TEse Treason Case.

The argument of Counsel in this case was
ended finally on Thursday morning, by the Hon.
James Cooper on behalf Of the Government The
dents Message) was then delivered by Judge
sGrier, in which he fully defined the law of Trea-
sen, and expressed an opinion that the offence
committed by Hanway and his associates did
not amount to that crime. The jury, after being
out few minutes, returned into Court with a
verdict of acquittal. The Pennsylvanian, of Fri
day, referring to the subject, says:
The treason trial that has occupied the Cir
cult Court of the United States of this District
for the last two weeks or more was yesterday
brought to q conclusion, the prisoner, Cashier
Hanway, being acquitted. This result has been
expected since the commencement of the trial, as
the evidence appears to be insufficient to make
u case of treason. Judge Grier, in his charge to
the jury, gave clear and forcible explanation
of the law He said that although the transac-
ton with which the prisoner was connected did
not rise to the dignity of treason or levying OF
war, the case was one Of aggravated riot and
murder, wantonly committed after all attempt
to execute the legal process had been abandoned,
and that the guilty participators merit and should
receive at the hands of the State Courts condgr
punishment. The punishment of the rioters
and murderers now rests with TIE State authori-
ties"
Castner Hanway has since been arrested, al
the instance of District Attorney Thompson, o.
Lancaster county, and has given bail to stand
his trial at the January Court, on a charge ol
Riot, sc.
The charge eff treason against Samuel Williams
and Elijah Lewis has been withdrawn by the U
s. District Attorney, and they were admitted tc
bail in $4,000 each, to answer the charge Of mis-
| demeanors.

rs,e Portage Railroad.

1t is gratifying to be able to state that this
road continues in successful operation notwith-
standing the severe freezing weather of the past
few days This is the first winter that the at
tempt has been made to keep the road open,
and the present efficient board of Canal Commis-
sioners deserve great praise for the interest they
have manifested, and the repairs they have
caused to be made in order to effect so desira-
bic result The danger of the water freezing
in the water-pipes, cisterns, &c, has always
been supposed to be unavoidable, but Judging
from the careful preparations made by the Su-
pervisor, and from the fact that everything is
progressing smoothly and satisfactorily, we are
confident that the road can be used during the
entire winter season.

E'fge ErisEa Patriots,

While our country and Government are
uniting to do honor to the illustrious Hungarian
and German patriots, some of whom are here,
and others daily expected to arrive among US
in a manner at once creditable to the nation
and unspeakabfy grateful to the recipients, let
us not forget that o Brien, Meagher and Mitch
ell, still languish in q penal colony, under the
iron rule Of their British jailors. They perilled
all for the rescue of the land of their nativity
from the despotic thraldoin Of English tyranny,
and, overpowered by numbers, have met fate,
which should have befallcn none other than the
meanest felons who disgrace humanity.
Fer these men, We would again invoke the
aid Of all good citizens. None need cur active
sympathy more than these noble captiyes, suf-
ferers for the same cause, which has been made
illustrious by its successful Issue in our own
land-the sacred cause of liberty, civil and re-
lligious Let US meet together in the cities and
hamets Of our country, and firmly and unitedly
call upon our government to interpose their kind
offices with the Cabinet Of London, in behalf OF
the noble Irishmen. Who that has an American
heart III his bosom, beating warmly for the OPP
pressed of every cline, Will not second such an
effort in behalf of men whose only crime has
been, q determined resistance to tyrannical
miSrule2

Fit work for Them.

The meagre and miserable faction that has
been for some time assailing Mr.. Buchanan
through various filthy channels, says the Penn
sylvanian, not content with abusing him alone,
are striking venomously, but impotently, at
nearly all the public men of the party. Amongst
those recently attacked, are the Hon. W. L.
Morrison, Canal Commissioner, and the Demo-
cratic representatives in Congress from Phla-
delphia, Messrs. Robbins and Florence. This
is but additional confirmation of what has
been frequently alleged, that these men are
not the enemies of Mr.. Buchanan merely, but
of the entire Democratic party; and that their
design is, if possible, to destroy both together.

Henry SEaY.

