the only defence that remains for the prisoner at the bar. If he were in truth upon that expedition, then he is guilty, and so you must pronounce him. But, gentlemen, if he was at that time five, or six, or seven miles distant, if he had no participation in that enterprise, then the same great principles of justice require that you should pronounce him innocent. The evidence sustaining this defence consists of the depositions of individuals avowedly participating in the expedition, and secondly of the oral testimony of several individuals showing, or tending to show, that McLeod was, during the execution of this enterprise, at a distant spot-in another town. person to Niagara on the day of the destruction of the William Stocking was called and corroborated the First, then, with regard to the evidence of the commissions. The prisoner's counsel is right in telling positively as to McLeod's being there on the night of you that evidence taken in this way, is, and should be, less satisfactory than that given personally before you. But so far as the depositions themselves go to describe the individuals testifying, you may desire some information respecting the standing and character of those individuals. Some of them are lawyers -some of them mariners-and some officers in her majesty's service, and by their descriptions they should all be men of character and responsibility. It has been said that this commission was a "roving commission"-that witnesses were examined whose names had not been returned. But there was in the spirit of liberality, and by consent, a stipulation made that more witnesses than those named might be examined. It was also hinted that some suspicion should attach to these depositions from the manner in which they had been made up. [The learned judge here described the manner in which the commissions were executed, and showed that no suspicion could properly rest upon them. He then proceeded.] The attorney general has noticed the testimony of these deponents with great minuteness, and equally great ability. He has pointed out where the witnesses have contradicted each other or the truth. For instance, some saying that resistance was made on board the boat, whereas it has been shown that there was no resistance. If the witness swore so knowing that they were swearing falsely, that will of course detract from their credibility. But Wells himself testifies that he heard the sounds of fighting, and that in the darkness of the night and confusion of the melee, the attacking party had mistaken each other for the occupants of the boat, and that they fought together. If that were true, then it would not follow that in testifying as to resistance encountered on board the boat, they were not false in the corrupt sense of the term. Passing from this, there is this other consideration, which must strike you in the outset. If, when Alexander McLeod sued out this commission, and directed the commissioners to examine persons who had been in each of the boats, and if in truth he had been present there himself, he must be a bold man indeed. Because he must have supposed that the commissioners would either have taken only those who could not see in the dark whether he was there or not, or that the men would have been so corrupt as to swear falsely to extricate him from the punishment of his crime. But this is no further evidence than as it is a portion of the history of the transaction, and with these views you are to take up the testimony and ascertain, after solemn inquiry, how much credit you should give these witnesses. The family of Capt. Morrison and himself swear "We have," replied the foreman. "What say you, gentlemen, do you find Alexander McLeod guilty or not guilty?" "NOT GUILTY." All was hushed and quiet-no excitement visible any where. The prisoner's keen grey eyes brightened up somewhat, and taking his hat and cloak, he slowly retired with his counsel. POLITICS OF THE DAY. WHIG STATE CONVENTION. From the Albany Evening Journal. SYRACUSE, THURSDAY, OCT. 7. The convention re-assembled in the Congregational church at 9 o'clock, A. M. when the committee on the address and resolutions reported. The address having been read by the hon. D. D. Barnard. Mr. John A. King, of Queens, rose, and in a most powerful speech supported its adoption. The convention, and a large audience, were most highly gratified, and were enchained for more than half an hour by the spell of the orator, save when involuntary bursts of applause broke forth. Mr. Alvah Worden, of Ontario, next rose and warmly seconded the adoption of the address, and heartily responded to the remarks of the gentleman. from Queens, urging upon the great whig party to stand by the principles embodied in the noble address, and concluded by desiring that the document might be placed in every hall and hamlet of the state and nation. The address was adopted by acclamation. Mr. David Graham, of New York, rose and read the resolutions proposed by the committee, and supported their adoption in an animated speech. This is the aggregate of the testimony, gentlemen, Mr. J. N. Reynolds, of New York, seconded their on this part of the defence. The evidence of the adoption, and paid a high eulogium to the talents and Morrisons and the declaration of McLeod on his ex-services of the hon. N. P. Tallmadge, and on the deamination have been submitted to you and criticised votion and untiring zeal of the whig members of this by the attorney general with great ability. If he has state generally, at the recent extra session. satisfied you that the Morrisons may have been mistaken as to dates, and in particular in reference to this great epoch, and that the other witnesses corroborating them may have also been mistaken, then your confidence in this portion of the testimony vanishes. But if you decide on just grounds otherwise, then it should I think be deemed satisfactory in establishing the innocence of the prisoner. [Mr. Spencer then requested the court to charge the jury that the deposition of Col. Cameron corroborated essentially the statement of Capt. Morrison, which his honor did, and proceeded]: But gentlemen, if, even after all, though the prisoner may in your opinion have failed completely in proving an alibi, yet if he has raised sufficient doubt as to his guilt, he is to have the full benefit of that doubt. The law never divides between the living and the dead-never consigns any individual to the tomb without an overwhelming amount of evidence to prove the guilt of the accused. In this spirit you are now to consider the evidence which I have fully reviewed before you. And now, gentlemen, my task is performed. Your duty remains to be done. And it is one of the most solemn trusts that can be reposed in the citizen. You are to take this case into your deliberate consideraIt is undoutedly true, gentlemen, that Sears cannot tion.

