MONDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1857
ENGLAND AND INDIA.
The imperfect hold which England has on
India has scarcely been thoroughly understood
as yet. It is customary to talk of her having
been mistress of that vast peninsula for a hun
dred years, and of her haying, during that
time, derived enormous wealth from it by ex
torting large revenues from its inhabitants.
The fact is, her sovereignty over the greater
part of it dates but from a more recent pe
riod. Tho empire, whose foundation was laid
by CLIVE and WARREN ILISTINOS, at first:corn.
prehended little more than the province of
Senates, and scattered factories on the eastern
coast. The victories of HARRIS and WEL
LESLEY at the close of the last century an.:
nexed the territories of RYDER Am and TIPPOO
SAIIIB to the British dominions: those of
LAKE added Central Hindostan at the begin
ning of the present century—while it is not
twenty years since Afghanistan and the Pun
jab, Scinde and Moultan, were brought within
the subduing influence of the English arms;
in fact, it is only within a very few years that
the military abilities of NAPIER and Goma
brought these countries under imbjection—and
Burtnah has been reduced within the last four
years. The kingdom of Oude, where the re
volt began, was "annexed" only a few months
ago.
Thus, in by far the greater part of the con.
quered territories, there has been no time to
consolidate the dominion of the conquerors.
But if there bad been, would it have been
done? We may turn to southern and eastern
India for an answer and what do we find?
Millions of money extorted by grasping resi
dents and collectors from the unresisting na
tives—which sums have beer, transferred to
England to build up the oolfssal fortunes and
influence of East India Directors; while none,
or but an insignificant portion of them, have
been expended for the benefit of the impover
ished country; but the ancient religious feel
ings 'and prejudices of the people have been
Interfered with—their suttees and, laws of in.
baritones abolished ; the rights of the native
landholder? have been interfered with, and
their complaints disregarded; and all this has
been done by strangers and intruders whose .
presence was uninvited and detested. Can we
wonder at the people of Mindostan making an
attempt to thiow off the yoke of the fo
reigner 1
In truth, it is not England, but a company of
merchants, practically irresponsible, that has
contrived to gain possession of these rich do.
mains. The control which the Home Go
vernment exercises over the East India Direc
tors, through the medium of a board, called
cc the Board of Control," is of the most imper
fect kind. The Crown has the appointing of
the Governor General, but if ho displease the
merchant-princes of Loadenball street, he may
be recalled by them, as was the case with
Lord EUENDOROUI7II in 1843, on the occasion
of his restoring to ono of the native temples
the gates of Sonmanth, carried oil' by the Ma
hommedan conquerors of the country some cen
turies previously. The Crown also nominates
to the Presidencies, and to the chief military
commands. The Queen's troops take prece
dence of the Company's—and a host of dis
tinguished and gallant officers whose names
have added lustre to the military annals of
Groat Britain are thus precluded from aiding
the Empire at large by their services. During
the late Russian war, the English people
called loudly for the employment of such men
as HAVELOCK, HERBERT EDWABDU, and oth
era, who had_really seen service in the field
and utSdersteed modern Warfaro 4 -but the Mi
nistry would not move an inch from the old
routine and red-tapelsm of the preceding
generation, and consequently veterans more
fitted to be nursed than to lead youthful war
riors were,placed at the head of' the armies of
England—with what result the annals of the
Crimean expedition too well attest.
If this imbecile conduct be pehisted in riow,
the military prestige of England must diaap
pear. We perceive by the recent advices from
that country that a movement has been made
in favor of adopting our own system of volun
teer regiments, whose officers shall be elected
by the different companies—a system which, if
honestly adopted and carried out, would at
once open up a career to thb thousands of en
terprising spirits with which Great Britain
abounds, and supply her with any amount of
soldiers. Our country has never yet ex
perienced the want of able and heroic assertora
of her rights in the hour of need ; yet w
' have but an insignificant standing army,
and we do not bribe men to become sol.
diors. Were England to follow our example,
we have no doubt she would bo as faithfully
served; but then, where would be the scions
of aristocracy for whom the world was made?
Lord SANSTERRN would be unable to purchase
for his son, the Hon. Ton FI7,NOODLR, the
privilege of wearing the red jacket and gold
epaulets of her Majesty's slashers," and
of becoming the' admiration of the fair at re
view and at ball. The youthful hero, if once
entered on his duties, would not, under our
system, receive much encouragement to desert
his post on account of , e urgent private affairs,"
nor would he be iromoted for doing nothing,
or worse than nothing, over the heads of the
men who do the work.
