Geed& e nen, this prosecution hinges on 'the cabalistic word ' . `coaspiracy!" and what is a conspiracy? If I look , NO-dleteiictianary fee the meaning of find that af -cuersgskracy is "a private agreement between several ;'trees to Commit Lerime." Now, that is the corns 'non seems difinition of the word; burit has been ta .ken under theerpesial protection of the gentleman of, rite bar, aid They, mot coatearwith the common sense meaning, takeeha word in a two-fold sense, in a way • ,f their "own; they have-two hooks to their line—end 1 -telt you thatesse twist spell out a conspiracy by irnpli elation, where you-baneu° evidence of any agreement s.xisting. Well, -letats take the conspiracy which is alleged in she present case, and see what are its nega ire and affirmative qualities; let us see what is the ev- Mance beeright by the crown to establish it. In the 1 1 .first place., it is admitted by the Crown itself, that I -herein nosecrecy in the matter--that the conspiracy' deer riot consist of any privatangreement—any secret seoiety—they do"%ot allege any private information-- I:0,mo% even a single private conversation. Every thing was open, unconcealed, public, as clear to the ewes of the whole world as the nutin-day eon. Its evidence was to be found in the columns of the Evening Mail quite at much as in the Evening Post. It was raked up out of that secret abyss of most se .eret information—the newspaper. The conspiracy 'vas concocted in tin face of the world, and the boll 'nan sent about to invite all who wished to come in etel be witnesses—so it il a not easy to deiced oneself from the charge of conspiracy- ander such circumstan ces. I submit there should be an agreement to con stitute conspiracy, and not such an agreement as in made in that way before the world; nut an agreement , vhich is made for instance in the presence of the law eificers of the Crown, of the learned Attorney Genet . el,. or Solicitor General. of her Majesty's Sergeant at-law. You see the absurdity, gentlemen, of culling smelt an agreement a conspiracy. Is :t, indeed, corn . mon sense 7—is it to be endured by rational men that we should be told that such an agreement is conspire. 4'll But when was the aereement made, or how. or where was it made ? Was it in the winter season, or in the snminer, in spring, or in autumn 1 iVas it on a holiday, or week clay ? \That was the hour, or day, or week, or year, on which it was entered into ? Who was it that proposed ir, or who seconder! it ? Gentlemen, I appeal to your commonsense and reagent; I ask you to place yourselves in my position, and to suppose that you address a Catholic Jury, as I ? address you, and would you not feel—l will not call it intligna tien—but would you net laugh to scorn the idea, that a Jury should find you guilty of a conspiracy under such circumstance- , ? There is not the slightest evi slence before you of any concoction which would be re quired iii the crime of cinspiracy. I don't know wheth er even I am accused of having been present at the fernation of the conspiracy, hut surely if so, some time ought to have been pointed out that I might have the benefit of an alibi, if I could make it uut (laughter.) But here the charge is spread over so much time, and in so indefinite a way, that I should oily take it asa , toss up whether or nut 1 was present on the occasion. Was the agreement in writing or was it a parole one I Really, gentlemen, iron action at Nisi Prius were to e supported by such evidence, and that you were in the box to try thecase if there were even no more than n £lO contract at stake, I ask you could you find a vet-- - diet that thettantract existed I It might be said, as it was to a certain Judge, whose time has long since pass ed away—"My lord, it might not be evidence in the tmesection of a £lO promissory note, but it would by "evidenceto almost a prosecution on a criminal charge in your lordship's court." Gentlemen, it is not here a, £lO contract, which is at stake; but, as in the case of a contract, yourhonest view of the case will be, that if a conspiracy exists it must be proved; and, if not proved—that it does not exist The Attorney General, in good sooth, leaves it to ocr imagination to discover where the conspiracy exists. A conspiracy ought to ho a reality; bat he leaves it altogether to you to imagine it. I don't speak in any elisparaeement of his talents. I admit that lie has ethown much talent and much ingenuity, and industry. •in laying this case before you. He occupied eleven hours—eleven mortal hours—in his statement, yet in what part of it did he tell you the conspiracy existed? " Wait (said he) till I come to the close;" and when lie got to the close, " Go back (said he) to the begin ning--gu through the whole of it, and find out the con spiracy the best way you can." It is not with any affectation thdt I say it, but if any could have found out the proofs of a conspiracy existing, it would be the Attorney Genteel Yes, he took 11 hours to tlimw these extracts into your box fat you to find out that Otero was a conspiracy. There are the Pilot, Nation, and Freeman, read them—it is good enough for you, make out die conspiracy if you can out of the evidence they give. I remember once, on the Munster Circuit, the celebrated Egan was defending a case which was stated by a Mr. Hoare, n gentleman of