LIrE OF THF EMFREss JoEpHINE, First oife of

LIFE OF THF EMPRESS JoEPHINE, First ictte Of
NaPo,eon, By p. C. Heedly.
AS has been said, tie Empress Josephine
was greater parsonage than Napoleon in
the elements of moral grandeur, and retained
her sovereignty in the hearts of the people
while he ruled by the unrivaled splendor OF
his genius. She was model of female char
acter for the times in which she lived. There
is probably not character in history, OPEN
ing finer field for the pen of such writer
as Headley, as that of the Empress. We
need not say that he has made readable
book of this work, just issued from the press.
1t reveals mach of the domestic history Of
Napoleon, and is a graphic picture, we should
suppose, of the times as reflected from those
high circles of society in which the Empress
alternately shone in brilliancy and disappear
ed with the waving tides of opinion. This
work may be obtained at Conyngton g. Co.'S
Book store, East corner Main and First SITS.

The Now york peoision.

The decision of Judge Paine, in regard to the
slaves in trdnsitn, in New York, cannot but have
Inomentuous consequences. 1t settles the point,
we presume concluslvcy, that, except in the soli-
tary case OF fugitive, any slave who touches the
soil of New York, no matter how, becomes free
should schooner sailing from Baltimore, conSe-
quently, with the slaves of MaTylander emigra-
ting to the Southwest, be blown out oil her way,
and forced, 10y stress of weather, TO put into the
port OF New York, the slaves would become iTee.-
Or should a yeSSe, under similar circumstances,
be beached on the shores OF Long Island, the same
result wOnld follow.
The state of New York has thus, and as it we've
officially, declared her resolution not to aid the
ny provided for by the Constitution. She has
asserted, before The world, her sympathy for the
slave as freely as ever Great Britain did, by the ia
nous decision Of Lord MarShfeld. We say the
State ofNew York, for as Judge Paine justly oh
served, he did not pretend to egisate on the Ques
ton, butonIy TO declare the law as itexisted; and
there seems little doubt but that the repeal of for
mer laws, by the Revised Statutes, has brought
about the present condition of affairs, by closing
the soil of the Commonwealth against masters with
slaves in transtitu.
The practical effect of this decision on the
South will be to increase the irritation already eX-
stng there, and especially TO injure, 10 very con-
siderable degree, the trade of New York with that
region. 1t will have another result also, and one
that will affect the slave. Hereafter, when emf
grants move from Virginia, other Of the Atlantic
Slave States, 10 the South west, they will be COM
PEELED to travel by land with their slaves, and the
hardShips ofthe journey will necessarily fall chief
ly, if not altogether the latter 1t will no lon
ger be safe for masters carry their slaves down
the Ohio by steamer, since, under this decison the
slaves may be sliced, under hGbeds corpus, ut
any stopping place on the Northern side of the riv
er. In fact, how lnomentuous this decision is, few
persons have yet conceived. But time and crculu-
stances will develope thiS.-PhiL. Bulletin.

CONCLUSION.

Weare pleased to see that our neignbor OF the
Timer and Gazette has "concluded' his "conclu-
sions,' at last We certainly do not seek contro-
versv with any, butwhen proper we do not shunit'
useems now that we were inexcusable for not no
ting his absence because he had announced II on the
daypreyious, in the Times. Then, VIC must plead
negligence in not having examined every nook and
corner Of the Times 10 discover whether or not the
Editor of the Times rrOuH be at home on the fol-
lowing morning. Butwe will be more particular
in future, and hope to be duly informed hereafter.
While we are glad to have "freshneSS' in our arl-
Giles, at our own expense even, we are, neVerthe-
less, obliged 10 accord to our friend of the Times
talent Of discovery which we do not possess for 1t
certainly requires great discerEment in any one to
discover that we had given Hamlet credit for Uncle
Tobys ''hackneyel wordS,' after we had OursslUes
corrected the error in paper of Monday, one day
before the critical acumen Of the editor of the
Times was made manifest. Had he only been a
day sooner we would have been picked up, but as
it is he is ga day after the fair. But in one par
ticular the Times day too soon, for if he will
take the trouble to examine lis paper he will find
that he did not tell US he was going away (impor
tant announcementD until Wednesday, The usry day
on which our articles appeared, and not the day
previous as he asserts, so that we did nottre into
''his rear" alter all.
He says we have given no reasons for our opin-
ions. We thought we had done so, and can only
now say that we uphold the Fugitive Slave Law be-
cause the Constitution upholds and supportsit and
the people of the South need and demand it, aud
we are opposed to agitation, whether North or
South, and believe that upon the fidelity of both
parties to the spirit of the Compromise bill, de-
ponds tue safety, the prosperity and the perpetuity
of our Union. ..a
But we are < lad to end this matter, especially as
our neghbor diSelaims being free-soiler, which
we feared he was from his article.

