EXECUTION.—It is a matter of history that
when Mr. Ewart, in the session of 1837, moved a resolu-
tion for the abolition of capital punishment in all cases,
except those of wilful murder, it was only lost by a ma-
PritY of one. Is, then, the vote of one man enough to
justify the executive in depriving the wretched being,
Thomas Musgrave, who has been sentenced to death, in
York, of life ? We appeal to the pity of the
public on behalf of this man. He has committed an atro-
cious crime ; but the spilling of his blood cannot atone for
it. The pr(vention of crime is the only legitimate object
of punishment ; and there are more terrible punishments
than death. We profess to be Christians, yet shall we en-
danger the soul of an immortal being? Repentance must
be spontaneous, not forced ; produced by the influence of
divine agency, and not exacted by the approach of death.
Nye plead not for crime, but humanity : we desire the pu-
nishment of the offender, without offending against na-
ture, religion, and society. We ask any man what will be
the result of a hanging in the city of York ?—will there
not be callous brutality, profanity, and immorality, at-
tendant upon it? Musgrave, however, will not be launched
into eternity without expostulation. Some philanthropic
individuals in this city will this evening ( Saturday) send a
memorial to the Secretary of State.— Yorkshireman.
