For lhe Exam-ner. CAPITAL PUNISHMENT. After a lapse of only about five weeks, since the itagedy played off upon John Haggerty, we are called upon to behold lhe same awful rel¬ ic of antiquity, brought down lo us by ouran- ceslorB, repeated upon anoiher poor mortal being. Again, the community sianda upon the point, under the dictates of this ancient law, of taking retribution out of lhe hands of Almighty God, and saying to a convicted crim¬ inal : "Tothat day and to lhat hour, thou mayest live, but no longer." The lime ofllie e.xecution of Haggerty I considered a very suitable poriod for remarks relating to this ancient law, which notwiihsian¬ ding the barbarity of ils e.\ecution, is StiU held sacred amongsl us. After having made a short commencemenl I laid it aside for wantof con¬ fidence in my ability to do jusiice to so ser¬ ious a subject, hoping that thia matter might fall inlo more competent hands. The uiiexpecled result of the trial in our Jate county courl, however, brought it again to my mind; and having lately read a short communicaiion, condemning capital punish¬ ment, ill Mr. ?.lyers' Americaii Press, I be¬ came encouraged to re.sume this subject and biielly slale some of my views thereon; ful¬ ly aware, however, that a great part of my fellow cilizens view the thing in a different light; but at the same time, also, fully satis¬ lied lhat another, and perhaps a still larger, part will agree with me. Whatever others may think on the subject, it is my decided opinion lhat the Legal taking .awayof lhe life of a fellow being is nothing bet¬ ter than downright, cool and deliberate mur¬ der, merely justifiable because it is the lawof theland. Far be it from me to intend lo casl the least lefleclions to those persons, whose painful du¬ ty it becomes upon such occasions to lake an active part Iherein. They are fettered by their oaihs to certain well defined duties, and cer¬ tainly none of the administrators of Jusiice have a right to give way to their private opinions or feelings; ihey must do their duty, iet the consequences be what they may. We find in our law books, and I think it is a settled principle, not only in our own State but also iu the whole civilized world, that only '-unavoidable necessity" can make it justifiable to take away the life of afellow being. I now wouhl ask: Where was the unavoidable necessity of taking tfae life of John Haggerty % Might he not have been imprison¬ ed dnring life, provided such proceedings were sanctioned bylaw. Would not our prisons and prison discipline have been sufficient lo guard the community against his savage and blood thirsty character'.' Where then is the "un¬ avoidable necessity," that because he has comilted an outrage upon the community in the murder of the Fordney family, there¬ fore, under the sanction ofthe law, a cool and deliberate murder must be commitled upon him. It is true, thereare some arguments which maybe produced in favor of capiial punish¬ ment, but however much I may differ wilh others, not one of them is satisfactory to my mind. Perhaps the strongest argument produced i.s, that sentence of lioly scripture, Genesi.s 9. 6. reading thus: "Whoso sheddelh man's blood, by man his blood shall be shed."— This commandment was given to Noah and his SOU.'S immediately after the deluge, and is therefore of great antiquity. I can not possi¬ bly see, why this single sentence, taken oul of the great number of comoiandments and laws given in olden times, is yet held sacred will very properly hesitate to eall a culprit guilty; he will catch at straws, and as long as he can see a mere probabilly of the inno¬ cence of the deceased, he will call him, not guilty. Every observer will know that sometimes cases may and will happen, where the ques¬ tion is only; is the accused the murderer or is he not ? The degree of murder is no question at all. tt has to my recolleotion happened in our own County, that cases of lhat nature have been tried. Cases where the jury could not otherwise but either to sSy: " Guilty of murder in the first Degree" or " not guilty.'' It is in vain, that the president of the court, in charging the jury tella them, that doubts by them entertained must be reasonable doubis; every juror must himseU judge, tvhether his doubts are reasonable or not; and most ceriainly the extreme necessity of the penalty is a very strong reason for modifying snch doubts. Had lhe doubts which very probably existed in the Alabama case of Boy- iiigton, who several years ago was tried and executed, and whose innocence lately came to light, been more seriously treated, that poor, unfortunate and persecuted person might yet hve. How others think