A jury TRIAL IN THE SouTH.-We publish
this morning an account-ta taken from the
North Carolina Standard of the trial Of free
negro, named Woody, on charge OF aiding
the escape of slave. At the first trial Wood
ly was found guilty, and sentenced to be hang
ed; but bis counsel moved for new trial, OBJ
tanned it, and persuaded the new jury to find o
verdict OF acquittal. The evidence is said to
have been, though not conclusive, circum-
stantially strong against the prisoner; as, in
deed, appears from the verdict of the first jury.
The second jury was composed of planters,
owning, it is said. some four hundred slaves
among them, and belonging to county which
has suffered severe losses of late from the es-
cape Of negroes to the North. Yet, notwitn-
standing the prejudice existing against free ne
groes- notwithstanding the feeling aroused by
the frequency of offences similar to that with
which Woody was charged-the jury construed
the evidence mercitully, and acquitted the
prisoner.
The North Carolina paper very properly
asks whether similar triumph Of law oVe-
passion could take place in Massachusetts,? 1t
could not. A jury could not be found in the
latter State to decide in favor OF the slave
owner, under any circumstances. The contrast
is at the service of those theorists who are 80
constantly reasoning upon the social and mo-
raj deterioration produced by the institution Of
slavery
