LECTURES ON AssocIATIoN-Th advocates OF
Fourier's System Of Association have nearly COM
pleted their arrangements for Course Of Lee
lures in this City, to be given on each succeeding
Tuesday and Friday evening, commencing on
Friday of this week-probably in the Society
Library. Among the Lecturers will be A. BR1s-
BANE, w. II. CLAIMING, PARKE GOODWIN, c. ].
HEMrEL, SoLYMAN Brown and II. GREELEY
They desire nothing but an opportunity to be
heard but, to defray inevitable expenses of room
and advertising, as well as to prevent the influx
of those who run in to public gathering to run
out again, disturbing the audience, six cents ad-
mission will probably be charged. 1t is hoped
that some of those who feel deeply interested in
the alienation of Misery, the dimnution of Crime,
and the Elevation Of the Human Race, will see
fit to hear these Lectures.

The Case OF Amelia Norman.

"Vindex' writes us very forcible letter N
condemnation of the acquittal OF Amelia Norman
contending that the Jury disregarded the law and
their oaths in rendering the verdict. We cannot
make room for his article, for any intelligent
reader will anticipate its line of argument and D.
nit its force. He says,
uJssk, then. again, for | wish to be informed
On what principle the Jury who tired this cause
rendered q verdict OF acquita
We answer-On the principle that the dellhe-
rate. plotting, impcnitent seducer IS wolf, who
NAV be sho: down any how any any where by
anv GOOD shepherd whose fold he has violated
hv anv sufferer from his fendlsh Expectations
Such we understand to be the philosophy of the
rendering in the cases of Singleton Mercer and
Amelia Norman. We are not affirming the SUI
fciency of this reasoning but stating ITS exist
ence. We see as clearly as Vindcx' the danger
of permitting such considerations to influence
Judicial decisions, and insist as strongly as ne on
reform He well says,
at becomes every good citizen TO stand firmly
against the current, and save Ii possible the sutd-
tions of the country from being swept away.
True enough and the first step to be taken Is
to Make the La,osjust and equal Let the Law
provide Just and salutary punishment for the
seducer, and we will join in condemning such
verdicts But so long adulterers and libertlnes
bear sway in our halls of legislation, and SO ad-
lust the laws as to punish numerically the poor
wretch driven by hunger to theft or burglary, yet
provide no penalty for the infinitely blacker
guilt of the seducer, so long will the Human
Heart revolt against the horrible iniquity which
the Law is invoked to cover and protect, and will
impcl verdicts which condemn the author OF
ruin and the laws which shield him rather thar
the miserable victim of both. No reform can be
effective which does not touch the evil at Its
source.

II Rev. GEo B. CHgEvER lectures this even
ing in the Tabernacle on The Mixture of Ec-
cesiastical with Political Power in the Govern
ments of the Middle Ages which, 1t will be re-
collected, was the theme Of late Lecture by
Bishop Hughes from the same desk. The sub
iect is an instructive one, if treated in that large,
philosophc spirit which regards lofty topic
from every important point of view, and is eager
to profit by all the lessons it inculcates. 1t IS
one from which q liberal, progressive mind will
draw iorcible admonitions to charity and love,
while bigot will CLEAN indictments to hatred and
Ill will. What we need now to teach and learn
Is to separate the use from the abuse of Power
of whatever description; to determine not who
did wrong IN times past, but wherein is the secu-
rty against It's repetition IN the future. We need
not be told that this or that party has prosecuted
that the Catholics burnt John Huss. or the Cal.
vinists Servetus; for all this we have heard often
enough What we need is the development of
principles, the enforcement of truths which will
limit such lamentabe errors to the Past, which
they now backen and deiorm. Mr. Cheever has
the ability to do mankind service, and we doubt
not his lecture this evening will be one of decided
interest.

We find the above in thirty or forty Loco-Foco
papers. It seems inconceivable that Human Ma
turc should be guilty of the baseness here perPc-
trated, for the sake of very paltry partisan ad-
yantage. Mr.. Clay was Speaker Of the House IN
1916 and 1924, and of course did not vote on the
final passage of the Tariff bills Of those years.
but he was their ardent, effective supporter, as
every BODY knows; and in the very letter to Mr.

serve his purpose? There is not particle OF
moral difference between what is done above and
an entire forgery, though the latter is the less
cowardly. Yet men who pretend to deplore tie

acquiesce in such frauds when their party is
served by them.

POSTMASTER AT ANN ARBoR, MlcH.--lhe
Democracy of Ann Arbor held rousing meet
ing on the 9th and the citizens generally held
another on the 10th, to demonstrate against the
base intrigue by which the late Wing Postmas-
ter, Mark Howard, was removed, and most OBJ
noxious Loco Foco, George Danforth, appointed
in his stead The Democracy had previously
held meeting and resolved that if any change
were made, Mr.. r. P. Sinclair should be ap-
pointed; but few wircworkers at Ann Arbor
and Detroit took the matter entirely into their
own hands, and procured the appointment for a
Van Burenite who has been specially abusive Of
President Tyler, and is obnoxious to almost every
body in town. They resolved at both meetings
to have the mischief undone, but we apprehend
those who had power to do 1t will have power to
prevent undoing it. Mr.. Howard has been an
excellent Postmaster, and will doubtless be so
again after March, 40.

Ny DEAR SIR-I see letter in the Tribune,
of to-day, addressed to me, by James M'Cune
Smith wish, then, to say to Mr.. Smith, with
the utmost kindness, that have no time, and
sec no occasion, for a newspaper discussion be-
tween us. The press is open to him, and shall
be glad to see what he has to offer to the public
on the subject Of emancipation. If he is to
have any reference, however, to my opinions
would advise him to wait till | publish my Lee
ture, which shall do ere long
am, very respectfully, yours, ORVlLLE DEWEY.
[U7 It's proper that we should here state that
DR.. J. MCUNE SMITH is a graduate Of the Uni
versity of Glasgow, and, though partly of African
blood, gentleman Of eminent intellectual attain
ments and moral worth. 1t has been absurdly
suspected that he did not write the letter signed
by him which appeared in our last; but he Is
widely known here as incapable of employing any
one to write for him and abundantly capable OF
writing for himself. Ed. Trlb.J

IyD1ANA.-Thc Legislature Of this State ad-

cos thrust intoit by naked party vote, (Ayes "A,

each stockholder should be liable for any debts
it may contract-so the bill was killcd-a most

We have not hitherto named Mr. Howard in con-
necton with this matter, for we felt thata shadow OF
imputation on him-even blundering impression
in the public mind that he had been connected with
men deemed capable of robbery-might be injurious
to him in his extensive business. But now that
every shadow of imputaton is disspated we rejoice
to see that the press is speaking out in defence of
