The I)cat!t Iciialy. A few weeks since, iu the legislature of ?ew York,a bill was intreduced for a change in the law iu relation to capital offences. This bill provides that no person, convicted of a capital crime, shall be executed until the expiration of one year from the time of such conviction, and not then, unless the Governor shall issue his warrant direc ting such execution. Iu the meantime, the convict i-to be subjected tosolitary confine ment and hard labor until the day of his execution. While the bill does not pro pose the immediate abolition of the death penalty, it would, nevertheless, should it become a law, practically attain that ob ject. A similar statute has been in force in Maine, since the year 1844 ; and during that time a period of sixteen years not a solitary execution has taken place under the law of that Stafe. We have not no ticed what action has been taken upon the bill introduced into the legislature of New Y ork, but we trust it may soon become the law of that State, and shall then be glad to sec our own State emulate the example. If there is but one black spot upon the escutcheon of our glorious old Common wealth, its carse may be traced to the fact that our laws still sanction the infliction of .capital punishment. We regard this peculiarity iu our criminal code as un worthy of our people ; unworthy of the age in which we live; unworthy of any Christian community. It might do in an age of barbarism indeed, fur nothing bet ter could be expected from brutalized hu manity; but in this land of Gospel Lib erty and Civilization, it is monstrous ! The history of Pennsylvania proves that she has done much to bring about en-lightened criminal legislation, not only within her own borders, but elsewhere. Jt wa-siu Pennsylvania that improvements in the penal laws of England first oiiiuu ted. It wa? here those improvements were tested, before their adoption in Europe with such signal success. It was under the enlightened humanity of our own Wil liam Penn, that the death-penalty was blotted out in all cases but murder and this, too, at a period when the laws of the Mather country punished near two hun dred offence? with the taking of life. Emulating the example of Penn, our leg islature in 17U4 restricted the death-penalty to mmder.in the first degree, k?aving all Inferior homicides punishable only by kolitary confinement at hard labor : and ! some years later was abolished the revolt ing practice ofcpublic executions. At this point ourlegislattrrc stopped and it stop ped too soon. Since that period, philan-thr-;y has been vigilaut and unceasing in its efforts to secure the total abolition of capital punishment, But those efforts in a good cause have uot been successful. i'he death k j - - ....v .7.

From the account? in our Western Pennsylvania exchanges, it appears to be a fixed fact that the oil pro duced in Venango and other counties along the Allegheny river, u destined to become a great and permanent source of wealth In some localities the yield is tremendous..

George 1). Prentice, the M'itty editor of the far-famed Louisville Journal a paper sumcientby pro-slavery- for tho latitude of Kentucky lets off the following spicy ar ticle on the rant and threats of Southern extremists about dissolving the Union aud refusing to trade with the people of the North. The reader we know will agree with us, that, if this article is not in Derby k Jackson's publication entitled "Prcnti eeana," it ought to be : 'Mlur good friend of the Richmond Whig coruiany approves luc ulea ot 'tlie Jormatiou of voluntary associations throughout Virginia and the South, bound together by a common pledge among themselves neither to eat, drink, w ear, bay, or use any article manufactured at, or imported from. theXorth.

Our pood frion.l of the Richmond M'ny will forgive us, if, after ti.iwiig stoou politically shoulder to shoulder lor years, w e now pari stomach to stomach on this question of 'internal improvement.' It is hard to sunder old ties, and our very bowels yearn to be reunited, but then stomachic bit ters give an appetite and promote digestion, anu so we cram the bitter cup to the dregs. There is nobody in the North, worthy of con sideration, that is deadly hostile to this sec tion ot the Lnion. There are a few misgui ded enthusiasts in the Xorth, as there are hot-headed zealots in the South, who make all the alarm and fuss: beyond this, there is ns much brotherly feeling and cordiality of af- icciion rjeiwecn ine rree and slave Mates, as there ever has been since the formation of the Constitution, and we verily believe, more fra tcrnitv of interest." Col. A. G. Curtin. The People's State Convention is rap idly approaching, an! the claims of the various aspirants for the Gubernatorial nomination are being duly considered, ex tolled and set forth. Our readers well know that we have long since enlisted under the banner of Col. Andrew Gregg Curtin. We have supported him for the nomination. e hope soou to support him for the office. Let the Convention do as it may let the nomination fall upon whomsoever it will our humble influence will, of course, be exerted in favor of the nominee; but "at Ihe present speaking," we -wish it to be distinctly understood that we are fur Cur tin. II e is our choice ; he our candidate. Nor is our preference, as we think, without reasou. Viewed from any stand point, Col. Curtin is the equal of any of his competitors for the nomination; in many respects, availability among the rest, he is their superior. Wc say this not to disparage anybody ; but because it is true. As a private individual, Col. Curtin's char acter is without blemish ; as a public ser vant, his acts speak for themselves. The very embodiment of all that is opposed to Bogus Democracy -a man of pleasing ad dress, Cue oratorical powers, aud unques tioned ability, he is a lit exponent of our glorious principles, and the roan above all others to lead the People's Party of Penn sylvania to victory in the coming contest. .. - Jclin W. Forney. The Loco-Focos are rampant over the election of this gentleman as Clerk to the House of Representatives ; and numerous vials of wrath are poured upon his devoted head. Whilst we do not claim Mr. Forney as in any way friendly to the principles of our party, we would, had we been a member of the present Congress, liave voted for him. Wc would have done so, if for no other reason than rs a rebuke to James Buchan an. Wc would have done so to teach that old man that there i a Pennsylvania, and there is a Xorth. If Mr. Forwey has com mitted any crime agaiust Democracy, it is that he has been consistent, which to gen uine Loco-Focoism appears to be an unpar donable sin.
