DAVIS VS.. DAyIs.-Athough technically, we believe,
mao cannot be hung on his own confession OF muir
der, he may be morally "struug up" on the strength
OF The naughty things he reveals against blmeeii.
Thus, while the mere admission of reasonable 9rac:
ticos by Jefferson Davis unsubstanated by collateral
testimony, would not entte him to dance hornpipe
at ropes end, his definition of treason, given years
ago, and its correspondence with the act confessed,
ought sarely to have come weight with the judges.
Tw years ago, in reply to an invitation to attend the
celebration Of the birthday of Thomas jefferson, at
Salem, Mase., tho great chief of the conspirator',
wrote;
To make wer upon the would be suicidal sndc
not be anticipated until madre and vensy have uurped the
seats oi reason and virtue.
L. Mr.. Davis willing to be tried on the indictment
drawn by himself against biusefi Is he willing to
abide by his ruling, and submit 10 the law lac mas
laid down IL Albany Journal.

IN regard TO bowiekniyes and to suspend the distrbu'

Of deadly weapons, aud the education OF children
stopped!

Aldermen in New Orleans, the Chairman OF the FL
