CALLED STEADY HABITS.

ShLLED STEADY HABITS
The publications made by the indig-
nant and incensed friends of civil liberty,
were at FIRST discredited-t could not be
credited by many humane and benevolent
men-that any state in this union, that
any people protesting to be civilized
particularly protesting to be Christians,
could be guilty ofsuch deliberate and stu
dled atroci'y as was represented TO be
perp-iraled in The case Of Sellick Os6orne.
The most incredulous can no longer
dcubt-the truth, the whole truth, is con-
fessrd by the sheriff of Litchiield in for
NAL publication, ayowed and given TO the
pnbfic under his own signature, and with
additional circumstances which too plain.
~ declare that even the representations
| OF MIR. Osborn's friends were not more
strong IN observation or Representation
than the actual transactions warranted.
he case, however, has unlolded ano.
'her trait of the Perfection OF civil order
OF the charity and love of justice Of that
KIND CT moral government called by way
! oil pre-emlnenCe the government ofsteady
habits :--look at the following facts, CT.
tizens OF America, and talk no more of
l
sItorial tribunals
Il was charged on the sheriff hat he
had put into the same apartment with
/ Mr.. Osborne--a mad man who had re.
Gently murdered young woman-this is
/ acknowledged but as paIliation, it is
SAID there was another msr put into the
same room who was very aih!edc!
Il was charged on the sheriff ,ha, Mr..
| Osborn had been put into the same room
with a man charged with murder--in
pallia,ion OF this, it is stated that this
man was tried and acquitted but mark
what follows
The man was acquitted, but the cour,
ordered hiE 10 pay The costs of prosecute.
on and he was kept in confinement, be-
cause he was not able to pay the costs
OF the prosecution on Il charge of which
he had been acquitted
In future then il is only necessary ia
charge man Of murder--and after his
acquittal to saddle him with costs, he
undcrgocs the punishment OF guilt the
piunder Of his property, and the odium
Of the charge.
This is specimen indeed of Connects
Observation-Disclosures --liberty--justice--
religion a government established or sus
tanned by such diabolical means cannot
stand --or The very example must be des
truclive of the liberties ofthis land--the
voice of God and the hand of man unite
