The same I Contention also nominated; by acclamation, the poptdar chief magistrateof the State, Governor Johnston, for reelection: Bader the banners of tech acceptable State and:National leaders, the Whip will go into the contest , If they foll, It May, be considered certain either that Pennsib subs, on a fair poll, and with the most popular Whig candidates in the Geld, is decidedly demo cratic, sad that the Whip cannot, rely on her aid in the apProacideig Presidential election, or 'that the candidates named for the highest State and National. offices are not beyond question the choice of the Whip of the State.

This .a indeed mnrvellons. ... • • It was originally alleged that persona high In station, judges and executive officers of the law,. were parties to the conspiracy, which had for its object the wholesale destruction of the property. of the Michigan Central-Railroad Company, the murder of its officers sad ' the' passengers w h o i travelled upon it. Thorn whe have read the evi dence on the trial, no - given in our whitens, will beinclined to the belief that the migkelerepre !rotations as to the patties cognisant of the con apincy were not exaggerations; that men of in fluence and. men .of wealth were banded with depraved and malevolent 'beings, having neither wealth nor Influence, in this diabolical project of wholesale destructicm and murder. And this we - infer partly-from the general tenor of the testimony, partly - from the frequent bOuti of the principal amors—verified, too, when the occasion' came that they could screen via, other in case of need; but more especially from the readiness with which almost any smarm" of money could be obtained when necessary-for their nefarious purposes: Some even of the paw.; ties now on trial may claim somewhat above the avenge soCial rank.' Yetevidence, which seems too direct and positive to be refuted, is given,. that these very persons were most prominently active in schemes; the deliberate aim of which was the wholesale destruction of other men's property, the murder of the engineers by shoot ing them ZS the locomotive 'passed a given point and the Indiscriminate murder of the passenger' by blowing up the trains with gunpowder, placed so auto be ignited by the friction of the engine. It is.very certain that the' conspirators were numerous. They seem indeed to be found in con siderable numbers at all points of the road— along its entire length, and at each, terminus.— But the' Mist shilring, aid • perhaps' the most painful part of the whole is that none of the population of those districts seem to have chosen marked abhorence of their fiendish machina tions. - Yet it is nextto biroossible to believe that" the people generally were ignorant of what was going on. That could ecarcely be. Theytalked of their plans in the barrooms of public houses, and although it is in evidence that they general ly. changed the subject of their conversation when strangers approached, it is also plain from the testimony already given, that there wee no great secretly practised when only neighbors were present They never cared to conceal their ma lignity against the company and the road; they even avowed It; and with this reatiog upon them, their.frequent consultations and whispering to gether moat have directed , simpleton against them as the perpetrators of The teeny danger ons Interruptiona to which the trains were sub jected. - . . Moreover some of them do not seem to have Labatt even ordinary precautions to prevent de tection. Spikes were drawn out of the rails, and impediments placed upon tbe track, within a stone's throat of the residence of the perpetra tors of the mischief, and wherever an "accident^ happened to the train, these eery men appear to have been the fi rst a t scene of the disaster, and to hare stood by, offering no assistance. and looking on lick satiefaction,if not openly rejoic ing in it, and scarcely caring to conceal the origin of . the mishap. Yet notwithstanding all_ this, no one seems to have viewed them with die treed or shown any horror at these disgraceful manifestations of "man's inhumanity to man:" and we are forcibly reminds] of the many maw ablations in another countrT, where men were shot in open day with impunity, because the peo ple of the neighborhood sympathized With the murderer, Insed of with the murdered. These facts being patent, we are coasttained -to inquire how it came to pass that any si,ction of this country came to be thus demoralized-- Bat the question is difficult of solution- flame of our contemporaries have attributed this con dition of things in Michigan to the abolition of capital punishment. This may hive had a per nicithis influence, making men more reckless in crime , and more heedless of the consequences of the ir acti. -We can readily believe this to be the case. Soma men can be deterred from murder .only by the knowledge that they must in return die an ignominious death. But this will not account for all that has been elicited up on this trial, unless on the assumption . th at the - abolitionb of capital punishment 'involves I the necessary relaxation of all legal restraint, which would perhaps be assuming too much,— Let the Calase be what it may, however, the star- ding facts are before us, and many persons in the state of Michigan, who were 'favorable to the abolition of capital punishment In that state, are now disposed to doubt very gravely the policy they ones advocided, feeling that whatever may be the theory upon the 'object. the stubborn fact is that erime has fearfully increased since the death penalty was abrogated. We were for a while unwilling to comment on this cue, seeing that 'twee still before thejury. But its magnitude and peculiarity, and the over whelming evidence against the prisoners, seem to justify a departure train the ordinary mile.— Much credit is doe to the directors oLthe Cen tral railroad for the lmig endurance of their dif ficulties without becoming disheartened, and es pecially for their persirrering efforts -to assert thier elm rights and.rindlcate the laws. The defendants have est Ployed able counsel, - but we really do not see hom.ltir. Seward, with all his known - shrewdness and legal acumen, can extri cate hie clients from the consequences of their acts. 80, doubt be will do his best for them— this ther claim as his clients—but of-the result we eat{ entertain, at present at last, but one opinion For the Pittsburgh Gazdte. It has been raid by some author that “then k no disputing about tastes," and perhaps, If we understood his reasoning aright, we, should be induced to agree with him. Certain it Is that we have ,now a rtandard to which we may sub mit the works of art, .almost as correctly defined . as the laws of Euclid, and file founded In the esitisble laws of the Chator, or rather extracted from a strict observation of his works.
