No less than three bushels Of petitions
nave, within few days, been presented to

appointment is for life. The people Of
M">Sac husetts have run mad upon the sub

All this fury has beca raised about the
head OF Judge LorlHg, simply because he
discharged his duty, and executed a law of
Congress- which, as y Commissioner, he
had sworn to do. b. t..s,> ..
According to abolition ethics, it is less
crime to commit perjury, than to execute
constitutional law, should that law not

Greek disconsolate family: II tried

KosciuskO aadhis Love

The maiden to Hhom this Polish
hero had given his heart, was a
daughter OF one Of the grand digni-
taries of the kingdom, and therefore
raised by birth sabbye Kosciusko-
But true love is a true eHer-its
alchemy,detects merit ii tic mean
est station, and itsi power Of affinity
can overcome material obstacles -
The lady Louisa Sosnowski return
ed the love of the poor officer as the
truth and frrSencyofhis attachment
deservcd--but a life of happiness
was not for him. ! The young lady
first conlided her attachment to her
mother; and them Kosriu+ko, with
tears and kncelng# Mt the fathers
feet, confessed hiss pare but uncon-
querable passion: The parents,
blinded by hereditary pride of ances-
try,and cxasperat@d at the idea that
the splendor of their ancient house
should be dimncd by their daugh-
ter's marriage with. ain officer of rank
inferior; prohibited all intercourse
between the impassi oned lovers, and,
to insure the observance of their pro,
shibition, placed spies upon all their
steps. But love fohnd means to- de-
ceive the Argus eyes placed over
them, and knit two Soung hearts clo-
ser to each other.
kosciusko, now driven to despair,
propose an eloperAent. The lady
agrees, all is arranged and the hap
picst result promises to crown their
hopes. Under the, shade of dark
night they effect their esca pc from
the castle-attain seemingly unpur-
sued to some distance, a warm en-
brace speaks their mutual congrat-
ulations, and the Bright hopes of
unison that are dawning upon their
hearts. But a sudden noise startles
the lovers from theif dream OF bliss;
the Marshalls people surround and
attempt to- seize them. kosciusko
draws his sword, and des perately
strives to defend bis beloved. 4
sanguinary conflict ensues, but the
issue could not be doubtful. Kosci-
usko wounded, exhausted; senseless-1
ly sank to the ground. and the Lady
Louisa was draggedsback to her pa
rental home. When, after three
hours swoon, Kosciasko rcgained his
consciousness. he crawled iecbly and
despairingly to the nearest village,
where one ofhis friends was quarter.

The Game they ore Playing.

The Moryantown Telegraph publishes
the following circulars, which, that paper
states. were captured from a Know Moth
ing council. These papers reveal a deep
laid scheme to defeatthe Hon. Z. Kidweil
for Congress, in the Wheeling district--a
means SO sntagonistic to every manly and
brave sentiment, so devoid ofrespectabili-
ty, that those who are privy to it, must
feel the ashings Of conscience severe and
relentless, il indeed, they have suchla
thing as conscience. How honorable men
can place themselves in such a hamilia-

manly position is q mystery To- us. How
they can reconcile their midnight plots

with the character Of b gentleman, we can.
