After two weeks and half of arduous labor in
the examination OF persons competent to serve as
jurors, they have, at last obtained panel to try Dr.
Boughtcn. They are all honest, upright, firm and
substantial mechanics and farmers Of our county,
who have stood the storm and seen the preparations
OF war In our vicinity without being biased in the
matter, or even expressed opinion as to the guilt
or innocence of Boughton. Is this not specimen of
the unadulerated manhood of the land ; men living
in community rife with war and rumors of war
hearing the offence for which the prisoner stands
indicted discussed times without number. Yet not
wthslandng all this Withholding their opinions, it
would seem almost incredible that twelve men
could be found thus constituted.
| Ine prosecution have not left stone unturned or
thing undone that would lead or tend to the con.
vicnon of Boughton. The District Attorney has
that has been ransackable, to procure evidence
against the prisoner. This appears all very well,
but is 1t commendable to be over anxious to
vict man whose guilt is doubted? He and his
friend the Attorney General, will long be recolIect
ed by the antirenters for their efficiency IN this
affair
The District Attorney opened the cause this af
ternoon on the part OF the people, and is still speak
ing his speech: 1t is the relteraton of that which has
been reported tor your paper on the former trial.
Doctor Boughton informs me, that he prove
himself every minute of his "stop'' at Copake to
have been In citizens dress. He seems very san
gulne of his acquital, and entertalns fear what
ever OF the termination Of the trial His hopes are
placed entirely upon the honesty and integrity of the
Jury
The Hudson Gazette and Mr.. Jordan, are at I" log
gerhcads" concerning the statement of the Ga.ette,
in relation TO the set-to between hun and the Attor-
ney General. Mr. Jordan met Mr. Carrique, the
editor after the publication CT the article, and
called him "lar" Mr.. Carrique retorts very bit
terly upon Mr.. Jordan's general character man
OF decency and good morals In this week Gazette,
and it is rumored that Mr.. Jordan intends bring
suit against him.
The anti-renters are in town in great numbers,
some of their most distinguished and leading men
| a n vi M If
Mencle, OF Delhi, and Mr.. John Mosher, an iniuen-
tla antl.r of Clermont, all members of the le
gal profession, and OF good repute. The people
have IN connection with the District and Attorney
General the assistance OF Aaron Vanderpoel, Jr.
ESQ.,, of kinderhook, who appears to be young
man OF considerable "stir'' and tact.
There is no way to tell how the trial will even
tuae, but there is thing certain, and that is the
anti-renters will "trump strong"

Progress Of the Irials-EUdence of the Sheriff
see by the Herald of to-day, that you had recei-
we'd letter from this city, which you pronounced
hoax You were right In doing so, as no affray, or
even sharp words, have passed between the counsel
tor the different parties since their confinement in
our jail, or any fight between relation of Mr.. Jor-
dan and young gentleman of Hudson-all have
heard have been violent threats and angry words.
\ To-day full Jury was obtained, and at 2 o'clock
our court was opened, and the District Attorney
commenced his harangue to the Jury. He is small
sized person; but what he lacks in person, is made
up by his mind: His charge to the jury was plain
and candid lie gave no garbled statements, but
| honest facts such facts made the counsel for
the prisoner stare, andthe prisoner himself to feel
rather uneasy.
Sheriff OF our county, who is upon the stand,
and (wlll probably remain there some two or three
days. who is giving his evidence calmly if he

undivided attention to every word that from him;
and if the fate of the prisoner hung upon the evidence
alone of the Sheriff. he will be convcted but there is
evidence the part of the prsoner-evidence fair
and as true the shers evdencethat will from
no office holder but from the honest yeomanry OF the
country; and was told by ant-renter to-day that
they had men of honest and fair character will
tradic every statement made by the Sheriff. but hardly
believe it, That they will correct him in of his
statements do not deny for seems possible, that
mind will get confused and will mngle up things and
confuse them in his mind until he in reality thinks they
place; but thank God there the jury~as fair Jury
ever polled-composed of farmers and mechanics
who, by their looks tell they will decide the question:
