In a speech in New York, a short time since, Senator Wilson, of Massachusetts, the great Mo gul of abolitionism, said : I saw last wiuter at Washington that an effort would be made to make the American Party bow down in abject submission to the Slave Power, and I made up my miud, as a member of that organization, that if it underwent a Pro-Slavery transformation, I would, if 1 had the power, shiv er it into a thousand pieces.

JUDGE KANE'S DECISION IN THE WHEELER CASE. Not having room for the decision of Judge Kane, in extenso, on the subject of the Wheeler I slave case, we copy the following from oue of our exchanged, in which tite main points of the case are embodied. We are happy to discover from a hasty perusal of Judge Kane's elaborate decis ion, that be places the right of transit ou true and impregnable grounds. THE WHEELER SLATE CASE. BJ The "Norfolk Herald" has resumed publi cation, and will issue tri-weekly until its com positors are able to return, when it will again appear daily. We make this announcement with unusual pleasure. The Norfolk Herald b the oldest of the newspapers of Virginia, with the exception, perhaps, of that excellent journal, the Fredericksburg Herald. It is edited by Mr. Thus. G. Broughtou, the veteran of the Virginia press, whose name is aa ultimately and honorably associated wita the Herald and-wita Norfolk, as was that of the late Thomas Ritchie with the Enquirer and with Richmond. The good sense, sound judgment, and unvarying dignity, which have ever characterized the Herald, have always given it an elevated position among the newspa pers of Virginia, and commanded the profou nd respect of all political parties. It has labored long and faithfully, says the "Richmond Dispatch," in the interests of Norfolk, and to no citizen was that town more indebted for its advancing prosperity, ere the pestilence visited it, than to the venerable editor of the Nor &Jk Herald. - We can imagine his sorrow at the dark shadows which have been cast upon the city for which he has labored with so much zeal and ability. Alas, they have been deepened into dark er shadows by the gloom which the angel of death has cast over his own beloved household ! Yet, he still survives the wreck, and, with manly cour age, prepares once more to give his canvass to the breeze, and set sail again upon the stormy sea. Whilst maav a garden flower has been blighted, and many a young tree uprooted, the aged oak has been spared, and is still able to bat tle with the tempest. We feel assured that the generous people of Norfolk fully appreciate the long and valuable services of the able editor and noble gentleman, who has devoted his long life and his best talents and energies to their service. The absence so long of that old established jour nal from the galaxy of the Virginia press has been like imaging one of the familiar planets of our system. We hail its return as the Herald of health and joy, the morning star of Norfolk's re turning prosperity. Philadelphia, October 12. Judge Kane de livered an opinion this morniug adverse to the re ception of the petttiou of Jane Johnsou to quash the writ of harbeoM corpus in the" case of Pass- more Williamson, pronouncing her to have no ttaiHM in tue court, and the matter being entirely without its jurisdiction. ine opunou ot tue court is very elaborate, re viewing the whole case aud re-affirming the f r mer opinion. It is asserted that the law of na tions guarantied the right of transit of slaves, aud every other species of property, through territo ry where slavery was not recognized. - If the con trary principle was sanctioned, the time might come when the cotton of Louisiana, the rice of Carolina, and the rum of New England, would be restricted from transportation without the boun ds of the States producing them. He maintained that the federal constitution recognizes slaves as property, and up to 1830 is existed in the thir teen original States. The said Willianisou's duty then as now, was to produce Jane Johuaon and her chikiren. If the petitioner were led to abide the scUou of the court, she would have the right to be heard ; but, being without its jurisdiction, the records of the court cannot be opened for a stranger. On the conclusion of the reading of the opiu ion of the court, John Cadwalhwler, a member of the bar, not engaged iu the case, iu order to re move a false impression from the public, miud, said that from his recollection of the circumstan ces attending the commitment of Passmore Wil liamson iur contempt, the proposition was made to amend the return to the writ, when Judge Kane replied : "I will not receive an amendment now, but will I prepared to receive it when the record has been completed. No such motion was subsequently made, aud the public impression that permission to amend was refused is not war ranted by the facts. Judge Kane replied that the recollection of Mr, C. was correct, lie had been prepared to receive a supplementary return from the counsel, but none had been offered. Mr. Cad wall atler suggested that an addition be made to the opiuion of the court, embracing the remarks of a member of the bar not engaged in the case and the reply of the Judge. He was in duced to make the suggestion by the best feeliugs towards a worthy but mistaken man, hoping that it miErht lead to the adoDUou of a course that a will end in his liberation. The Judge cousented to the proposition of Mr. Cadwallader to imbody his remarks and the answer of the court to them, so as, to complete the record.

