JUDGE DANIEL'S NOMINATION.

It saems that all riftnner of attempts were mads by the Federalists to defeat the numinotiuii of Mr. Danifl, on Tuesday evenm-'. The mo: ions made by Opposi tiou members to slave nomination till the next day, showed that their whole cmxta were directed tu delay, to keep it ctl'io the last when the nomination could be defeated altoecthcr, by the em 'process of speaking till mltliiiyhi for there being no previous question in the enat tnere is uo war to terminate a tie bate but by laying the subject on the ta ble, which, in this cue would he death ti the nomination.

The Democrat Sena tors iftanimoudj resisted ihe delay, Those Democratic Senators most in fvor of the new arrangement of judicial, circuits, declared that if thero was any at lempt to delay the passage of the bill for the purpose of preventing Mr. Van Bukex fillm the vacancy, they would vote once for confirm'n'i the nomination, of Judge D.ixna.and they ncted according lhnso Smntors, alter having sup ported the new judiciary bill, when they found it could not bo psscd, joined their Dsmocratic friends in bringing in the nomination of Mr. D.yxiel 1: was ordered to be brought on tiie question was ordered to ba taken. At instant, the Federal Senators, headed by Mr. Clat, of Kentucky, (and through him,) announced thoir deti-rminatioi to secede from ho Senate! and actually se ceded in a body, with the execpti two, (Mr.

Preston and Air. smith, ol in diana;) all the rest seceded with Mr. Clay, leaving 1 ho Senate without a quorum, Riirl thus doing all in their power to dissolve tho Government.

Under the Constitution a m'nority can only do one of two things, either adjourn, or send (or the absentees, 'and compel their attendance. Adjourn inent was Ihe death of the nomination; to send for the absentees vn the duly and tho right-of the minority. Tho Siirgant-at-Arins was sent for them. Tho soce- i 'ders refused in obey him, mid remained at their lodgings. Finally, at the hour of midtiignt, ban: quorum was out a iinjiloone of ihe seceders haviiw re- tiitne'd.

Among these proceedings, we firida resolution, offered dy Mr, Benton, to pen the Spnito doors, and let the American of ihem who were present) bitliold the of tho American Senate. The resolution was in these W0H3: "Resolved, That the rule of the wliich requires the galleris to bo cleared while acting on executive business, be, and Ihe same hereby is, suspended while acting on the nomination of Po-ter V. Dinlel to bo an Associate Jnticc of the Supreme Court of the United States in (lie place of Philip P. Barbour deceased." The want of a quorum prevented the resolution from liei ncted upon, but it was cloar (hat many were in favor of it, and deemed it Ihe true way to prevent Ihe disorgan'z ition of iho Senate in future, as well as to expose the present anarchical npt to dissrdvn the body.

From this simple, the public may judge 'what is to bv the condition of (he American Senate hereafter, when tho men are 'in power who have done such deeds as we liavu horo it faintly ske'clied.

Facts have come to the know I edge of the undersigned, unnecessary here to state, which justify the tear, that of this enormous sum, not less than fifty six thousand dollars should be considered so cxtromely doubtful as not lo be relied upon for tho payment of debts A comparison of the former leturns of the bank, with tho statement sntim tied herewith, of the condition of the hank on the ID1I1 July, will show the increase in the amount of circulation lobe nearly, or quite, equal to that of the debts tontrac-ted as abovd staled, by the Stockholders. At that time the amount of the circulation was eighty-nine thousand, two hundred and eigiity-three dollars, whilst the amount 1 of the stock actually paid in, was only twenty-two thousand six hundred and seventy five dollars; and tho amount of specie, and othur means available for the redemption of biicIi cuculation, was only nine thousand three hundred and five dollars an fifty five cents.

And in one instance at least, which has come to the knowledge of the undersigned, even this precaution was omitted.

JAIL BROKEN OPEN, AND ESCAPE OF THE NEGROES. Eyria, March 5th. 1841. To the Editor of trie Cleveland Adv.

This move was somewhat anticipated, as the abolitionists were heard lo tell the negroes they should be helped out; but we were not prepared to see law, with such impunity, so soon trampled tinder foot by these non resistant.

