RETALIATIoN.-The bill passed by the late
Massachusetts Legislature for nullifying the
fugitive slave law, provides, in substance, for
the outlawing of any claimant of fugitive
slave by refusing him the benefit of legal ad-
vice, and shutting the courts against him Any
lawyer in Massachusetts who shall aid or an
pear for any claimant of fugitive, is to be
struck off the roll of the profession No law
yer can live in Massachusetts, under the law
unless upon the condition that he shall be an
anti-slayery nullifier
Several Southern papers haveproposcd retail
latory measures, on the part of the Southern
States, such agreements among the members
of the profession, not to give aid directly or in
directly to any citizen of Massachusetts, in col
lccting any debt, or prosecuting any claim
whatever. To this is added the proposition
that Southern banks and brokers shall refuse
to negotiate or receive for collection any Bos-
ton paper. In short the policy seems to find
favor, of a general Southern combination, to-
rctaliatc upon Massachusetts, for her fanatica
conduct, by excluding her, as far as it is posi-
be, from all intercourse with, or rights in the
States, upon which she has proclaimed so re-
lentless warfare. The resentment is deep and
strong, and the injury is gross and unendura-
ble The means and the mode of redress are
occupying the thoughts of all minds, and at
the next session of every Southern legislature
the subject will be taken up in earnest and
some measures, we hope, adopted which will
be common to them all, and approved by their
constituents for united, energetic and uncea-
sing action, to secure the restoration of their
rights under the constitution.-N o. Pic

OBITUARY.

DIED-Of Typhoid fever onWcdnesday the 3lst
of October, 1865, DR.. Robert d. Martin after an i'll.
ness of four weeks continuance. The subject ofthis
notice about nine years since, established himself
as a physician in IL small village in the lower end
of Washington Co., Pa. After faithful and pru-
dent perseverance succeeded in migrating himself
both as II physician tud moml CIR of civil Society,
into the favor of all classes.
His deccase will be much lamented by all who
knew Ills merits. This was strongly evinced by
the attention paid to him by his fellow physicians
far and near, as well as by his neighbors. In tie
whole course of his disease, which from the first
he considered mortal, he manifested great compo-
sure and resignation, particularly in his last mo-
mcnts. And we fondly hope and trust that he has
gone to that rest prepared for the people of God,
and that our loss is his gain.
Of every benevolent and good cause he was a
vigilant and warm supporter But more particular
ly the Anti-Slayery cause has lost a most ardent
friend. in the support of which neither time,
money, or talents were spared, his whole soul APP
peared wholly absorbed in the cause Of the op-
pressed.
As a husband, he was loving faithful and true
as q parent, tender and afect;onate; as a friend,
candid free and open, in a word, lovely in his life
and lovely in his death. Alas. in an All wise Provi-
dence, he is no more.

Mr.. Robinson: Your excellent paper is specially
devoted to one cause and momentous is that cause.
1t is not too much to emphasize and call it The
cause.
There is a philosophy in the remedy of moral
evil and that philosophy recognizing all moral
error as having its origin in the same root, Of
course this same remedy applies to all. That
root is ignorance; the remedy Of course is knowl
edge.
Every one knows that ignorance of any science,
or art can be cured, only by acquaintance with
such science, or art. tits equally true in ethics.
lie who has not studied our ature-ascertained
our rights as deduced from our Natural wants,
cannot comprehend our relations, and hence can.
not be a reliable moral agent. There is some
thing more in radical, in a genuine ethical system
than the unrefecting are apt to suppose.
If it is admitted, and who will deny it? that
knowledge is the basis of everything useful, itfollows
that the more we have of it the better. This be.
lug SO, every facility for its acquisition must be
more than welcomed by the philantsropist.
