It has been published up ward of half a century. It is thoroughly Free Trade and Locofoco in its doc- tier: their vehemence is if possible more un. measured upon this technical definition, than upon those who have doubted its justness— a fact scarcely credible when former diatribes against the latter class are remembered. Its solution is found in the fact, probably, that vehemence is always used by counsellors of all grades just in proportion as their law is found to fall short. A more absurd statement was never so solemnly made. “ Treason against the United States,’1 says Judge K a n e , 44 consists in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies,” &c. And againt 44 Levying war embraces not merely the act of formal or declared war, but any combina. tion forcibly to prevent or oppose the execut lion or enforcement of a provision of the constitution or of a public statute, if accom panied or followed by an act of forcible op position in pursuance of such combination.” Now in what possible regard can the trans action in question be held to be treasonable 1 If Mr. G o r s u c h ’ s lerter is true, (and there canTbe no hij-lier evidence,)]ihere was no 41 combination” to resist the law ; there was a secreting of the fugitives; there was as refusal to go with the master; there may have been every possible prevention taken to the identification and discovery of the fu gitives; and even threats against the pursu ers may have have been menaced. But all this goes to the individuals engaged ; it was in effect threatening and endeavoring to bring about a prevention of the taking of these fu gitives, and an endeavor to escape, and an endeavor to rescue or to assist in escaping.

D ear *S ir :—I have the honor of acknowl edging the receipt of your favor of the 20th instant. I have to say in answer, that in my opin ion, the act passed at the last session of the Legislature, entitled 14 An act to provide for the completion of the Erie Canal Enlarge ment, and the Genesee Valley and Black River Canals,” is constitutional; and that I am in favor of a vigorous prosecution of those im provements in accordiance with the provis ions of that act. I am, and ever have been, an earnest and decided advocate of the Whig Canal policy, f consider the Whig party as, unequivocally, pledged to the early completion of the En largement and the lateral works. The issue presented by their opponents on this subject is, by far, the most important practical question now before the people for decision. So much of the interest, power and glory of our Slate is bound up in these works, and the advantages—fiscal and commercial—or their being speedily finished, so manifest, that the undersigned is, and always has been uf the opinion that is the high duty of the Government of this State to advance them, by every practical anil constitutional means, to their final completion. I am, Sir, respectfully, your fellow.citizen, DANIEL ULLMANN. Hon. E. S. S p a u l d i n g , Buffalo. Can there be any question as to which of the two men will be prefered by the people, as a member of the Canal Board, and entrusted with the power o f car rying out the law of the last session ? We apprehend not.

That is to say, G hatf I eld will bo aid ed to make war on the Enlargement and another 41 S top-Law” performance will prostrate the Public Works of the State. GO-An Insurance Company has been established at Bath, called the 44 Steuben Farmers’and Merchants’Insurance Cum- i pany and perhaps violated, but not forcibly resist ed by a 44combination ” to that end. The law itself was not organized against; it may be acknowledged to be in full force and ef fect, and yet no “ combined resistance ” to it as a law can be discovered. Judge K an e admits this distinction: “ I speak of a conspiring to resist a law, not the more lim ited purpose to violate it or to prevent its ap\ plication and enforcement in a particular case or against a particular individual. The combination must be directed against the law itself.” But how completely all “ treason” vanishes from this case, in another view of the sub ject. The Marshal discovered that he could not make the arrest, and he proclaimed his intention to leave, and did leave with his as sistants, leaving the G o r s u c ii family almost if not entirely alone. Thus was prevented (under the most unfavorable view1 of the ar gument) the second incident laid down by Judge K a n e as essential to treason : “ Some actual force used under the combination t o r e s i s t t h e l a w .1’ The law had gone. Its majesty was fast wrapped in the pocket of the Marshal. Its panoply was removed from the G orsuch ' s , and encircled the discreet re tiring Sheriff; and then commenced a riot and murderous assault, to the great contempt of the dignity and integrity of the statutes of the commonwealth of Pennsylvania. —Thus much of this case of treason. There was no combination to resist the law as such, and no resistance to it for its officer and only repos itory had announced that it would not be en forced, and departed with Its insignia and authority in his pocket. Would it not be belter for those whose of ficial or servile leisure and inclinations lead them to give names to acts which they do not deserve, ahd features to the law which it will not wear, and libels to men which they know to be false, and professions of faithfulness which they well know they will never have to and dare not verify,— to pause and reflect that competency to read the con- stitution and to follow its requirements, is ♦ not confined to the recipients of an acciden tal official favor and its legitimate blindness izens of Ithaca and Geneva, and those along the line of this road to Sodus, have been for some lime past concerting measures for the formation of a company to construct the road; and such progress has been made therein as to insure the certain accomplish ment of the object within a reasonable time. This will give a continuous rail-road route from Sodus to New York about 33 miles shorter than by the contemplated road to run out from Sodas in a south-westerly direction and connect with the Canandaigua Road at Hall’s Corners. These facts are deemed important to those who may be invited to invest their money in the stock of any rail-road from Sodus Bay ; it may appear, on investigation, that, while one of the above mentioned roads would pro duce a remunerating return to the holders of its stock, the whole earnings of the other may not be equal to the expenses of opera ting the road. These considerations are sig nificant and will be carefully scrutinized by capitalists before they embark in either of these projects. One of the greatest objects of the Ithaca & Sodus Rail-Road, is to obtain a substantial freight track on the shortest and most feasi ble route from the Lackwana Coal-Mines to the best and securest harbor on Lake Ontario second days o f October. * W o copy from the Canandaigua papers some o f the awards for the best articles on exhibition .

