It appeared, too, that ho had not recommended Paine’s works, as he disapproved of many of his principles, which ho considered impracticable, and that he had not distributed political books or pamphlets, Tho Lord,Advocate’s speech followed. -It chiefly inferred that Muir must be guilty of sedition in because hehad'gone to Franco, and that his guilt might further be in ferred from the fact that among his papers had been fpund a lofter' addressed to the Roy. T. Fyschfe Palmer, who was to bo tried at Perth, on which letter was a seal with a Cap of Lib erty on a Spear, and tho motto Ca Ira! Muir’s defence was remarkable for its elo quence, fervor, and that power which only* can result from truth* It brushed away the uophlkries of the Lord Advocate’s speech and vf the indictment. It moved many to tears—it affected all, except the packed jury and the unjust judges. His peroration was striking. Ho said: «My crime is for having dared to be, according to ihemeasure of my fee ble abilities , a strenuous and active advocate for ttn eijual Representation cf the People in the House of the People —for having dared to ac complish a measure, by legal means, which was to diminish the weight of their taxes, and to put an end to the profusion of their blood. Gentlemen, from my infancy to this moment, I haye devoted myself to the cause of the l’ooplo. It 18 A GOOD CAUSE —IT SHALL ULTI- ItATEIt PREVAIL—IT SHAtL FINALLY TRIUMPH. Say, then, oponly in your verdict, if you do condetan me—which, I presume, you will not —that it is for my attachment to this cause alone, and not for those vain and wretched pretexts stated in the indictment, intended only to color and disguise the roal motives of my accusation.” J. ALBERT EBHLKMAN. The Judgo (Braxfidd) then told the jury that if any one part of tho indictment was proteti, it established Muir’s guilt the same as if tho whole was substantiated. He said that Muir’s intention was to promote a spirit of re volt, and if what was demanded was not given, to trike it by force. Ho had not the smallest doubt that the jury were, like himself, convinced of the prisoner’s guilt, and Desired them to rc- Jilrn such a verdict as would ho them honor. Accordingly, they convicted Mr. Muir. Tho sentence "was—Fourteen Years’ Trans portation. Braxfleld, when passing sentence, took occasion to say that «tho indecont ap plause which was given the pannol last night, convinced-him that a spirit of discontent still linked in tke minds of tiio peopie, and that it would bo dangoroup to allow him to remain in this country. His r Lordsliip said tiiis circum -BTAKOB HAD NO XITTLE WEIGHT WITH DIM WHEN CONSIDERING OF THE PUNISHMENT Mr. Muiß deserved!!” After his Lordship had deli vered his opinion, and during tho timo tho sentence (fourteen years’ transportation) was recording, Mr. Muir rose and said: «My Lords, lhave only a few words to say . I shall hot ;atiimadtert upon tho severity or tho 3e- of iny iJentonfco. Wore Ito bo led this momtint froi tho bat to the scaifold, 1 should feel tho same calmness and serenity which 1 tells me that 1 have acted agreeably to my conscience, and that I have en gaged in a good, a just and a glorious cause— a cause which sooner or later, must and WILL PREVAIL, AND BY A TIMELY nEFOBH, SAVE TniB COUNTRY FROM DESTRUCTION !” Toone’s Chronological Historian, which re cords tbo trial and conviction of Thomas Muir, as having taken place on August 2Cth, 1793, states that, on September 17th, the Rev. Thomas Fyscho Palmer was sentenced to DeVfen yearS’ transportation «for Writing and publishing a seditious libel; that, on Novem ber 26th, Messrs. Robinson, respectable pub lishers in London, were fined $5,000 for selling Paine's “ Rights of Manthat, on tho follow ing day, one Daniel Holt was fined $250 and sentenced to two yearsMmprisonment, for sell ing two of Paine’s political pamphlets; that, on January 6tb, 1791, Dr. Skirving was tried at Edinburgh “ for divers seditious purposes,” and sentenced to fourteen years* transporta tion} that, on January 11th, “His Majesty, in coUhCil, Signed an order lor the transportation of Messrs. Muir and Palmer to New South Wales, for the term [fourteen and seven years* transportation] sentenced by the Court Justi ciary} that, on ianuary llth, Mf. Maurice Margarot was tried “for sedition” at Edin burgh, found guilty, and sentenced to be transported for fourteen years ,* and that, on February 10th, 1794, “ Messrs. Muir, Marga rofc, Skirring, and Palmer were removed from Newgate, and taken on board tho vessol ap pointed to convey them to Botany Bay. Tho trial of Muir was the subject of discus sions in both Houses of Parliament, where Addresses to the Crown, oh Mbit’s behalf, Wefce i’esibbed and defeated by the Ministry. Muir hnally escaped from Now South Wales, through a thousand dangers, and finally died, at Chantilly, near Paris, in September, 1798- his constitution utterly broken by tho hard ships he had encountered. That this virtuous man was sacrificed no one cau doubt. A few days after, on the trial of Margarot, in the same court and before the Same judges, tho following scene took place; Mr. Margarot. Now, my Lord, comes a very do lloato matter, indeed.

