It is not unfair to conclude, the.efore,
ibflt 'tho parties who may escape, should
publicity be given to the proceeding," are
"parties" of un inferior degree of guilt,
mid noivn ithiu the limits of the United
States, and if so, we cannot help saying
Chat it is for various weighty reasons to be
regrcttod that their capture should be
deemed either so important or dilGcult, as
lo be made the pretext or occasion of in
troducing into our criuiinil precodure so
oxltaordinary an anomaly as trial by
military commission for a capital od'etise
with closed doors, and with an
oalliof lecrecy imposed on all persons
taking part in tho proceedings. We
think it would have been infinitely better
'to have potlroned the trial till all publioi
ly could do no harm, even if that period
were liki ly to bo six months distant, than
introduce into this country so novel a tri
bunal, and one so repugnant to the spirit
of our institutions, as that which it now
sitting at Washington. It is one for
Mthicli no precedent is to bo found in the
liistory ol nuy freo country, and to which
the worst European despotisms have raro
ly ventured, even ia Poland or Hungary,
to resort. Even the unhappy victim nf
4he Irish rebellion wore prepared for the
gnllows in open court, tnd in the light ol
day.
Moreover, there are strong doubts en tots
'(ained by i'l affeced persons at the
Kortk as the existence ef any good foun
dation fortho charges made against Davis
in tbe lale proclamation. Abroad, all the

to imagine a position more humiliating

frivolously made. Nothing will prevent,

After a fortnight's painful labor, costing

As for Read's affidavit il amounts to
nothing at all, except lo show that he bas

itself;
It has caused Intense gratification

tiated upon any ieoi!e than the punish-

whose offences and fate were almost iden
