custody, whether voluntary or not. Tho .Marshal by this act is omy piaceu 111 uie same prcuica-meut, and subject lo the same remnailiiiy as a A Nkw honor. Wo published a few days since statement reerliiig n couple representing themselves to bo newly married, and in bridal costume, slopping at 11 hotel in Utica, to spend a few days on their wedding tour. The groom, on Saturday, borrowed seventeen dollars from tlie polite hosl, nud disappeared. The deserted In ide without money, without friends, a victim In deception wept tears which drew a contribution out ot the pocket nf the I maulers, nud a purse was made up for the abandoned Ariadne, far exceeding in amount what had been loaned In her flying Theseus. She then disappeared! It is believed that the two panies have rejoined enrh other, and are rea dy to receive anv amount of money again in ibis way of loan ur contribution from confiding landlords and onerous guests. Athtaouta ittegraph. i need only refer to iheopiuioiiof tho Attorney Gull- Tid. Mr. Crilleiideu, to disprove the specification that tin act render ineffectual or suspends the writol ha beas eorpHt. This writ is a writ of right, and every Judge, on at proper application to him, must issue it. nud when the puny is oronoi neioro nun muni im ut- mine whether tlie iiuprisoniuem ne illegal or not. 1 ms writ can only be suspended by Congress in the cases specified in ihe constitution. Tho complaint that this law makes the petty officer of a court Ibe Judges iu questions of personal liberty and perpetual slavery, without appeal or review, ap plied with equal force to tho act of 1793, which was the law of the laud for more tlmu ball a century. Thai act nave the line smnmnrv remedy, authorized the ar rest of the alleged fugitivo by thoelnimalit, bis agent or attorney, gave the circuit uud district judge ol the United Slates Com la or any magistrate 01 any county, cilv. or town corporate whero such arrest was made, iutisdiction to hear and determine, without a jury aud WlIUOiil appeal or review, nun uia vuiiiiilhiv "'"-n judge or magistrate was a snllicieut warrant to remove I the fugitivo to Ihe Stale or territory from whence ho tied. The principal difference iu this respect, between the act of I7!i3 and this act amendatory and supplement ry thereto, is, thai commissioner apHUtited by the Circuit aud District Courts of tho Unite,! Stales are sub stituted lor the county, city and town magistrates, aud though petty officers or rather judgos of limited juris diction, wilt probably be found quite as Well qualified to hear uud deb-rmine, us then predecessors under the net of 17JCI. Judge Slitl'y, iu his coinnielil nies on the constitulioii, bus uluiwu the reuNnu uud uecessitv of this summary remedy, adopted in 17!)3 and coiitiuued umb-r the amendatory uud supplemental uel of 1U.'0 It is furlhur objected that this act, under certain circumstances, compels the removal of the fugitivo lo the Slate from whence he fled, by itm Marshal, and at the expense of the United States. The constitution secures to the owner tho riht of reclaiming his slave in any State into which he bus escaped. The supremo court of the United States has decided thut Congress has the sole and exclusive power of legislation on this subject, mid to carry into effect this provision of the constitution. The ur t of 17"3 us well i.s that of IU.iO, has established tribunals to hear and determine cases of this description. But the jurisdiction of a court would be main led aud defective without the power of currying il judgments into ellectuul execution. This aiuenoaiory act ol 1H,U Has guarded against the lorci-ble rescue of one adjudged to be it fugitivo and bound to service, by requiring Hie Marshal to remove him lo me aiate troin whence helled, aud empowering him to sum uu m assistance to overcome such apprehended force. The Shot iff may command the power of his county whore the process of tho coiiri is forcibly resist ed, tins not m tn cusp spec 1 hod gives the Marshal a similar power to enforco tho judgim-nt of Ihe court. nave we not reason to believe that in many cases such judgments would prove wholly nugatory and unavailing without some such provision for enforcing them 1 But "it is on tho o;iih of tho claimant and at'the ox- peiise of tho United State," He is the one most likely to be apprized of an intended rescue, and to feci apprehensions of its success, and is the proper person lo maku the affidavit; and why should this extraordinary expense full un the claimant ? The constitution has so ured his right of reception; he has established that ight, before lite tribuunl created bv law lo hear and determine such questions, and ought not tho government insecure to him the benefit of such judgment against unlawful force nud violence? I have gone through tho specifications 111 support ot ihe genera) I'hui'ges contained in these resolutions. However they may uli'ect others, they do not satisfy ; my mind that this amendatory and supplemental act leserves tlio character given to it by those resolutions. 1 am gentlemen, very respectfully yours, &v, JOSEPH II.