The trial of Muir proceeded in the follow ing manner, which shows how determined prosecutors, judges,- and jurymen were that, whatever tho filets, ho should bo condemned and banished. Lord Justice Clerk. State your questions, and I will tell you whether I will answer thorn or not. If ,they are proper questions I will answer them. Q. Did you dine ac Mr. Roahead’s, at Inrorleitb, in the oourse of last wook? Lord Justioe Clork. And what havo you to do with that, air ? Q. Did any conversation t&ko place with regard to my trial? Lord Justice Clerk. Go on, sir. Q. Did you use these words ? “ What should you think of giving him an hundred lashes, together with Botany Bay ?” or words to that purpose ? Lord Justice Clerk. Go on; put your Questions, if you havo any more. Q. Did any porson—did a lady say to you, that “ tho people would hbt allow you to whip him ?” and, my Lord— dut you not say that,the 'mob mould be the better for losing a little blood ? These are the questions, my Lord, that I wfch to put to you at presont, in tho presonco of the Court: deny them, or acknowledge them. Lord Justioe Clerk. Do you think I should an* surer questions of that sort, my Lord Henderland ? Lord He&derl&nd. No, my Lord, they do not re late to this trial. The rest of the judges conourrod in this opinion; and so the questions, rery properly, were not an swered ! To crown all, this Rochead, at whose table the Judge thus spoke, was one of the Jurymen selected by that Judgo to try Mr. Muir, and actually did try and condemn him I On Gerald’s trial, an attempt was made to prove that the Judgo had thus spoken, hut tho other Judges would not allow it. When Skir ving was tried, he asked by what law tho Judgo picked tho Jury, and tho Judgo told him that he had no right to put such a question. Such was the course of things in «tho good old times.** Thank God, nothing of tho sort would be tolerated now. The Judgo who would act like those we have named would bo hooted from society, if not torn to pieces by an in jured public. A fortnight beforo Muir and his fellow-mar tyrs were actually sent off to New South Wales, the celebrated patriot, Archibald Ha milton Rowan, was tried in Dublin (29th Janu ary, 1794) for a seditious libel, eloquently de fended by Ourran, convicted, and sentenced to two years* imprisonment, and pay a fino of $2,500. On this occasion, Curran alluded to Muir and tho other Scottish martyrs in tho fol lowing emphatio and eloquent terms: “Thoro la a sort of aspiring and adventurous ore dulity, which disdains assenting to obvious truths, and delights in oatohing at tho improbability of ciroumstanoos, as its best ground of faith. To what other cause, gentlemen, can you ascribe that in the wise, tho reflooting, and the philosophical na tion of Great 'Britain, a printer has been gravely found guilty of a libel, for publishing those reso lutions to whioh the present Prime Minister of that kingdom had actually subscribed his name? To what other oaueo can you asoribe, what in my mind is still more 'astonishing, in such a country as Scotland—a nation oast In the happy medium between the spiritedless acquiescence of submissive poverty, and the sturdy credulity of pampered woalth—cool and ardent—adventurous and perse-, voting—winging hor eagle flight agaiost tho blaze of every science, with an eye that never winks and a wing that never tires—orowned, ns she is, with the spoils of every art, and decked with tho wreath •of every muse, from the deop and sorutinizing re searches of hor Ilume, to the sweet and simple, but not less sublimo and pathetic, morality of her Bums ; how, from the bosom of a country liko that,; genius, and oharaoter,' aud talents should be] banished to a distant, barbarous soil, condemned 1 to nine under tho horrid oommunion of vulgar vice and base-born profiigaoy,'for twloe the period that, ordinary calculation gives, to the continuance off human Ufa.” , \ .

