THE IRISH PATRIOT'S REMARKS.
Before the Sentence of Death teas pronounced by
Chief Justice Doherty.
My Lord*: It is my intention to say a few words only. I
desire that the last act ot a proceeding which has occupied
so much of the public time should be of short duration.
Nor have 1 the indelicate wish to close the dreary cere
mony of a State prosecution by a vain display of wolds.
Did I tear that hereafter, when I shall be no more, the
country 1 have trird to serve would think ill of me, 1
might indeed avail myself of this solemn moment to vin
dicate my sentiments and my conduct. But I have no
such fear. The country will judge of those sentiments
and that conduct in a light far d.ft'erent from that in which
the jury by which 1 have been convicted have viewed
them ; and by the country, the sentence which you, my
Lords, are about to pronounce, will be remembered only
as the severe and solemn attestation of my rectitude and
truth. Whatever be the language in which that sentence
is spoken, l know that rny fate will meet with sympathy,
and that nw memory will bo honored. In speaking thus
accuse me tot, my Lords, of an indecorous presumption.
To the effoits I have made in ajmt and noble cause, I
ascribe no vain importance—nor do I claim for those ef
forts any high reward. But it so happens, and it will ever
happen so, that they who have tried to serve their country,
no matter how week the effort may have been, are sure to
receive the thanks and blessings of its people. With my
country then I leave my memory—my sentiments —my acts
—proudly feeling that they require no vindication from me
this day. A jury ot my countrymen have, it is true, found
me guilty of the crime of which 1 stood indicted. For this
1 entertain not the slightest feeling of resentment towards
them. Influenced as they must have been by the charge of
the Lord Chief Justice, they could have found no other
verdict. What of that charge? Any stroug observations
on it, I feel sincerely, would ill befit the solemnity of this
scene ; but I would earnestly beseech you my lords—you
who preside on that bench—when the passions and preju
dices of this hour have passed away, to appeal to your con
science, and to ask of it was your charge as it ought to have
been—impartial and indifferent between the subject and the
crown.
My lord, you may deem this language unbecoming in me,
and perhaps it may seal my fate. But lam here to speak
the truth, whatever it may cost: lam here to regret noth
ing 1 have ever said. lam here to crave, with no lying lip,
the life I consecrate to the liberty of my country. I arfrom
it ; even here—here, where the thief, the libertine, the
murderer, have left their foot prints in the dust ; here, on
this spot, where the shadows of death surround me, and
from which i see my early grave in an unanointed soil open
ed to receive me—even here, encircled by those terrors, the
hope which has beckoned me to the perilous sea upon
which I have been wrecked, still consoles, animates,enrap
tures me. No, Ido not despair of my poor old country,
her peace, her liberty, her glory. For,that country I can do
no more than bid her hope. To lift this island up, to make
tier a benefactor to humanity, instead of being the meanest
beggar in tht world, to restore to her her native powers and
her ancient constitution, this has been my ambition, and
this ambition lias been my crime. Judged by the law of
England 1 know this crime entails the penalty of death; but
the history of Ireland explains this crime, and justifies it.—
Judged by that history lam no criminal; you (addressing
Mr. M’Manus) are no criminal ; you (addressing Mr.
O’Donohoe) are no criminal. I deserve no punishment ;
we deserve no punishment. Judged by that history, the
treason of which 1 stand convicted loses all guilt, is sancti
fied as a duty, will be ennobled as a sacritice.
