poiI tment Of public administrator IN each
county and city in the State legalizing pro-
ceedngs on Sunday in certain cases and sun
dry acts of incorporation for Banks. A reso-
olution was offered for repeating so much of
the la as imposes penalties upon Sheri!is for
failing to pay into the Treasury moneys re-
ceived by them for the State. A number OF
local bills were passed-among them, one in
creasing the number of basement Clerks in the

English Integrity.

We heard IL lately remarked that, not
wifhrt,n,i;nv tho intense abolitionisiA of Eng-
land. there can he no doubt that II, like the
Northern States. she had ever PROMISED 10
restore fugitive slaves, she would iuihii that
promise. no matter how CALLING 1t might DE 70
her own r,reiudices and passions. This remark
was made In a large circle Of gentlemen, almost
every one Of whom, by the way, haa 'ost
slave Nor can there be any doubt OF its
,ruth. Aholitionism would probably prevent
ENGLAND from ever entering into any such
engagements, but her engagements, once
made. whether political or commercial. are
faithfully regarded This is a great conpli-
ment to England, but it is well deserved. -
Every one knows how much more faithfully
every kind Of work Is done by English manu-
facturers than by those of New England, from
the massive engine of a steamship down to IA
pen knife. The English article is always
what il processes TO be; the New England,
hardly ever. In their social intercourse the
English people are generally more reserved
and less demons;ratiye than those OF our own
country, bat, what they say, rs n general
thing, can be relied on The woful absence of
truthfulnsss is one Of the most striking and
ominous characteristics of the Puritan race
But forthis radical de:ee oil charac bel, ii would
be utterly mpos sibie for whole communities
TO sanction deliberately such violations of the
Constitutional compact Is those which have
occurred in New England communities, and
which they have never dreamed of redressing
till their money nerve was touched, and the
path to their conscience was found through
their pockets. Ii justice can be done now in
those States which are now promising TO per-
form their constitutional obligations, why
was il not done long ago, and how long will it
continue to be done after their nteres is are
no longer III danger, We must do the mother
country the justice to say that while she is
wofully bedeyilled by anti slavery fanaticism,
she adheres to her contracts with IL true Eng
lish stamina Of principle that we should like
to soc adopted in this bodstful Republic, which
claims TO be- the best and purest OF all nations.
