TRIPL LETT,s Pension Laws.

The compilation Of Captain Triplett is one
of the most useful and valuable which has been
submitted to the pubic; and is, indeed, it
seems to us, Indispensable to all who desire to
rightfully understand the pension laws, the de-
cisions under them, ard the regulations of the
pension Office.
From a few simple enactments, those laws
have been increased to quite large code !;
and, though originally intended to be plain
and comprehensive, through various modi6ca-
tons and amendments, they have become so
involved and, seemingly, contradictory, that
they are not easily understood unless they are
carefully analysed. As consequence, nu-
merous parties, who are embraced by those
laws, are deferred from presenting their claims
in person, By the difficulties with which they
believe they would have to contend; and,
after few unsuccessful efforts, commit them
TO professed agents, whose better knowledge
enables them to do what the original par.
les could not do, The sums realized by this
class OF persons are said to be very large,
whilst their duties, in most cases, could be
easily performed BY the parties entitled if plain
and practical exposition of the laws, decisions.

A STANDING AaoLITIoN ARMY.

The Worcester Spy, a name perfectly in
character with the paper that bears it, com
menting on the late fugitive slave case in Bos-
ton, recommends the following mode of pre-
venting such occurrences in future: HThere is
one and but one way to recover and maintain
our liberties, and that is resistance, deadly re-
sistance. There must be resistance, if
necessary, either with or without the forms of
law. 1t can be done and that efectu-
ally and Immediately by secret organization
that shall extend throughout the State and the
whole north. Let it be as secret as the grave,
and extend to and CONTROL by its machinery,
every department Of the State. Let
this organization be ready and able to have
ten thousand men at any point in Boston or
other large town, at one hours notice, and to
have five hundred men at five minutes notice,
all armed, if necessary, with revolvers," &c.
Astanding abolition army extending through
out the whole north, regularly officered and
fully equipped That is new abolition kick.
1t is, indeed, one of the grandest military pro-
jects ever proposed. Resistance to the law and
the Constitution constitutes the virtue of aboli-
tiopists. But just suppose for one moment
such an organization to be formed, what
chance would the creatures who belonged to it
stand in the south, if any of them should be
caught there? A grapevine and the nearest
tree, or at least hot tar and coat of feathers,
would tell the tale. Let them try their secret
organization and the standing army.

r6- We notice in several papers intimations
that the Hon, Joseph r. Chandler, of Philade-
phia, is to be thrown overheard by the whig
party Of that city, as Precipitation to the anti
catholic spirit Of the aknow-nothings."
We have spoken our sentiments very freely
in relation to thiseparty, in disappearing its
organization, but we have no evidence of its
entertaining any purpose to prescribe the cath
olic religion through this gentleman Indeed,
SO far as we have opportunity to Judge of the
matter, we should say there is no member in
the House whose loss would be more regretted
by the know-nothings of this District.
Politics aside, Mr.. Chandler has the very
general goodwill and esteem Of his fellow-mem.
bers, and his politics never degenerate into
personal violence and vitnperation. IF we must
have whig from Philadelphia, no one could
be sent more watchful of the interests of his
constituents and unexceptionable in his bear.
ing towards political opponents If he should
be set aside, it will give such color to the
alleged prescription in religious matters by the
know-nothings, as would 60 far to confirm the

and usages of the Pension Office was before
them. That office does all that can be done
by way of instructions and regulations but it
is utterly impracticable to make them meet
every possible case which may arise, and even
the most simple may become complex, if the
first step is wrongly taken. To remedy this
evil, which has very unjustly drawn much
odium upon the pension system, was one of
the principle objects which induced Captain
Triplett to prepare his work; and most success
fully has he accomplished his task Indeed,
we know of no person better qualified for the
undertaking; for he is not only man of tai
ents, and sound and we'll read lawyer, but has
had a thorough and practical knowledge of the
mode in which the pension laws are admins
tered, derived from his long connexion with the
Pension Office, as its principal clerk. He thus
discovered the difficulties which beset appli-
cants, and has, in this book, applied the RENE
dies, and so simplifed the apparently complex
system that any man of ordinary intelligence
can, unaided, make ont his own case, and fully
meet every requirement of the Office That
office and the Department Of the Interior, we
understand, feel much interest in the success
Of Captain Triplett's book, which, if widely dis
tributed among the people, must result in not
only great individual benefit, but lessen the
arduous duties which devolve upon those en-
trusted with the administration of the pension
laws.

The Boston correspondent Of the Journal Of
Commerce, under date Of ] une 22d, says:
"The prospect increases that there will be
no New England clerical convention on slavery.
The Salem association Ito speak Of the ortho-
dox congregationalist) is unanimous against
the meeting, because they think the oonyen.
ton will do more to defeat the object for which
it is called, than to promote it besides being
liable to other serious objections 1t is no-
ticeable that all the members came to this re-
suit before consulting together. The Suffolk
North association is understood to be OF the
same mind, and the members of the Suffolk
South almost unanimously. A majority Of the
members Of the Worcester North oppose the
convention, and those of the Essex South very
generally. Most Of the clergy that have been
conversed with in Hampshire county and yici.,
nlty, think the proposed convention is. expe.
dent. On the other side, we hear of one small
conference, the Barnstable, that has Just voted
an affirmative of the importance of such con-
vention.
!" We have further a communication and an
editorial IN late Christian Register, (Unita-
rian,) both adverse 10 the convention. The
communication Is published in the Christian
Mirror, of Portland, Maine, Congregational
and probably expresses the general views of
the editor. At three Congregational confer
ences lately held in Maine, though the subject
Of slavery came up in two of them, there was
no action in reference to the convention. The
same was true in the Evangelical consociation
held at Providence, Rhode Island, on the 18th
instant and embracing the Congregational
clergy Of that State and yet there was other
action Of remarkable character, to which we
shall presently refer.
Thus it appears pretty certain that there
viii be no clerical convention on slavery, and
that ifthere is one, it will be too weak and crazy
to do any HARM

TREES ON THE PUBLIC GROUNDS.

The mall and the grounds around the Smith
sonian Institute should, we think, be ornamented
with choice selection of our native forest
trees. The advantages and claims of these
trees are many. First, because they are ma
tive--"to the manor born" Secondly, they are
of excelling beauty. Third, they are as nearly
exempt from the devastation of the worm as
is any healthy-breathing tree-the oak, the
hickory, the sugar-maple the dogwood, the
walnut, and very many others we might men
ton.
The objections to these are, that they are Of
such slow growth as to give only to a some
what distant posterity the benefit Of the shade
and beauty.
1t is true, that some of these trees in some
places take many years to attain full size;
but, when grown they last for ages, and they
can be SO planted in succession as to secure
them in full size and vigor in perpetuity. AT
the south, q tree will attain large size in half
the time it will at the north.
We doubt not that by proper culture, rich
and warm manuring, that any of our forest
trees would, in ten or twelve years, attain the
usual size Of the exotic ornamental trees and
eventually reach q size worthy of admiration \.
lfby this article, we can arrest the attention
Of parties better versed in this matter than
ourselves, we may hope for such full eSposi-
ton of this matter as its importance deserves.
We doubt not that there are many well in
formed on this subject, whose interest in the
matter will induce them to give such light on
the subject as shall secure for our public
grounds for shade and ornament those trees
best entitled to place in them. And that
something will be done to relieve the grounds
south of the Presidents House from its barren
aspect. Trees planted now will make fair
shade by the period Of the next census. They
should be planted as soon as it can be de-
termined which kind of tree shall be best
adapted to that purpose.
