A LONG MooTED PolNr SErTLED.-It
is common opinion that if condemn
ned criminal is not executed at the
time designated in his sentence the O.
mission is equivalent to a pardon, and
he must be discharged. The case came
up in Canada, recently, before tho
"Resident Judge" of the district of
Irois Rivieres. One Roberts was sens
fenced TO be hanged on the Goth Of Mo-
vember; for certain reasons, pertaining
to the nature of his crime, he was not
hanged, and subsequently motion was
made by his counsel, on habeas corpus
for his release from prison as a man
virtually pardoned. The "Resident
Judge" decided against the motion, on
the following grounds: -
"The penalty Of death pronounced.
against a convict is like a pscuniary
condemnation pronounced against
defendant; tie debtor must pay the
judgment unless the creditor acquit
him. In this case the Sovereign is tho
creditor Of the life of Robarts for the
crime which he has committed. He
who has been condemned to death cam
not be relieved except by the Sover--
eign authority, and in the manner re-
quired by law. Thus so long as the
sentence Of death Is not abrogated by a
pardon in form, the condemned person
may always be executed and no one
has the right to save him but the Sover-
eign or his representative. ,1a7
Roberts is to be imprisoned in tho
penitentiary for life unless the Sow
ereign either pardons him or calls for
his execution.

California,

From all accounts, the Californians
are heartily averse to Mexican rule,
and have virtually declared themselves
independent of Mexico. Proof Of this
appears in letter from Mr.. Cotton,
recently chosen Alcalde of Monterey
(alta California; In this letter he says:.
"The citizens of Monterey elected
me on the 18th inst. Alcalde, that Of
Chief Magistrate of this jurisdiction. 1
had been performing the duties of the
post under appointment of the COM
mander-in- chief Of the American forces
here. This mission expired on the 18th
when | was elected by the suffrages Of
the people. The vote polled was a
very large one, though no officer or
seaman, connected with our squadron,
went to the polls. - 9e5 5
THE masses are thoroughly with us,
and right glad to get rid of Mexican
rule. Hadit been otherwise they would,
never have elected me TO the chief ma
gistracy Of Monterey. We are all re-
garded more in the light of beneiactors,.
than victors. Their friendship and
confidence must never be betrayed
California must never be surrendered to
Mexico. If that country has still good
claims to her, let those claims be liqui-
dated by an equivalent in money. But
it would be treason to the lives of tho.
best inhabitants to surrender the pro-
vince ITSELF Let Congress at once an
mex her 10 the Union as territory, and
establish civil government."-
Louis Union.

they tear her away: the cunning girl
laughs at her frenzied appeal to thee,
her friend, her protector, her husband!
And thou, and I-forgivs- -
"He sank back fainting into my
arms; sudden trembling seized his OK.
hausted frame; cold dampnsss gath.
cred upon his forehead, his eyes open.
ed--closed: the strings OF that delicais
harp gave way, and the soul Of THAI
poor enthusiast fled for repose to, thar
great Rock, whose shadows reached
him even IN this weary land"
Thus the pious man concludes his
entries; and though often ransacksd
the library and papers Of the Professor,
and again and again turned over the
leaves of the Magnalia, | found no clus
to the subsequent history Of the unfor-
tunate father.

INDIAN TROUBLES THREArENRp.--
The St. Louis Republican gives la
mentable account Of the warlike feel

of the more powerful Indian tribes on

Fort Scott says, that the Sac and Usage
Indians had recently held council, the
object Of which was to unite their for.

dering the whites. The principal men
of the Creek nation, It is also stated
were sending hostile messages to the
Osages, demanding remuneration for
alleged losses, and threatening il their
missing property should not be return
