The witnesses in the case of the Common wealth va. Hazlitt were then sent up, and an indictment of the same character was re turned by the grand jury.

To our judgmeut it appears a distinction entirely without a d ifference. Pennington'* votes for Sherman are sufficient proof, if any were want ed, of his bitter hostility to the South and her institutions.
