Trial of Free State Prisoners Concluded.

The trial of fifteen Free State prison.
ers for murder at Lecompton, resulted in
a verdict of "Not Guilty. Seven were
re-committed on other charges, and eight
were released. The correspondent Of the
Cincinnati Gazette writes:
Last Monday morning The Court opened
at the usual hour, and William Stephens,
ESQ.,, of Mansfield, Ohio, made his clos
ing argument in behalf of the defendants.
Ii was pronounced TO be an able effort,
and reflects credit upon the author.
He was followed by Marcus ]. Parrot,
Esq, of Leavenworlh City, formerly OF
Dayton, Ohio, senior counsel for the de-
fence.
Mr.. P. made a most thorough inyeSti-
CATION of the testimony introduced by the
prosecution, and in a mastery manner
exposed The unsoundness of the opposing
counsel's conclusions and positions.
He was followed by the Attorney Gene
raj of the Territory, Col. ~Isaacs, who
closed for the Government. His plea was
more argumentative, free from personal
illusions to the prisoners and fanaiical de-
nunciations against all Free State men,
which characterized the remarks Of his
colleagues who had preceded him. We
info rred by their speeches 10 the Jury,
that "Abolitionists'' ought 10 be hanged
anyhow.
The Judge gave his charge, the Jury
retired, and after an absence of an hour
or so, they returned a verdict of No:

ted ; seven were sent back to prison 10

The Wicked Gnash ther Teeth,

The following is from the Washington
Union, organ Of the Pierce and Buchanan
Administrations:
PRIEST RIDDEN New ENeLAND.-The
result Of the presidential election in New
England proves that a majority of her
people have bowed their necks to the do
m'nion Of religious fanaticism. While
their hearts are bleeding over the condi-
lion Of slavery in which the negroes at
the South are placed, they seem to be
wholly unconscious themselves. They
are the slaves Of passion, of rr, judice,
Of religious tyranny; and yet they hug
their own chains of absolute subsection
10 puritanicul fanaticism, and think they
are doing God service in shedding tears
over the seIvilily of southern slaves, who
neither desire or need their sympalhies.
New England is to-day %groaning under
a ~desPotism which challenges a parallel
in any o;her part of the world. They
labor under the deiusion that they are
free men, and they boast loudly of their
devotion to freedom. But there is no
freedom in New England. The Church
Is supreme over the minds of the prics.-
ridden people. They do not think for
themselves, bu. the political oracles Of
the pnIPit do their thinking. The worst
species of despotism is that in which the
mind is enslaved. That is the despolism
which broods over New England. The
slave of the South is happy and contented
with his condition. He knows thar he is
not fitted by nature for freedom, and be
is %contentPd with the guardian protection
which he enjoys from humane and kind
masters. The New England men are
deluded with the idea that they are free,
AM yet they are wearing the chains Of
enslaved Intellectual beings. They look
TO their religious teachers for their
thoughts and they follow the dictates OF
bigotry anil fanaticism with slavish sub
mission. They accept whatever fIlse-
hood, whether of doctrine or Of fact, that
their religious guides choose 10 impose
upon them. Church md State are vir-
tually n in New England. The power
OF the pulpit is supreme, and ii has Just
been exeTied in debating the vote cast for
Fremont.

our fellow citizens in Kansas in all their
rights-and that compliance with this
demand be insisted upon at all hazards,
and that we pledge him our personal
assistance if called on for the accomplish
ment of these objects.

In addition 10 a thorough elementary
theoretical training, this College has in
troduced an extended Course Of Practical
Sets OF Accounts, direct from the more
important business houses, which sets are
not only composed By business men from
actual records of their own routine af-
fairs, but explained by them and embrac
ing the more prominent features Of their
peculiar departments of trade.
Among the new sets about 10 be intro
duced into the course of study, is one
composed by L L. Jones, Cashier Com
mercia, Branch Bank, who has been long
couyerSani with banking institutions. Ii

every kind Of transaction and its proper
record that is known in Banking opera
tions, and embraces all the books in use,
such as ledgers, journals, discount and
collection registers, domestic and fIreign

MED with the original forms from the va
rious sources from which they spring,

The Lady's Guide to Pefeet Gentility.
By Emily Thornweil, Author of Home
Cares Made Easy, &c.
We have glanced over This book. with
considerable interest, notwithstanding
the fact that we are lily qualified to
Judge of its merits. 1t seems to us 10
contain many valuable hints relative to
the health and vigor of the body, and
the cult, alton of the mind, as well as in
regard to the manners. In fact the title
is scarcely a fair index of the contents
of the book. There is much more OF
the valuable and practical, than of that
which appertains to mere gentlity. We
have little faith in rules which can be
laid down to teach gentility. We have
a disliket to the very word gsnteel. There
is SO much that is false and hollow in all
that teaches mere politeness, which does
not reach the disposition and the heart,
the foundations of all true ~politeness,
that we were prepared to cOndem this
book from its title page, alone. But we
would have done IFS authoress injustice.
1t is full of good advice, founded on the
principles of morality, and truth, and
drawn from the teachings of experience.
1t contains a great variety of directions
and receipts for making different articles
of dress, cosmetics, &C., DC.
