In this I' hope intexample will ho followed. It is not for me, occupying the publio.positinn I , do, to so prOstitato it as to unnecessarily wound the feelings of others. As far as I can, consietent with my duty, I intend to'' deal gently with my brother man—still gentler sistor woman." On the 4th day of November last there were three persona who have become prominent, man fully prominent, in the occurrences :which 'have led to the case which you aro now investigating. It has been welt said by tho gentleman who pre ceded me in this office, and with whom I had the pleasure of being associated in patio Piroseoutiune for six years, that "death makes , fearful revela tions.' • It often reveals poverty„: shame, and .crime, whore we believed existed virtue, peace, and happiness. Let me take up the nrst of that* proMinent peri sons--the one whose death we are inquiring inte—: and ascertain what the (riots are in reference to hint, as they have been proved in this ones. I ask you to divest your minds of all that has been said of him in the opening speeoh of the prisoner'e counsel, and to judge of him only as you know him by the ovidenee. Richard Carter was a man about 48 years of ago, a resident of Tainaqua is this State, Who had by energy, industry, and integrity acquired con siderahlo prom4ence. ' Ile was reputed to be it man of wealth, ,thd seas the president of a bank located at Tamaqua. De came to this city in No: •vember of 1856, and here met the raise= at the Madison House. Ile was there Informed by Miss MeCauley.that else intended to be married to the prisoner ; at which ho smiled, evidently consider ing it a joke. In December 13th, of same yea r, ho wee in Philadelphia again, end wee seen by the prisoner- and Miss Stnith, and after the marriage he was onetwor twice in oonspany with tho prisoner, his Wife and sister. • November 40, 1857, ho eras in Philadelphia— , OS his nephew in the street — walked with him "the - St.'-liayerenee dein' and von. as. converse wit , then rose up . end shot him. Richard Carter fill upon the ,leer and expired; and this is all the, testimony that, has been re ceived Ia evideneevith regard to him. • ' • " If I Were . to attempt to repeat what has been said abosit or to etiticipatavrldit rdaYitio sold of him; concerning matter* not in evidonee. it 'would foreign to the ease and unjust to him. But there is one point which I do desire to ex press myfopinion upon. It lsjust and right that I should do so. It is that Richard Carter never got up this marriage. It Was Ito work of his ; and, sf we are at all able to judge from the slender evi dent* Upon this subject, we must oonclude that he entirely disapproved of it. In feet, ho does not appear to have }mown that it was seriously eon templated, until the visit made to him by Miss Smith, formally announcing to him that it had been determined upon; and a letter of his has been alluded to, written to Miss McCauley, urging her to decline it, sayingto her liew could you i think of such a thing n, the situation in which you are ?" and telling her that if she determined to marry, " to destroy that letter, and all others from him." Do not let it be said, then, thathe brought about this marriage, or cajoled this prisoner into it. Whatever his faults or frailties may have been, this stain exists not upon his name. It is a saris faction to me to state this, and I do RA in justice to him and to truth, to these who knew him and loved him, and who still cherish his memory. It Is not fur use to expatiate upon his warmth of heart, or upon the generosity of his nature, nor upon those qualities which so endeared him to his friends, and warmed Into devotion the affection of his kindred, and made it imperishable. Lot us now pass to the consideration of the next prominent cheroot.? In this tragedy—Elizabeth G. McCauley, the wife of the prisoner. The evi dence in regard to her is: That elm was married to the prisoner on the 111th of December, 1858 ; that in April, 1857, she gave birth to a female child, now living, end that she slated that Carter was the father of it; that after the birth of the child she was taken to Bristol, and subsequently wrote two letters to her husband, which have been read in evidence. This is all the evidence con cerning her that I regard to be material in this case. I will not stop to criticise hoeconduet—she is not upon trial—it is not for mo to say how much or how little blame is to be attached to her; I am not her maser—she has not had any opportunity hero for-her defemse, and I forbear to Utter spy words of condemnation. There is one more prominent figure in the pano rama that is passing before us—the prisoner at the bar. Ills history as detailed by himself (you will remember o before you. lie appears to have a man filled — Wltta — utitcr - eeme-ef-naenr,or generous iuipulses, honest and confiding.

