This powerful written and most exciting story was

nobility Of mind. DR. Bird paints him as q cruel, un
reentng savage without pity and without one spark of

Another Compromise.

9he case growing out Of the abduction OF the
sgirH Rachel and Elizabeth Parker, and the muir
der Of Joseph c.. Miller. of West Chester Pa,
has been finished, at last. 1t has dragged its
slow aud hOrrid length along from Dec. 1851 lill
now, when ii has been finally settled by ''com-
PROMISE Our readers will remember that the
case was one between Southern Shareholders,
kidnappers, and murderers ,and several Northern
citizens, who were neither ''rich nor influential,
and, of course, "seItlement by compromise"
means that the North suffered all the injury, and
the South got all the advantage.
McCreary and Merritt, from Maryland. kid
mapped Rachael Parker, free girl, fiom Penn
sylvahia, in December 1851, and they, or their
ecccmplices, murdered Joseph C. MiIler,a Penn
syiyanian, for attempting to rescue her. Rachel
Parker was carried forcibly to Baltimore, and
kept in prison, although it was proven that she
was free. McCreary and Merritt were permit
edtogo at large, although it was proven they
were kidnappers. Joseph c. Miller was muir
dered in Maryland, because he indicated the
poor girls cause, but any investigation by that
State, into the circumstances Of his murder, was
denied, Governor Biger of Pennsylvania acquies-
cling, For over a year after J. C. Millers muir
der, Rachael Parker was retained in Maryland,
although the fact other freedom was established,
beyond the possibility ofdoubt, and when she was
finally released by Governor Lowe, it was only
on condition that Pennsylvania would consent to
give up all proceeding in relation to the prosecu-
ton of McCreary or Merritt, either for kiduap-
ping or murder. Pennsylvania, that is, Govern
or Bigler, consented, and the whole case, there
fore, is said TO be settled by ''compromlse.
This is the history and philosophy of all 'scom-
promises" between the slave power of the South,
and the feeble ''freedom power of the North
The North suffers all the injuries and insults, sus-
tains all the losses, and pays not only to defend
itself against the South, but 10 sustain the South
IN browbeating and cheating it; while the South,
which Injuries, insults, kidnaps, and murders,
purchases impunity for itself from the consequent
ces Of those outragesby holding as hostages those
whom lis lawiess citizens have stolen from the
North. This mode of settlement, the brigands of
the South and the donghlaces Of the North call
compromise

The Philadelphia Tragedy Conviction

PHILDELPHIA, March "a.
Last night, when Arthur Spring was removed
from the Court House, through the crowd outside
of the building, he exhibited the greatest fear.
mob is the only thing which seems in the least to
awe him. After he was placed in the prison van,
he trembled so violently that the officers were ap-
prehensve of his fainting Slimulants have now
to be administered 10 him to keep him up. The
most powerful and manly appeals were made 10
him by his counsel, and an intelligent officer of
the Marshals Police, to confess his guilt, and save
the character of his son. Judge Doran told him
that his sons testimony had been corroborated in
every particular, and that he had been unable to
shake it in the least He coniured the prisoner,
a good Catholic, to unburden his bosom, and
liberate his son from the suspicion which he had
attempted to cast upon HIM. He was callous 10
every appeal, and stoutly denied his guilt He
said that ''the murder was committed by that bad
boy, and he ought to suffer for it, The proof of
the boys whereabouts at the time of the murder,
was stated to him, but it had no effect upon his
determination. He is man of great nerve.
He it more sunken this morning than he has
yet BEEN So feeble was he after he was put into
the dock, that glass of brandy had to be admin
istered to him.
The crowd about the Court House, were again
in attendance early this morning. So eager were
they to the prisoner, that the strongest mpor.
tunties were made "to just let them take a peep
at him through the door" Even women Joined
in the solicitation, and the officers had 10 crafty
them.
The charge to the Jury was delivered by Judge
Allison, and the jury retired at O'Clock ,iP NJ,
and the Court adjourned till O'Clock.
The Court met at 8, when the Jury came in and
announced their verdict unanimously ,'MURDER
in THE FIRST DEGREE The prisoner
manifested great indifference, and even took off
his hat and cheered when the officers were taking
him from the Court.
The crowd replied by terrific groans, as tho cal
lOus wretch was driven back to prison.
