A Co; respondent of the St. Louis Republican, w nting from Jetferson City, gives an amusing de scription of a trial which recently come oft at that pla. in wiii h all the counsel engaged rank high at the Missouri bar. Although lawyers were never considered remarkable for their erudition in the Scriptures, urges the editor of the Republican, yet such unpardonable neglect of the Holy Book, as the counsel in the case exhibited, calls for prompt action upon the part of the American Bible Socie ty, or greater Sunday school facilities. Here is the letter: A few days since, I was serving as a juror in a case of slander. Three of our most imminent lawyers were engaged—one for the plaintiff’, the others for defendant. The counsel attempted to impeach the veracity of one of the witnesses—an old man named Mavhew. They failed entirely, and when the counsel for plaintiff came to sum up the evidence, said : “Gentlemen of the jury, the counsel on the opposite side have endeavored to impeach the veracity and destroy the character of the witnesses, and particularly of my old friend Alayhew. 1 must confess gentlemen, I trembled for "my old friend, when the senior counsel for de fendant, with his stern countenance, demanded of the old man whether he had not told a different story to his neighbors, and introduced Mr. Harris to prove it. But, gentlemen, he failed utterly failed ; and my old friend Mavhew came out un s -athed. Vos, gentlemen, like Panic! of old , out of the lion s dm, without a hair of his head having been singtd." This excited the risibles of those familiar with the authority quoted; but some very broad grins were seen when the senior counsel for defendant rose, and remarked to his hearers, “That his friend, the counsel for plaintiff’, had not quoted correctly the passage from the higher law ; that he had read and heard much of Daniel, but that was the nrst. time he had ever heard of his /n ine/ in the lion's den." All was silence, however, compared with the roar when the junior counsel made his reply. In alluding to the remarks of plaintiff' s counsel, he said: "Mv worthy friend on the other side is not quite as familiar with the volumes of the higher law as he is with those of Clotty and of Blackstone, or he would not have attempted to release his friend Mavhew from the lion's den without having a hair of His head singed. Unlike my senior, I hare heard of Daniel being in the lion’s den ; but until to-day, 1 never heard that his roaring majesty made use of fire. My worthy friend has, 1 suppose, mixed up the escape of Daniel from the lion's deii with the passage of XJnichadnezzir through the nerg furnance, who had not a hah singed:’" One good effect has resulted from this trial. Ma ny who were present, and others who have since heard the above, have been conning their Bibles; and, as an instance, i will mention that 1 went into the post office after the trial, where I found two old gray-headed codgers husilv engaged in hunt ing up the places referring to the passage of Shad rach, Mesheck and Abednogo through the lien furnace, uud the escape of Daniel from the lion's den. When 1 entered, they were about to give up the search in despair, one of them saving he thought it was not in the Bible; that they had thumbed trom Ist Genesis to last Jeremiah, and could find no such names. Some of these gentlemen would uo doubt he as good commentators of the higher law, as manv of those ministers who pretend to find their authority for the use of Sharpe’s riff- s. Should these limbs ot the law again attempt to explore unknown regions, 1 shall wish, as did the writer of John Gilpin's story, •• Mav 1 be there to see.’’ Bealtifi i. Extract. —The late eminent Judge, Sir Allen Bark, once said at a public meeting ] “We live in the midst of blessings until we are ut terly insensible of their greatness, and of the source whence they flow. We speak of our civili zation. our arts, our freedom, our laws, and forget entirely how large a share is due to Christianity. Blot Christianity out of man’s history, and what could his laws have been —what his civilization ? Christianity is mixed up with our very being and verv life; there is not a familiar object around you which does not wear a different aspect, because the light of Christian love is on it. Not a law which does not owe its truth and gentleness to Christianity—not a custom which cannot he traced, in all its holy and healthful parts, to the Gospel. Generous Confidence. A candidate of a party is the exponent of the principles of that party. It is presumed, as a matter of course, that lie professes and maintains j those principles. His triumph or defeat is the tri umph or defeat of those principles. The idea that a man would be allowed to accept the nomination of a party, and at the same time repudiate the principles of the party nominating him, is an ab surdity. On the other hand, the proposition is equally absurd that one party could be induced to support the candidate of another party, and at the same time repudiate the principles of the party nomi nating. That such stultification could take place among an intelligent and thinking people, is one of the absurdities of politics yet to come to pass in our country. Vet precisely this proposition is embraced in the following suggestions of the Wilkes Republican: “Nominees and Platforms. — How is it possible to support the nominee of a party without advoca ting its platform? is a question propounded to us. The answer is plain ; if the candidate is honest, capable, faithful to the Constitution, and is willing to accord equal justice to every section, to defend the rights of all citizens everywhere, it is sufficient to entitle him to the support of all to whom the interests of their country are dearer than