The ILL-LooKING loRsE-A Pun
THAT WAS NO JoKE.-A Frcnchman,
near the Canada line, in Vermont, sold
a horse TO his Yankee neghbor, which
he recommended as being a very sound,
seryiceabe animal in spite of his unpre-
possessing appearance. To every en-
quiry of the buyer respecting the quail
ties Of the horse, the Frenchman gave a
favorable reply-but always commenced
his commentator with the deprecatory
remark. He's not look yer good. -
The Yankee, caring little for the looks
of the horse, Of which he could Judge
for himself, without the sellers assist
anco, and being fully persuaded, alter
minute inspection, that the beast was
worth the moderate sum asked for him,
made the purchase, and took hlm home.
A few days afterwards lie returned to
the seller in high dudgcon, and declar-
ed that he bad been cheated IN the
quality Of the horse. Vat is de mat

Definition of a Yankee.

AS the Yankees are creating no little ex-
element in the commercial, political and
military world, we give the definition of a
genuine male Yankee that may not be con-
sidered amiss.
A real genuine Yankee is of animation,
checked by moderation, guided by deter
mination, and supported by education:
He has veneration corrected by tolera-
ton, with love of self-approbation, and
emulation, and when reduced to a state of
aggravation, can assume the most profound
dissimulation for the purpose of retaliation,
always combined, if possible, with specu
lation.
A real live Yankee, just caught, will
be found not deficient in the following quail
tiles =
He is self-denying, always trying and
into everything prying.
He is lover of piety, proprlety, noto-
ricty and the temperance society:
He is a dragging, gagging, Dragging,
striving, thriving, swapping, jostling, hust-
ling, wrestling, musical, quizzical, astro-
nomical, philosophical, poetical, and com
ical sort of q character whose MAJ lies
destiny is to spread civilization to the re-
motest corner of the earth, with an eye al
ways on the lookout for the main chance.

The Case Of Henry Long.

Nothing was done yesterday in the Slave
Case now before Judge Judson on account
of the Judges illness, so the case stands
over. Should the Judge recover, it will of
course be taken up day.
The feature in this case which seems to
us most revolving is presented by the ultra
mercantile Press and Public Opinion of our
City. These do not say, Give the man
fair trial-Presume his Maker his only
master until some other shall have estab-
hshed legal title to him'-but tjust as in
the case of Adam Gibson in Philadelphia)
they assume that he is of course the slave
for whom he is taken that his defense is
all sham-and that whoever resiSts his sur
render as fugitive, no matter in how legal
and peaceful manner, is trying to rob the
STAKEHOLDER of his property and TO nullify
the Fugitive Slave Law.
The array of legal talent brought against
this mans freedom must strike the most
careless observer. Mr.. George Wood ap-
pears in the case as the regularly retained
and vell-paid attorney Of the Union and
Safety Committee who have thrown their
potential weight (of purse) into the scale
of the claimant. If Henry Long is the
man he is claimed to be, he has been W, *
ing out several years in Richmond, earning
by hard service some ten TO twenty dol
lars per month, which his alleged master
has received and enjoyed, leaving him to
earn more 10 90 the same road. Well if
Long chose TO work on that lay, we have
nothing 70 say; if he chose not to work so,
and the law Of Virginia chose to make him,
that strikes US as hard kind of law, but
We do not make Virginia laws and cannot
alter them; but how any human being, or
knot of human beings, having no pecuni-
airy interest in this case and no, being them
