.4neliG Norman Is a name upon which, we submit with all dif;idence to Mrs. Child and to those publishers of newspapers who reproduce her fall. We honor Mrs. Child for her faith in human nature, even when degraded; for her sympathy, while sympathy was needful for support; and be- cause she did not turn away in cold dsdan ' from an erring sisters shame,'' when that sister in peril of life for crime prompted by the trenzied of wrong. We honor, yet morc-because the experiment is more iraught with personal soli- citude and sacriice--the bold beneyolencc of ma king this uncondemned woman an inmate of her own house, and watching over her reform with her own eyes but having once entered the doors of privacy let them be closed upon her. The best fortune, the greatest boon for her is that she may be forgotton of men, while in earnest humility, and repentance, and by strict and conscientious ds- charge of the duties that may be allotted to her, she seeks to reconcile herself to offended Heaven. This result, however, would be defeated by public notices about her-or public solicitude manifested in her behalf. Moreover, it were to give wrong direction to opnion to seek to enlist 1t in faror of one who-under whatever amount of palliation- did commit crime, after having falling into, and lived in the habitual practice of, vice. meritOri- ous object she cannot be, and should not be so rep
 resented-compassionate forgiveness, hope, and si- lence, may alone be properly indulged in her re- gard. Let us then hear more of the name of A. melia Norman in the public journals and espec- ially let it not, from any misjudging sympathy be pronounced with the reverence due alone to un- stained female purity.--N Y.

rhe o,d chargs of Bargain.,

Is it possible that in this day Of light and
knowledge any body really believes the story of a
bargain between Messrs. Adams and Clay in
1924? 1t really seems incredible that it should
be so, when almost all the authors Of the charge
have either directly and emphatically or silently
and virtually retracted it. But the charge is
abundantIy refuted by its innate mprobability.-
What need was there Of a bargain p What in
ducement to it Mcssrs. Adams, Jackson, Craw-
ford and Clay were the candidates for President
before the People, and the three first went up
Constitutional candidates to the House, whereof
Mr.. Clay was a Member, while his friends were
very strong there, and would probably turn the
scale in favor of either Adams or Jackson-Mr.
Crawford being thrown out of the question by
the slenderness ofhs own strength there, and the
fact that he then lay at deaths door from long
illness Mr.. Clay and his friends had now to
choose between Jackson and Adams with each of
whom Mr.. Clay had had disagreement, but that
with Mr. Adams had been slight and transient,
while his speech and vote to censure Gen. Jack
son for his usurpations and outrages in Florida
had drawn down upon him the violent, vndictve
hatred OF that savage man. Mr. Clay had deibe-
rately proclaimed to the world that Gen. Jackson
had shown himself SO lawless in the acquisition and
so tyrannical in the use OF power that he could
not be safely trusted with it in a Republic. Yet
for this rash, headstrong Chief, with scarcely
shadow Of experience in State affairs, or
John Quincy Adams, a Statesman, Civil
ian and Diplomatist Of the highest order,
who for the preceding eight years had
virtually directed, as Secretary of State,
the course of the Administration,-for one Of
these two Mr.. Clay must vote How could he
make different choice from that he did And
where could Mr.. Adams have found man bet
ter fitted for the post of Secretary of State than
HENRY CLAY? True, ii may be said they ought
to have avoided the appearance Of collision, but
this is an idea which would have suggested itself
to knaves far more readily and forcibly than to
honest men. If there had been bargain, it
would have been arranged that Mr.. Clay should
not at first take the post of Secretary of State,
but in after the affair had blown over, at the
end of year or two Gnilt is careful of appear
ances-Innocence despises and disregards them.
But, say some, Mr. Clay was instructed to vote
for Jackson Instructed ? By whom The
Kentucky Legislature SO voted bya small MAORI
ty, but what right had they to bind the immediate
