Practical criticism upon the philanthropic ' projects ofanen sometimes appears to them like an appartion, and never more so than in the subjoined advertisements, taken from a Boston newspaper published in 1741 To pe S0Lp by the printer ef this paper, the very bess uwegro woman in this town, who has bad the swall pax and the measles; is as hearty a3 a horse, as brisk-es a bird, and will work like a beaver.

Here is a sharp conmnentary on the stormy general laws of the race is important only to prove that slavery is not a mere creature of the will, but that it exists by virtue of a principle as thoroughly fixed in our society as that which controls onr political system. If it has been the work ef centuries to establish it here, it may well be,expected to require something more than the denunciation of a day to ecradi- cate it. The idlest national habit, the most ob- jectionable individual opinion, is not thus re- do both town | Moved. We give no credit to Masgachusetis philan- thropy that her printers are not now, as they were in 1741, advertising for sale a negro woman who is as “hearty as a horse, and as brisk as a bird.” Her climate, the cireum- stances of her early settlement, the character of | abolition adyenturers of Massachusetts and | her productions, the stinted capacity of her soil, pare for sea, The Baltic is said to be its dee- | New England; these professional philanthro- | which exacted the highest order of intelligence timation, in the event of England’sjoining in the | pists who get a living by their trade, whose | to work it successfully, brought on an early | turned, and the prisoner was only sentenced to negro and Maine law nostrams are preclaimed, like patent pills. as the sovereign antidotes for all diseases of the great body politic ef Ame- riea--a bit of history which has survived “the contact between voluntary and involuntary labor, and the former triumphed, asit ever will. How infinitely above all partizan considera- tions is the question raised by this view of its their having committed the crime. The testimony was decisive. A coroner’s inquest was held, and the verdict of the jury, strange to say, was “ justifiable homicide!” We learn, however, that notwithstanding this ab- surd verdict, the District Attorney has held the prisoners in custody, to await the action of the Grand Jury. The case of De Corn is still more recent—tried in this city before Judge Ed- wards. for what appeared to us, and, we venture to say, to nine hundred and ninety“nine pergons out of every thonsand, to be as clear a case of deliberate murder as ever was established— committed openly, before noon, in the presence of witnesses whose ,testimony was not im- peached—the culprit himself, in fact, admitting that he perpetrated the bloody deed ;--yet, by some legal and judicial hocus pocus, a verdict of manslaughter in the third degree was re- two years and ten months imprisonment! In yesterday’s Hinatp appeared a report of a ease still more recent, in which a colored man, named Anderson, was tried at ihe Court of Oyer memory of man,” and which tells a plain story | character, and the laws that control its exist- | and Terminer, before the same Judge, for the of the antecedents of eur upright and exceed- ingly moral neighbors of the Old Common- wealth. We do not regard it as very remarkable that the proprietor of a Boston newspaper should be compelied to dispose ef one or two of his no- groes. Nor is it nee ‘y to revive his adver- tisements for the purpose of proving that slavery, at so late a period, existed in Massa- cbusetis. It is true that recent eveuts and the that State would hardly warrant the conclusion that slavery had ever existed in Massachusetts, certainly not within the purlieu of Faneuil Wall. But our object is rot to show that such avas the fact no longer age than in 1741, but rather to look into the causes of its extinction, and to give credit to euch principles as we find to have effected that end. It is an interesting inquiry; and just now that the public is fatigued with the extreme meseures and ranting speech, abolition and free soilism, may be pursued with a fair prospect of doing some practical good. Never were the American people more ready to look the matter ofslavery in the face, te inquire iato its uses.as an existing branch of labor, the laws of its existenee,.and the whole process of its Ti is manifest that it has been a long- ty ot must have worked itself into the textave of our society. This fact, of it- is cnough to put reflecting men upon in- quiry. It hge been the production of centuries, and has aided not only to form the moral sexti- ment of this country, but has largely contri- buted, by the results of its labor, to achieve its independence. What we would say is, that la bor constitutes an essential part of government and elsewhere. The system of rule which Jopes the greatest amount of industry in any nation is recorded as the most saccessful. in modern times, that people whose productions are limited, from whaterer cause. are counted neees very as u thy to rank among the great states of the world.

