stake the dollowing extract Irom the Aurocatf published at Marietta Gu the residence of Judge Mc Donald and supposed to be his organ upon the subject of the late Senatorial eleCtiohJvTheYesult of that elec tion is yet to be seen Instead of harmonising it may render the division in the ranks of the Democracy wider and the hostility of the leaders of its factions more bitter and vindictive But here is the extract charging Cbb with the crim of defeating McDonald is a very pretty quarrel as it There are moreover strange rumors regarding this Senatorial juggle They may or may nol Ijc true It is lumored that Governor Cobb paid a visit io Colum bus the city of Judge residence that after' unless eilorts hud been made to bring on the election nd alter ihe stampede of the wliigs ami renegades ata

not vouch for their accuracy but take them as they me not having seen any published proceedings of the demo cratic meeting of members of the Legislature that re cinded the imminutiou previously made is strange too that when the selection was made me of the names that had been before the caucus die party has taken up and elected thit one which re ceived the smallest number of rotes ami je ttd the mime which ran ahead of both the mbers put together on the hist ballot and finally obtained irice as many Democratic votes as both the others put together There is something more than mysterious in this for we have reason to believe that either of those dL tiutiuishc gentlemen for whose gratification tlte partv nominal icn was set aside voted for the Senator elect The pro ceedings in this case are the more remarkable as this is now the second time that Gov McDonald has received the nomination of his party lor Senator and Ihe second time his name Ins been unceremonious with drawn without

all die inhabitants thereof but is it possible fora teamed theologian like your rev erence not to be aware that foreign slaves were never spoken of as inhabitants of the land but as siran rers and sojourners It is in this very same chapter That the foreign slaves are declared to their inheritance and their possession and their possession for ever says the learned commentator Mi chaelis specified two periods at which the Hebrew servant was to regain bis the 7th year and the that is to say as he explains it at" the end of seven years from the date of the falling into sla ci (lhe sabbatical year hud nothing to do with it) and at any rate in the jubilee year whether he had been then seven years in slavery or not JSit nt thi inif all this applied to the sbxres purchased from foreign ers or iaken in war or to the children of 'such slaces" It is precisely as if there were a law iu America where by all American citizens who mie ht haw full intti state of slavery were to be set free at two stated periods in each century If yon know of any commentator worth attention who takes a different view of the matter probttcc him And it is not true nor is there tho smallest founda tion for the statement that a Hebrew avebolder was not permitted to sell his foreign slave On ihe contra ry there is one very peculiar ruff exceptional case Dent xxi in which a master is forbidden to sell a female captive whom he had taken to he shall not make merchandize of her And this exceptional prohibition leads to the belief that of all other slaves he might make merchandize Again it is said ifa man be found stealing any of liis brethren of the chil dren of Israel and maketh merchandize of him or sel leth him then that thief shall (Dent xxiv 7 men seems to me to prove that there were regular slave markets in Israel otherwise the kidnapper could not make of bis stolen' brethren and could have no temptation to setal him for sale' And lastly in providing for the moderate punishment of slaves with rods the law declares that even if the slave of his be tting after a day or two yet his master shall not be punished for "sa th the text he is his The learned commentator I cited before rc innrKs on this passage In any nation where slavery is established a master must have a right to chastise his slaves if they arc obstinate and provoke him in to a passion his blows map prove fatal contrary to his inclination but a pre determination to kill a slave will not be i tnputed to for he is his money Now if a slave was It is inheritance and his inheritance and his money and if in the whole Mosaic law there is to be found but one enact ment against selling that is foi bidding a uinn to sell his wife if she was also his slave forbidding it not because she was his slave but because she was his wife clearly we are emtled to assume tha: slaves were a maiketable fit modi I amonsr lhe Jews as they were amongst all other nations of is very laboriously attempting to excite a feeling
