His acknowledged capacity as a lawyer and the brilliancy and fervor that eloquesye which placed him high in the rink oi advocates, combined elevnie him to he Attorney Generalship of this Stale, a position which in that day was supposed to be ne evidence of remarkable mental and legal qualities it. r.en. Barker at the time of his death waa in the verv prime of life and greatlv Jistinguished at a bar which numbered among members m.iy able men who have since be-ome conspicuous broader stage. The late fudge Snx was a partner of Gen.

Judge Sill was a man of more profound and wider legal knowledge than distinguished partner, and had by nature been eminently fitted for a judicial position. His keen discriminating mind followed all the intricacies the most ccyitused and complicated state of lacts, while his industry searched every source which might help him to the law of the case. wan a matter of profound regret that this able iwyer should have ben removed when he was contributing so largely to bring order out of the disorder into which al! our practice had bean thrown by the rodificrs and the legislature, litn. BiHfctn wasthe better advocate a more successful jury lawyer; and in the conduct oi a case in ourt his qualities shone extremely.

In the State had a high reputation in this respect, and those who have heard him address a political meeting in an exciting 'opic, will recolloct what power he xercised over the audience. It was our purpose imply to notice the fact that the bar had final-y procured the monument to our townsman, md that in a few days this evidence 01 their re- pect and memorial of his name would be placed his remains. Though it is a tardy yet it is justaifd deserved tribute of theirs to a profes- -lona! brother who with some faults had runny and while the former have been forgot ten, the remembrance of tho latter will exist un the last of hu contemporaries at the bar of this ounty shall have gone to thejrave. Korelgii Convicts, Tbe favors which we receive from the Europe are npt confined to morals, manners ind fashions. In addition to the ever increasing umbers almost.

monthly during the year added our population, who come hither driven by op pression, poverty ana want, or seeking uaven-tures in the new world, there is another clu48 for presence ave are indebted to other causis. Australia and tho convict countries of England, inder the light iwhich the mother country has; lispensed so freely in their behalf, have heroine imbiiious of purifying their borders and ajpirtug a position of respectability among the people the earth, nv grumble about the laws which make t.iem priefcn -houses, and Recline to receive into their society the felons 01 Great Germany finds dungeons liiled with law Jtireakers and, France hiss no more, room at the hullis for galley, slaves, or regards the expense ot keeping them exile too great for a treasury tnen is not over wen supplied witn money. Availing themnalves of that benignant privilege extended by us to all the world. a privilege which invites the sufferina children of ant and oppres sion everywhere to come under the protection ol iu rgovernmen and become free men on the eas- st ti rins, they kindly and with a careful consid- ratiou ot ia well lor us, send to our shores heir condemned felons, their outlawed and out cast wretches to improve our society and elevate ur morals. They are pleased to regard this conn.

ry as a kind ot liotany uay, into wnicn tney may turn not only their work-houss and poor- ouses, but they empty into it the most vicious ud abandoned 01 their criminals. Ships laden with convicts banished for their crimes reach our ibores and their terrible cargoes to re new here the offences which have made them outlaws at home. French Jack, and English Dick, ind Dutch Jake, are sent here to swell the mob of najiye birth, and to swell the expens? the police department and the support of our jirisons. Crini. already so fearfully rile, receives a fresh impulse and our large cities and towns learn something new in the adroitness and dar- ng of our foreign felons.

The worst feature ol ill this is that jhese foreign relatives of ours over he ocean make a business oi exporting these characters to our shores, and of course they must understand thsjt it can be done with entire impu nity. Without enlarging further on this matter. we submit theye remarks to the consideration ot our renders.

The report of Mr. Letcher, of Virginia, chairman of the Committee to investigate ihe charges of the bribery and corruption of certain members of Congress in regard to the bill to renew tbe Colt patent for manufaexoring pistols, has been published. The report is not specific in its charges against any particular individuals, but is strongly suspicious of bribery having been used. Nothing, whatever, of a definite character was proved against any Congressman, and the report is unsatisfactory having no point.

What Florid Rists oy.

A writer in the Floridian and Journal says the upper stratum ol Florida rests on one vast net work of irregular arches ot stupendous magnitude, through which innumerable rivers, creeks and mineral waters in silent dcrkness perpetually flow. The creeks of this denomination arc too numerous to mention; most of them afford fine mill-sites. The number ot mineral and thermal springs in Florida is more than two thousand. The theory of Prof. Agassiz is, that Florida was built by the coral worm, and other marine animalcuhje, and that it took them upwards of two hundred thousand years to accomplish it.

letter rom the Upper Missouri. St. Joseph, July 27, 1854. Messrs. Editors: Having just returned to this place from an extended tour through a large portion of the territories of Nebraska and Kansas, I have collected a large mass of facts in reference to the soil, climate and agricultural qualities of the country, as well as some speculations in relation to their probable future political prospects, which would, no doubt, prove interesting to your readers.

