becoming satisfied that the views OF your superb

The latest case of CooperaSc.
Some time since, Mr.. j. Fenimore Cooper
sued Col. Stone, of the Commercial, for an al
legged libel contained IN review Of one of the
said Fenmore's works, contributed by one Of
the first scholars in the country. The case was
referred and the plaintiff proved serious mis-
| quotation in one part Of the review-unlntentlon
been avoided; so the refereed gave Fenimore a
verdict of $3.50, payable within sixty days. Be-
fore the expiration Of that term, Fenimore dun
ned. for his money. Col. Stone thereupon said, in
his paper of July 9Th, l542:
Gar. j. Feunore Cooper need be very hdgr.y in
finger the cash TO be paid by toward his sup
port will be forthcoming the la, DAY allowed By the
award but not disposed allow him to putt into
Wall or shaving pu poses before that period Wait
patiently. There Will be no ocksmh necessryo ge, at
| the ready"
The last sentence alludes to the fact that one
of Mr.. Cooper's verdcts against Mr. Barber, of
the Otsego Republican, had been collected by at
| taching the money in Mr.. BE trunk-how open
ed we forget.
For this paragraph Mr.. Cooper sued for ano-
ther libel; and a Sherff's Jury in Cooperstown-
ten of them Loco Focos, dncluding the publish
err livery stable keeper, &c. &c. who are patronl-
zed by Mr.. c. gave the plaintiff verdict of
$3.50! We don't blame the plaintiff for getting
all the law will give him; but we must say that
we would not have our name on the list of that
Jury for twice the sum they took from Col.
Stone and gave to Mr.. Cooper.
An indignant public asks, How is it possible
that such verdicts can be obtained When that
public has heard the rulings and charges on sdch
cases, they with have partly penetrated the mys-
terry. TIE residue is solved thus; In this case,
! the Judge having charged that they must render
verdict for the plaintiff, the Jury proceeded to
mark for its amount. One or more marked six
cen,s but one marked One thousand Dollars,
which of itself was enough to secure wickedly
unreasonable verdict. In this way, one man who

ry should be in favor of merely nominal damages2
Ought the Liberty of the Press to fall before such
pcrversions of the machinery of Justice
KENTucKY.-The Frankfort Commonwealth of
the 22d states that Henry Grider regular Wing,
and not j. w. Irwin, his Tylerish opponent, is
elected to Congress from the Hid District We
know not what to believe as the Kentucky pa.

their Election returns so soon as they become OF
any value. We must presume the latest story
true till we hear another Orders majority, PA

One Delegate doubtful; one Loco Senator

between two Wings.
