look upon with little respect or value, have
equalled, if not far exceeded us. This is
'the peculiar and appropriate glory of Eng

that foundation of common liberty, w briber

consider as the only true Englishman.—
Those who depart from it, either here or

Tile two English States, on both tides of

polar interests and passions expose all

intercourse is perhaps still more endanger

lishment of liherty in a great empire. To
her belongs the moral discovery of Habeas

presentation and a free press. These insti
tutions she sent forth with her colonies into
ih* wdderness. Uy these institutions they

.1 liu 1 laiiiilton was executed in Ken
lucky a few years since (1G17,) for the
murder of Doctor Sanderson, of Natch' z,
Mississippi. A man has f. cently lieon ex
ecuted in Mobile, who confessed himself
the murderer of Hamilton, and declared
that Sanderson was innocent.

u| a molt extraordinary and distressing
character than this, and it should he uni
versally em ulated, that judges and jurors
may buguaidr.il against Condemning snp
pe»ed culprits on circumstantial evidence.
ouiig Hamilton through life had support
ed au unblemished character, and obtained
the love, esteem and admiration of all who
had the pleasure of liis acquaintance. As
i- eonimoii with the young gentlemen of
K-ulucky, lie was in the practice of spend
ing the winter season in the more genial
climate of .Hit issippi. On his return from
a w inter residence in that quarter, he ac
cidentally fell in company with Doctor
.Sanderson, who being in ill health, was
journeying to the celebrated watering
place r.t ilarrodsbtirg Spa, with hope of
recovering his lust health, ac.d as he was
anxious to make something out of his pil-1
grimage, he took with him a large sum of
money, with which he contemplated pur
chasing negroes on speculation. On his
way up the country, his infirmities in
creased, and as lie was apprehensive lie
might expire on the road, lie committed
to the charge of Hamilton his treasure,
having in his short acquaintance discovei*
ed that he was worthy of uiilimitcd confi
dence. In a few days, however, his indis
position abated, when he pursued his jour
ney, and finally arrived in safety at the re
sidence of Hamilton, in Barren comity,
Ky. where lie remained during the son
mer, and removed from his young friend
every mark of courtesy, attention and hos
pitality. In the month of October, Doc
tor Sanderson made arrangements to de
part, and on taking leave of his hospitable
iiost, young Hamilton accompanied him
I several miles on the road, and then took
j an alleetioiiatc farewell. Ten or twelve
days after, as some hunters were rambling
through the forest, they discovered the
body of Doctor Sanderson in a slate of
corruption, shot in several places, and
mangled in the most shocking manner.—
As Hamilton was last seen with him, and
it was known that, he had from time to
time, made use of sums of money, origin
I ally the property of Sanderson, suspicion
j fell on his head, and he was arrested, tried
and executed.
Previous to his arrest, He was advised to
leave the country, to avoid danger, but as
he was conscious of his innocence, hr dis
damn! to take a step which would cast a j
cloud of obloquy and disgrace upon his
character, and resolutely remained at
home. As the inhabitants of the county
were divided in their opinions as to his
guilt, the a flair gradually died away; hut I
Hamilton being anxious that a trial should
take place, firmly believing that in such I
an event, his reputation would remain un-!
spotted, he solicited at the hands of justice
a trial, which to his astonishment and sor
row closed with his condemnation. The
only evidence against him was circumstan
tial, vis. that near Hie body of Sanderson
were found a bloody pair of pantaloons,
and a pistol both bearing the names of
Hamilton. Through the whole of the tri
al he manifested that fortitude and deter
mined ce»lne»s, characteristic^ of iuaoj
ei-nre and expired with a full cotixictioti
fli.it the n-.il murderer would be ultimately
discovered. When on file scaffold he took
a manly leave of the world, expressed not
the least regret for his l'..te. but lamented
that his misfortunes would cloud the pros
pects of hi. family, and shed an indelible
disgrace on h:s memory. Thus through
the weakness of the laws, was an interes
ting young tnun and a worthy citizen hur
ried from the world, and doomed to expi
re ini I he gallows, that crime, committed j
hy the hands of a v illain and assassin.—It
may he pauper for the welfare of the world,
to pass sentence on the. authority ot cir
cumstantial evidence, hut it would he far
better, by statute, to annul the practice
and it w as the opinion of lord Hale, that it
were better to suffer ninety guilty-nine
persons to escape, than to punish, unjustly,
one that is innocent.
