Hardened villains enter upon a career of infamy as upon a game of chanco, believing that the odds for immu nity’ from serious punishment are greatly in their favor.’ They calculate that Justice ' will,' indeed, be blind" to their Iniquity j or', at' all events, that her swordwill bo. powerless to wouniT them. From the hoar of-criminality they aie buoyed up with the-hope of either es caping arreit by. diyerting suspiclon or flight, orescaping conviction through lack of evidence, legal chicanery, pleak of insanity, or 'sympathe tic juries—or, at the worst, if theyare arrested, eonvicied, and sentenced, obtaining a pardon through the .intervention of influential friends. The .merciful feeling, too often evinced for criminals, should be held in abeyance, or rather exercised for the 'protection of society. It may seem ;cruel to deprive a human being oi life, however dangerous ho is to the safety of society, but if is much more , cruel,' alter his dangerous disposition has been manifested, to permit him to slay more Innocent victims, and by failing to puhish him,< virtually .' apprising other villains that they can also defy our laws.

It is natural* and on the whole fprtttßate, that this is the case, for the formal BtiffueSs oflegal pibcecdings ia thus frequent ly moalded in aeconUnce with.- the dictates of adyancedpublic opinion. But in the midst of the promulgation of the modern ideas,of le nlency tp crinilnali, it is to be feared that we have beeomeiwumffindful of the first great object of all governments—tho protection of society—and do not' display a sufficiently ea ger desire to strike terror, to the hearts of evil doers.. ress.

Baolbt and Boole,” who so terribly inflicted .themselves upon the, hapless Ja panese. Xt adds; ; >. It is a fortanate oironmstaccd that just at pro* sent the iuonmbeot of the mayoralty should be a gentleman !o every way qualified to, offer (o tbe Prinoe enoh as it will ho consistent with his iofiogoito to aeoept. Mayor-Wood is, io talent, manners, and bearing, a far-more fitting representative of, an iotelHgent and refined oomr rauoity like ours than any or the men to whom the arrangements for these receptions are usually con fitted. Dignified, self-possessed, eloquent, and full of taot. he cannot fall to contrast favorably in the eves of onr aristocratic visitors with-nnst of the olty 4 authorities with whom they will have beeo brought in bontaot during their visit to Canada. . “ To Mayor - Wood,.therefore, may safely be en trusted the task of sustaining the credit Of the olty for hospitality on this interesting occasion. It, In fset, properly belongs to bis office, if we are to be.ghlded by the precedents set'ub abroad It is oot the muniolpslitlesj but'the chief magistratos who usually tender these courtesies to distinguished strangers; for in-Kuropo, as here, it is found ad visable to guard against the vulgarity and miscon* dnot to which the management of suoh effrirs by city boards must lead Of course, the salaries of the mayors are made sufficiently large to enable them to fulfil, properly, the' duties expeoted of them. Tbe discretion ahioh they are thus enabled to exercise renders the compliments that they are called open to pay not only regal in their costli upas, but remarkable for the array of rank and In* telteet which they assemble at their boards. . " Although it fs probable that Mayor Wool will not be sustained financially by the corporarlon in the duties which will devolve upon him. as bead of the oily, on the present occasion, he'may rest fissured that be will he supported by onr leading merchants io any plans for the entertainment of tbo. Prince which, in his jndgment, are likely to pro?* .raost noceptable to him. In any event, let there be ho public reception or' precession, and in all other matters let bis Royal Highness’ wishes he consulted.' This i« the true spirit of. hospitality, and we cannot go far wrong in adhering to it.” . Mr. Fernando Wood is a gentleman with ample means, who, no doubt, will give Lord Renfrew such a reception as, on onr demo cratic principle, a distinguished stranger ought to have. From what we know of tho present Mayor of New York, we are sure he will liberally and honorably represent the principal commercial city of the Union, and leave Queen Ywtobia’s eldest son very favor ably impressed as ;to the true courtesy and hospitality of New York. Another Democratic Elector Repudi ates the Fusion Arrangement* We publish, this morning, the letter ot Mr* James R» Crawford, the Democratic elector from the Eighteenth district, to the Chairman of tho State Central Committee, in reference to the infamous fusion arrangement, by which It will be seen that, like Mr. Vaux, bo repudi ates it, and avows his determination, if elect ed, to support tbe regular Democratic nomi nees, Douglas ‘ and Johnson. We also find that a number of tbe Democratic Journals of the State are outspoken against this combina tion programme. It is evidently destined to receive from the Democracy ot tho State the contemptuous treatment it deserves* No trne friend of Douglas, and no one who is loyal toj the highest Democratic authority—the Demo cratic National Convention—will snpporfc it.