Now, gentlemen, it is proper that you should apply attending to it—will be satisfied. Mr. D. D. Barnard, of Albany, then rose aud said that after what had fallen from the gentleman from New York he hardly knew how to express himself for the generous manner in which the conduct of the New York members of congress had been noticed and dwelt upon. He said that one and all had only performed their duty as whigs-more they could not do-less they dare not have done. He then went into a history of the measures of the extra session of congress, and commented severely upon the exercise of the veto power, condemning its abuse. He argued that the only true way to test the principles of a party in power was to go back and see what they promised before obtaining it-and affirmed that the measure twice vetoed was the prominent measure of relief promised by the whigs; à sound and uniform national currency, to be moulded and formed in a law for the custody, safe-keeping, and disbursement of the public money, immediately on the repeal of the sub-treasury law which was expected to be repealed by the people who placed the whigs in power, and this new fabric reared over its grave. That President Tyler knew derived from his votes and speeches and referred to this. He gave the political history of the president, his course in the Harrisburg convention, and read his answer to the interrogatories addressed to him from and second bank bills introduced and carried through Henrico. He, Mr. B. gave the history of the first at the extra session, particularly the second, framed as it was with the express intention to meet in every respect the president's peculiar notions. He then exposed the present situation of our fiscal affairs, and showed that the public moneys were now where they were when Gen. Jackson seized them-and President Tyler doing as Gen. Jackson did, controlling their custody-and showed from President Tyler's former speeches that he had most strongly condemned such a state of things at that time; calling Gen. Jackson for so doing "every inch a king!" He observed that the mind of man has as yet but devised three ways for keeping the public money.

With this remark, I leave in your hands this portion of the prisoner's defence. We come now to the proof of an alibi, which, if sustained, can leave no doubt of the prisoner's innocence,unless you can believe him gifted with ubiquity. The first witness to prove this is William Press. He avers that he conveyed the prisoner and another At about 4 o'clock, P. M. his honor concluded, and the case was then given to the jury, who retired under charge of the constables, whilst the court proceeded to the despatch of other business. In twenty minutes the jury returned to the court house. "Have you agreed upon a verdict, gentlemen of the jury?" asked the clerk. the wants of the nation and people. He said the public moneys cannot remain where and as they now are. The people will not submit to it and Mr. Tyler when he has had time for reflection, will not desire it, judging from the tenor of his life. Mr. Barnard spoke an hour or more, and closed by remarking: "If there has been any common benefit to the country in what has been already done by the whigs, or any confidence created as to what they may yet accomplish, we must maintain ourselves, relying upon an intelligent people, or every vestige will be repealed.

It was world pledged to carry out their principles and poli- been conclusive with Mr. Tyler. He was understood not for the whigs, while in opposition, to propose cy in measures of administration aptly and wisely to have expressed himself in answer to interrogatives specific measures. They opposed the prominent designed for that purpose; and in the illustrious before his election to the vice presidency, in favor of measuras and policy of the administration then con- man whom they made president, surrounding himself the constitutionality and expediency of a national ducting our public affairs, for reasons plainly stated promptly as he did with a cabinet of noble and apand urged upon the country; and in the statement of their reasons and views, by which they justified their opposition, they disclosed, in the most explicit manner, the general principles and policy on which the measures of the government would be taken, and its affairs conducted, if its administration should be confided to their hands. The cardinal doctrines of the whigs, broadly stamped on the face of our political history during a ceaseless struggle running through a series of years, ending with the overthrow of their adversaries in 1840-doctrines read and understood of all menmay be briefly stated as follows: That the government should be administered for the benefit of the whole people and country; and not for the benefit of those who administer it; due regard being had to all sections and all interests, a rigid economy observed, and a strict accountability enforced in all expenditures, which should be strictly confined to objects of high public utility and impor tance. proved men, and in the strong whig majority elected bank, notwithstanding his former opinions, provided only the condition of necessity should appear. We think this necessity referred itself exclusively to the judgment of congress, and in no manner whatever to the president, who, in the creed of the whigs at least exercises no part of the legislative power. Besides this, we hold that the question of constitutionality has been definitely settled, if not by precedent and recognition and by the light of ever glorious examples of the fathers of the republican school, by which Mr. Tyler, on his accession to the presidency, proposed to govern himself, at least by the solemn judgment of the supreme judicial tribunal of the country, appointed by the constitution itself for this very purpose; so that while the oath and conscience of the president are offered as excuses for the veto, (and we must presume in all sincerity) we are forced, in equal sincerity, to regard them as dangerously set up against the authority and sanction of the constitution itself. At the late extraordinary session of congress, which had become indispensable on account of the condition in which the affairs of the government and the treasury were left by the late administration, the whig members of congress proceeded to perform the duty expected of them by the country. They accomplished all they undertook, and all which ought then to have been undertaken, with the exception of one most vital and important measure, in which they were defeated by occurrences that had been unexpected and were to them unavoidable. They passed a loan bill, by which a portion of the debt of the late administration was provided for, and necessary means supplied to a falling treasury; a revenue bill, by which additional supplies will be obtained, chiefly from luxuries; a bill giving to the poor a permanent We speak on this subject as of all; not as the enepre-emptive privilege in the public lands, and distri- mics, but as the friends of the president; bound, howThat the constitution is the charter and warrant buting the proceeds of those lands among the several ever, as whigs, religiously to keep faith with the for the exercise of all federal power and authority, states; a bill repealing the sub-treasury scheme; bills country, and to preserve our own consistency and which is to receive neither a strict nor a liberal, but for improving our neglected national defences, by character by a prompt disavowal and condemnation a common sense construction, and where doubts and sea and by land; and a bill, indispensable in a highly of all acts, by friend or adversary, at war with the disputes arise, they are to be finally resolved and set- commercial country, making uniform provisions for distinctive principles which we maintain. tled a proper case being made by the judgment security to creditors and relief to debtors in cases of spirit, as whigs speaking to a whig, and in no unkindof the supreme court of the United States; and that, insolvency.

We do not deny the right of the president to select his constitutional advisers, but we lament and marvel that he could not have reposed his con fidence in those, who have enjoyed the special confidence of the elected president, and who possessed the unbounded confidence of the whole family of the whigs throughout the entire union. We are anxious to give to Mr. Tyler, in the discharge of the duties of his exalted and responsible office, a hearty support, and it will be wholly his own fault if we do not. He has already compelled the whig party, almost as one man, to meet some portion of his official conduct, not only with dissent but with open reprobation. We should have been false to our own natures if we had done less; and the world will find that, if we have no other virtue, we have that of integrity and faithfulness to our own principles. We mean to demonstrate that our integrity cannot be purchased-not even by the executive, with all his patronage and power. departments and places, and that it is its right and its In the avowal heretofore strongly made by Mr. As a national party, sustained by the strongest popular majorities, and dominant in the country, having carried into office, in both the great departments of the government, the legislative and the executive, men of our own selection and choice, it is a crying shame that any doubts should have existed, or should arise, whether we really hold power in both these de- The union and integrity of the whig party, and its partments, or only in one.

