indictment the prisoners pleaded Not Guilty. The
public manifested great interest in the trial; and six
hundred people are said to have attended each day.—

Great was the confusion and anguish of the prison
ere on hearing.their sentence. Amid sighs, and in

to walk, was supported by the attendants.
The people, who never wanting in se ntiments of

Montpelier, fir a commutation of the punishment of

however,could be procured to the petition of Stephen.
The Assembly grunted Jesse's r equest—yeas 101,

Gov. Galusha brought the decision to the prisoners,
who respectfully received it as might have been expect

final farewell of his brother, his family and his friends,
at Manchester. was carried to the State Prison a t

of Dover, New Jersey, where Colvin had lived since

to the unhappy prisoner, he could scarcely sustain the
shock; and, v./ all appearance, it was only the doubt
that still hung over the subject which prevented his
dying. Other let tet s, however, from well known sour
ces, removed all doubt from the mind of the prisoner
and of the community. Finally, a New York paper
announced that Colvin had arrived and would aeon set
out fur Vermont. On the 221 of December Colvin
.entered Bennington in the stage, and, as may well be
supposed. was the "observed of all observers !" The
people ducked around; business was suspended; and
the County Court adjourned to look at him.

It is impossible to describe the inPrest which was a

rushed in from all quarters to catch sight of a man who
'came among them as one alive ft om the dead. They
could scarcely believe their own senses, till Colvin cal
led many of them by name So large and dense was
the crowd, that many could not get a look at him.--
Guns were fired; and the people ran to the neighbor
ing villages and towns to carry the news. The prison
-doors were unbolted, the chains were taken from Ste
,phen's arms, when he was allowed to meet Colvin.—
The mutual surprise and joy may be partly but not Fil
ly conceived.
Soon after, the Booms were set at liberty, and re
turned to live with their fumilies, having been rescued,
the one from a felon's ignominious death, and the oth

JOSIAH QUINCY AND HAIRY CLAT.—.The Bos

QuINCY, Jr.; about HENRY CLAY. During the war,
when Quincy and Webster were the leaders of the
New England Federalists, and took the side of Bri

were net considered very complimentary at the time
—among them, if we mietaltu not, was the expression
that Mr Q "soiled the carpet on which he trod."—
Notwithstanding the manifold and monstrous sins of
CLAY, he is much better than his IA rival. We won. '

a man:
"In his speech at the willg caucus the other even

PENNSYLVANIA LEGISLATURE.
HARRISBURGH, Jan. 23d, 1845.
In the Senate, after the unimportant turning bust ,
nese, Mr Darsie offered a joint resolution to suspend
the payments on domestic creditors' certificates, and
moved to proceed to its immediate consideration, but
the motion was lost—yeas 13, nays 19 The object of
the resolution is to legalize the unauthorized conductof
the State Treasurer, in withholding the payments due
on these certificates, and at the same time to secure
the appropriation to this object for the payment of the
interest on the let of February, by prevent big the net'
Treasurer from resuming these payments. The b l
ance now on hand of the sum appropriated by the last
Legislature, to the payment of domestic creditors, is
$102,159 46. yet fur the purpose of forcing a sufficien
cy in the Treasury to meet the next instalment of in
terest, and to give a favorable appearance to our affairs
at the close of the late administration, no payments
have been made on these certificates fur the last two
months. In this way near $lOO,OOO has been kept in
the Treasury, and $50,000 mere by the refusal to can
cel the quota of relief issues. It is in this way that
our interest, if paid in February, is to he met, and it is
by this means that the belief has been induced of our
ability to resume our interest payments.
The Senate then took up and after considerable de
bate confirmed the nomination of Luther Kidder to be
President Judge of the 2d Judicial district, by a vote
of yeas 26, nays 6.
Until after 11 o'clock the time of the House was ta

after which a number of local bills were passed, and
also the joint resolution of instructic.n relative to the
occupancy of Oregon Territory.
Mr H ullingshead read in place, a supplement to the

promote the formation of a rifle regiment iu the first

Mr Bayard introduced a Supplement to the Act to

INIXLANCHSLT AND FATAL ACCiLILICT..--We co.
py with with pain from the National Intelligersoer the
following particulars of a melancholy accident by
which Wade Van Buren Barker, son of Maj James N
Barker. formerly of this city, and now of Washington,
met his death on Monday last:
"From the evidence laid before the Coroner, it ap,

