bat little praise, when met by the great orator

feelings aud sympathies, but the great p. ID.
appeals to his would be common sense. Now,
sir, as Mr.. Hartman has taken the pains 10 give
(as he says) every minutia Of the affair, will
add that we did not say that charges which he
represented were not made, but do say, that
notwithstanding her charges, which the great
p. ID. boasts OF as being true and fair, they we're
repulsed by the consistOry, and after fair
and just consideration, Mr.. Bsins stepped forth
an bonorably discharged man. This is ssseHted
to by good and honorable citizens Aud for
the benefe Of my readers ! will state that that
consistory was composed Of men VI good
standing, and capable of judging right from
wrong; not men who pry and seek into the bust.

some small Insignificant affair to haul against

which has transpired lately, in which you could

&c The N. Y, ReraIdsays Bishop OSDER-
DoNK having had the doors of the Honse of
Bishops slammed in his face, has decided up
on a novel mode of redressing his grievances
and clearing his ecclesiastical character.
Acting under the advice of distinguished
member of Congress- and prominent lawyer
be has resolved to bring legal action to re-
cover damages which he has sustained
through the deprivation of his Office, and it's
immunities, privileges and perqnisites. In
fact, the House of Bishops, having resolved
TO leave their erring brother in bis sins, he
intends to appeal to the secular power to set
him right pecuniarily. Bishop ONDERDoNK's
case is something like that of woman who,
having lost her reputation through misplaced
confidence in a marriage promise, brings an
action at law against her betrayer. She
cannot recover her lost honor, but she can
obtain salve for it in the shape of a round
sum of money. So, Bishop ONDERDoNK,
Icing shut out of the Kingdom of Heaven
that is, 80 far as the House Of Bishops can
do it-resolves to obtain the next best thing,
at least in the wicked worlds view, in suing
for swinging damages. The cause will be
one of the most novel and entertaining ac-
tions that has ever been tried anywhere, and
will furnish more food for the scandal mon
gers.

THE MAN OF THE TIME.-It cannot have
escaped the notice of the least obserant~ Of
those who have scanned, with any considera-
BILE attention, the expressions of public SEN
timent az they have come up from different
parts of the Union, that, amidst the various
reflections to which the instruction in Viz
GINA gave rise, not the least prominent is
that of gratitude as we'll graduation that
the powers conferred by the Constitution on
the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES are in
the hands of wise. experienced, and faith
full statesman. The promptitude of decision,
the vigorous measures. the deliberate and
moderate tone of President Buchanan are
recognised even by bis opponents 1t is,
indeed, universally felt by all excerpt those
who are blinded by psriisanship and passion,
that The principles of the Constitution of the
United States, and those OF the constitutions
of the majority of the several States of the
Union-THE STABILITY OF OUR FEDERAL Gov
ERNxENT IrsEIF-would have been endanger-
ed had republican President been at the
head of the Nation; and that thy were safe
when entrusted 10 the guardianship OF james
Buchanan.
The above is from the pen of the ''court-
fool' who has charge of the Constitution, the
Federal organ of the President The idea
that the stability of our Federal Govern
ment' would shave been endangered by
the Harper's Ferry esnelae, chad a republican
President been at the head of the Nation"
is the very acme of absurdity. If the Con-
stitutiOn desires no better employment than
fawning upon the head of the government, let
it have its choice; but don't, for the love of
truth, inculcate the idea that silly, hair
Drained plot like that of the rufian BRowN,
though backed by republican President,
could endanger the Government. Why, man.
there are not republicans enough. in the
whole county, to save their President his
head twenty-four hours, in such an event.

Es- The n. Y. Tribune says Secretary
CoBB has undertaken to unite the Democratic
members OF the Federal House Of Represcn-
tatiyes upon Hon. JONI HILL, OF Ga, for
Speaker. Mr.. Hill is member of the OPP
position party, every way qualified for the
office, and Mr.. CoBB, if really engaged in the
undertaking ascribed to him, exhibits good
taste in the selection. We suspect, however.
that the Tribune is over informed The De-
mocracy are in a minority in the House, aud
are, therefore. unable to elect u Speaker
from their own ranks. They would as soon
see ''old Nick himself in the Chair as a
Conservative Oppositionist from the South
. Republican would suit them much better.
They gave ample proof Of this when they
permitted BANKS to go in under the plurality
rule. They wast something TO turn up TO
add to their stock in trade; and we may.
therefore, look TO repetition Of their game of
1855.

the invaders after they came into Virginia,

nineteen escaped; not slave escaped or at

few carried off by Cook across the river, all
escaped from him and came safely back but
one. who. 1T appears. was drowned while
crossing the river homeward bound.
