case of the least interest came before the Learned Gen-

THE LATE TREASON TRIALS.
TO THE EDITOI? OF THE SUN.

SIR,—I perceive that the jury have found O'Brien
guilty, but have recommended him to mercy.
This is, in my opinion, as it ought to be; but how
different from %:hat passed some time since at the
Old Bailey. No sounds of mercy fell from the lips
of the foreman of the jury who settled the fate of
Cuffey and Co. One would have thought that the
heart, if not the head, would have prompted to the
good deed.

Moreover, the jury had broad ground whereon
to have built substantial reason for a merciful re-
commendation. These Chartists were simply fools ;
and their wildest doings nothing more than the pur-
blind blundering of besotted imbecility. The Crown
knew this—hence the employment of the
Powell and Co. to train and ripen the affair for
the law. These Chartists, simpletons like, became
entangled in the meshes of the snare woven by
the Crown. They were entrapped, and " Found
Guilty."

Seeing these things, it does occur to me, that
the jury did but half their duty in the verdict which
they gave. They lost two opportunities of acting
nobly and generously. The one, in neglecting to
enter on record their detestation of the Crown insti-
gators of the " treason," the other, in withholding
the merciful recommendation when it might with so
much grace have been tendered.
Truly there seems to me more magnanimity in
the Irish than in the London verdict.

M. DE LAMARTINE. -
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlR,—Allow me to express the great pleasure it has
afforded me on observing the energetic manner with
which you have advocated and vindicated the great
Lamartine.

It must afford consolation to every philanthropic
mind to observe (notwithstanding the partial out-
breaks) that France, yes, military France, is making
rapid strides towards teaching the world the great
value of the sublime precepts of peace and goodwill
amongst men, and earnestly do I hope that no un-
towardly military spirit may rise to mar the godlike
prospect of the reign of peace on earth and the fulfil-
ment of that which is its natural effect, figuratively
described as beating swords into ploughshares and
spears into pruning hooks, enabling every man to sit
under his own vine and fig-tree, and none to make him
afraid.

Judging from accounts, Lamartine is, in my
opinion, oiie of the greatest and most extraordinary
statesmen France has ever produced (notwithstanding
the envious sneers made by parties, either ignorant or
corrupt). France, and the cause of humanity, are
deeply indebted to him; and I have no doubt that
Fraace and posterity will duly appreciate his extra-
ordinary merits, although be has had, and doubtless
will have, many severe trials and troubles to endure,
so long as he persists in advocating honesty and truth,
for it is said that men like darkness rather than light,
because their deeds are evil. So men accustomed to
hypocrisy and corruption will hate Lamartine, so long
as he adheres to such a line of conduct; and if piety
accompany his other great attainments, he will un-
doubtedly gain that which the world cannot give nor
can it take it away—viz., peace of mind—which will
be of far greater importance at the final period of life,
than all the glory of a Bonaparte or a Wellington, or
that which the most splendid earthly attainments can
bestow.

If the French nation be guided by the influence
and example of their great Laniartine, my idea is
that France will, at no great distance of time, bathe
great beacon of the world, and thus enable the nations
of the earth to progress onwards toward the full
enjoyment of liberty, equality, and fraternity.
Lamartine's conduct and example fully coincides
with the following sentiments :
"It is nobler to induce by argument than to compel
by physical energy. Rational conviction is permanently
in its effects; those of physical compulsion continue
no longer than the agency is exerted, and the recoil,
where there is any degree of elasticity extant, is
always in proportion to the pressure employed. Let
us, therefore, in all our political expressions and
transactions, carefully. guard against even the ap.•
penance of violence or intemperance of manners.
We shall find it much easier and snore convenient to
prevent the storm than to appease its rage. Much
more agreeable and beneficial to conciliate and employ
the kind affections than to encounter and rule the
angry passions of men. Violence of any description,
and in any case, should be the last resource. In
politics especially it is liable to be abused to the worst
of vices and purposes. Its sanguinary introduction
into political systems) and internal animosities is,
perhaps, the most prolific source of all temporal evils
and miseries in the world. 0 thou sword ! when
wilt thou cease
.to devour ? 0: thou thundering
artillery, when lit thou cease to roar ? Alike insa-
tiable and irresistible, ye are the curse and terror of
the human race; sin is your parent; perdition is
your award."—Yours, refpectfully,
PHILANTHROPY.
