BINDING OvER.-JGst after The opening Of
the Count of Quarter Session yesterday morn
ing, Judge Kelly said there was a matter
which he desiipd to dispose of before enter
ing upon the regular business of the day. A
bench warrant, issued against Jacob W.
Young, charging him with a Tioious distur-
bance Of the free soil meeting on Thursday
night had just been returned, and the accused
was in Court in custody of officer, James
Maginnis. in whose hands the process was
placed for execution. Judge Kelly then
made some explanatory remarks regarding
the action oil the Court in the matter. He
said, that on the previous night, a meeting of
citizens was held in the Museum, who were
in favor Of a new political doctrine. AS a
member of the Judiciary, he, Of course, could
take no part in the movement, but he felt a
determination that freedom oiithought should
be enjoyed by that as well as all other bo-
dies of citizens claiming the rights guaran-
tied to them by the Constitution. On the
morning of Thursday, he had been Informed
that efforts were making to interfere with the
proceedings Of that meeting. II had been
said to him that in the lower part Of The city
two placards. evidently with this design, had
been posted in conspicuous places. One of
these Purported to have been signed by a
respectable citizen, and invited eolored per
sons to attend The meeting. The other was
a call for a meeting at half an hour earlier
Than the free soil meeting was intended TO
be held at the Museum. when il was announ-
ced that the meeting would be organized on
the "proper PLATFORM" These facts were
communicated by persons who invoked the
power Of the law to protect them in their
rights to hold a peacable meeting. The
Court sat until a late hour in the afternoon,
and on reaching home, considerably fatigued
with the labors Of the day, he found a com
wittee Of the party who intended 10 hold the

meeting waiting for him. The committee
expressed to him their apprehension Of a dis.
turbance, and requested him TO be present at
The meeting and exercise his authority in
maintaining the peace. He accordingly &C.
companied the committee, and in The course
OF the proceedings he witnessed the grossest
violation Of order and rropriety. Judge Kel.
" spoke Of the necessity of crushing the dis
position of riot in lis incipient stage, express
sing the belief that if the law had been. upon
former occasions, put in force at the proper
time. the churches Of ST. Augustine and st.
Michael would not have blazed, or the coun-
~ been put to heavy cost in paying DANA
ges for the burning Of Pennsylvania Hall,
and for the destruction of property by mob
violence in 1914. He concluded his remarks
by ordering Young to give bail in 1900. to
keep the peace for one year. Mr.. Andrew
Miller, who was in Court. stated to the
Judge that he had no objection to enter secu-
rity for Mr.. Young in any amount which the
Court might fix, if Mr.. Young was required
10 answer at Court any charge.
Judge Kelly replied that Young was not
required 10 enter bail for his appearance, but
10 keep the peace. Young then said an
go below"-and the proper officer was direc-
ted to take charge Of him.
AIteT the regular business oi Inc Conrt nhd
proceeded for some time, WIN. B. Reed.
Esq, the representative Of the commonwealth
moved that the Court would reconsider the
case Of Young and send it before a jury.
Judge Kelly said that although perfectly
satisfied with the binding over as it then
stood. having in the interim conversed upon
the subject with the President Judge of The
Court. he had no Objection 10 comply with
the request of the Commonwealth officer,
and would hold the defendant in $4,000 to
answer at Court the charges Of riot and Incl
ting 10 riot at the Free Soil Meeting on Thurs
dav night.
James c.. Vandyke, Esq, appeared as
counsel for the defendant. aud asked the
Court upon what testimony the prosecution
was based. to which Judge Kelly said. "ny
own view" The Court informed the coun-
sci what the character Of the evidence would
be, and designed the witness who would be
required TO testify.
The bail asked for the appearance Of Mr..
Young was promptly given. and he was dis
charged from custody.-Ledger.

And Yet Another.

General Taylor bids fair TO become famous
as the writer Of many letters. Scarcely a
week passes but his prolific brain furnishes
one or more for The press ; and he is equally
an adept in writing letters declaratory or let
iers explanatory and is pretty good at any
kind except letters satisfactory. Should The

EXpediency.

