You remember, too, that the action we then contemplated was withheld by reason of the ercuses and explanations of Lis tr tends. These excuses and explanations mi.uced me to tteiieve tiiat Mr. Stone's reten tion would insure a faithful performance of official duty; and that whatever offensive artisi-nship he had deemed justifiable in other circumstances, he would during his continuance in office at his request, unuer an administration opposed to him in political creed and policy, content himself with a quiet and uuobtrusive enjoyment of his po litical pi ivuVges. 1 ertaii:iy suoixjsei ttiat his-sene ot propriety would V.-ui-v h;m to re frain from pursuing sucha partem -ourscas would wantonly offend and n n:;i i he f ricn is of ttie ctlunnistration who that he should ni l.e retaineil m t-i'i , ,ih. r te cause t,f his feraoual merit vr t.i a.ihercntv to the metbtkls wbichfora ,.;ng tune had prevailed in the di.stribuu.tu oi lederal t)lficvs. In the liht of a better system, and w ith out considering his poetical attiua uons, Mr. Stone, when "ernutTe-i to reman; in ottice, became a part of the bu-int-s orgamKiiLupn of the present administration. iund bv every obligation oi hoiw.r toa-sisL THiisu his sphere in its su --cessful operation.

There is no dispute whatever concerning the fact that Mr Stone did join others who were campaigning the state of TennsyJvania in opposition to the attminis tration. It appears, too, that he was active and prominent with noisy enthusiasm in at tendance ujon at least two targe public meet ings; that the sK?echeiat such meetings were largely dev. -ted to the abuse and misrepre sentation ut the administration; that he approved a'l tins and actually ad dressed tie meetings himself in" some what the same strun; that he a' ten ted such meetings away from his home (or the purpose of making such address; and that he was advertised as one of the si makers at each of said meeting f shall aovpt as true the statement of Mr. Stone thit the time spent by him in thus demonstxatru his wili iugness U bold a profitable t -llice at tlte bands of an a .ministration winch he en deavored to disiTedit with the p -ole, and which had kindly overlooked h.s previous offrtnses, did not resurt in the negjtit of or dinary olhcial duty.

At 10 o'clock Messrs. Swett and Black made their way to Judge Scott's room.

Mr. Swett was prepared for this contin gency, and at once produced a draft of the order to he made of record. Judge Scott examined the document and, ap proving its phraseology, indorsed the rec ord as follows: After inspecting the foregoing manu script of the record, the undersigned, one of the justices of the supreme court of the state, is of the opinion that there is reasonable ground for granting the writ of error applied for in the cause.