England has, at this moment, need of every
soldier she can obtain. She pays enormously,
under her present system of recruiting, for
every man who enters her army, yet recruits
come in but slowly, and they aro generally
men of a low class and character. IVII/ she
succeed in raising an army sufficiently large,
and soon enough, to re-establish her empire in
the East? Scarcely, unless a radical change
be made in the constitution of her army.
This will be resisted to the last by those in
terested in maintaining the present system;
for if the army should be reformed, the navy
will follow—then every branch of the public
service will follow. It will be all up with aris
tocratic patronage and power, and perhaps her
"established church" may be relieved of its
connexion with the State, its groat revenues be
applied to their original uses—the maintenance
of the poor, the education of the people, and
the support of the fabric of the churches and
cathedrals.
The reconquest of India is beset with diffi
culties. We do not mean the mere suppres
-111011 of the mutiny amongst the Sepoys, but wo
moan the re-establishment of that prestige
which has hitherto so greatly facilitated Eng
' land's progress in India. Thousands upon
thousands of lives will bo sacrificed in the
struggle, and should the entire population of
Ilindostan ultimately embark in it, the con
tending forces will be in the proportion of
3,000 to 1 ! Fearful odds! which will be ma
terially increased should Russia, overtly or
covertly, (as It has been alleged she is doing,)
supply officers and ammunition, and Persia and
the tribes on the northern frontiers join in the
conflict.
Yet the progress of civilization is identified
with the success of England. Should she
fail, Christianity in India will bo extirpated,
and the whole country thrown back into bar
barism. A thoVeand tyrants would despoil the
fair land far worse than their Anglo-Saxon
masters. This rebellion once suppressed, a
new policy must of necessity ho adopted to
wards
tho native population. It may be right
to make an example of Benda like NIIINA Sam,
who have been guilty at inbeard-of atrocities,
but tbo people at large must be conciliated,
their laws and rights respected, and their con
version be loft to the operation of more gentle
influences. Meanwhile, the company must ho
abolished, and the country placed effectively
under the control of the British Legislature.
The lucrative posts hitherto tilled by the nomi
nees of directors must be thrown open for
public competition. The national revenues
must bo employed in educating and elevating
both Hindoos and Mahometans of every sect
and caste; railroads and canals,steam and elec
tricity, must be made to develop the immense
resources of this wonderful peninsula. And
afreepres3 must give scope to the mind of the
natives, and to the bringing of the abuses and
oppression under Which they have suffered to
the light of day. Should this be done, India
may in time recognise In England her benefac
tor instead of her oppreeior.
THE TARIFF.
Foe The Preael
Mn. EDITOR PREBB of the 9th
inst. I observe a communication signed J.
/ilco., in answer to my letter to you of the
27th ult., on the subject of the present revul
sion. Your correspondent's dissection of my
argtiment may, labia own opinion, be masterly
antlcomplete; bo I, for one, must beg leave
to differ with film, and will venture to say,
that could the *cation of fostering and pro
tecting, our owa;:manufactures be presented
to tit° qmoplo Of the free States apart from
any .. .other Wadi any party prejudices, he
would find himself, or the doctrine he teaches,
overwhelmingly ha the minority. Free-trade
gains slowly on, the affections of the Ameri
can people, so slowly indeed that the English
press are of late growing moody at the fact of
our unwillingness to throw ourselves entirely
Into their colonial embrace. But British
free-traders may ;well feel uneasy at the tardy
progress of theiridoctrines on this side of the
Atlantic, and instead of an increase of con
verts to them, they may look out for a pre
ponderance of enlistments on the other side
oe.the..q.uoAlOth';,.What common sense and
seltßovtint. l trt4bs have failed to do, is now
abont't 'Xietitituplished by the misery and
, W 4 o . Ali,grkir the stoppage of mama/m
-illi* pitlitililion of trade, brought about

running 10044 to the extent of hundreds of
'a 4 tft)4 l lor wares and merchandise
that could hdVe' been supplied by our own
mechanics and laborers.