AFTERNOON BBS9ION, VTicA, Jnly 12.—The Convention reassembled at ;3 n'elpok this afternoon. ' Hen. Amos H. Presoott was chosen permanent president, desisted by a number of vice presidents and secretaries. ' Mr. Presoott, on taking the chair, returned bis ♦ineern thanks for the honor conferred upon him /this Convention, he said, had assembled to decide the] best course tbjt the Union-loving men of ibis country should pursue at. the coming elec tion. 7 He did not believe that a single man here ro glutted tbevotA he cast against the Republican or sanitation in 1855. Thai organization had thrown overboaHltbrir most prominent statesman, and >*kennp one less distinctly recognised as a Repub lican ; hot their eoctlonol prloolp’eg remained pro •lsely the same as in 185 ft. Union-loving men could no more support them now tban'thcn. . . The Democratic party. which once occupied the portion of a greet national party, was now rent in twnio.' and ont-half of it was as eeoMonnl as the Republican party in the North; Tuts Convt ntion, end the party which it represented, was as much opposed to sectionalism in one division of the coun try. oa in the other—in the South asid the North . ’There was a party in the field, however, which recognized the Constitution, and the Union Is their platform, upon which all men who really desfml the welfare and neaoe of the country could unite honorably. He had favored the nomination of Sun ffrurton by that party'm the candidato for tho Presidency by that party,' but had cheerfully yielded to tho will of the majority, and would now do all in hie powor to elect those pure and eml nentstatesmen—John Bell and Edward Everett. Tho speech of Jho president wes frequently greet ed with applause. The Committee on Credentials reported a list of the delegates to the Convention, excluding A. J. H. Ungentle, who claimed a seat as a Union dele gate from the oltyof New York. , Mr. Dugnnue violently protested against .the re port,' bu£ it was finally adopted by a unanimous vote.' . :Hoo Washington Eani, pwldeot of ttooal Union Convention al B>iHlmora t thtn re* 4io n6mlna<ion of Bell and Everett met with the hoartr concurrence of the detonates that attended : thetConVentira. ; He then addrepred the Oonven. tlon ateoneiderable length, and with much ability, fa favor of the nominees. He believed that if the election of President waft thrown ir.b Congren, John Bell will he the nest President, and no'urged nil lovers of thnlr country and the Union to unite, in order to Attain suoh a reealt. If men who never had a political jfntfmeAMn'common.can.combine In entailing etrtfb and ngltVflon npon the nation, end a great 'sectional hato. why, in tfod’sname, he asked, can* not those who love the Union*end.severe the Con* 'stitotlon trait* and eembtae* fa a great and good, act? Jler t beUeyed that the South would- glvo a laree ticket. . Jacosißrookp, Em ,of the New York Express, -followed, with a niotiosf to ratify ihe nominations. Ha agreed with- Mr.' Hunt that it was unwise nt present to form an electoral ticket, as the future is not clear. .Ho believed, that the conservative element bold the balance of power in the State,' snd Its Influence may tend to save the country from disgrace. • 1 ,J He referred to the Whig party of 185 t, elsituing that,the nop!tlon then taken was the same as is now oUltned by'Mr. Dongles. The noblest fight against Federal interference and tyranny was made hy Mr. Douglas in Illinois egafast all the power of the AdmfaiMiraHon. He tfaooght It was their duty to, nnfte on the Union ticket whether Mr. ponglas or any one else was on it. Ha believed that there were many Union men In the Republloun party, bat its leaders were thfaWs and robbers worse,than any'at Sing Sing of Adbdrn.'

John L.

