ation of her father, she had deeply imbibed the principles of the Girondist, and believed that their overthrow would certainly produce the destruction of the sanguinary triumvirate, (Marat, Danton, Robespierre,) who were at that time overwhelming France with blood. But when she saw the citizens of the department of Cash enrolling to march to the defence of the Convention, she saw that there was no hope in the people, and she conceived the singular design of freeing the world of that monstrous tyrant, who had declared that 300,000 heads must fall before liberty could be safe in France. She went to Paris without the knowledge of her father — obtained admission to Marat — pretended to be a violent Jacobin — presented to him a list of several thousand who had been concerned in the late insurrection against the Convention — and, with out difficulty obtained from him a promise that every man of them should be sent to the guillotine.

But history ought, in all cases where it is possible, to be enunciated with the utmost distinctness. We, therefore,--in obedience to what we consider a maxim that never should be departed from — give a succinct history of the trial and execution of Charlotte Corday. It is one of the most affecting incidents in all history. Charlotte was a native of St. Saturnine in the department of the Orme. She had received, under the superintendence of her father, a classical education — had become deeply imbued with the spirit of the ancient writers — and was in the habit of assimilating certain periods of ancient history to the scenes and events that were passing immediately before her eyes. In imitation of her father, she had deeply imbibed the principles of the Girondist, and believed that their overthrow would certainly pro

Charge to Corday. We find that in our article respecting John Morgan yesterday, we did not state the circumstances attending the death of Charlotte Corday with historical exactness. Our only object was to impress the public as strongly as we could with the distinction between guilt and punishment — to show that the most sublime patriot, if thrown by misfortune into the hands of a malignant enemy, might be made to suffer the penalty of a common felony — that, therefore, the only proper rule in such cases — and that a rule which had been adopted by the instinctive discretion of ages — was to affix to guilt itself the brand of disgrace, and to leave to innocence its own vindication at its own proper time.

letters from her bosom and presented them to the Court. Two of them were directed to Barbarous, and related entirely to her adventures from the time of her leaving home. The third was directed to her father. In it she took a solemn farewell of him — spoke with the utmost simplicity of what she had done — begged him not to suppose that she could be affected by the criminal's doeth that awaited her — said that she had ty of nothing for which he need blush — and concluded with the line of Corneille, which we had by mistake supposed she spoke on the scaffold: "Cest la crime qui fait la brute, et nou pasil'schaf fand." She was not insulted by the mob on the way to the guillotine. On the contrary, she was the only victim of those bloody times who was not thus insulted. It is true that the women who were called the "Furies of the Guillotine" had been assembled at the door of the prison for the purpose of insulting her; but when the door was thrown open, and, instead of