a dark appearnee,who made a very strongspeeeb. Egan, in reply to this—and by the way, he was sure of his jury, which is an excuse I want—said, " I em sure you will not be led away by the dark oblivion of a brow." (A laugh) " Why, Egan," said someone to him, " that is nonsense—why did you say so?" "To be sure it is," was his reply, " butisn't it good enough for a jury?" ( Lens:fuer.) Su eleven hours is good enough for you. Gentlemen, it is monstrous—it is criminally monstrous—to say that is a conspiracy which takes eleven hours to develope it Hardy was tried for constructive treason, and to celebrate his ac quittal, an anniversary was held. When the health of one of the Jurors was drunk, one of the Jurors, not much acquainted with public speaking. made a speech. Ile said, " Mr. Chairman, I tell you I &spitted Har dy, because Lord Eldon—then Sergeant Scott—took eleven,hours to state the case, eight or nine days giv ing evidence, and I know that no man could bo really guilty of treason when so many words were used to tell it, and such a long time to prove it, (laugh.) have made up my mind to convict a man of high trea son when the case is proved, but I won't he for letting an Attorney Geperal ransack newspapers in order to make out a case." -( A laugh.)—'floe case was one exactly in point. If a conspiracy existed, thu Attor ney General would not have taken an hour or an hour and a half to do so—he would have stripped it of its verbage—he would, es a Barrister—for, though I am not iu my wig and gown, I'll stand up for the Bar still —have stated a plain case to the jury—he should have laid his hand on it—he would have shown you when, whore, hew, who were the men, what was die time— the date,—the circumstances—but he leaves it all to yourselves to solve—it is good enough for you! (Loud laughter.) But no conspiracy or secrecy was ever imputed, and you have, therefore, nothing left but conjecture—noth ing to suppose happened in private— . the entire is be fore you , and, therefore, I stand on this—if you know itell—there never was a case in which the Attorney General was so little entitled to call a jury to spell out something beyond the case—something which you are left to guess at. Gentlemen, you may remember about %belittle the trials were about to - commence, the halls ofthese Courts and ths, country wore full of rumors.— It was said that something dark and atrocious would come out—that they had a clue to everything. I do imlemnly assure you that no less than seven gen— tlemen were pointed out as betraying me. Such a man,itis said, was seats going into Mr Kemmis' office —another wapat the Castle—a third WWI seen going into the house of a certain barrister, near your residence Se tierrion square. 'Do not associate friends, ' said he to ute,'srith Mr so-and-so, he is a •traitor--hs will be- tray you: and thus no less than seven suffered in their ehanstiter exceedingly. Nil answer was—they have nothing to betraYmnueh gold my du them if theyso to these places. If they invent they will be paid well for it. I ask you gentlemen, did you act expect, when empanelled in the bus, to bear something which you did, notknivw before—some plot discoveted--sorne se cret machination—some private conversation of some of these .Traverses which would astonish you? If you were so fortunate as not to expect ell these things, you have net been disappointed; but if you entert a i ne d the exile, was ever disappointment so complete ? Go you please; search. search. consider, scan o i waiwid tmoo , and a conipikey is nowhere to bo found. All sayer the Attorney General—is that all, has be nothing mere to-tell? We knew all that before, tied pot ties is stompiracy ! Yes gentleman, what be oxese#l the dark destges,...ths stratagems, the couple Baja ttsh eniOni in the imagination' f so many-van. ' I , l:nlin. nothing to disclose. nothing disarmed ? It would have been the duty of the gmeremmit, and they have plumy of resources to purchase true testimony, to proves conspiracy, if it existed. 'lfs cannot son. real i ,freas ourselves that it is a kind of ministerial crime—that theNtereelotf is, whether we shall Weda cc:meatus:try ministry in office, who will enlarge tint ee lebti4e franchise, tor the Whigs again promoted, who promised to as a good deal; and did little. That is thequestion. Vets perceive, then. what interest in for warding every part of the case--the strong stake--the interest they have to di s cover the real facts existing—. the anxiety utdiscover endpoint, out aceaseiracylto fol low the conspirators into their caves and recesses, and bring theirdiabelieni acts to the light °fatty. No man could have a stronger motive in conducting the prose cution than the Attorney General. No man has so to tally &Red. And Nhy ? Because he had nothing to discover. Ilia impossible to answer it otherwise.