ACQUITTAL OF MCLEOD.

We learn from the papers received by
yesterdays mai, that ALEXANDER McLEoD,
has been acquitted by the New York Jury,
of the charge upon which he has been
tried, and the consequent removal of a
source of great disquietude from the pub
lie mind, as possibly involving the peace
of the country.
On Tuesday afternoon, the arguments
of Counsel being closed, Judge GRIDLry
summed up the evidence and committed

the case TO tho Jury in an able and i'm
pressive charge; and after consultation
Of twenty minutes, the Jury returned into
court with a verdict of Nor .GUurY,
and the prisoner was Immediately dis
charged.
McLroD was to leave Utica on Thurs
day for Canada, and the High Sheriff of
Oneida, in obedience to instructions from
the State Executive, was TO give him safe
conduct to the line which separates Canada
from the United States.
A New York Correspondent says:
Il congratulate you on the news Of the
acuuitta of McLroD. upon as fair, digni-
fed. and impartial a trial as probably ever
took place in a court Of justice. shall
he glad to hear that he is fairly beyond
the limits of the United States. With this
result | conclude must end all rational APP
prehension of collision between Great
Britain and the United States" The wri-
ter adds:
Governor SEWARD arrived here this
morning from Albany, and the hotels and
streets arc more thronged than ever. \
glorious October sun sheds its mellow light
over all objects. and the gorgeous uniforms
and inspiring music of great military
parade adds to the excitements of the
scene, exhibiting the widest possible con-
trast to the quiet and v!lago-lke summer

jan trinmphs. They can no more perma-
ncntly succeed over the wings than did the
British in the Revolution. Their triumphs
now are like those which the English would
gain if we went to war with England 1t
is admitted that the English would beat us
at first--but their short-lived triumph
would only serve to put the country on its
mctal-to rally the people as one man-to
fire their bood-to make them give up
every thing for their country, and to con-
vert the unwelcome duty of FIGHTING
into their sole BUSINESS, for the time
just as in the great Harrison contest, the
PEOPLE left their work--their work
shops, their ploughs, their stores, and made
the ELECTION their SOLE BUSINESS.
This they cannot afford to do every day
but they WILL DO TT AGAIN when the
TINE COMES, and the wings will as
surely triumph as they did in rs and Al.