or do, I do not know, but most certainly, I as a juror would for the sake of the mere probability of commiting irreparable injustice call doubis reasonable, which I would hesitate to call so if any other penalty were the result. The consequence therefore of lhis severity of the punishment in such a case is, that fre¬ tiuently the real murdereris thrown again up¬ on the community, perhaps for repeating the crime upon some other individual, which a confinement during life would have preven¬ led. Again, let any one, favorable to capital punishment imagine himself in the jury bo.v, let him there assist in condemning an accused person lo the gallows, let such accused per¬ son be sentenced and actually executed, and let him then imagine that perhaps years thereafter, (as in the Alabama case) the in¬ nocence of such person fully and satisfactorily appears; would not a thought of this afler¬ wards continually harrass his mind during the remainder of his life ? It seems to me, I, in such a case would never thereafter come to a full peace of mind. Far different would it be if an innocent per¬ son should be condemned to confinement du¬ ring life. Hard as the case might be, yet if such peison's innocence could ever be estab¬ lished during his lifetime, reparation in some measure might yet be made for the injury done to him. 1 have sometimes also heard the remark made as an argument, lhat confinement du¬ ring life would yet create expences upon the county in which Ihe offence was committed for the maintenance of the convict, which his e.vecution would avoid. But as I can not think it possible, that any man of sane mind can in real earnest speculate in dollars and cents with the life of a fellow being, I do not think it worlh while to make one single fuither reraark thereon. R. CO.MMCNICATED. The free communication of thoughts and opinions is on one of the most invaluable rights of man, says our constitution; for cor¬ rect information is the soul of our principles. But when Ihoughts and opinions are commu¬ nicated through our public prinis which have an evident tendency to misinform and embar¬ rass the public mind—which are couched in language extremely personal and founded in aciual untruth—this highly valuable right is of no use. E.vperience has proved the ill ef¬ fects in society of the personal abuse indul¬ ged in by some political writers and editors of newspapers on the eveof every general Elec¬ tion, whereby the friendly associatioas in life in many instances are suspended if not aclu¬ ally destroyed; for there are few families who ate not connected with others (and it is a very natural and fortunate circumsiance for we are the preaeut complexion of the U. S. Senate there is no hope that a repeal ot the ruinous policy of lhe Placquemine President and his satellites could be successful, even if carried by the Whig House of Representatives. Let, then, every sincere patriot evince a determi¬ nation to sustain home industry, by giving a decided prefereiice to the products of the American loora. We have seen many beanti¬ ful speciiriens of the various American fabrics of cotton, wool and silk, which for color, finish and durability, will successfully compare wilh the best manufactures of Europe. Even the rabid politicians of the South will, ere long, thank us for such consistent patriotism; for we observe by late advices, that England, de¬ termined at the earliest period to prove her holy horror for American s!avery,is projecting new schemes of colonization, with the avow¬ ed purpose of excluding from her market 'the blood stained products of the guility South.' Where then will our cotton growing neighbors find sale for their great staple, if, in their hos¬ tility to the 'cotlon lords of Lowell'—as Mr. McDuflie sneeringly calls their best customers —they destroy their home marketl—Norih American.

The Elecluary will cause but liule Irouble or inconvenience when taken, and in any case, no matier how bnd, will perfeci a lolal and permanent extirpauon of Piles, and ils altendant ail¬ ments. In Bosion, in the shorl space of two yenra, „„„„ „„ NEARLY THEEE THOUSAND SURE CURES were effecled, nnd in New York there have been, we donot hesitate to sny, five timea lhat number achieved iu ihe same space of lime.

His sludiuus habiis al College induced lhe terrible cnmplainl, and it was to relieve his own suiferings lhat he expended the lime and sludy which produced a blessing lo lhe communiiy at large in lhe shape of the Elecluary. There are many causes of Piles. In some persons the complamt is a bequest from llieir anceslors ; lhe greaiest cause of Piles is die use of violoiii piirgalives iu the shnpe of pills!