With these sentiments, my lord, I await the sentence of
the court. H aving done what 1 felt to b.- my duty, having
spoken what 1 felt to be the tiuth, as I have done on every
other occasion of iny shoit carear, I now bid farewell to
the countiy oftny birth, my passion, and my death ; the
country whose misfortunes have evoked my sympathies,
whose factions I have sought to still, whose intellect 1 have
prompted to a lofty aim, whose freedom has been my fatal
dream. I offer to that country, as a proof of the love I bear
her. and the sincerity with which i thought and spoke
and struggled for her freedom, the life of a young heart, and
with that life all the hopes, the honors, the endearments ot
a happy and honorable home. Pronounce then, my lord,
the sentence which the law directs, and L will be prepared to
hear it. I trust I shall be prepared to meet its execution. I
iiope to be able with a pure heart and perfect composure to
appear before a higher tribunal ; a tribunal where a judge
ol inlinite goodness, as well as of justice, will preside ; and
where, my lord, many, many of the judgments of this world
will be reversed. 1
Chief Justice Doherty then proceeded to pass the sentence
as follows : That you, Terence Beilew .v,’Manus, you
Patrick O'Donohoe, and you Thomas Francis Meagher,
be taken hence, to the place from whence you came, and
be thence drawn on a hurdle to the place of execution, that
each of you be there hanged by the neck until you are dead,
and that afterwards the head of you shall he severed from
the body, and the body of each divided into four quarters, to
be disposed of as her Majesty shall think fit. And may
Almighty God have merey on your souls.
REPLY
To the Joint Committee of the Senate and House of
Representatives of Louisiana.
New York, April 7th, 1851.
Gentlemen:—Your very kind and courteous letter has
just been received, enclosing a resolution off he Legislature,
which extends to me the distinguished honor of an invita
tion to the hospitalities of your State capital. It is indeed
a distinction wholly unexpected, and I fear hardly merited;
but it were affectation to deny that it has given me the
keenest pleasure, and will always be remetnbeied with
pride.
My warmest thanks are especially due for this high and
authoritative recognition of the cause of Irish nationality,
for which cause I, as well as many better men, have for
years endured the most curious refinements of malignant
vengeance at the hands of our country’s enemies. And
now that the corrupt Parliament, press, and administration
of England are eagerly heaping deadly insults and calum
nies upon the names of their intended victims, it is, to me at
least, much more than a compensation that I am addressed
with fraternal respect, and my hand is grasped in friendship
by a higher and prouder race of freemen than Europe has
known for two thousand years.
The course which I have taken as a journalist, on some
questions ofvital public interest, and which has had the
good fortune to meet with the marked approval of the Leg
islature ofLouisiana, teas dictated solely by my own long
settled opinions and feelings. The ungenerous imputation
which has been made—that I took that course in order to
court and flatter the. South at the expense of the North—the
North where I have made my own home—must, to South
erners appear irritated enough. And even those who make
such a charge must themselves disbelieve it, for obvious
reasons. In truth I took no thought of South or of North
at all, —of sectional interests or geographical parallels of
latitude ; but, on a great question of social polity arising
for discussion, 1 felt mysell entitled, and indeed bound (hav
ing undertaken to conduct a journal at all) to deal with the
same plainly and independently. If my conclusions differ
from those of several politicians, orator and philosophers of
these parts, perhaps it is because I have drawn mine from
some considerable study of history and politics in ancient
and modern times, and not exclusively from the newspa
pers of Old England—the lecturers of New England, and
the Gospel according to the apostles of “Progress.” Once
lor all, I refuse to believe that human wisdom and virtue
were born about the beginning of the nineteenth century—
were cradled in Exeter Hall—were suckled, like the twins
of Rhea Silvia, by a she-wolf (or strong-minded female) —
and have reached their highest development and bright con
summate blossomingm a ‘Garrisonion” of Boston, howling
against the Union, as a dog bays the moon.
You will not condemn, nor wonder at, the zeal of a
stranger and refugee, for that Union. In my case it is not
unnatural. To me, from my childhood, the United States
has been a sacred Unity—one and indivisible—thecomplet
est, grandest achievement and monument of the wit and
courage of Man in modern times. The admiration became
a passion ; and the passion led me for, and cost me dear:
but the dearer it has cost me the more jealously and proudly
1 cherish now my old faith and hope; now when the ban
ner I gazed on so long from hopeless distance, with ‘the
desire of the moth for the star,’gleams and waves above
me at last. May the colors of God’s bow be torn asunder
ere the Stripes ot the majestic banner !