In this character and capacity of our political system can stand the new rending he will have the support of the whigs, and in no other, which they would thus suffer, none can tell; but we and we shall fairly give him credit beforehand for believe not long. good intentions. His acts must show us what he means and what he is. As whigs we profess to hold power strictly as a trust for the common and equal benefit of all; we are afraid to see it placed again in the hands of our opponents, where it has been so much abused; and we pledge ourselves here, to one another and to the country, for ourselves and those whom we represent, that we will spare no effort to continue and perpetuate the ascendency of our party both in the state and national governments. Doing this, we may hope all good things for our country, its institutions, its freedom, its prosperity, its honor and its glory-from the firm and permanent establishment of our principles and policy, and the completion and success of all our measures. It is understood that Mr. Tyler has declared since the dissolution of the late cabinet, in the most solemn manner, that his administration should be a thorough whig administration; that none but whigs should be called into his cabinet or his counsels, or appointed in any quarter to the performance of important official duties. Such a course will secure our confidence, and nothing else will. We must see his new cabinet, with Mr. Webster at the head of it-a man the best years of whose eminent political life, with all the energies of his great intellect, have been devoted to his country in the advocacy and maintenance of whig principles-we must see that the cabinet one and all, so acting as to prove to us and to the world, TO THE WHIG Electors of the STATE OF NEW YORK. of the faithfulness with which they shall represent Fellow citizens: The state central committee, in their party and sustain its distinctive principles in discharge of the duties devolved upon it, solicit your the conduct of their own departments respectively-earnest attention. and by the faithfulness and success of their advice and counsel to the president in the discharge of his duties, that they not only have been, but are whigs in very truth and deed. So much we hope for-so much we have a right to expect and demand at the hands of any man, calling himself by our name, who consents to retain, or take office in the cabinet under Mr. Tyler. With faithful counsellors around him, enjoying his confidence, without forfeiting ours, we have a right to hope and expect, that the president will look again, and with more care, and better judgment and conclusions, into the important subjects on which he and congress have differed. The public money, now in his hands must be taken out; a better fiscal system than that of General Jackson, or that of Mr. Van Buren must be devised and created: and as a part of that system a national currency must be supplied, and the exchanges equalized. All this must be done by the unaided authority of the general government, and in a way to avoid the monstrous evils of a government bank, in which, we know, the late sub-treasury scheme, by slight modifications, might easily be converted. In his own impressive language, applied to General Jackson, on a memorable occasion not unlike the present, we say to the president, that "honor, due regard to the sacred obligations and duties of office, require of every public man to repair the mischiefs which his own unwise policy may have inflicted on the country." We repudiate and reprobate the abominable doctrine, avowed by our political adversaries, that the public offices belong to the conquering party, after a contested election as the "spoils of victory." Our doctrine is, that a political party coming into power, is at once charged with, and responsible for, the administrative operations of the government, in all its We proffer you, fellow citizens, no holiday com- We speak frankly to you, fellow citizens, as be- umphs in our sister states are based on no serious diminution of the whig strength, nor any considerable accession to our adversaries, but solely on apathy and distraction, in view of the recent difficulties at Washington which have paralyzed the exertions of a portion of our friends, and withheld many of them from the polls, we yet say to you, in the sincerity of profound conviction, that a similar course on your part, followed naturally by a similar result in this state, will be virtually fatal to our hopes of maintaining a whig preponderance in the councils of the national administration. And with the overthrow of the whig ascendancy perishes not only the hope of securing the other blessings for which we have struggled, but is restored to power a party pledged to "repeal" the distribution law. These are among the consequences depending upon the issue of your rapidly approaching election. Freemen of New York! we entreat that your efforts be proportioned to the magnitude of the blessings to be secured the calamities to be averted. Electors of the empire state! It has devolved on you in more than one memorable crisis to save the cause of your country from disaster-upholding and sustaining it until feebler hands and hearts were nerved to assist you in bearing it on to victory. It was your earthquake voice which, in 1837, first pealed the popular condemnation of the sub-treasury project. It was your indomitable spirit which, in 1838, when Maine, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Ohio succumbed to executive power, restored the hopes and revived the energies of the republic. It was your undaunted firmness--your lofty, patriotic devotion-which, in 1839, when almost every other state surrendered, rekindled the dying watchfires upon the battlements of freedom, and in the breasts of your admiring countrymen lit up an enthusiastic ardor of which the triumph of 1840 was the legitimate result! Freemen of New York! You are they who achieved those glorious victories; your country again appeals for your filial aid in her direst calamity, and if the same spirit still lives in your breast, you can rescue her again! Is she not worthy generous effort? At all events, we entreat you, fellow citizens, to come forward and vote at the approaching election. Indifference in such a crisis is the blackest treason. If you are tired of serving your country, turn against her and vote the locofoco ticket. If you desire the restoration of servility, venality, and corruption in our state councils-if you wish to see the business of banking a monopoly in the hands of a central power and the liberty to pursue it sold out in parcels for gold or votes-if you wish to see the business of auctions another monopoly of the central regency, to be doled out by them only to desperate partisans in payment or purchase of services-if you wish to see your supervisors overruled by a bevy of party made judges in the appointment of local officers-in short, if you desire the return of that rule which so long rendered New York politics a by-word for corruption through the land, then vote openly for the locofoco ticket, and secure at once the object of your desires and the reward of your exertions. But never, we implore you, let the thought embitter your future years that New York fell supinely into the grasp of her most justly banished Tarquins, when the freeman's weapon in your outstretched hands might have prevented it. For the venal, the versatile, the timid, the feeble in purpose, we can offer no incitements to engage earnestly in the cause of the people in the coming contest. The struggle must be arduous, but its issue need not be doubted. The spoilers, at once smarting under the tremendous defeat of last year, and electrified with sudden and sanguine hopes by recent occurrences, are already in the field with their drilled followers. To their fierce onset we can oppose only the calm good sense, the stern integrity, the indomitable patriotism of the majority of the freemen of New York. If these will but devote to their country the few days intervening before election, in the spirit and with the energy of the three last contests, then victory will again smile on the whig banner, and hope thrill the breasts of our brethren all over the union. To you, freemen of New York, is committed the great duty of keeping alive the sacred flame of liberty amid the fury of the tempest, when feebler bands have proved unequal to the task. May the result prove you worthy of the high responsibilities with which you are intrusted, and commend you still more strongly to the affection and gratitude of your countrymen!

