The New York PartlOning Case.

Gov. Hunt, of New York, has written q
letter explanatory of recent act in pardon
ing out of the New York State prison, two
days before the expiration of his sentence, a
negro convict, who is fugitive slave from
Maryland 1t was charged that this act was
done by the Governor for the purpose of
! battling the reclamation of the fugitive,
which the master was prepared to make as
soon as the sentence should expire The
slave was sentenced for two years from the
18th of May, 1850. and liberated by par
don on the L 1th of May, 1852.
Governor Hunt asserts that he pardoned
the negro because he had been shown that
he was sentenced for a crime which he did
not commit, and he adds that he knew moth
ing of his previous condition.
The Governor is entitled to the benefit
of this public disclaimer; but we cannot
help adding that he wraps the case in addi-
tional mystery. The negro pleaded guilty
of the crime of larceny, and was sentenced
on that plea. 1t is extremely odd that he
should be able to prove to the Governor that
he told a lie for the purpose of getting into
the State prison, and that the Governor
should have no curiosity to inquire into the
motive of such an unusual act 1t appears,
however, that he pleaded guilty, on the advice
of the Abolitionists. to prevent his reclama
ton by his master; singularity which al
most any body would have inquired into
when applied to for his pardon, but so it
seems did not Gov. Hunt.
1t is another singularity, that, if innocent
no pains should have been taken to make it
appear until he had served out his whole
term of sentence except two days Within
thirty days Of the expiration of the time
the Governor was applied to by the master
to know whether his slave was yet in prison,
and informed of the intention to demand
him on his release and the Governor re-
piled that his slave had not been pardoned,
and that no application for his pardon had
been made.
1t is very remarkable, then, we say, very,
that within week or two afterwards the
man should be pardoned, on proof that he
had not committed crime he had confessed,
and should be got out of the way of the
master just two days before his discharge
would have happened; and that the Cover
nor should neither have had the curiosity
or the interest to inquire into the causes of
this mysterious incarceration, nor the men,
ory to recall what had been carefully told
him three weeks before. The m ystery
thckens when we remember that two days
afterwards the whole case was publicly mar
rated at an Abolition meeting in New York,
as triumph achieved over the slave law by
the aid of the Governor.
If in all this Gov. Hunt had no participa-
ton or connivance, he is duler-witted man
than they are in the habit of electing Gov
ernor of New York and if he had, he is
something good deal worse-N O. Pic.

The Freesoil Convention lately assem-
bled at indianapolis adopted resolutions
in opposition to the Fugitive Slave law; ia
voring the freedom of the public lands; de-
claring that the Anti-Slavery party is not
sectional party, but for the Union; and
asserting that the Democratic and Whig
parties have outlived the measures which
brought them into existence, and that they
are mere factions The last of these reso-
lutions is decidedly "cool"

And it is very great mistake in us
worlds people, " to imagine as we have ig.
norantly done, that the final state of the
soul is irrevocably determined at the instant
of death, and that all souls go Immediately
to Heaven or He'll, there to remain until the
resurrection, when they will return and
stand at the great bar of Judgment to re-
celve their everlasting sentence.
And we are also wrong in supposing, as
we have orthodoxy done. that there is but
one Heaven or He'll to contain all the inhab-
itants of earth. On the contrary each OF
these great periods, or stages in humanity,
was quite independent, and possessed a
Heaven and He'll of their own. This makes
at least, four Heavens, and the same number
of Hells And as Paul lived in the third
of these epochs it is quite clear why he was
caught up to ''the third Heavens and not
into the first, or fourth He went into his
own Heaven, and thus had a view of this
future home, and no wonder that he thought
it better "to depart than to remain on earth
to be prosecuted.
But the good thief who was killed with
Jesus, went only into the second Heaven,
coming between Abraham and Christ among
the Jews who hold, and truly, that in
Hades, or the place of their departed spir-
its, there was Paradise or Heaven for the
righteous and Gehenna or He'll for the
wicked.
Inasmuch as all the Heavens and Hells
are states, and not places, it follows that any
one in the highest Heaven or He'll, would
have free access to the lower ones. And,
therefore, Jesus could range through all
them. that were then formed. And the cat
echsm says that Jesus "died and descended
into He'll, and the third day rose again, y
&c. Also Peter affirms that he went and
preached the gospel to the people of the
first age, who were drowned by Noah's food
and for being disobedient to his preaching.
1t is, there you see, as clear as glass, all of
it, Jesus took the good thief with him on
his descent to the He'll of the Antedluvians.
and when he came to Paradise left him there,
and the other thief went into Gehenna, and
when Jesus reached his destination he re-
manned in the "heart Tor souD of the earth
three days and nights, as Jonah was three
days and nights in the whales belly dur
ing which time he established the gospel
among those AnteGiluvian prisoners, as he
had previously done among the inhabitants
of earth.
And here let all sects know that it is a
grand error that they lie under, in supposing
that death shuts the door of, hope to the
poor mortality, that go to any Of these three
Hells, or that he puts veto upon all pro-
gress and improvement of those who 90 in
to Paradise, or either of the Heavens 1t
is only the Heaven or He'll of the fourth age,
beyond which these spiritual seers cannot
discern possibility Of a change, from one
to another.
But among all the millions and myriads
of the three first periods, the greatest ex-
citement now prevails. ''And as coming
events cast their shadows before so, it is
this movement, in the spirit world, that is
now felt on earth, in external things and ev-
idence of a great stir near at hand in the
religious world.

