short-sighted adherents aud tmid followers in 9th

trolling those elections are well understood and

THE CAPTURED NEGRoEs.-An article has been
cited from the treaty between Spain u nd the Unit
ed States upon the strength of which it is asserted
that the negroes taken on board the Amistad must
be delivered up TO the Spanish authorities A de-
mand has been made for them by the Spanish Am
bassador, and it is said that Mr. FORSYTH Secretary
of State, is fully of opinion that they must be de-
livered up, and is onl waiting for the return of
the President to act in the matter The article in
the Treaty relied upon is follows:
can ships and merchandise of aohQt nature soep-
er which shall be rescued from the hands of any
pirates robbers the high seas shall be brouoh
into some port of either state and shall be deliver
ed to the custody Of the officers of that mort in or
der to be taken cure of and restored entire 10 tho
true proprietor, soon due and seflicent proof
shall be made concerning the property thereof
We have divers objections to giving up the ne
groes under this article Of the treaty In the first
place. they are not robbers nor pirates in the sec
ond place, slaves cannot according to any fair IN
depreciation, be included under the term querchan
disc /; in the third place, even if slaves could be
included under that description, these negroes are
not slaves having been practically stolen from Afri
ca, against the laws, both Of Spain and of this
country. Fortunately for the captives and for the
interests of justice and humanity, the final decision
of this question rests not with Mr. FORSYTH nor Mr.
Van Buren,, but with the Judiciary atlas

We would call the attention Of our readers to the
GLOWING article from the Eastern "A, gas, now ed

gress from Portland. Whatever may be thought
of his political career, nobody can deny that upon
political subjects he is well informed, The state

zee m TO us entitled to confidence.
From the Eastern Argus.
The subdivisions of the opposition to Mr. Van
Buren, may be said to consist Of the different in.
tel ests represented by
LIST, Clay men
I'd, Harrison men
Sd, Aboiitionists--

These the primary characteristics of opposi-
ton politics and if they shall become so conc
ated to act in concert on the single questions Of
Presidency and Vice Presidency, they cannot fail
to be successful against MI Van Buren's admins
tration.

TRIAL FOR MURDER. hubert, accused of the
murder of Lieut.. Weir, some months ago, has had
trial at Montreal, which closed on the 10th inst
Much feeling was exhibited on the occasion, and
men of talents were employed in defence of the
prisoner The Jury were out some time, and came
into Court declaring that they could not agree up
on veldict-ten were for acquittal and 2 for con-
viction. The Jury was composed of nine French
men, one Irshman, one American, and one Dutch
man. One witness for the crown positively
that he saw Jalbert ride up to Weir and strike him
over the head with IA sword another testified that
he heard Jalbert boast Of having killed an officer.
Other witnesses testified that the prisoner had no
hand in the murder of Weir but was opposed to
his being killed,
Great excitement was created among the loyal
lists when the Jury declared their disagreement
and they fell upon the anti conviction Jurors and
beat them severely. There was, in fact, a shame.
