might be expected, however, this eHPeir
ment proved failure, and the state re-
turned TO its former place in the Confed-
eracy.
The Indians of Yucatan are very dif-
ferent from those of the North. When
first discovered, they were in state near
" resembling civilized life, and in many
important respects, to say the least, not
inferior to that of the White race in those
regions at present. They have always re-
NAMED on the same soil-mingling with
the Spanish race-christianized and civil
lized by them. This is true, however, Of
only one portion of the Indians-another
large portion have remained in separate
state. far removed from the White PoPu>
laton, and never coming near them ex-
cept for the purpose oftrade. Those. too,
who have taken up their abode with the
Whites. have been kept for the most part
in 4 mental condition-they have been ty-
rannizsd over by heartless and prohigate
priests, and subjected to the most rlgor-
oss and oppressive exactions and taxatlons.
They are, nevertheless, as strictly por-
lion of the nation as the Spanish popula>
,ion-and as TO numbers, they are said TO
excel the latter in the ratio Of three o
one.
One thing strikes US as little peculiar
in this matter. Our DEMOCRATIC ADMINIs>
TRATloN, so eager to present its congrat-
ulations to the populace of Paris, on their
triumphant revolution, is equally jealous,
equally in haste, to suppress an insurrec-
ton in Yucatan, where the expressions
and wrongs of ages have stung an unior-
tunate race into open revolt-iuto a Wig
orous assertion of their rights Three
fourths Of the people of Yucatan must be
put down, in order to protect the other
fourth in their aristocratic ease and op-
preston i-Observe the consistency Of
Locofocoism.
Happily. however, treaty ofpeace has
been effected between the two belligerent
parties in Yucatan--the oppressors max
ing great concessions TO the oppressed
lust as has been the case all over Europe.
Our government, therefore, is obliged to
give up its purpose-und the bill has been
laid aside, we hope forever.

THE JURY BOX.

Among all the subjects of the day which ara
brought before the people for their discussion
and consideration, know of none of more Vi
tai Importance, both to public and private in
terests, than the careful and judcous seec-.
ton OF men to sit as Jurors in our courts OF
law. And as the season has arrived when
the selectmen Of the various towns in tho
State are required by law to regulate the ju-
ry box, / trust it will not be deemed unim-
portant to offer some suggestions touching
their duty in this important matter. The
law contemplates, that in the selection of
Jurors, the selectmen shall make out list Of
such men as are best qualified to do justice
between litigant parties in civil suits, and
between the State and the criminal They
should be men of sound judgment, and of dis
elimination, capable of understanding and
weighing the testimony, and making the pro-
per application Of it to the case; for if jurors
are wanting in these essential qualifications,
parties arc liable to suffer from erroneous
verdicts, and the guilty will oitentimes go
UNPUBLISHED. Nor are these, though inds-
pensable, all the qualifications necessary
to make good juror There is something
beyond all this. Men may possess clear
head and a corrupt heart; and if virtue and
integrity is not the controlling principle with
them, what assurance have the community OF
having secured to them their legal rights, and
that protection from the vicious which the
law contempates in trial by jury? 1t is to
be feared that there are men among us--not
deficient in intellect-who have sympathy
with the offender against the law, and that
sympathy seems to gain strength in proper
ton to the number and magnitude of his
offences And with such men the evidence
is rarely ever sufficient to carry conviction to
their minds of the prisoners guilt Yet the
names of such men, we have reason to believe,
are sometimes to be found in the jury box
And this arises, perhaps, not so much from
the fault, as the want of due exercise of
care on the part of the selectmen, in exam
lining cautiously into the character and quail
ifcations of those persons they select, liable
to be drawn as jurors.
AS one sinner Destroyer much good" so
it is in the power Of one juror to prevent
righteous verdict. 1t is to the selectmen, and
to them alone, that we are to look for the
faithful performance of the trust committed
to them; and it is their duty to inquire, not
only into the intellectual capacity, but also
into the moral qualification of the men they
place upon their list to serve as jurors. Tho
trial by jury has long been held sacred among
civilized nations. 1t was early established in
our own country, and is guaranteed to us by
the Constitution. Its object is, protection for
the Innocent and punishment for the guilty
and therefore let none, in this enlightened
age, have occasion to say that there is no
safety in trial by jury. JUSTICE

MATRIMONIAL ADvERTIsER.-A

MATRIMONIAL ADvERTIsER.-A story
was told me, with an assurance that it was
literally true, of gentleman who, being in
want Of wife, advertised for one, and, at the
time and place appointed, was met by lady.
Their stations in life entitled them to be so
called, and the gentleman as we'll as the lady
was in earnest. He, however, unluckily,
seemed to be of the same opinion as King
Pedro was with regard to his wife, Queen
Mary of Arragon, that she was not so hand
some as she might be good, and the meeting
ended in their mutual disappontment.-
Coelebs advertised second time, appointing
different square for the place Of meeting,
and varying the words OF the advertisement.
He met the same lady-they recognized each
other-could not choose but smile at the re-
cogntion, and perhaps neither of them could
choose but sigh. You will anticipate the
event. The persevcring bachelor tried his lot
third time in the newspapers, and at the
third place of appointment met the equally
persevering spinster. At this meeting nei-
Their could help laughing They began to
converse in good humor, and the conversation
became so agreeable on both sides, and the
circumstances appeared so remarkable that
this third interview led to marriage, and
the marriage proved happy one.-Southey.
