THE BOOT ON TIE OTHER LEG.

Most of the more honest abolitionists OF the
north who are not influenced bya mere fanati-
cal desire to interfere in the affairs of their
neighbors, base their opposition to slavery on
the ground that it is inconsistent with the
Declaration Of Independence, with the spirit OF
the Constitution, and the genius of republicans
government. Some, indeed, have gone so far
as to justify the interference of Congress in
this question, because of the provision Of the
Constitution which guarantees to each State a
republican form of government. AS, in their
opinion, slavery is opposed to such govern
ment, they deem it not only the right but the
duty of Congress to oppose its extension, and
even to destroy its existence.
Now, we would say to these misguided persons
that it is bad rule which does not work both
ways. We commend the ingredients Of the
poisoned chalice to their own lips. There are
those at the south, and elsewhere, who contend
that the institution of slavery exerts conser-
vative influence which is essential to the exis
tence of a pure republican government; that
without this influence, republic is apt to de-
generate into radical democracy; and thai
the surest guaranty for the maintenance OF
rational liberty, is the introduction of SLAYER;
rs an element of the social organism. Nor
are the statesmen who have assumed this posi-
ZION unworthy OF consideration. They are mel
who have ever demanded and received the re
spectful attention of listening senates, and who
nave left their foot prints on the history of the
nation. We might, therefore, repel this attach
IF the abolitonists by stating that it is the i'm
perative duty Of the advocates of slavery to US.
heir best efforts to introduce this conservative
institution into other States. Thereby TIT
rapid strides ofradicalism will be checked, con
stitutional liberty will again triumph, and
pure republican government will be secured.
Such interference with the rights of State
We would resist as strongly and as sincerely a.
We now do the unjust interference of aboltio,
With our domestic institutions. But we think
i would be difficult for the fanatics Of the nortl
to point out the difference between the tive
cases.

town, TO see the sights. In the evening the
corporation fireworks at the Park attracted a
multitude of perhaps not less than one hun
dred thousand souls to witness the display,
men, women, and children and all over the
city, the rafting of fre-crackers, pistols, and old
muskets, and the discharge Of muskets, kept
up universal uproar in every hole and corner,
till past midnight. Indeed, for the thirty-six
hours ending with the midnight of the glorious
fourth, the noise and confusion OF crackers,
rockets, bells, and what not, was literally deaf
ening in every quarter Of the city, excepting
the Fifth avenue, and few other localities, the
population of which are mostly off to the sea-
shore or the springs.
There were some casualties and accidents,
yesterday, of course; but, upon the whole, the
day passed off with extraordinary ciea and
harmony in this great commercial Babylon.
UNCLE SAM.
The cholera is slowly on the increase, owing
to the excessive heat of the weather. The
heat to-day is dreadful to think of in this con-
nection; but as yet there is no occasion for
alarm. The disease has not assumed the form
of an epidemic.

Crow KILLED BY LIGHTSISG.--Last Satur.
day afternoon. during the prevalence Of a
thunder storm, Mr.. Robert B. Styll, residing on
Marion HILL short distance east Of the city,
was standing in the door Of his residence,
watching the warning elements. His atten.
ton was attracted to crow, which was flying
over the field, and just as the bird got directly
above wheat stack, Mr.. s. saw sudden flash
OF lightning, and at the same time the bird
fell to tue ground. Immediately thereafter the
stack OF wheat took FIRE, and was consumed.
AS soon as MIR. s. could do 80, he sont q ser
want ruto the field, and bad the crow brought
TO HIM, it beng perfectly dead, having been
struck down by the same bolt whoh fred the

The Wheeling Bridge.

An injunction, issued by Judge Grier, Of
Pittsburg, one of the justices OF the supreme
court, has just been served on me as an officer
of the Wheeling Bridge Company, command
ing me to abstain from placing any wire, TIM
Der, bridge or thing whatever across the Ohio
river at less elevation than is provided for in
the decree of the supreme court entered in
May, 1852.
The Wheeling Bridge was constructed under
charter granted by the State Of Virginia,
and endorsed by the Sta,e of Ohio; aud, SUB
sequently to its erection, the company were
authorized to maintain their work by al act OF
Congress making it a post road.
The grave question. whether "the power to
establish post routes,n and "the power to regu-
late commerce among the several States" real
ly resides in Congress, and may be constitu-
tionallyexercised by CpngressaloHe--or whether
the Congress holds these powers, as is main.
tanned by Judge Grier, subject in their exer-
else, to the consent and appreciation of the
supreme court is Que which, imagine, will
demand and receive the consideration of Con
gress and the public. l need not discuss it
now. But, / take this occasion to saw for the
information of those whose duty it NAV vet be.
come to deal with this issue, that if / am not
obstructed by the court the repairs of the
Wheeling bridge will be so far advanced that
the structure may be again opened to general
travel and the transit Of the United States
mails, in two weeks from this date.

A PATTERN FEMALE PrcKPocKEr.-In the
foreign items column Of the Courier and En-.
quirer is the following:
"The police have Just arrested the Oldest and
most experienced Of Parisian female pick.
pockets, woman nieknamed, for her dexterity,
Main dor. few days ago they received in
teiligence that several pockets had been picked
At railway stations, and that the Main dor had
just arrived in Paris. Thinking that she lust
be the author Of the robberies, they set watch
for her, and saw her in the bureau of the Passy
omnibusses near the Palais Royal. She was
finely dressed, but preserved an air of demure
respectability. Several ladies we're in the Office
at the timei and presently the police saw her
slip her hand into the pocket Of a young lady,
and draw from it a well-filled purse. They i'm
mediately, in polite terms, asked her to ac-
company them, and they carried her off to the
prefecture OF police. Main dor made no at.
tempt to deny her guilt, but said it was her
hrst offence, and that she had only recently ar.
rived from Holland where her husband died
short time ago. The history Of this woman is
very curious. She married at the early age of
10, and Immediately took to thieving. Her
success was such that she and her husband
lived in fine hotel and kept carriage and
pair. After his death she lived with different
eminent thieves, most OF whom are now in Jail
Her age at present is about 81, and for up
wards of so years she has constantly practised
thieving. In the course of that time she has
frequentlybeen condemned in France, aud also
in Switzerland, Germany, Italy, Holland, and
other countries.
