Fnc Blunt Ninyn.—We publish dm morn
ing the proceedings of the 'fleeting held in Allegheny
city, on Saturday evetling, in favor ofts free Bridge.
We hope the good; people of the two ;cities will per.
seeeref n the good work so happily commented by the
meeting: We think it . quite probable that sufficient
-funds can be collected, to purchase one of tho Bridges
new erected. The Proiter authorities - of the two cities
ought not only to contribute to this fund; but take
charge of 'the Bridge after purchased —and keep the
sear In good repair. I

The Revenue Bill Was again before the [louse to

An opponent of the !'Right of way" bill, this morn
ing, moved to suspend the ruler, for the purpose of
taking up the adjournment resolutions of the Senate—
the motion was disagreed to, yeas 8; nays 70.
' There is still fourteen sections of the Reverue Bill
to be meted upon—tids will require some time, but
• the friends of the Right of Way think they will be
,able to take it up early in the neat week.

Commercial ' i mportance of Oregon.
The Democracy of! this county are to meet on Fri
lay evening to exprcu their views on the Oregon
question. So far ati we have been able to ascertain
,the sentiments orouq party Mandl', they are decidedly
opposed to any corn piumi se of the question based upon
the surrender of territory to - which the American
Government basjusi. clafm. We do not consider it
d
necessary to say enalwor as, to the validity of the
American title; our di-Aunt purpose being to meet the
'argument presented many that the country north
of the 49th parallel its worthless—that it is a cold
barren regicin, not Worth contending about. This ar
gument is urged by "onto as a- reason why the Ameri.
can Government shaluld surrender it to Great Britain
without a strUggle Of any kind. In order to show our
readers how utterly ! unfounded are all these assertions
we invite their attm4m to the annexed:extracts from
'the speech of the Han JOHN M'CLCIINAND, of 111
Deis; delivered in the House of Representatives, Jan.
glary Bth, 1846, on' the "Notice Resolutions." Mr
WClernand deservis the thenksiof the country fur the
nable effort made b l y him in defence of great National
(acts presented by Mr M'Clernand ,
we
thank, camact-ss4
t"-camince the unprejudiced or
all parties that we , should, at every nanistrorrerainell
of the Oregon territory to which our title is "clear
Ad
uneuestirinabre." -
"The time has arrived, Mr Chairman, for the A
,
meriese people to appreciate the importance of an
Intimate and extensive. trade carried on directly from
their western scabbard with the innumerable. weal
thy. and intell:gent peoploL of China, the Indies,
Polynesia, and Smith America. Our present trade
with the Eurepead nations elm are for the most part
nengaged in the 'Mae occupation and prodcee the
same articles for cSmmerce, as ourselves, is consider
ed of paramount iinpot tame in this Congress. and its
regtlatium - occupiet a large share of our labors and
anxious delibcratirins. Now China alone is equal in
population. extent; and resources, to the aggregate
amount of all the European nations! This single
empire fronts five !thousand miles upon the Pacific:
opposite to Oregon. Her outline is 12;000 miles.
The area of her territory 5,000.000 square miles, and
her population wee 367,000.000 in the year 1813.
No people amoneet mankind surpass the Chinese in
civilization, knowledge and intelligence. Their ag
ricu'ture sends usi tea, sugar, raw silk, spices, dyes,
fruits and liquord—their manufactures furnish for
. traffic, procelaie, lints, crapes, nankeens, satins, eel
vets, calicoes, brocades, mat carpeting, ivory, fine
woolens, toys. firel works, metals, white copper, the
ISM iron of Emmen, tin, gums and paints, and other
articles infiniteird number. and excellent in quality.
•
For these hive for barter, the provisions, the
lead; the raw cotttin, the tobacco, the lumber, furs, and
fish of the Valleylof the Mississippi and Oregon—
besides China, are many equally prolific countries—
Japan, with a population of 41,000,000, Cochin Chi
,as 31,000.000, Barmah 13.000,000, and British In
dia 195,000,0001 All these great ccuntties lying
around the Pecitc connected with Oregon by that
glorious ocean, knrl by Oregon with us, swarming
with 650,000m0 of people, and teeming with ele
meats of commerce in infinite exuberance. All these
• people, and countries, and elements, are awaiting the
.arrival .of the Ainerican people end American com
merce. about to descend to the Pacific by the great
Columbia, and leap in radiant lines from our western
shores across its bosom. Our trade beyond the
Southern Capes St present languishes under the supe
rior advantages ebjoyed by Great Britain, whose India
. possessions stupefy to China raw cotton, indigo, opi•
- um, rims, and other agricultural products. From
Oregon we can successfully meet and overthrow ibis
British monopoly. Without dwelling upon venire lars—what does ri History teach us with regard to the
trade of the Oriental world? In ancient days it made
, for itself Merlond routes. pecpled tile deserts with
cities, and smattered barbarism in its front. It gave
• splendor to the dreecian monarchies in Syria and in
Egypt—lt rmar:ded the downfall of Constantinople
for teeny centunes—lt raised. Venice from an obscure
republio to tbe tank of the most patent kingdoms.
How hive Portugal, Spain, Netherlands, and France,
been exalted by Its possession and depressed by its
• loss!
Finally, it has' now become the monopoly of British
military and medal supremacy. Hence does she draW
that infinite we/Ith ,which enables her to cover the
, stlube with her rhalitleal net work, to ruffle all nations
by her arroganCe, and to dazzle mankind with her,
blaring gtesteess—and where is the only rival whose
position and strength marks her as the next in order
to grasp this brilliant destiny, and wrench it from
the British Lion? It is the American Republic,
stretching acrost the continent, and receiving through
Oregon the golden stream of Oriental commerce! At
present the Oriental trade of Great Britain is more
lucrative to he k ,
l., and larger in amount, than all dm
commerce of t Americans. ,Whilst England con
trolv 'lndia, arid all the routes of commerce as she
now does, and trade to China continues to traverse
the long routes passing beneath the equator, American
trade, elsewhere so thrifty, must continue to languish.
The American trade to all countries beyond the south
aro capes. in 144,

