The case Of Driskpll VS.. Parish, upon
which the Jury disagreed at the last term Of
the Circuit Court, is mp again for a hearing.
and its rial will probably be'one Of the most
Interesting OF the present term. Il Is an ac-
ton Of debt, for a penalty. There are four
counts in the declaration Of the plalruil.-
One charges the defendant with on StruC,irT
the arrest ola negro woman, another with OH
s%truc'lng that of "A negro boy. slaves OF the
plaintiff. The other TWO counts charge the
defendant with harboring and cOncealIng the
woman and child respectively. Under each
count a penalty Of five hundred dollars is
claimed.
Tue action is brought under the law of
Congress OF Feb. IL, 1893, respecting "fugi-
lives from justice, and prTsons escaping from
the service nt their masters" The 4th Sec
ton of this statute provides that If any per
son shall knowingly and willingly cbS,rnr'
or hinder The claimant of fugitive slave, his
agent or attorney, in Selling or arresting d
fugitive from labor, or shall hdrbOr or con,
zeal said fugitive after notice that he or She
is a fugitive, such person shall for either Of
these offences, forfeit and pay to the claim
ant his action Tor damages, &c.
The case carries with il a peculiar interest
b, cause it is regarded as the test case on The
question of fugitive slaves. 1t will sho"
how far our Courts will 90 to sustain the
rights which the masters of slaves claim il
their recapture, and by how slight an act
citizen Of Ohio can render himself liable L
the penalties Of the act of Congress. W

Republic of Liberia.

As this interesting community have shown
themselves capable Of srIt-govrrnneut, and
adopted a Constitution modelled after our
own, copying the tree institutions of a people
among whom their race, We mourn TO confess,
have 50 long been euslavpd, we hope our 20
verumru may be the first Of the nations Of
the earth to recognize the Independence of the
young Republic, and to establish The relations
towards it implied in such recognition. Here
is a Republic, risen by no violence, establish
ed by no spirit Of rebellion or aggression,
which should he promptly taken by the hand
by our government and hOnored and cherish
ed la the spirit Of ~fralernal regard and good
will.-Gncinnof Illus.
We heartily agree in wishing that our go
vernment may extend to the Republic OF III
IBERIA, the courtesies Of intercourse, usual be-
tween independent nations. 1t is particular
~ desitahle in this case, as all attempts to
end the horrible traffic IN slaves on the coast
of Africa, must materially depend for their
success, upon the ptwer and prosperity Of
this settlement. 1t derives another strong
claim upon our consideration from the iact
that its ~ciliZcns are natives of this country,
entitled by all right, la all the privileges Of
citizenship here. but driven into exile by our
iuhumanily. We lope the government will
make no delay in establishing fan diplomatic
relations between the two countries.
The .7H1s intlmates a peculiar reason for
this step, without which it would be lmPro-
! per. that it is "a republic, risen by no vio-
lence, established by no spirit Of rebellion or
aggression" We suppose all do not under
stand this. Indeed, il would be difficult for
any unrnitiated, 10 give a reason, why the L.
nited States, itself, the most marked example
OF IA bold and successful revolutionary govern
ment, should make the very Imitation Of her
self, a reason for refusing any sanction or en-.
couragement to a srlf-made aud selfg,vrrued
republic. 1t would be equally difficult tc
find a satisfactory one, in the history Of oul
diplomacy.

large numbers Of chi zeus of the Old Domin-

parry only by evadIng the PrcriSo question
by giving up the idea OF acquiring all or
the greater part OF Mexico.
As lhatlers stand, II is evident that the
Wings and the baIdnce-ot-powr party, and
Il very few Democrats, may settle the War
question, and all the questions depending, up
on 1t. Some OF the Democrats seeing the
necessity OF adjusting the Procis0 d.BicuHY,
as the means of hdrmonizlng their party,
will, undoubtedly, go against the acquisition
If any more territory.

split Of rebellion" which, in contradiction
to all previous precedent aud our national the
Dry, on the subject Of popular government
we refused 10 recognize. II Is 10 this, we
suppose, the .Itjds refers. 1t is The Republic
Of llayli. Although its independence has
long since been fully established by the right
lul power Of an oppressed people, and has
been fully recognized by the most important
powers of Christ, ndom; although, too, our
commercial relations with it, are OF great eN-
tent aud peculiar value, requiring constant at
t%ention, our government has steadily refused
any recognition Of its existence, and the es-
Enlistment of any diplomatic connection with
il. Why is this difference !! To recognize
lIayti, would be a confession Of our national
crime-of the wrongfulness Of American Sld-

We're anchored on the cnrb.stone, Jim.
Where on we've sat Sefore;
When the patch was on your eye, jim,
And both were halfsees DER
When rum was free as air, jim,
And every man could take
A little OF the "critter," Jim,
For his gnawing stomach's sake.
Al, those were pleasant time, Jim,
Before the people grew,
So much opposed to drinking, jim.
Afraid ofge,tiog biue:
For rum was then in fashion, Jim,
And you and could lay
And soak ourselves in liquor, Jim,
From morn till close Of Gay.
Things are different now, Jim. ....-.
FIom what they once have BEEN
Our country is infested, Jim,
With crazy Temperance men,
Who are prowling through our city, Jim,
Like wolves in search of prey:

They are preaching every day.
But you and have fights, Jim.
For which our fathers fought:
And some wsu'd deprive IS now, Jim.
Ofiiberties they bought;
They'd stop the sale Of liquor. Jim.
II once they had the power.
And take forever from Us, Jim,
That precious drink Of ours.
But there's one little item, Jim,
I wish you'd keep in view
We've great men in Office. Jim.
Who think with me a,.a you,
That semp~ans, ss they term it. Jim.
II is . very dangerous cause
And think il quite imprudent, Jim,
To put in force the laws.
These men are friendly tr rs, Jiss, ....
As their every act denotes;
And al who love good liquor, Jim.
Should cas-: for thea their vctes-
To keep from the Council, Jim,
These vile cold. water men;
Then you and can guzzle, Jim,
On wh:skey, now and thea.
