But it is a fact that Whig party of a score or more years existence was, at the North, mainly swallowed up in Republicanism in 1856 and '60 and disappeared as such from the face of the earth.

ts death put all power in the hands of the party which brought upon the country the issues which terminated in war. The writer of this had been a Whig, and felt the keen pang of mortification at beholding that powerful organization, in which he had put so much faith, melt away, like snow before the sun, and pass into the creeks and the rivers and the subterranean streams. It went down in the great flood, like a big ship, leaving nothing visible but the top, of its tall masts. Yes, and Washington Hunt, with a few personal friends, climbed up there and cried out to the storm for help; but they were considered crazy and were not heeded. The voice of this "last man" finally died away, and he, of course, was to be considered politically dead. Supposing that had the Whig party remained firm, the war might have been, at least, postponed, the regret at its fate was all the more poignant. To enter more particularly into the discussion may be a matter of complacency with our contempora

n who brought in the money had been in his shop two or three times since. He thought he was engaged in some sort of business here, but could not tell his name. This closed the evidence for the defence, and the Mayor then asked the prisoner's counsel if they had any remarks to make. They replied that they were willing to rest the case upon the evidence, and had no argument to offer here. The Mayor decided to remand the accused for further examination before the Hustings Court, in January next, on a charge of felony. Mr. Crane then made an appeal to his Honor to bail the prisoner. He knew it was not a bailable case, but he made the application on the score of humanity, as the father of the prisoner was then lying at the point of death. The Mayor, on this ground solely, admitted Knuckles to bail in the sum of five hundred dollars for his appearance, which he readily gave, and left the court-room in company with his friends. The witnesses were also recognized to ap

The testimony for the Commonwealth having been concluded, Mr. Crane, for the defence, said that he did not propose to deny that the money offered for sale by Knuckles at the banking-house of Isaacs & Co. was the property of Mr. Weith; but he had testimony to offer in regard to the manner in which it came into his possession, and also as to his whereabouts on the night of the robbery. The following testimony was then given for the defence: Mrs. Goodwin, a female of large proportions, stated that she kept a bar-room in Baker's alley, and that Knuckles boarded with her. On the night when the robbery was committed she could swear that he was in the house all night; that he went to bed about half-past 8 o'clock, and did not get up until after 9 o'clock the next morning. He could not have passed out of the house without waking her up, nor could he have gone out the rear way, on account of a terrible dog, which it would have been dangerous t

nks in Louisiana and Alabama, which could be easily identified, he furnished a description of them. It was his custom to take a list of his notes every night. The next morning, on going to the banking-house of Messrs. William B. Isaacs & Co., Mr. Taylor was in the act of examining some Louisiana notes offered for sale by the prisoner, which, on being shown to him, he identified one of the notes as one that had been stolen from him. The prisoner was detained while he could go for an officer. He afterwards left the house, and was pursued down Main street to Seventeenth, with great cries of "catch the thief"; and as he was crossing the canal bridge he was stopped by two men and taken into custody. Mr. Taylor testified that on Tuesday morning, on his arrival at his place of business, (Messrs. Isaacs & Co.'s,) he heard of the robbery of Mr. Weith. Soon after this, the prisoner came in and offered for sale some money of a description like that lost by Mr. Weith. --While examining th

that the money was his, he went in search of an officer, and while he was absent, Knuckles, the accused, seemed very impatient, repeatedly telling witness to hurry up, as he wanted to go away. Witness delayed him for some moments, keeping his eye upon him. The prisoner finally started towards the door, when he met Mr. Weith, and the two exchanged a few words, after which the prisoner started to run, and was followed down the street by Mr. Weith. Dr. Shepherd, of the firm of Shepherd & Cohen, was notified of the robbery on Tuesday morning; and shortly afterwards, while sitting in his office, he heard the cry of "stop thief," and going to the door, saw the accused pursued by Weith, and he was afterwards arrested. When Mr. Weith reported the robbery at his office, he described as among the notes one very similar to that which was afterwards offered for sale at the banking-house of Messrs. Isaacs & Co., and which Mr. Weith claimed as his own. A witness testified that he sold

He could not have passed out of the house without waking her up, nor could he have gone out the rear way, on account of a terrible dog, which it would have been dangerous to encounter. James Smith, a youth, testified that, on Monday morning, about 9 o'clock, he was in Ferguson's barber shop, when Knuckless came in. Knew him slightly and spoke to him. Shortly afterwards, while Knuckles was getting his hair dressed, a stranger came in ande in with the money passed out of the shop. They did not seem to be well acquainted with each other. Arthur W. Ferguson, a young man of mixed blood, son of Ferguson the barber, and employed in the shop, testified to nearly the same facts as Smith. While he was engaged in shaving Knuckles, a man, whose name he did not know, came in, and accosting Knuckles familiarly as "Pres, " asked him if he could not sell some money for him. Knuckles did not seem to recognize him, but afterwards entere
