ft Ki:h to try or Execute Jeff r
ion Davis?
From the Constitutional Union.
The question we profrfwe to di=cu.=*< is one
pfverv groat imporfanee. fe.r on its solution
depend, not only the life of a lellow-bcmg
tut a*so the value of our- national faith and
nioralitv in the estimation of mankind. The
world will wa ch us narrowly in the exam
ination of this subject, and judge us hy the
decision we shall torin on it. Let us then
caltul.y investigate it, and dismiss in in out
miSUs every feeling that can in any way
fetter our reason or warp it from truth.
Has the I'lilted States Government a
right to try or OX. cute .Jefferson Davis ?_
We aoswei unhesitatingly that it has n .
such right Every candid man mu-t admit
that the late (’onlt deracy was recognised t.y
y>ur Government as a fc lligereiit pmvi r ; eon
Sdiueutly ir admitted the right in that in
tipient sovereignty to r. pel by force the It ■
tile invasion of its teiritori s Itv our arn.ii s

confessed ours Ives, I v our public an I di
plmuatic nets, belonged to them '!
One of Che primary consequ uces of re
cognizing the Confederacy as a heliigerent
poser was that the fai'lt of the nation was
pleJa- and to treat honorably all Dunfcd. ra es
that should Jail into our hands, aid to re
gard their lives us inviolate. To extent.
Mr. Da'is, therefore, would be to for-went
our public faith, to perjure ourselves before
the world, to draw down on tts the hissings
ami cxcera'ien of mankind, and to entail on
our posteiity the inheritance of eternal in
tatny. The radicals are hoar-e from howl
ing out that Mr. D.n is is a tr.ifnr and there
fore should nit et will) the. fate of a traitor
or in other weeds die like a dog. But what
viiliany or impiety is there that, this genera
tiou of \ ipors. It ive not utter, and for the last

In reply to this how! of tho radicals, we

in this country has proved an utter failure,
and that the South will never have any
rights while attached to the government,
but she is unable to help herself—she is
simply a prisoner of war, liaving the power
to demand nothing ; her true policy is to
wait with patience until she has the power
to demand her rights. We have confidence

we have been wrong 1 too much for the
authors of that wrong to escape unpunished .

among themselves, or by trouble with some
other ration—a lime when we may hope
successfully to demand our rights—hut it

A Life-Saving Bathing Apparatus.
A French engineer named Descn is exhibit
ing in London a bathing apparatus which is
also a life preserver. It is of simple con
struction, resemples a child's cradle, the
upper part having a cylindrical cork-float,
canvassed ovtr, nearly .surrounding the ma
chine, which keeps the bather afloat with
the greatest ease and safety. The body con
sists of a r.ct, with light iron tubular pipes
for supports ; and the bottom or bed piece
of twilled tick, at the foot of which there is
a screw copper rudder, which turns upon a
swivel with a pair of cork soles the shape
of the foot. Against this thu bather place?
his feet, and is thus enabled to guide or
steer himself in any direction, while by the
use of a handle attached to the left side of the
apparatus below the cylinder, he is enabled
to propel himself or recede. This invention
can be used in the open sea, as well as on a
river or lake.