Of the two territories, I greatly prefer Kansas, and il is, as a general thing, better supplied with water and timber, and the soil is eauallv good. The winters, also, are much milder; still there are tens of thousands of acres of land in Nebraska which far excel any thrng you ever saw in Pennsylvania. This seems to be tht general oppinion, and the tide of emigration, which tended to Nebraska, has now changed Kansas. Only a few days since, a large party some hundreds of Germans, who had started for Nebraska, left the steamboat at the mouth ol the Kansas and entered the Kansas instead ol Nebraska, as they first contemplated. All the emigration from Iowa and Missouri is now to Kansas.

The titles of the Indians will expire in November, and there are thousanda of whites who will then cross the river here, and at points At a ferry some few miles above here, the ferryman informed me that he had daily averaged forty families across his ferry. This mav be seen incredible, but it is true. At lnsi W00 thousand persons from Iowa alone are be- lieved to have crossed ihe river for Kansas bc-I tween this place and Wesiport; and at this mo-I meni "here are eight or ten thousand white per-j sons now in the territory. In twelve months there will be a sufficient number of persons to form a State government; and. mark my prediction, at the very next session ol Congress, Kansas will be knocking for ad-i mission into the Union as a sovereign State.

And now, gentleman, yeu may ask how- about Will their State Constitutions recognize slavery? Ianswcr.no. On the great Ne-mahaw river there is a large settlement of Mis-sourians I was among them for three weeks: nowi nil I he Hen nli.rt.al foil try on this question, I have made It a special sub ject of inquiry, and I assure you that I have never een one person who is In favor of slavery who is now resiamg in enucr Kansas or Nebraska. hven the Missounans give it up as a settled matter. The boiI, the climate, the nature of the productions of the country are all against it. While, therefore.

Wilmot Provisos and Nebraska Bills may furnish to members of Congress a fruitful theme for speeches to Buncombe, a "higher law" than any law of CongTess has decided the matter. Slavery can never flourish there this i am as well convinced as I could be of any ascertained fact. You may desire to know which parts of the country are most to be preferred for settlers. I 1 his is a hard question to answer. In Kansas I anywhere on the Vermillion Clue river counties, cr ar.ywhei-e between the latter and Gt.

Ne- mahaw river, a settler can hardly go wrong. prefer the latter named place, and there I shall niot probably end my days. In Nebraska there is much more, waste land than in Kansas, but I uad before, there are large bodies of splendid land in nil part of the territory. I may also another advantage which Kansas has over Nebraska. All emigrant for California or Oregon leave the steamboat at the mouth of the Kansas, aad atari for Weitport, miles from the mouth of that river.

This is Col. Fremont's starting place. They follow up the Kansas a long distance, and then cross over to the Platte or Nebraska; but do not reach that river till they advance some hundreds of miles west of the Missouri. The great highway between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, you will thut. perceive, passes chiefly through Kansas, and thus secures to the latter the great railroad route.

On this subject I shall write more felly in a future letter. It ia, or ought to the grea uuestion of the day. I am, gentlemen veurc faithfully.

aoIT-lc H. MrMII.I.IN. The Prospect iu Kansas aud Kebraska. We? publish in another column a letter whih 0 ginaily appeared in a Philadelphia paper, on tue resources and pronperta of the new territories, Nebraska and Kansas. The opitaion so confidently expressed by the writer, that the numUr emigrants opposed to slavery into both territories will largely exceed those in favor ol the institution," is rapidly obtaining i'l ah parts of trfe country.

The most intelligent and discerning men in the slave mute have never entertained any serious expectation that the repeal 01 the Compromise would inure to their advnntuKf: in any way. It was tendered to the South as a boon hy northern men, and they felt constrained to accept it, although with man; misgivings, because it was a practical recognition of iheir right, ijndtr the Constitution, to sviih their slaves into a region whence they hau been excluded by legislative enac'ment. undoubtedly occurred to them and the event will show that their apprehensions were well founded t-hat4 the obliteraiion ol the geographical line dividing free from slave territory must ultimately operaie to their disadvantage. So lung as the Compromise remained intact, there was a prnba biliiy that States organized south of latitude .6 3( would be admiited into the L'nioo with a constituiion in which slavery was net prohibited Indeed, it i diffi'-ult to perceive how the North could have suceessiully resisted the application of a Hlnte wiih an org.inic law of that descrip tjon. jt-is a fair implication, if slavery was for hidden north of such line, that it was to be rated on the opposite side of it.

