COOP CRowING.--Mr. Kendall, one Of the ed
tors of the New Orleans Picayune, in a recent
letter from Paris says:
81 feel disposition to crow this morning.
Do not our clippers outsail them all, our steam
crs out-run them all, our Colts revolvers
out-shoot them all, and our threshng machines
out-thresh them all, or thresh them all out if
you will If man on this side wishes to keep
his throat moist, dose he not swallow an Amer
lean juep, cobbler, or cocktail? If he wishes
to keep his feet dry, does he not wear an Amer
lean overshoe? Ifhe wishes to keep his blood
purified, does he not use American sarsaparilla
and pills fhc wishes to keep ahead on The
road, does he not buy an American trotter? If
he wishes to keep cool, does he not send for
American ice If he wishes to keep warm, docs
he not buy an American stove? fine wishes to
keep his money and effects safe, does he not
purchase one of Hobbs American locks? If
he wishes to keep himself from want or star
walton, does he not 90 to America, or turn his
eyes and thoughts IL that direction tell you
that feel Chapmanish this mornng-repeat
that have desire TO crow, and Justify, over
the handiwork and advantages of my own coun-
try-men.
{" Are rot American authors now more read
than any other on this side? Certainly Where
does the Engishman obtain q knowledge of his
own vernacular! From Noah Webster and
Lindley Murry for the dictionary of the one
and the grammar of the other have crowded al
most everything else from The schools where
the language is taught in its purity. In history,
law and theology, are not our authors consider
ed among the first? Do not Prescott, Story,
and Claiming, occupy the front rank And in
poetry, fiction, and scup ture, do we not take the
precedence? Are not the works of Bryant, lIaw-
thorne, Longfellow, Poe, Cooper, and Powers,
and n host of others, held in the highest rever-
ence in the Old World? Let us all crow"

GOV. MEDILL.

In 1888, Joseph Vance surrendered John B.
Mahan, upon the requisiticn of Gov. Clarke of
Kentucky charged with abducting slaves from
Kentucky.
The facts are we'll known and admitted. Mahan
had not been in Kentucky; but the Grand Jury of
Mason found true bill against him, upon the
ground, that if slaves escaped from Kentucky, and
were aided by citizen of Ohio in Ohio such citizen
was amenable to the Kentucky law. Governor
Clarke, with full knowledge of these facts, made
a requisiton, and Gov. VANCE, also familiar with
them, gave him up.
A Kentucky court released Mahan, and declared
the basis of the demand illegal contrary to State
rights, and the Constitution Of the Unionl
These events occurred just before the the Guber.
material election in Ohio. OF course, they spread
like wild fire among the people. The result was
that Vance was defeated, losing tens of thousands
of votes, in consequence of his haste and his sup
posed pusilanimity, in delivering Mahan up.
. Gov. Medill has just met n requisiton from the
Governor OF Kentucky, under circumstances more
atrocious and daring, than those which marked the
case under Gov. Vance.
The facts, as stated in the Daily Columbian, are

HONOR OF SHAREHOLDERS.

We not unfrequently told that the Shareholders
are hgh.mnded, chivarous class of men, with a
great sense of honor, and especially tenacious of
their character for veracity.-The hospitality Of
the South, TIVE always reflect at whose expence
they are able to be hospitable,) is the theme of
many traveller, whose eyes have been plastered
over with the dough of Southern generosity.
That truth and chivalry is not Characteristic of
the whole slaveholding race, we have case in
point When the slave McQuery was delivered up
at Cincinnati, some weeks ago. win be recollected
that Miller, his claimant, offered in open Court to
take $1,000 for him, and contribute fiy dollars Of
il from has pocket, This proposition--to take
two or three hundred dollars moro than he was
worth, and contribute a part oft himsslc was
heraded to his praise by all the proslavery press
of the North-and seemed so glorious specimen
of generosity, in a great measure TO compensate
for all the pain that the hardships of the case.

Well; the disinterested friends Of the slave, and
of our common humanity, set themselvs about rais-

is seen in the following, from the Cincinnati DaiF

THE CASE OF TIE SLAVE, WASH McQUERYs
To ALL WHOM 1T NAY CoScERS--IIear ye the
conclusion Of TIE whole matter. One Of the Com
mittee appointed in the Wash McQaery fund has
called ON Millcr's agent at Louisville, and vaz
informed by him that Miller said he obligated
him self to sell him for that 81, $50, and intends
to send him to his sister on the Yazoo River, in
Mississippi he also states, however, that If be can
get a larger sum for him he will sell hiD. The
committee called on some of the traders in Louis-
yille and to see what Wash would sell for they
said he was not worth more than 5000, and If hs
was known TO have lived in the State Of Ohio for four
years, he would not sell for that. In view of tho
foregoing facts, we, the committee, havecome 10 the
following conclusion, that all Of the friends wha
have contributed TO the fund, they will seek out,
and return TO. them the amount they paid all the
friends that we cannot find, their money will bs
given to his wife for her support, which is oil
can do. With due respect 10 the gentleman and
ladies who have contributed, we now submit tho
subject to them for fnal action,
Yours respectfully, in behalf Of the committee.

1t thus appears that in the Free States Free
population OF near FOURTEEN MILLIONS, has only
jour Judges; while in the Slave States a Free
population Of little more than SIX MILLIONS has

abomination Of Slavery, is carefully guarded by
that Court. 1t is constituted for that purpose

Lucy STONE AT LoUIsvILLE.-Lucy Stone gave the
first offs course Of lectures the Rights and Duties
of woman at Louisville, Ky, on the evening Of the
2d inst. Tie audience was large, though the price
of admission was 25 cents. The press of the city.
instead of following the example Of too many Of the
journals of New York by ridiculing and abusing
her, treats herwith marked courtesy and respect,
The Journal, speaking Of her lecture says;
I'VE confess that we were greatly delighted.
The lecture one of the ab!est, clearest most
forcibe, and beautiful productions we ever heard,
And the style of the delivery was quite eqsal TO the
matter. II was an appropriate setting TO the rich
gems Of mind with which the fair orator delighted
the assomblage before her. We are sure that We
never heard anything, nor read anything more
impressive more chaste, more noble and eloquent.
She successfully carried the immense audience
with her to every position she sought and they 20,

which they held her, The correctness and beauty
Of her sentiments went home to every heart, and

Journal advises everybody who could to 60 and hear
her next lecture and expressed its fears that Mozart
Hall would not hold half the audience.
The Courier and THE Democrat also speak in the
highest terms of Miss Stone and her lecture. In spite
of all the preiudices excited against her by the
lying abuse of New York papers, and in face OF the
welknown fact that sho is anAnti.Slayery lecturer
of the Garrison school, she seems to have taken