Wo observe that tome people begiu to express great apprehension, again, thai tlio Whigs of Ohio intend to adopt some means by which to defeat ihe 11 great re- Jormt ol the duy, in our new Constitution that it to be. Democrats aro warned, iu a very ullectiounte manner, that they must put uu trust in anything that is said by the Whig in the Convention, because they are a most outrageously dishonest set, that will do anything to de feat the "reforms" of some folks. The warning is very allectionate uud duint crated, ami will, 110 doubt, sink deeply into good and honest hoarts, aud tend greatly to prevent the weak and feeble brethren, such us J udgH Kemion, and Arebbold , and Dorsey, and Case, and others, from fulling into the snares of the wily Whigs ! What acomplimi'iil lo his friends this adviser here utters! We know no more than any other good citizen what course the Whigs in the Convention may tuke on the "great reforms of the day." We presume they will not change Ihe course pointed out by their conduct, votes ami speeches, during tho recent silting of that body. We believe then is no doubt ifbout tlieir views upon these mailers. If boiiio great fraud is to be committed ; if some Guy Faux t rut age in is to be sprung upon the people; we trust our amiable neighbor will Imvs no delicacy in calling upon us to expose the utl'uir. Wo desire an open, fair light. We bojte the majority will be able to unite and agree upon something ; and wbou thi is agreed upon, proceed lo do something beside talk. The true object ol' Uovernnientii. It is well occasionally to reler to first principles. In the In-al and excitement, uud temptations of purty strife, tho best may be misled, and tho truest may swerve. But when the contest is passed, all such will avail themselves of the first moments of the calm tore- view their course, lo i-xuuiiuu their principles, aud see whether ihey have been wafted from the path of duty id of right. If such a procedure is proper and iiecesxaiy for au individual, il is for a party uud fur a nation. The true principles of human government are lew and simple, the application of thorn to tho cases constantly arising are various nml complex- A recur rence, often and rigid, to the simple elements and aims of national organizations is thureforo necessary to pre nt a too wide departure from ihetn, in the multifa riotis and Inburynthial details of their upplicutions. What is then the proper object uf human govern- tm-ntsf Undoubtedly we ull know what it ought lu bo -the g I, the highest atlaiimblo earthly good of every bji-ci, of every human being under tho control of such governments. In Republics this is tho profettcd object. Such governments really know no tubjeett in the technical Sense 'if the term ; nil are equals, that is, ill have combined lo attain certaiu results lo which all have equal claims. Republics also claim that llie best iy, indeed the only feasible way, to secure to every individual this greatest good is, to allow him the great est liberty. Here is the fundamental difference be tween republic und monarchical governments. The one presumes man to be capable, the oilier incapable, nf judging .r himself. II on re the discriminating and exclusive law constantly accumulating in all nionar- hical governments, aocuring privileges lo the few, nud restricting the mass tu certain employments, giving in flect no improvement, ambition 110 hop., uud hope itself no foundation. Bui Republics,undesperiallyuur own, the model of all republics, start with a different ibeory of thu powers and rights of mail a theory based on 1111 essential privilege of his nature the right to be ami to do just what he pleases, except to injuro bis igbbor. 'fhia is the only restriction to his liberty, the sole abridgement of his powers. Now, a republican government is merely a continua tion of persons for mutual protection, into which every person is presumed lu cuter with tlio understanding that he is to be allowed ibe privilege of pursuing hap- piueHs bis own wuy, aud of boinx protected from mju- while so doing. To secure to every oue Hub priv- :e is, or ought to be, the exclusive object ol every govorninuui. A strict adhorvueo lo this object leaves ery iiors n iu the possession of all the privileges ho has n right In claim, and any departure from it infrin- s mi the rights of some one. A perfect government, our opinion, would be that 111 which a person should vor feel the force of law except when he stretched rib his hand lo injure his neighbor. In everything le, he should posnes the largest possibly liberty. The only weight of government he would fuel, would the mere put 1UC0 required tu keep it in iqieraiion. inch biuug the object of government, the duty of legislators is plain, lu exnmiuing every measure, they have merely t i nsk, would the passage of Ibis deprive any person or class of person of their rights; or, what the samo thing, would it confer on any person more than hi natural right ' Would it lend 111 the b ust to unb dance community, electing one portion and do' pressing another!

