The Pro-Savery newspapers are beginning to
make clamor for the repeal of the Personal Lib
erty act Of 1855, in order to pacfy South Carolina.
There is no probability shat the repeal would satisfy
that State or make her in any degree more reason
able. But if it would, she cannot be accomnO-
dated in this way. The law of 1855 will remain on
our statute book until it is declared unconstitutional
by our own Supreme Court; or, if by any accident
q Legislature should be elected which would repeal
il, it would be restored or replaced by one more
offensive to shareholders and Pro-Slavery men. The
law is believed to be in strict accordance
with the requirements of the Constitution
of the United States. 1t has never been
adudicated upon except in one instance. Chief
Justice Allen, in the Barnstable kidnapping case
held that il was q valid law, at least for the pur-
poses of that trial have seen an able and elabOr-
ate essay from the pen of former Justice Of the
Superior Court, who stands much higher In the
esteem of legal men than Mr.. Geo. L. Curtis, Mr.
Geo. S. IIilarG, or Mr.. Geo. Lunt, showing the
entire conformity of this act to the United States
Constitution Beside matters would not be
nlended for the shareholders by its repeal. The
people of this State are against slaye-catchng, and
it is proyerbialy difficult to enforce laws which are
contrary 10 the Of justice of the whole people
OF any country or State.
The neat expedient by which Mr. Kelly of your

to him, was initiated at the late election in this
State by Mr.. Leverett SaltOnsall, the opponent OF

was gratiied TO hear, the other day. that some
Of the farmers in the neghborbood of North Brook
field had in some degree got paid for the hazards and
losses attending the cattle panic of last Spring. Six
teen head of cattle belonging to Mr. Cheyerys herd,
which had been isolated for several months, were
slaughtered BY order of the commissioners, and
were found to be perfectly healthy, and never to
have been diseased. The law required them to be
buried but the "higher law" Of common sense
prevailed and the beef barrels of the neghbOrhOod
are better off for it.

hundred letters never yet seen by any writer, from
Bacon 10 his mother, TO his brother Anthony to Sir
Robert Cecil, and many others; from Lady Bacon,
