SERFDOM IN RUSSIA.
A valuable article on tbs Subject will be found
IN our last page. The writer's statement, that the
erts Of Russia are in a worse condition than the
!aves of America is disproved by the facts of his
article as compared with the facts of slavery.
For instance, petitions of the serfs for a redress of
were received, considered, and granted.
But such a thing has never been heard of in Amer
ca, except in the attempted presentation of one
petition by John Quincy Adams. Our readers
know with what scorn it was received, and how
hat scorn concentrated itself upon the champion
IF the right of petition, who dared to present it to
The House of Representatives. But Russian Serf:
iom in its ameliOrated form is h horrible indeed, and
every friend Of humanity will rejoice in the pros
pect of its removal. Our Author thinks that the
invasion of Russia by the French and English,
that Government a beneficial lesson in re-
gard to civilization and the emancipation of her
Not unlikely. And if cur American des-
pots can learn this valuable lesson 10 no other
manner, who can object if similar tuition enforce
the lesson upon American Democrats.
HISTORY OF THE Missouri CoMPRoMIsE.-Thc
article we publish this week from the pen of Miss
Martineau is a clear and excellent presentation Of
facts, which will be perused by our readers with
and profit. Though thoroughly acquaint-
ed with the political history Of the question, she
.contemplates it primarily with the eye and heart
of Il moral reiormer. Some slight inaccuracies
occur in regard to minor particulars, but in the
main her stotements are entirely correct. Miss
Martineau gives Ohio altogether too much credit,
when she says she has a personal liberty bill
which places her virtually outside the pale of the
Union. Ohio to her disgrace, gives no personal
protection to the liberties of her citizens at all in
compatible with the rendition of slaves according
to the federal compact. In this she is loyal to the
Union, though false to liberty.

A QUESTION FOR LIFE INSURANCE CoMPANIEs.-
Punch suggests to the British Life Insurance Com
panies several questions, which. If they would
make safe investments, they should add to their
list of inquiries. Among them is the following.
Do you know any Americans, and is there any
chance of your getting into political or other argu-
ment with the owner Of a revolver?

POLITICAL ADMINISTRATIVE. A. Ill unter OF
Bryan county, O., has issued the first number of a
paper under the above title. 1t is the advocate Of
Gerrit Smiths election, and of his class OF Adolf
ton views.
CBRIsTocRATs is the name which the Baptists
and Complexities of Kentucky propose to take,
when the new translation If the Bible which they
are making in common, and which repudiates the
term baptize, shall have boen completed.
The Bible. according to these Kentucky Christ
ocrats, is for the slavery they love and practice.
Whether the new version makes the christian duty
of slaveholding more clear and impressive, as well
as the doctrine of Baptism we are not informed,
1t would hardly be up to the progressive spirit Of
the leader and oracle of that church unless it did.
