But the indignation which every law abiding citizen must necessarily teel at the cmniiMoii of an offen.-e of .uth m. irked ntroctcy, hln.uld not be allow ed to influence the judgment of jurors in considering the cjuestion, whether the defend nt is puiltv of a participation in the crime It was a rule of the civil law, by which the courts in ma'iy European countries are con trolled, that a iri n clurjied with a crimeof re it magnitude might be convicted upon slight r evidence than woulo be teiptiied lor a couviction of an offense of a le ser cra le. This rule is loun-:ed uiion principles which conflict with sound polier and the rlainest prin ciples of humaiiitv. It haa never been iicknowledetl as a principle of the common law, mid i not tecopiized by the courts of England or ol the United States Oil ihe c )titrarv the rule is well settled in thicountrv that a higher decree of evidence shall be required to iu-tify the cotiriction ol a person charged with a crime of great magnitude, than wdl authorize the conviction of one charged with a minor offene. If adefendent is put upon iria upon an indictment for an offense, the couviction of which would torfeit his life or his liberty, the convictions of the jutv of his cuilt should be rnon clear and certain than would be required in a ca-e in which the penalty would be merely a uonvnal fine. It js imnortant to bear in mim' the distinction between the conspiracy alleged in me indictment and the acts bv winch it was earned intoetlecl The detendent in this cie is not indicted for the acts of violence which were perpetrated at Sdl'ii hou-e The o flense with which he i charged consists in an agreementeither expressed or implied between hirn-clf and others to comni'i tlne acts. If the evioence proves ih it he en tered into an .icreement with one or more person to legist bv force the execution of the law. he would be fftnlty of the offense charged nlthouh the forcible resistance to the execution ol the law had not been made.

Aiinouuh trie iiemno ant can uot be conictel under this indictment for the unlawful assemblage and the Illegal acta of violence which were perpetrated at Sill's house, for the reason that those acts constituted offense of a differeut character, to wit: That ol obstructing an ofti . er ot the L luteal btate ;ti the execution of a duty in relation to the coiiscrip tion law. as it is usucllv termed; still a psrtu-i pctiou iu those acts would fullv justi'v the infer ence that he wk acting under a ruutual aj:rcenieijt to commit them her. a number ol per sons as.-enible together to commit an unlawful act, and tbey act in concei t in such a manner as tocieitelhe be.ief th it ihev are animated bv a common purp e ti elTect a common object,' the agreement to commit euch act would be very propei lr im; lied, and the evidence of a con-pira cv to effect such common object would be huffi cient to warrant a conviction. In this view of the case, the question whether the defendant was present at the time the outrage was jrpetrateii at Sill's house, and whether he was aiding and assisting to cotisumate the object of the assemblage, become a very important one You should then carefully examine the evidence beiring upon this point, as upon your de teimniti.n of t'i s question the decision of the wl ole case may ticpond.
