"TnE CREoLE CASE appears 10 be regerdes W
several oil the Eastern papers as rather small ai.
lar. The course Of the English Government is
understood as simply this: That she alledgcs she,
IS not bound 10 deliver the slaves UP, to be tried
Tor the mutiny and murder, but at the same time
does not deny her obligation TO pay for setting
them free. 1t also appears to be understood that
no movement will be made inthe matter until
the arrival Of Lord Ashburton in this country"
The above pitiful paragraph is taken
from the st. Louis Republican of the 25lh,
the editor of which having for sevcra
years considered himself the whole Wing
party in Missouri, Iowa and Wisconsin
Territories, and large portion of Illinois
Now, we are not astonished when we hear
eastern statesmen, eastern editors and cas-
tern abolitionists utter such sentiments as
are in the above paragraphs; but for an
editor in Missouri-in slave State to
publish and endorse such sentiments appears
to us very strange. Rather small affair."
forsooth !! We suppose this same little
selfimportant, petty tyrant. wiliinext con-
slider Abolaionism as "a small affair p We
shall next hear we suppose, this eastern
man with Western feelings" assert, that
the course of Adams last winter, in offer
ing the abolition petition TO dissolve the
Union was "a small affair."" We really hope
however, that our late Wing contemporary
will consider well the consequences before
he joins the abolitionists. We should really
be sorry to see that once able and popular
Journal, the Republican, advocating abo-
ition doctrines. Nous Verrons
Obscurum per obscurius.-Some editors have
a singular predisposton to "speak in parallels"
to astonsh their readers with mysteries, mazes,
metaphors, and other scintllations Of the brain,
too luminous for human gaze. And to US no
darkness is so profound as that which follows an
excess Of light or all this we have on example
in the following, from the Boon's Lick Times Of
last Saturday. We are monstfous dull" 10 take
a hint, and slow 10 comprehend Can any Of
our friends in this region tell what the Times
means? If they can, (markD don't e" let on"

"Obscurum per obscurious. Jack bring
us that book of Latin Quotations; "Peri

Now let US talk English. Some editors
bave such singular and great desire to
choke their readers with dose of Latin
or French,--to astonish their readers with
an idea that ",oe' are latin scholars, that
what little of English is distributed about,
is rendered so mysterious, that very few
can understand them. Now we doubt very
much whether one half of our subscribers
can understand the quotation we have made
above, unless they have book of Latin
quotations, and then, it will be difficult, for
having sold Gus to our Love-sick friend at
Columbia, we were obliged to quote from
memory. However, we believe it is about
as correct as one half the quotations made
nowadays Our young friend of the
Patriot, being Latin scholar, Of course
can decipher it, albeit he is so "monstrous
dull" But heis sol generis (such genius)
that he may possibly "astonish his readers
with such an explanation, as will make us
"et on most bitterly. If so, why we will
give him something VERY recerche, as
they say on the continent.
