You will have seen by our newspapers that John
sheridan Hogan, as he is called, has been foohardy
enough, after his escape at Lockport, to come 10
TINS place. and get again apprehendsd as par,ci-

felt for the atmosphere of the Lockport JAIL seems
determined to try the effects of six or twelve months
further residence in It, or some other the frontier.

not escaped the wisdom of teenship, his conduct in
the present instance is sufficient proof
There seems at present little doubt of his COM
initial for participation in the Caroline affair The
character Of the evidence that will warrant this is
his letters, written since his first apprehension.
That he has courted his fate is sef-evident, and
therefore he receives little sympathy from sober
minded citizens In fact, they are mad enough 10
think that this particular moment his folly, love Of
notorietv, or love of the ladies, should make him
come here to swe the difficulties that already
threaten TO let slip the dogs of war. Ii is impossible
to believe that Great Britain will submit to another
Mcleod ordeal, or suffer her citizens who NAV
have business in the States, to be taken up and COM
mitted to Jail, on the complaint of being Caroline
burners. II such thing is to 60 on, where will it,

In spite of every care that can be had, every day
only reveals some new difficulty, as if the Gods
themselves had SO ordered it.
Except considerable share of indignation at Mr.
John Sheridan Hogan, and those who caused his
apprehension, there exists no excitement among our
citizens. The majority of them do not believe that
the fellow had any thing to do with the Schlosser
business but they Judge this more from his youth

The lawyers who defend him, tried every qurk

not fad loop hole when 10 creep out OF 1t. So
the examination had 10 be gone INTO.

one Hogans connection with II on his own admis-
