has Just been tried before the Circuit Court of the
Third Circuit of this State II was instituted by
M. Costigan formerly Superintendent of the Mo

pose of recovering damages for an alleged libel
which appeared in the Erening Journal in the spring
of l843 charging the plaintiff with despatching over
the railroad number of illegal locofoco voters for
the purpose Of influencing local election in the city
of Albany. The trial is reported at length in the
Journal, and is really rather amusing. That the IL
legal voters were conveyed on the railroad was very
satisfactorily proved, and the details given in evil

funny. One fellow swore that they were put three

Quents are locofocos but that will make no difference
with peaceable men of that party. If Thurlow can
