The Attorney General is the confidential adj
wiser of the President and Heads of Depart.
ments, on points of law. The treason trials at
Christiana, Pennsylvania, were set on foot under
advice, we presume, from the Attorney Gen.
eral; and we all know what efforts Caleb Cush-
ing has made to give the color of law to the
PrO-Slavery aggressions of his party.
Observe. then, that this post has been filled
twenty-five years by Northern men, and forty
two years by Southern men and Shareholders.
out OF sixty-seven years and among the North.
ern men, it would puzzle one to find in the
whole South more thoroughly Pro Slavery con-
structionists than Caleb Cushing and Isaac
Toucey.
