A PRoTRAcTED Law SUlr.-The following case.
lately decided in the Supreme Court of Berlin,
proves that it ia not ia English and American
Courts alone that there is TO chide the Law
delay. 1t is probably suit of the longest dura-
ton of any on record, being of somewhat over
three hundred gears Standing 1t is very GER
tain that there can be no suits in any OF our
Courts which can compare with it in age. 1t is
stated that the celebrated Count Egemont, who
was bcheaded at Brussels in 1868, by order of the
Duke Of Alva, figured at one time witness in
it. The dispute was between the Arenberg family
and the family of Mandcrschied. The law pre-
cess began in 1889. and the subject in dispute was
a sum of about 100000 thelers, which the first
named family claimed from the latter by virtue of
a marriage contract which was concluded in l5l7.
Eighteen Courts have in succession been occupied
with it. in the last place that of Munster. The
Superior Court at Berlin has condemned the Man
derscheid family to pay to that of Arenberg, the
sum claimed bat without interest, and has deci eed
that each party shall pay its own costs, the whole
of which amount to half as much again as the capi
tall This is then a case, in which, if ever, the
Saxon proverb is true, that he who gains his cause
losses his money. Boston Advertiser.

Let me be for moment the echo of your poIiti-
cal eegies: what have become of the monuments
of civilized pride Are not Thebes and Babylon,
Athens and Carthage transformed into heaps ol
rubbish and what a prognostcation for London
and Paris, and fer those modern Empires whose
mercantile strife and madness already oppress
Reason as they do Nature Tired OF eur So
cieties, she overwhems them one after another,
and derides without, distinction our pretended vr-
tues and our crimes: laws reputed as oracles of
wisdom, and the ephemeral codes of political
agitaors, lead alike to political shipwreck.
As the hight of disgrace to our political sciences,
we have seen the rude Legislation of China and In
dia brave for four thousand years the sythe OF lime,
while the prodigics of civilized PoIitcs have passed
like shade. Our Sciences, after so many efforts
to consolidate Empires, seem only to have laborcd
to furnish objects of destruction for Revolution and
Vandalism, which break out periodically and de-
stroy in short time the works of centuries
Some monuments have survived, but for the shame
of civilized Politics. Rome and Constaniinople
formerly Capitals of the greatest OF Empires, have
become two Metropolises of folly; in the former,
the temples of the Caesars invaded by The Gods
of Juaea: a, the Bosphorus, the temples of Chris
tianty are defled by the Gods of Ignorance. Here,
ST. Peter is raised upon the pedestal of Jupiter;
there, Mahomet places himself upon the altar oi
Jesus. Rome and Consantinople! Nature has pre-
served you to devote you the contempt OF the Ma
tions which you had enchaine3: you have become
TIVE arenas c: political uggeries. which have spread
their evils TO the Orient and TO the Occideut- Ma
ture insults by your degradation the great Empire
which she has destroyed; you arc two mumnies,

served to the monuments and works of Civilization.

A LITTLE WORD.

A little word in kindness spoken,
A motion Or a tear,
Has often healed the heart that's broken,
And made friend sincere.
A word-a look-has crush'd 10 earth,
Full many budding flower,
Which had smile but owned its birth,
Would bless LIES darkest hour
Then deem it not an idle thing,
A pleasant word to speak,
The face you wear, the thoughts you bring,
A heart may heal or break.

Up from your sloep, ye dead |!
Who here SO bravely fell,
Where sacred blood was shed
Till these old hills were red,
If chronicle saith we'll:
Up from your sleep, and tell
Around this hoary hight,
Your legions l evoke -
Shades Of that bloody fight.
Come in your ancient might,
In thunder, flash, and smoke!

