The broad free land they trod.

Say what is home? world of love-
The nursery of each soft feeling
The glass each glowing heart revealing
Foretaste of an eternal home above.
Home is the wanderers place of rest;
The absent fond ones beacon light,
How welcome to the anxious sight,
Of him with worldly cares oppressed,
Home is the fond wifcs loved domain,
They be all of her happiness,
The spot which she is formed to bless,
Where peace, and love and friendship reign.
Home is the pulse of joy--the life
Of all that's worthy our possessing,
But, oh how rch how doubly blest the blessing
A home made happy by much loved wife!

IMPORTANT DECISION IN SLAVE cAsE.-ln the
United States Court Of Indiana the following i'm
porant case came on for argument the 18th ult
on demurrer. The points made, for brief sketch
of which we are indebted TO our friend j. s. Reid
esq, were the following:
lst That slavery is only State or local institu.
ton; 2. That slavery is based on local laws, not
sustained or supported by either moral, natural, OF
national law; g. That if slave escapes from the
State in which he is held in slavery, either by acct
dent, consent of his MASTER against that consent
he is forever free; A. That the ordinance Of 1857
organizing the northwestern territory, only guaran-
ties the delivering up of fugitives from labor OF
citizens of the original States; and that Missouri
from whence the slaves escaped) was not one Of
the original States, the citizens Of Indiana were MOI
bound to deliver up to Missouri her runaway
slaves.
Judge M'Lean, who presided, delivered the opin.
ion of the court. He admitted thr correctness o.
the proposition l, 9, and 2, but overruled the de
murrer, deciding that if Indiana had remained ter
ritory, under the ordinance, she would not have
been bound to deliver up the slaves; but, having
adoped a constitution, which in part abrogates the
law or the ordinance, she is bound by the United
States constitutions and Missouri, being one of the
great sister family of States, is entitled to all the
rights and privileges of the original States, from al
other States in the Union.
Reservng the further discussion of this point OF
arrest Of judgment, provided judgment should &c
for the plaintiff, the court overruled the demurrer
and the cause was put at issue, and is now ready
for trial on the merits

MEETING OF THE CLASSICAL TEACHERS OF MAssA-
cHusETTs,-On the 2Sth ult., there was large and
interesting meeting, at Boston, of gentlemen en-
gagged in various parts of the State in teaching the
classics This reunion, if we understood it rightly,
was for the double purpose of gaining information
relative to the condition of classical education in the
primary and high schools Of the State, and for in
quirng as to the best mode of creating more gen.
eral taste in the community for sound and extensive
classical attainments. Such meeting of so intelli-
gent and highly educated body Of men, could not
have been held without elicting vast deal of i'm
portant and most interesting information; and we
therefore regret that the reports Of its proceedings
as published in the Boston papers, meagre.
Various addresses were made, in which the fact of
the impossiby Of affording a collegiate education
to the community at large, and the therefore greater
Importance of establishing more elevated course Of
classical studies in the common schools of the Uni
ted States generally, were most ably illustrated and
enforced. The more frequent meeting of these gem
tlemen was urged, likely to produce alterations
and much improvement in the American system of
common school education-as likely to eventuute in
the common adoption of some one plan of educa.
ton, and also in concentrating the minds and ener.
gies of the enlightened body of men engaged in
teaching for the perfection of this common plan.
The frequent reunions Of the teachers of Germany
at Dresden and Berlin were referred to- and their
proceedings at such meetings explained; and many
interesting statistics, going 10 show how much they
were doing for the cause Of general education In
that country, were elected We feel great, very
great pleasure in bidding these gentlemen God-speed
in their patriotic efforts.

VVhig Candidate Tor Governor

Since il has been determined upon to
hold Wing State Convention for the pur-
pose Of nominating candidates Cor State
officers and for Congress, several gentlemen
have been mentioned as suitable persons to
to selected by the Convention for the Office
Of Governor. Several Of the presses in the
State have signi6ed their preference for
such individuals as they think ought TO re-
r-iye the nomination of the Convention. u
- proper and right that the subject should
,o agitated, and that the public sentiment
should be as generally and extensively ex-
pressed as possible, IN order that the Con.
ycnlion will be the better advised when it
assemblies.
We need scarcely speak Of the great ne
ccssily Of union of action in the selection
Of candidates for the next canvass, for our
opponents appear TO be determined 10 rally
their forces in the coming contest. The
Wings Of Mississippi understand well the
game played against them by their oppon>
cnls in previous contests, and they should
unite in the most perfect harmony upon a
candidate Tor Governor as we'll as for other
officers to be elected this fall.
As to the individual who ought to be Sc.
lccted for the important Office Of Governor,
IRE have our opinion and take the present
occasion to express il. We believe that
rhe nomination Of GEORGE S. YERGER,
E-q., would be received by the Wings OF
Mississippi with loud reclamation. He is
the man, in our opinion, who ought to re-
ceiye the nomination. His untiring zeal
and eloquent appeals during the last presi.
dental contest, are we'll remembered and
deeply cherished by the Wings Of this State,
aud they are anxious to repay him for his
brilliant eXertiOns in that memorable con>
test. Mr.. Yerger has the high order OF
talents, the Incorporating moral frmness
and manly tone desirable in such an Office.
Other gentlemen have been spoken of for
this ONCE, who would we'll serve the peO.
pie, and should either o. them receive the
nomination, be shall receive our hearty and
Jealous support, but we have no doubt, but
with all Difference to their talents, their ser.
vices and their political principles, " Q think
they lack in considerable degree that gen.
eral popularity which is at this time so &C
knOwledgedly desirable. Mr.. Yerger is ex.
{. tensiVely known all over the State, and can
we have no doubt, command such strength
as will ensure his election.

EAIIGRANTs TO THE UNITED STATES
The Senate Of Bremen have adopted some
very sound regulations in respect TO persons
emigrating therefrOm. According TO these
regulations. no person who has been con.
victed Of crime, or who removes TO avoid
a criminal prosecution, or who has been in
house of correction, OF is deserter from
any European army, IS to be allowed pas
sage, under a severe penalty on the ship
master and owner.
This is most salutary arrangement, and
if England and Ireland would only adopt
similar regulations, we should have fewer
emigrants to this country.
