RIGHTS OF Observation-Disclosures DEcIs-
IoN-The Hon. Judge Banks, in case recently
tried in Lehigh county, Pennsylvania, has given
an opinion directly the reverse of that given by
Judge Lewis, Of Lycoming, year or so ago, re-
specting the rights which parent has to con-
troll his minor children in their religious opinions
1t appears that father entered a Methodist
Episcopal Church for his daughter, girl of ff.
teen years of age took her by the arm, raised
her from her knees and told her to come home.
This produced excitement, which terminated in
violence and assault and battery, upon which an
Indictment was found and the case tried.
In the opinion of Judge Banks, given on this
occasion, the constitution guarantees the right of
every individual TO adopt any creed or mode of
worship which his conscience approves, though
this liberty of conscience is restricted TO the
worship of Almighty God, and extends to no
other worship whatever
The constitution declares that "no human
authority can, in any case whatever, control or
interfere with the rights of conscience" The
exercise of parental authority by father, so as
to control or interfere with the rights of con-
science in minor child would in Judge Bankss
opinion, be an exercise of human authority. so
as to control interfere with the rights of con-
science in particular case, whereas it is declared
that it cannot be done in any case whatever.
This, he says, is the fundamental law of the
land. II is binding upon all parents.
Judge Lewis, 1t will be remembered, gave his
opinion in similar case, that during legal mi
nority, the law of flial obedience takes the pre-
cedence of all other laws which are binding on
the child.

ties in the muliny, brought actions in the circuit
court at Brooklyn on Thursday, against Com

carried, soon after the the arrival Of the Somers.
before Judge Greenwood, on writ Of habeas
corpus but remanded back to their vessel
Commodore Perry ordered them to be replaced in
custody, and Sergeant Gerty was appointed TO
guard them. They contend that the proceed

(who is holding the circuit in Kings) declared
that he has no right to interfere with the navy

The manner in which Mr.. Clay met and treat
ed insulting epitbets, put forth by small fry OPP
ponents, is thus handsomely noticed in the last
Macon Messenger:
1t so happened that few moments before
leaving his room, one of our city papers was
handed to him containing the preamble and res
olutions adopted by the Democratic Association
OF Blbb county at late meeting. In this pre-
amble, Mr.. Clay was termed land most certainly
in very bad 1ase) "the itinerant aspirant for the
Presidency" His retort upon his Democratic
friends, for this iliberal imputation upon him,
was admirable, and couched in such language,
and delivered in such bon homne style, as to
give no offence 10 even the authors of it. He
explained the object of his journey through the
Stae-that it was in the accomplishment of an
object he long had in view, visit to his friends
in the old North ; that he was exercising priv
llege common to every one, and that the cour-
tesies and inequalities extended to him, were
not of his own seeking, and could not by him be
avoided.
He further observed, that his Democrat tic
friends, while uncourteously denouncing him for
travelling through their State as an itinerant,"
had forgotten that Mr.. Van Buren,, but few
years since, had taken an extended tour through
out the Union and had travelled through four or
hive States, in which he himself had never been,
and never expected to be ; and that as soon as
he had learned that Mr.. Van Buren, contemplated
visiting the West, he sent him an invitation TO
South Carolina 10 visit him at Ashland and that
on his approach to Lexington, he, with pro-
cesslon three times as large as the one that re-
ce we'd him here welcomed Mr.. Van Buren-that
he had Mr. Van Buren,, for whom he entertained
the most friendly feeling, at his own house, that
he killed the falted calf, and extended to him all
the inequalities his poor house afforded, and
that none were so forgeful of the common cour-
teses of life, or regardless of the sacred rights
of hospitality, as TO treat him as an intruder or
an itinerant.--Soulhern Journal.

this production
"We learn that Amos Kendall, an old man

subject of Mr.. Clay's duels, and that Locofoco
members of Congress are scattering it over Ken
