McLeod-This individual was not put
on his trial at Lockport, in consequence Of
an on ission in the proper officer 10 draw
a Jury, preparatory to the sitting of the
Court in Niagara county. This being the
case, the trial will necessarily be deferred
until the next court in that county; unless
a special court shall he ordered, or M'Leod
removed to some other county for trial. 1t
is intimatcd that the omission Of the officer
to draw jury was inten:ional; but whether
this be true or not, one thing is certain
great injustice is done to all parties con-
cerned, by this delay. The attitude in
which this question places the two Govern
men:s-England and the United States, tie
excitement which pervadcs the people ge-
morally, and the justice due the accused if
proved innocent, renders tia source of much
regret that this question has not been dis
posed OF. In the meantime, we perceive the
opinion seems 10 be Strengthening, that Nc
Leod is not guilty Of the crime with which
he stands charged. 1t is asserted in some
OF the most respectable journals at the east,
that evidence conclusive will be adduced,
that Mcleod was in another part of the
country at the time the outrage on the Ca
rolne was committed. We earnestly hope
that his innocence may be clearly estab-
lished, and thus the consequences resulting
from this exciting matter be avoided-,1

Il Small iSorereignfy.-Thc county OF
Bond in the State of Illinois, has placed
itself upon its preserved rights" and de-
clared itself free and independent, from
any part or portion of the liability of the
State Debt. The sovereign people of Bond
have drawn up ii declaration of rights, and
repudiated the State debt Of Illinois, and
absolved themselves from all pecuniary OBJ
legation to the State government for it's
payment. For two years past they have
resisted the payment Of tle State taxes,
nor has the government as yet taken any
steps TO enforce their collection, or to bring
the rebels of Bond county to terms. These
revolutlonists it seems are so much elated.
and flushed with their own impudent sue
cess, that they now are striving to palm
off their incendiary doctrines upon their
nelghbors in other counties, and urging
them to like course Of dishonesty. Nor
is this all-it is said that through their
committees, they have addressed letters to
different houses both in America and Eu-
rope, for the express pdrpose Of showing
the utter worthlessness Of the State credits,
and to destroy all confidence in those who
might feel disposed to purchase Illinois
stocks.
The reasons assigned by the people Of
Bond for repudiaiing the State debt, and
refusing 10 pay taxes, are both silly and
extraordinary. 1t is commended that tho
State has contracted q debt which it can
never pay-that the prospect of its final
liquidation, is not warranted in view of the
ability OF The people 10 perform; therefore
10 repudiate the whole debt at once, will
save the State from poverty, and prevent
the entailment Of want and misery upon
their children and succeeding generations.
Such is in brief the defence set up for
rcbelling against the State government, and
resisting the supremacy Of the law.-The
dishonor, the in!amy, and the disgrace,
which an enlightened public will affix to the
abettors OF such principles, seem not to be
taken into account by the people Of Bond
county. The state debt Of Illinois is a debt
OF the people: the legal and qualified agents
OF the people contracted the debt, and the
people individually are as much responsible,
and bound by honor to pay the debt, as
though they contracted it in person. Who
would justify man for refusing to pay
debt of borrowed money, simply for the
reason that the fulfilling Of his promise
would embarrass his finances? This would |
certainly be a convenient: way for many |
knave,to release himself from the payment |
Of a Just debt. The obligation OF contracts,
in all civilized nations as well as among
universally admitted to be sacred |
and inviolate. The people of Bond county
may reason as they please; bring disgrace
upon themselves and the state, but they
cannot make void the eternal principles of
human justice, acknowledged by the world |
of mankind.

TO THE PUBLIC.

With view to ascertain how far the people
ofBaltimore are disposed to sustain paper which
is independent of Catholic control, have, to-day
re-published several articles, explanatory of the
controversy between Bishop England and myself,
with a purpose of distributing copies among
those who arc believed to desire the permanent
establishment of such a paper: hoping that then
attention being thus called to the subject, they
will feel the necessity of subscribing themselves;
and using their influence to induce others also to
subscribe.
1 do this, because many persons have en-
couraged me to believe that public sentiment In
this city is prepared to rally in behalf of such a
paper, that l am confident all that is wanting to
secure an adequate patronage, is very slight
effort on the part of those who have a common
feeling ON the subject
If the Protestant community of Baltimore come
forward, their example will be followed up by
the public elsewhere, and the usefulness of the
paper will be increased, in the proportion of its
increased circulation.
AS yet, there are many looking on, awaiting
the result, who would rejoice in sur success, but
hesitate to identify themselves with the move
ment, for fear of its failure The timid should
be encouraged, and the lukewarm aroused to the
importance of the issue which is thus created
When Ipennsd my first comment on Bishop Eng
lands letter, had not the most remote idea o.
the extent of the plans, the organization, the re-
sources, or the dangers to be encountered The
examination of the subject has filed me with ap
prehension, and nothing bat sense fduty would
induce me 10 throw myself into the controversy
am prepared, however, to do my duty, if | am
sustained by these who have no less interest in
it than myself; and with that view invite all
who are willing to aid me, to do what they car
towards it. Respectfully,
DUFF GREEN.

