The xlocket, civil and criminal, was uncommonly full. We regret that owing to the number of State xases, and the time necessarily occupied in the trial of some of them, the Court was not able to reach the Civil docket during its session. The most interesting case which claimed the attention of the Court, was the trial of Daniel O'RaJUy, an unfortunate child of St. Patrick, in dicted for kidnapping, a slave,. the property of John L-Dufand, Esq., of this town, and attempt tog to carry him out of, the State. The case was taken up on Thursday morning and occupied the whole day. r The crime is regarded by our laws as a: capital offence, punishable with deaths which fact, together with its rare occurrence here, and the respectable though simple appearance of Ihe .accused, excited much interest. The Solic itor appeared for the State, and Messrs. Wm. II. Washington, Edward Stanly and James W. Bry n, with a commendable generosity, conducted the defence. The prisoner had great advantages In the ability and shrewdness of his counsel, the 'selection of his , jury, and the sympathies of the Judge and the spectators. . 'Many witnesses were examined on the part of the Slate and. of the prisoner. The fact that O'Raffity had clandestinely taken off the slave Albert io the stage coacb giving himself and the boy a fictitious name, conducting himself towards "Albert as his master, and at other times perhaps as his travelling companion, and that the boy was found under his protection at Goldsboro' when they were arrested, wis clearly established. What then t" The indictment set forth these facts as a violation of the statute against kidnap ping, and punishable with death. What could the mast learned and adroit counsel on the de fence do with such evidence, and such a law star ing them in the face S They did well, and all that could ! have been done under the circum stances. They urged in extenuation of his guilt, his ignorance of the relation of master and slave, he being a simple-hearted Irishman, just from the old sod that be had been the dupe of Albert, a cunning, intelligent fellow who had assured D'Raffity that he was a free man, &c. which po sition was quite strongly corroborated by the treatment which' Albert had 'received from his former employer, MrTinker, and from his mas ter Mr. Durand, as well as other collateral facts. The very strong probability that O'Raffity, even if he had a suspicion that Albert was a slave, did not and could not have intended a violation of the law ; the ingenuousness of his Irish heart could sot but regard Albert as his equal, who by the .way.being a shrewd fellow, if he had a little bet ter chance, might make some headway in the world &c ; these the counsel thought might have prompted the act, which by the way. to a simple Irishman embodied no wrong doing. . They urged the severity of the statute, evidently con templating a different class of offenders, than the - prisoner. Mr. Stanly's speech was well-timed, adr6it and able. Mr. Bryan has been seldom noro himself than on that occasion. . His heart felt the subjec&and his eloquent tongue discoursed, pathetically and pursuasively for the prisoner. After two such . speeches . the raurrnur of the thronged audience was, the jury will clear him.' Mr. Washington had no chance for a speech ; nor indeed did he think it i necessary, after his able associates bad done the thing up so nicely. .The - "Solicitor gave the jury the strong points of. the 'ease; airrd the Judge gave them a clearand forci ble charge.. The Jury retired and in about an hoof returned with a 'verdict of Gxtxtt. ; All (felt'tbat the jury, who had sworn to decide- ac cordiog to law and evidence,'? could not do oth erwise; but the case demanded their svmpathy, - asd they recommended hira to mercy. ,The next -morning the prisoner.was brought tnto'Coiti to receive hiaaenteoce. .His counsel moved for an ;rrest of jerfgientana a .'new trial; which, his -Honor could not grant. hat admitted an appeal to lb Supreme Court.!

A league for those objects would inevitably be supported by the whole Vc mocratio party, which, as long as it has Southern support, will ever be in the majority, and two or three years more would witness the viler down fall of the Tariff system." ; Correspondence of the Baltimore Patriot. WASHINGTON. Oct. 31. 1846. It is stated -I know not with how much truth that when the news of Mr. Polk's nomi nation for the Presidency first reached Columbia, Tennessee, the place where he resided, his broth er, William H. Polk, now CAare des Affaires to Naples, hastened to the house of the nominee to inform him of bis good luck, and that an amusing scene followed. -' ' William II. Polk is a facetious personage He not only loves fun, a heap but he lovea some times to joke his more grave, calculating and se date brother. On arriving at the latter'a house, it is said, that he informed him the news had ar rived of the action of the Baltimore Convention, and asked him to guess who had been nominated for President 1 Mr. Polk guessed that Mr. Van Buren was the man !

