This Iast'dose did not operate. The prisoner men auminisverea peari-asn inised witn water, and afterward repeated his emet ick potions. . Tlie deceased appeared to be in reat distress,' and said lie was dy- inir. The nrisoner then asked hinv how w i , far the medicine had jrot dawn. The de ceased laying his hand on his breast, an swered here ; on which the prisoner' ob served that the medicine would soon get down ; and unscrew his havel ; meaning, as was supposed by the hearers, that it would operate as a cathartick. Between nine and ten o'clock .in the -evening, the deceased lost his reason, and was seized with convulsion fits ; two men being re quired to hold him in bed. After he was thus seized with convulsions the prison er gat down his throat one or two doses more of hisemetir k powders; and remark ed to the father of the deceased, that his son had got the hyps like the devil, but that his medicines would fetch him down; meaning as the witness understood, that it would compose him. The next morning the regular physi cians of the town were sent for ; but the patient was so completely exhausted, that no relief cauld be given. The convulsi ons and the loss of reason continued; with some intervals, until Tuesday even ing ; when the deceased expired. 44 From the evidence it -appeared that the coJft& administered was a decoction of marsh-rosemary, mixed with the bark no adequate remedy by a ".criminal prose cution, witlijttttlfeinterference of thede- gisiature, if the quack, however weak and iniii.!.,t.,:-..'v L .1...1J - ' 1 L ' 1L icumji.uuu3, Miomu prescnoe iwiwJ no nest intentions and expectations reliev ing the patent" . ;: , j It may be necessary to remind Our rea ders that the preceding quo?ations,are all from Tyng's Massachusetts Term Reports, vol. vi, page 154, &c. a work of unques tionable autlioiif y. nifest to every reader of the foreyoinsr- that this Lobelia, oHfhdian.Tobacco, so macii -relied on by Thompson in his prac tice." and the discovery of which he ab surdly claims as his own, is reallyjiot the most harmless and inoffensive thing in the world ; and that, if it he not indeed a poisonous plant, it will be somewhat dif ficult to point . out one 'that is.

Stripped of the sophis tical argumentation in which tlris doctrine has been habited, its naked nature is ti efiort to organize insurrection against the laws of the United States : to internose the arm of State sovereignty between re-; hellion and the halter, and to rescue the traitor from the gibbet.
