General Justice of the Peace Law"

Gov. Boutwell, of Massachusetts, is using
his appointing power rather literally, in COM
missioning Justices of the Peace. To facili-
tate the business, the Lowell Courier propo-
SEES a general ldv, as follows:
AN Act Prociding a more easy manner
for obtaining a Justice Of the Peace Com
mission.
BE it enacted by the Senate and House of
RepresentatiN es in General Court assembled,
and by the authority of the same, as fol-
lows:
Sec. /. Any citizen of this Common
wealth, DESTROYS Of becoming a Justice of tho
Peace, may receive a Commission as such by
taking and subscribing the oaths now requlr-
ed by law before the proper officers, and f.
ling a certificate thereof in the Office Of The
Secretary of the Commonwealth.
Provided, That when any person shall be-
of the party called " Free Soilers,' and shall
decline taking the oath of allegiance to the
Constitution of the Uuited States as hereto-
fore administered, be may take the same in
the following form:
I.----, do swear that / will sup
port the Constitution of the United States,
except when the same conflicts with the creed
of the =" Free Soil party"
Sec. 2. This act shall take effect from
and after its passage, and shall continue in
force until the first Wednesday of January,
A. ID. 1852.

grasp aud welded by a mob-the spirit
of misrule anG rebellion is s~uhslituted--
the lumultuous violence and anarchy of
human passions, freed from legal res
s%iraint, and stimulated by plumber or re-
venge, are substituted and though we
may all deprecate the necessity of call
ing on the militia or army to protect the
laws aud vindlcate their reign--yet they
are far safer than an infuriated mob, and
must be invoked to assist in executing
the laws, if needed, rather than let the
sun of the Republic go down in the
clouds and blood of rebel insubordina-
ton.
In conclusion, gentlemen, feeling as
am aware YOU do, that this Government
was made or adopted by yourselves, and
not forced on you by iyranny--that i
must he sustained by yourselves through
a faithful administration Of the laws til
a majority choose to alter them-or else
the baytnet will be the only other resor
against inevitable anarchy l improve
this occasion 10 exhort you to continue
firm and united in standing by peace
order, the constitution, the laws and on
holy Union.
And disagreeable as it may be to yo'
or me-if any of our fellow citizens have
under sudden and misguided impulse:

| might almost say reasonable attempt
to overtnrn parts Of the constitution it
self-as well as some Of the laws, an
violently obstrrct their administration
painful if we must visit on them exem
plary punishment yet it is in my view
not only indispensable to secure the SOY
ereign reign Of the laws, but prevent al
the beauties and gIories of our belove'
union from being scattered in fragment
over a ruined country by the paricida
hands of some of its " children.

sY" We assure our friends abroad that the
election of a Loco Governor in this State
was owing to the aid Of the Free Soil party,
and that Gov, Seymour owes bis elevation
to Free Soil votes. What particular induce
menl was employed by The Free Soil lea1-
ers, especially by Gov. Cleveland, we have
yet to learn. The honesty, sincerity anl
integrity of the : conscience party, can be
easily Observation-Disclosures Comant.
The following extract from Gov. Sey-
mour's message is a fitting comment on the
above. What do Free Sellers in this State
think of it?
"The future peace Of the country will de-
pend upon the manner in whish the Conl-
promise measures are sustained. These have
already become a pledge Of the fidelity OF
the several States to each other. The OBJ
%jections which have been made to these meas
ures, in different sections, furnish no rgason-
able ground that ! can discover for any at
tempt to overthrow the late plan of adjust
meni, OF Withdrawing from the Union OH
that account. The right to discuss with fer
vency and zeal every question which arises
from our Tree institutions, is not only the
privilege, but the duty Of an American ci,i.
yea. But higher and mole transcendent
still, is the duty to maintain the laws.
Il say, therefore, that the measures of
which ] have spoken. one and all, must be
supported in good faith, or we cannot hope
to see this form of government continue.
That part of the recent series Of Statues
which comes nearest home to us and CRATES
harshly, perhaps, on the feelings of the North,
has a firm constitutional basis, and is equally
entitled to the support of this and every other
section of he country. II is designed to car
~ out that provision OF the Constitution
which originally met with no oppositson from
any quarter whatever"

SHOCKING CASUALTY IN LoNDoNDER-
RY.-A young daughter Of MIR. William
Hastings, OF Jamaica, met with a sudden
death in Londonderry last week, under very
distressing circumstances. Mr. Hastings
and his family were visiting at Mr.. Lueius
Abbo.t's, of Londonderry, and while the
daughter of Mr.. Hastings, and her cousin, q
son Of Mr. A5bolt's a lutte older than her
self, were amusing themselves together, they
wandered from the rest Of the company in
to a room where was a gun which had been
loaded 10 shoot squirrels. The boy took up
the gun and snapped it once or twice with
no effect, and undoubtedly supposing there
was no charge in it, plsylully said to his
cousin, an shoot you sis" and Swapping
The gun again, it went off, lodging the whole
charge in her forehead. She survived about
an hour. From the appearance OF the
wound, it is supposed that the muzzle Of the
gun was in almost immediate contact with
the forehead of the unfortunate child. The
grief of the families Of both children IS
overwhelming. When will people learn not
to leave loaded guns about their houses :
