MURDER BY LAW

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN TIMES.

Sir,—The person who signs " Justice to Society," in the
NORTHERN TIMES of this day, forgets that the law of
capital punishment is one of a barbarous age, nearly all of
which are now abrogated by the disciples of a new dispen-
sation—that of Christ—whose law was never one of ven-
geance, but of mercy—hatred for crime, but not for the
