taken in this city for several years, but their cost
has denied them anything like general circula-
non. Their value, however, Is fully appreciated
by he whole profession, who, we have no doubt,
will hasten 10 avail themselves OF the opportunity
of pos.essine themselves of the republication of
Messrs. Little X Brown, which can be had at less
than one-sfth the expense of the original works.
From The Boston Courier.
The enterpising publishers have here presented
to the legal Profession, as we Judge, long-felt
dssideTatum-a lrompt, cheap, and comprehensive
series OF reports or all the decisions OF all the Eng
lish courts. The svies commences with the cases
OF the November tern. 1850; and we observe In the
hrst number decisions pronounced in Westminster
Hall on the 30th January, 1851 This is unparal-
leled despatch in the hisory of legal reporting.
Westminster is here brougi5 two years nearer to
than our own courthouse. The style in which
the work is issued reflects great credit upon the
publishers, editors, and all connected with IT,
The page is large, fair, white, and readabe. The
table Of cases and index seem to be prepared with
much care and diligence. The former strikes US as
executed on avery useful plan, referring not only
to the case ahdpage of the volume, but containing
also short abstract of the subject of each case.
The editors notes scattered through the volume,
referring to American decisions and still more to
the value of the work. The publication is to be
continued in monthly parts or numbers, making
ably low price Of S 10 per annum. We trust both
editors and publishers will receive ample remuner-
alton for the service they here doing the legal
profession
Such publication, we think, cannot fail to be
useful 10 the profession and profitable to the pub
liehers.-P Philadelphia Legal Inteligncr.

For the Camden Journal
Where Stand the People Of Ke1shaW?
No. |.


Mr.. Ediio,-It has been frequently assert
ed in the Editorial columns Of the Journal, and
also in private conversation, by gentlemen Of
considerable prctensions to intelligence, that it
is useless and idle now, to attempt to shirk
tie responsibility, that the State and District
are already pledged to separate State action,
and that it is cowardly to attempt to recede.-
This assertion has been so often repeated, TO
the good people of Kershaw, that they are like
" to be mystiied us to their true position. We
propose now, to consider this proposition, and
probe it to the bottom, in order to see how
much truth there really is in it, and whether or
not this District is actually pledged. 1t will be
needless for me to 60 into IN argument to
prove that this State is not pledged to separate
action, because believe this point is conceded
by the Secessionists themselves. If such u
pledge is to be found any where, it must be IL
mong the proceedings OF her Legislature, but
there is no such pledge to be found there. On
the contrary, if there is any pledge at all, it is
directly the other way, to cooperate" with the
other Southern States. The People nave never
been consulted about it-so it may be consi
dered certain that no such pledge is in exis.
tence. The able letter of Judge Withers, pub
lishcd in the columns of the Journal, has rem
dercd familiar to its readers, the train of argu-
ment bv which it can be demonstrated to cer-
tainty, that the State has not pledged itself in
any visible way.
Are the people of this District pledged! If
they are, it must be in one oftwo ways: either
by their resolutions passed at the different Dis
trct meetings which have been held from time
to time, or by tho election of separate State ac-
ton Delegates to the Convention. And, first,
let US consider the election. The candidates
were five or SIX in number, nominated, it would
seem, without any regard to their politics; but
the Journal insisted on the candidates pledging
themselves to separate State action, in the Con-
vontion, and finally, they were interrogated as
to this point, by a correspondent of your pa
per- signing himself "BUFFALo." Now, will
not waste time in showing the absurdity of re-
quiring men 10 pledge themselves in relation to
a matter of which, at that time, they could not
judge, and upon which they were to be elected
to detiJerate-because, in this free country,
every man has right to ask any question he
pleases, and we have had some precious speci,
mems of the exercise of this right very lately,
in a neighboring District neither praise nor
blame him for it. At all events, some of the
candidates saw fit to reply, (Mcssrs. Lang,
