PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1860. MONDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 180 D. Thomas M l iii>-Tiie Scottish Reform- Martyr.--(Second Article.) Wo left off, on Friday, where tho judge— the infamous McQueon, of Braxfleld—haying nominated tho jury which was to try Thomas Muir, for the awful crimo of agitating lor Par liamentary Reform, “ tho pannel,” as tho prisoner is ludicrously miscalled, objected to them, because he knew that they had prejudged him unheard. This was a fact. Fifteen jurymen, nominated and picked by tho judge, were members of an Anti- Reform Association, pledged to resist oil iteformers. This picked and packed jury had virtually convicted Thomas Muir be fore they took their seats in tho jury-box. The Court—that is, tho five judges who wore to try the case—stopped Muir in tho middle of his objections. They wore unanimous in de claring that “ his conduct was extremely im proper” in thus protesting against marked in l justice! This was in Scotland, at tho High Court of Justiciary, at Edinburgh, in August, 1793. So much for “ the good old times.” Tho principal Judgo, On this occasion, was Robert McQueen, the Lord Justice Clork, — commonly called Lord Braxfleld, from the name of his estate. This man, in many re spects, was the modern prototype of infamous Judgo Jeffreys, damned to everlasting con tumely in Macaulay’s history. Coarse.in ap pearance, and brutal in manner, ho was at once a brute and a bully. Once, whoh trying a man, who , defended himself with • some ability,ho exclaimed, “Ton are a very clover chiel, but you’ll be nano tho wanr (worse) of a hanging.” And so, though there was some doubt as to tho prisoner’s guilt, the poor wretch was hanged. Sir Walter Scott, at the table of the Prince Regent, in 1815, told a story of this Lord Braxfleld, which Mr. Lock hart has put into his Life of Scott. When oVer this Judgo went on a particular circuit, ho was in the habit of visiting a gentleman of good fortune in tho neighborhood of one of tho assizo towns, and staying at least one night, which, being both of thorn ardent chess-players, they usually concluded with their favorite game. One Spring Circuit the battlo was not decided at daybreak, so tho Judgo said: “Wcel, Donald, I must o’on como back this gate in tho harvest, and lot the game lie over for tho presont j” and back ho came in October, but not to his old friend’s hospitable houso; for that gentleman had, in tho interim, been apprehended on a capital charge, (of forgery,) and his name stood on the Porlcous Poll , or list of those who wer'o about to be tried undor his former friend’s auspices. The laird was indicted and tried accordingly, and tho jury returned a vordict of Guilty. The Judgo forthwith put on his cocked hat, (which answers to tho black cap in England,) and pronounced tho sontonco of tho law in tho usual terms, —« To bo hanged by tho neck Until you bb dead; and may the Lord have mercy upon your Unhappy soul!” Having Concluded this awful formula in his most sonorous cadence, tho Judgo, dismount ing his formidable beaver, gave a familiar nod to his unfortunate acquaintance, and said to him in a sort of chuckling whispor—« And now, Donald, my man, I think I have check mated you for once.” The brutal wretch who thus chuckled when sentencing one of his own familiar friends to the scaffold, was the cclf-oimo Lord Justice Clerk (or President of tho Supreme Criminal Court of Scotland) who presided at tho trial of Muir. Alas 1 what feoblo chance there was of that man’s showing justice or mercy. The trial took placo at Edinburgh, in Au. gust, 1793. Muir appeared at tho Bar, beforo tho five Judgos, and tho Clerk of tho Court read tho indictment charging him with Sedi tion : —namely, with public speeches, with exhorting people to piirbbaso and road publi tations Which the Crn-ffn £( g e _ ditious with himself having read such in public s and, particularly, with having read and recommended some of Thomas Paine’s political writings. Holding the belief that Paino’s theological works had much better nevor have been writ ten, wo cannot ignoro tho fact that he was one oi tho very ablest politicians of his time, and that liberal minds, all over the world, recog nised him as such . But the publication of Ids “ Rights'Of Man,” while tho French Revolu tion was proceeding, had so greatly alarmed Pitt and tho other members oi tho British Go vernment, that a State-Prosecution Was com menced, to crush his book and himself, and, only a few months beiore