Abduction of Rev.


The Republic, commenting on this
transaction, observes:
We do not hesitate TO say, from pc.
rusal of all the evidence, that there has
been more perjury and vllany disclosed
on this trial than ordinarily meets the
eye or ear of any Oold Bailey lawyer.
II can scarcely admit of doubt, that bribe.
ry TO an immense amount has been en-
ployed, to suborn witnesses and induce
them TO forswear themselves.
We cannot believe in the innocence OF
the Spanish consul, The weight of cred
IDLE testimony satisfies US that Garcia was
tIaudnlenty, if not forcibly kidnapped
and carried on board the Mary Ellen.
We doubt the innocence both of the cap
tam and crew of that schooner We be-
fieVe that Garcia, who left New Orleans
without single change of clothes, was
put on board the American vessel, An
drew Ring, nomlnally for quarantine, but
really Tor prison; that vessel being all
the time kept under the guns of a Span
ish man. SO that she could not pos
slble escape out Of the harbor with Gar
cla on board; while the fact of his per
forming quarantine in an a merican yes
sci was bur trick of the crafty Spaniard
who governs that island, to induce the
people of the United States 10 suppose
that Garcia was free. We have not a
doubt that the confession of Garcia 10 our
consul, Mr.. Campbell, in the presence OF
the captain of the port, that he came vol
unfairly from New Orleans, was an ac-
acknowledgements extorted by fear of death,
and that he has long since retracted 1t, il
he has not gone to his grave. We learn
from Havanna that the captain general
has refused permission to Mr.. Campbell
TO visit Garcia in prison, and when we
last heard from him he was confined on
board Spanish man of-war.
A few days ago, in our anxiety fol
Justice Hnthis business we published the
I Spanish consul's defence without one
word of comment. The story was artfu
/ ly drawn up, as we now believe, TO con-
ceal his guilt. Garcia was kidnapped
because as the second jailer of the prlsor
at Havana, he had aided in the escape o
Villaverde, who was confined in dungeon
for high treason. The Count of Alec,
has been, we fear, gully of aiding anc
abetting in this infamous act. How
much money has been expended in bribins
witnesses at New Orleans, as well a.
agents engaged in the abduction of Gar
cla, we have no means of knowing.

The Charm of Cleanliness.

A white-yellow cravat or shirt on man
speaks at oace the character of his wife
and be you assured that she will not take
the pains with your dress that she has
never taken with her own. Then the
manner of putting on the dress is no bad
foundation for judging,-if it be careless,
slovenly, if it do not properly fit: no mat
ter for lis mean quality; mean as II may be
it may be neatly and trinity put Oh; and II
it be not, take care of yourself. for, as you
will soon find to ycur cost, sloYen IN one
thing is sloven in all things. The coun-
try people Judge greatly from the state OF
the covering of the ancle; and if 1t be not
clean and tight, they conclude that all out
of sight is not as it ought to be. Look al
the shoes; if they be trodden down on one
side, loose on the foot, or run down at the
heel, it is very bad sign; and, as to slip
shod, though at coming down in the morn
ing, and even before daylight, make up
your mind to rope, rather than live with
slipshoG wife, Goblet.

Ink is the blacklist sea on which thought
rides at anchor.
The tone of good company is marke d
by the absence of personalities. Among
well informed persons there are plenty of
topics TO discuss, without giving pain to
any one present-without submitting to
poorer creature, the wag that plays upon
him.
Stree the generality of persons act from
impulse, much more than from princi pie,
men are neither SO good nor SO bad as we
are apt TO think them.
Some men in the world advance like
crabs, by their walking con
trary 10 every one else.
Order is the sanity of the mind, the
health of the body, the peace of the city,
the security Of the state.
What blockheads are those wise per-
sons, who think it necessary that a child
should comprehend every thing it reads.
Industry, economy, and p .udence, are
the same forerunners of success. They
create that admirable combination of pow
ers in one, which always conduce to even
tual prosperity.

of moral improvement; to hasten the COM

general knowledge shall chase away the
lazy, lingering mists, even from the base

is high calling, iii which the most splen-
did talents and consummate virtue may
well press onward, eager to bear part.
Happiness doats on her works, and is
prodigal to her favorite. AS one drop of
water hath an attraction for another, SO do
felcities run ints feliciues.
There are some minds which we must
leave TO their idiotism.
No one can be happy withyut friend,
and no one can know what friends he has

Il is refreshing even to look upon true
and real American, with his swinging gait,
in the full consciousness of his manhood.
There is something even in his appearance
{ ferent from other people. 1t IS not
recklessness, not rudeness, not isolation,
not misanthropy. Nothing of this sort is
seen. And yet there is an air of perfect
independence, and freedom, consciousness
of strength and power, repose in the midst
of his activity, calmness and dignity with
profound emotions. An American, more
than any character it was ever my happl-
ness to study, looks like man who IS
sensible that he carries his own destinies
about him; that he is complete in himself;
and also that he is self-acting, selt-movlng
intelligence; that he has to shape his own
course and become the architect OF his own
fortune. He does not seem to be looking
without to catch the chances of same stray
events by which to fashion his life; his
thoughts are steadily fixed upon strength
ening his own resources, and he is always
LAYING in a stock for the voyage upon

AS the first low vow ofloye!
