The Northern Democracy have been 40

Justice, aud that their brethren Of the
Union. who happen to possess property in
slave labor, are to be deprived Of their
rights because northern fanaticism de

cannot long exist. If such n state Of senti-

was light-the cases on the State docket
we're numerous. but none were tried of
sufficient importance to be- reported.
The officers Of the Court, from the
Judge down. discharged their respective
duties in a manner to merit the approval
Of all good citizens, and promote the ends
Of public justice. Judge Hancock, as
usual, preserved the dignity Of the bench.

law against those convicted Of it, viola

not likely to suffer in his keeping Mr..

which accounts, in a very great measure
