Judge Wright. JuxE 18.—The People vs. Michael Cancemi.—Mr, Ash- mead, renior counsel for the prisoner, samme! up on the _ Part of the defence, and was followed by Attorney Gene- | ral Tremaice, who made the closing address to the jury fer we prosecution. |, The Judge, in charging the jury, commenced by saying “What be admired the patience and attention with which for ten jong days they bad listened to this investigation; but it | was their duty to do so. The crime charged is marder ;to the Priecter it involves the issne of life and death, whilst on ‘the o\ber band ia, perbaps the equaily important issue, ‘whether in this city, teeming with an immense mixed pop- ‘Wlation baving but I'ttle security of person and property beyond what the law throws around them— law and padlic Justice are to be vindicated. Thoagh a murder may hav eecurred, the law isnot to be administered with vindictive- © mete; no ove Is to be sacrificed through passion or preju- ice, por is justice to fail by reason thereof. Every per- von accused of crime is entitled to » fair and impartial tial, aod ia notte be condemned unless a jury of the eountry be eatisfied from the evidence, beyond a reasona- | dle dondt, of the guilt of the accused; but when the jury jare thus satisfied, no sympathy or prejudice or favor _sbou'd intervene to prevent a stern discharge of duly.

Now, gentiemen, it may be important that I shoulo say a few words to you in respect to the charas- der ot the evitence. In the aamoiatration of the crimi w courts and juries are driven aecovearily to rety iy upon the testimony of others. Trath is to be shened throug ibe medium of human evidence Tais avlcenee ie of two kinds, direct or positive, and iairest or sircomstactial, Itie direct when the witaees testifies to daring seen & blow intlcted or @ oistol fire”, ead identides ibe person infil ctwg the dlow or firing the pistol. Ta such sase, if toe witness ve fully accredited, toere is direct voroot of the fact. Indirect or circumatantia! evidence is ‘ibe presentation of ap array of He ies from which a jary msy pataraliy and rationa'y infef the existence of ine jmein fact sought to be established. Thus, ifaman be stebbed in the street by another (00 ove sesing the blow afieted) apd the person stabbing ip seen to leave the wounded man, is pursued. and taken with a blooly weapon wp bis possession, though there be no direct evideoce that the wound was inflicted by such person, yet from wbe aitending circumstances it might be ratioa- wily inferred, The circumstances and facts must sot enly be consistent with the accused having wmmited the act, but the jury mast aleo de eatished wba: tbe facts are suco as to be iaconsistent with any vper rational conclusion than that the accused was the ymity person Woon a combinauon of circumstances are folted 00, they must be cotucident, consistent and tend anit dy to cetadiish the mein proposition. If any one of ‘be facts linked im the chain, which together ports to be guilt of the acoused, be cousisteat with iaaoence or ocorsistent with guilt,’ the whole becomes unreiiadle, [he concuct and acts of ® person charged witn crime pay be ehowa, #01 if such conduct or acw bo incons! ent with fpocence, and point directly avd rationally be guilt of the acoused, the jury may rightfully ufor sash sO if satiefed o the truth of the (acts proved.

Toe move- ment bad indeed commenced, aod shortly increased till the entire poople of the northern settioments were In m>- ticn.

Tae quality of ‘Weir fare is alowe matter of complaint with the troops Governor Cumming has taken ¢ffictent steps to remedy all inconvenience and preclude the poeaioility of suffering in the army from thia source. About twenty miles west of Platt Bridge Colonel K met the supply train of Colonel Hoffman, and also the United ar Commissioners, for whose arrival Colonel Jounston hitherto been reported as waiting. ‘Tho ure of the Mormons appears to be conosived by their fore, and by thove in the American camp, as probably the best course feasible, The coolness, address aod firmuees of Governor Onmming io secariag the adop tion of this alterrative to war are strongly attested by the eye Witnesses of bie confnet.

Well, the astion of the American aad British Muwters played the mechief wih the movements of tne government.

