placed in strong contrast to the too common delays

perpetrators of which are, in fact, more censurable

knows no mercy. The requirements Of the law

tust, anticipating, month AFTER month, settle
ment, when a mere expression Of their fears, in
the proper quarter-a public exposure OF the me
thods employed TO deprive them Of the use ol their
own weallh-would lead to a more summary set
dement, than attends the action of the dishonest
executors
The whole probate system, however we'll de-
signed, is lex in it's execution. The forms of law
are complied with; but too much latitude is given
to those who can only find the shadows of bonds
men and who thus prepare the way for whole
catalogue OF errors. That some reform is needed,
no man can doubt and we have no doubt that the
public good will eventually demand a greater pub
lcity of the acts of executors and administrators
than at present exists. The system is too close
TOO little open to public opinion-and consequently
men are encouraged in perpeHating acts, which,
were they fully kaown, would bring upon them the
csnsure Of the community There are many
widows and orphans who know well the justice OF
these remarks; and that the public may not sleep
on the subject, we shall make it point of public
interest TO hereafter illustrate the value of reform
in the actual operation of our probate courts.
FREE Soil Caucus IN WASHINGTON We under.
stand that free soil caucus was held recently
in Washington, at which the Free Soil members OF
Congress decided that their best policy was, to
maintain "masterly inactivity" This is the first
occasion on which we have ever known them to
evince any wisdom. The probability is, that when
their terms expire, their constituents will give
many of them abundance of opportunity to practice
inactivity, by keeping them, and all such dema-
gogues, at home. We are informed that the Sew
ard clique are endeayoring TO drive bargain with
the administration, and to agree to keep quiet if
some concessions are made to them in the way of
Office. 1t is to be hoped that Mr. Fillmore will
spurn them as they deserve. Contamination is ia
their very touch. They should be allowed to fall
back into their original nsignifcance. Traitors as
they are, they ought to be contemned and despised
by all good Americans

In consequence Of the announcement in both
houses, yesterday, of the death of the Hon. Amos
T.. Wood, Representative Of the Sixth Congress
siona District of Ohio, no business of consequence
was transacted in Congress
We publish, in another column, under the tele-
graphic head, synopsis OF the proceedings of
great Union and Constitution meeting held at Utica
yesterday. We are rejoiced TO see the movement
which was FIRST commenced in Castle Garden, max.
ing such great progress it does. 1t is right and
proper that the remnant of fanaticism should be
put down, and that the North should prove to the
South that they are willing to abide by the Consti-
tuition and its compromises, and TO maintain and
obey all laws passed in pursuance OF it. Accord
ing TO our accounts, the meeting yesterday, at
Uuca, was very enthusiastic.
twill be perceived by our telegraphc dispatches,
that Halifax, in Nova Scotia, has been visited by
a tremendous conflagration, which destroyed the
barracks and two eRtre streets Of houses. Some
of the most awful fires that have occurred on this
sontiAent have taken place in the British provinces.