But J. MCC., = l,hough well enough content
with my statistics, is annoyed at any logic,
which I viet is eat of that metaphysical and
elaborate style that be employs ; but still not
quite no clumsy as to Mistake effect for cause,
and commit the other absurdities that ho
rather implies than expresses. His logic is so
refined and ethereal, that, like the dramatist's
imaginary dagger, it is gg unclutehable," but
after many grasps, I think I have it. He
sagely tells usdbat extravagant Importations
aro the result of a redundancy of paper mo
ney, instead of low duties. This theory is too
open bathe web to keep out light, and as soon
as J. McC. can make it appear that our paper
money can be used in payment of our pur
chases abroad, we will subscribe to his dis
jointed 'doctrine, that excessive bank issues
lead to undue Importations. He well knows
that nothing but coin can be remitted to fo
reign countries in payment of balances against
us, and yet ho would endeavor to make us be
lieve that our Flora McFlimseys can go shop
ping with our bask bills lu Paris, and that the
same currency procures the French wines that
Americans drink and the English iron they
ride on. We - .:do not profess to be adepts in
political, econtnny this region ; but wo have
advanced at least far enough in it to know
that our importations must either be paid for
in cotton, grain, &c., &c., or in specie, and
that extravagant purchases abroad lead to ex
travagant ones athome; and in order to make
these among ourselves, recourse is had to a
system of credit, based upon a multiplicity of
promises to pay, omitted freely by individuals
as well as banks, How else, then, but as an
effect, does palidmoney figure in this opera
tion ? and J. MeC. in classing it as a cause
has only made the slight mistake himself of
placing the cart before the horse, instead of
that awkward "hitch up" having been made
by myself.
There is a striking coincidence connected
with this subject to which I invite the atten
tion of J. M'C. It is the fact of excessive is
sues of paper money, and low duties going
hand in hand, or that whenever the latter ex
ists the former is sure to follow. This has
been the case in several instances in this coun
try ; and for the especial benefit of your logi
' cal correspondent I will refer to two of them.
The compromise act or tariff, passed March,
1833—under which the duties were low from
the date of its operation, and were reduced
one-tenth of the'excess over twenty per cent.
every two years, until, in 1842, when no rate
on any import exceeded twenty per cent,—in
augurated a period closely approaching free
trade. As the duties declined Importations
Increased, as did the omission of bank paper,
which, In 1837, rooked the inflated mark of
$149,186,890.• ttext came the suspension of
specie payments; and the rear'of the train of
evils, that followed In the wake of a low tariff,
was brought up by the prostration of manu
factures and trade, general bankruptcy and an
impoVerishall,Gelernment,,Ftdch et the time

gotiate a loan, rendered necessary by the ruin
of business, and overthrow of confidence,
brought about by the low duties of the act of
1833.
After a prosperous interval of four or five
years under a protective tariff, we are called
upon again to pass through the acme empirical
treatment, consisting as before of throwing
open our ports to an avalanche of foreign
goods, alternate stoppage of manufitctures, and
depression of trade; then an expansion of
credit and excessive issue of paper money,
reaching the grand total of upward of two
hundred and fourteen millions of dollars in
1857. Finally, wo discover ourselves in smno-
thing like the same plight, though on a much
more extended scale, that we were in at the
close of the operations of the tariff of 1833,
and so completely is the ono period the coun
terpart of the other, that a loan on the part of
the Government is now talked of to meet its
obligations. Without some change for the
better in the condition of business before the
close of the present fiscal year, the balance in
the treasury will not only be exhausted, and
the revenue insufficient to meet the expenses
of the Government, but there trill doubtless be
an agent or agents despatched in some direc
tion to negotiate a loan. Is there not, Mr. J.
MeC.—to say the least of it—a remarkable si
militude in the two periods referred to 7 and is
it not very singular that excessive bank issues
are confined generally to seasons of extrava
gant importations ? In 1837, under low du
ties, the circulation of our banks was, as be
role stated, $149,185,890; after the success
ful operation of the protective tariff of 1842,
wo find that in 1847 paper money had not only
not inirersed, but had really been diminished to
$105,519,766. I have thus shown that there is
a much greater expansion of credit and paper
circulation under low duties, than under those
that were levied to protect our manufactures,
and that J. MeG. has used his logic to no other
purpose than to show that he himself has mis
taken effect for Cease.
