The Rev. William Mason had. therefore, one
qualification for the part Of Junius which none Of
his rivals possessed he was tried and practised
writer--a master Of language. style, and powerful
epigramatic expression. His character, history,
political aud personal relations his feelings prin
ciples, tastes, his likes and dslikes are ali, az we
may generally say, surprisingly like those Of
Junius. He was in a.position TO acquire the
court and parliamentary information which Junius
employed with so much effect and no had the
very spirit which seems To have governed that
writer in all his assaults-a fierce, bitter, uure-
lenting one, which delighted equally in tormentne
and crushing. Mason had not particle of the
clerical tone about him. He was, all his life,
savage politician liberal in his principles, but wrath
full in his personalities.

bearing on the question Of his connection with

A CASE FOR NORTHERN ABoLIrIoNIsTs "A
recent trial in Mobile discloses some facts which
ought to make strong impression upon the
minds Of such Of the Northern people as are led
by motives of sincere philanthrophy. however
mistakenly, to aid Unfortunately in the escape
or liberation of Southern negroes.
A free negro, named Coleman, was indicted
under the State law which provides that every
free negro who shall have come to Alabama
since the lst Of February, 1888 and shall have
been admonished by any sheriff, &c, that he
cannot remain in the State, and shall not within
thirty days thereafter depart from the same, SHALL
on conviction, be punished by imprisonment in
the pententiary for two years.
The negro had lived in Mobile as free man,
from 1926 to 1850, when he went to Ohio, with
his wife and children, to enjoy the privileges of
free State. He subsequently returned to Mo
bile, and though repeatedly warned under the
statute, remained to abide the consequences

along in Ohio. He was treated no better than nj

Of the North. A slave Of one Of orr fellow
