Poland (Poland) (search for this): article 1
orality has had the smallest possible share, and we have seldom seen her triumphant save when, by rare good luck, she happened to be on the same side with Might. Power is never just where it has a selfish motive opposed to Justice. The English nation can lay as little claim to credit for Morality as any power on earth. The Old World of which it has been a chief Director of affairs has been the scene of successive national outrages — a conspicuous one of modern times being the partisan of Poland, to which England was a party. In all the revolutions and vicissitudes of nations of that world, where Might has prevailed, it was as often against Morality as for it. On the other hand, with regard to the North American States, the charge of the Times only holds good with reference to the besotted and brutalized power which now rules in the Northern States, and which, by its flagrant outrages upon the Federal Constitution and the rights of the Southern States, forced a dissolution of

n the New World and Old England, the former was resisting the principle of Might asserted by the latter, against the Moral principle that a man had a right to choose his country and serve under what flag he pleased. The Government of the United States in all its relations with the world up to the time of the dissolution of the Union, presents the fairest record of all nations. Not an act of injustice stained its pages. Those who shaped its policy and controlled its councils were distinguished Southern statesmen, and to them is chiefly attributable the Morality, the Might and Justice which prevailed. But the United States was doomed to repeat history, and to imitate the Old Word in its many examples that Might makes Right, in order to initiate here a struggle that was to teach them the lesson of Morality. It did this not in its foreign relations, but in its domestic. The besotted power of numbers which became, by peculiarity of pursuits and social condition, centered in

hey been respected they certainly would have been sufficient, and none, however strong, would have prevailed against that unscrupulous and infatuated sectional majority by which they were trodden into the dust. So that in the political institutions of the New World the moral principle was set up over that of Might. In its history down to the present struggle there is certainly nothing to impeach its integrity in all its foreign relations it acquired no territory by might save that from Mexico. In the war with that nation it had right on its side, and the acquisition of territory was an incident justifiable by the highest examples of the Old World. Its other acquisitions were by purchase; including those from the poor North American Indians, in which it deviated from the example of the Times's own nation, whose Morality it holds up to the admiration of the world ! In the second war between the New World and Old England, the former was resisting the principle of Might asserted by

Nevel case. --Four negroes — Mary Susan Hill, Harriet Hill, George Powders, free, and Jack, slave to P. J. Wright — were before the Mayer yesterday, on the warrant of Coroner Sanzay, charged with the murder of James Henson, a free negro, on the 29th of July last. Two witnesses were examined, but neither of them implicated Harriet Hill or the two men in the slightest degree with the murder. Ann Peppercorn deposed, that on the 27th of July, Mary 8. Hill came into her yard, adjoining that in which deceased resided, and purchased a lawn sack of her, paying her $1, and promising to pay the balance of the money when she called for the garment. Mary Susan then left the premise, and on getting into the street, witness heard her say Jim Hod son would not let her come to his house — that he thought more of her sister Harriet than he did of her — and that he should not live till Sunday night. Witness did not see the deceased, and could not say that he heard the prisoner's remarks
