schemes for the dissolution Of the Union. BY
his own boast, he is a traitor of five and
twenty years standing. Aud are we to Gull
dainty and holiday phrases to cover up such
bald avowals of perjury and treason? When
the PARKERs, and GARRIsors, and PHMLIPsEs
utter their insane denunciations of the Union,
we call them by the name they seem TO coyet,
and invoke for them the fate they deserve. We
know of nothing that should induce us to treat
more tenderly the bold and undisguised treason
of the honorable Senator from South Carolina.
To the storm now raging in the Palmetto
State day Of calm will succeed The patri-
otic attachments Of her wise and good citizens
will triumph over the councils of the bold, bad
men, who seek the dismemberment of their
country. This is not the first time that politi-
clans and public journals have acclaimed after
the fashion Of Mr.. RHErT. There have been
as loud and as ill-founded outcries of grew
ance and calls for separation and secession in
other States than South Carolina, and in earlier
times than these.
We did not suppose that the fame or the fate
of the men who had been concerned in them
had been such as to give large encouragement
for the repetition of the experiment Nor are
we now apprehensive as to the result. The
day Of peaceful reckoning will surely come,
when the RHErTs and the SEABRooKs will go
the way Of all who, like them, have sought dis
tinction in the paths Of sedition and treason.

The Next President.

Several newspapers in Pennsylyania, New York,
and Massachusetts,, are pressing in their efforts
to have General Scott brought out a. the Wing
candidate for the next Presidency. We think il
rather early for any man to pledge himself in "a
vor Of any individual. The better course for the
Wings to pursue will be patiently to wait the &C.
ton Of National Convention, and cordially unto
in the support Of the candidate it may recommend
for their suffrages. Hasty committals placed
many of them in awkward position previously
to the late Presidential election, and the
rencss of that time are fresh in memory, they
should not fail to borrow wisdom from them. The
next session of Congress will bring together Wings
from every section Of the Union who will be fully
acquainted with the wishes and feelings Of their
constituents, and from whom information neces.
cary to qualify the Wing party to mako = nomina-
ton that will be acceptable to its members may
be obtained Added to all this, there 10 another
consideration of gravcr import-the condition OF
the country may be 20 changed by tho rebellious
spirit now prevailing in certain Quarters alto
gether to control the party in its selection of
didate. Any ordinary hand may steer the ship in
fair weather. but, when the raging tempest threat
ems her with destruction there cannot be too much
skill at the helm. wa

A New ser,e. OF Law ana Equity Report.

A New Series OF Law and Equity Reports.
The want of some system by which the de-
cisons and judicial opinions of the several
courts of Law and Equity in England can be
more promptly and cheaply furnished to the le-
gal profession in this country has long been &C.
riously felt and acknowledged. To meet similar
want in England the claw Journal Reports'' and
"The Jurst." which together report decisions in all
the Courts in La,o and Equity, within few weeks
after their delivery, were commenced number Of
years since, and have met with the universal ap-
probation Of the legal profession. Their high cost,
however has hitherto prevented their general cir
culation in this country, and their merits are ~
yet but little known among US.
To supply this want, Messrs. LITTLE s. BaowS,
Of Boston, have commenced the republication of
these reports IN fast they appear in Eng
land and can be received here. They will contain
reports of decided in the House of Lords the
Privy Council, the several Courts of Equity, the
Court OF Queens Bench, the Court of Common
Pleas, the Court Of Exehequsr and Exchequer
Chamber, the Ecclesiastical and Admiralty Courts,
the Court of Bankruptcy; including also the Elec-
ton Cases, the Crown Cases Reserved, and the
Railway and Canal Cases.
These reports will be published in monthly num-
bers or parts, commencing with the decisions of
Michaelmas (Novembsr) Term, 1850, and will be
carefully cdlted by member OF the bar, with
notes and references to analogous American deci-
sions. The two first numbers have appeared, and
are now before us, in style of beautiful typogra-
ply, doing honor even to these eminent publishers
Each number contains over THREE HUNDRED
pages closely printed octave, the best paper and
in clear, fair type, with table of cases and full
table Of contents; thus forming a complete volume
by itself, as well as part Of entire series. The
second number IL PACED consccutivcly from the
number Immediately preceding, and contains a
table Of cases and of contents to both, and thus
forms complete volume, ready for binding, of726
pages.
The publishers design to make this PERMANENT
PUBLICATION, and thus establish neso series of
English Law and Equity Reports, which shall, in
all respects be far in advance Ct any other reprint
OF English Reports in this country, and which shall
furnish to the American lawyer the decisions of
Westminster Hall nearly ftco years before they
could othertoise Be obtained, and long before the
publication Of the contemporaneous decisions of
most OF our own tribunals.
The price of this publication, forming six vo-
lumes octave, will DO $40 year. payable in ad-
vance, the six volumes. handsomely and uni
formly bound in law sheep. $l2.
We are glad TO learn that this enterprise OF
Messrs LITTLE & Bnowx Is received with great
favor by the profession, and has already received
large number of subscribers.
