for this county being in session. rule was
entered against Mr.. G. D Handy, lawyer
practicing in the Carroll Circuit court, to
show cause why he should not be fined for
presuming to practice law without having paid
the tax and procured the license pursuant to
the act of the General Assembly of 1923.
wbereupon he appeared and plead the uncon-
stitutionality of the law. The rule was dis,
charged, Judge Fulton declaring the law un-
constitutional We have always regarded
the law of imposing tax upon the lawyer
and the physician or rather their professions,
as oppressive; it is right and proper that

on the conduct Of the Barnburners 10 the

.This last act is worthy finale Of the events

10 The secret heart Of faction ever since And
as thew have 10 this last act shown themselves,

complete and so honorable an emancipation
from the degrading associations Of such a
conelomeration Of political hucksters, traitors,
shoulder htters. thimble rigsers, thieves,

strong, which we know; but the facts are
strong which have converted the Democratic
State Convention into Tammany Hall riot,
and which have left the brand Of eternal in-
fanny upon those who are responsible for the
breaking up Of the Convention"
The Buffalo Republic (Barnburner) speaks
of the Hunker Democrats in this wise:
"This they have done secretly for years +;
and it ID matter of sincere congratulation
that they have now raised the black nag OF
faction and sedition, aud will heneeforth be
known and read Of all men as forming crew
of political desperadoes and freebooters, who
are fighting for plumber and revenge on their
own hook. All the true Democrats will re-
joicc that We are to be rid at length Of their
presence and association. They have been
the reproach and the disgrace Of the party for
many yesrs As nominal members Of our

sition to infict upon US numberless disgraees

WEDNESDAY MORNING. SEPTEMBER IS, 1853.
THE sHERIrFALTY.
Irsubis in Camp.

On the 18th Of August last, Alexander
Newcomer, Esq, an independent democrat
was FIRST announced in the Virginia Repup-
lican, as an Independent candidate for the
Sheriffalty at the next election" The Re-
publican of the Goth ult., in relation the sub
jeet, says:
The wings are tenacious in retaining the
Sherifalty, and if report be true they have
already one at least if not two candidates in
the field for recollection. In addition an in
dependent candidate is announced, whose
motive we cannot divine.
Our object in calling attention to the sub
jcct forced upon us is merely to elicit the
public sentiment Of the party, and if possible
10 secure ito united action for the coming
contest.
The same paper of September 10Th says
A favorably opportunity will be afforded
for the members of the party from all por-
tions of the county to consult together at
Court on Monday next. 1t seems to us that
the true course is to hold convention this
fall for the nomination Of candidate for the
Shcriffalty. And should the party concur in
the propriety Of doing so, perhaps the sooner
il is done tho better.
What was the result Of consultation on
that day, of course we have no means of
knowing, farther, than what has subsequent
ly appeared. On the 18th and oath the
following announcement appeared in the Re-
publican
DEMOCRATIC MEETING.
At the instance of numerous friends Of the
'dswooratic party in different sections Of the
county, we hereby announce that meeting
of the democracy Of Berkeley will be held at
Billmire's Hotel at o'clock on Monday the
26,h inst, the first day Of Circuit Court. to
take into consideration the propriety and
mode of holding convention for the nomina.
ton of a candidate for the next ShoriHalty,
and also for Commissioner of the Revenue.
This call is believed to be made in obedience
to the general wish of the party. and all who
feel an interest in the success OF the cause
and as good democrats sanction and concur
IN the action of the majority, are urged to be
present on the occasion.
In obedience to the call, sheltered TO be
made in obedience to the general wish Of the
party" ga few" fifteen in all, were in at
tendance, just enough to deem it '.inexpe-
dent" to take any action in the premises,
con the occasion" The faithful wouldn't
come, and it was considered sscxpedient" to
have another meeting on the first day Of o.
tober Court. Such has been the progress
made in SECURING united action"

IMPORTANT TO THOSE OWNING SLAVES.

The Supreme Court of Alabama recently
rendered the following decision in reference
to the hiring of slaves, which is alike inter
esting and important. The decision is wise
one
I. When the contract Of hiring, as re-
duced to writing, is general in its terms, not
restricting the employment of the slave to
any particular business, the bailee is author
lied to employ him in any business to which
slaves are ordinarily put, and which is not
attended with extraordinary risk or peril to
his life or health, and parol proof is not ad-
MISSILE to show that the slave was only to
be employed in particular business.
2. The hirer of slave may re-hire him
to another, being responsible to the owner
for his proper treatment, and for his not be-
ing employed otherwise than is authorized by
the scope of his original contract of hiring.
8. II the hircr employs the slave in a
hazardous business, not warranted by his
contract, or re-hires him to another, to be
employed in such hazardous business, and
the slave, while thus employed, is killed,
even by inevitable accident, the owner may
regard such misuse of his slave as CONVEX
sion, and recover the value from the hirer.

RW~The policy of the Administration in
the appointment to offices of trust and honor,
of free sellers and former bitter opponents Of
the Compromise, was recommended to the
Democratic party Of the country. as eminent
ly calculated to effect fusion. where confu-
sion prevailed, and as being certain to bring
about ''union aud harmony" amongst the fac
tious Of the North. We have never ceased
from expressing our disbelief in the anticipa-
ted result--and we have given our reasons
over and over again. fer thinking that the
"policy, as measure Of "expedicncy' was
short sighted and erroneous. Well, the ex-
pertinent has been fully tried and. it is ad-
mitted, at last, by the Democsatic organ a,
Washington, that it is a failure.
The recent Syracuse Convention at New
York, has demonstrated that the feuds and
divisions there (the great point in controver.
sy) are as bitter as ever-that there is and
has been no union and harmon" and that
precisely the same ground is occupied by each
Of the factions, as was maintained previous ia
the Presidents policy" The Union, is
mortified. but does not attempt to conceal the
real state Of the case. 1t notifies its friends
throughout the country that they must be-
gin to make their calculations to win their
future democratic triumpbs. without the aid
of the once harmonious but now distracted
democracy of New York" Thus perish the
arts of politicians, even when they have pow
er in their hands !-Alcx GAG.
