Sir had the honor 10 receive your letter OF the
20ih inst, inclos;ug a copy Of that OF the Hon. j.
Taliafcrro, Of the House Of Representatives, together
viii, the record Of proceedings of the Court Martial,
convened for The trial OF Lieut.. George Mason llooc,
ON board The United States ship Macedonian, in the
Bav of Pensacola, on the 2sth Of March, lc39, and the
opinion Of The Attorney Of the United States, for this
District, thereon.
In reply 10 your request, for my opinion, on the point
submitted BY Mr.. Taia!erro, that the proceedings and
Judgment of the Court Martial ought 10 he set aside, on
the ground, that it admitted the testimony of two ne
uroes on board the vessel, who were produced and ex-
amined as witnesses, notwithstanding an objection was
made thereto, have 10 say, that, on a careful exanilna-
ton of the record, | find that the testimony objected 10
is in no respect material 10 the finding OF the Court
That testimony related to The second charge, OF wliich
the accused was entirely acquitted, and, also, to the
fourth specification in the first and second Charges, The
finding, in regard TO which, was fully sustained, in all
particulars, by other witnesses, whose competency was
not denied. Indeed, the only fact found BY the Court,
under any portion of the charges 10 which this testimo-
nv relates, is The punishment Of a person OH board the
ship by direction Of Lieut.. Hooe, a fact mentioned by
many witnesses, and not at all denied in the defence,
which rests, not upon the fact itself, but the authority
of the accused to direct the punishment. II, therefore,
We adopt the well established and reasonable rule laid
down in regard to similar applications, in common law
proceedings, "that where, upon the whole case, Justice
has been done, and the verdict is substantially right, no
new trial will be granted, even though there may have
been some mistakes committed, sufficient justification
for asserting 10 Tie presenta application will not be found.
This makes an inquiry unnecessary, in regard to the
objection itself. The papers are returned.
Very respectfully, yours,
II. d. GILPIN
Tie Hon. Secrea,y Of the Vary.
/. So far from the Presidents having sanctioned the
admission Of negro witnesses to testify against the cha
racters of gentlemen of the Navy, this opinion shows
that the point raised by Lieut.. Hooe was immaterial to
the merits of the case; and unless it was decided TO be
an illegal practice by adopting the language OF the SUI
preme Court Of the IT,. S. 'that rhcre upon the rhole
case, Justice has been done, and The rerdiet is %substanti-

grandeur OF Iittleness. Perched on lit
lie peak Of the universe, every wind Of
Heaven strikes into his blood lie coldness
Of death, his soul flies from bis body like
melody from string; day and night, as
dust on the wheel, he is rolled along the
Heavens through the labyrinth.of worlds,
and all the sytems and creations Of God
are flamting above and beneath. Is this

glory, to deny his own flesh, aud so mock
at his fellow, sprung from that dust TO
which both Will soon return! Does the
proud man not err? Does he net sufers
| Does he not diet When he reasons, il
he never stopped BY difiicnltiesg When
he acts, is he never temped by pleasarel
When he lives, is he free from paint
