RECEPTION oE JUDGE TERRY AT SAcRA-
MENTo The State Journal gives glowing
account of the reception of this gentleman,
at that city, after his long incarceration in
the dungeons of the Bastile. placed there by
n band of out laws and assassins, to satiate
their morbid tastes and thurst for the blood
of their helpless victims. The demonstra-
tions manifested at Sacramento, must have
been very fattering to that gentleman's s
feelings, and tend, in measure, to repay
him for his long and unjust suffering.
The Judge and his family, were received
at the boat, by a delegation of citizen, and
escorted to the Orleans, by a large process
ion, bearing banners and transparencies,
trimmed with wreaths and tastily arranged
flowers, on one Of which were the words,
DAVID s. TERRY-WELcoME HONS!
LAWS MIGHTY AND WILL Prevail.
After arriving at the Hotel, he was ad-
dressed by Hon. Tod Robinson, from a stand
oyerhung with wreaths. Judge Terry, re-
piled in most feeling and eloquent manner,
and when he had finished the immense crowd
gave three cheers, and boquets were show
cred upon him from the ladies' on the bal
couy, while the band struck up Hail to the
