William Hopkins, of Washington County, declining to be a candidate for the Gowernorship of the State. In and out of Congress the question has been stated whether the general amnesty proclamation of President Johnson was in accordens with law, in as much as there has been no convic- tion, there could be no pardon. The President claims the power under the Constitution, and the Supreme Court has made the following decision. “The Constitution provides that the President shall have power to grant pardons for offenses against the United States; except in case’ of impeachment. The power thus conferred is unlimi- ted, with the exception stated It ex- tends to every offense known to the law, and may be exercised'at any time af- ter its commision, either before legal proceedings are taken; or during: their pendency, or after conviction and judgement. The power of the Presi- dent is not subject to legislative control. Congress can neither limit-the effecttof this pardonnor exclude from its exer- cise any class of offenders. The benign prerogative of mercy reposed in him cannot be fettered by any legislative restrictions.” Wepresume this is clear enough. & tl > — If twenty-seven inches of snow give | three inches of water, how much milk will a cow.give, when fed upon turnips ?

PREJUDICE. Prae implies before, and judicium, judgement. These two words taken together form our common word, pre- Judice, literally a prejudgement. Pre- judice means a preconceived opinion or decision of the mind usually formed without due examination. Convincing and pursuading chiefly done by arguments addressed to the Reason. Had we nothing but that reason to deal with, and it were pure and uncor- rupted, it would then be a matter of no great skill or labor to convince anoth- er person of common mistakes, or to pursuade him to assent to plain and obvious truths. But alas! mankind stands wrapped round in errors, and entrenched in prejudices; and every guarded by something else besides rea- son. mind is surrounded by a dense medium akin to the summer fogs which envelope our mountains through which the beau- tiful] sunshine reluctantly penetrates.

It is a host of evil within: itself. One of the highest exhibitions of the moral, subiime, the world ever witnes- sed, was-that of Daniel Webster, when in an open barouche in the streets of Boston, he prce’aimed in substance, to a vast ass.mbly of his constituents —unwilling hearers—that “they had conquered an uncongenial clime ; they had conquered a sterile soil ; they had conquered the winds and currents of the ocean ; they had conquered mo. tof the elements of nature ; but they must yet learn to conquer their prejudices.” Candid reader, are you one of those who forms his opinions on doubtful statements? Do yow condemn, like the Bostonians, before you: hear all the facts ? In politics, is your party al- ‘ways in-the right and the other in the wrong? In religion; is goodness only found in those who believe with you? If so, do youtknow that vou are erec- ting a barrier between you and truth?
