This man WAS tiled on the 95,h inst. before
the Circuit Court of the u. S. in this City,
Judges Marshall and Tucker sitting-on the
charge OF embexzlng and sscretiDg letters
from the mail with which he was entrusted,
AS carrier. He was charged with two offen-
ces the one for smbezzng, &c. letter con-
ta'n'ns the half Of note deposited in the

deposited in the Post Office at Charlottes.
vile, ny MIR. Opie Norris, and addressed to
Mr. Edmund Anderson Mr.. .Sfanard. for
the U. States, and Mr.. Robert g. Scott for
the prisoner. The proofs of the taking were
strong and indeed conclusive, though the sit
nation oil the prisoner, burdeDrd with the sup
port OF numerous family, and his irreproach-
able character as mail-cariier for nearly go
years, inspired universal sympathy. The
jury retired for few minutes, and returned
with verdict Of guilty
The counsel for the prisoner then intimated
to the Court, that he should at some future day,
move ar arrest of judgmest, on the ground,
that the 18th section of The act Of Congress,
passed April 30tb $40, does not embrace the
case of cxrrier OF the mail that section en-
bracing only those " employed in any of the
Departments of the General Post Office
suggesting however, ifthe same question had
ever been considered and decided by the court,
mo attempt to disturb that decision would be
made-The court intmated that theiGnestion
had not as far as il knew, been raised or decid-
ed.
We understand, an impression prevails at
Washington that the letter from the member
OF the Committee lin late Enguirpr) was in
tended to denounce the mass of the western
Delegation. We presume the writer of that
letter (whose name can now he no secr.t) could
never have meant any such thing-fur, the
Information which he must have received at
Washington, ought to have prevented him
from taking up any such impression.-Whe
Edwards's memorial was first submitted to
the II. of X. we stated and upon the best
authority, that many of the Western Repre-
sentaiIves had expressed their strongest con-
yIction OF the futlty ofthese charges.-Whe
Mr.. Crawford's letter subsequently came out
we understand that some Of the leading men
81 the West, openly and publicly avowed the
! opinion that the Vindication was not only SAL
tSfdctory, but conclusive.

excited In Pennsylvania. Gen. Jackson is 60

The Senate ofthe U. S. il is said, have rati-
fled the late Treaty with Britain, after sug-
costing some importont amendments. They
sat until dusk on Saturday night, and il is
whispered, had some acarni debating. The
r'ghf 81 search supposed To be in certain de-
gree conceded by the Treaty. is presumed to
have produced the difficulty. "This (sa;d
gentleman in Washington u would resist, my
self, TO death. dctest, as much as any man
can do, this nefarious traffic in human II sh !;
| but will never consent 10 coDcede this right,
which ought TO he kept sacred by US, for any
purpose short Of our o,cn safety much lie SIS
to go crusading for African freedom."-An
idea prevails AT Washington, that there are at
least 90 of the Senate, who are opposed to
relinquishing or jeopordising oar right-and il
| requires @ Sds to ratify. The amendments are
presumed to take care of this right; aud are
sufficiently guarded.
We understand that Gov. Yates has come 10
the resolution Immediately after the adjourn
ment Of Congress, to convene the Legislature
of IN Y. for the purpose Of demonstrating the
Electoral law, though so recently drcided-
the meeting TO take place, towards The end Of
July or the lst Of August. We are assured
tbat whether he calls or not, Mr.. Crawford
will certainly receive the votes of that state.-
A northern paper states, as il by way of in
ducement, that If Gov. Yates will come for
ward openly and maDfully, he n,ay be Governor
as long he pleases r-and that MIR. Adams
will get the vote of the statr.--The last Alba
ny Argus traverses any such possible caIcuIa-
ton, when it says: " Events fully confirm us
in the belief that the nomination Of Messrs.
Young and Root, will be sustained by az large
majority as the republican ticket, when op-
posed, has ever been favored wiih.n
