SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS.

The Union rejoices over the decision of
Judge Kane in the Wheeler slave case, where
in that distinguished jurist holds that there is
no statute in Pennsylvania setting free the
slaves Of citizens of other States in transitu
through Pennsylvania, and that any such
statute would be unconstitutional if enacted
The points decided by him are as follows, viz :
81. That know Of nc statute either of the
United States, or of Pennsyly ania. or of New
Jersey, the only other State that has quail
fed jurisdiction over this part of the Delaware
that authorizes the forcible abduction Ct any
person or any thing whatsoever without claim
Of property, unless in aid Of legal process.
90. That / know of no statute of Pennsyl-
vania, which affects to divest the rights OF
property of a citizen of North Carolina, ae-
quired and asserted under the laws of that
State, because he has found it neediul or con-
venient to pass through the territory of Penn
sylvanis.
80. That / am not aware Of any such stat
ute, if such one were shown, that could be
recognized as valid in a court of the United
States.
a. That i; seems to me altogether unim-
portant whether they were slaves or not. IL
would be the mOckery of philanthropy to as
sert that, because men had become free, they
might therefore be forcibly abducted"
The Judge further imprisoned Passmore
Williamson for contempt Of court, in swearing
falsely in the answer lie made to the pro-
cess allowed az the instance of John FL
Wheeler, whose negroes Williamson assisted
to abduct.
The Union also chides the southern Know
Nothirgs for essaying to conceal the fact that
Salmon P. Chase is the regularly nominated
Know Nothing candidate for Governor OF
Ohio; and publishes many accounts of with
drawaIs from Know Nothing lodges at the
South.
The Inteliigeneer moralizes over the East
ern war, of which it cannot iorsee the end, and
regrets the failure of the Austrian proposition
for peace, of Count Buol, and thinks the Allies
are to blame for it. The editor says that from
1898 10 the Paciication Of 1915, none of the
great wars of Europs in that time, ever inspired
SO deep an interest as is Low concentrated
throughout chr.stendOm upon this Eastern war,

Catholio,Dcoks.

We are ipdebte. u Taylor & Maury for CO.
pies of the following recent works, fresh from
the prolific press of Murphy Co., Baltimore,
viz: Growth in Holiness, by Father Faber;
yindieation of the Catholic Church, by Bishop
Kendriek The Immaculate Conception, by
Bishop Ulathorne; and the Blessed Sacra-
unent, also by Father Faber. These books are
standard publicatiOns of the Catholic Church
written by three Of its most distinguished
theological writer's who use the English Ian
suage They are eminently devotional, as
we'll a polem;c. We need hardly call the
attention of devout members Of the Catholic
Church to them, as that class of our fellow
citizens are prone to seek with eagerness any
thing from the pens Of these sincere Christians
and able men. To those who have formed
their estimate of Catholicism on the Maria
Nonkish publications Of the day, the printed
hob-goblin stories of bitterly anti Catholic CO.
tenpors 1eeus historians, and the rawlings of
the Leahys, Cassallis, Argel-Gabriels, and
GavazEis, who are now on anti-Cathelic cru
saoes, we heartily recommend the perussl of
the works mentioned above wherein, though
they fnJ much dOetrins they cannot receive,
they will Ind faith, hope and charity incp1-
Gated with earnest eloquence and power, rarely
surpassed in theological writings of the times
We know nothing more essentially anti. Chris
tan than the habit Of judging men and cresds
by what their enemies bitte.: erejudiced, and
incorporating, say of them-no:hing.
The system o. this country is founded on the
on the idea that all our people are devoted to
the maintainance of the eternal principle of
justice in all things, which must be observed
or we nnst cease to be free and SO prosper
Gus people; as no people have yet remained
free and prosperous for any considerable time
after they have become radically unjust. Be-
iieving as we d. that the existing national cru
SADIE against our Catholic fellow citizens, man
lfests an alarming propensity Of large masses
of our people to throw justice to the winds
when it stands in the way Of the qualification
Ofbad passions and principles, we hope sincere
ly that sober second thought will ere long in
duce the very general reading of Catholic
books thai the Catholics of the United States
may be judged fairly by their anti Catholic fell
A.. low citizens.
