Crosa- ex amined—Did not know that a boy came f rom the prisoner, and was sent away again. Mr. George Saltill gave similar testimony. By Mr. J ust i ce ALDERSON—Of the stationers who brought their stamps to the office for inspection, some had forged stamps; one person had forged stamps to the amount of 2!. or Si., and he was not taken up. Leadbetter, one of the city marshalmen, was at the ap prehension of the prisoner. The prisoner at first pro duced two books from under the counter with stamps in, and some from other places. Forrester found some in the back room. Cro ss -examined —Th e prisoner took Forrester in the back room and pointed out where the stamos were. All the stamps were put into the witness's hand, and he pronounced them all to he forgeries, except three of -I.t. 6d. each, and several of other prices. The forged bill stamps amounted to 15, varying in price from Is. 61. to 6s. each. There were only two receipt stamps forged, and they were of Is. each. There were a great many genuine receipt stamps. Cro ss•examined—The forgeries are so well executed, that many tradesmen dealing in stamps would not be able to detect them. It required a very accurate inspection. Mr. Pressly was re-called, and, in answer to a question, said he could not recollect whether the prisoner asked him to point out the mode of detection. Witness requested him to take his stamps to the office, and he said he would. Their Loßnsuirs having consulted for some time with the Counsel on each side, The LORD CHIEF BARON, addressing the Jury, asked them if they were satisfied upon the evidence that the pri soner knew the stamps were forgeries ? It appeared that a great number of forged stamps were in circulation, and that they were so well executed, as to be difficult of detec tif"), even by the trade. The prisoner appeared only to have hewn nine months in business, and no false represen tation whatever had been proved against him. The SOLICITOR GENERAL said the Commissioner of Stamps had no wish whatever to press the charge, unless it should clearly appear that there was a knowledge that the stamp were forgeries. The J ury stated their opinion to be that the prisoner did not know the stamps were forgeries. Mr. ADOLPHUS, fur the prisoner, said the public were much indebted to the Commissioners for the manner in Which the prosecution had been conducted. The prisoner was then acquitted. NEW COURT. William Murdoch, a very genteel young man in ap- P"rkince, was indicted for stealing 120 lbs. weight of f 41 5, !aid i n t h e i n di ctment as the property of the Rev. l e _ Moore, th e Vi car o f S t. Pancras. !n other counts of „`,' indict ment t h e property was laid as that of the rtiatees under the Act of Parliament for the building of tieW churches. i t appeared, from the statements of Mr. AuoLritus, th at the prisoner was the verger and chapel-keeper of ..atnden Chapel, for which he received a fair salary, . Pri ng with hi s w if e near t h e chapel. On the night laid t b n x ~ the inlictment the p r i soner was seen , a b out 11 o ' c l oc k, a Policeman bringing the coals in a bag on his back fr arn the neighbourhood of th e chapel ; the officer, think ing the conduct of the prisoner suspicious, took him to the Itation• house. On being taken before the Magistrates the pri kher said he had been in the habit of sending hisown coals to the chapel when they had none, and coming late home on the evening in question, his wife told him they had no coals in the house, and he had better fetch some from the ;nape' i n return for those he had lent. The prisoner then abed the coals for the purpose of lasting him till Monday, When he intended to buy some. Several witnesses were called for the prosecution, who Pro ved the taking of the coals by the prisoner. Elizabeth Jane Horton, on behalf of the prisoner, bayed th e t a ki ng o f coa l s b y h i m to the chapel to light the es. Several hiehly respectable persons gave the prisoner an excellent character, in the course of the examination of The Jury expressed themselves perfectly satisfied. BIGAMY. Thomas Vyse was indicted for feloniously intermarry ing, cn the 20th of November, wi , h Jane Moore, his fanner wife, Sarah Ann Sherwood, being still alive. Elizabeth Frances Sherwood knew the prisoner at the bar. He paid his addresses to her husband's sister. Was Present at St. George's, Hanover-square, on the 18th of JULY, 1880, when the prisoner was married to Sarah Ann Sherwood, who was then 21 years of age.