Numerous ense.s ol n cure by ONE BOX have come lo our knowledge, but it must nol be presumed thai where an individual has been afllicted nearly half lhe term of a natinnl life, that a single bux will nlwnys produce a cure. Iu New Jersey, a liirnicr who had endu¬ red lhe torlure for twelve yenrs, was entirely resiorcd alier using only lliree boxes, which cosl him as many dollars, lie had previously expended ns many htiudred in a search altera remody. A gentleman of New York wns rndicnily cured by HALF A BOX, and eight persons to whom he recommended lho medicino were also cured, not n single Ihilure hnving occurred. We challenge a corresponding proof of success in any other preparation for the Piles or any oilier similar complaint. Another man of high standing, who, afler enduring lhe very worst species ol Piles for fourteen years, and expended the great¬ er portion of his substance with ihc Faculty, in d- 'nir concluded to try the Elecluary. THREE BOXES cured him. His name can he furnished by .lie proprietor. A remedy like this, invaluable and isolated, should nol be suspiciously viewed because it is adveriised. 11 is the only melhod of mnking lhe public in remote vicinilies aware of ils exisience.

By carefuUy reading the New Testament, w-e liud that nearly the whole Jewish law is abolished. Read the well known .sermon of Jesus Christ in the Mount, (Math 5, 6 and 7,j and you will find it full of seniiments contra¬ dicting and abolishing the old Jewish law, and in particular the law of retaliation. And what is meant by the words, ''Ven- gence is mine, I will repay," transcribed by St. Paul in his Epislle lo lhe Romans, 12, 19 from Deut. 32, 35. It may here beobjecled, that capital punish¬ ment isnot vengeance ; but if it is not ven¬ geance it most ceriainly is retaliation ; it is re¬ payment. But God said : " 1 will repay." I theiefore can hardly see, how poor frail man can have lhe liardihooil lo lake it into his own hands, and to perform an oliice, claimed by God himself. All penalties ought lo bc infiicted with a view of reform, and as a warning tu olherp, hut never with a sjiiiil of rcveiig**. never willt the view to retaliate; and certainly also, nev¬ er for the sake oipunishtticnl. 'The i-xecu- litiii of a man will never bring liis viciim lo life, ni'ilher will it do any gooil 10 the victim's lainily; lhe acl is do.ie and no revenue, no relalinlion, and no punishment under the con¬ trol of man, can make it undone. It seems to me, there are a great many rea¬ sons why this old law, however suited Io Iho sjiiiilof lhe limes in which il was given, ou^'lu 10 be abolished. E In every case of capital punishment, I wnuld usk : Do you intend lo send this cul¬ prit to hell, or, if ihi^ phrase seems lo be ob- jectional, Will you doom, him Io die w-ith his sins and crimes upon his head and hurry him 10 endless misery and damnalioii ] Now doublle.ss the answer will be : No, we will give him time enouah to repent, time enough for being convened, nr, in oiher words, to be¬ come a penitent christian. Will yon llien. on the oiher hand, strangle, or oiherw-ise kill, a good christian, because he nnce. teas a profli¬ gate sinner'? Certainly, no other case is pos¬ sible. Such a person will be hurled Io his last account before his maker, either a con¬ verted christian or oiherwise, wilh all his sins and crimes upon his head in an unconverted state. Ought not this alone be sufiicient to raake any advocate of this awful law to pause to tremble, and lo reflect? It is said, '¦ Capital punishment is a neoes¬ sary warning to others" ; ' That if it was abol¬ ished, murder would ihereby mutliply, and the comraunity would be endangered "! This I unequivocally deny. Experience during centuries has proven, that it has never had the effeot of deterring others from commitiing similar crimes. Look at England: There is hardly a country in lhe civilized world where capital punishment is so frequently infiioted as in England, and yet the crime for which one has suffered, is frora time to time repeat¬ ed. Go back some twenty years in our own county, and you will see, that in our very city of Lancaster, on the very same day when John Lechler was executed, almost in sight of the Gallows, a coldblooded murder was com¬ mitted by John Wilson. Go back for a few months only, to last December, the time when John Haggerty was imprisoned under an ex¬ tremely great probability of being convicted, and we see another murder connected with robbery commiited by that unhappy wretch Ja^f " "°''' ''"^"'nS his doom in our county Now where is the effect of Johu Lechler's c.xeculion upon J. Wdson, and what effect had the precarious st-dte of John Haggertv upon our present victim of the law "i Evi¬ dently, It did not operate on either of them as a warning example. It will be admitted, that the certainty of puuishnient, (if I am permitted after what 1 have said before to make nse of this term) is common acquaintance as neighbors &c. To suppose that either party derived any sol¬ id and permanent benefit from this practice, would be an acknowledgement of depraved raorals; or at least very bad tasle, and as neither is the case with the bulk of the politi¬ cal comraunity, the continuance of the abuse of the private characier of those who are an ornament to society and the parly to whioh they belong can only be owing to a want of e.xertion on the part of the wise and virluous in discountenancing the ebulitions and passions of the inconsiderate and vicious; for lhe only effectual remedy is the good sense and virtue of the community. Let, then, the good sense and virtue of the community be brought into active use in promoting and sustaining the morals and iniegrity of the press.

