The Court ended lis labors or Thurs

Of 10 days, during which many important

Miss LrsIIE'S MAGAzlNE.--Thc April
n o. is on our table and is fine one: a
nong the cngravings is one called "Grand
rapa's Pet" 4 colorcd LthoIint said to be
the tand only specimen Of llatart ever
published III the |. States. The literary
matter is furnished by good writers.
We observe in the denton Pcarl'' Of
Tins week, an CniuadyCrsion upon All ar
tclo which appeared in our paper some
two weeks ago, in relation to the nou c.
lection Of ats. Senator by our )rgiala
n .. \, I a.
for 0}ioring US the "Iibuly Of speech"
and the privilege of avowing sour senti-
mcnts upon all political questions" he
certainly has lhcm, and if it were his in
tCm,lon 10 correct any erroneous idea, we
may lave conceived or advocated, we
thank him again; but notwithstanding he
LAYS hold Of our remarks with so much ap-
parent suSto, and uses thcmu with such
evident sciI-sa, sllrtion, we have TO con-
icss that hot seeing the tituess of his learn
ed and ingenious arguments, VIC remain
Of 'lhc same opinion still" Now we
a admitted, that looked at simply and ab-
Stractcdly, it was wrong for the Wings Of
the State Senate to refuse TO &C into an
election, but that taken in connection with
other circumstances it was right, remark
ing incidentally that circumstances some
times justified the killing ola fellow, al
though murder in the abstract is wrong,
and contrary to the laws OF God and
man;-lhis remark he AYERS is s'as far from
tho subject as heaven is from carth.7-
We take issue with him and contend that
the cases are parallel. Had not TIE loco
tocos the majority in the House? and did
they not whenever opportunity offered
shape their actions so as to injurc the
Wings as party? When the division of
the State into Congressional districts came
before them, did they not cndcavor to
blast forever the political prospects Of the
Wings, as far as the election oil Congress-
men is concerned, by a most absurd and
monstrous system of gerrymandcring?-
Who then showed themselves tbluded
by lac'ious spirit" about which the E.
ditor pirates? Who then "attcmptcd to
Inurc the minority" Yet under such
circumstances as these, that cdtor and his
party would ask the Wings Of the State
Sehatc TO elect /. S. Senator. We re.
peat tina! in refusing to do it, they are JUS
titled by the same natural principle that
]"si'les an individual in killing a scoun-
drcl who attempts to take his life. They
can be triumphanlly justified upon other
grounds; to which we need not refer as
We have now to DO with tia, editor on
ly.
And pray SHOT the Other remark, "tha,
tie i.ocos when ,hry have Tie powcr,tak c
advantage Of the Wings" (Which he so
"swcclingly asserts" to be ''groludles%
and false fully justified by their course
III the casr4to which VIC have referred, as
well as i'll every other case where thew
lave had the opportunity. Aye, tic cd-
tor q tic ''Pcaln knows that that remark
is based on facts truth itself, and know
In%lv prcvaIicalcs, or else he is as super
