The Two Csnsalagiss Of our Lurd.-Two
Efangelists give US two different gene
alagies of our Lord. Well, that is exact
ly what we should have anticipated, be-
cause il is exactly what the case requir-
ed. First, Matthew, writing chiefly
for the Jews. gives the formal legal
genealcgy-showing The line ofdescent
Of Joseph, the legal or apparent father
Of our Lcrd. Our Lord was 10 be shown
TO be legally entitled 10 /" the throne Of
his father David" And this. as the
name Of his mother could not appear
in The genealogies. must be done by
proving the descent Of Joseph, the hus-
band Of his mother. Some years after.
Luke, writing under ST. Paul's direc-
tion, and writing for the Gentiles. gives
another genealogy. showing our Lord
to be actually descended, BY his mother,
from David and from Abraham. Both
of these documents were clearly neces-
sary. Without the FIRST, the Jews
would have held the Messiahship to be
improved; without the second, the GEN.
tiles would have regarded the fulfilment
Of prophecy in His person to have been
at least doubtful.

JUDGE KANE'S CHARGE

The intelligence of Judge h is to be I'M
peached us much as his humanity. To predi-
cate treason on an act which was purely one of
self-defence, is to confound all legal as well As
moral distinctions. BY the Constitution treason
against the United States consists in .leyying
war against Them or in adhering to their enc
mics giving them aid and comfort To resist
an officer is not leyying war to kill one who is

murderous spirit, is not treason: to Oppose a
particular enactment is not TO plot the over

justification of the resistance made by the gal

they were actuated was not one of hostility to
the United States; it was neither disorderly nor

that even when the frequency of the crime de-

English or American courts-becalIse. as we
apprehcnd, opposition to the law for personal
end, even when that opposition has the essen

The reader will see, therefore, why we deem
the indictment of these men for treason un-
wise. 1t appears to us a novel and unnecessa-
rily stringent application of the principles of
law, such as to excite some jealousy in the pop
ular mind. This embraces the difficulty of
conviction, and failure TO convict of the prin-
cipal crime will mar the moral effect of the en-
tire action of the Government in defence of the
supremacy of the law.

REBELLION RATHER.

We are patient in all things. We are for
peace, and the arts of peace, in every essential
act But if there be an attempt made by ours,
or any Government under Heaven, to make
such acts crimes-to construe them into tres-
son, and we could not by appeal to the people,
and through the ballot box, reach and remedy
this accursed tyranny, and rescue from the dun
geon and the gallows the noble men who did
these acts, we would counsel rebellion, anything
lawful for man to do to rid our land, or any
land, of such Internal despotism. 1t is too much
for law-obeying freemen to endure 1t is too
much for Christian patriotism to suffer.

TREASON.

Now, one difficulty that presents itself to our
mind is that measured by these definitions, al
most every serious riot might be magnfied into
the crime of treason; or in other words, the
law of treason might thus be made to embrace
a class of crime for which the trainers of the
Constitution never designed to impose 30 grave
penalty as that which attaches to treason.
Another difficulty is, that 80 far rs the reported
evidence ut the examinations enables us to
Judge. the prosecution will fail to convince an
intelligent jury that the murderers of Mr.. Cor
