PHILADELPHIA LAWYER.-rhe case of Gancemi
in New York is managed by John w. Ashmead,
Esq, late Of Philadelphia, where he was United
States District Attorney under Taylor aud Fillmore,
and for year or more under Pierce, While holding
that Office, he acquired national reputation by his
able prosecution of the persons concerned in the muir
der OF Mr.. GOrsuCh, Maryland STAKEHOLDER who went
to Pennsylvania to capture fugitive, but was re-
sisted at Christiaua and shot in the melee. The
enunciatiOns of Mr. Ashmead, on this trial. as to the
comfy due to sovereign States, the rights OF slave
owners under the United States Constitution, and
the uuCOnsttHtiOnality of State laws interfering with
slave property, were novel at the time and boldly
taken. They were substantially the same as those
subsequently decided bYJndge Kane in the Passmore
Williamson case, and affirmed colaterally in the
bred Scott decision. We allude to this TO show the
South that Attorney acting under President Fill
more was the first to take that high conservative
ground which has since been declared the supreme
law Of the land, and that the American platform OF
principles is the Ouy safe barrier tor the slave States
against encroachments, and for the free States
against the constant political agitation OF the negro
question, which has become supfemey disgusting to
all intelligent men.
After 6lr Ashmead had been succeeded in office by
james {. Vandyke, the present incumbent, he re-
moved to New York and took position at the bar
of that city. He was assigned as counsel to defend
Cancemi, and has shown deXterty in the man
agement OF the case which seems to bale courts and
prosecuting officers Three Or tonr times has his
client been tried, and yet upon appeal new trials
have been granted The last decision was on the
ground that criminal cannot be tried by less than
Twelve jurors, even by his own consent In this case
juror was taken sick, and the District Attorney
aud the Judge who tried the case agreed to allow the
juror to be withdraw upon the consent and waiver
OF the prisoner-Mr. Ashmead, we believe making
no assent. Caneem ought to have been hung ago
without doubt, but professional ethics demand that
his counsel should secure to him every legal adyau
tage. This case while it shows the adrothess of tbt
| lawyer, is also strong argument in favor Of the re
| form of our jury SYSTEM and simplication of th
code of criminal practice. If a trial can be set asid
year after year until witnesses die their recolec
lion Of circumstances becomes confused, the creates
rogues may so unwhpped of Justice.