Mr. Charles, B. Norton, a New lork publisher, agent for the salo of a set of Engravings of tho Cartoons of Raphael, in Hampton Court Palace, near London, has brought out an Analysis of the whole seven pictures. This is at once descriptive and oritioal, without the slightest effort at what is called “ fine writing,” and with a creditable avoid&noo of transcendental and icsthetic extrava gance. From Thayer and Rldridge, Roston, we have re ceived, (through G. G. Evans,} “Harrington: a Tale of’True Love,” by tho author of “What Cheer,” and other books, the names of whieh are unfamiliar to us. This is a olass-noVel, throng's which tuqs a constant thread of Abolitionism, but it is writton with considerable power, and the in cidents and oh&raotors, thoiigh not improbable, are strikingly out of the ordinary line of design and drawing. Tho Prologue, describing the sea-flight of & negro from tho South to Boston, is as fine an opening as any novel oould havo. The death of the hero is toiiohingly told—But, Indeed, the story is full of interest throughout. Tho author believes, by the way, with Miss Delia Baoon, that Franola Bacon, author of tho “Novum Organon,” also wrote Shakspoare’s Plays. Re thinks it impossi ble that “ the fat peasant of Stratford” could have produood “ tho noblest works of tbo human genius.” For all that, we shall continue to believe In Shakspoaro, oalled “the immortal Williams,” by Monsieur Poneard, Member of the Institute tit Franoe. From G. G. Evans we have “ Tho Union Text Book,” containing selections from tho Writings and Speeohes of Daniel Webster, with a fine portrait, engraved in the line-mannor. It also gives us the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution of the tlnited States, and Washington’s Farewell Address. Thore is a Table of Contents as well as a pretty full Index. The from Webster have been judiciously made, and the publication is particularly well-timed at this political crisis. Tho Savannah Republican proposes this oom promise: The following programme of aotion has the ap proval of many of our best oitizens and soundest thinkers: Lot the convention of the people be called, os provided for in the Benate bill, which we print in another column. Every delegate to that convention, under that bill, will stand pledged to some manner of resistance. They advocate re sistance to tho rule of Black Republicanism, in this way: Reaffirm the Georgia platform, with alteration of the words “ General Government or Govern ments of the sover&l States,” instead of Congress, 'in speaking of resistance to apprehended - aggros* aion. Put in a new plank in the platform, de manding indemnity for tho past, by the repeal of .every obnoxious law upon the statute-books of o’aoh Northern State; and security, for tho future, by eaob State which remains in covenant with us binding herself to pay for each negro which is .found within her borders, proven a slave, and not delivered up, such State to pay the oost of recap ture.