They have elected their mail, and there is now nothing to be gained by keeping up the delusion; but, on the contrary, it is feared that the new President will never forget how often and long he was compelled to sit in log cabins on rough buckeye chairs, miles he be now furnished with lounges, toilet, Sfc. Therefore a new discovery must be made. The President's House is again visited; but wl)at a change! In a few short months, this kingly lurniture is worn out; the gold is worn off the spoons; the rich carpets have become threadbare; the mahogany chairs are worn out, and the Ftonch bed steads have become rickety The President, instead of rioting in luxu ry, has been living in a more des.itule oiid it ion thrn Gen.

Such is the latest discovery of those who have been peeping into crooks and corners at the While House for the past year, and miking public tbe result of their researches.

To make tho results of this last search appear consistent, it was at first asserted that Mr. Van. Buren had sent off the best of the furniture to Kmderhook.

I had heard so much of Ihe costliness and splen dor of the furniture, that 1 could not cred it the rumors of the emptiness of the mansion. I was only in three rooms of the second story.

The first room into which we were ihown, was a kind of an te-room, tho floor of which was coveted with a Brussels carpet, worn thread-bare there were one or two crazy old tables, and a few chairs which had been covered with morocco, but this was torn, with the hair sticking out, in various places fiom Ihe seals. The room was a small one, which seemed to have been occupied an office. It was furnished like the oth er. With the addition ot a few shelves, up on which were placed some bound vo nines of the National Intelligencer and a few books. There was an old sofa which had also been covered with mo rocco, but quite as much torn as the chairs.

The floors were strewed over with papers, both the rooms looked more like the sitting rooms of some dilapidated tavern after a rain, than any thing else to which I can compare them. After waiting a few minutes in these rooms we were ushered into the President's silting room, where we found him engaged in writing. The furniture of this room differed but little from the two former; the chairs were mahogany, covered with black hair cloth, but so much worn, that a private citizen would have seut them to his kitchen. The floor. was carpeted, but strewed over with books and papers.

Mr. Spangler, one of the Directors of the Penitentiary, says that there will be no idle convicts this year.

Speculation was at the bottom of the move. There are propeity holders in Columbus who fear that the seat of government may-yet be removed; and hence their anxiety to have the new State hobse raised, however embarrassed he State may be. The old State house, with a new. roof, will answer the purpose for which it was built for ten years to come, as well as it ever did.

Note to pnge 37. "The Constitution of the United States has provided for the surrenderor fugitives frem justice betweeu the several Stales, incase of 'tieason felony, and other but it has not designated the specific crimes for which a surrender has beeii made, and this has led to difficulties as between the Sta'e. Thus, for instance, in 1939, Ihe Governor of made application the Gevernor of New York for ihe surrender of three men charged by affidavit as being fugitives from justice, in feloniously stealing and taking away from oneColley, in Virginia, a negro slave property of Colley. Tbe application was madn under the act of Congress Of February 12, 1793, chapter 7, sec. 1.

founded on the Constitution of the United Statos, Art. 4, sac. 2, as being a case of treason, felony, or other crime, within the Constitution and certified as the statute directed. The Governor of New York refused to surrender the supposed fugitives, on the ground that shivery and properly in slaves did not exist in New York, and that this offence was not a crime known to the laws of New York, consequently not a crime within -the meaning of the Constitutor and Statute of the United Slates. Tne Executive and Legislative authority of Virginia, on the other hand considered the case to be within the provisions of the Constitution and the law, and that the refusal was a denial of right.

It was contended that the Constitution of the U-uited States recognises the lawful existence of slaves as property, for it appor tions the representatives among the Stales on the, basis of the distinction be tween free persons and other persons, and provides in Article 4, section it for their surrender when escaping Irom one Stale to another; that slaves were regarded as property in nearly all tbe Slates and proteend as such, and particularly in New Ymk, when the Constitution wa made, and that the repeal of those laws and renunciations of thai species of property, in one Slate, does not affect the val idity of the laws and ot that specie, ui property in another State; and inaniioru-fusal lo surrender felons, who steal that property in Virginia, and flee with it, or without it, to New York, on the grounds that blacks are no longer regarded as prop-erty in New York, is a violation of the Federal compact, and of (he act of Congress thereon. This case, involves very crave considerations.
