The Excitement in Kentucky.

The Kentucky papers still continue the
discussion of the merits OF the Ward trial
and the action Of the lawyers therein. Mr.
Crittenden seems to be the bone ofconten-
tion--some censuring and Others defending
his course as a volunteer counsel for the
accused. We think nothing but the most
rabid fanaticism could dictate this unjust
feeling for Mr.. c. Instead Of 5eing con-
demned, he deserves the greatest praise
II is necessary, where the public indigna.
ton is intense against criminal, that tai
ent and reason should be employed to
counteract any rash, precipitate action, in
volving life, and to control the impulses of
those who, too frequently, permit feeling to
supersede reason. The killing Of man
is terrible act, and makes every generous
impulse Of our nature revolt but when the
murderer has had fair trial by jury of
his peers, and they unanimously consent to
bis acquittal, why in the name Of the Law
let him go. If guilty of cold blooded MUIR
der, he will carry in his bosom sting more
terrible than tue pang of him whose doom
is fever dying, though never dead"--a pro-
methean flame more torturing than despair
itself. Vengeance is Gods and with flu
ry unknown to human agency, be will re-
pay. We publish on the first page of to-
days paper, an appeal to the people of the
country to suspend their judgment until an
authentic report Of the evidence is publish
ed. This is reasonable request, and should
be complied with by the editors CT the u.
States. We have contended heretofore that
where twelve mer, acting under the sane
ton Of their oaths, unanimously agree that
a man is innocent, after having heard the
evidence and arguments in the case, there
must be some good ground for it, which
will doubtless prove TO be so in Wards
case.
As evidence Of the rash and unreasona-
bic feelings of many Of the Kentucky PEG.
pie on this subject, we see it stated that
one Of the jurors went to blacksmith to
get plow repaired, but the smith refused
to do il, and that merchant refused to sell
another goods. Where is the justice Of

Extra Session.

The Richmond Enquirer, Examiner, and
other papers in the State. are out against
an extra session Of the Legislature. From
these indications it woald seem that the
Democratic press OF the State are opposed
to taking upon the party the responsibility
Of calling together the present Legislature
Gov. Johnson, also, believes that there is
not sufficient grounds for converting the del
egates, and unless instructed by the requl-
site number, will not do so. Papers are
being circulated, however, for the sigma
lures Of delegates with view to winter
session. Indeed. before the delegates had
left Richmond, many of them signed such
paper.
We have heretofore expressed our views
in opposition TO an extra session, because
we believed that the delegates whose OBJ
stinacy defeated the aims of those who de-
sired to legislate for the State at large. would
not change their contracted policy. The
discreditable proceedings of last session
would doubtless be re-enacted, the odium
and unpopularity OF which would be vlsi-
