The Liquor Business.

The Mortified cases we're adjourned. In
the case Of half dozen Mortified citizens,
tried in Montpelier for assault and battery
upon J. A. Vail, the jury rendered verdict
of mol gully. On Saturday the same per-
sons we're again arraigned before Justice
Lyman, the charge being changed from as
snult to riot. The decision has not yet
been made. We were mistaken last week
IN saying that Vail was arrested for contempt
Of court--t being somewhat Doubtful as
appeared in the trials here, whether the court
did order an arrest, though the officer did
consider himself so ordered.

ask what has become of the demagogues
who repealed the Missouri Compromise, and
caused all this trouble ? Senator Douglas

The petition for the pardon
Of - ---, is similar in principle to
many others which | have had occasion to
consider. The earlier cases of the kind
were unexpected, and my action IN these
matters may consequently hive been less
uniform and consistent than intend it shall
be hereafter. These frequent appeals to he
Executive, 10 case of fines and imprisonment
in the County lalls, are only 10 be found in
modern practice. And if such applications
arc always to be treated as being ia proper
time and order 10 be ucted upon the Gover-
nor must often be involved in duties seem
ngly, TO shy the least, IN conflict and oppo-
sltion. His general duty under the consli-
ton, is to stake care that the laws be faith
fully executed" And this includes as well
the due enforcement of the judgments Of
our courts, land no less in criminal than n
civil cases,) AS the proper execution Of the
laws IN other respects. But he is also en-
powered to grant pardons and remit fines ii
all cases, except treason and murder, where
the power is restricted and qualified An

terms, was no more designed to be practi-
