CELEBRATION OF THE LITERARY SOCIETIES.

CELEBRATION OF THE LITERARY SOCIETIES.
The Church was densely crowded Tuesday
afternoon, with an intelligent and cultivated
audience. Messrs II. E. BARNARD, Presi-
dent of the Phi Sigma M, and A. c. BAL
LARD, President of the Institute, with the
Orator and Poet, and Rev JOSHUA YOUNG,
Chaplain of the occasion, occupied chairs
upon the stage. Rev Mr.. Young offered
prayer, which, after Music, was followed by

The Habeas Corpus.

Tho argument of Judge SPALDING on
the application to the Supreme Court for
a writ Of HABEAs CORPUS in behalf of the
Oberlin rescuers, turned-accordin to
the report of the Ohio State Journal
upon the idea that Congress has no more
power to enact law for the arrest and
return Of fugitive slaves than for the ar-
rest and return of a runaway horse"
Judge SPALDING engaged in the somewhat
perilous undertaking of expounding the
Constitution by the real or supposed no
tions of its trainers; and contended "that
the reclamation clause in that instrument
was understood then-at its creation
and ought to be understood now, not as
comforting on Congress power to enact
fugitive-slave laws, but simply as a COM
pact between the States that they would
not exercise their sovereign power to pre-
vent the reclamation of fugitives from
service"
The question of cotemporary under
standing is one of fact, and not of con-
struction. 1t is one that Courts seldom
act upon to the extent to change fixed
practice, or do away with an established
precedent, and the argument of Judge
SPALDING looks quite as much like an
excuse for the want, as presentation of
substantial grounds for the action that
was prayed. 1t is questionable whether,
under such proceeding, the Courts of
Ohio would assume to determine the
question of the constitutionality of a law
of the United States, thereby placing
themselves in the attitude of reviewing
the decisions of the national tribunal-a
thing certainly not contemplated under
our form of government 1t is not pleas
ant to see these warm-hearted, and, it is
not to be doubted, truly conscientious
gentlemen, exposed to the heavy and
neutrality-suspicious. penalties provi-
ded by the law under whose censure they
have fallen; but the question whether
they have done a comparatively innocent
act is one thing, and whether they have
exposed themselves to punishment at the
hands of the ministers of the law, is an
othar

WooD's THEATER.--To-night, at this estab-
lishment, the Martinetti and Blondin Troupe
appear in their astonishing evolutions on the
tight-rope, beautiful ballet, and in the comic
pantomime Of Vol-au-pent. If merit has any
magnetic power whatever, the house will be
crowded to its utmost capacity.

statements, SO that the people may not
only vote upon tARSdea, but know when
they give their votes upon which side the
weight will fall-whether for or against
their own views of right in the premises.
The difficulty in the way of the adoption
of such course is, that it would not suit
the views of the leaders of either party.
In truth, there would be no controversy
for take away personal interests, un-
founded prejudices, and sectional rival
ries, and present the naked question of
popular sovereignty to the sober sense of
the people, and they would-with perhaps
the exception of few ecclesiastics and
few old fogies, whose want of confidence
in humanity is inborn and irradicable-
be all upon one side.
Yet, how the desirable harmony, even
in the elements Of one section, is to be
secured, it is not so easy to conjecture.
The leading difficulty in the way is one
that will, perhaps, be source of amuse-
ment to some logical antiquary, who, in
after ages, shall interest himself in the
historical trivia of the nineteenth CEN
tury. Each party-taking the average
sentiment of its leading presses and ora
tors as the rule-vehemently affirms one
side and as vehemently denies the other
side ofthe same proposition. Congressmay
interpose to protect, but may not interpose
to prohibit slavery, says Mr.. JEFFERSON
DAVIS and the South. Congress may in
terpose to prohibit, but not to protect
slavery, says Mr.. SEWARD and the North.
If Congress may interpose to do the one,
it may also interpose to do the other, says
the common consciousness of mankind.
The positions Of both, taken as a whole,
are against reason, and therefore consti-
tute no elements of cohesion Leaders
cabal and contrive, but without effect
Their policy is rope of sand. They
shout HARMONY to the deaf paint the
dangers of the present condition to minds
in a state of total Indifference, and have
to console themselves in their troubles
with the poor reflection, that the other
party is in the same state of anarchy
with their own.

