Secondly -That the poor are withheld from
their just rights by the present expensive la"

opposition to the spirit of the Constitution,
Fourthly the working classse are with

Filthy That the poor are oppressed under
the present system of unequal taxation.
Sixthly-That the mere circumstance OF
mans not being a freeholder disquaities him, by
law, for an election to Offices OF honor or profit

rich.
In addition to the above considerations. might

Trial and Condemnation of the Nmderers-
On Monday and Tuesday last, Peter and Lee,
the two negroes charged with the murder of Pc.
ter U. Ware, on The 25th of last month, were
brought TO trial, and after patient, and in the
case Of the latter. most Iaborlous investigation,
were found guilty. aud sentenced to BE- executed
on Friday. the 18th day Of October The trials
excited much interest, and the judgment of the
Court was IN perfect accordance, with the con
seriousness which all who heard the testimony felt,
that the accused were guilty. One Of them, Pc.
ter, did not hesitate, almost at the moment of his
arrest to make free and luil confession of the
horrid deed. This was sufficient for his conyic.
ton. Lee, however, who even now soIemnIy
asserts his innocence. was convicted upon eyi.
dence altogether circumsfaatiak, and wholly in.
dependent Of the confession of his acconplice.
The testimony against him consisted of long
chain of circumstances, SO perfect and unbroken.
so linked one with another, that the most positive
proof itself could scarcely have established his
guilt more conclusvely.