ORIGIN OF THE HATRED AGAINST HLM. Tho origin and commencement of the eamity and ant mosity oi which J bave beeo made a victim is to be traced asd dated from the time when first the Mexioin pation bonored and distinguished me by their oon sence ard by the honors showered down upon me for my pab- le services; for from my earlicat youth I have most faunsoly served my country, beginning fron the day when I inscribed my name among the priocisal tousders: o! Mexican independence, in the ever memorable year of 1821. From this period are to be dated the porseveria; éfforts of my enemies and oppor ente to uilerepresent ana disfgureall these actions of mine wbich do me most nonor. In Weir comity against me they have re'ased even to acknowledge the self depiat and patriotism which | dis played in the cays of the deepest trial aod eutlorieg of my country. They bave carried their animority aga net me to such a pited as to be guilty of almost insredible folly and puerility in their conduct. They have erased my pate from s¢veral buildings where it had been iaseribed ; they bi Temoved the statues of me trom the pub ic places in which they bad been get 0 by the will of the poo. pie or by my friends; they have burnt all the oortraits and i of me which they could lay their baads on; aod the most remarkable of ail, in these incredible puo ot which they bave been guil y, they have even left 6 anual celebration of the 1th of September, thoagh it was ordered to be kept by law, because, fersootn , they. wanted to prevent my pame from being mentioned. On other occasions their hatred has been evidenced in the overflowin, of the most savage cruelty, They have pi ed the sacred piace where a mombor of my body was deposited, which member I lost while fighting courageously in de’ence of my coun- try, im order that they might dewwoy i. Thoy have even gone so far as w wo my friends and those who were under any obiigations to me, violat- ing their places of retirement, and burnieg up all thelr property which they could lay thetr hands on, when thay could not find the persons wor to destroy them They have outraged avd insulted me, by fixing upon mo the oftralior for my conduct at a time whee [ drew ther ermics—-when I was expending my own es for the benefit of my country, in order w support and equip poldiers. Yes, even at the time when | was struggling dgainst the invaders of my country; when tho horse on which | was mounted lay stretebed deal on the field of battie; whea my clothes were pierced through and through with bulie's; when my hove ‘were set on fire and destroyed—then, even they branded me with che name of traitor, be gud resolutely retused to acquiesce tn the celebr treaty of peace which I doomed to be noth dishonorable Abd prejudicial to the country. ihey bave stripped me of My property without having any respect for rights which beiong to me a5 % man and as a without having any regard for the claims of ny children Broperty rightfnily belongs. In a wore, bey want even to deprive me of the privilege of breathing ‘he’air of my country, which it would be offensive and displeasing to them that I should ever inhale. But even pow. after 60 many insuita and injuries committed against me, they are not yet satisfied. They continue to pursue the same cowardly and infamous Course of misrepresent ing and falsitytog my condect, and of depreciating all tho great deeds I have done, in order if porsibie to Leap dis gface end disbonor upon me. Ihave never been guilty of the presumption of looking upon myself as being perfect: on tbe contrary, I have always confessed my own insuitloiency tor diesharging the duties of chief magistrate of the csantry. My educa- tion bas been altogether a military education, and thaee | years which | might have been able to devote w toe study and evitivation of literature and ecience, { have been obliged to paas in military qearters and in the labors and | dangers of caropaigos =| am far therefore from maintain jog that Jam oe im everything | am haman, and ue doubt have mn into errors. But those errors have rever owed their orizin to malicious intention, nor are they such as cam be inade to oatweigh the weight of a whole ite consecrated to the service of my country. Alas |—I am obliged to repeat it!—batred, eney and joaloury are paesions which never can be extinguished, and therefore it will not be at all surpristog that thoy should centumue to ute me even Leyond the grave ‘Tho obligation whieh i# imposed upon pabiic men in view of their fellow citizens, ooxpla'n, or at least give sn account of their conduct and to watch over their honor, is what at this moment impels me to take up my pen to perform this daty on my part in respext to what Concerns my last adrainistration of the government. I shall, iborefore, in a s'mple narrative, give an account of allmy actions and of ati my deods, ench as they realty were, without any unworthy aim or object in viow, being quite sure of this, that the fiselity of trath aad | - ality @ill not resalt in anything unfavorable to me.
