BEAUTIFUL ALLEeoRY.-we take the following
from the Springfield (Mass.) Republican:
''In conversation few days since with lawyer
who was an enthusiastic admirer Of this great man,
he related ~ us an instance in Mr.. Crittenden's
professional illustrative Of bis singular power
before a jury.
"Mr Crittenden engaged in defending man
who had been indicted for capital offence. After
an elaborate and powerful defence, he closed his
effort by the following striking and beautiful allie
CORY
80 When Cod, in HE eternal counsel, conceived
the thought of mans creation, he called 10 him the
three ministers who wait constantly upon his throne
Justice, Truth, and Mercy-and thus addressed
them Z" Shall we make man p Then said Jus
tee Oh Cod make him not, for he will trample
upon thy laws" Truth made answer also. - Oh
God make him not; for he will pollute thy sane.
tuaries." But Mercy, dropping upon her knees,
and looking UP through her tears, exclaimed. ooh
Cod make him. ] will watch over him and sur
round him with my care through all the dark paths
which he may have 10 tread" Then God made
man, and said To him, - o mani thou art the child
of Mercy 60 and deal with thy brother"
The Jury, when he finished, was drowned in tcars,
and, against evidence and what must have been
their own convictions, brought in speedy verdict
Of not guilty.

THE REPU BLIC.

in getting his vessel off the reef of Riso.
The Union's ''French relations" behaved
very "miserably" throughout that bust
ness.
Again The Union's g British rela-
tons" caught up naked Indian and
made him king OF the Mosquito, and
through him laid claim to a valuable
coast upon the gulf of Mexico. All this
was done whilst Mr.. Polk was President,
Mr.. Buchanan Secretary of State, and the
Union was organ. They permitted the
British government to consummate It's
usurpation without complaint or remon-
STRANGE. We learn, from some ominous
grumblings in the Union, that its British
relations have not enjoyed the same impu-
nifty since Mr.. Clayton undertook to
discharge the duties of Secretary Of State. "
1t was generally believed that man by
the name of Rey was kidnapped at New
Orleans, and taken to Havana, at the in
stance Of the governor general of Cuba,
and through the instrumentality of the
Spanish consul at New Orleans. The
Government demanded, in manner
which made trihing dangerous, Rey's re-
lease and his prison doors were opened
and himself brought back to the United
States. The Spanish government has not
avowed the act charged against its officers,
nor has the governor general acknow
lodged his participation in the wrong. But
whether they do or not, the Spanish con-
sui has been held to answer before our
own tribunals; and if an American jury
find him guilty of the outrage alleged
against him, one of the Union's " foreign
relations" will be apt to do the State some
service in very secure place.
Indeed, the Union's foreign affairs do
not flourish under Mr.. Clayton's manage
ment of the office of Secretary of State !;
but foreign affairs of the United States do,
| and this we think of more importance to
the people than the success of any body's

The Union AYERS that the pig iron" politicians

Such are the sneering and insulting terms which
the organ of foreign influence at Washington

iron manufacturers TO relieve themselves
from the competition of British pauper labor and to
protect the interests of Pennsylvania. The suffer
