Circuinstantial Ei:ialence.—The uncertainty
.-fcircumstantial evidence is well known, and
‘Hilly ahapless individual has been accused of it
‘rime of» which he was innocent-convicu
..l on evidence which seemed conclusive-and
wxecuted ! We canhardly conceive of any thing
iiore dreadful than the infliction of the punish-
ment ofdeatm upon an innocent person. It is
murder of the tnost horrible kind. But cases of
this kind do_,.and must occur, ‘.,'0_l°“¥I fisflle P79‘
judicial system exists, and capitalpuiiisahments
are authorised by ourlaws. This ot i_tse1fiurnish-
es a strong a.rguuieut.agai_rist inflicting the pun-
ishment ofdeaih for any crime. It is sometimes
the case that circumstances are so strong that
an the ingenuity of Council, the sagacity of the
judges, or the integrity of the jury, cannot. pro-
,,en; a ‘verdict of guilty, when the person tried is
altogether free from any participation in the
crime. D We recollect of hearing a case in point.

A negro who had run away from his master in
South Carolina, arrived in London in an Ameri-
can ship. Soon after he landed, he got acquaint-
ed with a poor, honest laundress In W“PP‘"g:
who washed his linen. This poor woman usual-
11y wore two gold rings on one of her_ fingers ;
'd that she had szved a little mo-

Slie was a ivflidow’, and lived in a humb'e
dwelling with her nephew. _One night her ne-
phew came home much intoxicated, and was put
to bed. The negro, who was aware of the cir-
cumstance, thought this would be a favorable
opportunity for executing his bloody design.-
Accol-dlngly, he climbed to the top rt the house,
stripped ‘liirnself naked, and descended through
the chimney to the apartment of the laundress,
whom he murdered—-b_ut_not iiiittll after a severe
struggle, the noise of which awoke her drunken
nephew, in the adjoining rooi_n-who got up and
hastened to the rescue of his aunt.

[From the: Patriot Democrat.

€323,479--Ro'rA'rioN IN OFFICE.
One of the cardinal principles ofthe immortal
Jelfersori, was “rotation in office,” and it was
a principle advocated by him and by the leaders
of the democracy of 1800, with greatability and
force of reasoning. It was ‘received by the
party as a sound political maxim-as an article
in their creed. The old federal party. were
charged by the democrats of those dayswith be-
lieving in the opposite doctrines; they wanted
to hold office forever. and gctiheir living entirely
from the people. One Presidential term was not
enough for ihein to hold office, nor two-—-but they
wished a lease of it for life, according to their
notions of a rnonarcliical government. Ifthey
held one oliice. they were always willing to give
it up, provided a better one, or morelionorable,
could be given them-—bu£ not otherwise. Such
doctrines were repudiated by the democrats of
those davs. And we would ask if these were
federal doctrines in 1800, are they noise now'!'i

In thesedays it is necessary to recurto ancient
landmarks, to find out what true democracy is;
and when its original principals are ascertained.
to hold on to them as to our sheet anchor, or we
shall be driven on to the quicksands of Loco-
Focoism, where so many have been wrecked,
and which will prove_a political Maelstrom to the
Republican party, unless they are speedily “di-
vorced” from it.

To show how entirely this article in the De-
mocratic creed is forgotten, we will instance a
single case in our own state, where this princi-
ple is trampled under foot. We will sho_w that
there is an individual who has received and who
will receive between April 1829 and March 4th.
1836. 823,479 ofilie people's money, by the en-
joyment of two high and important ofiices, and
yet who asks for $12,000 more. Lest our rea-
ders should ihink there is no such character who
is a democrat. or that we are dealing in fiction.
we are under the very unpleasant necessity of
naming the individual, in order to substantiate
our charges—am'l he is none other than the Hon.
JOHN M. NILES. This gentleman was ap-
pointed Postmaster in this city, upon the recom-
mendation of onlysix individuals, in April 1829,
and continued to hold that office till December
1835, a period of nearly seven years. when on
the old federal principle ofiotation, he was ap-
pointed a Senator in Congress, which office he
has since held, and his term expires March 4th,
1839. His salary as Postmaster was 2.000 dol-
lars per annum, with perquisites for reiitof boxes
and other items, amounting to 500 dollars more.
His pay as Senator is eight dollars per day, with
eight dollars for eiery twenty miles travel boil,
in and from Washington. With these facts, we
will show the amount ofthe people’s money ye-

finger with the rings--but liefore he could escape,
he was grappled with the nephew, who being a
owerful man, though much intoxicated, vet‘
neuly overpowered him. when by the light or the

Lucky 'I’hough(.—-'l‘liree men were recently
rescued. at the town ofPrcston. (Eng.) from a
a perilous and unenviablc situation, bythelucky
thought of a woman. They were masons, and
employed in building the lofty cliiiiiuey ofa
steam saw-mill. They had nearly completed
their work, and were, “topping off” the flue,
at an elevation of one lttmslred and eightyfecl
from the ground, when by some accident. the
rope "connected with the blocks, by which the
materials were raised to the workmen, broke,
and as it was only by the help of the satne rope
that the workmen could descend from their
eminence, it will easily be conceived that their
situation was by no means an enviable one.
Various means were tried to get a line within
their reach by the help of a kite, and by other
plans. At lengtli three o'clock in the afternoon
had arrived, and the three poor lellows were still
resting at -their awful elevation. when the dis-
iressed wife of one of the uuforiuuaies. had the
felicity to reinemberthat her hiisband had on a
new pair of knit stockings. “Use your knife,”
she cried out, “ and cut the toe of your stocking,
continue the ravelling until you get a length
sufficient to reach the earth, then attach a small
stone to sink it here." The man obeyed the
oracle. and in a short time he had a length of
worstcd long enough to reach the ground, which
he let down. The next business was to tie the
worsted to a thin cord. which the men drew tip
.nnd the original rope for the block having been
fastened to the cord. it was also drawn tip. and
so adjusted as to enable them with safety to de-
scend on _t,e,i'ra fi_r_tn§!.