the in terests of party. If a candidate professes to be rove rued bv this standard, and his acts correspond with his profession, he is safe to trust with the reins of government. No matter what his abstract opinions may be, whether favorable or unfavorable to particular policy or religions, whether sectional or otherwise, such a man will be very far from car rying them into practice, and, holding office, will be national in his acts. “.Such a man we believe Fillmore to be, if he is the same man lie was, and that remains to be dis covered. He has shown his honesty, his capacity and impartiality by his acts; he has been tried and not been found wanting. Where is the diffi culty in supporting him on his own merits, upari from bogus platforms®’’ Now, if Mr. Fillmore accepts the Know Nothing nomination at Philadelphia, he must accept ttie platform laid down by the Grand Council of the Know Nothing party, whose legitimate function it was to enunciate the principles of the organization. Mr. Fillmore, being a Third Degree member of the Order, will, if he accepts, of course be the ex' ponent of the principles of his party. Can any man or party vote for him without, by so doing, sanctioning the platform on which he stands, thereby giving to it all the moral aid and countenance of such an indorsement? That is clearly impossible. Whether so intended or not, such a vote will be the recognition of the correctness of the platform. That Mr. Fillmore would he so base as to betray ilie party that elected him to office, we are unpre pared to believe. That he is weak, timid, and wanting in those high elements of character neces sary to resist the demands of fanaticism and the outward pressure which sectional bigotry would bring to bear upon him, we do believe, and we look upon this as the great deficiency of the man. But we do not believe him capable of a deliberate fraud upon those who place him in nomination for tlie Presidency. He has not the nerve to he so base. He would not he so base if he had the nerve. Vet the V ilkes Republican is willing to extend to him the “generous confidence" of believing that he would prove traitor to the anti-slavery senti ments which presided over the deliberations of llie Nominating Convention, and repudiated the twelfth section from the creed of the Fillmore and Donelson party. How far the Know Nothings of Georgia will par ticipate iu this “generous confidence” we have no certain means of knowing. We deem it due, how -ver, to so large a portion of our fellow citizens of Georgia to express our emphatic belief that few of 'hem are capable of such folly. Looking back to the pledges and solemnly de lated sentiments of the party in Georgia, we see an irreconcilable antagonism between it and the Convention which recently assembled in Philadel phia. Let us look to the past action of the Know Noth ing party of Georgia, and see what are some of its principles and its pledges. Let us, also,see the re lations which ought to exist between it and these supporters of Fillmore and Donelson us deduced front the action of this late Philadelphia Conven tion. In June, 1855, the Know Nothing Convention, if the State of Georgia, met and declared its prin iples. Among the resolutions was the following : Resolved, 6. That this Council > while repudiating lie policy of allowing in future legislation of the •ouutrv, unnaturalized foreigners to vote in Ter ritorial elections) regards all opposition to the principles of the Nebraska-Kunsas act, in relation o slavery as hostility to the constitutional rights if the South ; and ait persons who partake of such ippositiou as unfit to he members of the American party. What is the language of the Fillmore and Donelson Convention on this point? 14th. Opposition to the reckless and unwise poli cy of the present Administration * * as -iiown in re-opening sectional agitation, by the repeal of the Missouri Compromise, Ac. How did this present Administration re-open this sectional agitation? By sanctioning the Ne braska-Kansas bill. How did it repeal the Mis souri Compromise? By sanctioning the Xcbras ku-Kausas bill. Here then is the Fillmore Convention denounc ing that act, and the Georgia Know Nothing Con vention declaring opposition to its principles, “as h osiUitg against the constitutional rights of the South.” With which convention will the renders of the Wilkes R<publican, co-operate? Again, the Georgia Know Nothing Convention :ii Milledgeville in December last, after enuncia ting strong Southern Rigiits principles, and sunc i toning the repeal of the Missouri Compromise re striction, adopted the following resolution : 9. We instruct our delegates to the National Convention to insist upon the adoption of the fore going principles in spirit and substance before go ing into a nomination, and that the nominee he rledged. to carry out the same in good faith in the edministration of the Government and the appoint ments to office. The delegates appointed did not attend the Philadelphia Convention. But it seems they sent a communication to that Convention. How was it treated ? The Convention refused to hear it read, it most cavalierly and contemptuously passed it hv, although a member from Pennsylvania called for the reading of it. Are the Georgia Know Nothings in the face of this treatmeut"prepared to tack themselves on to the tail of this Convention and adopt its nominees as their candidates ? We believe there are thou sands who will indignantly scorn to occupy such a position —a position which they would consider both violative of their duty as Southern men, and degrading to them as gentlemen. At Cincinnati, Louisville and St. Louis, there is a rush of trade, it is said, never before witnessed, and this, too, without the upper rivers being open.