Mt' COINIMON..SERGEANT in charging the Jury said, that if it was clear that sufficient publicity had been given in Publishing the banns, to enable persons to object who wished the fact of the prisoner being under age was of no eon l'quence. It was clear to the mind of the Learned Jud ge, that the first marriaae was contracted under cir cumstances not very creditable to those who had pro cured it. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty, and The COMMON.SERGEANr sentenced him to three Months' imprisonment in the House of Correction. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS-(THIS DAY). James Sawyer was indicted for stealing, on the 15th December last, a box value 25., 144 penny pieces, 240 halfpence, and six farthings, the property of John Volkman, coofectioner. The prosecutor's man was out on the day in question with his cart, he had delivered several quantities of con fectionery, and received the copper money in payment; he was returning about six o'clock in the evening, and left his cart for a few minutes at the turnpike gate in the East India road ; when he returned he missed the box, in which the money was, and gave an alarm ; suspicion fell upon the prisoner, who had been in the employment of, the Prosecutor, but discharged for dishonesty. A policeman went to the prisoner's lodgings at Stratford, and waited for him till he returned, which he did in about an hour after the robbery. On him was found 17s. Id. of copper, a nd a piece of beef, which he had just purchased. Among the money were six farthings. The prisoner said he had received the money through t he we e k f or hi s wor k, an d went cut on S atur d ay w i t h it to get silver for it. The Jury found Lim Guilty, and the Chairman sen tenced him to he transported for seven years. -Edward Drake was found guilty of stealing six loads of road grit, the property of Mr. Dexter, contractor.

EXECUTION OF JOHNSON, THE MURDERER.-(T RI DAY.) This morning this wretched culprit was executed at the Old Bailey, pursuant to his sentence, for the murder of Benjamin Couch Danhy. at Enfield, on the 19th of December. Shortly after his condemnation he appeared to regard the awful fate that awaited him with compara tive indifference, but that feeling gradually wore off as the short remains of time allotted for his existence be came more limited ; the pious exhortations of the Rev. Dr. Cotton, the Ordinary, and of Mr. Baker, who were most laudably employed in preparing him to meet his doom with resignation, contributed much to effect a great change in his conduct, and eventually led him to unburden his mind of the load of guilt which encumbered it. He then confessed that his sentence was a just one, and that he deserved to die ; but his confession tended to implicate the witness Cooper, who, he declares, cut the deceased first on the throat and cheek, and that afterwards the bloody deed was finished by himself. The confession was afterwards reduced to writing by Mr. Sheriff Humphery, whose humane attentions to the unhappy culprit have been most incessant. A c 'py of the confessio❑ will be found below. After having removed that load from his mind he became more reigned for a short time, when a visible change came over him : as the time approached he be came despairing, and at last fell into almost a state of torpidity, from which he could not be said to be roused up to the period of his execution. Yesterday afternoon his sister, a very decent-looking young seaman, visited him for the last time. On her part the interview was most affecting, but he appeared to be insensible to all feeling. His wise also visited him, but that interview seemed more like a formal one than one in which affection had any share. That might probably be ac counted for, by their having, for some time past, lived apart from each other, owing, as, as we understand, to his treatment of her. She is rather an interesting looking young woman, and is enceinte. She had hid two chil dren by him, hut fortunately they did not survive to wit ness their parent's disgrace. During the night the drop was placed at its usual sta tion, opposite the debtors'-door, Newgate, and at an early hour this morning:, a vast quantity of people assembled in the neighbourhood of it. We understood that a great many came all the way from Enfield to witness the execution of a man so well known among them as the culprit was. Between six and seven o'clock, the wretched culprit was visited by Dr. Cotton, Mr. Baker, and Mr. Sheriff Humphery, and they never left him until he was brought out on the fatal (bop. Shortly before eight o'clock, he was introduced into the press-room, leaning on Mr. Sheriff Humphery. and supported by the officers who were obliged to hold him, or he would have fallen ; in deed he appeared nearly in a state of insensibility, and so great an alteration was visible in his countenance, that he could scarcely be recognised by those who were present at his trial. During the process of pinioning, Mr. Under Sheriff Pitcher addressed a few words to him, imploring him to put his trust in Christ. He replied, with great difficulty, " I do, I do."—These were all the words he uttered, and his breathing appeared more like convulsive gasps than any thing else. At o'clock the solemn procession moved through the long and dreary passages of the gaol to the drop, and on his being assisted on the platform he was received by the immense assemblage with loud demonstrations of horror. The noise appeared to thrill through his body, and took away the last remnant of capacity to support himself. He was obliged to he held up by two men until, by the usual signal from the ordinary, he was launched into eternity. Some time ago a female was found drowned at Enfield, under very suspicious circumstances, and Johnson was questioned if he had any knowledge of that transaction. It will be seen from his confession that he denied having had anything to do with it. There appears, coupling the confession with Cooper's evidence, to be much mystery, as to whose knife it was with u hick the murder was perpetrated. Cooper swore that it was Johnson'. knife ; Johnson, in his confession, stated that he had no knife, and that it must have been Cooper's. Several knives were found upon Cooper when he