THE tribune AND INDIANA NEGRO Ex.
cLUsIoN.-The New York Tribune ex-
presses its "abhorrence of such unjust en-
actments' as Indiana has been equity of, y
and adds:
but the fact of its passage is none the
less fact because we don't like it. The
immense majority forbids the presump-
non that any resistance could have been
snectlve, And, although. there are said
70 De peculiar reasons for the magnitude
VI TINS vote in Indiana, we cannot doubt
'ia' The same proposition, in like manner
submitted to direct and naked popular
se'e. ~ 'could preua1 IN nearly euery free
otate IN the Union.

COMING TO THEIR SENsEs.-The N. Y. Journ al
Of Commerce says that the New School Preshy-
terian General Assembly, which recently assem-
bed at Utica, New York, refused to take any
action in regard to the fugitive slave law. A re-
solution proaouncing the requirements and provi-
SONS of said law, "entrey opposed to the impulses
of humanity, to the principles of Justice, and to
the precep.s Of the Bible" was rejected, with only
three dissenting voices.
The Journal in announcing the fact adds: ssThe
conservative course pursued by the Assembly, is
encouraging sign OF the times, and should be
duly appreciated. The Old School Presbyterian
church has always been sound this subject,
breasting itself firmly against fanaticism, but
joining faithful observance OF relative duties be-
tween master and slave, according to the Scrip
lures, and relying rather upon the influence of
Christianity for the gradual extinction Of the sys-
tenn, than upon any direct efforts for that end.
1t has iounc the advantage of this course, in
large increase of numbers and influence.

WESTERN MILITARY INSTITUTE,

FTNHIS Institution, on account Of the rapidly in
n creasing demand for sdInittance, has been
compelled 10 change its location-the buildings at
Blue Lick Springs being insufficient for the accom-
modation OF the large number seeking entrance
Within the last year two hundred and sixty cadets
have been matriculated, Of whom near one hun
dred have left or been discharged mainly for want
OF suitable quarters" Drennon Springs has been
secured the future and permanent location Of the
school. To the great body Of our patronage, com
ting az it does from the South and West, no point
could be more desirable. Situated within one mile
OF the Kentucky river, midway between Frankfort
and Louisville, it s easy Of access in all directions
steamboats, passing both ways daily.
The buildings and improvements are very exten-
sive, affording ample room and accommodations
for three hundred cadets
Its retired and healthful position eruinently
adapts il for the purposes Of Military School Be-
ing eight mics from any town, il is free alike from
the vices and extrayagancies usually incident to
college life.
The second term Of the animal series opens on
Monday, the 10th of February, and hereafter the
annual session will regularly open the second
Monday Of September, and close the last Friday in

has denied them anything like general circula-
ton. Their value, however, is fully appreciated
by the whole profession, who, have doubt,
will hasten to avail themselves OF the opportunity
Of possessing themselves of the republication of
Messrs. Little & Brown, which can be had at less
than one-ffth the expense Of the original works.
From the Boston Courier.
The enterprising publishers have here presented
10 the legal profession, we judge, lohg-felt
desiderGtum-a prompt, cheap, and comprehensive
series of reports of all the decisions of all the Eng
lish courts. The series commences with the cases
of the November term, 1850; and we observe in the
first number decisions pronounced in Westminster
Hall on the Both January, 1851. This is unparal-
leled despatch in the history of legal reporting.
Westminster is here brought two years nearer to
us than own courthouse. The style in which
the work is issued reflects great credit upon the
publishers, editors, and all connected with it.
The page 10 large, fair, white, and readable. The
table OF cases and index seem to be prepared with
much care and diligence. The former strikes US as
executed on very useful plan, referring not only
to the case and page of the volume, but containing
also short abstract of the subject of each case.
referring to American decisions, and still more to
the value of the wotk. The publication is TO be
continued in monthly parts or numbers, making
each year six large octave ovolumes, for the remark
ably low price of $40 per annum. We trust both
editors and publishers will receive ample remuner
alton for the service they here doing the legal
profession
Such publication, think, cannot fail to be
useful 10 the profession and profitable TO the pub
lishers.-P Philadelphia Legal fntelligeneer
