NEW JERSEY. ; The Legislature of New Jersey met on Tuesday last We.hava received copy of Gov. Pehsingtos's messacej to tlie Houses. Tlte following is what he says of the outrage perpetrated by the Van Buren party in Congress on the rights of the State, The spirit and tohc-of tike Governor's lan guage are such as suit the occasion s In tlie issue of this great struggle New Jersey has a deep interest. V Her citizens have a common destiny with the rest of ttic Union ; but while they share in common burdens, they intend also to hare in com mon privileges, irruty attached to a form of Govern ment'Undcr which it has pleased a benignant Providence to cast tlicir tot, they will be th? last to witlihold dm? allegiance to it, so long as they are permitttJ to enjoy those equal rights which a proper self-respect demands. Recent occurrences have, indeed, awakened a fueling in the breasts of tbe great body of the people of this State, Which a sense of wrong, deep wron?, in flicted without an apology, must always inspire. I he present Uifusc. or iiepresen- tatives of the L nited States has imnieU to New Jersey a right which has never before beei? denied to any member of tlie Union, and which, under the Constitution, could never have been denied to her : the right of comniissioning, according to her 'own laws, members to rtprtsent Jierin that Cud v. Tliis right is vital to the, very csistcnc, of tlie rederaluovo'nrm'nt.Bnd uiUe-xcrci.se be denied to any one .of thcStat', no Cn gress.can.be constitutionally 'organized.

But I mx bevond this noint. Whatever diflerence of opinion might eiist in reality ,or be feign-1 ed 4orJparty purposes oh iliaf question, Congress cannot, within the legitimate ex ercise of its authority, go beyond the seal of the State. They must recognize that, or there can be no return of members from the State at all. After that is recognized, and the members take their seats, then, for the first time, the subject is under the con trol and direction of tlie House. It has uni formly been so held in the House of Repre presentatives 'heretofore, and it must and will be so held hereafter. 1 ... " The New Jersey case will, in all after times,', bo considered ah invasion of the rights of tho sovereign States of the Union," for the purpose of securing the power of a party. Fortunately for the country, it has Cj :u '.i r.u ' i n tiHm. rniiA. !nnf .id;. fWrnment. and tauglit tberii the danger of confiding their interests ".to men who have lived too long in the sunsliinc of Executive patronage.

Nor has it been confined to any party. .

Tlie popular indignation has been expressed in many places, and by large assemblies of the people in various puns 01 ino union ; mi l recur with special gratification to the solemn protest of fifty thousand freemen of New England recently assembled at Bunker Hill. We protest,' says the declantion put forth on that occasion, -A against the conduct of the House of Representatives in tlie New ... , Jersey election. This is not a local , but a general question. ' la tlie Union of tlie States, on whatever link the blow of injus tice or usurpation falls; it is felt, and ought to be felt, throughout die whole chain. Tbe cause of New Jersey is the cause of every State, and every State is therefore bound to vindicate it: T4 But7 while we duly appreciate these grateful expressions of sympathy, let me remind yon, gentlemen, that we have a sol emn duty to perform. To us, as citizens of NeW Jersey, i committed in a special manner the vindication of bcr rights, and it becomes every Jersevman to embrace" the only mode prescribed by the constitution to express bis honest indignation and assert the sovereignty of his State. The citizen who'could passively consent to see the seal of his State, which is the emblem of her sovereignty, proHtratee in the dust; may justly be pronounced unworthy to enjoy the protection which it ensures. It is gratify inj to believe that those who liave thus vio lated our rights are 'likely 'to be deprived of the power to. inflict further wounds on tlie Union ; but, should a like encroachment be attempted under tiny administration of this Uorncrit, rpwill become the dut of the Legislature to canvener'an assembly of the People to consider measures of secur.ty and protection ' Tlie remainder of the message is devoted to local Stayi 'interests.

Tlie ship made her. cruise and returned, I and the boy, mfluencwlby evil counsel or deterred by the fear of punishment, failed to deliver himself up, and, until his time of arrest, no active steps were taken tor his apprehension.

On sjaturdayjatternoon, ten or twelve Lndie projected a visit to the lady of the city marshal, who was himsclt absent from tlie jaU on other duties.
