DEATH OF HON. ISAAC HILL.

The Hon. Isaac Hill, late governor of the State of
New Hampshire, and s.nator from that State in the
Congress Of the United States, departed this life in
the city of Washington Saturday last. The dis
ease of which he died was consumption. MIR. Hill
firm, thorough, and high-toned democrat-never
finching wavering in the cause. He possessed
much intelligence, sagacity, and shrewdness, and few
men were more vigorous and effective thinkers and
writer's than was the deceased. During the late po-
litical and sectional agitatons he stood manfully by
his country, and justly the respect and applause
of all whose good opinion was worth enjoying. Mr..
Hill about sixtythree years of age, and leaves
name of spotIess integrity, and which his family
and friends may be proud to acknowledge. He was
an honor to the State in which he was born, and
which, all occasions and in all places, he served
so well. Washington Union.
Gov. Hill was born in Massachusetts, but emigra-
ted when youth to New Hampshire. He was
selfmade man-emphaticaly so. From printer-boy
he became Editor of the Democratic organ in New
Hampshire, and welded for years vast political in
fuence in that State. He was elected first to the
Senate of New Hampshir next to the Senate of the
United States, where he continued until he was nom-
mated as candidate for Governor of the State. He
was elected Governor Of New Hampshire for three
successive terms, and discharged his duties in able
and most acceptable manner. In the language of a
writer in the Washington Union announcing his
death, " an honest, UPRIGHT and good man has gone
to his rest.''

JIIDGE SPRAGUE.

| Judge Sprague, of Massachusetts, lately gave
very excellent charge to the Grand Jury OF Boston
1t is able and lucid exposition Of the law Par
Of the Federal Compact. He puts the higher law
completely in the shade, and satisfactorily maintains
that there is "higher law " than the laws OF the
land. He does not quote the WORDS but he sustslns
the doctrine of st. Paul: Let every soul be subject
unto the higher powers. For there is no power but
of God. The powers that be are ordained OF God.'
Wilmington Commercial.
How fortunate we are in having Judges who will
instruct the Grand Juries that they bound in the
discharge of their duties, be governed by the a~
How shall we thank Judge Sprague for soemn'y hol'
ding and announcing that there such thing as hn-
man government, and that the higher law doctrine
which would make every man Judge and a MOB
the executioner-is not the law of the land IT! We
feel very grateful to Judge Sprague for not being
Seward man the bench, far as abstract deelara-
tions concerned but if we not mistaken, 1t
was this Judge who decided that Crafts house
his CASTLE and that his doors could not be opened
with force, according to law. But that was small
and practical matter, and we suppose we ought to
drop it. Mister Crafts and his lady now on their
European tour They have already received the BEN
eft of this higher law :" and Judge Sprague will
no doubt charge the Grand Jury against that law un-
til the arises, when he will deliver opin
ion, off The bench, as in that case which will send
some other Southern master home with his finger
in his mouth.
We beg pardon of every particular and erelusire
" Union" man in the State for having written this
article. 1t is only way we have ofaying facts be-
fore our readers, and of defending, and then the
Constitution and Southern rights. Let US all knee
down-kss the hand that smites us-give nine cheers
for the Union-nne more for Mr.. Fillmore and Mr..
Foote, and hold peace about the Constitution and
We shall then be, all together, glorious company Of
" conservative and "loyal" Union men! Is it not
surprising, that in this enlightened age will talk
about their Constitutional rights! Do these men
know that they hare Constitution! Why, MIR.
Fillmore is President, and he distributes and parcels
out the Offices! We nave government at Washing
ton-a central, consolidated government govern
ment which has sword for Texas, indictments for
Southern Governor, and threats of navies and armies
for South Carolina-a government which intends to
enforce the fugitive slave law and yet Southern men
are talking of the Constitution! Away with all such
They are "agitators :" and "disunionists.'

Gen. John Gray Bynum has issued a prospectus
for the establishment Of newspaper at rutherford
ton, in the Western part of this State, to be known
under the title OF 1.-The peoples Advocate and Con-
s.iutona Reformer," and to be devoted to the ad-
vocacy of unrestricted Convention. Mr.. Bynum
is one of the thirty-seven Western members Of the
late Legislature, who at the close of its session, is
sued address to the people Of the State, upon the
subject Of Constitutional reform, in which the white
basis of representation in the Senate, instead Of the
present one of taxation, most warmly advocated.
Upon this address we have heretofore commented,
and have endeavored to convince readers OF the
great injustice and wrong which would be inflicted
upon the East by the proposed change. Now there
BE- doubt that this change is the grand and almost
exclusive object Of those who advocate an unlimited
Convention. And such being the case, we are con-
strained to say, that however much we may esteem
Gen. Bynum as gentleman, scholar, and firm
and consistent Whg he cannot, in this undertaking,
command our good wishes, nor we will venture to
add those of any other Eastern man, who understands
his own Interests and those of the section in which
he lives. Goldsborough Telegraph. (Wh:g.)

SOFT WORDS.

Mr.. Webster has written, for President Fillmore,
letter 10 the Mayor of Boston, acknowledging the
receipt Of Resolutions recently passed by the authori
ties of that City in favor of law and order" and in
condemnation of the outrage perpetrated in the res
cue of the slave Shadrach. The following soft words
occur at the conclusion of this letter:
"The President does not doubt that the people Of
Massachusetts perfectly we'll understand the differ
between the just discussion of political measures
and opposition to legal enactments already made and
established He is quite that they regard the law
of the land, not as a sentiment or opinion, but as
rule of conduct prescribed by the general authority
which all bound to obey at the risk of the penal
ties attached 10 its violation.'
That is, the fugi,ive-sIave law is not be resisted
with force, because has the sanction of '' general
authority, and it is the law of the land but it may
be 'sdscussed - by the people Of Massachusetts !!
What is this but an inhalation to agitation? 1t is
now penal offence-so made by the Legislature of
Massachusetts-for any officer of hers to aid in re-
claiming fugtve-slave. and no Jail of hers can
be used to secure slave, after he is taken. The Le
gisature of that State is in session, and no meu
Der of it moves repeal of this law, passed in def
ance of " general authory'' and in open disregard
of the Federal Constitution and yet Mr.. Webster,
aluding to the views of the people Of that State on
this subject, administers rebuke to them by way
of recalling them to their duty, but plainly tells them,
in the name of the President, that they 'perecty well
understand the difference between the just discussion
of political measures and opposition to legal enact
meuts, already made and estabLshed.' Massachu-
sets may 60 into " just discussions " on the sub
ect of the fgtive-slave law and may labor and band
together to repeal it, and thus nure and trampie on
Southern interests and property; but if Southern
men, thus assaed under the Constitution and in op-
position to its plain letter, attempt to unite with the
view of protecting and defending themselves, they
are denounced hotspurs and "agitators," and the
Federal sword is flashed before their eyes!
Such state of things cannot continue!
