JOHN 0. II ALL,
Chairman of the leui. County Com.
Ilclcase of Jtlt'erson Davis.
The news by the papers of Tuesday
last bring to us the news of tho release
of Jefferson Davis from confiuenient at
Fortress Monroe. This news will be
received with gladness tbioughout the
entile country by men of all parties.
We do not seek to be apologists for
the conduct of Jefferson Davis during
the late rebellion ; but we say tbat he
has been shamefully treated ; not shame
fully treated because ho has been suffer
ing an iniprisoumctit of two years which
tbo pnpere tell us, has reduced his phy
sical frame to a . mere Ekeletou but
shamefully treated becausa it will forev
er bo a blot on the name and character
of the American nation " The home of
tbc fixe and the land of the brave "
that it, for two Ion? and weary years,
kept an alleged criminal confined in a
Lastih, after he, through his counsel,
had repeatedly asked for bis trial. For
this gross violation of one of the main
principles of our government the rilit
of immediate trial by jury this gov
ernment itself will have to answer for.
We ask, in all candor aud fairness,
why could uot hi have lecn held to
bail for trial when he was first arrested
over two years ago, as well as now ?
His crime, if crime it was, has not les
sened or increased siuce his imprison-
mer.t Why not, then would ' it not
have been better to have given him a
trial at the jrvjcr time ?
The trial will take place in November
nest. Hie jury wlncli is to try turn,
wo suppose, is tbc one which Judge (?)
Underwood, in bis testimony before the
Judiciary Committee, on beiug ask
ed if be could nack a iurv in irijmia
------ 1 w
who would convict Jefferson Davis, re
plied that bo could. We suppose that
Underwood lias indeed packed the jury,
or caused it to be doue, as the forcuiau
nf ibft samo is no less a personajro thati
that arch demagogue and political trick
.-tgr John Miuor . llotts, whose uamo is
followed by those of , five full-Llqodcd
"Americau titizcus of Afiicau Vcout."
From tbo latter fact we conclude that
treason will be made odious,'' whether
Davis is convicted or not especially
while the pet lamb remain iu the jury
bos. For our own part, we do not see why
Mr. Davis should be singled out from
among tight millions of rebels to auswer
foi their aud bis own misdeeds. Some
may say, however, " (), he was their
President, their leader!" Granted.
Hut it yet remains to be proven whether
he ever sought to be their leader.
It is well knowu that; Jeffersou Dtivis
for tho past twenty-five year was the
acknowlcdscd leading man of tho South.
Ever watchful of her iuterehts, be had
so cadeared himself to bis people, that
when their great trial came, they taught
him. Wo leave it to the calm, dispas
sionate sense of any man of truth and
honor, if be i?"'c, with honor to himself
or gratitude to his pooplo refuse to be
come their champion, and iclp and up.

tbo trial takes place, wjll . make it a
point of " professional pride," u i Jling-
liani, in tbo Surratt ease, to convict bis

CATHOLIC CHRISTIAHITY NO. 5.
Since that infinitely powerful, wise,
and holy Ueiug, who made us and pro.
serves us, is our moral oovernor ana
Judge, it becomes us to inquire with all
seaiousness and candor, how wo may so-
cure the good which Fie is able to be"
stow, and avoid the evil which he is
able to inflict, ror when this short and
uncertain life is ended, we must enter
an eternal state of retribution, and our
behavior in this world will determine
our condition in tho next. All ques
tions of merely temporal concern tre of
no account iu comparison to tho inquiry
how we may approve ourselves to God,
and secure that fulac of joy which can
bo found only in His presence those
tinnloied jihasarcs which are at his
light hand iorevermore.
?ut, here we arc met by a very sad i
and surprising fac. Man is not only,
estrayed from God, but is unwilling to
become reconciled to Ilini. This fact
we may observe every day. The reason
of it we find declared in the ocriptutes.
Where God had created man in his own
likeness, he gave him one command a
very easy one that he would not eat of
tho tree that stood in the midst of the
garden, upon pain of death, while he
might eat freely of all the rest. We
understand tbat if our first parents had
obeyed this command, they would have
been immortal, and their posterity also;
but when they ate of tho forbidden tree,
they and their children became subject
to death, " By one man sin entered into
th'n-world, and. death by sin; and so
death passed upon all men in wdiom (or
for t at) all have sinnod." 'tomans 5,
12. " JJy a man came death," " in
Adam all die.". I Cor. 15, 21. 22. Tho
human race fell iu that first transgress
ion ; nnd so every individual, descend.

Aueustind cbserves, " Nothing is ours
but Hin.".iAnd tbe Apostle confesses,
" For I know that there- dwelleth uot in
mo, that is in my flesh, that which is
God." lt3nu-7, IS,- "That which is
born of tbo flesh, is flesh J and tbat
which inborn ot tbo Spirit, is hpinr.
John 3, G. .So-tJiat all uankind, until
"bom of the Smut, aro at heart the
enemies of God ; having not a particle
of truo love for Him whom they ougl.t
to love with all the heart, and soul, and
mind und strength. This " innate, sin
ful depravity of tho heart" which we
all inherit from Adam, is the original
gin from which, aa an evil toot, spring all
our actual tin the evil thoughts, words
and deeds, from which no one can claim
to bo entire'y free. Tbeso corrupt
fruit show that tho tree is corrupt.
The uniform developments of human
nature for hix thousand years allord, the
slight confirmation of tho Seripturo doc.