Exporti, 6,083,044
an unhealthy trade with the balance of 3,081,115
stalest us. This trade too is confined chiefly to
.teas for horns consumption and it will soon happen
that we too, like the rest of the Atlantic nations will
'receive our so plies, cf Oriental productions through
the ports of litain. 'What withholds us, then, from
turning our' en rgies towards the setting san!—from
finding there t. e great remedy of new markets, and
a new and infinite commerce, matching the wants
and energies Of our great peoplely'where the great
arteries of the continent, tho Missouri and. the Col.,
utabia, lend their navigable, channels , tri onr inland
transports? How entirely. practicable is this „great
change in the Channels of commerce; and how close
upon the titneaof its succesful consummation, let us
learn from factS anti events starting up :beneath our,
eye. A. greatioSerland commerce is now in active'
existence tbrongh the heart of the Russian Empire,
between Kiathica, upon the northern frontier of China,
end St. Petersburg. • The amount of this commerce
La 1843 is thu given in the Russian reports-
Imports fiom Chine, 1.12,038.054
Elliott* to China, 8,885,805
IBS
Kiatka Is in latitude 50 deg. 21 min. north, and St.
Petersburgh in 59 deg. 56 min. The distance between
these two points 45,000 idles of land travel, in a hr
perborean. climate! 'Yet furs, - Russia leather, bides,
linens, cotters ind'wonlen feeder are exported by this
channel fronftbe Baltic. In return is received 4,000,-
000 pounds.of teat 'valued at $5,969,350, silks,
shawls, and other fabricks, at $6,068,705
Is thegreat enterprise of the American people then
equal, in the face of this Russian success, to the small
achievement of connecting the navigable waters of the
•Missouri anti Columbia, and prosecuting direct trade
betwen the valley of the Mississippi and munificent
China? The memorial from Oregon upon our tables,
informs us that already 10,000 Americans have open.
ed a wagon road from the Missouri to the Pacific—
thst they bave established a government. made laws.
and originated agriculture, commerce, and manufac
tures—that they have elected there asiemestie seapoit
upon our western seitimard.
Our fleet of whale ships is in occupation of the North
Pacific between Oregon and Asia. Sandwich
Islands have become an independent and commercial
nation under tte influence and by the counsel of Amer.
ican citizens residents therein. China has recently
made with us a treaty full of amicable advancements.
Mall these concurring events portend nothing, 'Can
neither these , nor the pet itirmof our insulated and ban
ished countrymert in Oregon ,Mw . want of new markets
by the people of the interior, nor the danger to them,
to our country and to our honor limn tho evidently
'rammed arrogsnce of England, stir us to action and
kindle our lethngatic patrietisrrl Here is the state-
Mont 'of Sin vigorous and valuable whOling'bnsiness
now
,prosecitted by Our citizens chiefly in the Noah
Pacific and for which we have refused to create a do
mestic port on that Ocean:-
675 vessels, of
Seamen,
Capital, $16.429.620
Proceeds, 19,610.474
Total value, $36,040.033
Do not such immense national interests and .these
demand our prompt end efficient attentiond or has wis
dom fled from our councils and does lethergy and timid
icy reign in sombre; dominion in this Representative
Hall of 20,000,000 . of breve freemen'? The hawk
eyed rulers of England embracing the whole world
in their plans of dominion, wotch all these events and
ere prepared at ones to push their empire to its cul
minating climax and to crush every danger, that may
show its head. Hence, a few years since, having no
bouer excuse for waging a war upon China than the
' refusal of her Emperor to permit her to poison his
subjects withopium; she availed herself of that. and
forced him by the thunders of her cannon, to open the
Chinese ports to the introduction of that destructive
drug, and to pay her an indemnity of $25,000,000 fur
the task.
• • .
We commisserate with feelings bordering on piteous
contempt. the effeminacy and want of public spith of
China, in submitting to this, indignity, this outrageous
wronei but what is the difference between China and
the United States? We have submitted to the dis
membetment of Maine and Mossachossets, and hare

