We have carefully avoided saying any thing rela-
tive 10 the circumstances that new sxround Th0nas
3. Hamblin. II the absence Of Mr.. Bennett W
have not ~ inclined TO assume any individual re.
sponseihty even upon subject Of 80 much painful
interest. Mr.. Hsmbln's cause, however, is before
the world, and we do not feel at liberty TO withhold
an opinion His case presents general character,
The public have been called upon TO pronounce SO.
lemn Judgment and we can remain silent no longer.
The press has always exercised certain influence
over public opinion in this couRy and while il seeks
to punish the guilty it must sustain and uphold the
innocent. With reference the past history of MIR.
Hambln we have nothing to do ; some may sur
reud HIM with the gathered hate of years-olhers
may environ him with web Of accusation, drawn
cut In general termsb bat zoe shall not bring the in
discreons Of his youth as damnins witnesses against
the man. We look to the mmed ate case that has
produced this eonvulsion land we pronounce him
gultless. In proportion as we have discovered
disposition to use the name Of Miss Missouri
as pretext for arrayng certain influences around
Thomas s. Hamblin, so in like proportion have
our symPaihles been awakened and our energies
aroused Why is it that the spirit OF that lovely gr
is not permitted to rest? Why the grass torn from
new made grave and envsnomed magnliy permit
ted to spit upon the remains of the Innocent the love-
ly and the vlrtuons We believe that Hambn, IN
moment of generous enthusiasm opened an ark OF
kin dness TO receive that GIRL when the Dc ath-deang
deluge of mis- forum had immersed much that was
dear 10 her. We believe that he sent her forth like
bird OF premise, aden with the olive braRch-it has
been returned TO the God that made her, and on 1t
was stamped her innocence and vriuc. This matter
has undergone JUDICIAL investigation to certain ex-
tent, and so far Mr.. Hambin's Innocence has been
established. If he had any direct or indirect agency
bringing about her DEATH let the strong arm OF The
law fall heavily upon him. That is the only trlbu
nal known to the institutions Of The country, and
the moral sense of this community Will re- echo TO
our call If the municipal government have right
TO the obedience of its citizens its citizens have an
equal claim TO protection. Nay. greater, inasmuch
the guarantee Of personal safety, liberty and pro-
perty was the very end and object of the formation
Of il. In a court Of law, Hamblin can demand
specific accusation, in de6nite form but if public
caprice is 10 create tribunal, We know how often
the spirit that creates it hath salked abroad in the
CORY rags of riot and homicide. We upheld the evil
institutions Of the country--we venerate the in
stitTions of the land-and we are determined to
check, $50 far in US lies) any spirit opposed e the
settled laws of the land. We live in the city of New
Ysrk-we intend to remain here-for no where upon
the continents the law more jnsly administered, or
the preservation of peace aud order more scrupuous
ly and seduously guarded We feel it to be our duty
therefore, call upon every man who feels upon this
subject seek the remedy of the proper source if
they cannot fad il in the action Of the laws, they
can find it no where. The people of this city respect
the laws, and in doing So they respect themselves.
We trust that no circumstances may arise in which
we may find il necessary hereafter TO allude TO this
delicate and painful subjects for, while we feel be-
coming respect for the dead We are determined to
protect he living-when innocent.
To- Mr.. Jackson, the gentle man spoken Of in the
Herald as being present a, the drowning of Mr..
Jones on Monday morning last, called upon as yes
ierday in company with three other individuals who
were capszed IN the boat, and denied having invited
the unfortunate sufferer to leave the boat after the ac
cdcnt, or of pcrsuading or inducing him in any man
ncr to swim for the shore; and that the act was en-
tirely voluntary on the part Of Mr.. Jones.