HO is also greatly mistaken in supposing that
I belong to the school that regards nothing as
vealth but money. I subscribe to doctrine,
ust tho opposite, and say that money is mere-
ly the representative of wealth, and only the
medium through Which the exchanges of true
wealth are made. It would be better for the
country if the real purpose of money was
carried out—that of effecting exchanges only,
instead of encouraging a system by which
dealers and hawkers in it are multiplied to an
extent almost equalling in numbers the lice
of Egypt, and scarcely less afflicting to those
on whom they pounce. Such, however, is but
one of the many bitter fruits of a system that
reduces freemen to competition with serfs and
paupers, cheapens credit, and as a sequence
breeds innumerable irresponsible e. promi-
sea to pay," and when the rickety structure,
thus reared on the insecure base of free-trade,
tumbles and scatters ruin and distress on all
sides, we aro mockingly told to reduce our
"circulating medium down to as near au ap
proximation to a specie basis as can possibly
he effected." In other words, we are told
substantially to try to carry out the chimera of
doing the extended and vast business of this
country with hard money or gold and slicer
only.
I invoked the names I did in support of the
"protective cause" for reasons such as the
following: Thomas Jefferson said, in his re
port to Congress, as Secretary of State, in
1793: Experience has taught me that manu
factures are now as necessary to our inde
pendence as to our comfort, and if they who
quote me [referring to his Notes on Virginia,
written in 1785] as of a different opinion, will
keep pace with me in purchasing nothing
foreign, when an equivalent of domestic fabric:
can be obtained, without any regard to differ
ence of price, it will not be our fault if we do
not have a supply equal to our demand, and
wrest that weapon of distress from the hand
that has so oftenviolated it." Mr. Madison led
off in the passage of an act in the first Congress
leaning strongly to the side of the protection
of our labor, and worded thus : "Whereas, it
is necessary for the support of Government,
for the discharge of the debts of the United
States, and for the encouragement and protec
tion of manufactures,, that duties be laid on
goods, wares, and merchandise imported."
This act was signed by President Washington
on the fourth of July, 1789.
In conclusion, I would say to J. MeC. that
an ounce of practice is worth a pound of theo
ry, and experience—that efficient teacher—
has demonstrated that a protective tariff af
fords an abundance of employment at good
wages, confines capital more strictly to the
legitimate channels of business, and enforces
those cardinal principles of 'economy of plat
ing the consumer by the side of the producer,
and of living within our income. It is hoped,
therefore, that those who aro in power—after
reviewing the mischievous effects that have
been produced by repeated alterations in our
revenue laws from 1816 down to the present
time—win establish a policy that will protect
our labor, and shield us hereafter from such
revulelons as the present ono. C. B. F.

TIIE TARIFF NOTION
For The Press.]
DELAWARE COUNTY, Nov. 5, 1857.
I observe that many persons have taken up
the idea that the financial crisis has been pro
duced by the moderate rates of duties, which
thellemocratic party have always successfully
contended for. These persons allude particu
larly to the tariff of 1846 and 1857. Under the
first named act the nation has flourished be
yond all precedent, and during the period of
its existence no branches of industry' have
been more prosperous than the mining and
manutlicturit% branches. I will venture to
state that the profits reaped by those interests
have exceeded all bthers, and that these very
enormous returns have, in a great measure, as
sisted in causing the present money pressure,
by diverting too much capital and labor from
other industrial pursuits, and, as a consequence,
the very classes who ask for protection are
now suffering from the reaction.
The "hard times" cannot bo attributable to
the act of 1857. During the few months of its
inthney the balance of trade has been much
in favor of our country. There is now no for
eign demand for our California crops, and we
are importing abundantly of the golden grains
of Australia. What would wo think of our
political sister on the Pacific instructing her
Congressmen, at the nest session, to ask for a
heavy duty on foreign gold, to protect the
mining operations 7
Those who write tariff (or terrific) theo
ries in favor of the coal and iron interests of
our State are concerned in the, mining of
those minerals, and the assurance they have
in demanding assistance from the General Go
vernment is equalled only by their one-sided
notions, Ido not wish to deprive them of
their just rights, as citizens of the Republic;
but if they engage in enterprises which occa
sionally prove unprofitable, what right have
they to tax the people at large to support
them, and inflate the value of their property?
They would ridicule the farmers,the mechanics,
and the merchants, if thoseportions of society
were to make similar calls to balance any defi
ciency that might arise from such occupations
and what constitutional right has Congress
avowedly to protect ono class at the expense
of all the other classes of the community ?
