The spirit that animated the Meeting, yesterday, at the Crown and Anchor, accorded well with the occasion. One lively, cordial, and expressive senti ment of validation pervaded as numernaa and re. spectsble a company as could be expected to assemble simultaneously et such a sudden notice. None who witnessed its enthosissm, and are acquainted with the feelings that prevail through the Metropolis, ran en. tertain a doubt, that had en adequate interval been afforded for circulating the notice of this celebration, that the largest room of the Tavern would have been losaficient to contain the persons who would have I peeped to join in it. Even as it happened, although ebe colic. was so short, and two days only inter vened between the occurrence end the celebration, above 150tentlemen were present, and the room that was prqgWed for their accommodation very early overflowed. The 'saltation that prevailed was universal, and unalloyed with any feeling that was not cordially congenial with joy, escept the feeling of indignation that could netarally arise from the injuries that or. easioned the redress and triumph which the company had ailseintited to c.tebrate. W• iecollect the tri. ampha of the Friend' of Liberty on the acquittal of Maar, Tooxt, and itztwatt; and we have joined in the evjuicings that have taken place at later periods ou the viodication of the victims of viulated liberty ; we have mingled with congenial tpi ti ll in many others of tile commemorations which, in our times, have lien deemed worthy of beitie celebrated by the Friends of Freedom—hut we re member ouue that have afforded gratifications more ermined and consplet• than the celebration of yes terday. It was not the commemoration of an Decor. tense passed away, nor the progress or triumphs of truth, justice, or liberty, in the abstract, nor the bare acquittal cud escape of a persecuted astute,' who had provoked the flagrance of corruption by I having deserved well of his country. It was the celebration of the triumphs of an injured man, whose prison was in company before us, who pre sented himself to notice, not as an " acqmilled felon," but as a character without fault, and without suspi cion. Ile bad been not only completely vindicated, bet in some degree redressed; had been rotivoled with compensation for the wrongs he had been made to suffer, and avenged by the law on the libeller of his reputation ; had brought to silence the tongues of his false accusers, and espied to shame and in. dignatiun the pretence, of his individual persecutors, and the delusions they had spread throughout the land to justify the exercise of arbitrary and op pressive power. The impression produced upon the Public mind by the issue of his trial on Saturday, will not easily be elfaceri.—The import. mace of It is evident, end is confessed by she ad vocates of Ministers themselves in the defences they are nuking in the Journals devoted to their cause. The courier had asserted that the con shut of *roisters was in no sap comprehended in OW verdict which established the innocence of ‘‘. Ann ; and, last night, it put forth an elaborate and ap. paiently desiii-oflicial article, to prove that Sinsistees, sheath they had made much more serious charges spinet WAIID than even those in CLeasame's libel, were per fectly exonerated from the effect of the disproval so satifacturily established by WARD—that Ministers were sutler uo necessity of clearing themselves, for they were justifird in allowiag their instrument to be sactifized by the special Act which they had for. tonstely obtained for their own protection, — end that the Jury was therefore actually jii.ti• bed in bringing in a verdict against Ct.EIIVIT. " .I'lol could, in fact," ujs the Courier, " have done nothing else, beset's, the publication was proved against him, and he put in no justi fication of. the troth"—For one obvious reason, *c suppose, because there nos do 'intb in the Libel 1 .)
