      THE "BLOODY" TORIES ; Below , we give a "bloody ' artkle , from "The bloody old Times , " the property of Mr . Waitbb the Champion t new candidate for Souihwark . If anything was required to justify our hatred of the Tories , surely procf enough of their infernal character is here supplied . Let the leader mark the mffiaaisni of this bloodthirsty paragraph 1 The -ebjeci of the ^ writer is , evidently , to create , in the aninds of Go-renimeut , a Mnd of defensive feeling , &y which , to prove their own innocence , they may be induced to hang Pfiosr ,

      talked them over , and I now come to my reasons for splitting with the Whigs : and , mark , it was not so much from distrait in them , as the eontempt of the ! whole policy with which your words inspired me . j "After the acceptance of the Lords Corporate Reform , 11 was Bitting in the Westminster Club , you arrived i there , and 1 said , " ¦ Well , yo » have aoldxa aVlsst , you I are as mere a Whig as any of thea .

      TREASON . . At the present day , when so many confused ideas ou the subject of treason Beeia to be floating about , and when tho complimentary appellation of "traitor " is so liberallj bestowed , & few . 'remarks upon this most obicure of « rime 8 may be deserving of attentioa . ¦ ¦• .. . ' ' . ¦'¦¦ ¦ ¦ ¦' : " . ¦ ¦ " ; . ¦' ' ; ' - : . . : What ia treason ? This , thongh apparently a rimplo question , is , in truth , a difficult question to answer . In the first place , that deed , which , if it succeeded , would be called a glorious instance of patriotism , when it fails , is mostly denominated a seditious and treasonable attempt . Heuco the lines : — " Treason ne ' er prospers : what ' s the reason ? "Why when it prospers , 'tisn't treason . " TREASON . :.

      Probably if Bhutus had missed his aim , yrhen striking at the heart of Caesar , ho would have been executed as a traitor , and would have been so re ^ garded by a vaBt portion of posterity , instead of being Tevered as the prince of patriots . The second obstacle to a clear definition of this offeMce is presented in the fact , that its nature and qua'ities have changed as often aa the phases of the moon—the politics of the Ti ^ iea journal- ^ -the caprices of a woman—or the positions of a weathercock . It has generally been construed according to the whim

      and caprice of the monarch ; and thus depending upon bis temper , has been most severe under a cruel king—and has gradually softened under one of a milder disposition . Henrt VIII . made -it treason in any woman to marrjhim ; and the coining of a leaden groat was ' . ' -once made equivalent to the assassination of the King . Sometimes treasons have been created to fill tho Hoyal Exchequer , sometimes to lop off the troxtblttoma men , Bometimes to appease a clamour or gratify a mistress .

      It is of the utmost importance that the legal description of a erimo should be fixed and intelligible "If the crime of high treason b » indeterminate , this alone , " says Montesquib , "is sufficient to make any Government degenerate into arbitrary power . " According to our law-writers , treason is a breach of faith , affecting the King or Government ; but this is a most absurd explanation , leaving us as much in the dark as ever . It Beems generally to mean an offence threatening the existence of tho Monarch or of his immediate saccessor , or of the Government . We ourselves should defino treason to be an aggression on

      the best interests of the country ; the nature of the attack , and as to whether it rea'ly was against national interests to be determined by a jury of the offender ' s equahv This description would include offences by jvperiofs ~ vu rank , as well aa by inferiors . We may be told that treason is a breach of allegiance ; but we answer that protection is a reciprocal duty , and that Ihe violation of the latter tie far exceeds in heinousness of guilt that of the former , allegiance appertaining only to one , protection to millions , and that cousoqueatly the withdrawal of protection nullifies allegiance .

      Are we aaswered that treason is crimen lasa magestotis , or a crime to the insult of majesty i we roply that there is a majesty of the people , 3 s well as of the Crown , which stray fee equally : injured and equally insulted . Of this opinion were the English Judges when they executed Charles I . as a traiier to the nation ; of this opinion was the National Convention of Frmee Tvhen tiey guiJk > tined lAffm XVI . for treasonable offence * sgains * kis subjeets .

      whereupon he wished it , horn 3 and all , in the belly of him , who counselled the Iting . to kill it , and aa the king killed it of his own accord , or was his owu counsellor , it was held to be a treasonable wish against the king himself j!— Q Halo ' s Pleas of the Crown , 115 . ) These - were the palmy days of Monarchy , in . which the life of a subject was a bauble not considored - worthy of much consideration . It is now establ-ished , however , that words can only amount to -a misdemeanour , for during the reign of Ciu . Bi . Ea L ., on a reference to all the judges , concerning soma words spoken by ono Pine , they certified -to the king , " that though the woris were as wiched as might be , yet they were no treason : for uriloas it be bysonio particular 6 tatut 6 , no words will be treason . " ' ¦¦ -.

      \ V ' ritbgs were formerly heldtobe overt acts of treason , but this doctrine seems now to bo over-ruled , especially when they are riot published . In some arbitrary reigns ,: the mere committing to paper of one ' s ideas has convicted-the author of treason ; parr ticularly iu the cases of ono Pjsachum , a clergyman , for treasonable passages in a Bermon , never published ; ani the immortal Algernon Stdnbt for some papers in his closet . In the latter case

      the contents of the papers Wore' merely speculative ; there was no apparent intention of making public useof them , and they were even admitted in the place of of a witness against him , to make up the uumber of two witnesses , which are required by law ia cases of treason ! Of course the common reason of many icVolted at such injustice ., aad the convictions upon these grounds , met with general disapprobation . Psachum was therefore : pardoned ; and , -ihfjugh Stdset was executed , yet it was to the discontcms

      non-residence . One of the clerks in Chancery also glued together \ two pieces of parchment on the uppermost of which ho regularly obtained the Great Seal , the label going ^ through both the skina . He then dissolve ^ the eeiftent ; and taking off the written patent * on ; the blank « kin wrote ; a fresh patent , of a different import from the former , and published it a « true . This was decided not to be a couriterfeiting of the Great eal , but only : a great miaprision . :

      Tho offences named in the ; other clauses have since been : declared to be feloui « B , and ; not ; treason , as probably now would be decided ithe « rime in the last clause , whiolt is bnt a fbrgery . Though tbe naturei of the offence was thus described inth ; e 25 thErjwARD III ., yet the ^ Legislature was oxtremely liberal in framing ue ^ treasons in the reign of Bichabd II ; , when the bare purpose of killing or deposing tho King , without ahf overt

      act , was made treason . And yet , so futile , are cruel laws , that this very Monarch was both deposed and killed within two years after this enactment . ; In the first year of his successor's reign , ( 1 st Hewrt IV ., c . 10 , ) all these new-fangled treasons were swept away , by ordaining that only the statute of Edward III ., on this subject , should be of force . But front this time to the reign ot A ^ iRf , almost every thing was made treasonable , especially by the iniamousHBjmT VIII .

      Since that period , there haveboen great fluctuations With regard to this article of treason in the iegislative market ; an offence now rising to the value of bj gh treason , and now falling to the low price of , perhaps , a misdemeanour ; . On the wholei jt appears , at the present day , that any crime coming under the first , second ^ and third clauses of Stat . 25 th Edward ill ., c . 2 , would be held aa high treason .

      With regard to the mode of trial , a prisoner inicted or hiKh treason may hate a copy oi tbe indictment , and a list of all WitneiiseB , and of the jurors , delivered to him ten days before the trial . He must be tried by twolre ' hia peers or equals , whom he maj cbaHenge or object to ; ciallenges are oitlwr for cause abwn , or p « remptoty , that is wiOiftut giviBg any resiaon .