The Tribune, the otlier day, was "al most afraid" to hear from Ohio, and we had se rious misgivings about Texas. But there are now three strong rtirtios in tlie field: The Abolitionists, the Democracy, ami the American Union party.

A correspondent of the Williamsburg (Va.) Gazette combats the idea that Kuow-Nothiugism was the origin of yellow fever in Norfolk, by ad ducing the following facts : " i; Fact. The fever commenced in Gosport, in what is known as " Irish row" a place occupied by Roman Catholics, and about the very filthiest spot of population known upon all this dirty earth.

The North Carolina Standard "by" William W. Holden has the hardihood to say something about "liberality, charity and truth." We do not believe he was accused of too much of either. If so, he was outrageously slandered. But how could we expect any better from a soulless being. We speak pot vaguely and spiteful as be has. We say soulless, because it is well rememtiered how he "poured out his whole soul for" Mr. Clay.

As remarked by the Herald, "there must ; be sonWtliing in. the wind" siuro enough, when Seward abandons even for a mo ment his .favorite policy of secret wire working, and boldly makes his appearance on the hustings. 'Heretofore," it says, "he has been the invisible arch-agitator, never seen say where, but working ever,' where, through the agencies of his big aud little villains, run sens, tide-waiters, and pipe-layers. . Like the old rat in the fable, his policy has been to keep out of harm's way. - Butthe present agitation has (Inearthed him Ac. "Of one thiug," it continues, "we may be assured when the arch-agitator takes the field : his stakes are directly involved iu the contest, and there is some doubt of the result. This, we suspect, is the true reasou why he has made his public appear ance iu tlie canvass in New York at the present time, lie sees something m the sigua of the times which promises to he. fatal to the success of his long-cherished Abolition schemes and to his own hopes of political promotion, ami deeming it no longer satVj or prudent tp rely entirely Upon his "big and little villains," be considers it necessarv to step boklly iuto the ring himself. Thin we re gard a wgmncant sign. The re-organization of tlie old Whig party at the North upon a basis of national principles, aud their expressed determina tion to oprnise sectionalism ami fnsionisui iu all their form.-, have disturbed the equanimity of the arcli-agitatot-, aud caused himtocrawfout from his ling phice, and wake , a desperate attempt to bolster up' the falling fortunes of himself ami hi cause. We repeat that the various movements of a uati.onal character which hare recently man ifested themselves -in several of the Northern States have animated the friends of -the Union aud the Constitution with new hopes, and pro duced considerable fear . and depression in the minds of the Abolition fanatics and incendiaries. The conservative meu at the North have only to remain firm and organize tiiemselves properly, and the result will be such as every patriot in the land will heartily rejoice over. The speech of Senator Seward is only a repe-ittion-aml rehasb of what he has- frequently dis gusted the country with before. He oners noth ing new, ixit contents, himself with reiterating his okl threadbare notions about the equality of all men and. all: races. He calls the slaveholders of the-South a "privileged class," and argues that the existence of such a people umler a Republi can form of government is fata! to its continuance and that it ought to be done away with, if we would preserve our institutions and our liberties intact and unimpaired. He says: "Think it not strange or extravagant when I say that an Aristocracy has already arisen here, ami that it is already undermining the Republic. An Aristocracy could not arise in any country where there was no privileged class ami no spe cial foundation on which such a class could per manently stand. On the contrary, every state, however Republican its-constitution may be, is sure to become an Aristocracy sooner or later, if it lias a privileged class standing firmly on an en during special foundation, and if that class is con tinually growing stronger and stronger, and the unprivileged classes growiug weaker and weak er. It is not at all essential to a privileged class that it rest ou femlal tenures, or on