HOieliceissed with wilfully, mall• °toasty, and. with premeditation, taking the lifo of Rlehard .Carter.. All the cireumstancot•—and I will not go over the ovidenee—show this act to have been done under such circumstances as render it, it a crime at ail, a cruel and wicked murder, and of the first degree. Were is no escaping this con• elusion. In all the testimony—and there is no oc• onsion.noir for one to rev,ert to it—you can clearly discover the motives that prompted to the crime— the means by which it was committed. It is clearly proven, indisputably proven, that Richard Carter came to his death without notice or warn• leg, and'that the act was cowardly as it was crud. The law denounces it in its strongest terms. The prisoner is ealleil upon to excuse or justify it, or receive the, penalties duo to such a orime. And what is his excuse? • To all tide the prisoner, by his counsel, has an -steered by the plea of insanity, and, in introducing it, has warned no that no man should make light of thin plea because of its abuses. This, on the part of the prisoner's counsel, is a concession that it has been abused, and that groat crimes have been glossed over by this plea, and the sophistry used to render it available. Let me now, at the outset, else say, make not light of this plan, but examine it well, weigh with cars and caution the evidence adduced to support it . ; Eaton with attention to the law of the law as it will ho Mid down by the court in regard to It, and then decide it, fairly, honestly, anal It would be a burning disgrace to the adminis tration of the law to convict a man of murder who from disease is rendered incapable of committing crime; and it would ho equally disgraceful, as well use dangerous to the public pease, to the lives and safety of the citizens, if a criminal escape by Moans atlas plea, if it be unsupported by the evi denee and uneustained by the law. Lot it be known that a Man whose dearest affections have been trilled with, whose heart has been lacerated by injuries the very recital of which can make other hearts bleed—l say let it be known that such a one can seek the individual be believes to be his enemy, and take his life, and merely go through the forms of a trial in order to be acquitted_ in de filmes of all law—then all the securities which the law affords to - protest the sacredness of human life are tattehr htet orilittanevi t the _ )•,4 .

This test IS the existence of the power to distinguish be• twoen good and evil, right front w'rong.' Mr. Chitty, in Chitty's Medical Jurisprudence ' 354, says : "In predict:, to prevent the jury being embarrassed by any technicalities respecting the Import of this term "insane," the substantial question presented to the jury in this and all cases of alleged Idiocy, lunaoy, or insanity, either in. general or mono mania, (that Is delusion confined to a particular subject ' ) is whether at the time the alleged crimb nal act wee committed the yawner teas ineapa .ble of judging between right and earwig, and did,not that b'now As was committing an of fence (against the lam o f Oa and tel nett( a.

In 1813 occurred the celebrated case of Mc- Naughton.

The deceased was a stranger to him. lie was the secretary of Sir Robert Peel, anti was mistaken by,the prisoner for Sir Robert. The defence was insanity; that the prisoner was laboring under an Imam) delusion, that ho was the victim of some indefinite, mysterious ' and incessant persecution ; that he was everywhere followed by enemies, blasting hie fame; dtaturbing his peace, neottsing him of crimes, and filling him with Intolerable in. quietude; and, believing Sir Robert Peel to be one of hie persecutors, ho resolved tom:rine° him.

There were many appearances of cool premedita. Don about' this transaction, which exulted. public attention.

In order to constitute a crime, a person must have intelligence and capacity enough to have a criminal Intent and purpose. and if his reason and mental powers ate either FO detiolent that he has no will, no conscience or controlling mental pow ers, or if, through the overwhelming violence of mental disease, his intellectual power is for the time ohliteruted, he is not a respousihle moral agent, and is not punishable for criminal acts. But these are extremes easily distinguished and not to he mistaken. The difficulty hes between these extremes, in the eases ofpartial insanity, where the mind may he clouded and weakened, but not incapable of remembering,. reasoning, and judging, or so perverted by insane delusion as to act Under false impressions and influences, in these eases the mile of law. as we understand it, is this: A roan is not to be excused from responsi• bility if he has capacity and reason sufficient to enable hint to distinguish lictirecsn right and wrung as to the particular act lie is then doing. a ,knowledge and conselowness that the net he ie doing is wrong and criminal, and will sttbject him to punishment. In enter to be responsible, he insist hare sufficient power of memory to recollect the re lation in which ho stands to others, and in which others stand to Idin; that the tuft tie is doing is contrary to the plain dictates of justice and right, injurious to others, and a violation of the dictates of duty. On the contrary, although he may be laboring under partial insanity, if ho still under stands the nature and character of his net, and its consequences; if lie tons a knowledge that it is tcrong awl criminal, and a mental power sufficient to apply that knowledge to his OWII case, and to know that if lie Aloes the act he will do wrong s t ud receive punishment, such from insanity is not sufficient to exempt him from ielfonsibility for criminal 1106. . _ IT, then, it is proved to the satisfaction of the jury that the mind of the accused was in a die mood and unsound state, the question will be whether the dlaen o existed to so high a ilogreo that, fur the time being. it overwhohued the rea son, consiienee, and judgment, and whether the prisoner, in committing the homicide, acted from an irresistible and uncontrollable impulse; if so, 010 the act was not the nor of a voluntary agent, but the involuntary act of the body, without the rn courrenee of a mind directing it.

