The Advertisemcnt was repub'ished, a ehort time since, by the (Syracure; Den ocratic Preeman, but probably without n knowledge of the fact that the subscriben to it waa, as he yet ie, one of the Judges of the Supreme Court of the U.med State. Judge McKinley, we Jearn waa bom and brought un in obscure and narrow circumstances, without tlie advantages of early edneation. He ia now an oíd man. Beginnlng the world in poverty, tne gradationsof ,a prosperity have been marked by ihe increasing number of his fellow creatures bought and sold by him in bondage. We have it from good aulhórity however, that he is, n8 a slaveholde-, humane and gentle. Yet ao hardening to Ihe moral ■enslbilkies i. the system in which he has involvcd himself, that humane and gentle 'hoiigh he be, he has had the hardihood, to publ,h before the world that he will except rrom h. solos, by families," a number of young men, women, boys anJ girls, who will be sold nparutèly This, too, with no other object than to swell the amount of cales. Who can wonder a some of the late decisions of the Supreme Courf, on qnrttlona toucbing slavery? A nmjority of the Judges are elaveliolders, not a jot moro humane than we suppose Mr. McKinley to be.Froni the NnsliviIle(Tenn.)'Union.

The great difiiculty I have found in attending to the dutïea of my office, and to n plantation at a great distance lrom my rcside.ice, hos induced me to give up planting; nnd to nvoid tlieseparalion of men from their vives, nnd women from their children, I havo determioed fo still ihem on racifa credit as wül enable the purchnser to pay for them with convenience, und be more than oompensated for the interest of the money, by the labor of the grown ones.
