nS.- Eyorv wor1 in the following arti

boldly stated, stiffiy stuck to- and peril
naciously repeated, seem as powerful as
tie truth itsc!f, and men, who, as journal

liars, appear to have almost as much on
the public mind as editors Of fairness and

when we reflect that the great Father OF
Lies finds the same falschood effective for
his victim even to the thousanith time.
But the text, on which we hang this
little sermon, is found in the following
fact, that several of the leading Southern

fairly stating MIR. Seward position. They
admit, what every man Of sense, who lad
examined the matter, already knew, that
neither in his Rochester speech, nor on

largo fortune, aud, though unoducstod,
possessed Of hard knot sense. Col. W.
bad been elected to the Legislature, and
had also been Judge Of the County Court.
This elevation, however, made him some
pompous, and he became very fond Of use
ing very big words. On bis farm he had
large mi,chcvious OK, called "Big Brinile
OK" which frequently broke down his
neghbors' fences, and committed other
depredations, much to the Colone.'y annoy

One morning after breakfast, in presence
Of some large gentlemen who had staid

their way to town, he called bis oyersecr,
and said to him:
"Mr Allen, desire you to impound
Big Brindc in order that may hear no
more of the au.madycrsions on his eternal

Allen bowel arl walk u out, sorcly
puzzled to know what tho Col meant.
So after Colonel W. left for town, he
went to bis wife and asked her what the
Colonel meant by tellirg him to impouud
tho OK.
"Why," said she, che meant to tel You
to put him iu \ pen"
Allen left to perform the feat, which
was no inconsileable one, as tn, animal

The Ordinance of 1887.
Anti-slavery aeitators have be

Anti-slavery agitators have been
in the habit of talking of the early
policy of the Government as justi-
tying by precedent federal prohibit
ton of the introduction of slavery
into the Territories. They have
generally referred to tie celebrated
ordinance of 1877 in this sense, and
even to southern men it has some
times been stumbling block. But
the force of the argument on the
ground Of precedents is at once de-
stroyed, by the fact that it was pass
I'd before the constitution was adopt.
ed, and was a matter of compact be-
tween Virginia and the confederation
The early policy of the present gov
eminent is denial of the doctrine
of the prohibitionists. All the terri
tories formed soon atler the adoption
Of the Constitution, were left free
from Congressional interference, fol
the introduction of slavery.
The truth Of history is thus vindi
ceted by a northern contemporary:
The ordinance OF 1857 was enact
ed before our political system wal
matured-belore the Constitution
was formed. No such restriction wal
imposed upon the territory Of Ken
lucky, eeded by Virginia in 1884
nor APPLIED when she was admitted
into the Union in 1892. Tennessee
in like manner, was ceded 10y Nortl
CmiIina in 1889, and in 1870 Con
eress erected it into a territory
without interfering with its domestic
institutions. The same thing is tru,
of Alabama and Mississippi. cedet
by Georgia and South Carolina il
1877. The ordinance Of 1857 was
therefore, q law of the Northwestern
territory, but cannot be drawn int
pre- cedent TO any effect which disturb
the principles Of non intervention.