military com mand, or on ecclesiastical authority, or that its rights be hereditary or even that it be distinguish ed by titles of honor. It may be even the more insidious and the more dangerous for lacking all these things, because it will be less obnoxious to popular hitility. "A privileged class has existed m this country from an early period of its settlement. Slavehol ders, (xtnstitute that class. They have a special foundation on which to stand, namely, personal dominion over slaves. Conscience and policy forbid all men alike from holding slaves, but some citizens disregard tlie injunction. Some of the States enforce the inhabitation ; other States neg lect or refuse to euforce it. In each of the States there are three hundred and fifty thousand citi zens who avail themselves of this peculiar indul gence, and those protected by the laws of these Sutes constitute a privileged clam. They con fess themselves to be such a etass, when they de signate the system of slavery as a peculiar insti tution. He next attempts to show that the spirit of the revolutionary age was adverse to such a "priv ileged das," as he maintain Southern slave-holders are that, at the period of the revolution, both America ami Europe were firmly and ear nestly engaged in prosecuting what was expected to lie a speedy, complete, ami universal abolition of African slavery that, at that time, Southern slave-holders themselves admitted that slavery, as a permanent system, was indefensible, and fa vored its removal ami that then they only ask ed for some securities agaiust a sudden, rash, aud violent removal of the evil. He then points to the provisions of the Constitution, which contain guaranties of the slave property of tlie South, and says such concessions would never have been made by Northern men at that time but for the conviction among them that the Southern States themselves would soon, without federal interfer ence, take prompt steps to abolish slavery from their midst. All this, and much more, he says, which he has heretofore repealed a thousand times. But even tlie wicked and wily intellect of William H. Se ward is unequal to the task, we trust, of organ izing a great sectional party whose sole object is the irostratiijn of the South and the destruction of the Union. We know the Black Republican movement is formidable bothin the number of its adherents and advocates, and their quality. Reck less from principle, unscrupulous in their tactics, and indomitable in their perseverance, they have it in their1 power to 'accomplish much mischief by sowing the seeds of discord and alienation be tween the North and South, and keeping up that system of perpetual irritating agitation, which destroys the peace of the country, retards legis lation, and constantly opens before us that fear ful abyss of Disunion, from which patriots and good men of all sections shrink with unutterable fear and trembling. But notwithstanding all this, we have faith that the "sober second thought" of a majority of even the Northern people will yet ralty to the rescue of the Constitution and the Unionl and save them from the fate to which Abolitionism, in its madness and its fury, would consign them. There is, we believe, enough conscience, enough patriotism, and enough of the spirit of genuine nationality and love of liberty pervading the masses of the North ern people to constitute an all-sufficient bulwark against the frantic assaults which Abolitionism and ScwardismAre making uSon our institutions and our rights. If in this we are mistaken, then the sad story is soon told. The Union becomes a thing ef the past ; and its separate fragments, like kindred estranged, will be to each other irre concilable and warring enemies. In conclusion, there is one feature of Mr. Se ward's speech, which we commend to the special attention of Southern - Democrats. It is that -wherein he denounces the American Party with extraordinary zest and vim calling it "prescrip tive and opposed to the principles of universal equality." When it is recollected that -Southern Democrats have uniformly alleged that the Abo litionists of the North were the special friends and allies of the American party, it will sound a little singular to hear-the great and anoin ted lea der of the Abolition hosts denouncing said party. But so it is, and wt call particular attention to the significant fact. Rvxmtmd Whig. .