At a late anti-slavery convention in Vermont, a young fanatic moved for the appointment of a missionary, to travel in the southern states, for the purpose of remonstrating against the sin of slavery. The convention concurred in the motion, and the young zealot was very properly himself appointed the missionary. He avows his intention to undertake the crusade; but we imagine he will find his valor oozing out at every pore as he approaches the Potomac.

LIVERPOOL, OCT. 1, 1841. Our grain harvest is nearly finished, but it is yet too early to ascertain the extent of the crops. Much of the wheat, owing to the uncertain state of the weather which prevailed during the harvest, has been carried in in bad condition, and the opinion prevails that the crop is below an average. A serious deficiency is also apprehended in some other articles of food, particularly in potatoes, which in some parts have completely failed. On the 17th ult. all the foreign wheat and flour in the kingdom, a quantity equal to 1,500,000 quarters of wheat, was released from bond at the lowest rates of duty. This large quantity thrown on the market occasioned a temporary dullness, and a slight depression in prices, but from this the market has recovered, and there is a steady demand for free wheat at 9s. 3d.a9s. 9d. per bushel of 70 lbs. and for free flour at 36s.a36s. 6d. per barrel. For bonded wheat and flour, there are no quotations.

The very kind intimations of our friend D. J. are duly appreciated, and the hints conveyed will be tended to. FOREIGN ARTICLES. It appears to us that almost all kinds of trade in England, must be in a most depressed state, and immense suffering must have followed. As the duties on wheat had risen to 10 shillings, of course bread stuffs had fallen; but whether the depreciation had reached the point which in the near approximation of the harvest it would, under ordinary circumstances, indeed we cannot tell. This week the duty is 10s. 8d. and in a few weeks it will again rise to 20s. 8d. per quarter. Should the deficiency in the crop be as great as is apprehended, the better qualities of wheat being offered for sale, the averages will rise, and foreign wheat and flour will be again admitted at the lowest duty; thus affording a practical illustration of the admirable and equitable working of a sliding scale.

We are now told that nothing will be done until next year, and that then no alteration of any importance will be made in the corn laws.

PROROGATION OF PARLIAMENT. The first session of the parliament which made sir Robert Peel minister, was to terminate either on Thursday or Friday, the 8th or 9th, by an adjournment to the month of January or February. 1,208 barrels of flour arrived last week at the 2s. 8d.