Such a doctrine would be dangerous to the
very parties who expect to be benefited by its
adoption. Suppose that the next Congress
should grant this monopolizing class all that
it wants, where would it be a year after? The
very stimulus that would be supplied by such
legislation might cause more mines to be
opened,zuore factories to be built, more mine
rals to be extracted from the earth, more
machinery to bo put into motion, than will be
required for the next generation, and the in
dividuals who are at present engaged in those
enterprises might be ruined by the domestic
competition which would at once arise.
The coal and iron interest has had its fair
share of good fortune. See the many mil
lionaires in our midst who Ire emblazoned
on their escutcheon—the black diamond and
the iron sceptre with the appropriate motto:
"Iron to cool our enemies, coal to warm our
friends."
The coal and iron interest is certainly in a
deplorable condition. But is not every other
branch of trade in equally as bad a state as
that ?
The mining and manufacturing population
of the Union is a Very limited one, and
yet it proclaims its grievances as if it was the
only suffering portion of the nation.
If Henry Clay., the great father of the
American system," were now living, it is be
lieved that he would be the leader of a " free
trade" party. His idea was, that the babe
should be fostered and nourished by Govern
ment, but that as soon as it became able to
walk, it should be forced to depend upon its
own limbs, and to grow up to manhood, ac
cordingly, by its own vital power.
Some people argue "free trade" for old
countries, " protection" for new countries.
Certainly, the same natural laws govern all
countries, and nations who have least legisla
tion are in the hest condition. If our Govern
ment undertake to protect the mining and ma
nufacturing classes beyond what is reasonable,
for the purpose of obtaininga revenue, let her,
at the same time, do justice to all her people,
and secure tti them, in some way, a fair equi
valent for their industry.
Iron and coal aro absolnte necessaries, and
should be obtained at the lowest possible
prices. Every article of consumption is af
fected by the coat of these important staples,
and it the, people Can receive them trout
the roost distant regions' o 3 tho' - globe ,
at a less price than they can, be pro.
duced front our own wines, it would be
no national loss to do so, as American ships
and American sailors would receive the
largest share of such comparatively cheap
articles, and we would then retain these same
natural products in our mines at a cheap
storage, to be used when necessity requires.
But no such alternative as this is probable.
The very financial storm which is still ratting
will prevent for several years an over-quantity
of the raw material being taken from the
hands of nature. It is, therefore, predicted
that the coal and iron interests will be the first
to feel the return of prosperity.
Do the protectionists want ships to go to
foreign ports freighted with American pro.
duce, and bring nothing back ? Do they want
to tax the industry of the farmer with the cost
of freight both ways I Do they consider for a
moment, that the Almighty never intended
that ono nation should be perfectly independ
ent of all other nations
Do they think that we are gifted with a cli
mate to produce spices equal to those of
Africa ?—teas equal to those of Chinal—dye
stuffs to those of India I—coffee to that of
South America 1 Can our country manufac
ture silks equal to those of France ?—linens to
those of Ireland ? and One cotton fabrics to
those of England ? Any legislation which
tends to combat with the laws of nature is
wrong, and the nation that submits to it will
surely suffer 1
The tabling interests of the Old World have
one advantage over us—that is, cheapness of
money, their average rates of interest being
live per cent. per annum. Its manufacturing
interest has two advantages over us—climate
and cheaper money. Both ,interests have,
however, to contend with freights paid to
AMerican ships, numberless commissions, du
ties, &c., and last, thougb not leant, thesupe
rMr ingenuity and enterprise of our people.
Place a high tariff on foreign manufactures,
and you offer an incentive to smuggling, and
the honest merchant is.obliged to contend with
the most unscrupulous parties. Place a prohi
bitory tariff on foreign manufactures, and you
will soon find branches of the leading estab
lishments of Manchester and Lyons opened on
our seaboard, taking advantage of the protec
tion which will be afforded to them just as
much us to our own citizens, conquering the
climate, by the aid of the premium our reve
nue (1) laws afford them, having at the same
time their leading concerns in Europe, where
they can raise money at low rates, and in a
few years our own manufacturers will be
ruined. A change of policy will then be
adopted by our law-makers, In the meantime,
foreigners will retire to their homes with
pockets well lined. The work-shop and cot
ton-mill should not be subjected to such se
vere trials. Let our people go on manufac
' turing steadily, gradually, and moderately, and
in the end they will all be benefited.
No class of the community has suffered so
much as that immediately connected with ship
ping. Yet, with the exception of the mail
steamship owners, no one concerned in this
branch of trade has demanded a bounty from
our National Government, and I even ques
tion the propriety of granting aid to those
companies, as their stock is owned principally
by foreigners.