— Every motive which can influence power was brought to play—all the authority and influence of wealth—situ ations in the excise and custorme—in the police office =the constabulary, and above all things the revenue police—every temptation, in fine, and yet all in vain— fur one reason, beauuethere was nothing to disclose— nothing to betray. Well then, what is the evidence ? If we have noth iag new. let us see what the old is. The life, they any, of an old coat is a nem, button—let us see if they stitch ed any old almanack on the old story read. There is nothing but repeal demonstrations. They rely on two things—first, the meetings, and next the newspapers —to spell out the indefinsble conspiracy which existed in the imagination. They ' , ive you neither date, or time, or place, or position , but first, the accounts of mectingS held, and next, the evidence of that fact from VOIUMO3 of newspapers. We shall consider each of these by itself, but would you allow me to make this observation As there is nothing secret, and as you know all, I ask you to consider what would tempt me. an old lawyer to make a public conspiracy, and induce the Irish people to enter into it? I boasted that I kept the people from the meshes of•the luw—that was one of my boasts. You heard it read twenty times from my speeches; and does one of you believe, under those I circumstances, that I entered into a public conspiracy? 1 If there was anything secret you must say the old law yer saw it, and is there one of you can believe that?— You may Not have es favorable an opinion of me as those who know me better. You only know me and my principles through the medium of calumny—but there is not one of you who can think me such an idiot as to ruin the cause nearest my heart—the darling- object of my ambition—the cause for which I refused to go on the bench—the cause for which I refused the office of Master of the- Rolls. There is, I know, a question whether or not I refused the office of Chief Baron, but there is none of my refusal to he Master of the Rolls.— I refuted the dignity and leisure of the bench—with an accumulation ofyears upon my bead—l know the short time I have to labor in my vocation. That eternity, and the'approach of that judgement which will consign me to en eternity of weal or woo, cannot be long post poned; and do you, can you imagine I would he s-) cruel as to enter into such conspiracy—into such n gross absurdity? Irish gentlemen, put your hands 'o your hearts and say—does any one believe that ? Pardon me if I will make too free with you; but spell out the el even hours, using your charges as you may, and say, can you find me guilty of a foul conspiracy ? Your verdict may strike me—it may shorten the few days I have yet before me—but it cannot destroy the con sciousness which I feel that I am entitled to your ver dict. But, perhaps, gentlemen, the Attorney General wants yeu to believe that I sin a conspirator, without knowing it, like a man that has stumbled into a pit in the dark. But it all occurred in the open day, and I could not fall without knowing it. If you believe any thing you must believe that I am a conspirator with out my own knowledge, and there can be no guilt without a guilty intention. But I scorn to rest my defence upon a paltry point of law ! The tl.ing is too plain, too simple, to require it. It is anew invention on this side of the water, some person here has been dreaming of it; this imaginary conspiracy is now rest ing on ycur minds without the slightest particle{ofreality. Would slavery have been abolished at the present moment if its advocates had entered into a conspiracy? and yet they held their public meetings, and by those meetings mule for themselves bitter and unrelenting enemies. There never was a more formidable party than the West India partyin England, and they might have taken the newspapers, and from the reports given of their proceedings here, with equal propriety, have prosecuted them for a conspiracy—they should have indicted Wilberforce, who has written his name upon the most prominent pages of history, as the strenuous advocate of freedom—and who will never be forgotten. whilst a feeling in favor of humanity exists—he should have been indicted for a conspiracy. The venerable Clarkson, ton, is yet alive, and upon the same princi ple should still be prosecuted as a conspirator. Con vict us, and he is not free in his old age. Don't take away, gentlemen, the only i-.ope we have of giving ex pression to our wishes, our wants, our grievances, and drive from us the right of free discussion. By the names of Wilberforce and Clatkson, I conjure you to dismiss from your hex every attempt to shut out free discussion. In reference to the abolition of slavery, I rejoice to say that I was a sharer in that movement; and though humble and ungifted as I. am, I had the honor to belong to that conspiracy by which slavery was abolished. I certainly did pour out the lava of my indignation upon the supporters of the vile system. If this doctrine of conspiracy had sooner been found out, I suppose we would at the present day see the cruelty and ferocity carried on toward the negro poet,- ' !ration; but it was the Heaven-descending inspiration of bold humanity that has established the freedom of man. What would become of the reform in parlia ment? Would it have been given us as fat as we have got it, or would we now be promised another reform by the Queen's speech. had it not been for those large public meetings? Fer Catholic emancipation, before it was granted, we held equally large meetings,and there was an eminent lawyer at that day—and I hope the Attorney General will not imagine that I mean him any disrespect when I say that he was his superior—who bad as strong an antipathy to that menaure—l mean William Saurin. He watched us, and he was defea ted on one trial that