Winfield Scott received the votes Of four States,
the aggregate Electoral vote of which numbers
forty-two Electors. BY change of the number oil
votes which are above estimated as forming one
half If the majority the twelve States enumera-
ted, deducting them from the tGllyOf Gen. Pierce,
aud adding them to that of Gen. Scott, the Elector-
al votes of those States, hundred and eight in
number, would added TO the forty-twO Scott Elec-
tors chosen) make the Electoral votes for Gen.
Scott one hundred and fifty; and-had the votes
in those States been so varied-would;hay secur-
ed his election to the office Of President.
Estimating the aggregate number OF Yotetsin oil
the States at three million i've hundred thousand,
tits apparent that change OF less than me vote
in a hundred Zone per cent? OF the aggregate pop
ular vote might have been sufficient to give the
victory to the Wings instead of their opponents.
When, then, we take into view the circumstances
which combined to bring about the result of the
Election what is there in it to defect the Wings, OF
to induce them 10 doubt of the substantial hold
winch their principles lave upon the affection and
confidence of People? Still less does this state
Of facts justify any dependency as TO the future.
1t is not the first time that the Wings have been
beaten when confident of success. The defeat oil
Mr. Clay, the Wing candidate in 1874, was much
more astounding than that of our candidate at the
late election; and yetin 1S4S the Wings rallied 10
the rescue, and by triumphant majority placed
their candidate in the Presidential chair. What
has more than once heretofore happened may
happen again; and once more under resolution
gathered from defeat. the Wings may march to
victory. --.

Pathos of the Canvass.

One OF the most touching spectacles which las
come our view since the close of the campaign is
the afTectonate embrace of the Boston Post and
Boston Courier. The Post excains:-"What
yictoryl how delightful! We, the patriots, have
had most charming triumph; the hateful Free
Sellers, Seward Wings, fanatics and Smites OF all
sorts are utterly routed and oyerthrown. Come
now, all, We varied stripes ofFogyism, Hunkerdom,
Cottonocracy, trading and Slavery Conservatism
that have aided us, the Fillibustering Locofocoisn
Of the country, in achieving this matcheSs victory;
come now and unite with us to put down every ras-
cally Ere Soilcr in the country and purge Congress
of every peStilent fellow who don't belong 10 our
Side Then, shall we all thrive abundantly upon
their ruins and grow and wax fat exceedingly"
The Courier rapturOusly responded TO this gush o!
patriotic Sentiment:-"My dear Democratic broth
er, take me to thy throbbing bosomI am wholly
thine We will be but one hencefLrth and for
eve ill the whole race of Free Sellers be extermi
nated." si.s. -,5ar-.- ...t.. .r
These beautiful AMI affecting exhibitions come
upon us like sMeet aiB from Paradise, after the
turmoil OF the campaign. Such glow of patriotic
sentiment, such ferVor and devotion to the great
interest of Slavery and Cotton, SO much forgetting
and forgivlng as is herein manifested, is Specta-
Gle TO delight the gods. We expect to witness
throwing into one anothefs arms of the same sort.

BREACH OF MARRIAGE PRoMIsE.-At Albany,
last week, the trial Of case took place involving
breach Of marriage promise, in which the jury rem
dered aiverict in favor of the fair plaintiff, Miss
Susan Maria Learned, OF $500 damages. The
circumstance presented the following facts:
The plaintiff is the daughter of Edward Learned,
ESQ.,, of West Troy; the defendant is DR.. A. Wat
kyns, the physician of the family. Miss L., during
the alleged courtShp, which ran through the year
1850 and Spring of ISL, was in her 18th and goth
year, while the Doctori is venerable gentleman of
sixty winters. The plaintiff contended that the
DOCTORS conduct for months had Jeen such as to
warrant the belief that they were engaged to be
married,-but the doctor said his visits were of
purely professional, and not of matrimonial char
acter. Effort was made to show that plaintiffs
health had been greatly impaired by the disappoint
ment, and modification resulting from this breach
of.faith. This attempt, however, was met BY. tes-
tmony that Immediately before and ever since, the
plaintiff was ''the very picture of health"
