sequence of mistake in the law. there

Judge to hold a court in Nelson and ira

do well to observe this change.
The number Of persons murdered in

Scarcely has the South ampton irane-
dy closed, before we hear of similar out
RACES being committed in North Caro-
lima, with indications Of risings at diff
ferent and widely distant points. That
there must have been some concert, some
understanding, or some peculiar excit-
ing agency extensively employed to pro-
duce these movements, we think can no
longer admit of doubt.--The National
lntelligencer states that seditious PAM

have been 'dfeeAtected in the hands of
slaves IN Washington city, and there APP
pears to be an apprehension that they
have been circulated, to some extent,
throughout the Southern county,
They were printed in Boston, and no
doubt by the same villain who was en-
gagged IN the cruel work year or two
ago. The editors of the National Intel
ligencer make strong appeal to the
Mayor of Boston to interfere, and endea-
vor, if possible, to stop the villain.-But
alas, there seems to be no law to punish
him.-Public sentiment is the strongest
engine which can be turned against him
there and it is quite likely that lie is
wretch upon whom this could lave little
effect. What, then, IS to be done ? Can
Congress provide no remedy Such
fellow, if he is beyond the reach oflaw,
ought not to be secure from private ven.

EXPoRTAT1oN OF SPEcrE.-Itis stated
in the New York Commercial Advert
ser, that more than five millions of dol
lars in specie, have been shipped from
n. York to Europe during the present
season.-Our importations are more
than our expectations, owing to the pre-
sent bearing Of the reciprocity system in
favor of our European neighbors, and the
consequence is the draining of all the
precious metals from the country. The
probability is that the present season OF
promise and prosperity, will be follow
ed by "winter of our discomfort" and
of universal "hard times. "-BOst. Cour.

 With cloudIsss spirits for festival.

 Hath pass'd from earth like the winds deep moan.

 Temperance in labor and business, and in both pol.
