\ word 81 fwo now, as 10 the real mefils u this
case In the FIRST place, as 10 the destruction Of he
Caroline, oui own private opinion Il, aud ever las
been. IN accordance wtl that DECLARED ably IN the
Lite speech Of John Quincy Adams upon this sub
pet. II the United STAIRS were right IN the INVASION

Jusllh' dby the American Recommendation clear
~, we're the Brush authorities unsuitable the de
sttuctIon olthe Caroline. Th- character that yes
sci aud the special service Inch she was eng ed
were never doubtful: o. they were. all doubts have
been removed by the disclosures oi ibis nial. She
was chartered by the renegade patriot pirates. She
WAS cut out Of the ice 10 be used by and for them;
and she was engaged IN their cui-throat vagabund
service.
In the second place. even il the act of DESTROYING
INC 'essel was not Justlfiable, aud II the killing oil
DuHec was murder, we have never supposed Tor a
m"mo Mt that Mcleod was engaged therein. Our IN
lorna ion upon the subject as always ecnconclil-
slve 10 our own minds upon that point. Mcleod was
hrHhtf mere, nor dad he ever any OCCASION boast
Of haslng been there. We present al an EXAM
nation OF Mcleod, IN The ison Of this cly--anex
animation close searching and minule-made Tor the
tons were fully sustained. He WAS not there. And
all that has been SAID IN regard his boasIlng upon
that polot Is lie HIS prosecution was The work OF
malice; and the uty winch indicted HIM, as they did
upon testimony altogether Inadtq ate only illustta-
TED thtr own ignorance OF the duucs oi grand mqui-

In the thrd place, we hold that in eth. Of he
boye Cases ncllh,r The llial of VI Leod by state
tribunal, was wrong. From The moment the act OF
destruction Was assnmcdby the government OF Great
BHt1ln rs 'ls own. the jurisdiction Of the state OF

From that moment the individual offence was mer