YJ?NTION in FRAMING, AND TUB PEOPLE IN ADOPT ING, THE PRESENT CONSTITUTION. To the People of the South: In our first number we have shown that the States composing the Federal Union from 1778 to 1789, had-solemnly plighted their faith to each other in the Articles’ of Confederation that the Union should be “ perpetual." These artioleS constituted< the Constitution of the United. States until 1789, when they were merged in otir present Constitution.-, We, will now show that the objeot of the change was not to relieve the States from their perpetual obligation , or in any way to weaken'the Federal Union, but to give it greater strength, and furnish it with means to perpetuate itself by relieving-jt from dependence on the States for.the 1 execution of. .'- K/ . ‘ ; r By the Articles of Congress bad . power to determine tho<amoont of revenue riecee-; 6ary to bo raised' for the service' of the United among‘th# otat«vp hut .whether the neqefssuy taxes should ; be_-levied or duties imposed depended on "the State] authorities; The UoftSequence-tfas', that not * lohk after the close of - the". Hevoluthusaxy w**> -through • the rafustfor protect of. some of the States to fulfil tueir Federal obligations lb that respect," the United • States foubd themselves without means to Support the publio oredit or perform the functions thep.en-. trasted to- them. .It therefore beCaine.ndeemryi that the United States should have power to levy taxed.and duties and eolleot them'without the. .Old of Interposition of tho State?.This required 1 tbfttr tho .United .States .should have indepen dent legislative, executive, 1 and’ judicial 1 powers, -together .with -the’ mein*of their acts! and • To such a pais, the qeglect or’ misconduct of some of' the States brought the af-: fairs of the United States that-thtro wasdmmine&t danger‘of a dUsolution ShiqQ from the want of self-sustaining powers. The history of the United States for some years after the dole of the Revolutionary-war, is replete with difficulties growing opt of weak and unstable government, and with expedients proposed by the statesmen of that day to;put an end'to them. Fi nally, the minds of all'intelligent and patriotic .men settled down in the conviotion, that an effect- ' ual remedy was to be found only in a thorough re vision of the Federal Conetifution.and the delega- | tionte the United States of sufficient powers to enable them to command respect at home and abroad, and especially to preserve the' Federal Union. This conviotion found expression in a re solution of Congress, adopted.on the 24th of Febru ary, 1787, in the following words, viz : “ Aesolved, That, in the opinion of Ctfngress, it is expedient that, on ths seooud Monday in may next, a convention of dele rates, who shall have been appointed by the several fctates,- be held at Philadelphia, for the sole and express purpose of revising thejAr tides of Con-' lederati*’n, ana reporting to Congress and the several ijegislatU'es,such-alterations and provisions therein, as shall, when "greed to in Congress, and confirmed by I the States, render the Fedeial Constitution adequate to the jxieoncies of Government, and the preservation of the Union,”. ■ There was already, by oomp&ot, a “ perpetual Union;” and this perpetual Union it was the avow-, ed object of Congress to preserve, by a revision of the “ Federal Constitution.” South Carolina was present by her delegates, and doubtless votod for the resolution. The several States concurred in this recommenda tion, nnd, in appointing their delegates, recognized and designated the objects in view. Virginia stated the objeot to be, “ devising and discussing such alterations and farther provi sions as might be necessary to render the Fede ral Constitution adequate to the exigencies of the Union.” North Carolina stated the objeot to be “ to dis cuss aud decide upon tho most effectual means to xemovo the defeots of the Federal Union, end to procure the enlarged purposes which itwasiatend ed to effect.” * ... South Carolina stated the objeot to be “devising and (discussing all such alterations, clauses, erti oles, and provisions as might be thought necessary to render the,Federal Constitution entirely ade quate to the actual situation and the future good government of the confederated States.” All the other SlatSs stated their objeot in similar language, all concurring ih the project of giving additional power and strength to the “perpetual union” already in existence. The object of the Convention which the Constitution, in thiß respeot, is shown in the letter signed by "Georgi Washington , President,** transmitting that instrument, as framed by them, to the President of Coogress. He says: “in all our deliberations cU this subject, we kept steadily in view that which appears to'its the greatest interest to every true American, m coNeounAltcm o» ovn Union, in whioh is involved oar prosperity, feli oity, safety, perhaps our national exutenoe.” Thus, we have distinctly avowed the leading ob jeot of Congross whioh recommended the calling of the Convention, and of the Convention itself after they had finished their work. The Convention that the Constitution framed by them should be submitted for ratifica tion, sot to the Legislatures of the States, but to a Convention in each State, chosen by the people thereof,, and Congress adopted their recommenda tion. Conventions were held, the proposed Con stitution was ratified, and thufl became the act of the people;. Their objects in ratifying, it are set, fprth in,the preamble, and foremost among them' is the lnureased stability of the Union. “ We, the the United States,’’ say they; "in order to forma mofb perfect union, 11 do., “ do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of Amerioa.” It was unnecessary to repeat in the Constitution that the Union should be perpetual, because on its face it purports to be of unlimited duration, and contains within itself the means of perpetuating its own existence. The ratifications of all the States were unconditional, and, in the language of Mr. .Madison, bound them “ forever." The Mate of Vermont was not a member of the “ perpetual Union”.established, by the Articles of Confederation, but when she came in under the tionSdtntioDs she expressly recognized its perpetual obligation, By her Convention she declared that on her admission into the Union by Congress, the Constitution of the United States should (in their own words) “be binding on us and the people of Vermont poebyer.” Yet, who at that day sup posed it was more binding on the people of Ver mont than it was on the people of South Carolina ? It thus appears that Congress, the State Legisla tures, tho Philadelphia Convention, and the people of the States, in exohanging the Articles ot Con federation for our present Constitution, intended to give additional strength and security to tho Union. Yet, if the dootrine of Secession be Bound, they did not understand their own work, and ex changed a “perpetual anion” for one which any discontented State may break up at pleasure. In another article, 1 shall endeator to show that the men of that day did not fail in theirobjeot, bat in faot added strength and stability to the pre existing Union. Airos Kendall.

