ssOhier'' PRINCIPLES.

The following article, taken from the
"New York Sunday Times and Messen-
ger" shows up in beautiful expose, an
"Ohier" official. *'
The individual referred to, has been guilty
Of one ofthe greatest crimes upon the institu-
tons of our country, and as recreant to
the laws of the United States, has no right
to set in judgment upon any man, if the
statements charged upon him have been
really expressed, in public. Every man
who cherishes the safety Of the Union-who
loves the country of his birth--who wishes
to preserve indissolublel those ties which
bind the sister States in union, to love one
another, should remember that men of such
stamp as Judge Spalding, should never be
allowed to creep into authority, or with i'm
puniiy give vent to their traitorous sen,i-
ments in public: .as f,Hu
JUDICIAL NuLLrFrcArIoS.--The Judge
who descends from the bench to become
tswash-buckier in the political arena, should,
If the tenure of his office is dependent upon
his good behavior, be sumlnariIy removed.
Judge Spalding, Of the Supreme Court of
Ohio, has been, guilty Of this gross breach
Of official propriety. He has undertaken to
pre-decide, at party meetings in that State,
upon a question Of the gravest importance,
which may hereafter be argued before him
in his Judicial capacity, and has invited an
appeal TO the court over which he presides,
by promising to nullify a law Of Congress
for the especial benefit of the defendants in
specified class Of cases. We refer to cases
under the law for the reclamation Of fugi-
tive slaves. Alta late (so-called) demo-
cratic meeting in Ohio, Judge Spaiding in
formed his heaters that the fugitive slave
law was q nudity and that he would
promptly Hibernate every slave who should be
brought before him under its PROVISIONS
He also declared thai he would put down
any proceedings like those which were in
stituted in Boston for the establishment of
Shareholders claim, and the restoration of
his property. Our authority for this state
tnent is the sroledo Blade. A few days af-
ter making this extraordinary avowal, at
Toledo, Judge Spalding appeared at pub
lic meeting held az Gle velaDd, where be re-
I,ested his intention to nullify the law. iThe
Piaindeaier Of that city reports him as fol.
lows: tt }a' a 3sfA ZIG st*i1 ie
| '"l regard the late fugitive slave law rs
Unconstitutional, null, and void and say
fit proudly that shall esteem il the CROWN
ing act eftny judicial career, if can only
have slave brought before me under this
fugitive law. / will set him free ~ cheer
fully as eat meal when hungry" a1s
The Cleveland Herald attributes to him
the following language s4' 80 s"aE
sAs one Of the Judges of the highest
court Of the State Of Ohio, on my oath 1
believe the fugitive slave law nnconstitu-.
tionai, null, and void. And ! here declare
that should be as heartily glad to discharge
Ia fugitive in the hands Of the United States
Marshal under this law, brought before me
by writ Of habeas corpus, as should TO
cat a meal Of victuals when huugry." ai4

s, u ~ company' with senator Chase, -
favor abolition md againsg the con1pro-
mise Of the laN Congress-. A ppe9ecls
mors disgracefi9 has never lleen szh,etea
in this country. The higher law" has
been proclaimed in conventions, in State
legislatures, by REV members Of the House
of Representatives, and by contemplate
minority in the Senate Of the United States;
bun this is the first time, we believe, that a
Judge has deserted the tribunal Of justice,
To, deliver demagogpe harangues at factious
meetings, against a law which he cannot Vi
olate, or permit 10 be violated, wilhou!
breaking his official oath.
The Toledo Blade says thar hashe course
of bis speech at that place, Judge Spslding
announced his intention of going 10 Russia
to commence crusade against slavery and
serflom there, as soon as he had, succeeded
in aboIshing slavery in this country: Let
us hope that in order to give free scope for
the exercise of bis philanthropy, he mnybe
released Ivy the removing power in Ohio,
from the trammels which the Judicial Office
now imposes on his aspiring spirit. His
idea Of freedom is sublime. II includes
emancipation from legal restraint. His
views OF the powers Of the bench, on the
other hand, are in favor of judicial absolut-
ism. Ia arepnblic framed under his patent,
ahy Judge would be at liberty to reject from
the code any law, enacted by the rcpresen-
tatives Of the people, which did not conform
to his standard of right. The will Of the
majority would be nothing if in conflict
with the opinion Of u faction and the pri-
vate conscience Of q mongrel combination
Of the malcontent Judge and the revolution
airy demagogue, would be allowed to So
phisticase the plainest clauses of the Con-
stitution, and to override the most import
ant laws. ,,,,lsf
Fortunately our system Of government,
permits no such latitude either to its func-
tionares or to faction. Should Judge Spald-
ing attempt notification from the bench, he
will not escape its. penalties. If ambitious
Of becoming a martyr for conscience sake,
we would recommend him by all means to
commence his crusade against slavery among
the serfs Of Russia, where he would acquire
more honor. il he did not meet with more
success, than by inviting disobedience to the
laws of his country. .t........,...,.

