AN EXAMPLE FOR LAWYERS Chnmillart.
Comptroller General of the Finances in the regin of
Louis XIV had been celebrated pleader. He once
lost cause in which he concerned, through his
excessive fondness for billiards. His client called on
him the day AFTER in extreme affection, and told him
that, if he had made use of n document which had
been put into his hands, but which he had neglected
to examine, verdict would have been given in his
favor Chamart read it, and found it ofdecisve i'm
portance TO his cause. 'You sued the defendant .
said he, 'for 20 900 livres. You have failed through
my inadvertence. 1t is my duty TO do You Justice.
Call on me in two days" In the meantime Chami-
Tart procured the money, and paid it to his client, on
no other condition than that he would Keep the trans
action secret.

~ Accounts from Washington say that Gen. lay
lor gave dinner Friday to the Free Soil members,
and that "ale, ddiugs, Tuck, and others PIES
en" Oae of the papers says sit is curious move,
and savors Of compromise with the abolitionsts. -
Such remarks this, show how little many Of the pol
iticians yet understand and appreciate the position of
the true Free Soil men, those who compose the real
democracy OF the country. The word Compromise
as relates TO the fundamental principle of excluding
slavery from the territories, and riding ourselves of it,
wherever we responsible, under the constitution,
for Its existence, is not found in the free vocabulary
II there is to be any compromise those questions
must be among Others than free soilers or it must be
made by others coming to the free soil standard.
We are amazed at the apparent indifference with
which men talk of compromising such great and vital
prncpe involving, it does, moral responsibilities of
the gravest character. Why is it that men will not
come to learn and consider, that, to swerve one iota
from the ground the free soil men have taken incurs
moral guilt. If slavery is extended to the territories
those who sanction connve it, or permit it, know
ing what is going on, make themselves personally res
ponsibe for the crime and suffering, for the moral po-
tica, and social wrong, which will follow IN the train
OF slavery in those vast regions.
we nope, seriously, that the day of compromises,
questions of principle, past. When the constitution
CT the country formed, the States had decided that
there should be slaue States BY the ordinance
OF 81, they had torev excluded slavery from all the
territory belonging to the republic The constitution
was therefore made and ratified by all the parties with
the express understanding that slavery should be con-
fined to the limits then occupied, and that all future
States, to be admitted to the Union should be free
Had this been adhered to, and had the North never
suffered the principle to be compromised the whole
question would have remain settled slavery would have
quietly submitted to the terms imposed on it, and we
should not have its uphoders threatening the sub
version of the Union if all its unreasonable and outrag-
eous demands are not complied with Every new con-
cesson but emboldens it enlarge its demands till it
now claims to have every thing its own way at the
pride of the integrity of the Union. We trust that the
men OF the North in Congress, will take the right
stand-not in provoking or offensive manner but
calmly, fearlessy, and decidedly, as question of right
which cannot be yielded any consideration If they
do, the matter may be settled without ny serious diff
eulty but if they YIELD long years of struggling and
strife will yet be before us, and the disastrous conse
quences of such uncaed for concessions can hardly be
estimated

INTERESTING FACT IN GRArrGNG Du

BENEvoLENCE OF THE DEITY. The Crea-
tor might have stored the earth with all that was
necessary to mans support, and yet have Withheld
from it every vestige of beauty. Copper and iron,
tin and coal, might have existed in abundance,
though the darkness of the mine had remained unt
by solitary gem. 1t is no more necessary to her
existence that the jewels should blaze upon the brow
OF the fair one, than is that the flush of beauty
should mantle her cheek. Earth might have
yielded peneous crops, and golden harvests, though
her quiet valleys and her mountain tarns had never
bushed with the beauty ola solitary flower; the for
ests have yielded timber for the service of man.
though they had never been an orchestra of sweet
sounds and Eolian harpings, echoing with the mel
odies ofmyriad-throated song. A thousand streams
might have glided past his dwelling though the gran
deur of the cataract, the music of the waterfall the
placid beauty of the lake, and the hoary solemnity
Of the ocean, had remained forever unknown. And
the heavens themselves might have been black
pail instead ola jeweled curtain, hiding the city Of
God! But the Creator has not contented Himself
with simply mnistering to mans physical nature,
but by tl'nglng beauty with lavish hand over this
gorgeous world, he has mnistered to the higher and
nobler desires of the spiritual
