I do not consider myself prodelent? to philisoph?? on the various points of law and adjust the same, but lessmuch? as the case was tried before the Circuit court and studiously argued by capable counsel, the points carefully explained to the jury but the Judge, and the jury, composed of good hones citizens, of impeachable character, after mature deliberation nd careful consideration of the merits and demerits of the case, returned a verdict of guilty of a misdemeanor, the celebrated case was ??ed. I, therefore, question the power of the FActs to absolve them from the verdict, and I ask in justice to the tax-payers, by what right the Aldermen resolve to vindicate themselves from the conviction for their previous actions, congratulating themselves on the elevation of the city to the Third-class as a means of escape from the wrath of an injured people. they, as servants, ought to have applied themselves as the law and their oaths required, to the protection of the interests of the people from any misappropriation of the public moneys. It is also a question in the minds of tax-payers, whether they are eligible to remain in office while indictments are still hanging over their heads, the Circuit Judge still having under consideration the request for an appeal from the verdict of the jury.