I beg,gentlemen, that you will convey to both Houses
of the Legislature rny warmest acknowledgments ot their
goodness ; and assure them that I shall endeavor, at an
early day, to avail myself of their invitation, and visit Baton
Rouge. With sentiments of high consideration,
1 have the honor to be,
Your obedient servant,
JOHN MITCHELL.
Rail Road Accident.
A correspondent of the Charleston Courier says: “On
Tuesday morning, the 18th inst., the morning train from
Petersburg to Weidon, met with a terrible accident, the
particulars of which are as follows :
At about twenty five mile-s from Weldon, one car was
thrown off the rails, the locomotive killing two cows,
which ran over the linesjust when the train came along in
speed, before it could be stopped. The bottom of the car
next to the baggage car, broke literally into pieces, and the
passengers, ten or twelve in number, fell through it, all of
them bruised, and their clothes torn into patches. One,
however, did not escape as well as his fellow sufferers. He
is an agent of Adam’s Express Company. His left leg and
arm are entirely broken, and otherwise “bruised very badly.
The Conductor was dragged along by the detached loco
motive and baggage cars, more than twenty yards, and
miraculously escaped, even without serious bruises, Tne
man with bis broken limbs was sent back to Petersburg,
whom we saw very calm, but he pressed his hand to h s
head, and said : “ 1 feel death is corning ” There was a
physician in the same car, who fell also tnrough, and he too,
was seriously bruised. He had a young negro boy, who
was tied to the first seat near the platform, who despite of
his fall, did not hurt himself at all.
It seems to us that the bottom of the car was rotten, else
it might have resisted the shock, as we who were in the
next car to that one which broke, scarcely felt the shock.
[From the New York Herald.]
Loss of the Ship I’owhattau.
The ship Powhattan, which went ashore on the night of
the Jsth inst., on the outside bar about midway between
Barnegat and Egg Harbor Inlets, and there was beaten to
pieces by the waves, was a Baltimore vessel, of about 600
tons, and about 15 years old. She was commanded by
Capt. Meyer of Baltimore, was on her way from Havre,
April Ist, to New York, and had on board, some 200 emi
grants, nearly all of whom were Germans. She was load
ed with iron for ballast. Ship, crew, passengers and cargo
were all lost.
Alter running before the gale nnder bare poles for several
hours,she struck the bar above mentioned, and there re
mained until Sunday evening, 5 o’clock, before she disap
peared. The ship was literally beaten into splinters. It
was observed by ihose on shore that at the moment of her
grounding she “hauled to the wind,” from which circum
stance it was impossible that any on board could leave her
except to encounter certain death.
During the night of Saturday, and all day Sunday up to
5 o’clock P. M. her passengers and crew, nearly 250 per
sons, were seen clinging to the leeward bulwarks ol the ship
the waves running mountain high, and at every dash, car
rying over some of the unfortunate victims. It is supposed
that one hundred persons were swept off” at one time by a
single wave, which is represented to have towered upwards
to an immense height. Between four and five o’clock on
Sunday evening, the bulwarks burst and about fifty persons
were at this moment thrown into the sea ; the voice of the
Captain was heard by those on shore, “For God’s sake save
those who are drowning but it was impossible, so high
ran the waves, to offer the least assistance. Captain Jen
nings, the wreck master at Long Beach, and others made
the attempt but was foiled.
The ship now began to go to pieces, and by five o’clock
not a vestige of her was to he seen except a few scattered
timbers strewed around the spot where she went down.—
Next morning the beach was strewn with dead bodies, bag
gage and small fragments of the vessel. Thirty five pas
sengers’ boxes were washed ashore, also around a man’s
waist a belt was found containing S4O, ond marked “G.
Kill.” Several trunks were marked respectively, “T. G.”

lady’s ring with the initials “K. L.” was also found.

Campbell’s Route to tlie Pacific.
Our old friend, Mr. James Campbell, passed through
our city a short lime since, on his return from California
to his home in San Antonio. Mr. Campbell set out from
Eagle Pass on the 12th of last June, and arrived at War
ner's Ranch within 555 milts of San Diego, on the 12th
of October, having performed this first expedition with a
train of wagons and drove of cattle, in the short spaeo of
four months , and on ihe whole trip, he did not meet
with the slightest difficulty, eitli. r from Indians, bad roads,
scarcity of water, or of grasss, or from any other cause.
