DEATH OF JUDGE JAY.

The New York Eoening Post of the 18th in.
slant brings us the melancholy announcement
of the death of this distinguished philanthropst.
Judge jays writings are distinguished by
purity and vigor of style, clearness of state
ment cogency of argument, and the eloquence
that springs from an ardent devotion to Truth
and Justice. From the beginning, he was an en-.
ergetic, able, and a bold and discreet advocate
of the Anti-Slavery Cause and we doubt
whether the writings of any single man have
contributed SO much to its advancement as
those of Judge Jay. Among the most effective
may be named his Treatise on the Colonization
and Anti-Slavery Societies, his Views of the
Relations and Action of the Federal Govern
ment in regard to Slavery, and his Address to the
Non-Slaveholders of the South-works in which
may be found nearly all the facts and srgu-
ments now familiar in the discussion of the
Question of Slavery.

preston of pious interest in the cause of Kid
mapping, above quoted from the I" Southern
Presbyterian Reoie'o." We would respectfully
suggest to the reviewer the propriety of care
fully studying the sacred records of the Thugs,
from which, doubtless, many fine arguments in
favor of murder and man-stealing may be drawn.
When reading accounts of the horrid rites Of
the Thugs, in which they attempt with appa-
rent seriousness, to consecrste crimes of the
deepest dye, and to clothe in the garb of pious
Offices deeds from which our malefactors would
shrink, we have consoled ourselves with the re-
Election that such things could only take place
in lands stepped for ages in the darkness of
heather superstition; but it seems We were mis-.
taken. In this land of Christian liberty and in
telligence, there are men found who cherish in
their bosoms superstition as guilty and bloody
as that which nerved the hearts of the robber
bands of India.

SHALL WE HAVE CUBA :

If the President and. his Cabinet contem.
plate any schemes of Slavary propagandism,
such as the purchase of Cuba or slice Of
Mexico, they would do well to take time by the
forelock, for, from present Indications it is not
probable shat the Congress which will assem-
BILE in D december, 1859, will be 30 constituted
as to warrant sanguine hopes that it will sane
ton an outlay of one or two hundred millions
of dollars for the purchase of slave territory.
Any appropriation for such purpose must
therefore be made at the approaching session
of Congress, or not at all. The organs of the
Administration INTERESTINGLY take ground in
favor of the acquisition of Cuba at any cost;
and, from their known subserviency to their en-
ployers, it may be taken for granted that their
utterances faithfully unveil the secret purposes
of the President and Cabinet.
The Neso York Herald insists that the next
session of Congress should expressly authorize
the President to purchase Cuba without any
limitation as to the cost, and we shall not be
surprised if such movement is made. The
Herald is known to be one of the Presidents
most thorough going supporters, and generally
the first to reveal official secrets.
If the people are to be saddled with tax of
one or two hundred millions of dollars, in or.
der to increase the price of negroes, and add to
the waning political power of Slavery, they
ought to be made aware of it in advance of the
Presidential election; and We therefore shall
not regret to see the scheme thus boldly avowed.
1t is said to be the last ounce that breaks the
camePs back and it is not impossible that two
hundred millions, added to what the North has
already paid to keep up the market fer negroes,
may weary out Northern patience.