A REJECTED LOVBB ATTBJfPtdWASSASSINATE HIS The Now York Times of yesterday says: Louis Larome, the Frenchman who was takes before Justice Welsh, on Wednesday last, tor send ing & hostile message to an Italian plaster-oast maker, named P. A. Orzali, of whom he was jeat -ous, but who was.discharged from custody *pon his promise to keep the peace; yesterday evening , violated his agreement with the magistrate, and made an attempt to assassinate his rival by going to his workshop and shooting him in the breast; in flating a wound which will, in all probability, prove fatal. The objeot of the hot-headed Frenchman’s love, and the oause of bis enmity to Orzali, Is a Ger man woman named Susan Hess, who lives in Vah dewater street, and follows the occupation of a laundress. He set his'affections upon her some time since, but she states that she never favored his suit, and of late his attentions had been very offensive., Notwithstanding'that she took every occasion which presented itself to manifest her dls | pleasure at his advauoes, he persisted in following her, and finally she appealed to Orzali,. whose washerwoman she was, asking him to protect her from Larome’s annoyances. He cheerfully ecm plied with hor request, and subsequently had as interview with the Frenchman, which resulted In a quarrel and fight, daring whioh the latter-trail severely handled. Desirous of avenging hia wounded honor, Larome sent the challenge to fight a duel at Hoboken, before alluded to, in whlehlbe stigmatized Orzali as an “ Italian' coward,” and threatened to shoot him at sight if he re fused to accord the meeting. Orulu. not being willing to risk his life, caused the arrest, but in oourt he made, an 'abjeet apo logy, asserting that he had written' the note while laboring (nndor great excitement in consequence of the beating he had received, and bekged so. piteously to be let off:that the judge believed bis story, and let him go- ~ Subsequent events show, however, that he still harbored re venge, and last ereniqg he put his declaration of ** vendetta 1 * into execution.

Eagle of our banoed Btates, Wilt drop thine olive fair, And bid the sb alts of war and woe Speed bursting through the air ? And the soaring Eagle answered, Waving his peaoe-branoh high, “No l Freedom's chieftain gave the trust— l’U guard it till I die!” Ye stars, that shine in sparkling blue Upon yon banner’d field, fihalt be stricken from your plaoe, And half in olouds oonce&led ? But silent were those glotious orbs, With dread amazement fraught; Each trembling in its orystal sphere At the dark traitor-thought. Oh, human hearts! to concord train’d, By sires who stool ol yore, As brothers, when around their hordes The Lion ramp’d in gore; Wi l ye the heritage they won With ruthless hand divide ? Or Tend the Gordian knot they drew Around je—when thej died ? Then from the Pater Pat Tim’s tomb, Beneath Mount Vernon’s shade— And from the hero’s bed, who sleeps In Nashville’s beauteous glade— And from green Quinoy’shonor’d breast, Where son repose— Breafenot that band,” a solemn voice In deep accordance rose, Hark, hark! o’er forests rob’d in snow, In sunny, flower-orown’d vales, From whore the Atlant’c’s thunder-lone Tho far Paoifio hails; From mart and deli, where millions dwell, By prairie, lake, and hill— Rolls on, tho fiiU, aablime response— “ Wcneeeriotii.'” Insurrection in North Carolina.—The Galesville,-(N.