Uiuier lhis caption, a. Bosion paper .»talcs llie fael lhat oneof their Iron Works had given an order for 50,000 Ions of Piclou Coal—aboul two and a half per cent, on the probable an- thiacile trade for the year 1317 I A lurther scrutiny will show lhat the above scheme of Polk, Dallas and Walker is now silently, but rapidly, working lhe downfall of American in¬ dustry. Among the items of British imports, we find in the single article of calicoes, printed and plain, anjncreaseof 31,000,000 yards over those of 1846; being more than three fold the entire quantity received last year, under the Tariffof 1842. Nor is this all. The same sui¬ cidal act admits so many foreign fabrics, snch as alpacas, mouselinesde laine, ginghams, &c. &c.: lo interfere with the products of our own mills, for the special benefit of the millionaires of Manchester, that it ia rapidily driving our small manufaciurers out of lhe home markel, and lessening the number of operatives em¬ ployed in the larger establishments. Again—in iron of 'light draught,' (small sizes, whose value consists chiefiy in labor) the import of New York alone, last spring, was 52,000 tons, beingan increase of 300 per cent- thus destroying the home manufacture of those indispensable articles. But forthe rail¬ road mania now raging in England, by which rails are kept at a very high price there, bo as to permit our own manufacturers to relain the home market for that article at present, the iron trade of the United Slates must have suf¬ fered the fate so clearly demonstrated in our colnmns last year by Mr. Cresson,in his letter to Hon. T. Butler King, of Georgia. From the united operation of e.veessive imporlBtions Ei'Eiiy iro.ii.ri.rs' puiEJt^u. Dll. II. LE UEF/S PERSIAN FEII.UE YEGET.WLE PILLS.

Dr. Lo Ree—Sir: I havc the pleasure to inforni you that my health has greatly improved since I be¬ gan taking your Pills. In January I was given up by my physicians, who said it was impossible for me to live. I had subjected myselfto all kinds of treat ment, but I seemed to grow worse rather than bet¬ ter. On account of my gradual decline, ond obsti¬ nacy ofihe disease, they despaired of ever restoring me to health. Sinee 1 have commenced taking the PERSIAN PILLS, my appetite has greally in¬ creased—strength is fast laking the place of weak¬ ness, and the regularities of nature have been re¬ stored.

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT. After a lapse of only about five weeks, since the itagedy played off upon John Haggerty, we are called upon to behold lhe same awful rel¬ ic of antiquity, brought down lo us by ouran- ceslorB, repeated upon anoiher poor mortal being. Again, the community sianda upon the point, under the dictates of this ancient law, of taking retribution out of lhe hands of Almighty God, and saying to a convicted crim¬ inal : "Tothat day and to lhat hour, thou mayest live, but no longer."
The lime ofllie e.xecution of Haggerty I considered a very suitable poriod for remarks relating to this ancient law, which notwiihsian¬ ding the barbarity of ils e.\ecution, is StiU held sacred amongsl us. After having made a short commencemenl I laid it aside for wantof con¬ fidence in my ability to do jusiice to so ser¬ ious a subject, hoping that thia matter might fall inlo more competent hands.
