whole eonntry has been alarmed by
the cry of "Fire! Fire! Fire!"—the

But is there not truth in the adage
"where there is much 80/131(e there

people, who havt haul left, under our
guardianship a great treasure, to
shut our eve-. lock up our minds, aril
trust to the sialit and apprehension of
others in th ilestharge of our solemn

Unjust Sentences
.. In the daily Age of the 21st iti , t.
Under the caption Lanitt. INTEI.I.I.
°INCE, we have a "teen of a cause
argued before the Supreme Court of
this State, in Banc. The case of
KEAnsta and MstimY and also the
writ nt . pistons Corpuß were argued
"The writ of error was taken up. In
the presentation of this ease the At
torney General addressed - n circular
letter to the several eresident Judges
of Criminal Courts throughout the
Sts te.. to which he has received re
plies." In his reply one of the
. it' ges, um mg other things, says.
"I have sometimes, for Lake of exam
ple, imposed ULLA offenders lieti4
sentence., more severe than in my
judgment necessary for the reforma
tion of the part,cular offender.—
Whet) he had served out- part of his
sentence I recommended his pardon.
II had an understanding to that Mica
with the executive." Now we object
to this, that is to imposing a heavier
4ntence Than the Judge himself ,
think, necessary in the individual
case. WILY not leave each one bear
his oivn . burdft, suffer - his own pun
ishment for his own crimes. The
Judge having a secret * understanding'
with the ceeetitive that the sentence
is not what it purports to be on the
record gives no notice to the offen•
der that his sentence in not as severe
as it seems. He suffers the addition
al
mental agony superinduced by the
ant icipatimi of the whole time, for
which he was sentenced, being the
measure of. his .punishment and not
port of the time. It strikes us as a
pet Ilona position fer a judge to place
Lituself in, who loves tuercy tut well
as just ii'' Ile paste, a heavier sen
tence upon a poor, unfortunate offen!
der than he thinks is demanded in
the individual case.' The term closes
and the offender goes out of his juris
diction. But I c has an understand
ing that before he suffers the full sem
tt nen he, (theJu Igo) will recommend
him to executive clemency. Had
not the .Judge better be sure that lie
is not a tnemtenent at will, and that
he may go the way of all the earth
before any part of the sentence is en
durod 'oy the offender Had he riot
better make sure that the executive
too is not liable-any minute to "shu
fle off thLtmortar coil." We object
to Nue% se n tences. Let every thing
and very ,b.sly be what they appear
to be.,

Mongrel negro Legislature of Penn

pay the State creditors in federal cur

holders of untaxed United States
bonds consider it a peculiar hardship
that they should be paid in the same
kind of currency that the people arc
obliged to take and that the State
pays out to its creditors, who paid
geld value for the securities they

they had better swallow it down with
out any contortion of countenance,

should, not be squandered among a
set of thieving stock gamblers and
speculators in "loyalty'-' and war,
whose hands td souls are stained

of repudiating the debt altogether is
extending among the tax payers of
the country with a rapidity, which
should admonish the - untaxed bond•

in prospect, than the payment of his