Muir’s trial, ho had prodneed the First Part of “ The Age of Rea-1 son.” It was believed that Muir had becoino * acquainted with Paine, during his visit to Pa-, ris, and this, though it could not bo set forth : in tho indictment, was another reason why tho 1 British Government desired to crush Muir. When formally arraigned, Muir pleaded Not Gutlty, and the substance of his defence war read. It was plain, and to tho purpose, m follows: “ Tho Criminal Libel is falso and Ini jurious. So far from exciting the People tt riot and insurrection, it can easily be proved by a numerous list of witnesses, that upoi every occasion tho Pannel (prisoner) exhorlcl them to pursue measures moderate—legal peaceable—and constitutional. The charge sct, he uniformly advisod them to read every viblica tion, upon either side, which the inportant question of Parliamentary Reform hd occa sioned.” Further, Muir stated thatho had done all in his power to promote Paliamont ary Reform; if that wore sedition, hat once pleaded guilty to the charge. Ho aded, «I also admit that I advised tho poops to read books of all kinds, not this book, nor that book, but books on either sido, whih would tend to inform their minds on tho freat and important national question whictgavo rise to their Association, nor shall I hesitate to doclaro my motives.—My Lois, I con sider the ignorance of the peopl to be the source from which despotism flm. I am aIBO of opinion that an ignorat people, impressed with a sense of grieanoes, and demanding redress, are exposd to much misery, and perhaps to ultimate riin. Refor mation ought always to bo preceded by kiow lodge; and who will say that maiklnd ijtould bo precluded from that information, vhich concerns them so materially?” Finfty, ho avorrod, « I offer to provo by thouiands of witnesses that, so far from 'ocorimending ‘seditious practices,’ I haveunfornffyadvised tho people to follow none but peaceable, or derly, and Constitutional ipasures. And, finally, that I exhorted them t connect know -1 ledgo with liborty, and both dth morality. If 1 theso bo crimes, then lam fiilty.” The Judgos then went though tho form— for it was no more than a f after Do Qulnooy had utterly argued him down, rominds ns of Fsistalfß fleshing his sword in tho body of Hotspur, aftor Prinoo Henry had slain him. Mr. Ruskin writes well, though too conceitedly, upon Painting, but when ho nttempts to grapple with Political Economy, he flonnders about in a surging sea of words, a mero spook in the waters of Conjecture. “Last Words,” by Owen Mere dith (Balwer’s son), with an illustration by Mil lais, is a thoughtful peem, natural and earnest, in whioh a dying man discourses sadly, ovor tbs failure of bis hopes and ambition, yot not without a strong faith in God, his true friend. To him he says: Ar*l there Are some good thing* in life* that fall not away with the rest. And* of all best things upon earth, I hold thnt a faithful friend is the best. For woman, "Will. is & thorny flower: it breaks, and we bleed and smart: The blossom ffttla at the fairest, and the thorn runs into the heart. And woman’s love is a litter fruit; and, however he bite it, or sip, There’s many a man has lived to cuiso the taste of that fruit on his lip. But never wbb any man, as I weon, bo howhosoover h 0 may* That has known what a true friend is, Will, and wished that knowledge away. You were proud of my promise, faithful despite of my Ml, Sad when the world seem’d over sweet, sweet when the world turn’d gall; "When I oloak’d myself in the pride of praise from what God griev’d to see, You saw thro’ the glittering lie of it all, and silentlv mourn’d for me: When the world took book what the world had given, and scorn with praise ohanged place, I, from mysaok doth and ashes, look’d up, and saw hope glow on your faoe i Therefore, fair weather be yours, Will, whether it slunoß or pours, And, if loan slip from out my grave, my spirit Will visit sours. Farther on, he soys— Colnfort me not. For if aught be worse than failure from over-stress Of a lifo’s prime purpose, it is to sit down oontent with a little sucoesa. Thie reminds ono of poor Keat-'s declaration* ia tho preface to "Eodymion,” that wonderful and yot faulty poem, “ Thoro is no fiercer hell than the feiiftre of a groat object. The dying man here adds— “ Talk of not genius baffled. Genius is master of maft. Genius does what it must, and talent does what it can. ,T Never before hes the distinction been so well defined as in this line whioh wo have pnt into italics.

