THE PILOT ON THE TRACT SOCIETY

1t is human natures privilege to delight in
making sharp retort and this delight is new
er keener than when the retort is used to re-
pei some strong charge of inferiorty in right
eousness. The Boston Pilot we notice. is not
quite free from this characteristic of human
nature. In mood that is almost musical
with serene satisfaction, that paper discusses
the American Tract Society. Protestants are
apt to be very confident that the Catholic
Church is no better than it should be and II
is nowise surprising that the Pilot. as n good
Catholic, should hasten to make the most of
an opportunity to show Protestants the evil of
their ways. Our Catholic friend ev;don,l,,
holds the opinion that the Tract Society ia No.

QUITE ROYAL AND VERY BAsE.-Oueen
Victoria has put her court in mourning for
that loathsome monster, the late King of Ma

in the case; but the mourning is on the ground
of that assumed brotherhood of the ROYAL
families of Europe, which operates like per-
petual conspiracy against the welfare of man.

brutalities of that King of Naples were

drew its representative from his court. and re-.
fused to hold intercourse with him. Yet. at
his death, the royal family of England insults
mankind, and illustrates the characteristic stu
pidity OF royalty, by putting on mourning for
him. An English journal expresses the pub-
lie estimate of this mourning, as follows =
'1f the wearing of mourning signifies any,
thlng, 1t slgnliies more or less of regard for
the person whose loss is thus commemorated
and regard is what no Englishrnan owes 10 the
memory of the late King of Naples. II Il n
scandal and disgrace that the English Court
should stultify the unanimous feeling of the
English nation by professions Of regret for the
jailer and torturer of Poerio and his unhappy
comrades, the lawless opprcssor of Watt and

tional liberty, the insolent defer of Brit

prove that his death is no more sub.

THE CASE OF PLUMER.-The brief reprieve
man now lying under sentence of death in
Boston, and the terrible decision with which
all further hope is denied, have awakened a
general and profound sympathy in his behalf
1t Is stated that the confession of William
Herbert, now in the State Prison, for his part
in the mutny, made since the trial of Plumer,
and disclosing facts which tend to palliate
his guilt for the crime of which he has
been convicted, was allowed no weight by the
President because, coming from convict, it
was not legal evidence. 1t is difficult to be-
heve that any man among us, holding in bis
own hands the life of fellow being could re-
fuse to listen to evidence, which, if false, could
be easily refuted, and if true, would make the
sacrifice most blood thirsty and guilty muir
der. Among those who are most active to se-
cure the communication of Plumer's sentence, or
at least reprieve long enough to establish
the truth or falsity of representations made
since his conviction, are some of the jury by
whom he was tried and many estimable gem
tlemen, whose opinions of his guilt have been
modified by developments which are daily
coming to light. They have represented,
without effect, that the mutiny was not con-
ceived by Plumer, that it is not certain
.-vH,rorIe OF Cap.ar N1eIen was COM
mitted by his hand that he was drawn
into the plot by those whom the government
used as witnesses against him, and then
suffered to escape, and that after the mutiny
he used his influence and power in a re-
straining and salutary manner, all of which
they thought might be established, if time
were allowed to procure evidence from Aus
tralia having important bearing upon the case
The only answer was given in that merciless
formula-the law must take its course. Ear
nest efforts are still being made by the friends
of Plumer to secure longer reprieve Society
makes no demand for blood, when the appeals
of mercy, as in this case, seem to be seconded
by the demands of justice.

HE POISONING CASE IN WooNsoCKET.-
We alluded briefly ON Monday to the sudden
and mysterious death of DR.. Tyler Briggs of
Woonsocket,as it was supposed from the effects
of poison. The jury of inquest have been en-
gagged the entire week in investigating the
cause and motive of this tragedy, but without
arriving at a satisfactory result. Mrs. Briggs,
and son, who were taken violently ill at the
same time, and whose recovery was for time
doubtful are now convalescent. The Woonsock-
ct Patriot considers it established that large
quantities of arsenic had been, in some man
ner, unknown to the family, mixed with some
parched corn, of which they ate on the day
they were attacked.
The corn had been popped some two months
or more, and had been standing, uncovered, in
the closet during that time, and was not ground
until Wednesday, the day before the family
were taken sick; and on which day several
members of the family ate of it, without exper-
iencing any ill effects. After they had partak-
en- of the corn on Wednesday, it appears to
have been placed in the closet, on an upper
shelf, in the bowl into which it had been
ground. When taken down the next day.
Thursday it was found in two dishes, small
portion of it still in the bowl, but the greater
part of it in cup. The son went into the
closet, and ate of it. Thursday morning, the
cup and bowl were both there, and that he ate
out of the cup, which was nearly full and did
not eat out of the bowl. All those that were
poisoned, ate principally, if not wholly, out of
the cup. Every member of the family
have been questioned on this point but all
say they cannot explain how the corn got
from the bowl into the cup The conclusion
seems to be inevitable, that the arsenic was
mixed in the corn contained in the cup.
The whole community is in a state of deep
agitation, and there is little hope that the veil
which envelopes the dark mystery will ever
be raised.

men from venturing to maintain that tins tfaiilc
in blacks is permitted under any pretext or
color whatever" that paper concludes with the
following moral reflection :
"The readers of the Pilot know very well
that we cannot be accused of entertaining any
sympathy with political negrophilism. We
have always deprecated the sectional spirit,
and stood by the constitution and laws of our
country. But we have not, in our efforts to
stand upright, gone SO far as to lean over back
wards, and advocate slavery. In regard to
the slave trade, we hope that we shall never
sink SO low as to try to disguise the fact of its
being sin against God and crime in the
sight of the laws of all civilized nations. As
for the christians" who took an active part in
procuring the defeat of the resolutions we have
quoted, in the late meetings of the Tract So
ciety, as well as those who mutely acquiesced
in such betrayal of religion and morality-it
would be a misuse of language, and would
SAVIOR of the grossest kind of fiattery, to call
them anything but hypocrites and towards"
We are not disposed to quarrel with this
judgement; and we know great many Prot
estants who would never dispute with the Pi-
lot if it should never say anything more un-
just or more contrary to the spirit of Christian
civilization. 1t may be retorted, that the Pilot
upholds the fugitive slave act and the internal
slave trade, that its political influence is al
ways given to the slave power in this coun-
try, and that in this case its commendable
criticism means much more evil to delinquent
Protestants than to slavery itself. Yet all this
cannot affect the justice of its censure. Its
words will be just as true, and just as appli-
able to those who deserve them, as if the Pilot
itself were the most sanity and selfsacrifcing
opposer of slavery in all the land.

For the purpose of removing a temptation to
the members of such convention to act
through the Winter upon the pleasant task of
making a new Constitution, the amendment
was suggested, that they should serve without
pay. 1t was, however, strongly opposed, and
rejected. 1t was also proposed to limit the con-
vention to twenty five days-a measure which
was also defeated. The bill awaits the con-

that Mr.. Hunter, instead of Gov. Wise, is the
choice of the State, they intend that Mr.. Hun

unite to give it to him And we have receiv-
ed the assurance, from quarter well entitled