About Party Harmony.

The movements, plans, consultations
and policy Of the leaders of both the po-
litical parties-if parties they may be
called-in the United States at this time
are all with reference to the Presidential
canvass of 1860 and all obviously have,
as preliminary to other operations, one
end in view-HARMoNY. If not directly
affirmed, it is virtually confessed that
both the administration and the opposi-
ton are sadly-and sometimes, it would
seem, almost hopelessly-out of tune.
With causes of intestine discord in both
the camps, the party lines are little more
than nominal Not only do the margins
of the two overlap and intersect each
other, but the very centers, in doctrinal
point of view, are becoming so con-
founded that it is often not little diff
cult to determine which is the one and
which the other SLAVERY is, of course,
the everlasting subject of discussion; and
the question upon both sides is precisely
the same; What shall we affirm that u
majority Of the people of States enough
to elect the President will be likely to
receive as a sufficient motive to direct the
bestowal of their suffrages, on the day of
the electionP We give the greater part
of the leaders aforesaid credit for feelings
Of entire indifference as to the doctrines
to be presented. The question with
them-as it is with the propristors of a
popular place of amusement-is not what
is intrinsically good, but what will
draw" WANTED, code of principles
that will hold until the day after the next
canvass; for the discovery and delivery of
which, the inventor will be literally re-
warded.
Whatever may be the issue in words
and written professions, made up in party
platforms, and expounded upon stumps
and in the columns of newspapers,
enough may be seen Of the popular mind
to determine that the idea voted upon by
the masses will be something connected
with popular sovereignty. This should
determine-but probably will not-the
action of the leaders: a bodyo men whose
title to their places usually consists in the
fact that they have the most assurance
and the least sagacity. True wisdom
would dictate that direct proposition,
embodying the principles of popular
government, should be presented in n
form capable of affirmative and negative

Ornamental Painting. - MIR. III. p.
HOPKINS, skillful painter from Cleveland,
has opened a shop, for the practice Of house
and sign painting, in the Mechanics Exhibi-
ton Building, on Vine, above Fourth street.
We have known Mr.. HOPKINS for a number of
years, and are prepared to state that his repu-
tation as an artist and gentleman, in Northern
Ohio, is most enviable one. The Cleveland
Leader, in noticing his departure from the
Forest City, speaks of his popularity, and
warmly commends him to the citizens of Gin
cinnati. He has chosen central location, and
is prepared to do large business. His corps
of wOrkmen will be composed of such only as
can do the very best work.
Valuable Preparation for the HAIR
We presume that any commendation of BUR-
NETT's COCAINE is superauous. Probably no
article, of similar character, has ever at
tanned SO widespread and favorable a reputa-
ton, in the same space of time, as has this
compound of Cocoa-Nut Oil and other desira-
BILE articles. The proprietors have hundreds of
letters in their scrap-book testfying to the eff
cacy of this preparation; but the we'll known
reputation Of the proprietors is sufficient guar

timony that one Of the most useful articles in

APIea for the AiIanthus.

Of all trees on this Western Continent the Allan
thus hiss about the worst character. The Philsdel-
phs Bulletin nanfully volunteers to act as counsel
for the accused. With IN ost adroit candor it first
admits that the tree may have some few objection
able points. II says: 'Some object to it's odor.

scent is said to produce the sensitive; others

aud msny hate 1t because it is cheap and common"
But, it is added, the tree has considerable merits it
makes good timber in minimum of time. It hath
mission better than to shGde streets or bear fruit
for the market. Thus continues the Bulletin
"Now, the silanthus grows with such extraordina-

The American College. at Rome.

Under the direction Of the Propaganda works are
going on with great activity in the Convent of the
Umilts, in Rome, to prepare it for a college. The
great building (situate at the foot of the Quirinsl
toward the COrsO) has been baught for S4S, 900,
and is destined a college for North American and
ecclesiastical students. The Bishops of the United
States, who are about fifty in number, have recent
y sent thirty Thousand dollars to the Pope for the
necessary works; and before the end of this year
the place will be arranged, and will be able to re-
ceive one hundred students Tae French College
has lately rebuilt the Church at st. Chiars, and by
the ride of it large establishment contains sixty
students. Spain has begun works for national

lege opened last year with thirty-fye Students
