The point has been mtieh mooted-vvheth er- a testator- can bequeath' a - legacy, or devise land to - his widow on condition - that shoilitll riot - contract a second'. mar riage.: ', It.,seeins,:now to be, settled that as to arlegacy of personal property, he .cannatt'andthat such a condition, attach ed to itis void.. The question with, re,. spect to a devise of real estate, erictim bered with.he same condition, was pre: 'rented to Judge LEWIS, at: Lancaster a year ago, and ho decided that, as in the case of a legacy, the prohibition of a second marriage was invalid, and the widow was 'entitled to - the land, or its proceeds in . money, although, in direct opposition to the will, she marriedtgain. The Judge,_indeed, grew q'iite eloquent as well as philosophical; in the subject, and"decked his opinion with-many flow • ers of fancy. ,We ,extract front it, as _ published, the following paragraphs which show that sometimes it is-possible. to cover the dry soil of the law with the fragrant garlands of the imagination : . , " Marriage is a wise regulation in harmony with nature and religion, and is the only effecient preventive of . licen tiousness: The happiness of th,e parties and the intereits of society require that it should be free from either coercion or restraint. Bonds to procure, and con tracts and conditions to restrain, are alike forbidden. It is the appropriate regula tion of that great instinct of nature, which was designed by'the Creator to replenish the_ earth. It is upon this authorized union ,that all civilized nations depend for their prosperity in peace and their defence in. war. ' , 1 - : *The - prim:l4sl2°f reproduction Stands next in importance to its elder-born cor relative, self-presetivation, and is equally a fundamental law .of existence. l.t is the blessing which tempered with mercy the _justice nfLexpulsion-frolat,.l-'araclise.t_ was impressed uporr the human creation by a beneficient Providence to multiply the images of himself, and thuS to pro mote his own-glory and the happiness of his creatures. Not man alone, burthe whole animal and vegetable kingdom are under an imperious necessity to obey its mandates. From the lord of the forest to the monster of the deep—from the subtle, ty Of the Serpent to the innocence of the dove--frem the elastic ~embrace of the mountain, Kitlmia to the descending fruc tification of the lily of he plain, all nature bows submissively to tins primeval law. Even the flowers which perfume the air with their fragrance and decorate the forests and fields with their hues, are but "curtains to the nuptial bed." " The principles of morality—the pol icy of the nation—the doctrines of the common law—the law of nature and the' law of God unite in condemning as void the condition attempted to be imposed by this testator upon his widow." Notwithstanding the learned Judge's declaration of the American livir of popu latton—his eulogium upon the urvvvr- TERED, institution of marriage—his aria.- lOgies drawn from nature—his clear elu cidationvf the loves of flowers, and his impressive summing up of the,consider ations which induced 'him to declare the condition of not contracting a second marriage imposed upon the devise of land to his widow by the testator void, the other side was not convinced by the force, of hisarguments—the appositeness of h:s allusions, or the eloquenee . of his figures and appeals. They therefore sued out a writ of orror from the Supreme Court, and-the cause came on , for revision before that tribunal at Harrisburg last month. The decision of Judge Lewis was revers ed; and haVing..extracted largely frorq 'his opinion, we also copy from that if Chief Justice Ginsolv so' much as .relates to the topics, touched upon by Judge Lewis in the above extract. It will be seen that the style of the 'Chief Justice is very different from that of Judge pew is, and comes down with a kind of alellge hammer energy/ and "with no poetical embellishment, upon the flowery-rhetoric 4 of the President of - the second Judicial District. The Chief Justice after stat ing that certain text,writers have '.as sorted Chat it seems to be generally - ad witted (by whom ?) that even in regard to day ise,s of landomqualified restrictions on marriage are void. on grounds of pub lic, policy" goes on to refute the position in the folfearinglishaikrit - Fm - d Icrulliiind - read k: 'OiyW e '.*liiili.:rMixiiiketlAe for 'folio' of .expressiort than delicacy of thought: " I kdOw of no policy on which .
