i Gentlemen OF the jury (sald western
lawyer. 1t is with feelings of no ordina
ry commotion that rise to defend my
injured client here from the attacks which
have been made upon his heretofore un.
approachable character. I feel, gentle.
men, that though good deal smarter
than any of you, even the judge himself,
yet am utterly incompetent to present
this case in that magnanimous and heart
rending light which its importance de-
mands; and, l trust. gentleman, that what
ever I may lack in presenting the subject,
will be Immediately made up by your own
natural good sense and discernment, if you
have got any.
The counsel for the prosecution, gen.
tlemen, will undoubtedly attempt to heave
dust in your eyes.
He viii tell you that his client is pre-
eminently a man of function-that he is
man who would scorn to fotch an action
again another merely to crafty his own
personal corporosity; but. gentlemen, let
me cautionate you how you rely upon
such specious reasoning like this. I my
self apprehend that this suit has been will
fully and maliciously fotcht, gentlemen,
for the sole and only purpose of browbeat-
ing my client here, and in an eminent
manner grinding the face Of the poor, and
/ apprehend also, that if you could but
look into that mans heart, and read there
the motives which have impelled him to
fotch this suit. such picture of hea: tfelt
ingratitude would be brought to light as
has never before been exhibited since the
Falls of Niagara.
Now, gentlemen, want to make brill
liant appeal to the kind symmetrics of your
natur, and see if can't warp your judg-
ments little in favor of my unfortunate
client here, and then l shall fotch my ar
guments to close. Here is poor man
with numerous wife and child depend
enton him for their daily bread and butter,
wantonly fotched up here and arranged be-
fore an intellectual jury on the charge Of
ignominiously hooking; yes, hooking six
quarts Of new cider. You, gentlemen,
have all been placed in the same situation,
and you know how to feel for the misfor-
tunes of.my client, and I humbly calcu-
late that you will not permit the gushings
of your symperthizing hearts to be
squenched in the bud by the surruptitious
and supererogating arguments of my ig-
norant opponent on the tother side.
The law expressly declares. gentlemen,
in the beautiful language of Shakespeare,
that where no doubt exists Of the guilt of
the prisoner, it is your duty to lean on the
side ofjustice and fotch him in innocent.
II you keep this fact in view in the case
OF my client, gentlemen, you viii have
the honor of making friend of him and
all his relations, and you can alters look
upon this occasion and reflect with pleas
ure that you did as you have been done
by; buff on the other hand. you disre-
gard this great principle of law, and set at
naught my eloquent remarks, and fotch
him in guilty. the silent twitches of con-
science will follow you over every fair
corn6eld, I reckon, and my injured and
down-trod6en client will be pretty apt to
light on you some of these nights, as my
cat lights on sasser full of new milk.

TAz INAVsURAI..-We had intended publish

furnished us, that the Transcript had it already
in type. and would have it out in an extra in
about an hour from that time. We could not, Of

however, made an abstract of it, which embraces
every thing in it of any consequence to our read

is quite as important document as the Inaug-
ural. a.st-
We should not have alluded to this matter,
had we not made seasonable application for the
copy, and are informed that it was given to the
Transcript with an express stipulation that it
should be sessonabiy furnished to US. We have
heretofore, on more than one occasion, when we
were not under the slightest obligation to do it,
furnished the Transcript office with the means Of
bringing out such matters simultaneously with
Us, and in some instances have put ourselves to
Inconvenience to do ie. But we do not complain.
We make thestatement simply for the informs-
ton of our readers. We can look out for our
selves, and ask no favors.

REMEDY FOR THE MURDERS IN THE STATE
PRIsoN.-An old wag, remarking upon the
recent murders at the State prison, insists
that they are not attributable to want of dis.
ciphne among the prisoners or the inefficiency
OF the officers in command; but that they are
the result of bad morals and the low breeding
of the present class of conviets. s.Frll the

THE SToRM.-It appears by the papers that
the late snow storm was much more severe
eastward and southwark of us, than at this
place. At Boston. it fell eight to ten inches
deep, and drifted badly. At Springfield it was
eight inches deep, and the storm was of still
greater severity southwark Of that place, on the
route to New York. In Providence, the snow
was a foot deep. The Journal says $500

Revival or The SLAVE TRADE-WHAT
ENGLAND Would Do.-The London Times
has an article also on the slave trade. Itsays
''As long as the peculiar institution is
confined to the limits of the States it is be-
yond the juii-diction of other nations. We
have. properly speaking. nothing TO do with
the matter. The whole aspect of the qtes-
ton, however, is changed the moment we
come upon propagandism for revival of the
slave trade. As soon as that is attempted we
find ourselves in presence of host of treaties
which have received the sanction of well. nigh
every civilized nation, and which certainly
cannot be violated without the contingency
Of . general war.
Nothing could be more remote from our in
tention than the suggestion of threat, for
we are well aware that between two power
full nations threats are simply ridiculous we
are speaking merely of tie facts. II every

We are very confident that in such case no

British empire would be content to risk their

forcement Of the abolition. The sauce feeling.
