Notification ThWa arted.

The Legislature OF New York has had
the good sense to defeat the Person
al Liberty Bill, result accomplished by
the firm opposition of the Democratic mi
nority. The Pennsylvania House of Rep
resontatives did not proceed to the con-
sideration of the nullhcution bill pending
in that body on Wednesday night in ac-
cordance with the special order, but laid
it aside for more rational business. We
rather regret this, because we would like
to have this matter brought to the test,
and see how many Republican members
are willing to vote against the laws and
Constitution. We suppose, however, that
they will take care to avoid test vote.
In regard to the defeat of similar bill
in the New York Legislature, the Journal
Of Commerce, remarks
"The Legislature ofNew York have done
one good thing. and we will give them
the credit of it; that is. so many of them
as assisted in the enterprise, we mean,
the strangling of the Notification Bill,
called by its friends the Personal Liberty
Bill; the design of which was, to nullify a
law Of Congress, enacted TO carry out a
solemn stipulation Of the National Com
pact. Every Democratic vote, we are
proud to say, was given against the bill,
and also 2I votes by Republicans and A.
mericans: thus making up sufficient
number to save our State from the disgrace
which was impending over it. But still il
is TO be remembered, that large majority
of the Republicans went for the bill, and
that il would have passed into law, had
it not been manfully resisted 10y the small
number of Democrats elected to the As
sembly." 4l . ...

The REMOVAL OF THE COUNTY SEAT
This question came up in the lower House
of the Legislature on last Wednesday and
by an almost unanimous vote the House
refused to pass it to second reading
This virtually disposes Of it for this ses-
sion, as it will not likely be called up
again before the adjournment, which takes
place tomorrow. SO terminates for the
present the effort to remove the county
seat, and if the reception it received when
il came first before the House is any indio
cation of what it will meet with in the
future, it will scarcely be worth W lille to
ever agitate it again.

LOOKING AHEAD.-The Boston Traveller

now evidently sees the defeat of sectional-
ism in 1860. 1t admits that the demo-
Gratis "are sensible men," and adds:
at is one of the felicities of the demo-
cratic party that it generally gets beaten
at the right time, and becomes wise under
the rod. 1t has vast vitality, and it is
so hard to kill that its destruction is one
of those things that are never thought to
be possible.

A SOUTHERN SlGmT.-Last Sabbath after
noon we went to the basement room Of
the PRESBYTERIAN Church, where we found
about twenty ladies and gentlemen engag-
cd in teaching about two hundred and
fifty negroes (mostly youth and children
the catechism, reading and eXpounding
the Bible and learning them sacred songs.
As we looked upon the interesting specta-
Gle we wondered if Greely, GiddingS, or
Garrison, had ever condescendod to meet
with the Africans they profess to love 50
much, and point them to the Lamb of
God which talk ,th away the sins of the
world ?'-AhrD& Ga.) Banner.
And yet there are people in the north
silly and preudiced enough to believe that
the people of the south, refuse either to
teach ;her negroes to read or permit them
to be taught. But this is no worse than
many other unfoundod prciudices enter
tanned north OF Mason K Dxon's Line
against the people south of it.

bell,) was born in Glasgow, Oct. 20, 1892. His

that young Colin M'Liver obtained his first

Poets and Poetry of the Newspapers.
Doubtless it never occurs to the young gem
tleman or lady, as the case may be, who favors
the editor of the nearest public journal with a
sheet or two Of his or her verses-by courtesy
poetry-for publication in his able, interesting
and widely circulated paper, that the editor
aforesaid has anything to do but to sit down
deliberately, and, calling to his counsel the
Christian virtues of Faith, Hope and Charity,
examine, approve and insert the same, unaf-
footed by any extraneous consideration. There
could not possibly be a greater mistake. If
our poctical young friends of the masculine or
feminine gender, could call to his or her assist
ance some lame Devil or potent Mephistopheles,
who could uncaF the dwellings of our parish,
and lay open the secrets of their inner cham
bers, he or she would discover goodly number
of other people of both sexes and literary pro-
pensites, each laboring away with might and
grace and variety to the columns of the said
able interesting and widely circulated paper,
and each having precisely the same notions
upon the subject of their rights and our duties
with themselves. The editor is, in fact, res
ervoir, into which some dozen Of springs are
incontinently pouring-with several dozens
more ready to discharge upon the slightest en-
couragement--and with but one poor outlet