was apprehended, and yesterday a person accidentally passing the spot where the murder was committed, found a clasp knife, with some blood on the handle, and it was transmitted to Mr. Wontner, the Gov rnor of Newgate. On its being shown to Johnson, he said he believed that to be the knife, tint he said he could not swear to it. At all events, from the notches in the blade, and the jagged ap pearance of the wounds inflicted on the deceased, is is not improbable that it was the knife used on that horrible occasion. We have been kindly favoured by Mr. Baker, whose valuable gratuitous assistance to unhappy culprits has been for many years productive of the best results, with some account of the conduct of Johnson, Fare, and Cooper, since their first committal to prison. On the morning after their entering the prison, he visited them, and afforded them religious consolation, for which they all appeared grateful, and expressed a desire to see him again. On the following day they appeared impressed with his remarks, but still there appeared no deep contri• than in any of them. On Sunday, the 30th December, Cooper appeared greatly depressed in spirits, wished to have no communication with the other two, and ap peared alarmed at the thought of seeing them. John son and Fare appeared los° greatly agitated. They con tinued in this state until Thursday, when there appeared a great alteration, and they seemed deeply affected. On Friday, when Air. Baker informed Johnson and Fare that Cooper was admitted King's evidence, their countenances betrayed greet alarm and dismay. After the trial, and sen t.nce of death was passed on Johnson, the mob in the prison yard gave a loud shout, which affected Johnson very much, as he was being conveyed to the con. demned cell. He became directly afterwards absorbed in mental devotion, during which Mrs. Pixie, the lady of one of the late Sheriffs, visited him in com pany with one of the Under-Sheriffs. His long trial had, however, completely exhausted him, and it was necessary to give hint a glass of port wine. From that time the state of his mind was such, that he could not he brought to enter into religious conversation. 'We understand that Johnson, about four or five years ago, while he was a gardener in a gentleman's establish ment, was the principal witness against the footman in the family, named Wood, for stealing a large quantity of plate. Wood was executed, but it was at that time sus pected that Johnson was a particeps criminis in that affair. The body of Johnson, after hanging the usual time, was cut down, and wts to be interred in a passage of the prison near the spot where the bodies of Thistlewood and his associates were buried. The following is a copy of Johnson's confession to Mr. Sheriff Humphery : Johnson said, " I had, with others, been drinking at the public-house, and afterwards, about eleven or half past, we left, accompanied with Danby, the deceased ; and, in going borne, Fare left us ; and then Cooper, with Wagstaff and me, being alone with Danby, Danby informed me that some one had robbed him, and I was so frightened for fear that I should be taken up for highway robbery, that I was determined not to leave, but get him to some place of safety ; and in passing his relation, the baker. I wanted to knock them up, but he would not let me, and said they were gone to bell, and se we passed on. But Ido wish that I had stopped there, then this would not have happened; but it is now too late. As we were going on, Cooper came up (he had been away above five mi nutes), and the moment Danby saw him, he said, in great agi tation, this is one of the chaps that robbed me, and he flew at him (Cooper) like a tiger, and said he would serve him just the same way he served a black man in the East Indies, and, in the scuffle, we all went down on the ground by the ditch ; and I do most solemnly say, that I did not trip up the deceased, and that Cooper milt down with the deceased, and he also was on the top of him (the deceased), and, while he was down, Cooper had a knife—a clasp knife, I think—but the night was so dark, I could not say which, and the point was as broad as my two fingers, and he was cutting him the deceased); and I do also most solemnly say, that I also took the knife, and cut Danby, and did help to kill him. But the knife was not mine, nor do I know where the knife came from. Cooper had it in his hand when the deceased was on the ground in the ditch. Knowing I must leave this world soon, I do most solemnly avow, before God, in whose presence I must soon appear, that Cooper first cut the deceased, and afterwards struck him, and afterwards I stood by and saw Cooper take something out of his pockets, he said I have three-halfpence, or one penny and one halfpenny, and we were both very much frightened, and left the deceased in the lane and went home across the fields. I do also most solemnly say, that when we left the public-house r e we had no idea of killing him; and I do not know who robbed him, but I suppose it must be Far e, as the money was found on e tie him, and it was proved he had been applying for f from i the parish. I can only say I had no han d in robbing him, either directly or indirectly ; and wh at possessed m eto pa r pate in killing him I know not, but after the deed was done I was ready to kill myself, and 1 now say that I ought to die for committing such an act. The knife which Cooper said, on his examination, was mine, and that it was a black-handled one and small blade, I do again most solemnly avow I had lost some time before, and had no knife with me when we left the public-house ; and the night was so dark I could not distinctly see the colour of the one that the deed was done with; and after it was done I threw the knife into the ditch, and suppos e , the knife not being found, that Cooper must have picked it up. The reason of Cooper's confession, I believe, was thinking j should tell of hint first, and have him convicted ; but we both said we should be hanged. I have no ill-will towards any man, and I now leave this world for a crime which I shud. der at. I had nothing to do with the murder of a female who was found drowned in a ditch at Enfield;and I do know nothing about it." Witness to the foregoing *mei:4W.

