The Platoniss and Pythsgoreans, IN the
second century of the Christian Era, incul-
Gated the above sentiment. Some individuals
Of the Christian Church appear to have had
This senlimen, infused into them. They held
it as maxim, ''sha. i, was not only lawful,
but even praise-worthy, to deceive, and
even use the expedient Of lie, in order to
advance the cause Of truth and piety."
We think that This maxim should have
died in it's ut,erance. But facts prove that
it has not 1t has been handed down from

stands prominently as the father of il; and
the only change in his appearance is. .ha, he
has laid aside his hdions face, and assumed
for the occasion the mild features of an San

maxim has always been obviously received
The truth is, that i, will not bear the test OF

THE HUNGARIAN EDIToRs.-Two of the
followers of Kossu,h-A. Gyurman and F.
Wu,schel-have commenced the publica-
ton Of German newspaper in New York,
the object Of which seems to be to renew
agitation on the Slave question, as will be
seen by the following declaration, extracted
from their published platform:
81. The slavery question. With regard to 1t,
consider the compromise no settled solution, but a
provisional lac for the abrogation of arhch at least
so far as the ertradon Of slares is concerned,
,ciH employ all the means which pubiis organ can
commando
We have no doubt such publication will
exert great influence by fixing in the minds
Of foreigners, who may emigra,e 10 our
country, strong prejudice against the ins1i-
tutons and interests of The South. LIE, these
editors pursue the course they have marked
out !; and let it appear to the people Of the
South that foreigners can come here and
dictate a course Of policy inimical 10 the
interests of that section of our country, with
any degree Of success, ant the consequence
will inevitably be to create weigh, Of pre-
juice that may fall heavily upon the cause
Of the oppressed in Europe. II is no. likely
the South will forget such interference, nor
is she likely to return good for such evil.
Foreign arrogance and dic.a,ion canno, be
relished by the American people, especially
when it comes from those who have been
bu. few short weeks upon our soil, as in
this instance. We entertain no prejudice
sgains. foreigners, but rather feel disposed
to give them a hearty welcome. Such in
reference, however, with our national az
fairs, as is intended by these editors, shows
wan, Of modes,y-to say the leas. of it
truly disgusting.
Upon this subject the Alexandra Gazette
remarks:
Kossu,h's companions, are not as discree,
as he is, since their arrival in this country.
Although Kossu,h himself is no, TO be blsm-
ed for the PRONUNCIATION of opinions by two
of his followers, in New Y ork, the public
will think it strange, that foreigners just
landed on our shores, and 10 whom an asy
Ium from oppression has been given, should
begin to talk about our 'compromise laws,'
the extradition Of our slaves, and reform in
our land laws. There is degree Of i'm
per,inence in this proce eding, which will
mos, assuredIy be resisted by the in,elligen,
people Of this country. Indeed, it is hard
to treat the subject with becoming modera-
lion. Humility would not only be COM
mendabIe, in the case of these Hungarans
bu. i, would enlis sympathy and support
Impudence and forwardness will, on The
contrary, create aversion and disgust.

MARYLAND PENITENTIARy.-The annual
repor. of The Directors Of the Maryland Peni-
Tertiary, for 1851, has been made TO the
Governor, for copy of which we are indeb-
ed to the polite Clerk 10 the Board Of Direc-
tors, BARzILLA marriott, Esq.
The number Of persons in the Peniten-
siary on the 30.h of November, 1851, on
which day the report was made, were 2s2.
There were committed TO the prison in the
ed by the expiration Of their term of sentence,
and IS were pardoned, viz: two by President
Fillmore, 6 by Governor Thomas, and ten
by Governor Lowe. The report Of Dr..
Charles Frck, the Physician of the insl,u-
lion, shows that the health Of the prisoners
has been remarkably good in the year past,
there having been but nine deaths in the
year.
The financial affairs Of the Institution
have not been prosperous, owing to the
competition which its manufactures have
had to contend with, and other causes re-
ferred to in the report. In the last year the
receipts Of the Institution were $4,000 70
less than its expenses, and the average de-
6ciency in the receipts for the las. four years
has been S9,267 62, and the aggregate de-
fciency for tina, period S37,070 81. In re-
gard to these Deficiencies, the report says !:
"Two plans have suggested themselves
to us-lhe first is, for our probable defcien-
cies to be covered in advance by annual ap-
pro2,iaions by the Legislature and the
second, and perhaps the most proper one,
is, for the Legislature to fall back upon the
usage that existed prior to 1928, and au,ho-
ize The salaries of The officers of the prison
to be paid by quarterly drafts upon the
Treasury.

JOSEPH c. MILLER, Of Pennsylvania, from
whose premises Thomas McCresry is al
legged to have stolen negro girl, was found
dead on the line of the rail road few miles
beyond Baltimore, on the I'd inst. The Cecil
Whig says:
"McCreary was arrested on the 1st inst
On the 2nd the lifeless body Of Miller was
found suspended to tree on the line of the
railroad near Stemmer's Run, In comnany
with others from Chester county, he had
the previous night taken the cars for Have
de-Grace. A jury of inquest was summon
ed in the case, and verdict Of suicide rem
dered.
"About the case much mystery hangs. II
is strange why Miller left the cars to hang
himself. and it would seem strange that he
should be taken from them by violent hands
unseen. Some think that, fearing the con-
sequences Of the false oath which they al
Iege he took, like the conscence-smillen
Judas, he went away and hanged himself
Others that he was seized and hung BY
the avengers Of the murdered Gorsuch. 1t
seems ,ha, he was hanging, tied to the body
of tree, with his fee, on the ground. His
own handk erchef was looped around his
neck, and another tied to it and around the
tree, which, we must confess, seem indica-
tive Of foul play"
The Wing further remarks:
"As TO the death Of Miller-there are those
who hold it, even if brough, about by vio-
lent hands, 10 be ust rerhution for The
death Of Gorsuch. We join in no such
feelings, bu, such feelings exist and whar
wonder?
"And with all these evils, and others which
are to comet for fugitive slaves will in the
nighttime sill be carried from the very inner
temples of The abol.ionisls)-we charge the
people of Pennsy Ivania. and we shall hold
Them 10 answer for it. II This be 'encoursg-
ing the lawless and daring actions of Nc
Creary' or of others, lie, ii be so. We hat
much rather the laws should have their
course, bu, Pennsylvanians have rendered
lha, impossible"
The remains of Mr.. Miller after having
been inferred at his home in Chester county
was taken up and carried 10 Baltimore, where
an other inquest and pos. morlem examine
ton were had on Saturday last We have
no, We. heard the decision Of the jury o
inquest. The body has been again taken
home. This case has created much excite
ment in PENNSYLVANIA.