The uiiexpecled result of the trial in our Jate county courl, however, brought it again to my mind; and having lately read a short communicaiion, condemning capital punish¬ ment, ill Mr. ?.lyers' Americaii Press, I be¬ came encouraged to re.sume this subject and biielly slale some of my views thereon; ful¬ ly aware, however, that a great part of my fellow cilizens view the thing in a different light; but at the same time, also, fully satis¬ lied lhat another, and perhaps a still larger, part will agree with me.
Whatever others may think on the subject, it is my decided opinion lhat the Legal taking .awayof lhe life of a fellow being is nothing bet¬ ter than downright, cool and deliberate mur¬ der, merely justifiable because it is the lawof theland.
Far be it from me to intend lo casl the least lefleclions to those persons, whose painful du¬ ty it becomes upon such occasions to lake an active part Iherein. They are fettered by their oaihs to certain well defined duties, and cer¬ tainly none of the administrators of Jusiice have a right to give way to their private opinions or feelings; ihey must do their duty, iet the consequences be what they may.
We find in our law books, and I think it is a settled principle, not only in our own State but also iu the whole civilized world, that only '-unavoidable necessity" can make it justifiable to take away the life of afellow being. I now wouhl ask: Where was the unavoidable necessity of taking tfae life of John Haggerty % Might he not have been imprison¬ ed dnring life, provided such proceedings were sanctioned bylaw. Would not our prisons and prison discipline have been sufficient lo guard the community against his savage and blood thirsty character'.' Where then is the "un¬ avoidable necessity," that because he has comilted an outrage upon the community in the murder of the Fordney family, there¬ fore, under the sanction ofthe law, a cool and deliberate murder must be commitled upon him.
It is true, thereare some arguments which maybe produced in favor of capiial punish¬ ment, but however much I may differ wilh others, not one of them is satisfactory to my mind.
Perhaps the strongest argument produced i.s, that sentence of lioly scripture, Genesi.s 9. 6. reading thus: "Whoso sheddelh man's blood, by man his blood shall be shed."— This commandment was given to Noah and his SOU.'S immediately after the deluge, and is therefore of great antiquity. I can not possi¬ bly see, why this single sentence, taken oul of the great number of comoiandments and laws given in olden times, is yet held sacred
will very properly hesitate to eall a culprit guilty; he will catch at straws, and as long as he can see a mere probabilly of the inno¬ cence of the deceased, he will call him, not guilty.
Every observer will know that sometimes cases may and will happen, where the ques¬ tion is only; is the accused the murderer or is he not ? The degree of murder is no question at all. tt has to my recolleotion happened in our own County, that cases of lhat nature have been tried. Cases where the jury could not otherwise but either to sSy: " Guilty of murder in the first Degree" or " not guilty.'' It is in vain, that the president of the court, in charging the jury tella them, that doubts by them entertained must be reasonable doubis; every juror must himseU judge, tvhether his doubts are reasonable or not; and most ceriainly the extreme necessity of the penalty is a very strong reason for modifying snch doubts. Had lhe doubts which very probably existed in the Alabama case of Boy- iiigton, who several years ago was tried and executed, and whose innocence lately came to light, been more seriously treated, that poor, unfortunate and persecuted person might yet hve. How others think or do, I do not know, but most certainly, I as a juror would for the sake of the mere probability of commiting irreparable injustice call doubis reasonable, which I would hesitate to call so if any other penalty were the result.
The consequence therefore of lhis severity of the punishment in such a case is, that fre¬ tiuently the real murdereris thrown again up¬ on the community, perhaps for repeating the crime upon some other individual, which a confinement during life would have preven¬ led.
Again, let any one, favorable to capital punishment imagine himself in the jury bo.v, let him there assist in condemning an accused person lo the gallows, let such accused per¬ son be sentenced and actually executed, and let him then imagine that perhaps years thereafter, (as in the Alabama case) the in¬ nocence of such person fully and satisfactorily appears; would not a thought of this afler¬ wards continually harrass his mind during the remainder of his life ? It seems to me, I, in such a case would never thereafter come to a full peace of mind.
