A Good Rcbuke.-The Pittsburg A.

story, and we dare say it is very true
one;-Judge B had agreed to
an arrangement for marrying his daugh-
ter to blacksmith. His son, who en-
tertained ideas more elevated than any
of his ancestors, and was something
naughty in his general manner withal,
when this astounding information first
reached him, sought an immediate in
terview with his father, whom he
found in company with several others.
Sir" said he to his father, is that true
which hear, that YOU intend to mar
ry my sister to blacksmith! And pray,
who are you sir,-And who were
your ancestors THAT SIR replied
the son, i should expect to learn of
YOU %, Sir, you shall be gratifcd--
your grand fathers were both wea-
s.'-.And. then, TO the infinite en-
oyment of the son, he amused him
md the company with anecdotes Of
heir exploits on the loom.

Beautiful extracts from the Address o.

"When saw this great audience just
now winding up through the glades Of the

thought, how soon we shall take our pla-
ces in the dust below. With this deep tho't

venerable trees and these sparkling wa

Gods own bright sky above us-I need

that voice is now saying in every heart,
the place whereon thou standest is holy

Reflect how many tenants will soon
be here TO claim their freehold ia the dust

ready come--a fitting herald to ia Ike pos.

Here he has laid himself down on cold

quenched in the brightness Of their rising
before they have known the sting and
sorrows Of life below
Children in tender years will follow

forth the wide world will be their home
The husband will follow the wile--the

wife, the husband, on whose strong arm
she had hoped to lean through all her days
The young, sinking under the slow tor.
torture Of wasting disease, will flee away
and be at rest in this holy ground; the
aged after years Of labor and sorrow, will
depart 10 this place in peace. The pale

Judge McHenry tried and conUicted.-
The trial Of Samuel McHenry, late Chief
Justice of Harrison county, Texas, took
place on the 10th instant, before the Dis
trict Court for the parish of Natchitoches,
Judge Campbell presiding. The charge
against the prisoner was that he, with
several others named in the indictment,
1.-TWO or three of whom were convicted a
year ago, and are now in the penitentiary, }
did forcibIy carry off from the parish Of
Natchitoches, into Texas, nineteen slaves,
two horses, and bride and saddle, the
property Of Mr.. Anthony, of that parish.
The prisoner pleaded "Not Guilty"
Before his trial (says the FIeraldD mo-
ton was made by his counsel for his dis
charge, on the ground that he was citi-
zen Of Texas; that at the time of his ar.
rest he was peaceably residing in Texas
where he was unlawlulIy seized by an
armed party Of men, without any legal
authority, and brought into Natchtoches,
where he was lodged in Jail to await his
trial. This, his counsel insisted, was a
violation of the law of nations, and Nc
Henry ought therefore to be discharged.
The Court oyerruled the motion, and the
trial proceeded. 1t was proved by the
wife of the late Mr.. Anthony, that Nc
Henry was one OF party of men who
came armed to Anthony's house, and for
chilly carried Off the slaves and other prop
erty mentioned in the indictment. An at
tempt was made by the prisoners coun-
sci, to show that Clark, one of the party,
had claim to the property. The case
was argued for the State by the District
Attorney, Mr.. Roysdcn, and for the pris-
oner by Messrs. Taylor, Tuomey and
Bryce. The jury retired at about seven
o'clock, P. NJ, and in ten minutes return
ed into court with verdict of equity

Ex-Governor Fairfield QUIT!

Mr.. Fairfield has written long letter TO his
friends for the public eye, which appears in the
last Age, on the subject of the North Eastern
Boundary. 1t is in reply to a note from the loco
foco leaders of the opposition faction, who take
great care not to interrogate him respecting his
extravagant and extraordinary bargainings and
allowances during the late Aroostook war No!
they are quite too old to ask any more light on
that subject The TEN DOLLAR-A-DA BUS
MESS, and the thousands of "MISSING
DAYS LABOR are too well known to the
people already, for their comfort
Mr. Fairfelds views on the Boundary question
are well enough, but too stale for this late period
the controversy. Gov. KENT expressed more
truth on that subject four or five years ago Fair
field has Just found out that "al p,tlence is ex-
hausted" Kent and the Wings knew that long
ago and Gov Kent has just obtained the aid of
Massachusetts and the cooperation of the Gen
eral Government, and sent on two companies of
U. S, soldiers to plant the AMERICAN STANDARD
there in a portion of " the disputed territory"
fol the FIRST TIME!
In fine, this 'etter of Fairfield, is purely, rusc,
for political e6ect-just as wolves come in Sleeps
clothing-to gum the people, get up another glo-
rious Aroostook humbug, pay Charles Jarvis and
others another fat allowance of TEN DOLLARS
per day, and then, perchance, leave the whole
matter as he did before, in much worse predic-
ament than he found it,
In Gov. Kent's past course on the question of
our North Eastern Boundary, the people have
the strongest assurance of his untirng efforts to
press this long standing controversy TO SPEC
by and glorious termination. For the last six
years all that has been done towards the adjuSt-
ment of this question, has been done by Ed
WARD KENT aided by Wing Legislature
heretofore, and now by Wing Congress and
General Government.
