A great many facts may bo adduced to
show the insufficiency of Capital Punish
ment The criminal returns of gfcal Brit
ain show, that thero has been less horse
stealing within tho last seven years, with
out any execution whatever than in the pre
ceding seven years, with forty-two execu
tions that .there has been less sheep steal
ing during the last four years elapsed since
the abolition of Capital Punishment, than
tiuring the four previous years : that there
have been fower acts of burglary and house
breaking in tho last three years ending willi
1830, whe,n thirty-six persons suffered
death lot those offonces. But not so of
other crimes for which capital punishment
still continues, lor they have nearly all in
creased.

JOURNEYMEN PRINTERS.
"VVo make the following extract ffdm
the New Yorker, of the description of a
Journeyman Printer, in the various capaci

believe, brought up in tho office of our con
tinental friend Poulson of Philadelphia.
The narrow field ill which he found himself
on gaining his liberty, proved altogether too
insignificant for the exercise of his genius.
He turned stage driver and afterwards ped
lar. We next knew him as a school tcaell
cr at Salem, N, J., and subsequently as the
taptain of a duck river sloop. This latter
Occupation soon lost the charm of novelty
and ho resumed his place at the press. Here
we lost sight of him for a time, but our ac
quaintance was renewed in the summer of
1834 at Lcwisburg, Va where we found
his typesmp officiating as Methodist minis

was employed in dissecting tho administra

knocked some politicians into pi was a sin

minary of a late date, says :
"Oonstderable excitement prevails m the

of one or two of the citizens. We dd not
propose to enter into the merits of the case,

came out in testimony taften before his hon

that Dr. , (a physician ofsomo stand

apparently about 20 years of age, who con
tinued to live with llim until a week or ten
days since, when for reasons best known
to themselves suspicions were excited In
the minds of the citizens that the aforesaid
student was a dcjiale ! On tho strength
of these suspicions, application was made
to a justice for warrants to arrest the doctor
and his student. these were granted the

A writer in the Knickerbocker has the fol
lowing just remarks on the subject :
" Moralists may talk abotlt principle as
they please. It is good in the abstract.
Men must have habits of goodness, or they
will fail, whll the purest intentions in the
world. It is hard to find out where habit
ends or principal begins ! Why, it is con
science, common sense. It puts us in a
good path, it points out when we havo lost
the way ; but habit governs us. Habit
begets principle.and bad principles are some
times only sophistry that is Want of com
mon sense. I pray God to give me good
habits ! You may reason about the excel
lence of virtue and temperance till you die :

you are first physically so. Dr. Johnson