Lord ADOLPHUS FITZCLARENCE is to suc ceed Lord DENBIGH us one of the Lords of the Bed chamber. The death of the late KING disappointed the ardent expectations of many aspiring churchmen, who were perpetually currying favour with the most influential fa mily of tbe Coutt. One very Rev. person, whose glowing sermons at the Chapel Royal at Brighton were so bedecked and bedizened with flattery of the Monarch, even in his presence, that the KING himself, on more than one occa sion, was observed by the auditory to withdraw to the hack part of the Royal pew, whilst the expectant church man was rehearsinghis fulsome and adulatory compliments. These were so frequently repeated, as to create disgust ; and at length the pious person retired from his cure to a Prebendal Stall in the west of England. had the KING lived, this worthy man would have been made a Bishop. Lord DURHAM, in addition to his own ex tremely delicate health, has of late been visited by malty severe domestic calamities. In the summer of 1831, his Lordship's eldest son, CHARLES WILLIAM, by Lady LOUISA GREY—a beautiful youth, whose portrait, painted by Sir THOMAS LAWRENCE, and engraved by CousiNs, will be remembered by all who have seen it—died at Brighton in his 14th year; and, a short time previously to his departure on his mission to St. Petersburgh, he had the affliction to lose his third daughter, the Hon. HARRIET CAROLINE LAMETON, a young lady of great Personal endowments, who expired at Sudbrook, in her 18th year ; as well as his mother, Lady ANNE. WY N lINAEI, to w hone he seam affec tionately attathed, and who died in his arms. The Noble Baron and his family have been again plunged into mourn ing within these test' days, by the death of his second daughter, the Hon. SARAH GEORGIANA ELIZABETH, Who expired on Thursday last, at Sudtitook, at the age of 18, of the same insidious disease which carried of her hrvther and sister. WILLIAM HENRY LAMIITON, EA., father of Lord DURHAM, died of a pulmonary zonsuruption, at Pisa, in 1797, and he was buried in the English cemetery near Leghorn. Of Lord DURHAM'S issue by his first marriage with Miss Cliou,toriDELEY only one daughter now survives. _ On Monday week, between three and four in the morning, a person entered a public-house in the vil lage of Pontarlechey, near Llaugadoc, Carmarthensbire, and called for a pint of ale, and in his conversation com plained of being very much tired, having been walking the whole of the day collecting voters for the election on Thursday for ?dr. ADAMS. The publican had promised to call a neighbour tbie morning to " go to coal," and he left the man in the house during his absence. In his progress to his neighbour's he saw a horse tied to the hedge. It sti uck him as being very singular that a horse should be tied to the hedge at that time in the morning, and he began to suspect the person in the house. However, in returning from his neighbour's, he met the person coming towards the horse. He immediately asked him if that was his horse? He said 6' Yes, that his brother had lent it to him." A timber-pallier happening to pass, recog. deed the horse as his brother's, and the culprit was irought back to the public-house, and placed under the charge of a miller who was there, while they went to consult a neighbour. However, during their absence, the prisoner made his escape by knocking down the miller. The two men who had gone to their neighbour's for ad. vice, had not been there many minutes before a boy be longing to the house came in, and said there was Some person in the stable hiding in the straw.