About 40 miles South-west of the Copper Mines, Mr. C.
met with a party of Apache Indians, the Chief of whom,
he engaged as a guide to direct him, on the most direct,
praetible route to the mouth of the Gila. The guide said
that a perfectly straight course was just as good as any
other, and accordingly by his direction they pursued a
course by the compass, West 8 degrees South from the
Copper Mines, which took them to the Gila, in a distance
of 510 miles. The first 350 miles was over a prairc coun
try with a level and smooth surface, with, now and then,
some slight undulations, presenting a most beautiful ap
pearance the whole way, and affording an excellent natu
ral wagon road, with an abundance of grass, and good
water for stock. Within two or three miles to their right
there was a range of hills covered with cedar, pine, and
black locust timber. Alter passing over the distance of
350 miles, they struck the spur of a mountain crossing
their course nearly at right angles, but this presented very
little obstruction, as the wagons still kept on without slop
ping, the ascent on this side and descent on the other,
being very gradual, and the distance over being but about
half a mile. About fifty miles further on the same course
(W. 8 S.) they pasted the Mexican town ol Teuson a few
miles on their right, the country still presenting the same
general level and beautiful appearance, with good gra
zing and plenty of water. The same course pursued 110
miles beyond Teuson, brought them to the Gila, without
any material change in the general aspect of the country.
They struck the Gila at a point 40 miles below, or west
of the Pimos Village, a*, a place on Cook’s route, called
by him, Camp Monument. This was a monument erec
ted by the Boundary Commissioners. Up to this point,
Mr. Campbells’ route was altogether different, he believes
from that pursued by any other parly, and shortening the
distance pursued by others, by ibout 200 miles. From
this place he proceeded down the Gila, changing his gen
eral course a little more to the South of West than it had
been. He found a good wagon road along the Gila, with
out meeting a single obstruction for a distance of 135
miles which brought him to the mouth of the Gila, or the
point where it empties in the Colorado, lie cross
ed the Colorado by Ankrum’a Ferry, without
any difficulty, and then proceeded down on
the right bank of the Colorado, a distance of 18 miles,
the valley affording a good wagon road, though covered
over with scattering nun-quit timber. Here the parly en
tered what is called the “Desert of the West,” through
which they pursued a due West course 110 miles.—
This Desert is a tomiuuous sand plain, as h rd
as Galveston Beach, with the exception of about
two miles of heavy sand. For a distance of 05 miles
through this desert, they had New River on their left,
which is bordered w ith a heavy grow th of musquit timber
their course, in some places touching the projecting points
of tha timber. There was very little vegetation through
this desert, though water can at any time be had in abun
dance by digging about seven feet. But as it was in the
wet season, when Mr. Campbell pastd through, he found
plenty of stock water in the lakes without digging for it.
The general sterile appearance continued, without timber
or vegetation o! any consequence, till he reached Teucy
Creek, the termination ot the Desert, where he found
good grazing’ Crossing this Creek he proceeded a little
to the North of West to Bellecita,an ojd Indian town, the
country still continuing near a perfect level with moun
tains and plenty of cedar timber on the left. Thence to
Sau Felipe, a distance of 18 miles, they passed over a
small ridge 0 miles beyond Baliecita. At Sau Felipe they
found abundance of grass and some friendly Indians. A
distance of 18 miles more, brought the party to Warner’s
Ranch, the road being good, and grass and water abun
dant all the way. Beyond this Ranch, the country be
comes more hilly, and, therefore, Mr. Campbell left his
wagons here, and proceeded with his herd of beeves
through a most beautilul valley to San Isabel, ten miles
beyond Warner’s. From Sun Isabel the distance to San
Diego, the first port on the Pacific, is 45 miles South
west over the first rough ond hilly country Mr. Campbell
had encountered from the lime he.left El Paso. But even
here the hills are so broken arid separated by so many in
tervening valleys, that he found a tolerable good wagon
road could be had by occasionally deviating from the di
rect couise. From San Isabel io San Francisco the course
is about North west, and the distance estimated 600 miles
over a mountainous country presenting many difficulties
of access, according to the best information Mr. Campbell
could obtain.— Galveston News.
