Hudson, (N. Y.) July 19.

At the Circuit Court lately held in this county, one of the indictments against Harry Crowell, editor of "the Wasp," for a libel on the President of the United States, was brought to trial. After a very lengthy and impartial hearing, Crowell was convicted: judgment will be passed against him at the next term of the Supreme Court, which will be held on the first Monday in August next. The libel charged Mr. Jefferson with having "paid Callender for calling Washington a traitor, a robber and perjurer; for calling Adams a hoary headed incendiary; and for most grossly slandering the private characters of men who he (Mr. Jefferson) well knew to be virtuous."

It ought to be recollected that "the Wasp" was erected for the express purpose of becoming a receptacle for all manner of publications calculated to wound the feelings and to degrade its political enemies. We thank God that a vehicle of such pernicious has been arrested in its foul career. Should it be found necessary, we shall hold it our duty to enter more at large upon this subject. We repeat it, Crowell had a fair and an impartial trial. The jury who found him guilty was drawn by lot, and was composed of men of both the political parties. He had the assistance of a multitude of counsel. Some of whom are gentlemen of celebrity in their profession.