It becomes at ounce an economical pro- blem. of high interest, to be solved only by the operation of general principles under the Con- stitution and laws of the country. It wrests it from the hands of agitators and mock philan- thropists, as a disturbing element of our polit!- ealsystem.

Tue Unrrep States Sexatre—Wuo 1s TO BE Apsinisrration Lraper?—Some of the Wash- ington letter-writers put forth the idea that Senator Lewis Cass, of Michigan, intends to as- sume the post of leader of the administration in the next session of the United States Senate. ‘This feeler is undoubtedly put out by some per- sons who take their cue or ideas fronr the Cabi- net at Waskington, or their agents in those re- gions. It is true Senator Cass would be very important to the administration, in the present position inwhich they stand before the country. But we doubt very much that he will submit to be a leader in that cause. Indeed, we have the best evidence for believing the contrary. We do not state without authority that Ge’ ral Cass disapproves of the principle on which the Cubinet was constructed, and condemns a great many of the acts and appointments of the Cabinet. In reference to the action of the See- retary of the Treasury in the State of New York, we are very sure that General Cass is of the same opinion as those who have censured the removal of Mr. Brenson from the Collector- ship of this port, and ¢he unconstitutional, no- precedented interference of the administration in the recent Siate election. Doubtless Geue- ral Cass will support many of the appoint- ments; but that he will oppose some of the most obr us of them, we have no hesitation in As to the measures of the administra- ( saying. tion, such as may be ponrtrayed in the forth- coming message to Congress, time will tell of what stuff it is made, and what course it may be proper to take. But there can be no doubt—and we state it positively-— that General Cass entirely disapproves of the cutive course of the Cabinet, and of many of the ppointiments it has advised the President to Ke, In relation to another Senator, we ean also ray something—we mean Vr.

It wag elicited from the testimony that the prisoner was one of a gang of black and white rowdies who had been in the habit of disturbing the neighborhood, and assaulted the deceased without the slightest provocation, as he was walking quietly through Laurens street. towards Canal, one Sunday night; knocking him down, and when he attempted to fly, throwing stones at him, from the effect of one of which, striking him in the temporal artery, he died in a week after. Not only was the prisoner, who was nicknamed Buck Lye, proved to be prominent in this gang, but to have inflicted a blow upon the deceased. knocking off his hat, of which he robbed him— giving it to another negro to take away. The District Attorney very properly con- tended that this was a case of murder, or at least of manslaughter in the first degree$ The learned Judge suggested that it was a case of manslaughter in the fourth degree. The jury, not having much confidence in their own judgment, took the hint, and returned a verdict of manslaughter in the fourth degree; and the convict was sentenced to two years impris- onment, less punishment than is frequently inflicted for a theft. To very many of our readers this will scem an extraordinary verdict; they will say that it ought to have been cither a very different one, or a verdict of acquittal; and they will feel, each man for himself, that his life is no longer safe in passing through the streets, if such expositions of the law of murder and man slaughter be permitted to prevail. The truth is that jurors, for the most part, are not sufliciontly independent. To save themselves the trouble of thinking, and to get rid of the high responsi- bility that attaches to them, they are too ready to be guided in their decision in whatever way aJudge may thiak proper to lead them; and in numerous cases to which we might veiur, Judges have given such a direction to the minds of jurymen, in reference not merely to the law, but the facts. that the institution of trial by jury would seem to be almost a mock- ery, or at hist but an idle form, which might be readily dispensed with, without the slightest éetriment to the administration of ju: We boast ef the euperiovity of our laws, and of the protection ded by ikem to all classes ofcitizens, Would such acrime, we ask, as that committed hy Anders: d others be allowed to tske place in the streets of London or Paris?