Sloshing About.
The Judges often tell s ories on the members of the
bar, albeit they are much oftencr the subjects of stories
themselves. We lately heard one of the former illustra
ting the propriety of ‘ letting well enough alone,” by the
following anecdote :
An affray case was on trial in the Circuit Court of Pike
eounty, in which some six or eight breakers were
represented by almost as many lawyers, each of whom,
in turn, put tlie only witness for the State through the
tortures of a tedious cross examination. Nat , a
well know n Montgomery practitioner, was of counsel for
a big black fellow in the crowd, who answered to the
name of Saltonstall. As to this defendant, the only proof
which was elicited on the examination in chief of the wit
ness for the prosecution, was that—to use the poeular
phraseology of the narrator-—“while tlie rc.-t on ’em was
a cussin’ and clineliin’ and pairing off for a reg’lar r’yal,’
Saltonstall jest kept sloshin’ about.'’’ This txpr. seiou
w s repeated a halt'd) z n times — Saltonstall kept slosh
in’ about. The Solicitor and Nat bath construed ibis to
tr.oin that Saltonstall was only moving about, drunk,
among the combatants, and the former did not press for
an explanation. Presently, however, it came to Nat’s turn
to cross examine for his client ; and ns he had iceeived
[TERMS, $2 00 IN ADVANCE.
quite n handsome fee considering how things stood, he felt
bouad to make something of a “demonstration.” So
quoth he, with the air of the avenger of injured inno
cence :
“Come, witness, say over again what it was that Mr.
Saltonstall had to do with this affair I”
“Saltonstall ? Why, I’ve told you several times, the
rest on ’em clinched and paired off', but Saltonstall , he
jist kept sloshin’ about.”
“Ah, my good fellow,” exclaimed Nat, quite testily,
“we want to know what that is. It isn’t exactly legal evi
dence in the shape you put it. TeH us what you mean by
sloshin’ about.'’
“Well,” answered the witness very deliberately, “I’ll
try. You see, John Brewer and Sykes they clinched
and fout. That’s in a legle form, ain’t it ?’’
“Oh, yes !” said Nat—“go on !”
“Abneyand Blackman theu pitched into one another
and Blackman bit oft’ a piece of Abney’s lip—that’s legle,
too, ain’t it ?”
“Proceed !’’
“Simpson and Bill Stones and Murray was all together
on the ground, a bitin’, gougin’, and kickin’ one another
—that’s legle, too, is it ?”
“Very I —but go on !”
“And Saltonstall made it his business to walk backwards
and forwards, through the crowd, with a big stik in his
hand, and knock down every loose man in the crowd a*
fast as he come to ‘em ! That’s what I call sloshin’
ABOUT !”
Nat is of opinion, now, that unless a prima facie case
is made out by prosecution, on the direct examination of
their witnesses, it is quite as well for the defendant to
waive his right to cross examine.— Montgomery [Ala.]

Tlie English view ot the lllack Warrior Affair.
The London Gazette of the 7th inst., says :
“That Cuba will be added to tbe dominion of the Uui
ted States wo consider a matter of certainty, and setting
aside the policy of the question, it will he a fortunate
event for civilization and humanity. Spain is now the
only country which still clings to the slave trade. It no
longer exists in the Brazilian dominions, and there is
every reason to suppose that, were it not for the Island
of Cuba, the horrid traffic would soon be extinct through
out the world. Spain has been largely paid by this coun
try, with tlie hope that it would, in accordance with the
treaties it had made with us, abandon the trade. It has
never shown the least disposition to do so ; on the con
trary, we believe that British money has often proved a
stimulant to the traffic by furnishing the means lor ear
ning it on. W hen we find an object on which Great
Britain has expended so much money, and on the ac
complishment of which the national feelings are so much
engag’ and, defeated by such a country as Spam—a country
which has neither moral worth nor political influence to
command respeet or consideration—we cannot but regard
its reverses iu this instance with satisfaction.
