a discovery — a literary discovery. One of the sweetest and prettiest writers in this land of Hail Columbia, is the Hon. Reverdy Johnson, of Lyndhurst, near Baltimore, in the Commonwealth of Maryland. When, as became watchful journalists, we underwwers, and were compelled to fall back upon Reverdy. He was, as the young ladies lisp, be-you-tiful. A kind of frisky Dr. Johnson, we should say, stately, but smiling; sesquipedalian, but fascinating; plethoric, but pretty. The epistle of Reverdion of the Union. The Hon. Edward Everett has been a stranger to happiness for several years, and here turns up the Hon. Reverdy Johnson, by not a little the most frightened man in the Confederacy. Now, we are for a modicum of fun, and cannot possid the cat, will kill these sensitive patriots, unless they better control themselves. We, therefore, recommend to Mr. Reverdy Johnson some light purgative medicine, regular hours, cheerful society, and a reasonable effort to rely, just the least in

tion of Slavery — that Sir Samuel Romilly, in pronouncing the doom of a barbarous commerce, anticipated the time when the West Indies should no more be cultivated, as now, by wretched Slaves, but by happy and contented laborers, ----that the careless but kind-hearted Sheridan declared, that the abolition of the Slave-Trade was the proper preamble to the entire abolition of Slavery, --that Lord Grenville, then Prime Minister, moved Emancipation in the House of Lords--and, finally, that old Dr. Johnson used to drink, as a favorite toast, a speedy insurrection of the Slaves of Jamaica, and success to them! These were the views of enlightened English statesmen and thinkers nearly a century ago. These opinions, familiar as they are to our own educated classes, have done much to create and strengthen that hostility to Slavery which the great organ of the British shopkeepers now stigmatizes as fanaticism and folly. Let it rave! Let its passion for pounds sterling get the better of its m
