SMITH O'BRIEN's SENTENcE. @,
Brien has been sentenced to be hung on
Saturday, the l4th inst, and have his head
CHOPPED off, and body drawn and quartered.
The jury however, united in unanimous
recommendation Of the prisoner to the
mercy Of the crown.
Up to the sailing of the steamer, no
definite information Of the cou rse the Lord
/ Lieutenant would pursue, was ascertain
ed. The court set on Saturday, and the
Lord Chief Justice proceeded with his
charge till after ten, when the adjourn
ment occurred to listen to the evidence Of
Of protest Of students Of Trinity Col
lege, going to show that Dobbin, the in
former had perjured himself The Judge
resumed his charge at o'clock, and the
jury retired. In an hour and twenty
minutes then returned a verdict Of stguil-
ty," which produced profound sensation.
Appended to the verdict was the follow
ing:
1--WE earnestly recommend the priso-
ner to the merciful conside ration of the
Government, the jury being unanimous
ly of the opinion that for many reasons
his should be spared.'
On Monday, Mr.. O'Brien was brought
up for sentence. His manly bearing, his
calmness, composure and firmness, were
themes Of observation throughout the
court. The clerk Of the crown then ask'd
Mr.. Oh. what he had to say why the
sentence Of the law should not be PASSED
on him.
Mr.. O'Brien then said:
"My Lord it is not my intention enter
into my vindication, however much 1
might have availed myself of this oppor-
tunity OF SO doing. With consciousness
that | have performed my duty to my
country-that lhave done only that which
in my opinion, it was the duty ofevery l.
risAman to have done am now pre-
pared to abide the consequences Of hav-
ing performed my duty to my native land.
Proceed with your sentence"
After brief address Of the prisoner,
the Lord Chief Justice put on the black
cap. "Sentence is, that you, William
Smith O'Brien be taken from whence you
come, then be drawn on hurdle to the
place ofexecution, and be then hanged bv
the neck until you be dead. That after
wards your head shall be severed from

ENEMIES.

Have you enemies9 Go straight on,
and mind them not. If they block up
your path, walk around them, regard
less Of their spite. A man who has nc
enemies, is seldom good for anything
he is made Of that kind Of mate rial which
is so easily worked that every one has a
hand in it. A sterling character-one
! who thinks for himself, and speaks what
he thinks, is always sure to have enc
mics. They are as necessary 10 him as
fresh air; they keep him alive and &C.
tive. A celebrated character who was
surrounded by enemies, used to remark
"They are sparks, which if you do not
blow, will go out of themselves" Let
this be your feelings, while endeavoring
to live down the scandal Of those who
are bitter against you. IL you stop to
dispute, you do as they desire, and open
the way for more abuse. Let the poor
fellows talk-there will be but reaction
if you perform but your duty; and hun.
dreds who were once alienated from you
will flock 10 you and acknowledge their
error. l1lI
FENCE FOR THE PRAlR1Es.--A model
fence designed to meet the wants of our
farmers, where wood is scarce and expen-
sive, and required for other purposes, has
been shown us. 1t is the invention Of
Mr.. Armour, of New York, who has been
residing sometime in the West. The
fence consists of strips Of sheet iron, one
and half inches wide, prepared in oil,
so as to resist the action Of the weather,
and painted white. These stripes arc
nailed to posts in the ground, two rods a.
part, with perpendicular strip of board
every other rod. The whole cost per
rod is estimated at less than thirty cents;
and it is superior to wire, as it does not
sag, and being painted white, cattle will
see it and not run against it.
The following is letter to Mr.. Ar
noux, from It. Governor McMur,ry, in
relation to the fence:
HENDERSON, Ill.,, Oct. "a, 1848.
have seen your model Of fence, de-
signed to take the place Of the wire fence
in this country, which think i: will do,
as conside; it far superior to it and |
think it will be extensively used. Cattle
are enabled to see it, and for that re ason
if no other, in connection with its cheap.
ness, it will be the best fence for the prai.
ries. WILLIAM McMURTRY.

set of men other than the editor, fearing no
threats, and being free from any combination
other than the party with which connected.
1t will advocate the same doctrines that have
heretofore appeared in it, being Democratic
in every particular.
With our position before you, we ask for
your support and aid to increase our subscrip-
ton. We will see in a short time what can
and will be done.