he prosecuted; but he never thought of turning it into a prosecution fur a conspira cy. I was tried at that time for words I had spoken; but I was never tried for a conspiracy; wo had our parish meetings and our county meetings; on the 17th of January, 1829, there was what I may term a simul taneous meeting held in every parish in Ireland at the same moment; and would not that have been evidence of °conspiracy, if what you are now called upon to be lieve is sufficient evidence? Upon that day every parish n-solved that they would never give up the agitation of the question until their object was Accomplished. It was reserved, however, for the present Attorney General to discover that those meetings were evidences of a con spintey, There is a very serious question for discue3ion at present in England; that question is for the purpose of obtaining cheap bread for the poor. lam not going to enter into that subject now, gentlemen, although I am fully prepared to do' so. We have been charged with having collected money; the Anti• Corn Law League and the Anti-Slavery Society have both collec ted money also; and the Anti-Corn Luw League have been charged with incendiarism, and other illegal acts, which I am far from charging them with; but similar charges have never been attributed to us. Is this pre cedent to be sent ovr to England, and the agitation to obtain cheap bread fur the poor, :o be turned into a vile conspiracy? No, gentlemen, the Englishmen are safe. There will not be a juror worn in England to try the case. I was mocking and jesting with you when I said Englishmen were in danger. They will be protected by their own Jury, and all that we ask er require is, that our jury will protect us. In this mode will redress for the English peop!e be worked out, des pite of those who are now uneasy in the enjo)ment of their monopolies under the accumulated weight of pub lic opinion. A celebrated French author says—and I de not quote him in approval of the conduct of the French. for no man abhors more sincerely and more intensely than I do their infidel republicanism--one of their great men has said that, "you cannot make a revolujon with rose water." He would effect it by blood. Lon the contrary, by the peaceful influence of public opinion, employing not rose water, but gene- Trish spirit as one of my ingredients--(Laughter.) !

Then their majority was 3048, now their entire vote is only 4315, and the whole vote shows that whiggery has hilt since 1840, 2909 of the votes polled for Harrison. A leading Harrisonman of 1840, thinks thattho pres ent rejoicing of thecoons at this result, only proves their consciousness that their cause is growing like a oow's tail—dowrivrards. The late election does in fort show that the Clay men polled a minority of votes.— It is notorious that some two or three hundred demo crats, for reasons nowise discreditable to our candidate, voted for Mr Darragh, and that eight or nine hundred more did nut vote at all.

It says that the result was a most triumphant victory for the democratic party, notwithstanding the efforts of the Federalists to defeat the regular nominees by voting for Democratic volunteers. With one or two exceptions, the entire regular ticket aas elected by a large n.ajority.

Fiat in Loa isv itta.—On Thursday morning about 1 o'clock, three large four story brick warehouses were destroyed by fire on Pearl street, Louisville, owned by Samuel Page, Esq.

ANOTHER STEAMBOAT ACCIDENT.—The St Louis Reporter, of March 11th, states that the Annawan reports the steamer Highlander sunk at the foot of the Grand Chain, but according to the Statements made by passengers in the White Cloud, there is some doubt about the extent of the accident. it appears that the boat struck and hung on a bar. About 20 !ads of su gar were damaged. The Balloon brought up the pas sengers of the Highlander and the U S Mail. The steamer Otter arrived here on Saturday last, from Galena, with a cargo of lead.

THE DE SOTO AND BUCKEYE It appears from the accounts in the New Orleans pa pers of the sth inst., that great excitement exists in that city resulting from the appalling loss of the Buck eye. Certificates have been published exonerating the officers ofthe De Soto fcmn all blame, but this does not seem to satisfy the public mind. On the 4th inst the Senate of Louisiana passed a bill requiring an in vestigation into the cause of the calamity, and it was thought the House would pass the same immediately. Capt. Caldwell, of the Buckeye, is out with a card cen suring the De Soto, and Capt. Kimball, of the latter boat, is preparing a statement in self-defence. The Tropic of the sth says the sinking of the Buck eye was caused by grosstand unpardonable careless ness, and asset is that it is impossible that it could have occurred in any other manner, as the morning was clear %pd pleasant. We are sorry to think any officer or officers could be so hardened and malicious as to en danger the lives of hundreds intentionally, or cause the immediate death of some fifty or sixty people, but the opinion of a respectable paper, having a better view of fasts, forces the conclusion upon us! Such recklessness and inhumanity should be punished when fairly established as a warning to all ushers. Terri ble, indeed, is the thought that human nature is capa ble of such misdeeds.—Cia. Com.
