If you will allow me I mi briefly
giro yon some incidents of that trial—
a trial whore innocent men were
ed to the penitentiary by a man whopi
you properly characterize us a
pointed office seeker"—anisn 111 whom
there is HO pity, and also olio
only ambition on e&rth seems to bo
to revenge himself upon those who did
hbt vote for bint for c >b gross.
This defendants went to trial tiHclor
the most e rn harassing oirclimstatice-',
and though , ftch of IlUni ivas uiulor
large, gocid arid sufficient bond, they
wore, over the s<d, (tin prO'eat of their
oownsel, [tut, pending their trial, in
tho enstofy of the marshall mid sent
, n handcuffs to the jail, thus depriv-
j n g them of tlie privilegjStad eonfarrRP^vith coneti-
twti'oual rieht, of their
witnesses and preparing by themselves
and tkeir counsel their deffense.
Tlms hampered, a jury was impan-
ded; but, oh! what a jury! One of
tlK ,e e pl 1 ,t upon the prisoners was a
mun {fdm Gmineotiout; who
had only been a resident of the state
about five weeks, and the others were
a conglomeration of negrtea and men
Who were hardly as good as those
with whom they Wert) annotated. The
whole .‘•■peetncle of arraignment was a
shame upon the law and judiciary of
the United States. Eveu 8peer s'ectnod

extraordinary trial, what the judge

Theee were noble words and fi'ly spot-

try Mill honor his name.

It was pronounced by those who heard
it to have been tlie most masterly and
eloquent argument i vfir delivered by
thin dieiinpuialied gentleman. Even
the Constitution (a payfer printed in

ishing effect the decision <>n this sub¬
ject of Me Cay, when he was judge of

trayed the dariger to a >cidy of con vie-
