An English reviewer snms mp Macaulay in
one sentence as follows: He is as wonder.
ful man as one can be without being greai
one"
As to his person-he is perhaps as perfec,
an example as could be desired, of what Am.
orleans consider Irregular John Bull" He
is short, round, and somewhat burly; with
that singular expression of features--combi-
ming honesty and intellectually, with great
stubbornness or kind of peevish morose-
ness--which SO often marks our able but e.
gotistical cousins over the water. He has
never been married, and his moral character
if we may Judge from certain passages in
his History of England-is, though good as
the world goes, by no means of the high,
Christian order. His conversational pow
ers are splendid-and sometimes little TOO
Overwhelming. Our readers will remember
Sydney Smiths sarcastic rem ark, that to be
perfect in this respect, he needed only ga
few brief flashes cf--silence. - Saturday

States Rights outraged.

! The decision of Leavitt, the United States
! Judge for the Southern District of Ohio, that
the four fugitives from Kentucky, indicted
for murder committed in the State of Ohio
should, notwithstanding that indictment, be
delivered to their Kentucky claimant. in ac-
cordance with the decision of Commissioner
Pendery-who, with the temptation before
him of an extra five dollars, of course deci-
ded against the fugitives-has excited very
general surprise; nor is the surprise less gen.
eral that the Ohio Sheriff should have con-
formed to this decision, without stopping to
inquire what the tribunals whose sworn Off
Ger he is might think about it, or whether or
not they might entertain the same views as
to his and their rights and duties in the prem
ises, with those promulgated by the District
Judge.
1t certainly seems very odd that an Ohio
Sheriff should thus implicitly submit to be
taught his duty by the Judge of foreign
tribunal; and we are not little curious to
see what steps will be taken by the authori-
ties of Ohio to perform their duty and to vim
dicate their rights. For that the rights of
the State OF Ohio, and the respect due to her
criminal process have been most grossly
trampled under foot by those insolent United
States officials, very few, we Think will
question. This is Il point upon which we
suspect lawyers, statesmen and men of COM
mon sense will all agree in reaching the
same conclusion, and that without any diff
Guilty whatever.
I,,I,, I hoI III
does not begin to cast even the shadow of u
plausible vail over this audacious insult. this
humilating blow at the sovereignty of Ohio.
He admits shat if the question as to the
"rightful custody oi these four persons could
"be controlled and governed with exclusive
preference to the rights asserted by their own
ser and claimant" he "shoud have no hesi-
clancy in holding that these rights could not
'bc protected ut the hazard OF infringing up
"on the rights and dignity Of the State of
Ohio" Looking at the fugitive Slave Law
us intended merely for the preservation of
the rights of the master, Mr.. Justice Leavtt
fully admits that it cannot be set up for mo
ment against the criminal law OF Ohio. In
order to sustain that decision he is obliged
to look at the Fugitive Slave Act in quite
another light; to see it "in different and
far more imposing aspect" What that diff
lerent and far more imposing aspect is, he
does not inform us in express terms. He
leaves that to bo inferred from his decision
and his action. From such evidence as
these afford he would seem to regard the
Fugitive Slave Act not so much as intended
to protect the constitutional rights of the
master as great political triumph of the
shareholders and slavedrivers over the Free
States and Free principles Of the North.

! The ferryman Tefuseds and down went hi.
head under water, and there it was held Ions
enoughsss Peter thought, to conquer his reluc
tance. He raised him up and repeated his de
mand.
s'Let me BREATHE" gasped the ferryman
"Give me few minutes to think about it.
"Not a moment" And under went his
head again.
The inquiry was again put, when the ferry.
mans head was next raised. "Willyou pray
now!'
ayes, I'll do anything" and the fellow obe-
diently repeated the Lords Prayer, after the
dictation of Cartwright. SHOW let me up,
he added.
mo, not yet" replied the inexorable Peter.
"You must make three promises before | let
you up: First, you must promise to pray eve-
ry night and morning as long as you live;
then you must promise to put every Metho-
dist preacher who comes along, over the river
for nothing; and lastly, you must promise
hereafter to attend every meeting of the Meth
odists held within four miles Of you.''
The whole transaction took place in full
VIC" vi tbO Hiuh OOuli ouCo Ou tuC SHOi
but the intervening river insured 'fair play,
and the ferryman felt himself in Cartwright's IS
hands. He promised faithfully to do all tha,
was demanded of him. The transit across
the river was finished; the preacher went on
his way; the ferryman kept his word, and in
course of time was converted, and became a
shining light in the church.
Earnest men. concluded the reverend gen.
tlemen, were these old preachers. Their
souls were firmly convinced of the truth of
what they had to say. They may have been
deicien: in the niceties of their calling, tho
it is wonderful how they improved in this
respect. 1--WE all tell each other all we
know" said one, in answer to question put
how it happened that the young preachers
grew up to be such strong men. They had
their faults, it is true; still, among them were
to be found some of the noblest examples of
self-sacrificing labor, and some of the bright
est instances of ministerial usefulness that

Lines Respectfully Dedicated to my
Nephew, Oliver K. Reynolds.
BY LILY MAY.

| pity thee my friend;
In thr fret flush of manhood called to bear
Such deep unuttered woe, as wrings the soul,
Dragging from Earths dim carerns of des air
Heart bursting grief, that rends beyond control;
Bidding thee think that all earIhs joys have fed
And all thy Hopes are buried with the dead
/ know it's hard for th.e
To bear this wrecl of lie: IT. when the bright glow
Ofyouthiul hope seemed resting on thy brow;
For thou vert called alas! full soon, to know
This bitterness which caused thy heart to bow;
She was thine Earthly Idol, and ii, well
Perhaps, that she was taken, who can tell
Look up thou stricken one;
Perhaps high, and holy mission yet
Is mcted out tor thee. though bowed with grief
And pow eress now, let not thy spiri. fret,
But il thou wouldst obtain that sweet relief
Which the sick soul 50 covrts, look above
Full trusting in the Saviour. paidonirg love.
Thy path may ye, be bright,
For time may s. a'ter flowers along thy way,
And from thy spirit chuse this heavy gloom;
Though proudly striving for the good, still may
And thou muyst wander toretrace again
L he path SO early irod, midst grief and pain.
Let us not live and die
Like there was nought to care for, Earth is brigh,
And life is not all aimlcss, we may tread
Ger slippery pathways, but glorious light
May shine at last DER each devoted head;
We know not what We live for. ye! It's true
There's some good work for oil OF us To do.
Then let us nobly strive
To net our parts with firmncss, and believe
We do our duty first IN doing well
What comes before us, let us not deceive,
But speak out boldly. that our works may tell
Whether to proper right is given
To wear a cross on Earth, crown in Heaven.
