ACQUlTTAL OF MCLEOD.
VERDICT OF NOT GUILTY.

BY an Extraordinary, Exclusive and Su-
pernatural Express, which reached our
office late last nj ght, we have received the
intelligence of the acquit,al of Alexander
NJ cLeod,and his consequen, escaped from
the dread eli punishment, on the charge
preferred against HIM by the Grand Jury
of Niagara county. He was to be liberia
ted yesterday, and to proceed to-day to
the frontier OF New Y ork, under the safe
conduct Of the sheriff of Oneida, or some
police officer deputed in his place.
We have this intelligence in the most
positive manner, but the way in which
our correspondent reaches it. is confden-
tal and secret in the highest degree. 1t
was accomplished by the skillul diploma
cy, which enabled US, during the Extra
Session of Congress, to publish in this
journal the contents and substance Of the
two Veto Messages OF Captain Tyler, sew
eral days in anticipation OF the official pro-
mitigation ofthesc celebrated documents.
The principal speech of Mr.. Spencer is
published at length in this days paper, and
the rest of the speeches, with the charge
of the Judge, will follow tomorrow, but
the genera! result is Not Gully, and the
Liberation of Mcleod.
And thus ends this great, silly, ridicu-
lous, troublesome, menacing affair, which,
through the folly of Mcleod and the small
cunning Of the State Barber government
of New York, almost led two great ma
tons into state of war and bloodshed.
The coast being now clear, we have
every reason to expect that the general
government, conducted by captain Ty-
lar," will now act with decisionn and en-
ergy Oh the unsettled questions between
the two counties. Let the country be put
at once in stro G attitude-let the army
ad navy beat to quarters and prepare to
enforce the demands which the Republic
ought to mage against Great Britain.
"Captain Tyler" will probably first ask
England what rep ration shall we make
to Mcleod for hi indi tment and trial?''
This claim be ng paid at once, the Pre-
sldent will then open his budget-send
over a Special Minister to London land
who SO well suited as Daniel Websler?)
with peremp ory demand on the follow
ing important points,
LIST. 4 reparation and remuneration to
the proprietor of the (aroline, and to all
those who suffered by that capture-in-
GLIDING the relatives Of Durfee, who was
Killed on the occasion. Also an indem-
nifty to Col. Grogan for his illegal seizure
In Vermont, and incarceration in Montreal
gaol.
ed. Aspiration and remuneration for
the illegal captures on American vessels on
the coast of Africa, BY the vessels of war,
belonging to her majesty.
Sd. A recognition and delivery on the
"next Fourth of July" of the disputed ter
rltory, belonging to the State Of Maine.
according to the term of the treaty of
1855.
4th. The acknowledgment of the pro-
per boundary line on the North West
Territory, over the Rocky Mountains,
down to the Pacific.
These are the principal unsettled ques-
tons now agitating the peace of the two
nations-and if they are not arranged
peaceably now, they will be settled by
war hereafter. On these points, there
ought to be no compromise-no truck.
llng-no DEMONSTRATING but imme-
dlate restitution and indemnity, or repr-
sails by taking the possession of Upper
Canada, and the preparations for war by
sea and land. Let our Government first
gallautly and generously award proper
indemnify to McLeod-and then 90 ahead
like steamboat on all other unsettled
questions.
