ANOTHER PUNISH
ED.

The vigorous and honest administration
of President Lincoln has struck another
powerful blow at the slave trade Appleton
Cakes Smith, the son of Seba Smith, we'll
known as Jack Downing and Mrs. Eliz.
abeth Oakes Smith, also we'll known writ
er, has been convicted under his recently
resumed alias of Oak Smith OF completely
in the slave trade, and stands sentenced to
five years imprisonment in the Massachu-
setts State prison, and fine Of $4,000 or
another years imprisonment for each S. 900
unpaid.
This sentence is quite as significant as
that OF Gordon, recently executed in New
York. Gordon's death showed that the
government would punish slave-traders. -
Oaksmi'h's sentence shows that the govern
ment is resolute to mete out to high and
low alike, without respect 70 persons, the
righteous penalties Of the law against this
Internal traffic. No healthier or more hope
full sign could be given Of the spirit in
which our wholesome laws are to be ad-
ministeced. No pains were spared to exert
moral influences upon court and jury. An
array of we'll dressed ladies constantly at
tended the prisoner in quality Of sympa>
thizing friends. and a tnJleau riv7nt of much
taste and power was brought to bear dur
ing the concluding scenes. But all was in
vain, and the upright Massachusetts jury re
turned their verdict as law and truth de-
manded, however they might sympathize in
the grief Of the prisoners friends.
This convict just disappearing from our
sight within the awful doors Of the prison
there to spend the very prime and flower Of
his strength, ard who, even after he shall,
return among living men is adjudged forever
infamous by solemn sentence Of law, and in
capable Of exercising the privileges of free,
men, is a peculiarly terrible figure. The
son o. refined and intellectual parents
trained in an atmosphere, very focus OF
thought and knowledge; Of remarkable
physical and mental gifts brave advcntur-
Gus, active, good writer, no ignob!e poet,
even positively romantic, quick to perceive
and understand all that is beautiful and
good notwithstanding all this, some rad
ica( vice Of character has led him into one
ill-considered enterprise after another until
the series Of rash literary undertakings and
frantic fiIl'busterings-tor he was concerned
in Walkers schemes, and we believe in those
of Lopez-culminated in the bad pre- emf
nence Of the slave voyage Justice cuts short
his career, an indellible stain strikes through
and through his whole life; and utter OBJ

SINGULAR FANcY-The West Chester
(Pa.) Republican records the death Of an old
man who has kept his coffin in his house for
thirty years. Until within few years he
resided on small farm three miles from
West Chester. On one occasion he cut
down fine walnut tree growing on his
place, had it sawed into boards, and the cof.
fin was made from portion Of the lumber.
Without communicating his purpose to any
ono he took boards to cabinet maker, had
the coffin made, and one day it came home
while he was absent, causing considerable
consternation in his family. He was rather
an eccentric person, but kind neighbor
and good citizen. Last week this un.
comfortable reminder Of death was brought
forth varpished, and he was carried in it to