Instead Of the joyous festivities we had this
day anticipated the enjoyment of, the sudden
death, by drowning. this morning before break
fast Of the Rev. Mr.. Hopkins, resident missionary
here, has thrown over our whole encampment q
shadow Of gloom. A multitude Of men and wo-
men, Of both races, ran to the spot where the de-
ceased was drowned, 10 search the water for his
body. His clothes was found upon the bank Of
the river, or rather the bank Of slough, now
the bed Of a pretty strong current of water. A
little Indian girl. says she saw him wading breast.
deep, toward shore and that looking again, al,
ter filing her pail with water, she saw only his
hsnds above the water. As he could not swim,
he was doubtless drowned by wadng into deer
hole. Search has been made all day, with net.
and hooks, and BY Indians diving, but as yet ID
vain. Mr. II. was good man, and has left .
most amiable wife and four children, one Of them
at the breast, in very moderate circumstances, We

Lumber Seizures.-Important Decision
.s4t rurs.as to Lumbermen. ara~ r.27


We find the following information in the
Chicago Tribune Of June SOth: g. 'asu.
"lMPoRrANT DECIsIoN.-We learn that
Judge Mclean, Of the u. S. Circuit Court,
now in session in Detroit, has reversed the
decision Of the District Court, which, il will
lie remembered, authorized the Marshal of
Michigan to seize and confiscate vessels that
were engaged ia freighting lumber cut on
the Government lands. The decision of
Judge Mclean was on an appeal Of JUDI &c
Newell, Of this city, owner of the schooner
Mahala. He gave an opinion that seizure
and confiscation can only take place for TAX
ing lumber from lands set aside for Naval
uses" ia5".a .s ...'f .He
The seizures that have been, and are now
taking place, of logs on the Upper Missis-
sippi and branches, are made on the con-
struction Of the law which Judge Mclean
set aside.-[Ga Adv. as

The CHIPPEways- On Sunday evening
we had the pleasure Of hearing the Rev.
Mr.. Bardwell deliver a lecture al the Sec
ond Presbyterian Church, IN this city, on
the Chippeway Indians. and particularly in
relation 10 those at Sandy Lake, where the
mission to which Mr.. b. belobgs is located.
He gave pitiful account of the Cbppe-
ways generally. The crop of wild rice has
failed for two years in succession, ana last
winter many Of them starved to DEATH
The country is almost wholly destitute of
wild game; and fish, roots and the bark OF
trees, aud maple sugar which they nisnn-
facture, has been their principal food The
band at Sandy Lake were better Off Than
others, for the missionaries bad taught them
to raise indian corn, and last year and the
year before they raised about three faouaaTS
bushels. We think well Of Mr.. Bartlwe!l
and his fellow missionaries for this prudent
aud benevolent precaution. Ii is the RICH,
place for those to begin who wish 20 e1ert
good influence over the inaliaus. They
understand arguments of this kind The
country is excessively cold, as all may i,nag-
inc; mercury, often congeals.yy Yet, chiiircn
sometimes go naked all winter. These 10
dams bave,no annuities from The Go, err-
ment. MIR. b. has been at Sandy Lake f1ar
years, during which time he thinks that
band have made evident Improvements.
We were glad to hear him speak of the Wig
iIent and determined efforts of GOV. Ram
sey, TO suppress the liquor traffic with The
Indians. He gave many facts and ilust.e-
tons of the lndiaa character and condition.
for which we have not room to-day Ga
