whi,,ier's " limitations"

The sapient editor of the .Egis, az green in
literature as in politics, affects lordship in
either department with the same laundering
arrogance. In a conceited critique on Whit
tiers " Literary Recreations and MiScellanies"
"a volume just published by Ticknor and
Field,-the swelling editor of that journal
croaks over the prose essays of the
"Quaker poet " with the solemn hoarseness
of an ancestral Windham frog. To lovers of
the grotesque and ridiculous, it is quite
amusing to see Sir Manikin Croaker dilate
himself over Whittier's servile limitations "
of Hawthorne, Giles, and other popular
writers now 6 treading the Essay field"
The editor of the .Egis has sort of apology
for his ignorance of the politics of Massachu-
sets, not having lived many moons in the
State, and we therefore count his frequent
errors in that line as mere peccadiloeS. But
what novice in the republic Of literature is so
profoundly ignorant as not to know that
Whittier the alleged imitator, had been a
writer of such " Literary Recreations and
Miscellanies as he has now gathered into
volume, many years before Hawthorne dream
ed of literary fame, or Giles, whether in
"high- heeed boots or barefoot had been
heard of in the " Essay field" on either side of
the Atlantic:
No good writer is wholly free from obliga-
ton to his predecessors; but the free genius
of Whittier has a native contempt for servile
" imitation" His earlier and later produce
tons, whether in prose or verse, are genuine
images of his own mind, and of course have
true likeness to each other. If &C imitation
is Justly chargeable upon any of the writers
above named, the sin must be theirs who
were followers of him that was foremost in
the field, and therefore cannot be Whittiers.
A successful Limitation " even of his prose"
would be an attainment of which the editor
of the .Egis might well be proud; but we
fear his chance for success would be despe-
rate, for the secret of Whitder's power is
hearty, steadfast principle for God and man
a principle which a genuine editor of the
IL gis must throw away at the outset, for the
mess of pottage to be Tapped from the political
cauldron. His fling at the 90 strong minded
woman of whose &C stride " he fippantly
pirates, is neither decorrus nor manly. Had
his heart been in the right place. he would
not have aped the pro slavery cant which, for
mean poll teal ends, would detract from the
honorable fame of woman who has so
pleaded the cause of humanity as to touch,
almost in the twinking of an eye, the hearts
of all nations, from the hovel to the throne.
How soon will the pert sayings other malgn-
ers pass, Ike themselves, into oblivion How
sure is the memory of her genius and its con-
seoration to liberty and right, to be part of
her country's renown when the most powerful
and the most honored of political parties shall
have peri shed, and their glory been turned
into shame! If the editor of the .EgiS were
worth advising, we would whisper in his ear
the cautious maxim, {" Look before you leap"

A WOMAN APPARENTLY White SURREND-
ERD TO SLAyERY.--Fouth District Court-A
rather singular case came before this Court
yesterday. Some days since woman named
Pelaskie was arrested as a fugitive slave, who
had lived for more than twelve years in this
city, as a free woman. She was SO neatly
white, that few could detect any traces of her
African descent She was arrested at the in
stance Of a man named Raby, who claimed
her as belonging to an estate of which he is
heir law. She was conveyed to the First
District guard honse for safe keeping, and
while there she stated to Acting Recorder Fill
leul that she was free, had never belonged to
Raby, and had been in the full and unques-
toned enjoyment of her freedom, in this city,
for the above mentioned period. She also
stated that she had a house well furnished,
which she was in the habit of letting out in
rooms. About this time lawyer appeared
before the Recorder, and stated that the wo-
man was born in slavery, and now belonged
to man in Mississippi. He produced bill
of sale, which corroborated his assertion, and
which stated that in a certain number Of years
she was to be set free. This being a sort of
triangular fight, the woman, Raby and the
lawyer forming the corners, the Recorder
found himself somewhat at a loss what to do,
and as Raby pressed his claim, the Recorder
advised him to apply to one of the District
Courts. Accordingly he applied to the Fourth
District Court, and took rule on Acting Re-
corder Filleul to show cause why madamus
should not be issued, compelling him to de-
liver mp the woman. Mr.. Filleul appeared be-
fore the Court, and stated circumstances men
toned. Judge Reynolds decided, however,
that Raby was the owner of the woman, and
ordered the rule to be made absolute, and a
writ Of rnandamus to be issued upon Acting
Recorder Filleul for the surrender of the slave.
The issuing Of the writ, however, was rendered
unnecessary by the declaration Of Mr.. Filleul
that the order Of the Conrt was sufficient. and
that he would at once order the woman's re-
lease. Time, however, has been given 10 her
to prove her freedom, and also to the lawyer
to prove the validity Of the bill of sale.-N.

The Corn CRoPs.-A Cincinnati CORES
pondent of the Journal Of Commerce, after
travelling over most of the Western States,
has come to the conclusion that considering
the increased breadth of land planted, there
will be full average crop of corn. He be-
lieyes that Wisconsin and Iowa will produce
fifty per cent more than an average crop. Ill
inois will have, taking the State through, an
average yield. The product of corn in Mis-
souri, will equal three-fourths of the usual
product. Indiana and Ohio will fall a very
little short of the average In Kentucky
there will be from two thirds to three -fourths
of an average crop. The crop of Tennessee,
the great corn State, will fully equal the av-
erage, and in Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama
and Georgia, there is large excess over any
former year. The writer believes that there
viii be no difficulty in regard to the fattening
of hogs, even in Kentucky. The census of
Kentucky and Indiana shows "a surplus of
500, 900 hogs over the number of last year, aud
therefore no one need starye for want of corn
and pork.

FREE FIGHT 1t KEYPoRT.-T is a
fair prospect of fight at Keyport, N. j.,
which will be free to all creation on land and
sea. The belHgerents are the " k-yard
Irish, and " the Oystermen." The war
commenced something in this wise; a party
of Oystermen landed upon the shore near the
brickyards to assert their oysters. Pat came
down and ordered the sons Of Neptune back
to their bTiny home
"An' faith, an be jabers We'll tache We

catch your ugly shelfsh, it's divil of foot
on shore shall ye setin this blessed spot. Dye
hear that, ye spalpeens Now be off wild We,
or Wen be after breaking your heads. We blag-
CARDS, wild the bricks
And at it they went, ten to one on the oys-
tiers, and bricks won. The next evening the
oysters re- enforced and went out for a free
fight, but the beligerents did not como to the
point of shells and bricks, except perhaps a
few of the latter were found in somebody's
hats. The Paddles took to the bush, to await
recruits from outsiders, and then they prom
ised to swallow every mothers son that
handles the tongs as easily as they could eat
their oysters. 1t is said that there are some
two hundred of the bricks and half as many
oysters going in for this free fght.-N. Z.