In midnight's deep reposo,
The watchers startling call,
To arms to arms = uprose;
The rushing columns close;
One oath the pledge Of all
I'VE conquer, or we fall =
Beyond this old redoubt,
Wealth's desecrating hand
Hath plowed your footsteps out;
But yet | hear your shout
Stand, comrades firmly stand!
Death for our native land -
There STERLING to the fray.
And SULLIVAN rush BY

This is Deaths harvest day.
Ths Brton presses nigh;
On 10 the charge and die
All vain the valor there -
Sweeps down the broad hillside
A foe that doth not spare
Nor youth, nor hoary hair;
Wild Ruin spreading wide,
Down pours the living tide
Yet, as the tefcest wave
That thunders DER the main,
A deep, deluging grave,
The daring breakers brave
Those rock.liks ranks disdain
That death.food OF the plain
Now hilt to hilt the strife
Burns high the deadly ire
And reeks the thirsty knife.
AS spouts the ruddy life,
Where brother, son, and sire
In fell embrace expire
o sad, soul-sickening hour
Weep, Island for the wo
That purchased Freedoms dover.
o bloody hand OF Power!
A Nations tears still flow
For Guilt. doomed long ago.
The victory is won;
No guards the vigil hold;
The chivalry is done;
Lies hushed the rusting gun,
Where, believing, it rolled,
That fearful day Of old.

When shall Oppression fee,
And Earth be pure and lree'

MIR. EWING.
-Four columns of the Intelligencer were occu-
pied yesterday morning by the late Secretary of
the Treasury, Mr.. Ewing, in the attempt to
prove serious charges against the President in
reference to his conduct in relation to the cele-
brated Bank Vetoes
The whole subject may be disposed of in a
few words.
The President was not opposed to Bank or
Fiscal Agent, except, SO far as this, that he
would not agree to sanction such an institution
with the power to make discounts.
Read Mr.. Bells letter of resignation, and it
wilbe seen that he states this point in the Ian
guage of the President himself. No stronger
evidence can be adduced than Mr.. Bells letter
furnishes on this point.
The President is represented as declaring
ensphdtically that he never would agree to a
Bank of discount
Now, what was done? Let any one look at
the bill which it is alleged was prepared in ac-
cordance with the wishes of the President, and
one who runs may read the poaoer of discount
in the clause authorizing the purchase and sale
of bills of exchange. This feature in the bill,
framed as it was, went directly in the teeth OF
the declared wishes of the President; and those
who prepared it may consider themselves suffi-
GENTLY fortunate if they escape the charge of
seeking to circumvent the President by sub
terfuge.
This lie tho whole nattar

We are glad this opportunity is afforded

tce The public may expect a candid and
elaborate exposition of the history of the vetoes,
and of the conduct Of all concerned, in few

whether any of the ''retired Cabinet" will ever
rake it up again, when we are done with it.

THE ADMINISTRATION.

There is fair prospect that the present national
administration will acquire the distinguished honor of
bringing all our difficulties with England to satsfac-
tory adjustment The mass of the people like the
position of the administration, because, belonging to
no party has nothing to do but the country.
They are sick of that organized partisanship which
puts the party first, and the country afterward The
administration of President Tyler is almost under a
necessity Of acting with public spirit. Continued and
opposed by the two great parties, it necessarily falls
back upon the mass of citizens. 1t has no other
friends. The hope Of reward may ultimately attach
a multitude to the President, but at present there
seems to be no chance that decided Tyler man
pass the Senate 1t is chiefly therefore, unpurchased
support which the President must have, if any This
support has enabled him to procure the passage of all
the laws which important for the country spite
of actions that in fact the administration supported
visibly by more than "corporal's guard" in Con-
gress does, by virtue of public sentiment hold for all
essential purposes majority in both Houses and its
strength from this source is increasing daily