The gradual amelioration of the criminal laws ofTen•
online, erected as it has been, through slow degrees
for many years, has added another proofto thosetdntwn
from other countries in favor of the abolition of 'ciPi;
tel punishments. Instead of weakening it hes evident-
ly increased the actual Strength of thegovernmein
drawing around it the rational approbation of society
and by the explosion of those ancient birbaritiea which
are now justly regarded with the deepest abhorrence.
Nor has this relaxation tended in the slightest degree
to the increase of crimes. The long continued confine
meets of the prison house and the degindation of be
coming the humble vassals of the turnkey, that night
ly locks them in their solitary cell. has done more in
deterring from the commission ofcrimes than the fear
of death, which we always behold in distantobacurity.
''ln nil cases 'authorized by law and justified by their
circumstances, I shall, with the greatest pleasure-com
mute the punishment from death to imprisonment for
life in the penitentiary.
Fromthe Exeter (England)limes,
CAPITAL PUNISHMENTS.
Is the punishment of death necessary in cues of
murder? Does the: safety of the community require
the demand of blond for 'blood? I believe not. I
have no faithin the gallows: it has destroyed thou- I
sands_of lives; .I do not believe it has saved one.
10f coulee 1 cannot prove a negative; but I can ad
duce .a great variety of statistics beating an the sub
ject, whose unitedlendency is to show the notteffi
eacy of public executions as a preventive of crime,
end .to connect, them rather with its acceleration.
Are executions altuncluntl crime is sure to. be on
the increase. Asst executions rare? crime is invari•
ably found to be diminishing. This is equally true
of mutcler as of other offences. There are fewer
murders perpetrated when executions are rare than
when they are abundant. The lives of society are
more secure when the hangman's office is a sinecure
than when he is in full work. And this holds good
not merely in reference to one countrlt, and one peri•
rel,hut to all countries and every parsed, whose stn.
tittles on the subject I have tad an 'opportunity of
examining. Dow are these Jeers to he reconciled
with the supposed sanctifying or restraining influen
cea of the gallows? I pause for a reply, Meanwhile
I proceed to the historical facts and statistics which
in my Lorne( communication on this subject 'promis
ed , o adduce.
Rome—History records that, for two centuries and
a half, throughout the better age of the Ronan recruit
lie, rho punishment of death was expressly forbid
den by the famous ['urchin law, passed in the four
hundred and fifty fourth year of Rome, by the tribune
l'orcius lecca. "In this period." writes Blackstone, '
-the republic fl oat isheri, under the emperor's severe'
punishments were revived, and then the rmpire fell."
Russia.—The. punishment of death was removed a
century ago from the criminal rode of Roasts by the
Empress Efizabeth, and from that day to the present
only two occasions have occurred in which it has been
inflicted; yet In Russia, notwithstanding the you mul
titudes and rude character of thepopuletion, murders
are comparative infrequent. "Blush! ye countries of
a longer civilization,' says a Russian writer, -that
Bassin should teach you the celestial principle of refor
ming depraved mot als; not by the sanguinary execu
lion of inexorable just'. e, but by the mild and divine
precepts of heavenly mercy."'
Tuscany—Here we find k
LS MO4 OW isfactory proofs
of the advantages arising front the aboliton of capital
punishment. The Grand Duke Leopold ascended the
throne in 1765. stud, governed by the enlightened cnun
, sets of Beccarin, Ito abolished entirely the punishment
of death. What was the r ffeett At the end of twenty
years after the abolition the grand ditke thus express
ed himself:—"With the utmost satisfaction to 'vie p• .
terms! feelings, we have at length perceived that the
mitigationpf punishment, joined to a most scrupulous
attention to prevent crime, and also a great dispatch
in the trials, together with a certainty of punishment to
real delimptents. has, instead of ittereesine the number i
of ci Imes, considetbly diminished that of smaller one.,
and rendered those of as atrocious notate very
rare."r
, I
Bonstsxy.—Hare, during the seven years that the
late Sir James Mackintosh presided as Judge in the
Supreme Court, capital punishment was entirely,
abolished. The result was, as stated by himself in
his Farwell charge to the grand jury of the Supreme
Court, July 20th. 1811—that, while during the pre.
ceding seven years there had been twelve executions
and sixteen convictions for murder, during the seven
years of Sir James's presidency, the convictions fur
murder were only six. The munlers, therefOre, In
the former period, when capital punishments were in
active operation, were very nearly as three to one to
tiro., in the latter, in which to capital punishment

