a painting recently executed in that
city, representing the scene between
Uncle Tom and Eva in the garden,
in which the latter declares her in
tention of speedily going to heaven.
The following is an extract from the
Commercials remarks:
Uncle Tom, according to the artist
is very stupid looking creature, and
Eva, instead of being a fragile and
fading flowret, is a rosy-compleXion-
ed notwithstanding child, not a bit
ethereal. She is in the act of saying,
I'm going there" and is complaccnt-

individual sovereignty into the neighborhood com

crime which that Law processes to authorize, SLAIN
and thrown into the same grave with boodhounds'
than to witness the outrage committed at Wilkes
barre Pa, few days since
| repeat, the crime of sending u fellow-bcing to
torture and premature death under that Law is far
greater than ordinary murder; and those who ad-
vise aid, counsel or encourage its execution bathc
their souls in deeper guilt than they would to aid
counsel the commission Of murder in its ordinary
form. Yea, believe many man has gone from
the gaows to fual judgment, when far less guilty
than all those Doctors of Divinity who have lent
their Influence to sustain this Fugitive Law.