Far different would it be if an innocent per¬ son should be condemned to confinement du¬ ring life. Hard as the case might be, yet if such peison's innocence could ever be estab¬ lished during his lifetime, reparation in some measure might yet be made for the injury done to him.
1 have sometimes also heard the remark made as an argument, lhat confinement du¬ ring life would yet create expences upon the county in which Ihe offence was committed for the maintenance of the convict, which his e.vecution would avoid. But as I can not think it possible, that any man of sane mind can in real earnest speculate in dollars and cents with the life of a fellow being, I do not think it worlh while to make one single fuither reraark thereon.

The free communication of thoughts and opinions is on one of the most invaluable rights of man, says our constitution; for cor¬ rect information is the soul of our principles. But when Ihoughts and opinions are commu¬ nicated through our public prinis which have an evident tendency to misinform and embar¬ rass the public mind—which are couched in language extremely personal and founded in aciual untruth—this highly valuable right is of no use. E.vperience has proved the ill ef¬ fects in society of the personal abuse indul¬ ged in by some political writers and editors of newspapers on the eveof every general Elec¬ tion, whereby the friendly associatioas in life in many instances are suspended if not aclu¬ ally destroyed; for there are few families who ate not connected with others (and it is a very natural and fortunate circumsiance for we are
the preaeut complexion of the U. S. Senate there is no hope that a repeal ot the ruinous policy of lhe Placquemine President and his satellites could be successful, even if carried by the Whig House of Representatives. Let, then, every sincere patriot evince a determi¬ nation to sustain home industry, by giving a decided prefereiice to the products of the American loora. We have seen many beanti¬ ful speciiriens of the various American fabrics of cotton, wool and silk, which for color, finish and durability, will successfully compare wilh the best manufactures of Europe. Even the rabid politicians of the South will, ere long, thank us for such consistent patriotism; for we observe by late advices, that England, de¬ termined at the earliest period to prove her holy horror for American s!avery,is projecting new schemes of colonization, with the avow¬ ed purpose of excluding from her market 'the blood stained products of the guility South.' Where then will our cotton growing neighbors find sale for their great staple, if, in their hos¬ tility to the 'cotlon lords of Lowell'—as Mr. McDuflie sneeringly calls their best customers —they destroy their home marketl—Norih American.

The Elecluary will cause but liule Irouble or inconvenience when taken, and in any case, no matier how bnd, will perfeci a lolal and permanent extirpauon of Piles, and ils altendant ail¬ ments. In Bosion, in the shorl space of two yenra, „„„„ „„
NEARLY THEEE THOUSAND SURE CURES were effecled, nnd in New York there have been, we donot hesitate to sny, five timea lhat number achieved iu ihe same space of lime. 'I'lie inventor of the Electuary, which so thoroughly conquers what has ever (and does now) baflled lhe skill and experience of lhe medical fraiernity, is a practising physician. His sludiuus habiis al College induced lhe terrible cnmplainl, and it was to relieve his own suiferings lhat he expended the lime and sludy which produced a blessing lo lhe communiiy at large in lhe shape of the Elecluary.
There are many causes of Piles. In some persons the complamt is a bequest from llieir anceslors ; lhe greaiest cause of Piles is die use of violoiii piirgalives iu the shnpe of pills! Aloes Ibrm a principal inoredieui of these purging pellels, nnd nloes invurinbiy inflame and irriiale lhe alimenlary canal, weak- en°ihe siomach nnd bowels, nnd shake the whole constiiuiion! Sirong drinks also produce Piles. In¬ acliviiy and long sillim's hnve the same lendency. No mailer wlial the cause, the proprietors of die Eleclaary warranta C'03/f/-£T£ RESTORATION, il the Electunry is used according lo diree¬ lions, and lhe use of il is persisied iu! Numerous ense.s ol n cure by ONE BOX have come lo our knowledge, but it must nol be presumed thai where an individual has been afllicted nearly half lhe term of a natinnl life, that a single bux will nlwnys produce a cure. Iu New Jersey, a liirnicr who had endu¬ red lhe torlure for twelve yenrs, was entirely resiorcd alier using only lliree boxes, which cosl him as many dollars, lie had previously expended ns many htiudred in a search altera remody. A gentleman of New York wns rndicnily cured by HALF A BOX, and eight persons to whom he recommended lho medicino were also cured, not n single Ihilure hnving occurred. We challenge a corresponding proof of success in any other preparation for the Piles or any oilier similar complaint. Another man of high standing, who, afler enduring lhe very worst species ol Piles for fourteen years, and expended the great¬ er portion of his substance with ihc Faculty, in d- 'nir concluded to try the Elecluary. THREE BOXES cured him. His name can he furnished by .lie proprietor.