Why, William, I can't guess any more pray tell me who is tne man : Well, sir,' said William, with a deal of mock gravity expressed in his countenance, I will tell you: the Convention his nominated for President James K. Poix !!! Come, come, William, none of your jokes, if you please ! If you mean that I am nominated for Vice President, say so, and let me be thank ful for the honor done me. But no joking on this occasion, if you please. William." M I tell you, brother James,' the truth without joking. The Convention has nominated you for President, and Mr. Djous, of Pennsylvania, for Vice President 1" Mr. Polk is represented to i have turned very pale, while William walked off whistling ! THE PRESIDENCY. We have received from a friend in the South a communication naming a citizen of high consi deration in the Whig party as a proper candidate for the Presidency, but we must beg to decline at present the insertion of the article. The me rits of the eminent citizen alluded to are well known and appreciated by the Whig party, as well as those of other distinguished gentlemen who hare been thought of and talked of for that high onjee, and their claims are freely canvassed inprivate conversation. To that mode of dis cussion, we think, the subject should for the pre sent be left. We respectfully submit that the public attention is now too imperatively demand ed by other questions of more vital concern to the common weal the preservation of the high est interests of the country, and even of the con stitution itself to admit the introduction of the affitatioff subject of the next Presidency. The Shin of State is on the breakers ; let every inau lend a hand to get her off, -and then consult about a commander. National. Intelligencer. THE PRESIDENCY. The National Intelligencer very properly de clines to publish a communication nominating a Whirr candidate for the Presidency. There will be full time to bring forward the name of a can didate twelve or eighteen months hence, and, in the meantime, the party will find sufficient pro per employment in resisting the unwise ana ae structive course of the administration, and in o pening the eyes of the people to their true inter ests. VVhen the proper time comes, we can not onlv nominate our candidate, but elect him into the bargain. Petersburg Intelligencer. What Causes a Whig 'Victory. The spi rit which caused the unexampled victory in Pa-, last week, is exemplified by the following ex tracts from the Washington Reporter : .. . "Amid the etorm and the rain on Tuesday last there appeared at the polls, in East Bethlehem township, an aged citizen, Thomas Farquhab, who cast his ballot for the Whigs. This man, on the day of the election, was over ninety.six years of age. Long,, long, may the aged patriot yet live, and long may his bright and glorious ex ample be cherished and treasured in the hearts of the rising generation. Can the : polls of this Union produce a parallel I 1 . , William Gardner, of Cross CreeJc town ship, an aged Whig, walked through the storm on Tuesday lasf, a distance of six miles, to vote the Whig ticket after doing which, he hastened home on foot, through the mud and pelting rain, to hurry out his Whig neighbors to the polls.

We are permitted to make the following 'ex tract from a letter from a brave officer of the U nUed States Army, dated Camp near Monterey, September 23tb. ;The writer, attached to Gen. Taylor's division in the plain, gives a graphic de script on of Geh.' Worth's movement on the heights, the whole of which, present iog a grand spectacle, could be seen from below. - . v - 4 . Baltimore American. r Just before day on the 2JJ" we heard the firing and as the mist was dispersed could distinctly see the whole of Gen. Worth's operations as he stormed s nd carried the" third height, and after that the Bishop's Palace. I cannot begin to give you a faint idea of the scene, which was the most magnificent and intensely interesting of any thing I ever witnessed. We could plainly see our men were gaining ground from' the flash of the muskets, and then finally. the "enemy retiring to the Bishop's Palace..' They made three several attempts to take the height after they had lost it, and I am told their officers could be seen driving the men on wtthlheir swords : and even the lan cers came out aod pricked them with their lan ces, but to no purpose. ... . "After the height was gained," which is some SiHl or 1.000 feet above the Dlaid and the as cent over the most iairsred and rugged rocks, whose sides are in many places perpendicular for many feet Worth rested his men for an hour or so, and then sent forward two companies as skirmishers to attack the Bishop's Palace. These were met by the Mexicans, before whom they slowly retired, yielding as it were inch for inch. until the enemy became encouraged, anu rusnca out with strong reinforcements of cavalry and in fantry. Then, so soon as they got near the height, the whole of the Americaircommand rose on from where thev had been concealed hy the height, gave them a volley, and