We are well pleased with both the substarw e and
manner of the Present Message, llis sentiments
are American, and his style is neat, flowing and
graceful ; neither ormmented nor disfigured with
metaphorical expression : He does not labour to
enforce particular opinions or to gain plaudits for
his superior patriotism, lie appears to write tx-
cause business requires U, and does not seein to
make business the pretence for exhibiting fine
writing. Unanecteu simplicity oi language com

irregular conviction ; but as the numerous au
thorities cited from the books were not conclu
sive either way, the difficulty was whether the
maxim of the law, that no man should le put
.twice in jeopardy for the same cause, should
not give to this proceeding the effect of an ac
quittal. Experience has sanctioned this hu
mane maxim ; as the most innocent man may
not at all times, and after the rigours of long
confinement, and on repeated trials, be, able to
command the same testimony. At the same
time the court, however disposed to discharge
the nrisoner absolutely, his case being favour
ably represented to them, were yet unwilling to
set a precedent that might be .cited in a future
case, when the policy of the law might require
more strictness. The iiidges,therelbre, adopt
ed the prudent measure of recommending the
tirUnner to the eivernour for pardon, which
would onerate as a discharge, without the dan-
