I am not surprised at the verdict con

pretend to .be zchristiang men, and
therefore did not appreciate the idea
of inspiration. They are men of the
world and of moderate intelligence,
and therefore are not capable of ap-

prove by. my papers and by Mr,
Brooks testimony, on JSly I'd and Sd,

have been the same rs if l had heen
directed by ths Deity to do it, or2bee
lieyed myself so directed to do, which
IS the literal truth, as I prove by all
my papers and talk on the subject.
This jury had not sufficient intelli-
gence to see that point, and entirely
ignored the political and patriotic ne
cesity for the act which all christian
and Intelligent people see. For this
reason 1 am entitled to new trirl, if
for no other, and we have predictions
