earnestly requested.

The Grand Jury of the U. s. Court have found
bills against thirty>four persons charged with
"levying war against the United States" by par
ticipating in the Christiana affair, and they are
to be tried for treason; and, if convict ted, exc
cuted upon the gallows
Between resisting mere act of Congress and
doing that which by any reasonable construction
can be called treason, we had supposed to be
a wide difference. But even were it otherwise,
two thirds of the indicted probably committed
no overt act which in the Burr case was held
necessary to constitute treason nor can they be
called abettors, their crime consisting in refus-
ing to assist in the capture,-as in the case of
the two Quaker citizens, or in sending informa-
ton of the approach of the slave hunters, or in
mere expressions of opinion about the law, or
Of sympathy towards those on whom it was to
be executed.
Now, if our national tribunals are going to
make treason out Of these cases, and especially
the classes above named, then indeed is the
reign of terror commenced. Half the people of
the Free States have already made themselves
amenable to the law and the gallows!
We shall await the result of these trials with
extreme interest for, if general conviction
ensues, and there is no other help for us, we
shall then be prepared for one of two things
either to remove to Austria as a freer country,
or shoulder our Inusket for rcvolutionizing our
own

the street, but was retaken and carried into the
police office, followed by crowd who pelted the
house with stones, broke the windows, and final
ly forced open the door and let the fugitive es-
cape. Four other fugtives for whom warrants

THE NEw.YoRK DAILY TMEs.-We have
waited to receive some FIVE or six numbers of
this new journal before noticing it, that we might
form better judgment of its merits. And we
now have no hesitation in saying that, in con-
densation, in the vast amount and variety of the
matter brought out in each number, and in the
taste and discrimination exhibited, it is, as
newspaper, thus far, one of the very best in the
United States. 1t is Wing in politics, but very
manly and liberal, and is destined, we think, to
meet with great success. 1t is conducted by
Mr.. Raymond, Vermont educated man, former
editor of the N. Y. Courier, and late Speaker in
The New York Legislature. The daily is 81, 90
per annum, and the weekly $500; both very
reasonable.
