ner's jury nor a jury in the criminal
.courts-thesc are well enough in heir
Hway-but tothe cases where character
and property are discussed, where Just
ice in matters civil is conided to the
discretion of ones peers.
True. the trial BY jury is q beautiful
conceit. A citizen OF the United States
TO be tried by his peers! Itslooks vast
y well on paper there is something il
the vf,ry sound that excites ones Amer
iican feelings. But, my dear sir, theory
his one thing, practice another:
And Why Z Because, sir, peer is q
word Of very ambiguous Specification in
this free and glorious republic.
The theory saith that litigation be-
tween merchants involving thousands.
Of pounds shall be arbitrated BY mer
chants possessing thousands Of pounds;
that mechanics shall mete out justice 70
mechanics; entlemen Of leisure to gent
lemen Of leisure, and 50 on: And in
deed this theory, carried out, would SO
cure the end and aim Of justice.
But look at the practice. The nler-
chant, the gentleman Of wealth, what
ever may be his vocation, disregards
the summons ofthe court 10 attend as
Juror, and pays his fine, because he car
afford it.

necessity OF getting rid Of Hannibal and
his forces. So he determined to lead an
army into Africa and threaten Carthage
and thus make it necessary for Hanni

This scheme had its intended effect
and in all time, this retaliating upon an
enemy by adopting his own tactics, Is
called carrying the war into Africa.

the Galena miners used to appear in

we do, of the virtues and piely of the Rev.
gentleman alluded lo.-Rambler.
The Rev. DR.. Capers, in letter to the
editor of the Piltsburg Christian Advocate,
correcting mistalemenl of his views in
relation to slavery, as connected wiih.lhe
Office of Bishop, for which he was recon
meuded, says "After the death of my
former beloved wife, % years ago, having
a few negroes in my possession, | felt in.
cined to try what they could be induced
10 do for themselves, and gave Them the
use of farm in a good: of culliva-

sing them that if they should only keep
themselves and the farm without expense
toalne, would continue them as they
were, under the protection and advice Of
one Of my brothers hard by. Ii resulted
as was advised it would. They did not
make corn enough, or provisions of any
kind, TO subsisi them; planted little cot
ton, but neither ploughed nor hoed it, so
that it produced not one pound; made way
with all the stock. except the horse, one
COW, and few molhertheless pigs in mis-
cradle plight; lost most Of the farming
ulensiIs-and, in word, sunk four or Eve
hundred dollars for me in one year. But l
did mol emancipa,e them. only proved
that they could not bear it. Nor havei l

We cannot forbear to copy also the ad-

so with The higher satisfaction, as its ex-
