Guiteau's Trlal-HIs Own Speech.

The speech that Gulteau wrote in
his cell, and which Judge Cox de-
cided he should not be permitted to
deliver to the jury, was given out
for publication yesterday. Guitoad
says it contains his true defence,
and he repudiates the line of de-
fence adopted for him by his law
yers. He hopes Judge Cox will yet
conclude to let him deliver it, and
ifnot, he is satisfied the court in
banc will reverse the decision.
The speech starts out with the
declaration that he stands before
the jury as a patriot, suffering in
bonds for an act that was done for
the good Of the American people,
Much oft has been heard before in
his testimony and in lis various ad.
dresses to the public from Jail.
Some rhetorical passages that it
contains have appeared again and
again in his |utterances in and out
of court. He reasserts that the
Deity inspired him, pictures the
political situation at TIE tine, de.
clares that there have been several
interferen9es by Providence in his
behalf, and threatens dire things to
the American people if be, as the
representative Of the Deity, is in
jured, He tells The jury that it is
their business to acquit him and SO
vindicate his inspiration. He claims
he was insane when be sho! the
President, and that as soon as it
was done the pressure on his mind
was relieved. So rash an act, he
argues, could only have been the
work of a mailman.
lie quotes many letters to him,
to show, as he says, that public
opinion has changed in his favor.
He deAounces the testimony of the
experts as worthless, and stignatiz.
&c that of certain other witnesses as
false.
His closing appeal to the jury
ends with the statement that when
the President was shot the Cabinet
officers ~telegraphed to Europe That
it was the act of mailman, and he
thinks it will be far better every
way if it is now officially decided
that it was the act of a madman.--