TO THE PUBLIC.

The denunoiation of this press by the Wing
Central Committee of Maryland, devslves spon
me the necessity Of sxplaising the circumstan-
ses attending that extraordinary proceeding
The undersigned advocated the election of
Genl. Harrison in 1886. The body Of the Wing
party Of this city preferred Mr.. Clay. The lead
ing politicians were dissatisfied at the nomi-
nation of General Harrison by the Harris
burgh Convention, and meme of them believed
that he could be elected. The etPatriot" was the
only Wing paper in Baltimore Many of the party
desired the establishment of Jealous and eff
cient morning daily paper. The city is divided
into twelve wards, each of which deputed five
members, who constituted the Harrison Conven-
tien, and this Convention appointed one delegate
from each ward, who, together With the President
of the Convention, constituted the City Central
Committee. This Committee were instructed
by the Convention to make arrangements for the
establishment of morning paper. They appoint
ed a Subj Committee, who called on me and said
that they had endeavored to do so, but could not
that they could find no competent person who
had the means, and would undertake it--that
they applied among others, to the Editor of the
Patriot, who declined their offer, They said
that the party were anxious and much dissat-
isfed at their failure. They wished TO know
whether my services could be obtained, and
what sum they would be required to advance
called at several of tho principal printing Off
ces and obtained estimates, showing that the cost
would be about eighteen thousand dollars per
aHnum, and agreed to establish the paper il tho
Committee would advance three thousand dol
lars to cover the losses, which must necessarily
accrue 1t was distinctly understood that that
sum was to be an indemnity and not loan, and
1t was further understood, that although estab
lished as party paper, the press was to be indie
pendent, and that alone was to be responsible
for its management. With this understanding
prepared n prospectus, and it so happened, tina
business called three members of the Commute,
and myself, to Annapolis, where the arrangement
was communicated to the members of the Legis
lature The agreement with the Sub Committe,
had been reported to the City Central Com
mittee and unanimously approved. 1t wa
thought expedient however, that it should be re
ported to the City Convention, and the prospectl
tho printed, was not published. The Whie
members of the Legislature took up the subject
and recommended the paper, in strong terms, t
the patronage Of the party. Copies ofthe pros
pectus found their way to Washington and wer

1t will be seen that he charges that threaten
Catholics with determination, and that he ex-
pressly says that he would prefer to be back
again in Ireland, to the condition in which he
represents that he and his religion would be
placed, if those whom he thus denounoes had
the political power of this country.
Gould he have made stronger appeal to the
passions and prejudices of those upon whom this
letter was designed to operator 1t was saying
to them that the Wings were more intolerant
than Orangemen, and that their condition would
be worse in this country than it had been in
Ireland, if General Harrison should be elected.

ministration? That you may Judge of the tone

We would call the attention of parents
10 the following particulars Of a melan'
choly and tleplorable accident, which we
copy from the Savannah Republican oI
last Sunday.
Eorly yesterday morning two sons oi
Mr.. Alexander w. Campbell Of This city,
one aged about 4 and The other ii, went
our cunning in company with a sou oi
Mr.. CercopIy-tle latter also about eleven
years old The latter was about to shoot
his gun at a bird, when it flew, and he
took The gun down for the purpose of un-
cooking this head bent down over The
lock. While in the acr Of unsprinsins the
lock it flew from his grasp and exploded.
The whole load passed throug h the chest
of Master Benjami" Campbell-the youn-
scs, of the two bnys-who expired imme-
dia,cly, without speaking single word,
except exclaiming that he was shot.
Our whole community svmpalhises with
the bcreaved relatives Of this most unfor-
tunale youth but alas! what is human
sympathy in such a case.
P. S.-Peop!e abroad will read the
above paragraph with amazement, at the
age of these boys; but they must know
that our boys carry guns long Lelorc they
cease 10 wear aprons"
