.F@TnE Rev. Jacob G-(we regret
our correspondent does not give us his
name in fulD was the pastor of church in
Philadelphia many years ago, the leading
members Of it being loyal subjects Of King
George, for whome they had great reverence.
The minister was German, and . stanch
republican. The custom Of praying for
the King had always been maintained in
that church; but the Rev. Jacob c.,
when he was settled there, neglected to re-
member his Majesty in his public prayers.
The leading parishioners met and re-
monstrated with him on his oversight and
desired him to pray for the King on the
following Sunday, which he promised very
readily to do. The next Sunday morn
ing he introduced the following petition into
his service:
so Lord, hear US vile VIC pray for de
King George, and all de kings of de Garth.
Grant dem all keen conviction, sound
conversion, and give dem all short lives and
happy deaths, and take dem all home to
heaven, and let us never have any more
kings vile world stands''
He was excused from praying for the
Kings after that comprehensive prayer.

AS we supposed-and SO expressed our
selves two months ago-wOuld be the case,
majority of the members of both branches
of the Legislature of Kentucky ar. favora-

We congratulate the Democracy of the
whole Union upon this joyous result. In
our minds eye, we perceive no Individual

Guent as to force the most learned to ex--
claim, how beautiful! and so simple that
the most illiterate could understand.
Mr.. Webster would live long in story for
the simplicity of his style of composition if
for nothing else 1t is related that when
his celebrated speech upon Foot's resoiu-
tons was published, he sent a copy Of it to
Davy Crockett. Shortly afterwards Davy
called upon him to make his acknowledg-
ments for the favor-remarking that it was
the only speech that he had ever been
enabled to read without the aid ola diction-
ary. Mr.. Webster, it is said, frequently
remarked, that although, perhaps, a COM
pliment was not intended, none was ever
bestowed upon him that he valued so high

Professor thus took off Prof. Morgan -
"And here, Lord, is brother John Morgan :

BURLINGTON:
FRIDAY MORNING, JULY IS 1859.
A. H. STEPHENS FOR THE SLAVE
TRADE

AUGUSTA, Ga, Sunday, July s.
The ovation to the Hon. A. II. Stephens yes
terday, great affair. Mr.. Stephens made a
speech of two hours length He regarded the
long agitation of the Slavery question as having
resulted benefcially to the rights of the South he
favored the annexation of Cuba, the repeal or sus
pension of the neutrality laws and the increase
of the number of slaves, but repudiated the idea
of more Slave States, unless accompanied with
great increase of the number of slaves.
Hon. A. H. Stephens of Georgia, is gene
rally as little afraid to speak out his mind
plainly, as he is to do anything which will
add strength to the power of shareholders in
this country. Putting the different parts of
his speech together, it is plain enough that
the great increase in the number of slaves"
which he is anxious for, can only be looked
tor from importation, either through a re-
peal of the laws prohibiting the slave trade,
or by the unpunished violation of them. Be
1t noticed that every fire negroes imported
from Africa enables the shareholders to have
three more votes for men who will always
vote against freedom. Moving FIVE negroes
from Virginia to Georgia only changes the
locality of three proslayery votes. Five
brought from Africa makes gain of three
outright. Whether the law against import
ing slaves is repealed or treated as a dead
etter, the effect is about the same. Mr..
Stephens evidently favors one or the other
If these ways of carrying on the slave trade
It would have been alike more manly to be |
ure, if he had stated outright, which; but |
perhaps he thought an open avowal in favor
# re-opening the slave trade would startle
MS Northern allies too much Even so little
shade thrown over the subject will satisfy
hem.

the discussion pleasantly and proftably prolonged
for two hours. One remark made by DR.. Pipeo. is
worthy of notice. We had only one non-profess-
ional friend present, and he contributed largely
to the fun Of the day, by his ready wit and fund of

which he believed to be self-limited, he used very
little medicine, unless the symptoms imperatiyely
demanded it, and. said he. g l have great cont

Julia Bran,h, the strong minded advocate o.

following lines.
Ny little boy lies sleeping Stireless now
Are the bare feet, so quick and restless lately.
And the blue eyes beneath his thoughtful brow
Are closed sedately.
Ole hand lies hid among the locks that float
In careless grace, upon the yielding pillows
The other on his breast rides like boat
On Summer billows.
About the couch, where they his waking bide,
His whilom playthincs lie in rare confusion;
And underneath the shoes he thought to hide
In safe seclusion.
He calmly sleeps. The wiId moans at the door,
Andin the room the frelights' ftful cleaning
Makes pleasant shadows on the crimson floor

New WAY TO COLLECT AN OLD DEBr.-In
Buffalo it appears they have, just at this
time, an institution in the shape of
woman, known as "the knitting lady," who
very day sits knitting in front of the resi-
dence of her debtor on Swan street She has
regular and large audiences, and her tale is
received with the warmest sympathy. And
50 she sits and will sit for ever, until she sees
the color of his money.
And that woman, always knitting, still is sitting,
still is sitting
On the chair she every morning plants before
her debtors door;
And her eyes have all the seeming of female
who is deeming
She VIII give the man steaming
If he does not pay his score;
And he thinks this knitting stockings
Is the Garndest kind of bore.
We think of engaging the services of that
woman, as collector for US There are old
scores enough on our books to keep her knit
ting for a year to come.
