green haulm and roots of the grass which exists
fcfter the crop has been removed, and which, by
being turned in, operates as a powerful 3nd
peedy enrichment to the soil. Gras? land",
from which a heavy crop of hay has been taken,
generally produces a crop of aftermoth, which,
in its decompose J state, furnishes an excellent
manure, and is of far greater value when ap
propriated in this way, than when cut and led
to stock, as bar. It has been estimated bv
competent judges, that, on every acre of grass '
laud provided it be of ordinary fertility, and
tlie gra?s roots well "set," there is from thirty
to forty tons of soluble matter, fit for the food

A little way i'rotn I'.rt is the i.'ioleni
Loevestiin. which w;is the prison cf th
citiile f
which was the prison of the learmd
Grothis fr a year and a half. The history of !
his escape in a box, March U"-', 1'.J1, gives an J
interest to the spot. He beguiled the tedious j
months of confinement, by various studies in :
ancient and modern literature. Sundays he
wholly devoted to prayer and the study of thc-
ology. Twenty months of his imprisonment
books and linen began to examine them loosely.
At length they permitted the chest to pass
without examination.
Upon this she contrived a project for his
release. She had a chest made of the p-roper
size, and bored boles in it to let in the air. She
intrusted her maid with the secret, and the
chest was conveyed to Grothis' apartment. She
revealed her project to him, and after
ninrli r-ntroitv i.revailed 011 him to enter the
i i
chest and leave, her in the prison
The books
which Grotius borrowed were usually sent away
bv water in a boat from the prison. The chest,
. j big with the fate of Grotius, as soon as he was
inclosed in it, was moved into the boat, accom
panied by the maid. One of the soldiers, ob
serving that the chest was uncommonly heavy,
the maid replied, " It is the Armenian books
which are so heavy." The soldier said in a
joke " Perhaps it is the Armenian himself;" and
then without more ado the chest was lodged m
the boat. As soon as tlie boat was fairly under
way, the maid gave a signal to her mistress
that all was right.
Alter some hours the Kat reached its desti
nation, and tlie maid flew to Jacob PdaUelaar,.
a friend of Grothis, at whose house the chest
was deposited, and toll him that her master
was in the box. He was at first terrified at the
consequences which might result; but halving
sent away the servants, he released Grotius,
dressed in the garb of a mason, with a rule and f
trowel, and passing through the market in that
dress to a beat engaged for the purpose, made
his escape t j Brabant and thence to Paris. His !

iin.'tcii,'' was before the Legislature,
we advocated
its passage, conscientiously re-
garding many of the provisions of the law of
1817 as "unconstitutional and unjust in their
operation," calculated to disturb the public
peace, and "render ineffectual" the Fngitive
Slave Law in Pennsylvania a law "passed by
a constitutional majority of Congress," and
" pronounced constitutional by the Judicial tri-
bunals." Believing that the Laws of Congress
should be "enforced and implicitly obeyed," as
tlie "only means of maintaining inviolate the
integrity of the Union," we consider it the duty
of every man to "render a patriotic acquiescence 1
. j
to all such laws," and indignantly to frown
- . . .1
upon tne nrst aawning of an " attempt to resist,
defeat, or bender ineffectual" the Fugitive
Slave Law, or any of the Compromise measures
passed by constitutional majorities of the last
Congress.

We clip the following paragraph from the
Harrisburg Keystcue of April -1, 1S4"2.
The New Judge. The nomination of James
Campbell, Esq., by Governor Tortcr, if we judge
from the expression of the public press, gives
general satisfaction in the city and county of
Philadelphia.
The Pennsylvania Inquirer, a leading Whig
paper, says, "James Campbell, Esq., it will be
perceived, has been nominated to the Senate as
the successor of Judge Randall, on the Bench of
Common Picas. Although politically eppoeed to
him, we cheerfully accord him the hijh merit
of hvnrftif aud capacity, and trust Le will be con
firmed by a liberal vote.

On page TOO, Journal II. R., 1841 we find,
"A motion was made by Mr. Smith, that the
bill, No. ICS, entitled "An Act to abolish im

This probably sealed the fate of the bill for
that session. The House refused to set it apart
for consideration; it was not acted upon, and
the cause of the unfortunate and oppressed
debtor was made to give place to the more mag
nificent business of legislating for private corpo
rations, turnpike roads and tapcicorms.
Gov. Johnston had never felt the pangs of
poverty. He knew not what it was to be torn
from his family and immured within the walls
of a prison cell licause he teas unable to j ay hia
dilts. He had been blessed with abundance in
his store, and had not the heart to feel for his
less fortunate neighbor, whose misfortunes, in
stead of commanding sympaihy and commissera
tion, consigned lum to the doom of a culprit.
It is now rumored that Governor Johnston in
tends paying off the February interest on the
State Debt out of his own pocket. General
Bickel will resign his office, of course, and the
taxes heretofore collected will be appropriated
to paying off the State Debt. What a noble in
