Great Reaction in the Mercer Case-Adminisfration
Of Justice in NeD Jeysey-Popuihr Defusioa IN
Philadelphia.
The Mercer trial is over--the solemn judicial
farce is ended-and nought remains but for the his
torlan TO record It as bxriesque upon the admins
traton OF justice, and the criminal jurisprudence of
the State OF New Jersey All popular excitemenls
are subject to ebb and flood, like the tide; to oscil-
latons, like the pendulum II the actionb be high,
reaction equally high may be expected During the
progress of the trial. and up to the rendering of the
verdict, there was but popular feeling, but one
current-and that set as strong as death for Young
Mercer; but no sooner had the verdict been rem.
dered and the first tumutuous ebulitions of JOYOUS
excitement subsidized, when the tide began to change.
and the anticipated reaction to commence
have fingered till to-day in this city ON purpose
to discover the symptoms of popular feeling. have
had the opportunity OF seeing several of the leading
of this city, and especially OF the Philadelphia
barr and there is but opinion expressed, and that
is the at the commencement OF this letter. that
the whole trial has been solemn judicial farce for
the reason that the verdict OF the Jury was just
certainly known al the commencement OF the trial,
as it was at the close. The whole trial was there
/ fore mere legal formality.
Men of sound sense in this city unhestatingly say
that the influence of this trial, and of this verdict,
lieve there is one man in hundred, in all this re-
gon who has the slightest doubt of the sanity of Sim
gleton Mercer, from first to last. Ask Philade-
phian now what he thinks of MERGERS insanity, and
nine times out of ten the only answer you get is
thumb on the nose, and knowing look out of one
corner of the eye. And yet it must have been on
this ground that he was acquitted, for no one will
pretend that three days was not Slime enough to
coo" and therefore the murder could not have been
perpetrated in the heat of passion. --
You alluded few days since to some most extra
ordinary developments of which you are in posses
sion, and there is very great curiosity and even
eagerness to hear from you in the Herald what they
are, for it is now pretty generally believed here in
Philadelphia that there is screw loose somewhere,
and that there is rottenness in Denmark And |
have been requested by many of the readers of the
Herald-some of them gentlemen of high standing,
to beg of you to tell what you know, Itwould un-
doubtedly create great excitement but it is due to
public justice, and to the welfare of society, that all
wrongs in the administration Of the law should be
exposed. People look to you to take the lead in
these exposures, fer the especial reason that the
Philadelphia papers are just now afraid to touch but
one side of the question, although they will un-
dOubtedly ride upon the popular current as soon as
its change shall be fully discovered.

addressed 10 a rerg Young aud .7rtiess Lady.
A shepherd once, al early morn.
Led forth his flock Ia feed;
The dew-drop :li,trred on the thorn
The violet decked Tie mead.
The lily reared her stately head
And spread her bosom tdir,
The hawthorn bloom lis fragrance shed
Upon the bamy air
There, deep within that clustering bush,
And shrinking from ms sight,
A rose bud lurked with modest blush,
As If she stunned the light.
Then, carefully, that rose lie moved,
And bore II 10 the bower
His hand mad decked, Tor her he loved,
With every graceful flower;
And placed it where the light OF day
Might show its modest worth,
And where the SUMS riiulgent ray
Might call it, odcrs forth.
And. straight, beneath that ardent eye,
The blush more deeply clowed;
And. fragrant as Loves balmy sish
The gushing perfume flowed
And now she regns the gardens pride,
The Queen OF every flower;
But still she Stops her charms 10 hide,
And bushes as before.
Thou All that Rose, a. lie shall Prove,
Who wins prize 10 fair,
And bears II 10 the bower of Love,
To bloom and flourish there:
Whose glance shall wake the tender glow,
The pure hearts fragrant sigh,
The buds of thought, that, deep below,
Lie folded from the eye.
