! The Boston Journal, o Temperance
paper, thus concludes sems remarks upon
the verdict Of the Jury IN the case Of the
Rev. Mr. Cheeyer and Deacon Stone VI
Salem
"The best friends Of Temperance can
do no greater service TO il than by con-
forming to the laws. Let the discussion
Jet it be encouraged. Does he who
writes libeIs do it good!--does he who 10
iatemperately te m?erate do it good who
uses language so disgu ting, which il spo-
ken in the streets by boys, would carry
them to the House of Correction? They
mistake the character OF the American
people, If they think they are to be libel
led into Temperance. The facts should
be communicated IN mild, tender, and
dispassonate manner--they should be led
as mother leads her child, nVt a. q
slave-drives his slaves. There are names
associated among the agents Of temper
ance, which should be placed among the
philanthropists and benefactors Of the ago,
who labor in the cause kindly and afiec-
tionately, to lead men in the still waters Of
righteousness. Let il be understood that
you d" not encourage forcs or violence,
which must disgrace cause, and raise
against it power which all the genius
and talents of great men cannot oppose. ]"
Captain IM;ller's CGss.-Thres witnes-
ses retained by the United States in the
case of Captain Miller, were removed on
Friday from Bel,vue TO the City Prison.
They had indictments also psndiag n
gainst them, but becoming States svi-
dence, they will most probably escape tri-
al, and have noLle prossqai entered up
for their Liberation. 1t would seem from
this circumstance, however, that the State
does not quit its hold upon the Captala.
The next trial was put otto October, with
"a view ofhearing from the court in Bos-
ton on some difficult point Of jurisdiction,
but as the sessions Of the two courts fall
upon different days, it 10 NOT possible to
communicate for six months to como.

Of impsllng the boat over the surface of