The South therefore, prior to the perpetration of this Nebraska folly, had what they could reasonabh claim was a guaranty that states lorrrted below 36" 3 should not be deprived of the advantage) 'of the- L'riion, by reason of the peculiarity their domestic institutions. That guaranty ha been destroyed, and those who alone were te. profi! by it rtuvt be. accessary to its destruction. The latuity of the southern men, in thi-whole, proceeding, has been utterly iocompre hn-nbie to us.

Keeping out of view the bread ni laith of which ihey huve been guilty the un ciUwi for and wanton violation of a solemn coin pct, which tii'-Nortli had faithfully observed foi third oi a eriitury. the foliy of relinquishing tntegu.ira vital to the preservation of what the; inaiiirtiin to-be their riglits under the Constitu in'n, indi'-iites a kind of infatuation more to commiserated than judicial blindness. If nny in riuentinl southern Senator had taken strong ground in opposition to the measure, in the ear ly of ihe diseus-ton fr the was oi a poise for sotjie ti mi the whole scheme wouh bi-e-ri iynoti-iniously defeated. James A i' M.rv of Maryland, might have killed it ston dead bv a single blow ami the odds are two ti. one ihtit the demonstration would have mad hirn President of ihe I'nited States.

Hut regretf are unavailing n.iw; and our purpose is simpl; to consider the matter in the light afforded b) thrt observation of intelligent people who havt gone into the new territory, of whom the writei of the letter to which we have before alluded is-one. We doubt whether nnv northern man, ho has given this question sufficient at trillion to comprehend it in all its bearings, and who reaily understands the structure and opera tion of the domestic institutions of the Sotith has ut any time contemplated the introduction of slavery into Nebraska or Kansas, as a thing within the limits of probability. Our opposi tion to the repeal of the Missouri Compromise was noi suugested hy the apprehension that sla very as to gain any advantage ihe.eby. Beton iv. bill was a mended, on the motion ot Pivov, we presented our views of the sub iect at length, and demonstrated, to our own sat isi'acnon.

at least, that there were obstacles of a physical character that would forever ticludi ulaverv from the whole region, irrespective the legislation of Congress. We resisted thr sw indle for the sufficient reason that it wjs ostensibly a step backward in the caust of Ireedom that it was saying formally that a vast fair territory, which had been solemnly ded tbe nrnmancv of tree men, so tar a such a result could be attained by the action the federal government, might be bligbted slavery. Not that we supposed such a thinj possible, hut it seamed to us a cruel and mon rous act for ihe only real republic that the au shines on. in this enlightened age of the world to authorize human beings to held in bondage where, a third of century ago. the same go t.rnmpni hnd ordained and proclaimed that sla very should never exist.

At the nak of reneatine some ot the tacts oi urgumtfiits tie fore adduced in thn Commercial ii support ol the proposition thai slavery is next un impossibility these new territories, wp sha state ihe grounds of the conclusion to which have arrived. In a new country slavery is al ways deult with tu reference to its pecuniary ad vuntaces or disadvantages. In the states where it already exists, the question has a different as pect, inasmuch as apprehensions of diminishing political power obscure its real merils. But ii new territories the political consequences of the I.i.ilrniion" are wholly overlooked. Slave la borcan be employed profitably in growing col ton, sugar and rice, where the soil and climate are suited to its production not nearly as much, so however, as free labor, but that fact the ind lent and unenterprising planters have yet to as every man of ordinary intelh eence knows that for tobacco, grain of all kinds every thing in fact which the farmers of Kan sas aad Nebraska can cultivate, involuntary ta bor isUo expensive and valueless, when compar ed with free labor, that no agriculturist wit! sens, enough to keep out' of the Missouri river will undenjike to work his lands with slaves This species of property is wrth at least fifty fiftv per cent more In the Gulf States and South snd Georiria.

than it will ever com mand where corn and stock are the staple arti cles of production. Slaves are good for nothing in Virginia, except, as breeders to supply th southern market. Ask a irginta farmer, wit his two or three thousand acres of land, where- he raises tobacco and corn we use the last woTj in its generic sense bow much there is left of th sarnings of his negroes, after feeding aud clothing them; and he will tell you nothing literally nothing-th" he is for money to meet his ordinary cascc aad that he would soon become bankrupt, if he did not occasionally replenish his purse by selling a to the traders to take South. Besides, with the conviction impressed upon the minds of the slaveholders that slavery is not to be permitted in that region, no prudent man among them would take; the risk of transporting his negroes where the1 precariousnces of that species of property would necessarily be greatly increased by the conditions which he would encounter, even if the soil and climate were adapted to the production of cotton and sugar. In view of these circumstances, wc maintain the impossibility of either of the new territories becoming a slave state.

Of coarse individual slaveholders will go there, but the great current of emigration will flow from tbe free states and the enterprising and sagacious men who form the advance uard of the Dooulatton will taxe eocni rare to avert tbe par- of industry and energy, which slavery in fallibly induces.

