SENTENCE or SouLn.

At twelve O'Clock on Tuesday Judge Gar.
land. proceeded 10 read the Judgment and
sentence OF the Supreme Court Of the State,
10 The case of Pierre SoulG, counsellor aud
attorney NJ law, for contempt Judges Simon
and Morpby were along with Judge G. on thn
bench. The court was densoly crowded,
particularly BY members Of the bar, While
the judgement was being read, Mr.. Soula
sat Immediately opposite the bench. He vas
l%ahorinE, We understood, under painful illness
which, indeed, hs appearance indicated.
After adverting to the impartial action oil
the court ID the case Of Mereiere ucrsus Can.
Canvnge, the Judgement reads In thg follow
ing words:
"AB TO the ire which the defendant SAYS he
desired 10 vent, and the Indignation he has
expressed in consequence Of our Judgment,
We estimate il as lightly as we do the menace
Ia the printed pamphlet, that il would not be
safe for this court to refuse the rehearing.
No apprehension OF anything the defendant
Gnu say or do will ioduce ug 10 swerve from
the duty we owe to the country and our.
selves. We shall pursue such course 40 m.
pears to us just and proper, regardless of the
appreciation or dissatisfaction of intorested
parties, seeking only the approval ofour own
consclences and the support Of those for
whose mrno benefit the administration Of
the laws has be n intrustod to our hands.
"knowing, as we DO, that a government
Like ours rests alone upon obedience TO the
law, aud hat its existence is the only bull
wark aud safeguard for every civil right. and
believing that the defendant is as fully i'm.
pressed with that opinion as VIC are, We re.
gret very much that one occupying his posi.
lion, both at the bar aud in society, should have
set SO pernicious an example to the Young.
er members Of the profession, and To his fell
low-cinzeps; and we hope that tho example
we shall make Of him will be d warning 10
them not 10 do SO likewise.
"'rhe sentence and judgement, Of the court
are that the defendant, Pierre Soule, be i'm
~prisoned t~wenty-four hours in the Jail Of the
Parish 81 Orleans, that he pay a fine of one
hunded dollars and the cost Of these proceed
ings, and that h. stand committed until the
fine and costs are paid"
Mr. Soule left the room when the Judge.
tnent was read, without Offering any remark
Or saying aaght 10 the court.-Picayune.

Uz= The Globe is trying to convict Hon j. Il.
G1DpryGs Of prevarication and deception before
his constituents last Fall, in reading an Anti
Slavery letter from Cassius NJ. Clay as If it were
from Henry Clay To sustain this charge, lhe
Globe produces as chief witness, Mr.. II. C. Iay-
l0r, Of Oberlin, Ohio, who does his best to I'M
peach Mr.. c., but admits that he g did not at the
time believe that Mr. Giddings designed to leave
the impression that Henry Clay was the author OF
that letter. Here is the whole charge exploded
bv the Globes own witness. Mr.. II. C. Taylor
very gratuitously adds that Mr.. Giddings repre-
sented the letter he read as as from moral and
religious man, and "we the certifers] did not
suppose it possible that Mr.. G. could say any
thing favorable to the moral or religious princ-
cipIes Of Hon. Henry Clay" The scoundrel
who makes this wanton insnuation against an
upright and honorable man, has himself been
since detected and exposed in breach Of trust,
stealing, seduction and procuring abortion-all
carried on for years, while he pretended to be
Minister OF the Gospel, Editor Of Perfectionist
newspaper, very savage from week to week
AGAINST Libertinism, both in his Sermons and his
Editorials, and had helped to lynch weak young
man for making an insulting proposal to young
woman. Such is the character Of the Globes
witness against the honesty of Mr., Giddlngs and
the morality Of Henry Clay.

when the boat careened; but she was so de0iiI-