ECOND► EDITION. SUN-OFFICE, Five o'clock. We have just received the following : FRENCH PAPERS OF SATURDAY. The Moniteur has no official article. (From the Messager des Chambres.) There is no doubt whatever that the report in the peti tions relative to the Duchess of Berri will he made to morrow (Sunday.) It is added that the Ministry think to obtain the simple order of the day on all these petitions, which are of two kinds. Some call for the execution of the laws, and others desire that the Princess may be sent out of France. The order of the day would be wholly conformable to the wishes of the Ministry. It is said, that before coming to a resolution on this point, it has been wished to know the opinion of M. D'Appony, and to learn what Austria would think of prolonging the detention of the Princess till a general peace. It is stated that the answer removed all uneasiness respecting the consequences of such a resolu tifn; that Austria seemed to feel very little interest i n th e artexopts at Marseilles, and an expedition of the West. The Northern Courts, it seems, have not appeared inclined to make any serious remonstrance, and after their prepara tions and precautions, it has been decided in the Council not to propose the law which was announced, and in the Committee to propose tho order of the day, as we have stated, (From the Quotidienne.) To-day, at two o'clock, above 1200 young men, be longing to all classes of society, assembled to express to M. de Chateaubriand the enthusiasm excited in them by his late publication, and their entire assent to the opinions and sentiments which he has so eloquently expressed. M. Agle Thomas, in the name of his comrades, addressed the following words to the great author : " Sr a,-Your noble voice has found an echo in all truly French hearts ; you have branded all that degrades our social order ; you have worthily pleaded the cause of France; you have rendered splendid homage to the greatest glory of our age, a national glory, if ever there was any such, because it has rejected all fo reign aid. The French youth are grateful for it ; you will always find them on the road of honour, always ready to make new sacrifices when required, to se cure to the country repose, glory, and stability. Accord ingly they believe that they ought to exclaim with you in addre ,, sing Madame, " Madame, your son is nay King." This last phrase was received with universal bravos. M. de Chateaubriand appeared to be deeply affected : He replied, that thanking them for this mark of esteem, expressing his admiration of the generosity of the French youth, and concluded with saying...." The future, gentle men, belongs to you, you will see better days than those which I have witnessed ; but though 1 am a man of times that are gone by, I am at least certain, that in speaking to the French youth of glory, of liberty, and honour, I am using a language which, in our country, will never grow old." M. de C. then returned personal thanks to them, ob serving, however, that the words which they had just heard were very serious. "As for me, said he, I am advanced in years, and do not fear persecution ; but you young men"—his voice was interrupted by a thousand cries—" Persecutions we brave them ; the future will belong to us." It was voted on the spot to give a gold medal to the noble defender of the noble captive of Blaye. It will bear on one side The grateful Youth of France; on the other Your Son is my Ring.

SPIRIT OF THE PUBLiC We suppose that the Times those contemporaries " who hay' as well as their judgment" on ballot. Haweier this may be, never led us to omit either distin, own opinions, or distinct answers of the Times. We have only to bi will be equally distinct in their grounds of defence and attack, and we promise them that we shall not be the parties to exchange specific reasonings for vague and irrevelant acrimony. Their article of Saturday again talks of " the present frank and manly mode of election," as contrasted with the " mystification and duplicity" of the ballot. We deny altogether that the present mode of election is frank and manly. We assert that it is as much the reverse of frank and manly as a system of elec tion can be. The Times itself, in the article of De cember 27, admitted that at the recent elections thousands- of voters had been compelled to vote in favour of candidates whom they cons&en tiously disapproved. Here is " frankness and manliness" displayed in an exquisite fashion, and with a blessed effect ! In which part of the business shall we look for these virtues ? the conduct of the landlord, when he frightens his tenant into an immoral promise ? In that of the tenant, when he commits the first sin of making the promise, or the second sin of fulfilling it There is nothing more flagrant than the disregard of veracity which taints all these compulsory pro mises—chiefly on the part of the landlord, who is the prime author and beginner of the deception„ Not only is open voting not frank and manly—it is in the highest degree unfavourable and discouraging to these valuable qualities. For who is it that thrives under open voting ? The man who makes his vote subservient to his worldly dealings—who devours his conscientious scruples, and contradicts his political principles without resistance or remorse. And who is it that suffers under open voting? The man with whom veracity is an inviolable duty, and who will not falsify his political principles, though they led him to martyrdom. Open voting places the