Ji'ur'inl uf The appeal to th people of Cunada has not, it would seem, been answered altogether to the sat- inlaetion ol the lm ernor-( icnernl Indeed, as. regards the nmrc immediate object of the Dissolution of Parliament, Lord Elgin would appear to have received a reply that is anything but la- 1 orable. It it was meant to solve the query as to the" conduct of his Administration, in its neglect of the two great questions of the Ciorgy Reserves and the Seigiu.

rial Tenure, then does Ihe result amount to virtual condemnation: for the ministerial members returned are in a decided minority. In this re-pect his Lordship's position is not only not al ali improved by the elections, but. on tho contrary it is, from all aceninis. worse than before worse, that id, lor the pursu nnce of a halting polic inasmuch as there appears to be an important accession to the hearty, determined, out-and-out Liberal policy. But Lord Elgin has only to quicken his pace a little, lid he may find the new House such a one as will support him, and sustain him.

The present complexion ot his Ministry is suitabh to the new state of things, however, we very much doubt. It is composed of men many ot whom are per- I sonally oor.oxious to 'he majority of the Parliament, and all ol whom are more or less commit ted to proceedings which the Opposition will. from party considerations, if nothing else, be sure to resist. A short time will show how it is; tor the House is to be convened al.uotit immediately. But it must be remembered tli.u the opposition.

the majority that is set down as constituting it. is made up ot two distinct parties Tories 1 md Radicals that is. tliost who are opposed to the liberal policy of the Government throughout, and those who insist upon more hasty and sweep- i reforms. Lord Elgin has taken the middle ground, and hence he has had to sustain a cross tire from his opponents. But for a coalition of those two extreme parties against him, ids Min- it-tors, could not have been outvoted.

as hi were on the Address, in the late Parliament. Still, there is no sympathy whatever between Mie Government and the Tory section of the op- position, such cannot he said to he the case with the Radicals. There is much in common be tween them and Lord Elgin's Administration. Their differences are much those of pnn- 1 ciplo. as degree, and ot lime.

So there need be no insuparable difficulty, one would think, in a i io rnnicnt such as Lord Elgin wishes his to be, carrying out its libera! policy with such a Parliament as that hich has just been elect-d. 1 Chang' inav pf rhnp? be necessary in 'he con- struction of hU Cabinet; bui 'hat ought to br no practical obstacle to the course ot tile Governor General himself, upon the principles lv has laid down, and expressed his rni'nntinn to act upon. I he questions issue Mainly tesoive themselves inld'iwo the Clergy Reserves, and the Seignorial Rights, which must now wp presume be proceeded wiih. The question of the Clergy Reserves as legislated upon by he Bri ish Parliament last year. An 8ft empow- ering the Colonial Legislature to repeal or alter, subject to certain conditions, any ot the provi- sions of a former act winch provided for sale of lands called Clergv Reserves, and for the dis- tribution of the proceeds thereof.

mas.e such other jirovisions 1 or concerning sale, alienation, or disposal of the said Clergy Reserves, together with arising therefrom, or interest or dividends thereof, the rent of such Reserves yet unsold, and all other nnifiru in which nmnner as the said Letnalnturc of Canada may deem meet, but so as not to in- terferc ith existing interests alreadv assigned or 1'iven to the Clergv ot the i hurcn ot ng ircii ot Lngland or Scotland, or of any other religious body ur dc nomination of Christians in Canada, during the natural lives of such partie-. Such is an abstract of the Imperial A at. under which the Canadian Parliament is empowered to deal with th- Clergy Reserves. T's provisions are plain and ample there need, we should think, be nodiracultv aoout it. liut there is a I i go: ana io anenne, iiium iitenii to zrvns'er irom their present to any other object, secular oi course.

With respect to tho Seignorial Tenure, 'hey are eouallv tree to do as they in iheir w9- tiotn, may uiuii. UiSai. inui, we canii'ii see hat great difficulty there nerd be wiih.c ither i question. The only thing to be regretted is. that the extended franchise had nut come into n9 have secured for their conid- 'hat "fuller and more undoubted repre- sentatton ot the Canadian people for which the action upon them had hitherto awaited.

But there fan now be no retrograding inun the policy that has been adopted. It is a policy ol political, as well as social and commercial progress, and it must go on. It were too late todraw back, were it not also inexpedient. Since the time when Lord Sydenham established responsible government in the Colony, it has gone on progressively making out its priaciples. and it must still go on doing so.

The questions now at issue, moreover, are, properly speaking, oi a local nature, and the Colonists, therefore, must be left to settle them in iheir own way. One thing is certain that, until they are settled, there will be no tranquility in the Parliament, nor stability in tha government of that now rapidly advancing Colony.
