avoid all imputation of unfairness, any

that deep feelings and impressions are be

against
the criminal; they are like witnesses, will
he a tittle Jkortietimes; they prove at least as
mai against. this Burleigh as for him.
Witness the case of Luzerne county; Where
there has been seven nittrders, but nixese
cutions=-Where two of the rascals runaway
and the rest giit pardoned by some - means--
$
and compare it with Susq ehanna, Where
the execution of J. T. so e two or three
years before the largest hu of our people
were born, and whom ano er half never
heard of (being new emigre ts.) Why it so
purified the moral atmosphere, that nobody
who ever'breathes it can commit murder;
though some scape-grace,: i doubtless , from
Luzerne, did attempt it updn our neighbor
Etheridge ;• and there has heen a retnarka
ble fact that a man was mUrdered so near
the line that you could see across; so near
as almost to make it a limner of doubt which
side it was; but it turned oat tote iu NVy-
. ,
Caning. What a singular atmosphere this
moral atmosphere—it can't circulate over
such a surveyed line—it understands Geog
raphy, and what is of morel:consequence it
has a knowledge of the thejry of moral pro
portions ; it understands th rule of three in
Jurisprudence. If one execition in Susque
hanna produced such an ruence, seven
would produce seven times as much; con
sequently the Legislature opght to increase
the number ad infinitum. f one produced
20 years exemption from erne, seven would
produce 140. We ought td go to work im
mediately and execute.eno h, say 100—it
- u
would gives 2000 years o purity !

7. Public exhibitions of t is kind have a
I salutary tendency, making people familiar
with the rack, with the gallows, arid the
-guillotine; is purifying, elpvating, benig
nant; we ought to return to them at once;
they were wonderfully beneficial in that
forge and manufactory of 'civil, the French
Revolution. They had a salutary influence
in the case of Jesus ; his dePth was not con
cluded upon in the synagogde of anti-christ ;
it went through all the forios of law-:-we
have a law, and it must • saftained- , 4e
most die! I
ie. We have no right to raw arguments
from expediency; God so 1 rdained . in his
written word. I'll admit trio cavilling, or
gainsaying of that, in my tleminions ; there
is no use of any argument-it is so written.
9.1 dread the ,lawless spirit that is pre
vailing; that undertakes to uestion the Di
vine right, the infallibility o the Legislaturel
when they made this law;, ut I shall ques , I
-don both if they repeal it. jOur laws must
''be enforced ; we must never forgive or par
don
as they do in Luzerne.l Jesus forgave
his enemies—be prayed td his Father 10
forgive them—surely he mu t have been op
erated upon , by some imp er influences ;
not exactly the influences i my fifth argu
ment that operated upon urleigh, Tyson,
Matthias, O'Sullivan, Ar.e., who are so im
pious as to attempt to imitale his example.
10. The lariguage 1" blixid for blood"
must be taken literal' ; a6ne of your an
alogies; none 'of your oubis; Bone of your
criticisms. We Judg s soraetimes Under- I
take to criticise status ; ti compare them
with constitutions, - With fundamental laws,
with other parts of the mil law ;we some- I
times show their in . nsistency with one
another, with these org Mellows, with, prin
ciples ; but if you -do tl at njith laws that arts,
far. more important, ou uplai such usurpa
ltions ! • 1
!' 11. The power of pa doting crime exists; I
lit must exist; therefore there is no safety iii i
limprisonmedt. Treason, obbery, crimes
unfit for these pages may e pardoned, al- !
though infinitely worse th n murder, but I
murder never—he must de i He whose
love is imperishable, tin tterable, inex
•tinguishable—lie whose *inpathies. were
with the friendless, the folsaken, who re-I
joiceth more over one sinner that repented)
than 99 who need no repentance—He Whose
mission was to the publicnds and sinners—
He who not only pardonetl . the malfactor,
but the men whose hands %fere reeking with
his-blood—He who taught as to pray, Fath
-er,'forgive 175 our trespasses, not as thou for
givest us, (for few could do this, if any,)but
as WE forgire-those that tre'spass against, us.
It is a vile prayer, that ; a! try foolish pray.

Now if this is not a fair . tatement of the
Judge's argument, .1
,woul thank you, or
Judge Jessup, or some olher advocate of
strangling and breaking necks for crime, to
correct me. I have yet much- to say upon
this subject—something as lamother, for my
son and my daughter are th yet living;
nto
something as a child, for v mother is sub
' ject in common with all of . s•to these laws.
I was going to say that Fathers should Speak,
,that Christians should spenk, because not

The Judge may talk as he pleases, but nei- refi '

matter, that, the market is •overstocked. I
deny their ezclustve patent; it ' is contested
in the Court opleaven. It is ao invention
of theirs; it was designed and commenced
by the author of evil. Individuals use it
everywhere, and with .a better right, more
reason, and more justification. ' Suicides in
France are common events; 1747 instances
in a single year (1839) show that the udge

" The doctrine of 'one term' finds but little

abuse yOur own partner !' We know of n?
one, who, within the last ten- years, haibeen

a Candidate in our county Convention for
re-noinibation, except Geo. Fuller, now sen
ior editor of the Democrat. Howas ejected
from the Prothonotnry's office, on the one
term principle to make room for John Blau
ding. Aside from one or two -instances of
the exercise of a somewhat arbitrary dispo
sition, of which we have heard, we never
esteemed him an "unworthy officer!" It is
'unkind, to say the least, fur one partner to
be casting reflections upon his associate,
though we are under little obligation to de
fetid him against family assaults.