A remedy like this, invaluable and isolated, should nol be suspiciously viewed because it is adveriised.

In the latler part of Leviticus we find a great number of crimes subjecled to capital punish¬ ment ; Why are they all disregarded, and why not also the commandment given to Noah and his sons'?
By carefuUy reading the New Testament, w-e liud that nearly the whole Jewish law is abolished. Read the well known .sermon of Jesus Christ in the Mount, (Math 5, 6 and 7,j and you will find it full of seniiments contra¬ dicting and abolishing the old Jewish law, and in particular the law of retaliation.
And what is meant by the words, ''Ven- gence is mine, I will repay," transcribed by St. Paul in his Epislle lo lhe Romans, 12, 19 from Deut. 32, 35.
It may here beobjecled, that capital punish¬ ment isnot vengeance ; but if it is not ven¬ geance it most ceriainly is retaliation ; it is re¬ payment. But God said : " 1 will repay." I theiefore can hardly see, how poor frail man can have lhe liardihooil lo lake it into his own hands, and to perform an oliice, claimed by God himself.
All penalties ought lo bc infiicted with a view of reform, and as a warning tu olherp, hut never with a sjiiiil of rcveiig**. never willt the view to retaliate; and certainly also, nev¬ er for the sake oipunishtticnl. 'The i-xecu- litiii of a man will never bring liis viciim lo life, ni'ilher will it do any gooil 10 the victim's lainily; lhe acl is do.ie and no revenue, no relalinlion, and no punishment under the con¬ trol of man, can make it undone.
It seems to me, there are a great many rea¬ sons why this old law, however suited Io Iho sjiiiilof lhe limes in which il was given, ou^'lu 10 be abolished.
E
In
every case of capital punishment, I
wnuld usk : Do you intend lo send this cul¬ prit to hell, or, if ihi^ phrase seems lo be ob- jectional, Will you doom, him Io die w-ith his sins and crimes upon his head and hurry him 10 endless misery and damnalioii ] Now doublle.ss the answer will be : No, we will give him time enouah to repent, time enough for being convened, nr, in oiher words, to be¬ come a penitent christian. Will yon llien. on the oiher hand, strangle, or oiherw-ise kill, a good christian, because he nnce. teas a profli¬ gate sinner'? Certainly, no other case is pos¬ sible. Such a person will be hurled Io his last account before his maker, either a con¬ verted christian or oiherwise, wilh all his sins and crimes upon his head in an unconverted state. Ought not this alone be sufiicient to raake any advocate of this awful law to pause to tremble, and lo reflect?
It is said, '¦ Capital punishment is a neoes¬ sary warning to others" ; ' That if it was abol¬ ished, murder would ihereby mutliply, and the comraunity would be endangered "! This I unequivocally deny. Experience during centuries has proven, that it has never had the effeot of deterring others from commitiing similar crimes. Look at England: There is hardly a country in lhe civilized world where capital punishment is so frequently infiioted as in England, and yet the crime for which one has suffered, is frora time to time repeat¬ ed. Go back some twenty years in our own county, and you will see, that in our very city of Lancaster, on the very same day when John Lechler was executed, almost in sight of the Gallows, a coldblooded murder was com¬ mitted by John Wilson. Go back for a few months only, to last December, the time when John Haggerty was imprisoned under an ex¬ tremely great probability of being convicted, and we see another murder connected with robbery commiited by that unhappy wretch Ja^f " "°''' ''"^"'nS his doom in our county
Now where is the effect of Johu Lechler's c.xeculion upon J. Wdson, and what effect had the precarious st-dte of John Haggertv upon our present victim of the law "i Evi¬ dently, It did not operate on either of them as a warning example.
