But it is said that assaults and batteries, though breaches of thf IawJ do not, ns most oth er offences, imply ar. moral turpitude in those who commit them ;:and yet they are not exempt ed from the operalioif of (hat section. True, they are not. Bat, iri regard to offences of that kind, I ha ve already shown' that they might be disposed of under the provisions of the bill that contained lhe seclion objected to,m two differ ent way : 1st. By af plea Of guilty before a jus lice of the peace; Sdty. By amicable agree ment and compromise between the parties. Then, if these methods of adjustment failed, a prosecu tion by indictment was discouraged by the pro visions that required this prosecutor to endorse the indictment tor coats j and the party accused to be recognized to appear before the court. r Under these various regulations, obviously in tended, as, indeed their effect was, lo discourage prosecutions for assault and battery, but few ca ses, and those only of in aggravated kind, which ihe parties could not arrange before a magistrate or settle between ihemselfesi were ever likely tu be carried into court, ! Suppose, however, a person imprisoned on ac count of a firfe for assault and battery an event lhat could never cccuri under the legal enact ments to which I have preferred, without a more ihan ordinary degree of delinquency he could, nevertheless, procure his enlargement by any of the means before indicated. And if be did njt avail himself of them, bat chose rather to be dis posed of under the 1 9 ib section, it would clearly be his own Fault. J i!' J ; In conclusion of my remarks on this branch of the casej I woold ask gentlemen to compare the 19ih with thcliib section, with a iew to ad just their relative clairis iBpon our approbation. If I am not greatly deceived, the latter section confers a power tar more likely to prove danger ous and oppressive in its exercise than the for mer, andyet it passed by a silent vote, and witb .oat. oppo$iion 'from any ne. I r tWe have in type another colafon of Mr. Ma son's speech, which wa designed for this week's paper; but ear aver 1m MrrMnnnnt tave crowdeiftout. It shall appear next week. that paper is admitted a coarse and malig nant article, in which is the allegation, that we are placed at the head of the Watch man merely nominally1, for the purpose of serving the private end s of the former Ed itor. Now, we care not who may be the writer bf that at tide, but we pronounce this charge a mean and dirty falsehood, anil we believe it to ' proceed from a low wish toinjjre us as well as to gratify malice a gainst the former EditprI' 1 ? - I certainly heard the report alluded to.

These certificates, we presume, are in tended to prove, what ifr. Fisher's liltram body-guard, have certified that be said, A wit r That it had been generally reported and frequently; charged, without contradic tion by Mr. Clay, that he was opposed to the appointment: of Gen. Harrison as Min ister to Colombia.", - Now, how far the proving such a report i r, iu iiivc cai-icu j ui some pans or unio, makes out; their case, (paltry aa the case is) we will not stopto inquire. But we mean to hold Mr. Fisher to the true issue, Sand that is presented in Mr. Clay's letter. ''jHe has enjoyed abundant opportunities during tbe present session of Congress, to ascertain from me, personal ly, whether tbe assertion Was true or not' says Mr. Clay, arid yet he prefers going in to North Carolina and hazzarding the as sertion upon; report. But this is a small matter I so very small, that it must be so pronounced in all Mr. Fisher's letters And this we suppose, is his excuse for choosing to circulate a false report in pre ference to findingfout the truth when it ivas perfectly convenient to do so. If it was too small to inquire about, it boght to have been too small foran Honorable member of Congress to use in a deliberate way to in jure tbe reputation of another. We ear in a inaetibtratt tray, for in order to gi?c greater weiljtt his assertion, flourishing compliments were lavished on Mr. Clay.' (A most unusual thing from such a source. He wan eailed a! gallant statesman' tad a patriot and all that.