The President oan do nothing except whht the law authorizes. His duty is to see '.thb laws faithfully executed. If ho fail 3 to perform this ditty, he will soon find himself a pri soner beforo the high court oilmfiftaohment. ifor . Innately; that tribunal is so constituted rfs tir com mand the confidence of the people of the entire South, as well as of the conservative men of the North, We have tbte security, that tho existing laws frill he faithfully executed. I have yet to learn that the psople of the South complain of the 1 acts of Congress now on the statute-book, upon the I subject of slavery, as applioablato tho States ortho Territories, or to the Diatriot of Columbia. These ‘ laws were enacted, mainly, if not entirely; by the joint action of theconservative members of the North and South, in opposition to the Abolitionists and Free-Soilers, and have been acqulesoed in by tho Southern people, a* well as by their Senators and Representatives, under the present and preoediog Administrations'of theFedcial Government. Con sequently, it is fair to presume that the Soiith, so far from demanding the repeal of the existing laws Upon the subjeot of slavery,, as essential to her sajfety and equality in the Union, will insist upon their being'retained upon the statute-book, and faithfully, executed. 1 Nor arc we .permitted to infer that the Southern people require any addi tional legislation by Congress On this subjoot, for the reason that the Southern Senators and Repre sentatives have sot introduaod and advocated any changes in 'Coexisting legislation,upon,the* sla very question under 1110 present Administration, and that of Mr. fierce,- When the Abolitionists and Free-Sollbrs were in the minority in both Houses of Congress. . Assuming, therefore,- that the Southern people and their Senators and Representatives deem their rights and institutions entirely safe under tho Con stitution and laws as they now Stand, and only de sire to be let alone, without any interference by Congress with their domestiq oonoeraa, the question arises whether Mr. Lincoln and his party will have the powor, even if they have the disposition, to | disturb or impair the rights and institutions of the ; South, either in the States or the Territories, or In ! tho Distriot of Columbia? They certainly cannot do it under the existing laws, will they have the power to repeal or change those laws, or to enact others? It is well known that they will be in a minority in both Houses of Congress, with the Su preme Court against theft. Tn tne*Northem States there have been elected already a sufficient num ber of Democratic members of CongreßS, bold and true national men, pledged* to fhq doctrine of non intervention by Congress with tho question of Slavery in the States and Territories, and the Dis trict of Columbia, who, added to the Southern ; Representatives, will give at ledst twenty mejority 1 against Mr. Lincoln and his, party on all these questions. In the Senate there is also a decided i and reliable majority; Honce no bill oan pass either House of Congress impairing or disturbing ! the rights or institutions of the Southern people, in I any manner whatever, twhsafl a portion of the f Southern Senators tend Representatives absent i themselves, so as to give an Abolitto?i majority j tn consequence of their absence. I In a minority in both houses of Congress, with the . Supreme Court to expound the laws and restrain t and unconstitutional apts, the President will pv’v* l *"* "mK if he should have the I disposition to do wrong. > Evennr-*i^ -siuribution ; of his patronage, he would be dependent upon tne Senate for the confirmation of his nominees to | office, so that he cannot appoint a bad man to office without tho consent of those in whom the South con ' ffdes. A partisan President, thus tied hand and foot, i powerless for good or evil, without the oonsent and ; support of his political opponents, should be the object of..pity and commiseration rather than of fear and apprehension, by a brave jind chivalrous people, what good orharm'ean he do to anybody, except to humble the pride and wound the sensi bilities of a large portion of the American people by occupying the chair once filled by Washington, Jefferson, Madison, and Jackson? Does this faot furnish sufficient cause for destroying the best Ho vemment of which the history of the world gives an example ? Four years will soon pass away, when theballot-box will inrnish a peaoeful, legal, and constitutional remedy for all the evils and grievances with which the country may be afflicted. If, in the meantime, anj act shall be perpetrated which shall violate or impair the righa of any ci tizen or State, or shall endanger the peace and safety of any portion of onr people for which the Constitution and laws shall fail to provide ade quate and efficient remedies, the time will then have'arrived for those who think the Constitution disregarded and the federal power perverted to purposes inconsistent with their safety, honor, and equality, to oonsult and deliberate upon the nature, extent, and mode of redress. I do not anticipate, nor do I deem it possible in the pretent condition of the oountry, that under the Administration of Mr. Lincoln any aot can be perpetrated that would destroy or impair the con stitutional rights of the citizen, or invade tho re served rights of the States upon the subject of slavery; but. if I should find myself painfully mis taken on this point, I have no hesitation in ex pressing my deliberate conviction that such an out rage would not only make the Southern people a unit, but would arouse and consolidate all the con servative elements of the North in firm and deter mined resistance, by,overwhelming majorities. In suoh an event, the South would ooonpy an impreg nable position. With her own people united and animated by one sentiment—the unfaltering re solve to maintain and defend their rights and liber ties as won by the blood of their fathers, and gua rantied by the Constitution of their oountry—they could safely rely upon thfjustlce of their cause, and confidently expect the sympathy of the civilized world ana the choicest bleesings of Divine Provi dence while struggling for the right. Under these circumstances, I can perceive no just oause, no rea sonable ground for suoh rash and preoipltate action as wonltf plunge into the horrors of revolution, anarchy, and bankruptcy, the happiest people, the most prosperous country, and the best govern ment the sun of Heaven ever shed his genial rays upon. To those, if any suoh there may be, who look upon Disunion and a Southern Confederacy as a thing deairablo in itself, and are only waiting for an opportunity to accomplish that whioh had been previously resolved upon, r the eleotion of Mr. Lin coln may furnish a pretext for precipitating the Southern States into revolution. Bat to those who regard the Union under the Constitution as our fathers made it, the moat precious legacy ever be queathed to a free people by a patriotio ancestry, and are determined to maintain it as long as their rights and liberties, equality and honor are pro tected by it, tho election of Mr. Lincoln, in my bumble opinion, presents no just oause, no reason able exouse for disunion. Having discussed all the questions at issue, freely and elaborately, in my addresses to the people during the recent canvass, I do not perceive that any patriotio objeots can be advanoed by any far ther publio 'discussions on my part prior to resu ming my Beat In the Senate. That the passions and animosities engendered by recent oontests may soon give pl&oo to reason and patriotism; that calm and wise counsels may prevail, and fraternal feel ing be restored; that the Constitution may be pre served inviolate, and the Union maintained for-, ever, is the ardent hope and fervent prayer of your friend and fellow-citizon, S.