The following narrative, for the truth of which we vouch, may he of interest to the reader, as teach ing us never to despair while there is yet hope; and as showing, in a very remarkable degree, the pro vidence of God. The town of Liverpool, in Nova Scotia, situated about sixty miles front Halifax, is a place of some magnitude for a colonial outport. It is, and al ways has been, remarkable for the neatness and comfort of the houses, for the activity and enter prise of its people, and for the wealth and well being of all who choose to be industrious and in clined to lay up worldly goods. The intercourse with Halifax, the capital of the province, was, at the period of which we speak, chiefly kept up by a smart and clashing little craft, called the Liver pool Packet, commanded by Captain Bass, which plied weekly between the two places throughout the spring and summer months, laying up during the severity of the winter, when the communica tion with Liverpool was for the most part, limited to a weekly post by laud. About the year lslo or 1816, as the season for navigation was drawing to a close, a great num ber of passengers went to Halifax, as was the cus tom, to replenish their stores for the winter, while many heads of families proceeded thither to pur chase clothing, groceries, Ac., for their private winter stock; and as this was to be the last trip of the season, the little hark was crowded with some forty or fifty passengers, chiefly fathers and moth ers of large families, who were left at home. The voyage to Halifax was prosperous; the voyagers made their purchases, and in due time j the Liverpool Packet was ready to return. All the j passengers embarked in good spirits, aud the bark j sailed cheerily down the harbor and proceeded for I her destination. A few hours after her departure there sprang up ; one of those terrific North-westers, so well known on the coast of Nova Scotia, and blowing with the utmost fury for several days, attended with intense frost. It was clear that no vessel could keep the coast; she must either put herself before the wind and run out to sea, or all perish miserably by wreck, and the rigor of an atmosphere twenty or ; thirty degrees below zero. A change of weather | so sudden, so severe and so unexpected, gave rise to great fears for the safety of the little packet, and the next post by land was anxiously watted for by friends and relatives at both towns'. The post at length arrived, but brought no tid ings of the Liverpool packet ; another post and another came in, and yet no news of the missing vessel. Search was then made along the shore to see if the wreck could be found; but, as in the case of tlie Pacific, not a vestige could be discovered. Advices were in due time received from Bermu da, but nothing was heard from the little packet and her passengers. Accounts were also received from several of the West India Islands, but still without intelligence of the missing vessel. Three months at. length passed away, and ihe packet was given tip for lost. Those who had friends on board went into mourning, and prayers were even offered up for the repose of the souls of tue departed. Four months had now passed away; the mourn ers, notwithstanding their irreparable loss were becoming reconciled to their bereavment; for there is a philosophy in the human 'heart which teaches us to hear with fortitude great losses, when those of less severity are met with impa tience. All hope had now lied; the vessel had without doubt, foundered and gone to the bottom, with all on board; but when and in what part of the vast ocean was to remain veiled in the se crets of the deep until the sea should give up her dead. Sixteen weeks had now elapsed, when one fine morning in the spring, some sea faring people down at the Fort deserted a strange brig approach ing the harbor. As she drew nearer to thoauxious group, her deck was discovered to he crowded with male and female passengers. “ Ah !” exclaimed one who had a certain indefi nable hope, as that hope sank within him, “an emigrant ship after all,” and a deep sigh came from his bosom ; for lie had a near and dear friend on hoard the little Packet. “An emigrant ship said another; “how can any captain of an emi grant ship know so well his way into this har bor?” “Besides, emigrant ships do not come to Liverpool.” A pause ensued, during which one with a quick eye was gazing through the best glass the town afforded; lie was on one knee, rest ing his telescope, when he suddenly sprang on his feet, and declared that Captain Bass was among the passengers! “Nonsense!” was the incredu lous cry; “Captain Bass and the Liverpool Packet are at the bottom of the sea, and will remain there till the day of resurrection.” Not daunted by their incredulity, lie said, “give me the trumpet, I will speak the brig, in a few mo ments she will he near enough.” ‘What brig is that?’ The response was given. “Are you Cap tain Bass?” es„’ was the reply. A few moments sufficed that the vessel had been blown off', and for many days went before the wind with great rapid ity. As the storm abated, ('apt. Bass found lie could better reach the West Indies than lie could get back with so small and so crowded a vessel. 1 sing their provisions economically, and slaking their thirst with the eider and the barrels of apples that were on hoard, they reached Barba does. There the captain sold his sloop, bought the brig, and came back safe with all his passen gers. The joyful news tied through the town with the impetuosity of lightning, and ere the vessel could he brought to the wharf, the entire population of the place had assembled to meet and embrace their friends. It would he in vain to describe such a scene-—all were in mourning—yet all with a smile of jov beaming m their countenances. As the long-lost friends and relatives leaped on shore, fathers, mothers and brothers were locked in each other's arms, and then the smiles became tears of joy. But how was such a scene to end -how could it, or how ought it to end with a moral and Christian people? There is in tlie depths of the fountains of the human heart an ever-living spring, from which flows its purest and most sacred emotions. Then- arises the principle of religion, the sense of .locnuntabilit v to (tod and love for all his goodness. This impulsive feeling came forth in a gush of spontaneous gratitude, and the tears and sobs had scarcely ceased when, with one sudden impulse, the whole assemblage sank on their knees, and in a burst of pious fervor poured out thanks to the great and merciful Redeemer who had so singu larly preserved them -and who holds us in the hollow of his hand. spe_< i via noth;es.