perfectly " frank and manly" elector under the most trying arid calamitous circumstances ; while the supple elector is under no difficulties at all, and may even make his vote a means of advancing his interest. We should be glad to know whether those three poor carpenters at Oxford, whom the Times announced as having been turned off by their employer for refusing to vote for Sir Charles Wetherell, have discovered that open voting affords either recompense or encourage ment to " frankness and manliness ?" The expres sion " open voting" in this case is misleading : it calls up ideas directly the reverse of what the reality of the case presents—ideas of truth-telling, and undisguised statement of the genuine thoughts. We are told that it is a very good thing that a man should "speak out his mind openly" at the poll The voter may, indeed, speak openly, but we con tend that he speaks out not his own mind, but the mind of some oilier person, whom he does no: choose to offend. A more exact epithet on this occasion would be " unprotected voting." But if men tail, prefer to say open, let them recollect that it is only open-mouthed voting, not open-minded voting. The Times persists in ascribing " mystification and dripli eity"to the ballot. We are perfectly ready to join issue with them on this point, as well as on the " frank- ness and manliness" which so much delights them in unprotected voting. For every lie which the ballot will introduce, we engage to show them a worse lie which it excludes. And we are prepared to prove that its ultimate tendency is to cut up by the roots all those compulsory promises, from whicu alone !Trig arises. If the Times can demonstrate the contrary, let them do so; if they cannot, let them cease to assume it in the epithets which they apply to the ballot. One argument in the Times of Saturday certainly does astound us. They argue that the ballot cannot be an effectual provision for secrecy of voting, because no former Statesman has ever yet adverted to it as a check to bribery ! Thi argument will have some force, when it shall be shown that any English Statesman ever seriously cared either to prevent bribery, or to procure an easy tad undisturbed vent for the consciences of voters. Perhaps the Timex will reperuse some of those admi rable articles on the Reform Bill which appeared in :heir columns in the spring of 1831, when the interests and hope of the Government coincided with those of the people. They will there see the dark arid vicious workings of the unreformed representative system laid bare with a master hand ; they will see he reason why English Statesmen, either holding power or hoping to hold power, by means of that system, have been smitten universally with that in curable squint, which disqualified them from looking •tra.ghtly or intently on the public happiness; they will see why even the most keen-sighted of these Statesmen have preferred sham and puppet voting o real and free-will voting. They will see why we have had gagging Bills, arid an insupportable burden of national debt and profligate legislation of every description; and why we have not had, not so much as in design, either good or cheap law, national edu cation, or guarantees for the genuine expression of the electoral conscience. The same men do not deal out blows with one hand, and blessings with , he other. We thank the Timex, however, for has'. ng felt so strongly the evil of intimidation, as to propose a remedy of their own, wive!' they tell us "is worth a thousand ballots." We approve of their proposal of prohibiting intimidation by law, aid of exacting a declaration from every Representa tive that no such practice has been resorted to w,th his knowledge for the purpose of promoting his election. This will affix the stamp of national odium on such iniquities; but it still do no .nore. For as to punishing the man of power, either for illegal threats, or for illegal vote, engeance—we maintain that this will not be possible in one case out of ten thousand. How will you discover, with anything like legal cer :ainty, whether a man has or has not had just cause to dismiss his tenant—to turn away his clerk or his journeyman—to withdraw his hairless from its tradesmen ? You may forbid threats ; but the con sequences of the superior's displeasure are well on. .t,..accad by the dependent wi , hout any threats--,- intelliguntur,magis quam audiuntur. The additional disrepute arising from pronounced illegality may nake powerful men a little more circumspect in their means of compassing coercion; but the real , acility for accomplishing it, the real motive for at iempting it, and the real necessity for submission to it on the part of the tenant, wilt remain altogether unabated, in spite of the cobweb enactments sug gested by our contemporary. Can the like imp( a ertce be predic , ed of the ballot ? There are many who say so; but there are few who really believe it, aid there is not a man among those few who can ,rove it. We said before, and we now say again, hat the invisible signs of thought are just as lIIUCII tut of the reach of coercion as thought itself: that voter alone in the balloting closet can neither dend any one, nor propitiate any one by an unseen twist of his hand; and that in the absence of all Itch counter-inducements, he will vote according to tne genuine dictates of his conscience. It is by the allot, arid by the ballot alone, that the vote of an -tlector can be rendered self-determined and unas ailable.—Morning Chronicle.
