Ose evening last week wo recoived a copy of 1 tho Universalitt Herald, a dirty-looking, con- ' tcmptiblc little sheet, published somewhere in 1 Alabama, with a pen or straw mark apparently designed to fix our attention upon a paragraph or two of worse than African slang devoted to ourselves. We are denominated "South Carolina surfs," and tho 'instructive littleness" of our souls iB declared, and such other appella tions as this boot-black murderer of English can scratch from his thick skull; all because lie holds us responsible for the disjunction of a certain tail, and a discontinuance on our part of nn exchange with him. We wrote our answer in brief upon the sun-burnt margin of the Herald, and sent it back, designing no public notico of bo utterly contemptible a yelp; but next day another came, from some eourcc, and it may be well to let the public know that we have not been unconscious of the distinguished honor conferred. We do not exchange with blackguards, and dislike to notice them in any way ; but if a decent, respectable Universalist journal desires an exchange, we shall readily grant it. We always shun an association with the vulgar.? A man who says "snrf" wljen he wants to mean terf, and "instructive" wKen inttinclive is boating at the crack of his noddle, is about as lionoracle and formidable a competitor as a mountain skunk. We shall therefore be excused from any further notice of him. A Respite- -The Pardoning Power. Kinman, the convict, has been respited by bis Excellency Gov. Manning, to the 22d of September next. Ho was to hare been banged on filA QflfK inofon^ It is usually, we believe, o pretty pure indication of the Executive's determination to refuse a reprieve when he grants a respite ; so tho probability ia that Kinman will end bia days in time and manner as indicated. Gov. Manning will not probably pardon him. And why not t Was it his Excellency's settled principle in assuming the duties of the high station he now occupies, to pardon ho man who had been condemned by a jury of hiapeersf Nay, this could not have been; for Gov. Manning hat pardoned in more than one case. Can it h?

Manning himself Jaid no precedent daring His administration that might ^warrant him in interposing his power in this oase to save a man frpuvthe gallows, wife from widowhood, and children from orphanage?, We could answer ;,bnt the public JtnOw, and weneed not; m have too much confidence in the good sense .of. our. present Chief Magistrate to prosumo that he believes so fearful a penalty as death for the stealing of any ?p?oiea of properly kdemanded by the" interests of society or the etemal principles of justice.

These * territories lie above the line of thirty-six thirty, c aud this bill is therefore a repeal of the Missouri Compromise, -which prohibited slavery in 1 all territories north of the line aforesaid. ' Whether this will prove of any real practical J importance to the South, we are not able to . say. We hope, however, that such may be one 1 of its results.