rushed at them the piece of artillery which they had dragged up with ropes opening at the same time. This was too much for Mexican bravery, and they turned and fled, our men following so closely that they entered and seized the Palace ere they could make a stand.. Ayres lowered their flag and hoisted ours in its place. The poor devils retreated into the town, our batteries playing on them the whole time. AU this we could see from our position. Judge of our excitement when we supposed Worth had been driven back, as our success, I may safely say, was dependant upon his ; and then can you imagine our joy when we saw the sura and stripes floating from both eminences ! Never was there a more joyous shout rent the air than the one we gave forth." Progress of Dental Surgery. In a notice of a new work. Fox on the teeth, in a late num ber of the N. York Journal of Medicine, we find the following remarks on the' importance of re gardingthe Dental Art more in the light of a science than has hithertobeen the case. We can also add that the prospects of the College of Den. tal Surgery recently established in this city, re ferred to below, are very flattering, and the com munity will doubtless soon feel its beneficial ef fects: :: , . ' :; -. ' M It is very gratifying to notice the great ad vancement of Dental Surgery in this country within the last few years. It has not only kept pace with the other departments of medicine, but has even outstripped them in some respects. This has been owing to combined action and ef fort on the part of those engaged in this highly honorable and usual speciality, and furnishes a valuable example for the imitation of those en gaged in general practice. The formation of The American Society of Dental Surgeons" -the publication of the "Amer ican Journal and Library of Dental Science,' and the establishment of the M Baltimore College of Dental Surgery" (in which Drs. Harris, Bond, and Handy, are professors,) have tended to res cue the Dental Art from the inferior position which it formerly occupied, and elevate it to an equal rank with the other branches of medical and surgical science. The, dentist is a . prac titioner of the healing art, and, if well educated, deserves to rank, and does rank with the best in our profession. Although, as a general rule we do not hold to specialities, yet we consider the Dental Art as an exception, especially , when practised in our large cities; in the country every physician roust necessarily understand and prac tice dentistry, more or less ; and we may remark, that there is far too little attention paid to this branch of surgery in our medical schools, and by private inetrocters. In consequence of this neg lect, operations on the teeth, including extract ing, are generally performed in the most bung, ling and slovenly manner as if it were a matter of very little consequence how the teeth are man aged. Again, it is important that the professed dentist should have .a complete medical educa tion ; if he has not, he cannot expect to rank on an equal footing with other members of the pro fession. The teeth sustain relations to other parts of the system, and its different functions, of an extensive and important character, involving the absolute necessity of understanding the prin ciples of physiology and pathology, in order to treat their diseases successfully; and he who merely pursues the dental calling as a mechanic al art, as is often done, must fail in attaining (hat success and eminence to which every one should aspire. Direct Taxation. The Washington Cor respondent of the Journal of Commerce Loco Foco up to the hub speaking of the policy of the Whigs atthe coming Session of Congress, says: I am a loss to know what course they will take as to the Mexican war, whether they will vote the additional supplies or not. They are desirous of creating a national debt of two or three hun dred millions, and this may Reconcile them to the war. On the whole, I think their policy will be to aid the administration in getting up a debt, and resist the only measure by which the debt can be met direct taxation. Such a course will ve ry probably bring back the Whigs into power in 18-4S. While the Whiffs will not let Saata Anna cheat us out of 82,000,000 as he was about to do when Senator Davis interfered and put an end to the operation, they will doubtless vop whatever they may keem necessary to prosecute, or put an end to i he war. This they, will do from patriotic no ives, and not to create a large debt. If this debt is created let the reponsibiiity rest on those who brought on the war.' , That the whigs will oppose direct taxation, is most true. Give them the administration of the Government and they will pay the debt without a resort to so oppres sive a measure as direct Taxation. Every sign of the times indicates that Direct Taxation will be proposed by the Democracy, and opposed by the Whigs and that 'such a course' will bring back the Whigs into power in 1843 we think may be reasonably calculated on. - ' 'Petersburg InteUgencer.