ABUSE OF MR.. CLAY,

We are somewhat surprised as well as amused
at the indignation which some of tie admirers
of Mr.. Clay, profess to feel at what they style
our abuse of their idol. We confidently plead
not guilty to the mputation. We have dis
cussed the public acts of Mr.. Clay but our
language did not assume the coarse complexion
of abuse. Were we however guilty of the
crime charged against us, the first stone would
come with an i'll grace from him or his friends.
The Clay papers throughout the country TEEN
daily with vituperation against any one and eve
ry one who is suspected of the treason of not
paying entire fealty and obedience to the dcta-
tor. He himself has given the sanction of his
example for the use of the coarsest ribadry. No
one has so often desecrated the dignity of the
Senate by furious outbreaks of passion, and vio-
lent coarseness of language. We need not
travel very far back into our Legislative history,
to find specimens Of his reckless Infringement
of Senatorial decorum. Who does not remem-
Der his rude attack on the venerable public ser
want, Samuel Smith, of Maryland. General
Smith was one of the most distinguished SOL
ders of the revolutionary war; and afterwards
had figured prominently in the Legislative
Halls. In 1S32--we think we are correct as to
the year-he was in the Senate of the United
States, and had the misfortune to offend Mr.
CLAY. He was old-but neither his age nor his
services sufficed to secure him from the heart
lessness of the sneer, which reminded him of
his age and its infrmities. Mr.. Clay's poetical
memory gave unmerited notoriety to the mise
rable distch which he repeated on that me-
morabe occasion:
"Od politicians chew wisdom past,
And toiter on in business TO the last"
Mr. Clay, of late has frequently alluded to his
own increasing years and decaying strength. 1t
is strange that but ten years since he was not
deferred from soothing at the senile debility of
another, by the dread or presentlment that, ere
long, he might, in just retribution, writhe under
sarcasms at his own inhrmities.
We have given one specimen of the abusive
language which he was capable of uttering.
Even under the sanction of his example, we
| could not venture so far as he has gone.

THE PATRIOT AND EAGLE-lTS EDITOR
MALICIOUS PERSECUTION

MALlCIOUS
In Justice to neIghbor and, so far we know, a
personal friend, we cannot longer remain silent in
gard to the unfair and cruel combination formed by
the violent partisan presses in this State to break
down the Patriot and Eagle, and destroy the charac
ter of Mr.. Hobrook its editor "The head and
front of this mans offending appears to have been,
that he has had the independence to denounce polt
cal cques and regencies on all sides, and to defend
manfully and openly the administration of John Ty-
Ter. Fearing that the Patriot and is friends would
obtain controlling influence at home and abroad and
thus interrupt their plans and obstruct the working of
their machinery, time since they set at work in
good earnest turned their batteries upon Holbrook,
and opened raking fire upon him on all sides
The first object TO curta the circulation of his
paper, by operating, as we are credibly informed
through the postmasers and the employ of other
similar means. This plan was partially successful,
and yet the paper wagged along on its own hook as
independent and saucy as ever. The next thing was
to make an attack upon his private character, and
certain Bank pirates, with very offcous postmaster
at bis head were selected the main actors in The
conspiracy. They went to Mr.. Rogers, an ursus-
pectng and upright citizen, and by faIsehood, as 1T
appears has since been proved bya competent witn,ss
under oath, induced him to disown his signature on
q note of hand drawn by HoIbrooeex Nn the strength
of this poor Hobrook was sna,ch for forgery.
When the case came on Rogers him vas in court
ready and anxious to explain the wheeS batter, and
expose the deception by which he had been misled,
but the bank attorney would not call on him. Not
shadow of proof appearing against the accused, ne
was acquitted. About this time the Patriot was Sc
lected by the u S. Court for the publication of the
bankrupt notices. This was too much for its enemies
to bear Judge Judson was violently assaed. A
new emission of epithets was let loose, among which
Fraud forgery" scoundrel" were the mlldes
We will not follow out the detail of this most une
dual and unrighteous warfare We believe the pub
lie look upon the course of Mr. Holbrook's peIsecu-
tors in proper light and that their shameful conduct
will recoi upon their heads with tremendous
force With the political principles Of the Patrio4we
have nothing to do. We know its editor to be gen,
temanly honorable man in his private relations anu

been introduced at the dinner table. 1t will be cap'-
tai for green peas. Every eater is provided with a

much expense is saved, and people eat their fill