The Herald and the President.
Our correspondent from Washirgton animadverts with
scarcely adequate severity on the coarse and caluminous
language in which journals in the interest of the opposition
speak ot the personal character of the President ot the Uni
ted States. The more respectable portion of the Whig
pre-s scorn to minister to the vulgar appetite of party spirit
by assailing the honor ot the Chief Magistrate of the coun
try, and it is only when—as with the N. York Herald and
the National Democrat—some personal disappointment or
private grief is to be avenged That Mr. Pierce is character
ized in any but the most respelftful and decorous language.
The style in which these profligate prints denounce Mr.
Pierce would not be foierated in the iclations of private
life, and it Bennett or Burr were to libel a Broadway Mer
chant as they libel the President ol'the United States, they
would be condemned to expiate their guilt by the appropri
ate penance of the penitentiary. It matters not that the
drivate and public demeanor ot Mr. Pierce is above reproach
for the Satanic Press have an unlimited credit with the
father ol lies when the resources of truth and probability fail
them. Decent and sensibl men will read the disuniting dia
tribes ol the Herald, not with a diminished respect for Mr.
Pierce, but if possible with a more intense contempt for the
confidential organ of his Infernal Majesty.— Richmond En

The following are the remarks ol'the correspondent:
Universal disgust is excited hero, among men of all par
ties, at the character of the personal attacks made upon the
President, of which the late one of the New York Herald
about the Gutting and Breckenridge affair, was the most
brutal. Such a method of political warfare should meet
witli no countenance any where. It shows to what ex
tremes the opposition must be pushed when, without the
legitimate weapons of political assault, it finds itself com
pelled to resort to those which are revolting to a sense of
decency. Arid Gen. Pierce should certainly be exempt
from such assaults; for there is uo one whose tone and
bearing as a gentleman are more unexceptionable.

Direct Trade with Europe, —A correspondent of
the Advertiser <J- Gazette says:
“The United States Charge d’Affairs at this Court,
(Belgium) has been laboring diliigently—and with some
success —to promote a more extensive and direct trade
with Antwerp from the Southern portion of the United
States. It is the best port on the Western coast of
Europe, from the Mediterranean to the Baltic, not ex
cepting Havre. It is three or four hundred miles near
er the great centre of the cotton consuming and manu
facturing countries of Europe than the latter port.—
Belgium has the finest system of railroads in Europe,
and Antwerp is connected by them, directly or indirect
ly, with every important mail road on the continenent;
and with almost every city, including Paris, Berlin,
5 ienna, Cologne, and the Rhine. The Merchants at
Antwerp are willing to advance on cotton from six to
nine months at the rate office per cent, per annum;
and to sell at two per cent, commissions. By a little
exertion on the part of the people of the South, 1 feel sure
a more extended and letter market may be opened to
oar products; and that we may with great advantage
to ourselves, take in exchange many of the most excel
lent manufactues of this country. The American
Charge here, has elaborated these views in a letter
to the Southern Commercial Convention, whieh will
have assembled in Charleston on the 10th instant.
The Charleston Standard and the African Slave
Trade. —This journal attributes the superior prosperity
of the North over the South, to the abolition of the
slive trade. The Standard says :
Up to that time the area of slavery was extending,—
they were ahead in internal improvements, and their
will was law, —but since this time their hands haw been
tied and the North lias whipped them at leisure.
All the extraordinary and unnatural accessions to
our strength which come from abroad were poured
upon tlie Northern States, and w hile they have pre
elude us from the energies of a foreign people in our
works of progress, they have appropriated them with
limbless avidity. They give to emigrants the right to
vote in State elections, immediately upon the declara
tion of their intention to become citizens of the United
States, ami upon the instant they are armed, aim to con
trol the action of our common government. Whatever
iffe-ets may have resulted from the abolition of the slavo
trade, it is tery certain that it has been an overwhelm
ing concession of political power to the North.