This was an address of much merit, and bring wril delivered, was greeted with mere appiaase than anv of tho preceding ones. >• } " Goo W Brunner spoke upon “The Study of Science,” but there was little or nothing about science in it. The production was fall of high sounding phrase*, with little meaning, and one— * tho feast of reason and the flow of ami”— was so very original that it brought asrnlfo to many faces R Alexander West delivered an essay on “Pc etry,” which was a very merltorloas composition, though on a somewhat hackneyed subject He entered into the spirit of his theme, and spoke with much grace and correctness of pronanoiation Although this composition was ono of the bps: written, and welt delivered, the youthful speaker retired without a single bouquet, but with mmv rounds of applause Others preceding him were sometimes obliged to oarry to their ssius as many bouqnets ns would flit a market basket.

After the oonolurion of this address, tho orches tra performed tho “ Sleigh Bell Polka ” in su perlor style, so much so that an encort was de manded. and given after tumultuous applause This lively air especially attracted the attention of the ladles. The cracking of whips, jingling of bells, and rapid, spirited style in which the air whs executed, bringing to the mind the recrilec linns of .winter, werevery pleariog, considering the state of the thermometer in the room at the time, and put tho audience in a good humor. George tl Nnnheya delivered the honorary ad dress upon “ Tho Bclesoe of Mathematics ” He regarded the snienao of mathematics na deserving of study, and important as n means of Increasing our knowledgo and disciplining oar intellectual powors. The testimonials wore then awarded, and the degrees conferred.

It must be apparent that tho oVj-et o- bringing suit in regard totbe commission was simply todelav (he construction of (he buildings, for co one could iouht the right of tbo Legislature to pass the law they have made. If Independence Fqnare h»d been these resolutions would never h»vs heen presented. It was merely the oppooenH of •be location, Peon Square, who are asking for this delay. . Ux Hanker said Mr. Fox had rffered and read ♦ho resolutions in Belect Council on the 17th of May—a person who had nothing to do with the location. The citizens of this country raised against the mother country when they thought •hey were Imposed upon, nnd we will rebel against the action cl the Legislature when it attempts to do what wa consider pnconstilutlonsl. Twoof the dktrio* bad refosed.te acton the commis sion, ar.d that might aestroy ihe power of On commission to proceed with.the erection .of the buildiogs He. therefore, hoped the resolution? would pas*, so that the matter might be tested in the Supreme Coart. Mr. Harper thought that when the city refused ♦o act for itself, it was right that the Legislature should step in and net for them. The question of cutting up new bui’dings has been agitated for thp tftst. twenty-two years, and one Grand Jury after another have reported our court buildings as nui sances. As there Is an utter impossibility of fba?a Councils ever agreeing, hv a two-tbirds vote, for a loan to oonp*Tn<*t the buildings, R was, in his opi nion, constitutional and proper that the Legisla ture shculd have parsed the act emnoweriTg the •ommission to pegoHato for a loan for that pnr t’o*e. Mr. M'gargeo thought that those who supported •bis measure ;uu?t uckoowledgc that they are •n want of Guardians. He thought the Council* of Phils Jclpbia were cb'oto take care cf the interests of Ibe city, and that the T egtslature had no right to make laws fur them, ne was in favor of erect ing the publio buildings in Independence Fquaro; there would he ample room obtained by purchasing Philosophical Hall, tearing down tho wings wf the hall, and extending the buildings along Fifth and street*, j bis lathe centre of luMne?*, and here (he public buildings should, lahls cplnlor, be olftrod Meters. Polter, Cathenrood. CresSwell, and others discussed tho snlj*ot at great lengih. Mr Quinn withdrew his motion to p«>s(poso ihe consideration of the resolulfons, and the question being put. they were agreed to. Mr. Haekrr then presented the following resolu tion ns an and fo he added to" those *ubnsD‘ed hv Mr. Fox: • \R*io!ve-t, That ns d mlty oftbe Ruthnri*if* of the c:t» ot Pbi*ad»(rhtft v-ouM he f*st vird’ca'edlv this <urs<», wo rr»-ent'u’lf rryuent hia Boror th* flavor, on 4 the Presidcata of F efct ar>a Common to rejttn the oommitaion. ospeoisUv a* two of »he j deesof the Appear t«» oontlds tha oi.A*»ctr-bly imyioper, b$ refuting to servo on said commiMion. • ...... 1 - - Mr. Hacker said he «.ff*r«Hl the above in good faith and In good spirit.
