been sentenced to ten years imprisonment in III,

CRUMBS OF CouroRT.-A Southern paper ex

lslanos TO tho Union Eat no distant day" and this
ito swell the area of the civilization Of slavery
The same sagacious Southern also sees in the vista
OF the near future, "the Sandwich Islands as com
pleting the galaxy of slave States"
The propagandists may be permitted to look at
theso cr1mos-through a magnifying glass, II
they Will, as Southey says the Spaninrds do in
eating their cherries but that is all the comfort
they are likely ever to get from such q source.
The admission of Cuba would undoubtedly be
anything but favorable to slavery, and the Sand
wich Islands, if ever acquired, will have to be
free territory.

ANOTHER SLAVE TR1uMrm.-It will be seen by
the resolutions Of the General Conference of the
Methodist Episcopal Church South that they have
voted to expunge the rule furbiJding the buying
and selling of men. And thus the corrupting
influence ct slavery would poison the fountains
OF CHRISTIAN faith, il order to build up its class
interest. Madison would not permit the word
slave IN the Constitution, but these clerical gen
temon are fearful that the rule may be construed
as antagOnistic to the institution Of slavery" and
therefore ought to be expunged. These gen
tletnen will probably next try their hand ut ex-
punSlng passages from the Bible. We believe it
