Dir. Brady, the schoolmaster, who was
treated to a specimen of southern chivalry, at
Lexington, KY, the other night, has returned
to his home at Oxford, Ohio. He was not tar
red and ieathered, but being called to the door
OF his house in the evening, was seized and
dragged out by some seven or eight men, who
threw him down, choked him, disocated his
jaw. poured aquantity Of black paint over his
head, and stole his pocket book Subsequent
ly the school committee compelled him TO re-
sign, and il was with some difficulty no left
the city without being mobbed. His offense
consisted in writing a letter TO the Oxford, o.
paper, in which he compared the doctrine of
a Christian sermon, at Lexington, with the
practical religion Of slave auction, that he
witnessed on his way home from church. Tho
letter was neither radical nor severe, and none
but the most equity consciences could have
been hurt by it.

They only are the judges from whose sem
tenee the indicted are to expect life or death.
From their verdict there lies no appeal They
reSoSUe both lac aud fact; and this has al1eays
bsen their Custom and practice.
The following extract from the speech of
Hon. Charles Allen, in the late Constitution
al Convention, puts the matter Of the rights
of jurors in clear and undisputable light
ssSir, it seems to me, that the pangs and
fears which haunt my friends, at the very
idea that jury should be allowed to pass
upon the law in criminal cases, after all the
opportunity they have had, derived from the
instruction of a learned court, results from an
unreasonable dstrust of that institution. The
fear is, that that which our fathers regarded
as the palladium of our liberties, should prove
to be their destruction, and that there is no
safety for freedom to be but found upon the
bench. Now, sir, I have no such fear
Neither the experience of the past, nor my
own reflection, have filed me with any such
apprehensions. In the course of a somewhat
long professional career, from year to year, l
have learned to respect more and more the
decisions Of juries. l have learned to rest
theie as the last resort and defence of my lib
critics, my rights, and my privileges. The
legislature may pass unreasonable and uncon-
stitutional laws, and conservative courts may
sustain them, but ! viii trust to the jury,
with the Constitution and the Blk Rights
intheir hands, to protect me against any I'M
constitutional or unreasonable dangers. Sir,
in ordinary cases, the juries will always take
the law from the court, which relieves them
from great responsibilities responsibility
from which they seek to be relieved. Inas-
much as they take an oath to act upon the
law and the evidence. and to decide rightly,
they may consistently with the obligations of
that oath, leave the law to the opinion of the
court.
But there are great cases which sometimes
arise in the history of nation, in which fun
damental principles are assailed, when you
cannot rely entirely upon the legislature, or
upon the courts when your defence must
come from the people themselves, from the
juries who are of the people. Sir, the Bill Of
Rights declares certain great principles,
and secures certain privileges, among which
are these-that all men ale created free and
equal, and that they have the right to defend
their lives and liberties. Now, if law is
passed, which contravenes these rights, l do
not believe it should be left entirely to the
court to determine what the law is. | believe
the people themselves have the right to this
security, not only against the legislature but
against the court too. l believe the jury have
the right to say, whether, in their opinion,
law violates a fundamental principle laid
down in the Bill of Rights. They will spurn
the opinion Of the legislature, and of the
courts, and all human authority that can be
combined, and standing upon the charter of
all men of Massachusetts, will declare the
law t. be unconstitutional"

TUESDAY, Jan. %.
HoUsE.-Mr. Boyce offered resolution to
the effect that, in view of the threatening as
peet of our relations with England, indicat.
ing the advent of startling events, it behooE-
ed the conservative elements of the House to
mite at once for the election Of Speaker.
Mr.. stephens hoped that the gentleman
would be permitted to state facts upon which,
he made the announcements that We were On
the eve OF war. If it vas so, he knew moth
ing about it.
Objections were made to any explanation.
On motion Of Mr.. Morgan, the resolution
was tabled.
Dir. McMullen made an Intellectual effort to
rescind the resolution prohibiting debate.
Mr.. Tyson offered a resolution that the can
didate Tor Speaker who shall at any time here
after receive the highest number of votes from
quorum OF members, though less than ma.
Jouty, be declared elected Speaker. Tabled.
The House then proceeded to Vote, with the
following result Banks, 81: Richardson,
81; Fuller, 20; Campbell, 8; Pennington, Il
Shorter, Porter, l.
Two more votes were taken, resulting the
same. Adjourned.
WASHINGTON, January Ex-senator Doug

He has had an operation performed on his
throat, which has caused him much delay.
Amid conflicting statements, information
from an authentic source warrants the asser-
tim, that so far from a special message rela-
tive to our foreign affairs being about to be
sent in to either branch of Congress, it has
moi at any time been contemplated, much less
has it been the subject of cabinet consultas
ton. Though this government has demand
ed the recall of Mr.. CHAMPION and the British
Consuls engaged in recruiting for. the Crimea,
it can as confidently be stated that there has
been no pupose, in or out of the Cabinet, to
withdraw Mr.. Buchanan from England, I'M
i less at his own request. Negotiations be-
tween Great Britain and the United States
are still open, dispatches having been sent out
by the last steamer, and nothing has occurred
since the transmission of the Presidents me :
sage to Congress, to change the aspect OF our
relations abroad.
Mr.. Boyces resolution, offered in the House
to-day, declaring our relations with Great Brit
ain to be of the most serious character, and
indicating that we may be on the eve of start
ling events, was not, as supposed, submitted
with the knowledge and consent of the Ex-
ecntive, but Was Mr.. Boyces own PROPOSE