On Friday niht, one of them rs-appeered before bigj master in great agitation and intbrmed him that they had been-enticed away by .Northcrn' white man named Francis -Aubounue, who, had arrived in Itichinund three or four weeks ago, and who persuaded them, against their will, to let him carry them off to the North in his brother's vessel, then lying at Richmond. "For this they were to pay $75 each. He took them, on Tues day night, to a house which he had rented, in the 3d story of which he kept them carefully locked up, staying with them himself at night, and car rying them their food. On Thursday night, Car ter, one of the negroes, (who had paid his $76 of " passage money " Bayfiaa, the other negro, having paid but a few dollars,) complained of sick ness, aud requested the white man to procure him some medicine. He weut out, and brought a mixture which he administered to Carter, who iu a few moments commenced haviug. spasms, aud yery soon died. The man then directed Bayliss to help him carry the body to the cellar. Ibis accomplished, the murderer took a knife aud cut and: gashed the body iu a horrible man ner, telling Bayliss he had been a physician, and wished to observe the effect of the drug upon the system. The next morning, the white mau told Bayliss that he would go out and procure a shovel and bury the body iu tlie cellar -that he bad rented the premises for five years, aud no one would discover it. He weut accordingly, and BaylUs was subsequently made to act; as grave digger ami the burial was soon completed. These circumstances very naturally alarmed Bayliss, who expected bis turn would "come next. He asked the man why he killed; Carter, and her re plied that he didn't like him"' much ; but as for him (Bayliss) he would stick by him and send him to tlie North, where he would have' lucra tive situation. Bayliss, however, was not satis fied ; and on Friday night, (his white acquain tance happening to leave the key in the door,) he slipped out ; went from the third to the second story, opened a window and jumped out. At the entreaty of Bayliss, his master ami a number of policemen went to the house, where they found the body of Carter, horribly gashed. Setting a watch about the premises, they saw Aubourine enter at a Late hour of the night. They followed, and found that he had taken the alarm and secreted himself in a coal house in au ad joining lot. When they came upon him, he at tempted to repel them with a revolver and a knife ; but was safely secured. At this moment he blew a quantity of powder from his mouth into the face of one of the officers, from which that officer felt a disagreeable sensation. On his way to prisou he admitted that he killed Carter,' and said be had done a very foolish thing. He also apologized for blowing the powder into the officer s face, and told lum to drink some water, which would prevent any injury. This advice the officer very prudently declined. (shortly after arriving at the cage, the prisoner was seized with the most horrible spasms, which succeeded each other with fearful rapidity, and before any medical assistance could be procured, he was dead 1 He had, it appeared, swallowed a large dose of strychnine, and it was a portion of the same deadly poison that he had puffed into the watchman's face. Thus, the murderer, by his own act,and with all his sins upon him, went to meet his helpless victim in another world. "The murder of Carter (says the Richmond Whig, from whose detailed account we have con densed tlie above particulars,) was an unprovok ed, cold-blooded act, and the general belief is that he would have made way with Bayliss in the same manner, had not I lis escape frustrated the plan. The public must form their own opinion of his ulterior design. That he contemplated aiding the escape of the negroes is controverted by the murder of one of them ; and the only con clusion we can arrive at is that he merely wished to secure their money, ami then get rid of them by the shortest possible method. No one seems to know any thing of the murderer's previous his tory, although a woman testified at the inquest that he came to her house aud stated that he was from New York ; that he had recently clandes tinely married a lady in the British Provinces, and that while on the way to New York they were overtaken and the lady was carried back. Tlie witness also stated that Aubourine offered her $500, if she would go to the British Provinces and induce the lady to come hither; aud that she saw iu his possession two vials which he said con tained shrychnine, with whieh he said he would end his life, if he was convince. I that he would never agaiu see her upon whom his a'ections were ceutred." This horrible affair produced the most intense excitement in Kichmoud, aud crowds of persons flocked to see the dead bodies. Aubourine was a carver and designer by trade, and had worked a shortJtiine at his trade in Richmond. He had hired the house for the purpose of establishing a restaurant, as he said. He told the negroes that the plan was a safe one ; that they would be placed on his brother's vessel ou Thursday night, and would be in no danger, as sail vessels were never searched. The Petersburg Express says : "There can be little doubt that tlie murderer was the agent of a Northern society, sent to the South for the.pur- pose of seducing negro slaves to escape from ser vitude, and that the house rented by him, un der the pretext of being designed for a restaurant, was really to serve as a rendezvous for runaways, where tliey might be secreted, until an opportuni ty for escape was presented." Aud the Express cites the case of Blevins, now in the Virginia penitentiary, convicted