The advocates of secession baso their argument, not on any right reserved or in any way alluded to in- the Constitution, bu'2 on. the inherent sove*' eignty possessed by an independent State, whioh, its; they say, enables her to set at naught, whenever shjo chooses, any and nil her compsots with other States. Without commenting upon tho unsound ness and demoralising tendoncy of this doctrine, we ssk Seoessionists tossy, whether South Carolina, after solemnly plighting her faith that she would abide by the Articles of Confederation, and -• that “ the Union should be perpetual-? 1 could, at will, rightfully secede and brenk up that Union? Surely, the wise men of that day did not under stand that by moans of the sovereignty of any dis contented State she could rightfully leave the Union, her plighted faith notwithstanding, or they wpuld not have trifled with eaoh other and the world by such a stipulation. They evidently thought that a sovereign State had power to limit its otfn sovereignty by compacts with other States, whioh should be of perpetual obligation. ■ There is, however, a striking difference in the authority.by whioh the Artiokß.of.Confederation and. our present Constitution aro aatetioned. The former rested on the authority of tho State Legift-' laiure, acting through their delegates to Congress; the latter bn the authority of the people of each Btktc, .acting through dolegates in Contention. Toe, Constitution, therefore, rests on the highest authority known to .republican government, the peoplo themselves, not the people of the United states in mass, but the people of eaoh and every separate State, and in that sense emphatically “ the people of the United States,” as asserted in the preamble. Now, if the Legislatures of the States could bind them to a “perpetual Union,” their sovereignty notwithstanding, (as they actually did, unless we suppose tint the men ef that day were totally ig norant of tho legal effects of their own acts,) sorely the people of tne States, the original sovereigns, copla do the samo thing. That they have done the same thing, and have provided in the Constitution Itself the means ef perpetuating the .Union, sh|dl ondeavor to show in fntUTo numbers. g j Amos Kespall. tThurlow Weed Against the Helper Book." * ‘ EFVom tne Albany Evening Journal of the 10th.} Now that Booth Carolina, and the “Fire-eat- of other Southern States, threaton.to dissolve the Union, wo have instituted a rigid personal in quiry into our own course and condnot towards the South. This inquiry results in a conviction, thht, -with ono exception, we have not,- in thought, word, or deed, wronged our brethren of the Slave States. We read the Helper Book, hastily, soon after its publication. It was tho work of a Southern mas — b. native and resident of North Carolina.' Itcon tristed the advantages with the disadvantages of slavery, proving, as* we thought, that, the proa* of North Carolina was retarded rather than promoted by slavery. "When asked, therefore, to aid the publication of a large edition of a “ Com pand,” we contributed $lOO. JAt Washington, in December last, we first leirned that this “Compand” contained the fol lowing recommendations: Thorough organization and independent political action en the part u£ non.gl&veholdins whites of the South. • a 2d. Ineligibility of slaveholders—never another vote to the trafficker in human flesh. 3d. No co operation with slaveholders in poli tics; no fellowship with them in religion; no af fixation with them In society. '4th. No patronage to BlaveholdiDg merchants; no guestship in slave-waiting hotels; no fees to slaveholding lawyers; no employment of dave holding physicians; no audienoe to slaveholding parsons. 6th. No recognition of pro-slavery men, except as ruffians, outlaws, and criminals. These recommendations are repugnant to, and in conflict with our principles, sentiments, and sympathies. While those principles, sentiments, and sympathies are all In favor of freedom, they revolt at such modes of warfare. We have never opposed, or thought of opposing, slavery by such means; nor have we ever cherished, or intention ally given oountenanoe to, suoh a spirit. The Hon. John Sherman, who endorsed this “Compend,” did sounder a misapprehension of its contents, and the moment he was at liberty to do sou disavowed the obnoxious passages. This re commendation was unobserved by Gov. Morgan add others, who gave money to defray the expense of! publication. That this disavowal may neither be perverted ndr misapprehended, it is proper to say that it was promptly mado last winter, first in a letter to Mayor Berret, of Washington, next to the author of the book, and then in the Evening Journal.