Monday, the unfortunate youth who was about 1G or
17 years of age, was alone in an upper room of his
father's house, when the report of a pistol was

female servant, immediately ran up stains and found
• young Barker lying sn the floor and severely wounded
by a pistol shot. The servant then instantly gave
the alarm, and Dr Hall and Dr .7 •F May were sent for,
but the young man died almost immediately.

First, to censure the false doctrines of Mr Ward's

Secondly, to strip Mr Ward of his degree in the U.

CASE OF MR DORR.
It ought to be fully understood in what situation Mr
Derr is placed, if he avails himself of the resolution a
dopted by the General Assembly. He would be re
stored to liberty, without the rights of citizenship. —
His oatb could not betaken-in a court of justice..he
cored not vote or he appointed to any office, even that
of constable. All the effects of his sentence would
be in as full force. except imprisonment, as they would
be without the resolution. As to rights, he would
stand lower than the lowest "fish-market loafer."
His adversaries allow him to be honest in his opinions
and in the course he has pursued. Could they ex
pect an honest, high-minded man would submit to the
degradation they would put upon him? Could they
expect that such a man would accept of liberation
and come forth into the community an object of pity to
his friends and derision to his enemies? What is
freedom under these circumstances.
The action, far from being merciful, exhibits rather
a feeling of undying hostility and revenge. Why should
Mr Derr accept liberty from their hands when they.
strip him of all those rights which render liberty desi
rable? He who has been the means of giving to more
than nine thousand of his fellow-citizens the bight; pri
zed and inestimable tight of exercising the elective
franchise, is to be deprived of that right himself. What
say those men to this? Are they satisfied with the re
sult? The man, be he a member of the General As
sembly or not, who asserts that they have extended the
same mercy to him that they have to others, and that
nothing more is required of him thhn of others, asserts
what he must know to be a gross falsehood. Mr Dorr
has suffered imprisonment for more than eighteen
months, nearly eight of which. under his sentenc has
been passed in the State's Prison. What other e,
per
son who has accepted of the matey of our rulers has
been so punished? Not one !
Is imprisonment nothing—is the loss of civil rights
nothing—that men should boast of their even handed
justice? Is it not evident that they are desirous mere
ly of a pretext to deceive the public—that they have
labored only to gain plausibility to their - oft repeated
falsehood, that "Mr Dorr is a self imprisoned man?"
is it not evident that the resolution ndopted by them
is a mere subterfuge—shut they would grant only such
terms as they supposed ho would refuse to accept?
And their object is to keep alive a hostile feeling in
the community for the sake of preserving their politi
cal existence as a "Law and Order party." They
ma be disappointed, t i would not be surprising ir

Obituary.
It is seldom indeed that we are called upon to mourn
over a death attended by more painful circumstances,
than that of A. SUTTON, Esq., late Prothonotary of
this county. The illness of Mr. SUTTON was but of
a few days duration, and he was suddenlycalled away
from his young family, at the retied when, mote than
any other, his tender care and fatherly guidance were
essential to their happiness and welfare. He was a
man of tobust frame, and as he lived in the most tem
perate manner, there seemed to be long years of health
and usefulness in storefor him—and the bereavment
of his family is the more distressing, because it was
entirely unexpected.
For many years Mr. SUTTON bad been active !And

Mr. PF.TZIINON; in 1840, he was again a candidate,

was a man of respectable talents and of tireless indus

kindness of heart and his generous devotion to the