umler similar-circumstances as the agent of a society of women at Worcester, Mass. Auother case in point. A negro belonging to Dr. Crawford, of Lancaster C. U., S. C, is now in jail at King & Queeu C. H., Va., ; he was en ticed by oue ol these abolition "agents, who got as far as Virginia and there sold the negro ma king off himself. The negro was dissatisfied, started back for South Carolina, was arrested and put in jail. MR. MASON IN TROUBLE Not Mr. Senator Masou, (though he i$ said to be somewhat under a cloud respecting his re election next winter,) but Judge John, X, Mason, our Minister to la belle Vance-. It appears that when the news of the victory of Sebastopol reach ed Paris, a TeDeum was ordered to be celebrated in the cathedrals of that citv, in honor of the success of the allied arms. This celebration was attended by Judge Mason ; and his attendance is said to have given grea,t offence to the admin istration at Washington, which is understood to sympathise with Russia, It is even reported that Judge Mason will be recalled, unless he can satisfactorily explain his conduct on that occa sion. If so, the administration will do a very silly thing. Mr. Masou has a right, as the rep resentative of a neutral nation, to sympathise with whichever side he may choose, aud if he is gratified at tlie success of the allies, it is no busi ness of Marcy's, Forney's, or the Kitchen Cabi net's, wliatever. We are coming to a pretty pass, when our representatives abroad are not Only to have the cut of their coats prescribed to them, but even their personal movements to be control led. But Marcy had to cave in on the coat-tail question, and he will, in all probability, do the same in this. A good run is always better' than s bad stand Arul. American. Utility of thx Telegraph. A peasant re ceived lately by mail a letter from his son Jo seph, a Zouave, before Sebastopol. Tlie young man mentioned ine tact mat nis legs were ye whole, but that his shoes were the worse for wear. The affectionate father, having purchased a pair of nine-and-a-half, was perplexed as to the means ef forwarding them. At last he thought of the telegraph ; the line to Marseilles - run through his village. He put the address on' one of the soles and slung the shoes over the wire, A pedlar, passing by, struck by the solidity of tnetr WOTS mansmp, . appropriaweu tuem mm placed h's used-up trainpers iu their place.

"V.r ' i-J J J 7 ' A common pretence against the liberty of the press, by those Who do or would suppress it, b the tendency to licentiousness of the press. But this is a pretence that does not admit of an ar gument. Just laws for the protection of the person, impartially administered, are all that is required in- common with the utmost freedom 1 of opinion, of speech, and of the press, wherever the rights of the people are duly recognized. Perhaps this applies exclusively to the United States. Even in England, the press would hardly be permitted to discuss- the expediency of de throning the Queen and establishing a Republi can government at the will of a general conven tion chosen by the people. They all know very well that nothing, of , this sort could be attempted but as an act of f treason" and by a revolution ary war"; consequently, liberty of thV press ex ists in England only to the extent that the liberty of the people is tolerated by artificial .power, j In this country alone, therefbrohthe lib erty of the press exist as a - power in -the h&ndtt of the people, unrestrained by any other power. But while this liberty exists as a constitutional right, licentiousness is prolubited by law...

This is, of .all things, essen4 tial to the integrity of our republican character, and we are glad to meet with the evidences of i in the midst of an unusual form of political con- troversy. It is true that exaggeration and de- clariiation prevail to s great- extent, but so long as existing rights and the exercise of them are held sacred, there is little cause for dissent. - But, as we said above, there Are exceptions to the rule; and never before have we anything like the low, virulent, scurrilous with which some of the mrtVpanerjuare teem ing every day. What may be the influence of such papers with their readers, we cannot con jecture; but if it is at all commensurate with what the influence of a wetl-conducted journal is supposed to be, the houseliolds into which they are received mu8 in tima become fetid with the poisonous exhalations of partisan, strife. We cannot suppose it possible that any considerable number of the people of any community can derive temporary gratification from the perusal of such things, and, least of all, that they can voluntarily surrender their own sense of decency aud self-respect to such influences. At the same time, it is hardly to be disputed that ultimately the mental character of the read er, his tone of thought, and his very household sentiment, may all be warped from the proprie ties of genial citizenship, to the most bitter -and uncompromising malignity. It is well to cu sider tliese things in time p to institute a healthy self-examination, and to ascertain how far tlie passions and prejudices are al ready -compromised with regard to an opposing party. To discrimi nate between the liberty and licentiousness of political .sentiment, and thus to determine how far the liberty of the press has verged -towards that licentiousness, we may not personally or po litically indulge. No honest man will justify the virulence of the press ; and much less will lie acquit himself of malignity towards his fellow-citizens of any class, because he has imbibed that malignity from tlie spirit of the press which he sustains.
