SOUTH AMERICA,

We have been too much in the habit OF
considering the South Americans, as a
people unqualified for the enjoyment OF
freedom. We have believed the inbabi
tanls OF this continent, to have been in the
state OF the captive, who bad been coG6n.
ed for the space OF forty years, in the Bas>
tile, on bis emancipation, he turned with
adherence from the beams of the sun;
when transported 10 the place Of bis ma.
tiv,ly, be beheld strange faces under bis
paternal root; bis friends and relatives, the
associates of his early years, were slum
bering beneath the sod, and he requested
to be carried back to bis darkness, his dun
geon and his letters, once more 1t is TO-
deed highly complimentary TO North A..
merican vanity, to indulge in the convic.
ton, that the inhabitants of the Southern
Continent, are as incapable OF enjoying
freedom, as The poor wretch was, when
emancipated from the Bastile But bow
much more pure is the joy which philan-
thropist feels, when he discovers the
growth, enlargement, and expansion Of the
free mind, in those regions, formerly dar>
kened by the shadows of slavery and ig.

FREDERICKSBURG, May 81, l8s3.--The
Spring term Of the Superior Court OF Law
for Sport.yIvauia county, commenced its
session at this place, on Monday last. The
only trial that excited any interest, was
the case of the Commonwealth against
Graves, who was, in November last, to-
gether with man of the name OF Creary,
committed to Jail, on the charge OF having
counterfeited notes on the State Bank OF
North Carolina, to very large amount.
Creary, in the course of the winter, bav-
ing applied for the writ Of hobeas corpus
was carried to Richmond, where, upon
rendering bail, he was released from i'm
prisonment. On Monday, be was dischar-
ged. the Grand Jury not having found a
true bill against him. On Thursday,
came on the trial OF Graves, who has been
in confinement since he was arrested. The
prosecution, on behalf of the common
wealth, was conducted by G. L. Steven
son, Esq !; and the defence by P. r. Bar
bour and John Il. Lomax, Esq'rs. The
argument was ingeniously sustained Oh
both sides. On the part OF the prosecu-
ton, il vas conteoded, that possession con.
stitsleG sufficient evidence OF the forgery,
especially, when the prisoner could rem
der no satisfactory account how he obtain
ed that possession. The defence was re-
duced to three propositions LIST. Were
the notes charged in the indictment aciu'
aliy counterieits 4? end, Were they coun.
terleited by Graves? and 3d-Were they
counterfeited within the jurisdiction ofthI'
court? The first point was not controver..
ted. On the second, the chief force OF
the argument rested. The prisoners
counsel re butted the assertion advanced by
the commonwealth attorney, that poss-
ession was sufficient evidence of guilt; in
PRODUCING also several circumstances to ac>
count for the possession, whereby its sus'
picious effect might BIZ destroyed. This
principle appeared to meet the approba-
ton OF the court. The third proposition,
however, was so concIusively made out,
the want Of jurisdic,ion-the physical i'm
possibility OF fabricating such quantity
of notes in the space OF few bours, was
so evident-that the jury, after retiring
for lew minutes, brought in verdict OF
not guilty.