Our readers, says the Baltimore 1mlericoa Of
Wednesday, will peruse with the satisfaction
that we have done the following letter from the
Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia
American:
The statements which represent Mr.. Clay
condition of health as critical are unfounded.
He is thinner and perhaps less elastic in his
tread than ut the last session of Congress. Still
he has the noble port of oIden time, and bis
mind is as quick and vigorous as ever. Age
has made its indentations, as might naturally be
expected, but the same great and directing spi-
r.t survives, with all its meridian splendor and
strength. The ebbing tide in the career of one

alone in his glory;' who has illustrated in his
own person and in his principles the onward
march of liberal institutions who at all times
and on all occasions has loomed up as some ma
jestic promontory; the ebbing tide, | say Of
such man comes over US, who have always
looked up to him, and whO in a manner, have
received our Inspirations from his lips, and have
been electrified with the magnetism bursting
from his big heart, with the melancholy music
of .receding waves as night sets in, and tilges
with sadness the surrounding scene. There IS
service for the country yet in him, and come
when it may, the crisis can never happen, while
life pulsates in his SOUL that viii not find Henry

John dOyIe. Esq.

The following notice of this gentleman's ap-
pointment as Prothonotary of the Supreme Court
of the Western District of this State, is taken
from the Pittsburg Post. We congratulate friend
COyle and believe that no appointment would
give as much satisfaction to the members of the
Bar in this region. He was strongly recon-
mended by the entire Bar of this County. Where
honesty, ability, untiring friendship, and integr
ty are required, there should be Mr.. Coyle.
"a despatch, received on Saturday, informs
us that our esteemed friend, John Coyle, ESQ,
has been appointed Clerk of the Supreme Court
for the Western District. a better appointment
could not have been made. We have known Mr..
COyle from our boyhood days, and we have al
ways found him to be one Of those of whom we
would esteem it pleasure to call our FRIEND.
That he will discharge the trust confded to him
with perfect satisfaction to the Court, and the
public, we have not a doubt" f.

BIZ. Buchanan in tennessee.

We continue to receive the most cheering in
teligence from all parts of the country resPec-
ting the prospects of MIR. Buchanan TO a nOmina-

from scource entitled to the highest confidence
that IL out Of the 40 Democratic members Of
the Legislature of Tennessee now in session,
are the warm friends of Mr. Buchanan, and
further, that the State viii go for him beyond a
doubt. There is not state in the Union
whose Democracy are more patriotic and true
than those of Tennessee, and it is not therefore
strange that they should prefer zPennsy ylvania' S
illustrious statesman before all others as Il cam

Mr.. Cass said he knew nothing of the facts OF

Late frOrn the Rio Grande.

Baltimore, Dec. 9.-By the arrival of the
steamer Meteor, of New Orleans, on the ID inst,
from Galveston, we have few items of interest
from the Rio Grande, brought by the schr. Uncle
Bill, from the Brazos. Gen Uraga had arrived
at Matamoras with 600 men, one mortar, and
several pieces of artillery, to reinforce Gen
Ayalos.
Gen. Caravajal was in the neighborhood of
Camargo, daily receiving reipforcements lie is
occupying all the roads leading to Matamoras
Capt Ford had gone to Texas to raise men, and
was expected back in four weeks. No action
will occur until Captain Ford returns.
1t was rumored that Gen. Avalos would pur-
sue and attack Carayajal The Mexican troops
in Natamoras now number 2000, while Carnva-
jail has not over 900 600 men under his COM
mand.
The opinion on the Texas side of the Rio
Grande, is that Caravajal viii ultimately triumph,
and sympathy in his behalf is the predominant
feeling.
Capt. Ford and his body guard, late of the
revolutionary party, had arrived at Corpus
Christi, and was fast recovering from his wounds.

Tine Virginia Election.

The recent election in the Old Dominion has
resulted in a brilliant victory to the Democracy.
Universal suffrage there, like tue vote by ballot
in Massachusetts, has given another to the proofs
that the practice of the liberal doctrines taught
by our glorious old party, is sure TO add to her
power as well as to her honor.
The returns from forty-three counties show a
gain of 300 for Johnson, Democrat, for Cover
nor, over General Taylor's vote. The Legislature
is largely Democratic.

At the Irving House, on the night of the 18th

over three hours in a strain of great eloqucnce
and power, fully stating the groun Is of Uunga-
ry's claim, and appealing to the American pco-
pie not only for sympathy and the aid of pnhiie
opinion in Hungary's behalf, but asking means
also, both by contributions and loans. His
speech occupies about eight columns. In the
course Of it, he mentioned the fact Of a gener-
Gus gift of 81, 900 to the cause Of Hungary by
A. Smead OF Cincin natl, and it is also stated
that Horace Greeley contributed another thou
sand. 1t is now proposed by the friends Of
Hungary to organize committees, under direc
ton of Kossuth, to receive subscriptions to
Hungarian National Loan of $780, and contri-
buttons in larger and smaller amounts. Some
definite plans viii b. made public in few days.
The work is to be commenced at once and with
