| nown, that most distressing sickness
in his family, obliged him to leave Pm
iladeLtihia, a fen days before the Constr
luton was signed but nor before ALL
the great Principles Of that instrument
| mad been discussed and agreed upon.
In 1888, we find CALEB STRONG
a member of the Convention OF Mas
lSachusetts, appointed to take the report
led Constitution of the United States into
consideratiOn-Those who recollect
those interesting dmes-and those who
will refer to the proceedings Of the
August Body-will find, that lmmedl-
ately after the Convention was ORGANIC
ed, CALEB Strong informed that IL
iusriOus body of the cause which pre-
vented his signing the Constitution, and
OF his most hearty concurrence in every
a-1icie ofit. In the list of those worth
les that RATIFIED this Palladium Of
our Liberties, will De found the name of
CALEB STRONG.
In 1899, the Constitution Of the u
nited States went into opertiOn.-In
that year we find, that CALEB
STRONG was one of the first Sena-
tors Of the United States, appointed to
organize, and administer that Constitu-
ton. In this high, and digniGed sta
ton, he continued until 1874 period
OF Eight Years-lnd then, with the
great WASHINGTON, whose con-
iidence he preeminently enioyed-re-
tiret to private life, after having ex-
pended TWENTY-FIVE Years in
! the service Of his country. The bright
days OF PROSPERITY then 6eamed on thqt
country
Where voas CALEB STRoyc III 4" the bright
days 7 prosperity ?" We answer
On his eState-enjoying the soul-sat-
,isfying reflection, Of having assisted his
country IN the trying times Of adUeI'-
sity and having lived to see her tor
eJul, PROSPEROUS, HAPPY, and TNDE-
PENDENT. Bat his repose was Of short
duration.
In 1900, the voice Of 1860 Of his
| tellow-Citizens called him to the Chief
Msgistracv Of Ias4achlserts.--In 8Ol,
that voice, augmented to 25.452, and
1902, and 1903, to 29,l99; il 1904, to
3o,Oll in 1905, to 45,204 and in
1906, to 36,692-has repeated the call
and he has 0beyed H.
Such has been the PUBLIC LIFE-
suCh the IMPORTANT SERVICE s render
ed his country BY CALEB STRONG.
And the imputation Of negligence, I'M
taithlulness or personal emOluments
has never been breathed on any part Of
his conduct,
Thus we find, from official docu-
ments to which every citizen can have
access, that CALEB STRONG, was
In 1775,
One Of the Committee ofsqfety -
Frnm 1875 to 1779.
A Member Of the Revolutionary Gen.

which acourt consisting Of four judges finds
itself unable to decide, and therefore as the
crime with which the prisoners stand charged
mas not been committed, the court can only
direct them to be discharged. This is done
! with the less reluctance because the discharge
does not aceuit them from the offence which
there is probable cause for supposing they
! have committed, andifthose whose duty it is
to protect the nation by prose cutting offenders
against the laws shall suppose those who have
been charged with treason to be proper OBJ
iects for punishment, they will, when pos
sessed of less exccptionable testimony, and
when able to say at what place. the offence has
been committed, institute fresh proceeding
against them. s.
! The order Of the court syas as folospss:
The arguments ofthe attorney general andof
the Attorney of the q. S. for the district of
Columbia, and the arguments of counsel for
the prisoneg having been heard; and the re-
: cord of the circuit court for the. county OF
Washington containing the order by which
che said Samuel Swartwout was committed on
the charge of treason In levying war against
the. United States, and the testimony or which
the, said commitment was made having been
inspected and attentiyely considered, the court
is of opinion that the testimony does not fur
nish probable cause for supposing that the said
Samuel Swartwous has levied war against the
United States, and does therefore direct that
he be forthwith discharged from the custody
of the marshal.

AMERICAN. TREATY.
We have some reason for believing lsays
the Times Of July IL s9a6t esh England
and America has been received by govern
Jnent Tie chief objectionthati is understood
to be made is the right of searching American
vessels. Private information has however led
us to suppose that this might have, been waved
On the part of the British government, if the
Americans would have suffered English a.
gents to reside in their ports, to see to the ho-
ma fde unloading of the colonial produce of
the West-India islands, prior to its being ship
ped for Europe.
