Albeft J. ferrill Acquitted.

This young man was put % his trial, in
Boston on the 24th of March, for the MUIR
der Of Mary Ann Bickford. He was charg-
ed with cutting her throat with razor, and
also, but in another indictment, for setting
the house on fire in which the murder was
perpetrated. Ex-senator Choate was his
senior counsel. That he was guilty no one
had doubt; even the jurors were salts
lied Of that, yet he was cleared because the
evidence in the case would not warrant .
verdict Of guilty upon principles of law.
This may seem wrong, but we think it is
not 30, We admire that system Of jurispru-
dence that is stable and rigid, and which
will acquit, unless conviction can be rest
ed on evidence governed and regulated BY
the established law in all it's vigor. But
there is passage in Mr.. Parker's opening
to the jury, on behalf Of the Government,
that we cannot refrain from giving. Said
Mr.. Parker: II a

nsnt, in which the following signifcant
lesgusgs 4 losnd. W. are to spt. when
reading Cana9ia paper, to think the ap-
parent hatred usually expressed in It, IS
the actual feeling Of the people IN Canada.
In this we are mistaken; for i is fact that
! very large majority Of LO.cer canads IL
psstieslm would prefer to become States
&C the Union, than have their present reia-
tions with the home Government continue.
But this address speaks for itself; and while
we read i, 1t Us remember that the most
sure way to make inroads upon Monarch
ies, and to enlarge the borders Of Free
dom Is. to cultivate the friendship Of contig-
xoxs Naiss, Or provinces. Whenever the
hart Of people is with US aud for us,
they are . part Of ", against the world.
Whether, therefore, England wishes it
or not, Canada will certainly cut her con

"The Canadians BY joining the United
States. will continue allths privileges which
England's colonies enjoy under FREE trad
system. s.-, s-s
@s.In losing the British American colonies
England will lose employment for 80 coo

but il il not simple loss to England