We have often thought that one of the greatest obstacles in the way of the development of our country's resources one of the most dangerous enemies to tla progressive prosperity ri w be found in the absence of that which, for want of a better name, we call the principle of Perma nence. Go where we may, how few do we find who feel that they are settled.'-Every one is talking of movingi-every; one believes that: he' will move at ho distant day. Few devote them selves to the labor,, however , little may be, re quired, of surrounding themselves with sources of comfort and pleasure, which they cannot carry away with them. J A cense of pride and honor, too is weakened many caring very little to es tablish a character for integrity and uprightness, which will soon be left behind. To the same feeling, it . would be reasonable to attribute a neglect to some extent, of the mutual kindnesses and sweet charities 'of life which, under other circumstances, most would feel called upon to practice if; for nothing else, to-secure the good will of those with whom they and their children are to spend their lives: -t " ' C-'v ' One of the most baneful consequences of ; this unsettledness is seen in the abuse of the soil. The present is the aU'engrossing thoughu'f AH that can- be made must be made immediately, without any regard to an almost sinful Waste of the energies of the land. The most exhausting modes of culture resorted to the fixed intention of the planter being to emigrate as soon as the soil loses, its fruitfulness. The little attention which, given to manuring and judicious husban dry, would secure even improvement, is denied in a few years, fields, once clothed with the richest crops, are left a desolate waste. One might suppose that a sort of kindness, even for the dull, silent, inanimate earth, (which never theless does sustain life,) would save it from such treatment. To bur friends, thus hacking and killing the acres which have fallen to them, mere ly for temporary gain, we wish we could offer a remonstrance' which would not be despised. This earth was not intended for one generation, but for many. Despite Father Miller's prophecy, we think that the signs are .that it is to stand thousands of years yet. After we are all gone, others will have to make a living on this planet Time will be, when Goo's creatures going on multiplying will have replenished the whole earth. The farm which thou, my friend, art now heed lessly killing, may be necessary to keep alive future generations of they own descendants. The Creator has given it to thee to possess in thy day; alter thou art gone, he intends someone else, as Carlyje hath it, shall get -existed on it. For really thou didst not make thy plantation ; (called thine through courtesy,) nor was it made for thee alone, but for the generations of men who should successively fill up the years with their lives. . To all, planters and others, let us say this : You have supplied yourselves with homes the very choice of those you could get. Goto work, resolutely determined not to mar and abuse the Creator's gifts. Rather by a little attention, in- crease the fertility of your lands, than take the very life of them by cruel usuage. Determine to multiply around yourselves (with proper care, it will cost little.) comforts, and sources of innocent pleasure. Beautify your grounds with fine trees, in whose branches birds may sing, under whose shade the cool breeze may play. , A little labor given when you have leisure, will, in a few years, support an orchard, a garden, a vineyard, which will please the eye, and gratify the taste, with an offering of delightful fruits and flowers, and vege tables. Suppose even that those who plant should not live to gather the crop it will be there for those dearer than one's own life for one's chil dren. Even should you emigrate, your work will not be lost, even in a pecuniary point of view. There will be a reward, in the increased price which the place on which this labor has been bestowed will command. The profit, to speak of nothing else, we verily believe, is clearly in favor of our argument. Take a case. .A man has a thousand acres of land he goes to work, deter mined to make each year all the money oot of it which he possibly can, intending at the end of twenty years, or earlier, when it is worn out, to leave. He has reward he makes monev ranid- ly, for a while afterwards hot so rapidly, at length realizes verv little at last, he or his son has to leave the old home, selling it for nothing Another with his thousand acres, pursues the opposite course does not realize so much yearly gains from his first crops, but secures all the while an abundant return, fertilizing, instead of impoverishing his plantation with the comforts which has gathered around him he finds at the end of twenty years that his land is worth twenty thousand dollars. . Who is the richer of the two, even in money 1 ' Then moreover, he who felt all tho while that he was permanently settled, has surrounded himself with friends who love him and whom he loves, has no occasion to sunder himself from old and tried neighbors to break the ties which bind to familiar objects, now infinitely dear from the familiarity of their faces but may spend the declining years of a useful life in the enjoy ment' of the comforts which his long-continued efforts have gathered around them. ; NEWSPAPERS. We do not know the origin of the following paragraph, but we venture to say every intelli gent man in the community will endorse its truth : A newspaper taken in a family seems to shed a Fleam of intelligence all around. It gives the children a taste for reading: it communicates all the important events in the busy world; it is a never-failing' source of amusement, and furnish es a fund of instruction, which will never be ex hausted. Every family, however poor, if they wish to hold a place in the rank of intelligent be injjs, should take at least one newspaper. Aod the man who, possessed of property sufficient) make himself easy in life, surrounded by children eager for knowledge, is instigated by the vile spirit of cupidity, and neglects to subscribe to a newspaper, is deficient in the duties of a pa rent or a good citizen, and is deserving of the censure ol his intelligent neighbors.
