BEAUTIFUL ALLE0oxY.-Mr. Crittenden, of
kentcky, WAS ut one time engaged in defend
ing man who had been indicted for CAPT.
tai ofense. After al elaborate and power
fui defence, he closed his effort by the fol-
lowing striking and beautiful allegory:
'sWhen God in bis eternal counsel con-
ceived the thought Of mans creation, he call.
ed to him the three ministers who wait con-
stantly upon the throne-Justice, Truth and
Mercy, and thus addressed them :--"Shall
We make man 2" Then said Justice, go,
God, make him not, for he will trample upon
thy laws" Truth made answer also, 90,
God, make him not, for he will polu,e thv
sanctuaries." But Mercy, dropping upon
her knees, and looking up through her tears
exclaimed, go, God, make him-Iwill watch
over him with my care through all the dark
paths which be may have to tread" Then
God made man, and said to him, "Oh, man,
thou art the child OF Mercy; 90 and deal
with thy BROTHER"
The jury, when he finished, were drowned
In tears, and against evidence, and what
must have been their own convictions
brought in q verdict Of not guilty.

The Presidents organ, the Washington

the genuineness Of Wise's letter, says: II
this letter is genuine nothing can be said
which can increase the modification that
must necessarily be felt by the friends Of

Ii there is any sentiment which the Ameri-
can people cherish and which they ought to
require from public men, it is political NOR
Atty among those who aspire to their suf-
frages.
This letter 10 calculated, in the strongest
degree, to shake the confidence OF the people
IN this respect.