"I think, then, gentlemen of the jury, Icon An rely state, to you the law on this subject to he, that to render a party irresponsible for crime the jury must be satisfied, Orst, Hint the prisoner, at the time of ootrunitting the act. was of iligansed miud, and was not conscious that ho was doing a wicked and wrong thing, and was violating the law of (lad nail of man. 2d. That ho committed the net not from motivos of passion and revenge, but was inflow:lml to do it under an insane delusion, which; if trim, would be an excuso for the crime. 2(i. If he committed the net under ouch an Insane delu sion, that it wes done under a firm belief of the reality of the insane delusion. and under such oh , cumstsncos that denote, Chia delusion wee union trollable and the will was overborne." These are the principles upon which I ask you to deolde this ease—if they be determined to be correct by the court. These are the principles I seek to maintain, for upon their maintainanee, in my (minion, depend our lives and safety. To depart from these is to invite the commission of crime by the promise of protection to the criminal. You, gentlemen of the jury, aro the representatives of the many, and I am sure you cannot prove false to the great Inter est which the many have In your verdict. With a fixod determination to uphold the law of the land. turn to the evidence, and apply the low to it. 'lke Coniinonwealth has shown ail the cit.- cumstanees of the murder. and the prisoner, who seeks immunity under theplea of insanity, iv bound to sustain his plea. Ides lie done so ? line he satisfied you as to the eomlition of his mind at the time of committing the act ? 110 has chosen two grip of doing tide. First, as to the evidence of bisects, conversation, manlier, and appearance. (4econd, by the opinions of pernneg founded upon their observation of these things. Thirdly, by proving his temper. disposition and eliailioter, end that certain oceUrrenceS took place, and eeitain infornvition was communicated to bum, with a view Mat yon nun' infer bow for hit mind weld') be liktly to be affected by such intelligence. Let us consider this evidenoe in its order, and say how far it should be permitted to influence our minds. First, in regard to the conversations. cots, and declarations, lot nos refer to them as rapidly. but no fairly as I eon. [Hero Mr. Mann took the evidence and coin. vatittoi um it at loustil l and thon said ;I* Now, gentlemen, what le this bat the language 'of digress, the wail and lamentation of a high 'spirit, whose love bad been betrayed, whose eg se . Lions had been wasted upon a 'wanton, and who burned with indignation against those whom he 'believed responsible for Ms affiletiotur? •Lock at his expressions, -proceeding from a poetic Anita Is he insane beoause he had ideas such AS nom to the mind of every dotting busbald who believed his wife a wanton; Mark the similarity between tho language end behnolor of Tllo.42od)Vashiostain Smith and that of the wronged Othello. The one says: " tiara's he that was Othello." The other r Here's the remnant of Thoratia Washington Smith , The One says : My wife !• what wife ? I have no wife. The other says : I have no wife. Tho ono says: Farewell the thunder of the war—the plumed troops. 'The other says: I've done with politics forever. This is not insanity; it is poetry 'And romance, and quite consistent with all we know of the raja ' °neer' Character from boyhood. Now—now look at what is said by the witnesses as to his manner., ap pear:lnm, and behavior, and tell me if they de scribe anything more than a man in the'eaireurity of his distress. pin Mann then closely reviewed ' the various descriptions given of the prisoner by the witnesses, and then proceeded.) I now pass on the opinions given by-the witnesses as to the insanity of the prisoner; and I say M you, that all their °pintoes may be, true and the prisoner may be responsible foverloio. Tho law that permits this opinion M be given to you says that the wit ness shall first state to so.m all the facts upon whieh it is founded before its gives his opinion. You have then the mesas to Judge what the opinion is worth. No opinion is fairly before you unless the witnesa giving it was able to recollect, and did re oollait, and state the facts upon ithieh Ma opinion wee %united, You observed Met Itilabie many of them wore to reeolleet the foots, and one of the witnessed, whose opinion will be winch relied on, (Mr. Brinton,) stated that his opinion was founded upon the Impressions Made upon his mind at the time, and not upon his recollection of the facts, though ho did say, "that his recolleotions con firmed them" The law requires that his rem!. leetiou should bo the foundation, not the confirm. titian; •et his opinion. But, taking all this for true, how sadly does it fail to convince ua of the irresponsible condition of tho prisoner's mind at the time ho committed the crime True, his health was shattered, his mind disordered. The testimony goes so far and there it stops; your opinion, not theirs, Is to de. ,chle this WOO ; and that is to bo founded upon all the evidence—it is to be based upon all the nets of tho prisoner, including that long and quiet conver sation with his:victim, whom he called his foe— that long and quiet conversation which no tongue can relate but the prisoner's. Do all them opinio n s and statements of sympathising friends remove from your minds the terrible reality that the pri soner was conscious of the wrong he committed, and was actuated by wounded retch) and an Meat]. ablo thirst for vengeance. Do these opinions, and them statements of the facts upon