Gov. Dennison Of Ohio has announc-
ed new doctrine with reference to the de-
\ livery Of persons charged with crime in the
state from which they hayehed. He holds
that the crime will which they are charged,
must not only be punishable offence IN

them up. Thus he has refused the demand

exception to the rule. "The greater IN
cludes the less.n This is the axiom which

I Read his DELEGATIONS, aud see. Pope's
letters are admirable compositions. Addi-

epistles to his friends are as fluent and nat
ural as his ballads and songs. Coleridge,
lSouthey, Moore and Byron are no except
lions to the rule Indeed. Byron's prose

\ his genius as completely as "Childe Harold
