It doubtless wilh be said by the = sioned advocates of this rebellion, that Hyams, who testifies as to the latter poiat being infamous, is not to be believed. It is admitted that he is in’amons, as it must be conceded that amy man is infamous who either partieipates in such & crime or attempts in anywise to extennate it. But it will be ob- served that Hyams is supported by the testi- mony of Mr. Sasford Conover, who heard Biackburn and the other rebe¥agents in Canada speak of this inferaal project, and by the testie mony of Mr. Wall, the well-known auctioneer of this city, whose eharacter is unquestioned, that be received this smpoleton of pestilence, (of course without any knowledge of the pur- oee,) and that Hyarts consigned the goods to im in the name of J.

Itie mot probable thata men in hie pesition on life would be abie to buy five trunks of clothing, smip them all the way from Halifax to Washington, and then order them. to be sold at auction, without regard to price, solely upon his own account. [tis » matter of' notoriety; tbat & pastof his statement is veri— fled by the results at Newbern, North Waroli-- na, to which point, he says, a portion of the- mfected goods were shipped, through a sutler; the resnit of which was, that nearby 2,000 citi- zens and soldiers died there about that time with the yellow fever. That the rebel chief, Jefferson Davis, sanc- tloned these crimes, committed and attempted thrangh the instrumentality of his accredited agents in Canada—Thompson, Olay, Tacker, Sanders, &c.,upon the persons and property of the people of the North, there is positive Froof on your record. The letter brougat from Richmona, and taken from the archives of his late pretended government there, dated Fep-; Tuary 1}, 1565, and addressed to him by a late rebel senator from Texas, W.S. Oloham, shows by its endoreement in Davis’s handwriting that he ouly wanted to be satisfied that this. system of arson and Murder could be carried on by his agents in the norh successfally and without detection. With him it was not a crime to do: those acts, but only, a crime to be detected.in them, The intercepted letter of nis agent, Serpe, a.

W.‘Alstén addresses *a letter Low before the Poy coatains the following words :— i r OfeF you Pax.ceryines, ong tt mon, will favor me in my designs, I will pi AE EOON, Remy health will permit, to'rid.myoountry of some of her deadliest sam by ‘heart's blood of those who proposition to | profound silence, and the prisoners giving clese | cunspiracy, witnont réegArd to the question ! > baw jae and his associates, such persone inthe North as he deemed the ‘‘desdliest enemies” of the rebellion? The weakness of the man who fora moment can donut that such was the pr ition of the writer of this letter is certai an t of commuseration. What had Jefferson ‘vis to to this proposed assacr ination of the * de: tenemies” in the North of his great treason? Did the atrocious suggestion kindle in him pactenstion against the villain who offered, with his own hand, to strike the blow? Notatall. Onthe contrary, he ordered his private secretary on the 29th of November, 1861, to endorse upon the letter these words :— Lieut. W. Alston accompanied raid into Kentucky, and was captured, but es- caped into Canada, from whence he found his way back. Now offers his services to rid the country of some of its deadliest enemies, asks for papers,&c. Respectfully referred, by di- rection of the President, to the honorable Sec- retary of War.” In the despatch of the 13th of October, which was born+ by Montgomery, and transmitted to Richmend in October Isst, you will find these words: «“Qur friends shall be immediately set to work as you direct.” Mr. Lincoln is the subject of that despatch. Davis ts therein no- tified that his agents in Uanada look upon the re-election ot Mr. Lincolnin November as ale most certain. In thisconnexion he is assured by those agents, that the triends of their cause are to be set to work as Davis had directed. The conversations which are proved by wit- | nesses, whose character stands unimpeacned, disclose what ‘-work” the “friends” were to do under the d‘rection of Davie himself. Who were these “friends,” and what was the “work” which his agents, Thompson, Olay, Tucker and Sanders had been directed te set them at? Let Thompson answer for himselt. In a conversation with Richard Montgomery | in the summer of 1-61, Thompson said that ‘he had his friends, confederates, all over the northern States who were ready and willing to goany lengths for the good of the cause of the south, and he could at any time have the tyrapvt Lincoln or any other of his advisers that he chcse, put out of his way; that they would not consider it a crime when done for the cause of the Confederacy.’ This conver- sation was repeated by the witness in the sum mer of 1564 to Clement C. Clay, who immedi- ately stated: ‘That is so, we are all devoted to our cause and ready to go any length—to do anything under the sun.” At and about the time tbat these declarations of Clay and Thoinpson were made Alston. who made the proposition as we have seen, to Da- vis, to be furnished with the papers to go north and rid the Gontederacy of some of its «-dead- liest enemies,” was in Canada. He waa doubt- lezs one of the ‘friends’ referred to. As ap- pears by the testimony of Montgomery, Payne, the prisoner at your bar, was about that teme, 1m Canada, and was seen standing by Thomp- son’s door, engaged in & conversation with Clay, between whom and the witness some Worcs were interchanged, when Clay stated be{ Payne) was one of thei riends—‘wetrust him.’ Itis proved beyond a shadow ot doubt that in October last John Wilkes Booth, the as- sasin of the President, was aiss iu Canada and upon intumate terms with Inempson. Clay, Sanders, and other rebel agents. Who can doubt in the lightof the events which have since transpired, that he was one of the “‘$riends” to be “set to work,” as Davis had al- ready directed—not, perhaps, as yet to assassi- nate the President, but to that other work which is suggested in the letter of Oldham, in- dore*d by Davis in his own hand, and spread upon your record—the work of the secret in- cendiary, which was to ‘ fill the people of the north with terror and consternation.” The other “work” spoker of by Thompson— putting the tyrant Lincoln and any of his advisers cut of the way, was work doubtless to be commenced only after the re-election of Mr. Lincoln, which they had aiready declared in their dispatch to their employer, Davis, was with them a foregone conclusion. At all events, it was not natil after the presidential election ia November that Alston proposed to Davis to go North on the work of assassination, nor was it until after that election that Booth was found in possession of the letter which is evidence, and which discloses the purpose to assassinate the President. Being assured, how- ever, when Booth was with them in Canada, as they had already declared in their dispacch, that the re-election of Mr: Lincoln was certain, in which event there would be no hope for the confederacy, they doubtiess entered into the arrapgement with Booth as one of their “Irtends,” that as soon as that facts was deter- mined he should go «to work,” and as soon as might be ‘rid the contederacy of the tyrant Lincoln and of his advisers.” Judge Bingham proceeded to recapitulate the evidence of various witnesses to show the complicity of Davis in the conspiracy, and eaid that there was one item of testimony that ought, among honest and intelligent people at all conversant with this evidence, to.gad all further inquiry as to whether Jefferson ‘Davis was one of the parties. This was his words on the reception of the dispatch from Breckin- ridge announeing the assassination of Presi- dent Lincoln. His words of intense hate, and Tage, and disappointment are not to be over- looked—that the uesassins had uot done their ork well: thatthey had not succeeded in rob- ing the people altogether of the constitutional executive and his aavisers; and hence he ex- claims, “If they had killed Andy Johnson, the beast!” Neither can he conceal bis chagrin and disappointment thatthe war minister of the republic, whose enesgy, incorruptible in- tegrity, sleepless vigilance, and executive ability bad organized day by day, month by ionth, and year by year, victory for our arms, had escaped the knife of the hired assassi: The job, says this procure rof assassinatic.., ‘was not well done; it had been betier if it had been well done! Because Abraham Lincoin had been clesr in his great office, and had saved the nation’s life by enforcing the nation’s laws, this traitor declares he must be mur. dered; because Mr. Seward, as the foreign sec- retary of the country, had thwarted the pur- Poses of treason to plunge his evuatry intoa ‘war with England, he must be murdered: be- cause, upon the murder of Mr. Lincoln. An- drew Jobnson wouid sneceed to the Presi- dency, @ad because he had been true to the Constitution and Government, faithful found among the faithless of his own State, clinging to the falling pillars of the republic when others had fied, he must be murdered; and be- cause the Secretary of War had taken care, by the taithful discbargeof his duties, that the republic should live and not die. he must be murdered. Inasmuch as these two faithfal cfficers were net also assassinated, assuming that the Secretary of State was mortally wounded, Davis conld not conceal his disap- pointment aud chagrin that the work was not ‘well done,” that «the job was not complete "" Thus itappears by the testimony, that the proposition made to Davis was to killand murder the deadliest enemies of the Coufeder- acy—not to kidnap them, as is now pretended here; that by the declaration of Sanders, Tucker, Thompson, Clay, Cleary, Harper and Young, the conspirators in Canada. the agree- Ment and combination among them was to-kill and murder Abraham Lincoln, William H Seward, Andrew Johnson, Ulysses S. Grant, Edwin M, Stanjon, aud otters of his advisors, and not to kidnap them; it appears from every ntteravee of John Wilkes Pootn, as wellas from the Charles Selby letter, that as early as November, the preposition with him was to kill and murder, not to kidnap. Jacge Bingham here referred to theevidence elicited yesterday, cf the attempt of the con- |. #p:rators in Canada to coerce the Gevernment , witness, Conover, and said such infamous pro- ceeding, coupled with the evidence before de- tailed, stamps these ruffian plotters with the guilt of this conspiracy.
