" The appointment of ABBOT LAWRENCE,
as Ministerto England, foreshadows the policy
of the present "no-party" Wing administration
in one respect, at least-the Tariff Mr.. Law

factories. Heis the same Abbot Lawrence who
offered 100000 for the nomination of General
Taylor for the Presidency. Did he calculate on
making that sum out of the administration in the

From the Maysville Herald
s1IOMEsTEAD EXEMPTION.

We are gratifed that the propriety of engraft-
ing provision in the new constitution, making
it incumbent on the legislature of the state, to
pass laws securing to every head Of a family, a
certain amount OF real and personal property,
exempt from execution is attracting the attention
of the press, and Of the people, in various parts
of the State.
Such laws to take effect upon contracts made,
or debts contracted aftertheir enactment, could
work no injustice to any one, and would often be
the means ofpreventing the pauperism, prostitu-
ton and ruin Of families, turned out upon the
world, by the drunkenness or prodigality ct a ia
ther & husband. Indeed the unerring indications
ofapproaching worhlessness, would check the
credit and often prevent the ruin of the luclless;
ifthe creditor portion OF the community were as
sured that the cottage and its few adjacent acres
the bed and COW and other property necessary
to the sustenance of family, could not be reach
ed by execution.
Itwould perhaps be we'll for candidates for
the convention to be called out Oh this deeply in
teresting question, which has occupied the atten-
ton OF many of our sister States of late years. and
has been favorably acted upon by six or eight of
them at least, We shall take an early occasion
to give orr views OF the policy of such laws,
]y promising at present, that our judgement APP
proyesthe principle.

~ Mr.. JACOB SHIRLEY, a son OF MIR. Jona-
than Shirley, Of this county5,but for some years
resident of Rockingham, left that county about
the middle of April last, with his family, for In
diana. After spending few days with his
friends in Augusta, Mr.. Shirley started on his
Journey and arrived safely at Cincinnati; here, he
became somewhat indisposed; not, however, con-
fning'him to his bed, and he proceeded on to
Louisville, Ken, at which place he was attacked
with Cholera, where he died, in a land of stran-
gers, though among friends, for the Sons OF Tenn
perance, of which Order he was member, paid
every attention to him, and rendered the last sad
office of consigning his body to the tomb. Some
one, an old acquaintance of the father, hearing
the name of Shirley, made himself known to the
widow, and rendered his kind offices, but the
"Sons" were in advance, having paid her pas
sage in boat about to start from Louisville; and
leaving the remains Other deceased husband to
the care of her new friends, she sat out, with
a sad and desolate heart to her home i'll the
West, not, however, without invoking blessing
upon those who had been friends to her. The
anguish of the widow must have been mitigated,
under her heavy bereavement, at this mark of
respect, frometrangers-; and the feelings of the
father must be soothed, when he reflects that his
son was worthy member of worthy Order,
and though in a strange land; strangers admins
tered to his necessities, yet around his grave they
mourned the loss of brother, while their hearts
beat in sympathy for the unfortunate widow
This incident speaks favorably for an Order
whose principles we know, have been misrep-
resented.
