bC iiound l a v P l ° for the principles °f t,,u WH,
Vhe held himself at l.berty to vote for its
Imeiil.' A*very interesting running do-
. ,, nS ued, Mr. J. M. Clayton moved to
f^rthe bill to the committee on Finance with
• rt «tructions t<» restore the mmimiims and spe-
' L duties of the act of 1842. Mr. Jarnagiu
j l.e could not vote for that motion and it was
Jicquenjiy lost. Mr. J. M. Clayton then

Hereupon, another interesting and exerting

tule f„ r die. motion. After the debate in the
l ist of intense anxiety the v<>te was taken,
tid iIhj result was 28 in favor of and 27 ugainst
iLc motion. ..
Here was a sudden change of position, the
fncm h of the bill, equally with its opponents,
considered this vote as a virtual defeat of the
y as an indirect mode of killing it—smother-
j— it, by instructions prescribing duties which
jj^ms impossible for the committee to perform
m the short period of the session left. The
fntndsof the measure were depressed, its op-
Minrntselulsid.
‘ Tnc next, day came. The Senate whs a-

1,1ft io carry the bill, and for that purpose tliev
ganl to ask to be discharged from further con

„id dial In these circumstances, lie felt bound
krhis instructions to vote for the motion. He
[Led ilnt the bill might be amended, but he
i, could not. lie must therefore vote foi
it in arcwdai c.s with his instructions. But as
fewuulJuol have it sai l that this tariff was
famed utf the country by a Whig vote, he
would leave the casting vote on the question, ot
ordering the bill to a 3d reading, to tho Vice
President, and rcfiuin front v.niog hiiwell oil
nut question, while he would vote for its pas-
„ur. lhi|»« again dwelt in the hearts «l the
ifjendi of t ie measure. Tho vole was taken
.«i discharging th« Committee. It wns carried
to J.irnagiii’s vote, and the bill was again before
the Senate. Avery interesting debate again

enke oiit-lbe 9tli section, lo which much ob-

EXTRACT FROM THE DIARY OF A LAW
YER. NO. VI.
I pass over the thrilling interview at tho jail,
with Mr. James, with the single remark, that
innocence cannot long suffice ignominy under
any circumstances or in any situation. It is
now Wednesday, April 1825—it is the
great day of Mr. James’ life—tho day which
is lo decide whether he is guilty or not guilty,
of the wilful murder of Horace Benlly—
Hope! how it filled his cell fora moment, with
all the dear ones he used to love so well—O,
stay sweet charmer but for a little, help me to
forget my fetters—to forget the terrible trial
which awaits me ! Visions of my innocent
boyhood leave one not to stand alone on tho
confines of the world! I know that L
loves me, but then, she is so young, her im
pressions are transient she will weep awhile
o’er my sorrows, and then forget me! While-
this dialogue of the heart was going on 1 en
tered the juil-door. 1 had called to inform Mr.
Janies that ill-health would prevent me from
aiding in his defence; that my .strength would
be barely sufficient to enable me to be present
at the trial. 1 found him tranquil and reso
lutely bent on standing bis trial that day, and
the loss of the services of one of bis counsel did
not appear to disconcert him at all. It was
inconceivable to me bow any person could be
so perfectly calm and collected under such em
barrassing circumstances. “ All my life long,
said Mr. James, I have had an unconquerable
aversion to a a court and jury—my doctrine
has always been to let people settle their dis
putes in their own way, without invoking the
aid of the ministers of the law; this is my first
caso, and it shall be the last—willingly or un
willingly, however, my life will soon be in the
hands of twelve men. But what of that (con
tinued James) conscious of my innocence I
ear no evil; ,danger will vanish l.ke an evil (
spirit at the sound of a church-bell. Does the ,
bird fear when tbe wind rises from the north ?
can lie not make his way through the heavens
to the waters of the sunny south 1 Tne birds
neither sow nor reap, and yet, tell me. Mr. S.
if you ever knew one to die of hunger I The . ,
Lord watclieth over all—lie will take care of a^-a two ycar». »ix months onJ twenty-»i»re« « ^
me, for I have lately learned to put my trust
in Him." It D now ten oiclock, A. M.—tho

Slowly, a girl dressed in deep mourning, ap

MR. JARNAGIN.
Speaking of the passage of the Tariff Du.,
the Union of the 29th ult. says, “ Mr. Jarnagin
proved true to himself, and to his State, and
the positive instructions of her legislature, and
voted for the bill. On two occasions he with
drew from the hall for the purpose of producing
a tie vote, and calling out-the Vico President s
constitutional casting vote ; and nobly did he
meet the occasion, and delivered a speech
which deserves to be inscribed on the same tab
let with the celebrated^speecli of old George
Clinton, of N. Y., When from the same chair he
gave the casting yote against a renewal of the
first bank of the United States.”

He exhibits no uneasiness:, no sigli is heard,
no quiver of the I.d is seen, nor does the keen,
searching glance o‘f the court disturb the equa

James’ powers of resolution-so firm and vigo
rous bis conviction* of his innocence, that nei
ther tne painful memories of the past, nor the
terrible associations of tbe present, oppressed
or confused him. Ho thought not for the mo

not the extreme peril of his situation, but threw
himself boldly and calmly upon the justice of

The mother of the prisoner sits beside him,
looks encouragingly into his face and says,
.. faar nothing my son, my only son, you are in
nocent, be a roan.” It is now 11 o'clock, and
the court-house is crowded to overflowing.
The prisoner is arraigned—lie pleads ‘‘not
guilty,” and the clerk enters the arraignment
and plea upon tlui minutes of tbe court. The
excitement' is now intense, hut the mo«t pro-
fauud sijence is observed by tile vast assem
blage. The nuoriiey for the St?to opens ibe
case before the jury. He fires 3 sketch of the
prisoner’s life—-refers briefly U> the tycts which
he expects to establish in evidence, and con-
eludes his opening remarks by telling tbe jury,
“ that for himself be had no doubt ot the guilt
of the prisoner, and was equally clear that it
would be their painful duty to find him guilty
of the mime with which he stood charged. ---