It will be admitted, that the certainty of puuishnient, (if I am permitted after what 1 have said before to make nse of this term) is
common acquaintance as neighbors &c.
To suppose that either party derived any sol¬ id and permanent benefit from this practice, would be an acknowledgement of depraved raorals; or at least very bad tasle, and as neither is the case with the bulk of the politi¬ cal comraunity, the continuance of the abuse of the private characier of those who are an ornament to society and the parly to whioh they belong can only be owing to a want of e.xertion on the part of the wise and virluous in discountenancing the ebulitions and passions of the inconsiderate and vicious; for lhe only effectual remedy is the good sense and virtue of the community. Let, then, the good sense and virtue of the community be brought into active use in promoting and sustaining the morals and iniegrity of the press. Thus as the seat of government, setting an e.vampie to the whole slate, showing that we can admil amongst each other the fullest developement and exposure of the characters and qualifica¬ tions of the various candidates for public trusls, and that we can indulge in the most free strictures on the writings of the advo cates of those candidales, and yet be able to remain in each others society as members of one common family; andas inoui religion, SI) in our polilics. w-e can hear with compla¬ cency a commeniary on our political doctrines delivered by one of a different persuasion wiihout launching forih inlo a tirade of abuse upon men's private characters, because they nnlorlunately are Whigs. Thereupon, let us frown inlo contempt the conduct of those whose only purpose is lo inflame and mislead wuh personaUcurilily and fidsehood the char¬ acter of ihose w-ho are above Ihe low and grovelling partisan of loeofocoism.

" EOects of tlie Tarifl."
Uiuier lhis caption, a. Bosion paper .»talcs llie fael lhat oneof their Iron Works had given an order for 50,000 Ions of Piclou Coal—aboul two and a half per cent, on the probable an- thiacile trade for the year 1317 I A lurther scrutiny will show lhat the above scheme of Polk, Dallas and Walker is now silently, but rapidly, working lhe downfall of American in¬ dustry. Among the items of British imports, we find in the single article of calicoes, printed and plain, anjncreaseof 31,000,000 yards over those of 1846; being more than three fold the entire quantity received last year, under the Tariffof 1842. Nor is this all. The same sui¬ cidal act admits so many foreign fabrics, snch as alpacas, mouselinesde laine, ginghams, &c. &c.: lo interfere with the products of our own mills, for the special benefit of the millionaires of Manchester, that it ia rapidily driving our small manufaciurers out of lhe home markel, and lessening the number of operatives em¬ ployed in the larger establishments.
Again—in iron of 'light draught,' (small sizes, whose value consists chiefiy in labor) the import of New York alone, last spring, was 52,000 tons, beingan increase of 300 per cent- thus destroying the home manufacture of those indispensable articles. But forthe rail¬ road mania now raging in England, by which rails are kept at a very high price there, bo as to permit our own manufacturers to relain the home market for that article at present, the iron trade of the United Slates must have suf¬ fered the fate so clearly demonstrated in our colnmns last year by Mr. Cresson,in his letter to Hon. T. Butler King, of Georgia. From the united operation of e.veessive imporlBtions

New Youk, March 10, 1S47. Dr. Lo Ree—Sir: I havc the pleasure to inforni you that my health has greatly improved since I be¬ gan taking your Pills. In January I was given up by my physicians, who said it was impossible for me to live. I had subjected myselfto all kinds of treat ment, but I seemed to grow worse rather than bet¬ ter. On account of my gradual decline, ond obsti¬ nacy ofihe disease, they despaired of ever restoring me to health. Sinee 1 have commenced taking the PERSIAN PILLS, my appetite has greally in¬ creased—strength is fast laking the place of weak¬ ness, and the regularities of nature have been re¬ stored.