ARTEsIAN WELL.-The Dallas (Ala.)
Gazette says that the first artesian well of
Mr.. j. A. Mathews, in Cahawba, is compile
ted. 1t is 735 feet deep and sends forth u
stream of water measured at 1900 gallons
per minute. The famous French we'll at
Grenoble, it is said, dces not discharge more
than half this quantity. The water (says
the Gazette, boils up, roaring like cata-
ract. forming branch of considerable size,
and the low grounds, some 200 yards dis

mense quantity Of water collected upon its
surface.
Mr.. Reid, the successful borer of this
well has commenced boring another, some
sixty yards distant, for Mr. Mathews, which
will be some 800 or 1000 feet deep. To
prevent injury to the first, it is necessary
to make the second one much deeper, so as
to reach different stratum of water
The first well is tubed, as the second will

Mr.. Reid is also boring well for Mr..
English, 200 yards distant from Mr.. Math-
ews. 1t is now 536 feet deep, and dis

The colored rector of St. Phillips (color-
ed EpiscopaD church in New York recently
declined to read a notice in that church of a
meeting to resist the fugitive slave law, on
the ground that it was duty to obey the
law. The vestry subsequently approved
the course of the rector, only one person
dissenting. So says Fred. Douglass paper,
correspondent of which complains bitterly
of this action.

"AMELIA."
BY L. VIRGINIA SMITH.

BY L. VIRGINIA SMITH.
Winds, upon your mystic flight,
Laden with the smile and tear,
Stay your pinions, soft and light,
Ger loved one, on her bier.
Breathe upon her snowy brow,
Kiss the lashes folded deep,
Over living splendors now
Curtained in eternal sleep.
Waters, on your hidden path,
Wandering to the Southern main,
Lull the murmurs of your wrath
To gentle, signing strain;
Family let your music flow
Rolling with the restless tide,
Wall the heart that slumbers low
By the lonely river side.
Blossoms, frightening the way
Of the lovely to the tomb,
Fair as you, this child of clay
Faded ere your early bloom;
Softly droop upon her breast,
Lightly let your leaflets wave,
Ger the placid, dreamless rest
Of the gifted in her grave.
Clouds, that in your shining sweep
Up the azure zenith roll,
And with crystal shadows keep
Yelled. the swift ascending soul.
Ope the folds, that we of earth
May, ere every link be riven,
Catch one beam of parting worth
Ere it pass the gates of Heaven.
Stars, upon your burning march,
Crested armaments of light,
Passing the triumphal arch,
And the purple plains of Night!
Saw ye in your flaming race
Aught of her who loved you here
fingered she in angel grace
Over any golden sphere7
Spirits, on that radiant road
Leading up the jewelled skies,
To the mercy-seat of God
Wreathed with immortalities,
Let your pinious upward roam,
Bear her to the blissful rest
Waiting in her spirits home,
Mid the mansions of the Blest.
Children of the "Wreath and Lyre."
Where. upon life's dizzy steep,
Burns the spirits quenchless fire,
Where its echoes never sleep.
TidinSs Of her triumph tell
To the earth, and sea, and sky,
Like an organs gathering swell,
Sing of one ''nOt born to die!"
