The Mobile Advertiser. of the 18th, holds
the following language in regard TO Judge
Lecompte's removal:
This action seems on par with Mr..
Pierce's whole proceeding in regard to Kan
sas and the slavery question. He writes
well and pointedly on one side and acts di-
rectiy to the contrary of all his fine senti-
ments. He is certainly an adept in the
sublime art of Hooking one way and rowing
another-and should be suitably remem-
bered therefor at the next Exhibition of
the Industry of all Nations::" The South

Ohio, paying one-tenth of these contribu-

it cannot be deemed unfit that her General

The relations of the National Govern
ment to Slavery, still engross large share
OF the public attention; but ! have little
to add to the considered views which have
already expressed.
That slavery is contrary to reason and
natural justice; that it is of such nature
that nothing short of positive law can sus-
tam 1t; That no power to enact such laws
has been granted to the National Govern
ment; and that slavery, therefore, outside
of Slave States, can have no valid legal
sanction, seem to me incontroverible pro-
positions.

EDGEFIELD, S. c., JANUARY %, 1857.
A BACK WARD MOVEMENT.

\ North Carolina Court, emulous of &C,
ql,rng fame equal to that of Massachu
sctts two hundred years ago, and of Con,
necticut a little later-the one for her per.
sccuions of witches and the other for her
Blue Laws, has decided that Univcrsalsts
shall not b. deemed competent witnesses in
court of justice! This is due to the pc
culiar religious belief OF these people. We
wonder that the North Carolin!ans left the
task to q court and have not embodied the
bigotry indicated by the ruling of the court
in an enactment of the State Legislature to
I've called-somewha as follows:
" An act to increase all offences against
the persons and property of the people
known as lnivcrsalists--such as murder,
robbery, forgery. brutal assaults, batteries,
obtaining goods under false prctenscs, viola
tons Of contract and all olh"r acts ordina-
rly considered crimes, and against the peace
Of this commonwealth. and 10 convert the
same offences into harmless amusement"
For the ruling of the court will have pre-
ciscly the effect Of encouraging crime against
the class Of people against whom the decis-
ion of the court has been made. Doubtless
it would give the Judge great pleasure 10 set
society back Il century or two, and We dare
say tl!at at times it must strike him with Pc
culiar regret that there are no such e&hilira-
ting spcctaclcs is au!o da tes nowadays, ut
which Il Judge could preside and rejoice his
soul with the agorAes Of the hrretics.
1t is absurd and Il disgrace to the age i'll
which NC live to make Il judicial oath de-
pend upon the religious faith of any Que, 1t
has been long discovered by those who have
made the subject q study. that the purity of
the witness box and the s;uctty of the oath
III all cases, is preserved by the civil enact
Inrnts providing punislmcnts for perjury.
and tlE! the faith Of men has no effect what
ever. Those who would lie III court would
liz any where, and those who are truthful
outside of court-would never descend to
i'll court. where they are far morc
exposed to detection by counsel than any
where else. Let North Carolina come back
INTO the nineteenth century again--Nem

GOING UP AND COMING DOWN.

GuING uf AMI CVAlN1 OoHN'
This is simple song, tis true,
And songs like those are ne ;cc nice;
And yet we'll try and scatter through
A pinch or two of good advice.
Then listen, pompous friend, and learn
Never to boast of much renown;
For fortunes wheel is on the turn,
And some 90 up and some come down.
We know vast amount Of stocks,
A vast amount of pride insuros
But fate has picked so many locks
We wouldn't like TO warrant yours.
Remember, then, and never spurn
The one whose hand is hard and brown;
For lie is likely to go up,
And You are likely to come down.
Another thing YOU will agree, -.
('rhe truth may be as well contcssrd,)
That goldfish aristocracy
Is but ';scaly" thing al best.
And though the fishes large and strong
May seek the little ones to drown,
Yet fishes all, both great and small,
Arc going up anu coming down.
Our lives are full Of chance and change,
And "chancc," you know, is never sure,
And twcre doctrine new and strange
That places high arc most secure.
And though the tickle god may smile,
And yield the screptre and the crown,
'Tis only for little while;
Then B goes mp and 4 comes down.
This world for you and me, my friend,
Hath something more than pounds and rcnc
Then let us llumbly recommend
A little usc of co%lmon sense;
Thus lay all pride and place aside,
And have care on WHOM you trown,
For fear you'll gee him going up,
When You are only coming down.