Will it assist any in accom plishing uu objert that could not otherwise be accoirt lished f Then let it become a luw, miles it will in jure others, We believe a refereuco to these principles will sim plify the labors of legislators nud constitution makers, tid prevent a departure from Hie true principles 01 iveriimeut.

The last number ol the Statesman omitted lo put any iuquiriea touching our opinion of the fugi.ive slave law. W hanfly know how to nccouut for this omis sion. 800 u alter that law made its appearance wo expressed our opinion id' it and have do no the same re peatedly since. Tho editor of thut Galplnn sheet kept us quiet as n walrus until we stirred him up on the sub ject ; but has ev er since manifested a very remarkable thirst fur knowledge. Taking care losay little himself, he pretends lo forget that we. have ever expressed au opiuioii. uud talks vulornudy of " prying " our " moutli ojien" not letting us playn "mum game" and so lorth. We have published the proceedings of a num ber of meetings iu regard to thai law, and he wonder what we think of this, that and ihe other resolution- Why, dear old soul t we think that whatever you say about il yon will be sure to contradict yourself, and therefore it is not necessary to pay much attention to youriiiqniries. Our reader know what wo think of the law, it is not necessary to our happiness that your should know. Wo have observed that whenever our affectionate old Granny G.dpliiu start on a yarn uf thut sort, if wo undertake to contradict Ins stone he will batch new one indefinitely ; but if wc let hira alone, he runs himself down, ex pones his own fictions, and flats out. We have never seen so close a human resemblance to the frolics of a puppy, which runs desperately after hi own tail till be becomes dizzy, keels over, and lay himself sprawling. He seems lu have become aware of this weal-nes, or idtnayucrary, or bent of genius, or whatever you may please to call it, but is unable to control it. When hi' once gets started out on a circuit of that nature he knows that hi only salvation lie in getting somebody to interrupt him, and therefore begs with great earnestness. But we wore lenrul when a boy tn " keep up the ring " and see fair play, and surely that kind ol " ring sports" is too innocent an amuse ment for us to break up. We haven't the heart to do it. Ho will soon run down, aud then perhaps we will wind him up again. f'eiiirnl Ohio Ituilroiid. Preparatory lo the taking of con'ract on this road tho letting of which is in course of publication in litis paper, we leuru that many contractors are examining the work. And among the rest we are pleased to see Mr. Ja. Burke, of Maryland, au old acquaintance of ours, and by the way au old and most successful coutracior. We trust that he may succeed ill getting just such a contract a he want, because he will bo certaiu lo execute tho work as it should be done. We are informed that strong hopes are now enter tained that tho entire division of the road between Zone illo and .Newark will be completed iu Iho couise of the next year, and Hie division from Newark to Columbus in about eighteen months. Much, however, depend ipon the energy and skill ot the coutracuirs. uui 01 niirae the iudi. ious officer who has the letting of con tracts will, a he is well qualified to do, take care of lhat matter.