Should we ask whether a man has a right
to he false To principle even for a little while;
whether he may innocen,ly do himself, or
unite with others to do that which he believes
TO be in itself wrong, no matter what may
be the end in view, the reply would proba-
bly, be an emphatic negative from the lips,
while the actions of most would declare in
the afirmative-for the doctrine Of a choice
Of evils is nearly universal. Hundreds Of
thousands will vote for Taylor, who see in
him a man stained with the blood of his mur.
dered victims, an oppressor who enchdlns
the bodies and souls Of his fellow men. And
why will they vote for him Do they es-
TEEN the man-murderer, do they reverence
the seller Of Gods imagel No, they are op.
posed to war, they are opposed to slave-hol-
ding but under present circumstances their
anti-slavery and peace principles must be
laid aside, for CasS must mt be elected. Thus
they esteem The defeat of Gen. Cass of more
importance than the faithful maintenance of
priaciple. Will God so regard itt When
he gave man the eternal law Of Right for his
government, did he intend its operations
should be suspended, and it cast aside as
worthless whenever the defeat of som Gen,
Cass was 10 be effected!
And 1t is the same in respect TO Martin
Van Buren,. Thousands who will vote for
him, are not able with all their eff rts, to re-
cognize in him their true ideal of a states.
man. But in order to swell The Free Soil
vote, they lay aside their testimony against
slavery-apparently regardless of the condi-
ton of those who are now toiling in the slave
states of this Union, that they may do some
thing to prevent its extension into other ter
ritory. They regard the election of Martin
Van Buren, as more important 10 the cause of
humanity and the glory of God. than the
faithful proclamation of thoroughgoing anti
slavery doctrine.
And we have heard it asserted-thOugh we
have no evidence but asserlion-that their are
some Disunionists who have expressed a de-
termination to forgoe their constitutional scru-
pies Just this once' and go to The ballot
box again. 1t may be that some who have
been favorably impressed with Disunion doc.
trine, whose minds have perceived the truth
Of our principles, may have determined to go
counter to their conviction of right; but the
hearts of such have never been touched with
a coal from the altar, or else they are poor,
weak creatures who are not able TO Withstand
a slight temptation. The man who believes
that the Constitution binds it's supporters TO
'deliver up" the flying bond Aan and to re.
bind the plantation insurgent, and who con-
tinues to give his support 10 that instrument,
is either a stakeholder al heart, a man whose
principles are unstable, changing with every
change Of circumstance and therefore not to
be trusted, OF else he is one who is SO weak
as hardly 10 be considered accountable for

nouncing her reinstatement. 1t was the
Salem Monthly Meeting that we censured,

bershiP restored to her by a superior meet
ing, and in spite of the most strenuous efforts

small praise is due 10 the Salem Friends for
submitting 10 what they could not help, for
undoing-whcn comprehensive wrong they
had done. But we gladly accord to them all
the praise they are entitled 10 in view of the
facts, and feel quite gratifed that the Quar-

we did.

Men may be found on every hand who
make professions Of doctrines in accordance
with the Interchangeable laws Of All Good.
but who, instead Of squaring their lives nv
their principles, square their principles by
their lives. Principle with them is an alb
straciion-a something that is not intended
for every day wear; it is like the gilt Bible
and embossed Hymn Book, which are kent
in church and used in church, so far as TO
be looked into on Sundays. Expediency,
fancied interest is the practical rule of their
life and the high and holy doctrines they
profess to believe, remain TO them mere alb
stractions, producing no change Of life, no
works Of love. Good principles are rood
things, if they lead their pcssessor TO right
action, but unless they are lived out, thew
are good for nothing. 1t is as well, perhaps
better. for men to Geliere error if thew are de.
termined TO lire error. The man who is
sincerely in the wrong, in both principle and
practice, does less harm TO the world and
can more easily be induced to lead a true
life, than he whose proft ssion is ripht and
whose actions are wrong. The worst prin-
c'ples In the universe can harm no one until
they are reduced 10 practice; and the hest
can benefit none until they are embodied in