Here do we see that in the five years ending in 1834
when there was not a single execution. them were only
twenty convictions for murder, whereas in the sumo
period ending 1804, when there were two hundred
and thirty five executions for different crimes, there
were one hundred and fifty convictions for murder.—
How plainly does this show the tendency of capital
punishment to promote rather than check the crime of
murder!
England and Wales.—ln nur own c, entry the
same results are observable. The fultuwing is from

Precisely the same result Is shown by a return af
a more recent date f No. 618), moved for by Mr E•
watt, and published in 1893. This return comprises
seven tables, the first of which is a "statement of the
number of persons committed and executed for mur—
der in England and Wales, daring the 30 years, end•
ing in 1842, divided into periods of six years each."
Thefulluwing is the result:—

1830 75 411
1836 74 413
41 4812 50 351
How will the advocates of capital punishment re.
concile this with their favorite notion, that executions
for murder prevent murder. Facts and figures are
against them: for we find that in the list six years of
the above statement, with only 50 executions, the
commitments for murder were fewer by. 62 than in
the six years ending in 1836, with 74 executions; few.
er by 60 than in the six years ending in 1830, With 75
executions; fewer by 56 than iu the six yearaendieg in
1824, with 91 executions; and fewer by 93 than in the
six years ending in 1818, when the executions amount•
ed to 122. But enough. Surely, sir, in these and
the foregoing facts, 1 have a sub•etratum sufficiently
firm and broad to justify the opinion with the expres•
Ann of which I commenced this communication.
For the Pail
have gone to many and widely different countries for
my calculations. I have taken in longperiodi of time
in my comparisons, and whether we go to north
south, east, or west, the same fact* amnia out heroin
us—where executions abound, there is the crime of
murder most prevalent; where E.:notions are rare,
there is the crime of murder found to' be unfrequent.
Hdw, then, can we escape the inference, that capi
tal punishment might not only with safety, but with
advantage, be abolished, even fur murder?
The feats of those who would continue the pun
islitnent have often been shown in cases not dissimilar,
to'he groandlets.
.Timn was when it was thought the
safety of .the 'cummnnity required that witchcraft
should be capitally punished; the experience of a can.
wry and half has shown this to havu heed a delusion.
Before the year 1810 It was thought the safety of the
community required tliat - the crime of stealing from a
shop, to the value of 5s should be punisbet . I with death;
experience has shown this to hive been a delusion:l
Before 1829 it was thought the safety of the comMuni
ty required that forgery should be punished with death
experience has shown this to have beena delusion --;
The same may be said of many other crimes once,
but now no longer, capitally punished; and the same
will have. I am persuaded, to bo.said of the crime of
murder, whenever a like test can be applied. God
grant that it may be soon! FRANCIS BISHOP.
