who are the actors in the present scene, but change
hat will affect posery to the remotest genera

This change has already began: we have changed
from state of supneness and inactivity, to state of
watchfuness and inquiry; and must change from
the state of men, who born heirs to the choicest boon
of Heaven Liberty, are in hourly danger of becoming
saves-to the state of men, who, seeing the dangers
that beset them, have arisen with accord and sworn
with voice, to preserve their rights unsuied and
hand them down to posterity pure they received

But it is necessary, in order to the preservation of
rights that should be well acquainted with and
have correct knowledge of, what our rights are and
this only be attained by general system of edu.

obtained by the Working People uniting and exertins

With politicians in every country and all ages of
the world, while it is seen that the party in power
very tolerant of abuses, the opposition the
first to discover corruption, and the most liberal

this axiom are few indeed. In the recent contest
for the office of President of the United States, the
Administration were charged, with how much truth
we shall not undertake to determine. with extrava-
gance in their expenditures Of the public money, and
with prostuting the patronage of the nation to sub

they called the Cherokee nation. Tn this
contract, the United States bound The
Cherokees not to treat with Georgia. For.
~ years have elapsed without any COM
plant on the part of Georgia, in regard to
TINS exercise of the treaty-making power ;
out 1t is now found that the Cherokees
are tenants at will Of Georgia; that Geor-
gIa is the only power on earth that could
treat with the Cherokees and that thew

ton. The United States then, at the ye-
ry commencement of our Federal Govern
eminent, bound the Cherokees hand and
foot, and have held them bound nearly for
ty years, and have thus prevented their
making terms with Georgia, which might
doubtless have been easily done at the
time OF the treaty of Holston. Now it is
discovered, forsooth, that the U. States
had no power to bind them at all. If such

Pettltogglng is no very honorable bust

But such an Interpretation, so insulting
to the Cherokees and to the common

JUDICIAL DECISIONS.

We have before us two decisions, on
cases OF crimes committed in that state of
arrangement which sometimes occurs after
excessive drunkenness. They are of no
common interest, as touching the question
how far an individual can be held response
Bile for deeds committed in state ofinsanity
which is not the immediate result of fit of
intoxicaton.
The first case is that of Alexander Drew,
tried on an Indictment of murder, before the
circuit court of the United States, held in
Boston, by Judges Story and Davis, June
lS20 The following is the substance of
the case as given in the Boston Daily Ad-
vertiser, of June 10, 1928.
"The homicide for which this indictment
was brought was committed on board the
whale ship John Jay, of Nantucket, of which
Drew was master, off the coast of Peru, on
the LIST of September last. The deceased,
named Clark, was second mate of the ves-
sci, and was stabbed by the prisoner, with
knife, in the breast. 1t was proved by the
testimony of Mr.. Coffin, first mate of the
John Jay, that Capt. Drew had been for
long time in the habit of intoxication, until
he 1.-THE mate) had stove the barrels contain

days. He then called the cabin boN and
ordered him 10 pour out mug full, and
throw the key overheard, which was done,
and the captain took the mug and drank
the most of its contents and threw the re-
mainder on the floor. He was entirely stu

WADswoRrH's MOUNTAIN, NEAR HART
FORD, Conn. On the summit OF the noun
tain, about half a mile south of the Tower,
there is a Cottage, at which visitors are re-
quired to leave their vehicles. The walk
from the Cottage towards the Tower is one
OF the most enchanting, that can be imagln-
ed. There is no distant prospect to call the
spirit abroad upon strong and rushing PIN
iou-but the winding pathway is Swallowed
by young and beautiful groves, whose green
tops, swept by the perpetual breeze OF the
mountain, send up constant song, like the
sweet and solemn voice of Divinity. A
few rods from the tower, there is lovely
lake, on the borders of which we fingered
nearly an hour. The lake was spread out
before US, like gem on the bosom of the
hills, and the calm skies looked down into
it, and smiled at the blue image Of their
beauty, and its depths shone SO clear and O.
pen, that we almost longed to pass into them
and dwell with the Nalads of the waters. A
single cloud came up from the West, wan
dering like a lonely Spirit in the air, and, as
it foated overhead, its thick drops came
flashing down in the sunlight, and the sur
face of the waves cleaned and crlnkled like
ruffled sheet of fire, and seemed a lake o
molten gold poured out from the green url
of the mountain. In few minutes the ligh
