week or two since, the death of Hon, John X.
Kane, the father of DR.. Kane who rendered him
self immortal by his daring adventures and heroic
conduct 10 the Arctic Exploring Expedition. Since

pure and upright man, and branding him

to the Office of Judge of the United States District
court Of the Eastern district OF Pennsylvania, by
President Polk, to supply the vacancy occasioned
by the Death of Judge Randle, which Office he
held till the day of his death. During the time
in which he held his Office, he was untiring in his
zeal in carrying out the provisions Of the Fugitive
Slave Law; this constitutes the only reason why
he is now subjected to the calumny and reproach
of those who are opposed to every principle Of
justice which secures to the South a full recog.
milton of her rights. However much n mans
faults may subject him to reproach while living
charity at least would hush the tongue of Islander
when numbered with the dead.

MORAL ~SUAsIoN.-The three young women
whom Charles Bodman emancipated in Cincin
natl last week doubtless owe their freedom to the
newspaper exposure of his contemplated and
nearly executed outrage Of consigning them tt
perpetual slavery. He was compelled for very
shame to 90 to Memphis and redeem them from
the hands Of the soul driver to whom he had con
signed them. Says one of our cotemperaries:
"Charles Bodman, of Cincinnati, was recent,
arraigned in the press of that city, for having
sold two female slaves, lef. him BY his uncle, anc
appropriated the proceeds to some local charity

assurances of success; but, after having been re-

that the President now refuses TO appoint him