Our flag whitens every sea, and our tonnage
outranks that of any other power. Colum
bia rules the waves," as far as sailing vessels
are concerned ;•and she would do so, too, with
steamers, if Government pay were withdrawn
from a few monopolizing lines, private enter
prise being paralyzed by the bounty given to
them.
What is to become of this great commerce
of which we boast, if a few rich speculators
in coal, iron, and dry goods are to be gratified

Stephen Girard never presented an ap
peal to Congiess tin' assistance when ho made
an unfortunate India voyage, yet Abbott Law
rence was always on the alert to seek protec
tion. Was not the Philadelphia merchant as
important in his way as the Boston manufac
turer was in his ?
I cannot conclude these remarks in a more
appropriate manner than by giving the follow
ing extract front a speech made by one of our
greatest statesmen, Patrick Henry; "Why
should we fetter commerce ? If a man is in
chains, he droops and bows to the earth, for
his spirits are broken. But let him twist the
fetters from his legs, and he will stand erect.
Fetter not commerce— let her boas free as air;
she will range the whole creation, and return
on the wings of the four winds of heaven, to
bless the land with plenty." G. Med.

[From the Homo Journal ]
That woman should have equal chance with wen
in all honorable arts and professions, and in all
decent and proper pursuits for the gaining of a
livelihood—shut cif from nothing except by her
own sense of propriety, or by disqualification of phy
sical form—has long been the Utopian ideal of the
champions of the sex. But venoms coincident cir
cumstances seem, at the present moment, to indi
cate the BpontancOLts coming about of this desira
ble era. We refer to—
let. The triumphant claim to masculinity of
genius made by Rosa Bonhour in painting, and by
Harriet Roomer in sculpture

a feature of our agricultural fairs—(precursory to
female assumption of the lighter labors of agricul
ture, we presume.)
3d, The regular education now afforded to We
female physician, and the increasing numbers of
that sex in the profession of medicine.
4th. The stand recently taken by the London
Times, against the degrading employment of men
in avocations better suited to women, such as selling
goods behind counters, and the practice of in-door
trades which do not require strength, such as type
setting,book-binding, .to.
sth. The Bloomer movement. for the better
adaptation of dress to masculine pursuits.
Pith. The sewing -machine, by which the one hind

subordinateness of woman—needle-work—is essen

Christian W. Wooster was called up for sentence.
Judge Conrad stated to the accused his TulDnalez , itDa
of the two offences, sin : of keeping a panel-hoe/a
and of larceny of silver ware. Wooster was inked
what ho hail to nay. .The accused then acknow
ledged the charge of instituting, a panel-house, as
a true one. The larceny,
howek cr, he denied most
positively, and proceeded to state circumstances
which he considered would have a tendency to
mitigate his sentence. lie said the only witness
against him was a man named Johnson. who was a
convict. Ile dwelt at length on the had character
of tho wilness, until interrupted by the judge.
Smith and Johnson alone committed the robbery
of the silver ware; and, at tlko time of the theft,
Wooster said that he was ate gambling saloon at
Ninth and Chestnut streets, in company with two
mon, who would have appeared as witnesses in his
favor, had they not been put out of the way
by officers who were desirous of his (Wooster's)
conviction.
" There are now," said Wooster, "a number of
panel.houses in this city, and in the very neighbor
hood iu which,l lived." The speaker entirely ex
onerated Murray from any participation in his
crime. Judge Conrad then sentenced the accusil
tol tire years' imprisonment at hard labor in the
Eastern Penitentiary—two years for larceny and
three years for the panel-house. Virginia Smith
was called up to receive her sentence. lier counsel
came forward and stated that he had received in
formation that she had respectable relatives in
Now York, and that she had once led a decent life
in that State.
Judge Conrad then passed the sentence, remark
ing as follows: "Ton are accused, 'Virginia Smith,
of having been a participant in a crime of no ordi
nary magnitude. Whatever may have been the
praiseworthy events that have transpired in your
past life, there is but little doubt that you have
now given yourself up to the utmost depravity.
The peculiar circumstances of the crime of which
you stand convicted are such as show you possessed
of more than ordinary cruelty, deceit, and wicked
ness. In consideration, however, of your sea and
youth, the Court bee lightened the sentence which
is to bo pronounced. It is, that you. be subjected
to close and solitsiry confinement in OA Eauterm
