Poor jeff Davis took saw,
With patriot devotion;
TO trim the tree Of liberty,
According to hA notion.
he sat himself upon limb,
With impudencc quite kraTlsh:
And cut between the tree aud him,
When down came poor JET Davis.
Poor JEFF Davis broke bis NECK,
Aye, every bone about him;
And then the Tree Of Liberty.
Did very well without him.

The Worth in introducing the extract says :
The rebels have been hoping that Gen.
Scott would die, and the Union cause be
ruined by the loss of his guidance and
mastery ability. The Tribune however
relieves US from all apprehension on this
score by showing that SCorr has five hun

Hay" We have already said that Cooper
wrote very voluminously, and his novels
are published in many different editions
by w. A. Townsend and Company, No
46 Walker Street, New York. Many
works are in themselves complete, and are
political, satirical or as in one instance lie
gal-Thc ways of the Hour-There are
three however, "Satanstoe, "The Chain.
bearer and "The Redskins which are
known as the anti.rent tales aud discuss
that great internal question which convul-
scd New York and nearly led to civil war,
some years ago.
They are therefore deeply interesting,
and they are powerfully written. 1t was
said by distinguished Judge of York
State that "they entitled Cooper to as high
a place in laW as his other works had won
for him in literature" The Publishers
will send catalogue when required, and
any one book can be had on receipt of the
price, Of those running in sets however,
of course one requires all, and the legal,
political and social bearing of the question
are all ably and thoroughly discussed.

ss5' Surely, there should be no room for
misconception here. Either we are for the
Constitution or against it? We either pro-
pose to break slavery up in the States, or
letit alone, where the Constitution protects
it. We may think about slavery as our
convictions lead us but our duty in re-
gard to interfering with it is quite another
thing. And if our duty docs not require
US to interfere with it, we should not med
die at all with fact existing under the
laws and guarded by the laws. If we do,
our assault is not upon slavery, but upon
the Constitution of the country; and it is
the force of this irresistible logic which
compels Mr. Garrison and his followers to
make it the fundamental doctrine of their
anti slavery crusade, that the Constitution
is Gan agreement with death, covenant
with hell !n

young chickens, it is necessary to keep
them in coops raised some inches from the

A correspondent says the last time he tried

cooping them away from the ground until

Without attempting to force any of the door,

As none OF the records in the removed criminal
eases from the city for the ensuing term were vel
brought out they were not destroyed. But the
loss to the country can not be estimated, only few
OF the important papers and books being saved and
they damaged to a certain extent.
1t was evidently the design Of the guilty. party
to merely destroy the records in the Clerks ofcs
and not the building, for etiecting ais entrance
through the outer door he had full access 20 the
courtroom, which is not ire-proof Had that been
burned the entire building would necessarily have
been in ashes.
The little furniture and papers which were moi
consumed in Mr. Carmans office were saved by the
citizens, who, by means Of buckets of water, ex
tinguished the flames. No other part of the build
ing was injured. 1t was erected in 1855, and cost
some $4,000 The damage to the building is GOV

examination was made, and it was discovered that
