an able speech from Mr.. WRIGHT, IN favor OIL
rather in vindication Of the course pursued BY
the President in relation to the finances. Mr.

session was held.
The MURDER or MIR. SUYDAM.-The New
York Commercial Advertiser says, that it is be-
| lieved at New Brunswick, that the murderers
had made arrangements to entrap another indi-
vidual, and murder him also This person was
a Mr.. Cheeseman, mason, to whom Robinson
was indebted He was requested to call at
Robinson's house, ON the same day of the muir
der, but was prevented from calling at the appoint
ed time. The opinion is strengthened from the
fact of another hole being found in the cellar,
similar to that which contained the body of Mr..
Suydam. One of the brothers of Robinson tes-
tilted that, when on his way to church, on
Thanksgiving-day, he called at his brother
Peters house, and was refused Abundance
Peter told him that he was engaged, and could
not see him. 1t is the opinion of the physician
that, from the appearance of the head, Mr.. Suy-
dam suffered much before he explred-three
blows were probably given. The skull was
split, longitudinally, from the crown to the
occiPut! The Newark Daily Advertiser, of
Wednesday, has the following:
"Some further corroborating particulars con-
corning the murder at New Brunswick, have
transpired since our yesterdays publication
Mr.. Evans has been to that city for exami-
nation and Immediately identified Robinson as
the man who exchanged Mr.. Suydam's watch at
atp c,,Ia f,- al
found in his possession Robinson's brother was
examined, and testified that Robinson offered
him $50 to set fire TO his dwelling house, for the
purpose OF recovering the insurance, as is sup
posed, as he had obtained his policy of insurance
which he Il anslerred to Mr.. s.. and which was
found in his possession.
1t has also been ascertained that a hole in the
cellar was dug some days before Mr.. s. was de-
coyed to the house. The FREEDMAN this morn
ing confirms the essential statements made YES
terday, and adds:
Mr. Suydam had entered upon the first floor
above the basement, and gone into the back
room, and from the appearance of blood on the
floor, had been struck as he was about coming
out, near, or at the door of the back ROOM The
marks of blood are perceptible on the floor at
the door, on the door post, and in the entry, al
though they had been carefully painted over to
conceal them. The first blow was on the back
of the head, with, perhaps, the back of carpen-
ters adze, and followed by two others on the
top of his head with the edge of the instrument.
The body was then dragged down the cellar
stairs and into the front room of the basement
story, and there buried
Robinson and his wife resided in the house, !
but his wife had gone to New York before the |
murder, and neither of them have slept in the |
house since.
After being exposed by the Coroner for a short |
time to the view of the multitude who had as |
senbled about the Court House, the body was |
removed to the residence of the afflicted family,
and duly inferred with solemn ceremony yester- |
day afternoon"
