BEAUTIES OF JACKSONISM.
Johnson Senator of the United States from

were as pure as the angels at the right hand
ofthe throne of God the Jackson party would
put them down, as sure as there was God in
Heaven
A Representative, Mr.. Ramsay, of Pa. in

A Vllain-The annals of our courts sci
dom ever present SO revolving picture of pre-
meditated villany, as that in the case of Isaac
Bishop, who was tried and convicted before
the Superior Court in Fairfield CO. From the
Danbury Recorder, we make the following
extracts:
Isaac Bishop was first arraigned and tried
upon the charge of Adultery with Nancy
Weed, the wife of James B. Weed, found
guilty and sentenced to the State Prison for
five years. Indictments were also found a.
gainst him for poisoning the wells of Joseph
Smith, Holly Bell, and Thaddeus Hoy, with
arsenic, upon which he was found guilty. and
sentenced to States Prison for Life. Bishop
was man of property, estimated at from I
to $4,000, and had heretofore been man o
responsibility. Weed had commenced an &C
ton against him for the seduction Ofhis wife
in which he recovered before the County
Court, $4,000 damages. Bishop removed i
bv appeal to The SUPERIOR Court where it il
now pending. In this suit, all his real estate
had been attached. The individuals whose
wells had been poisoned had also commenced
suits for the recovery of damages, on which
his property was attached, and which was al
80 pending.
During his Imprisonment in gaol, he had
frequently expressed his determination not t.
be removed to the State Prison. Mrs. Weec
his paramonr, arrived in town during the sit
ting of the court, and on Sunday found mean.
to deliver him shrOud. The sheriff had made
his arrangements to transport him to the
States Prison on Monday morning; but upur

agony. He had taken large quantity of o.
plum, as he stated, on Sunday about five o.
clock in the afternoon. To his physician he
said he took an ounce. He fingered unit
Tuesday morning, when he died. A letter
directed to the sheriff was found in his shrouG
of which the following are extracts:
