leans theology, answering the same purpose,

the nature Of animal magnetism; or fas-

We look upon theological investigation as
the only way TO settle this vexed question
on principles Of eternal truth, and have en-.
deavored TO induce our religious cotempo

Ke.tucky seces.isn Literature.

We have received, with a request to pub
lish, q letter by A. Williamson, Postmaster
at Cynthiana, KY, printed in the Louisville
Courier, advocating the immediate Secession
of Kentucky. We believe, with Mr.. Will
hanson, that Northern sentiment is uu-
changed on slavery, and that there is no
prospect of sny radical change in the Con-
sti,utiou, and that if Kentucky can not
stand this, sue had better not stand on the
order of her going, but go at once. We
also believe with him that the Union is a
miserable failure, not worth powder to blow
it Up; and we will give Kentucky our bless
ing when she goes; but why should we be
asked to publish a letter, over a column long,
to kick a thing which has already ALLEN to
pieces from its own rottenDess2 We have q
high respect for our Postmaster friends
doctrine, and we believe that he has the
strongest proyocation to secede with the
Cyutbiana Postofice, before he has to do il
without; but it is hardly necessary for us to
20 to the expense Of heating such a very
loHg Joker TO FIRE the Kentucky heart.

Roruer Falaas Out

In Texas they nave q revolution within a
revelation; Secession within Secession, and
dog eating dog, The Secession Convention
refused TO stop when it had passed the ordi-
nance OF Secession, but claimed that the
State Government was set aside also, and
that they were the Government. Governor
Houston refuses to recognize this, aud to
give Up his authority, and the Secretary OF
State joins him. There is some ak of
Houston raising troops and fighting it out
but bis ancient reputation for want of pluck,
does rot promise such a blessing to society.
Some New York papers urge that the
United States troops should not be with
drawn from Texas, as they may be wanted
to take part in such a contest. We hope,
however, if the fight begins, that the Gov.
m will view it with the utmost i'm
partially; and if it should terminate like
the contest of the Kilkenny cats, civilization
would be vastly the gamer by it.

More Cancellation

A ship-load of supplies for the United
States Leet in the Gull has been seized at
Mobile. This is another stroke Of c~oncilia
tiop, tending TO a restoration of the Union.
AT the rate things are going on, we shall
soon have the COnfederates coneiliated, and
frateInal feeling restored. The more seiz.
urts of Government property, the more
Cancellation. Let more ship loads of pro-
visions be sent into Confederate ports at
once, TO be seized, as olive branches. Let
there be no resistance nor retaliation. 1t
would spoil the effect, fire the Southern
heart, and make reconstruction impossible.
In the stress Of argument with the Dey of
AigieIs, President John Adams stoutly as
serted that this was not q Christian nation.
We have amended that. Nobody can doubt
Q Christian practice now. Do we not,
when the Confederates smite us on one
check, u the other; and when they seize
our forts, do we not give them others, and
send them a ship-load of provisions also 2
Certainly, we have now established a Chris
tan character as a nation and if we only
let them ieize what property the Govern
ment has, and then the Government itself,

tnguIar Sutt OF N SorVnot AgaiuBt n O0unI.
A rather singular suit, says the Paris cor
respondent of the New Orleans Delta, was
brought before the civil tribunal a few days
ago. A man servant, discharged by his mas
ter, the Count de NJ, demanded, as is Gus.
tomary, a written certificate. The Count at
first refused compliance, but finally gave the
servant q document containing the fOllo loving
lines:
81 hereby certify that Louis - has
been employed as a domestic in my service
from December 3, 1860, to January %, 1861"
The valet refused to accept such a certi6.
cate, and demanded one conceived in terms
of laudstion or disspprobatioD, as The Count
might choose. The Count declined, and the
servant caused a summons to be served upon
his former msster to appear before tue Juge
dc poiz of the reimbursement. The Count
failed TO appear, and the judge condemned
him, by default, to furnish the required GER
%tificate.
Thus admonished by the law, the eccentric
gentleman delivered the following;
81 hereby certify that Louis - was
employ ed in my service from December 8,
1860, TO January 20, 1861. During that
period | was deffsuded and pluudered, but |

the ipsolence, not TO mention the notorious
kpavery, of white servants, in the latitude OF
Paris.

Let other Governments sneer at the i'm

Prof T. S. G. Lowe, the aronaut, is in this
city with a view, in the course of two or
three weeks, of making an Brial voyage
from here to the Atlantic Coast. The object
Of the voyage is experimental: to demon
stTate the existence Of a constant easterly
current in the upper regions Of the a.mos-
pherc-R conviction Of which is the founda-
tion Of bis great, projected enterprise Of
crossing the Atlantic in a balloon. In the
prosecution of these experiments, Prof
Lowe BIAS made a large number of voyages;
and it is rather to the end to convince others
than to confirm himself that the present one
10 has been undertaken.
Prof Lowe speaks of his Atlantic voyage
~ a thing that is absolutely determined
upon nor does he express any feeling OF
doubt of its success. This confidence is ev-
idently the result ola thorough scientific ex-
animation Of the subject in all its aspects and
branches. Prof Low is an enthusiast bui

Volume XIV. Being Volume V Of the
Literary and Professional Works. Bos.
ton: Brown & Taggard. Cincinnati A:
Vent, Starr & Co.
The present volume closes the series of the
literary and professional works of the great
English jurist and philosopher. The matter
which it contains being discourses and ar
guments upon questions which have ceased
TO be of interest, or institutions that have
gone out Of existence, is of little importance
except TO the legal %antiquary. The value Of
the volume consists principally 10 the very
full and complete index of the matter con-
tanned in the series; a thing of no little i'm
~portance, and which it is the too frequent
practice Of American publishers to overlook
We have heretofore alluded to the chastt
ard elegant style in which these volumes
are produced.
