with what emphasis the Governor dwes upon all Of
the minute directions for the officers. and how he
entirely avoids stating that equally directions
by power tho Govsr-
nor and Council Had these drectons been followed tho
technical defects In return would have been cured
But the Governor and Council chose to d,sobey
functions Of the Judiciary In declaring them un.
constitutional. In his letter TO the public
arcelon remembers forget all this the
trolling fact in the whole eannot withhold my
admiration Of the cooiness and compasanco with which
the Governor refers rejected republican members TO
packed House and senate for hns adjudication Of their
rights. After empaneing tn. sworn twelve With the
Governor turns the innocent man, who IL wrong
fully and wckedly accused, and harsngues him upon
the virtues of trial by jury IL will be further observed