which they are founded, satisfy you that the )prisoner, when he fired the pistol at the St. Lowrance Hotel, on the dth of November, had not mind enough to comp.hend that ho was com mitting murder—that Inc was doing a wrong for whieh lie would be liable to arrest and trial? If they do so satisfy you, how do you account for his saying I will give myself up to none but an officer, and submitting calmly to en officer after threaten ing all others to stand off on the peril OR their lives? Does not this show on his part a full know ledge of nil his responsibilities to the law ; if se— if the law were present in his mind, forbidding him to kill, and he, disregarding its mandates and its warnings, and chose to murder, then all this evidence as to his insanity upon one subject can not avail him. Besides, his grievance was not a delusion—was not a supposed grievanoe—but a sad reality. How could,e then, be said to be insane upon that sub ject ? lie was not laboring under a false idea that Carter had wmnged him. lie had witnessed what lie believed to be, fn conneotion with the statements of his wife, the truth. now, then, can it be said he was deluded ? This man's mind was filled with grief. It was of such a character that he nursed a sorrow and allowed it fo occupy' the greater part of his thoughts. Ile was fondof talking of his troubles, and generally did eo to his friends when occasion offered. He was unhappy—life had lost its chorine :or him, and, controlled by false notions of honor, lie determined to take the life of a man ho believed had wronged him. Is there not rea son, reflection, judgment, and decermination in all this Let us look at this act in detail. After bearing all the testimony can you say that this prisoner, at the time he committed this murder, did not know that he was doing an Oct that would render him liable to arrest and punishment? If be did not knew, what did he moan when ho said to the crowd, "Stand off?" DM be not then know that he bad done an net that, unexplained, would reader him a crimfnal in all men's eyes—an act that wee wrong. and that might endanger his own person ? Was ho not afraid that he might be attacked for it, and injured by those who were around him; who would naturally be excited by such 'conduct? Had he not the law before his eye*? If not, why did ho Inquire for its officers, and render himself up to them alone, without a struggle? Did he not give away hie weapons, fully realizing his situation. and eOnSetOlia he would never use them again ? tthlt n irs b itiA;;Fsrillune * i'voucd . eutier, t' aTl anxious at the office of the alderman to make a statement which would palliate his offence In the eyes of the community? Woe ho not consoious of the relation in which he stood to his own friends and the friends , of the murdered man? Did he not give directions to his friends In Market street, and direct that intelligence should be sent to hissister? Those ere all controlling facts. and when you Allow them the weight they are entitled to have, you will find no difficulty in deciding the; question as to the prisoner's knowledge of right and wrong. and that tho act was criminal, and contrary to the liw of the land. There is another view of this ease that I ask you le think upon. 'This prisoner sat down by Mr. Carter, and talked with him In a low tone for at tenet twenty minutes, Had there been a glare in his eye, or anything wild in his appearance or be havior, would not Carter have noticed It? how can you account for Carter sitting and talk ing so long and so ineautiouely with an insane man? Would he have smiled if ho had thought he was talking with a lunatic, and allowed that lu natio to draw a pistol and level it at hie heart, without observation or opposition? There are many things which naturally suggest themselves to your winds, that must satisfy you that the prisoner at this time fully comprehended his net and all its consequences; and whether he did so or mot, la the question you aro to decide. Even if you believe hint to bo insane, In order to acquit you must be lieve that his Insanity prevailed to such an extent as rendered him unable to comprehend hie tot and its consequences. Did he comprehend the act? Did he know it would Subject him to punishment? This i. the great question of the case, and you ere solemnly to decide under your oaths and re epomibilitice. It is true that philosophy has taught us that in some meamie virtue is its own reseal, and vice its own punishment But the law of the land, in older to protect its citizens from crime, has seen proper to ordain that certain punishments shall be affixed to certain edema ; this, in addition to nil the inducements of virtue, supplying the fear of punishment, to countervail against the helm:meld to crime. But if the fear of punishineut is de molished or destroyed by allowing criminals to te.enpo under the plea of insanity, all the protection furnished by the law is destroyed.nnd virtue is left to be ite own toward, and the censeieueness of having committed the fearful crime of inutder will • bo its only punishment. From what I know of you. gentlemen. you will not—you ()linnet do this thing. If your reason and judgment. if your consciences tell you the prieener is guilty under the law, I ant sure you will say eo—and this is a matter to be decided by your reason, judgment, and not by sympathy. Were it to bo decided by sympathy alone, long before this his prison doors would have been opened, and he would have been allowed to depart unpunished. .1 think I may state, withotit, doing violeneo to my position, that I have never prose cuted amen whom leo sincerely pitied.
