JUST PUBLISHED, DOMAT (M) CIVIL LAW
in liS NATURAL ORDER, translatedinto English
by VIM. Strahan, LID, Advocate in Doctors
Commons. Edited, from the second London Edi-
ton, by Hon. LUTHER S. CUSHING, late one of
the Judges In the Court of Common Pleas; now Lee.
turer on Civil and Parliamentary Law in Harvard
University. In vols. Royal Svo.
among the writers on the Roman Law whose
works are beat known to English and American
lawyers, and which have exerted the most infiu-
ence upon our Jurisprudence, la DoMAT, "whose
work, entitled The Cipii Lar in ix Natural Or
der" says Judge Story, preface TO Bailments)
considering the age and the circumstances in
which 1t was written, is truly wonderful per-
fornance. His method is excellent, and his mat
ter clear, exact, and comprehensive"
The object of the author, in this learned produc-
ton, was to disembarrass those Of the principles
and provisions of the Roman law which are of gen
eral interest and application, from the technical
ties OF the system, and, by presenting them in
natural and scientific method, to render them more
Ineligible, and their attainment useful and
agreeable; and, though the work particularly
intended aduned la he Eren IA iprta
dence of the age, it is not less applicable 10 every
system Of law, Of which the Roman code is either
a part, or IN which 1t is recognised a body of
written reason. Besides the general claims which
the work thus possesses 10 the attention Of the Ame
rcan lawyer, Domat has peculiar interest in those
OF the States, whose legal institutions derived
IN part from those Of France Spain, and are thus
founded III the Roman law
These reasons have induced belief on the part
OF the publishers that modern edition Of this cele.
brated work would be acceptable to the profession,
and have led them TO engage i'll a republication Of
the English translation OF il by DR.. Strahan.

The Unlon-The An.i-slavery Humbug.

It would seem that the humbug of anti-slayery ia
natcism is pretty nearly exploded even in its great
strongholds. correspondent of the Boston Post,
writing from Saratoga says:
The agitation of the slavery question in Congress-
the heated excitement of portion of the southern
press the defunct Nashville convention the horrible
threats hotheaded dsunonists neither of these
appears to have had the least effect in lettering the
fashionable people of the slave States from visiting
the north this season. Indeed, singular as it may
seem, there have been double the number of south
ern people Saratoga and the Falls this year. thus
far than there have been in any previous season
since 1874, when MIR. Polk was President. Does not
this little fact speak volumes? Will it not go far to
satisfy the candid inquiring, rejecting, intelligent
people of the United States that many of the poit
cal leaders in Congress and elsewhere have been
guilty of producing undue and unnatural excite
ment, by letting off too much steam OF gas that
they have been crying trouble danger, dissolution,
blood and murder, when neither of these really
felt to exist by the great mass of the population of
the slave States :!
There is another fact that should be mentioned in
connection with this statement. Many of our South
ern friends have brought their coored servants with
them this year, with more confidence than usual and
have not heard solitary instance of any one of
them being annoyed by abolitionists, notwthstand-
ing that, on their journey from Albany or Troy to
the Falls, they have to pass through the very hot
bed of abolitionism in New York the valley of the
Mohawk and the Genesee country. These servants
visit the springs daily and drink of their waters and
vet there are not less than four hundred free coored
persons in Saratoga employed at the hotels.
hope the time will come, and that you may live
to see it, when all the prominent politicians and
statesmen of the United States will consider it dis
honorable to throw dust in the eyes of their
pecting and less intelligent fellow countrymen, as it
is to steal and murder or do other unlawful deeds
What mountain of political sins of them will
have to throw off, and to for at the great day
| of judgment!