The completion of the Leg- get’s Gap Rail-Road will open the shortest route from New York to Owego, that can be obtained for any rail-road; the whole of which, it is expected, will be in running or der in a few days.

Having returned to Boston and brought with her an array of talent unequalled by any other artist who has ever visited us, we shall expect to see the Tremont Temple crowded at the two concerts, which she gives this and to-morrow evening. We attended the concert which she gave on Friday of last week , the house was filled with a very large and discriminat ing audience, who manifested their approba.

Parodi, and Parodi only, will lie taken as the standard of excellence. The other parts of the programme were preformed in every way worthy of artistes in Pavodi’s concert; three time was Strakosch summon ed before ihe andience to recive their plau dits, as was also Hauser, whose equal we have never heard. Mr. Arthurson was heartily applauded. The two cencerls which Parodi now gives, are at the request of a great many warm admirers ; and as it will probably be the last time she will ever sing in this city, we can but advise those who would sccnre a good seat to go early.

I am advised by letter, horn high authority at Syracuse, that a number of prominent citi zens are identified as leaders in the nefarious tra nsaction. 1 am also advised from Syracuse, that a complaint exists against Commissioner Sabine for his unnecessary adjournments and delay, and for his temporizing and exhibitions of timidity, also, for his indulgence before him of the Abolition lawyers in inflamatory speeches not german to the record. However much, or however little cause there may be for these complaint, it is certain that this same Mr. Sabine but a very few yaersjago was a known Abolitionist; and it is certain furthermore, that he is now an ene my to the Compromise Measures in general, and the Fugitive Slave law in particular, un less a very recent change has come over him. The District Court of Northern New York is probably not in possession of these facts. I can hardly think that the distinguished chief of that tribunal would knowingly suf fer a man of this stamp to hold the post of U. S. Commissioner under his appointment. B ru tu s . Suicide. An inquest was held by Coroner Jewett, upon the body of the wife of Peter Walling, of the town of Canadice, on the 1st inst.,who was found in the wood-shed adjoining the dwelling house, with her throat cut from ear to ear, down to the bones of the neck. li appears that Mrs. W. had been melan- chol> during the last two months of her life, and had frequently expressed deep solicitude for her future welfare, although a consistent and active member of the Church for the last twenty years. Her gloomy forebodings in creased to such an extent, that at times it apparent to her friends, that she was w deranged, and intimations had been expres sed that she might be led to destroy herself. She left her bed between two and three o’clock in the morning, without the knowl edge of her husband, who soon missed her, and being apprehensive of what she might do made immediate search, and found his razor had been taken from its usual place, and on opening the door into the wood-house, the awful reality presented itself to bis view.

On Tuesday the 7th inst., Coroner ■R o y c e was called to hold an in quest on the body ot a female infant child, of mature birth, at Canandaigua — name unknown. It was found covered with water under the eastern outlet at the foot of the Canandaigua Lake, lock ed up in a black patent oil-cloth travel- ing-bag, with five stones in it, probably picked up on the lake shore. Nothing was elicited to show from whence it was brought, whether from one or twenty miles. From the testimony it appeared probable that the child was bom alive, and lived a few hours after birth, but had taken no food. It had on no cloth- and, from appearances, had not lr)g ; been in the water more than two days. The verdict was in accordance with the above facts.
