Reasoning I'm n Circle.

Ia Br. Binghsm's argument akaiHst
the President, having first assumed his
acts to be evil, he says evil intent is to
be presumed from evil acts" Assuming
guilt, it is easy TO presume the evil in
tent, without which guilt cannot exist
And such is the substance Of. the argu-
ment of the leading manager and coun-
sci on the side Of the accusing House.
Why then was the offered proof Of
negative--ihe positive absence of evil
intent-refussd1 Why was the Presi-
dent refused permission to rebut the pre-
sumption Of criminal intent, arising
from acts charged as evil, which even a
negro magistrate would admit from that
sense Of justice common to every crea-
ture having the form of man2 In snch
circumstances, how is it possible TO
doubt the base design to subverl justice

that Fessenden sworn, should appeal

and say be could not afford to perjure
himself for any radical purposes. Who
will, will soon be determined We shall
know whoeovet the roll of infamy in the
conviction Of man innocent Of the
charges preferred against him. The next
step should be indictments for perjury,
If there is justice 10 the land. For there
has not been proof enough adduced to
warrant charity itself in excusing the
most ignorant Of men on the supposition
of q possible belief in the honesty aud
truthfulness Of a verdict for conviction ?
