The Case Of Mr. Tarashsr,

The report that M Thrasher had been sent 10
Spain is confirmed, lie was tried and condemn
ed without a hearing by Court Martial a, H.
vana, consisting Of a Bsigadier General and six
officers Of the army, who in a time Of profound
peace tried the prisoner, heard the evidence and
proceedings connected with his arrest read, in
his absence, and only summoned him from his
dungeon to receive his sentence. lie was not,
even furnished witha copy of the charges against
him;-and after this mock trial an Americ IN cit
zen is sentenced u labor in chain. eight years in
Africa and pay the COS, Of proceedings against
him.
We hope that our Government will demand his
instant restitution 10 lbertyunder penalty OF CON.
pulsoyy measures against Cuba aud Spain. Mr.
Thrasher ought to have been released long ago.
His case has become on. Of National Importance
and in WHICH the Nationa. honor is concerned.-
Personal liberty is a mans most sacred possess

It should have been taken away from any Amer.
lean citizen by the mockery Of sham trial, or
even that he should even have been Subjected 10

Henry Clay.

The resignation of his seat in the Senate.
and withdrawal from active public lie by this
veteran Patriot and Statesman, will be received
all over The country with every manifestation Of
regret and sympathy, for his Affections.
No public man ever endeared himself more TO
the people than Mr. Clay. Through the long Pc
rod of hs active political life, he has had many
and bitter and powerful enemies, Blu, no one Of
any party can question the purity of bis purpose.
or the great ability he has always brought to the
advocacy of every cause. he has espouscd.
His career may now be considered as drawing
TO a close. His name has lately been mentioned
in connection with the Presidency, but not after
the arrival Of Mr. Clay at Washington at the
commencement of the present Session of Con-
gress. His determination was fixed and raaster-
able, that no persuas!ons nor entreaties should
induce him to be again candidate for the psesi-
dency, Whatever he has had power TO do for
the country is nearly accomplished.
The telegraph Informs that he has resigned his
seat in the Senate on account of his i'll health,
and will spend the winter in Philadelphia for The
purpose Of its restoration, and will return to Ash
land in the Spring. Nav we not hope that the
prayers and blessings OF millions will follow him.
and that The close of his life may he as peaceful
and happy. as is course has been erentfnl and
important.

CHRISTIAN.

We cannot suffer the occasion TO pass without
Offering to our Subscribers aud friends, the com.
phments ct the season. A merry Christmas
to all! ....r.s .
Every season has its peculiar delights. Spring,
Sumner, Autumn and Winter, have each their
own charms, Poets have sung them in apropri-
ate strains, aud hearts have no doubt, beat re-
spoasvcly to the praises If each. But what sea-
is like Chris.masg The very mention of the
word causes host of pleasant memories to arise
in the breast carrying US back to boyhood, and its
sports and pastimcs, when life was withoat a
care, and hope was like long sumner day
without cloud,
Macanlay in his History Of England describing
the customs Of the people two hundred years ago,
aud the manners in which tho holy day was o5-
served, says: "Chris,mas has been from time
immemorial the season of joy and domestic af-
lection: the season when families assemble,
when children come homo from school, when
qnarrells are made up, when carols are heard in
every street, when every house Is decorated with
erergreens and every table loaded with good cheer,
Al this season all hearts not utterly destitute
of kindness are enlarged and softencd. At this
season the poor are admitted to rartakc largely
of The overtowmgs Of the ,calth Of the rich,
whose bounty specnllarly acceptable on account
Of the shortness of the days and the severity of
the weather." The historian allades also to the
excess into which some were led in their enjoy
ment of the festival, aud 10 the orders given by
lifelong Parliament FOR toe observance of the day
by the people. as II fast, and in bemoaning the
great national sin, which they and their fathers
had 80 often committed on that day by ''romping
under the mis,etoc, eating boar's head aud drink
Ing ale favored with roasted apples"
The season has for us its lessons as well as its
enlcyments While we are participating in the
good cheer il brings us. how can we rerrain from
indulgtng the wish that every one else may be as
happy as ourselves? While we are enjoying the
comforts and Injuries which abundance of this
worlds goods enables US to procure for ourselves,
does the reflection never cross our minds that there
are othnrs who suffer for the very necessaries of
life, and who at this special season Of festivity
instead of being permitted to partake of it, see
nothing but grim and unsightly visions of poverty
and hunger staring them in the face? Let us re-
member the poor, and be thankful for what we
have ourselves. So may we have many happy
returns Of the season, and the consciousness that
while enjoying the bountirul gifts Of mcrciful
Providence we have contributed as our abilities
permitted topromote the happiness OF Others.
\ merry Christmas TO all!
