MORALITY OF THE dALLOW§•

( From the Bristol Mercury.)

We believe that, in arguing the question of the
propriety of continuing the punishment of death,
there is not me disputant left who would conserve
the gallows on the simple ground of a retaliator;
. -

punishment upon the criminal who has off
society and the law. Death punishment is, it

. .
advocated on the principle of its supposed of
to deter from the commission of crime'.

:hen is the precise value of this punishment to

ciety, in the light in which its aatocates themselves
profess to view it.
Do men shrink into their habitations from the.
horrors of an execution ? No ; nor women eit!le:.:
Does the lesson sink into the hearts of those who
read it ? Indeed, no ; for rather it is much
be apprehended that executions add to the g,!.
neral depravity ; and that the crime is too often
forgotten, and the criminal dangerously commis-
serated with, if he be not even elevated by the act
of suffering into the character of an hero.
An illustrative instance has this last week oc-
curred at Hertford, in the execution of a man there

for a most brutal murder The malefactof—a
youth of 22 years of age, takes his last farewell of
his parents ; and his father, while shaking hands
with him for the last time, alluded to the firmness
with which he bore his trial and sentence, and said,
" Good bye, Tom ; keep up your 'Spirits ; make
your peace with your Maker; go up to the gallows,
and die like a man !" The unhappy son replied,
will, father I" And he fulfilled his promise! Here
is the spirit of the hero pleading in ex-
tenuation of the crime of the murderer ;• and if the
heart is thus to be steeled against death when it r
looks into the very eyes of the condemned—and
this, it must be recollected, is the rule, not the
exception—what have we to hope in the distant
prospect of this fate as a check to the full career
of crime, except the gradual hardening of the
heart into that dogged indifference as to the result,
which is known to prevail among those inured to
crime, until they are entirely reckless as to its con-
, sequences.
So much for the particular effect of death-pu-
nishment : let us now look at its operation. In
this case—a striking and the latest mample, an in-
telligent Contemporary—the Hertford Rclermer,
says :

" Around the scaffold the majority of the people
assembled were either boys of from between ten and
seventeen years of age,or young servant girls ; thieves,
poachers, vagrants, and loose women, many of them
in a state of intoxication, and their conduct was far
from creditable. The anxiety evinced by.parents
to enable their children to get what they were pleased

to call a' good sight,' was most disgusting.
" There was no eye dimmed with tears ; no pallid
cheeks ; no sad and gloomy thoughts appzared to
oppress them ; but all was laughter, jest, and re-
velry. The public-houses and beer-shops soon be-
' came filled ; the spectators of death ,went to feasting
and gambling; the quiet of the town was disturbed
by scenes of drunkenness and licentiousness ; and
the day was a carnival to the dissolute of the nci2h-
bourhood !"

We affect nothing, and we are not ashamed to
confess so much, when we say that we shudder tifi

we read this extract. To us it is perfect conviction
that the gallows, so far from serving the cease Gf
morality and virtue, is a most debasing and demo-
ralising exhibition.

THE PROGRESS.

I conclude with recalling to you the happiest
feature of our age ; and that is the progress of the .
mass of the people in intelligence, self-respect, and
all the comforts of life. What a contrast does the
present form with past times I Not many ages amo,'
the nation was the property of one man, and all its
interests were staked in perpetual games of w.c.le,
for no end but to build up his family, or. to liriii7,
new territories under his yoke. Society was di-
vided into two classes, the high-born and the
vulgar, separated from one another by a fT,reat
gulph, as impassable as that between the saved and
the lost. The people had no significance as indi-
viduals, but formed a Mass, a machine, to be
wielded at pleasure by their Lords. In war,
which was the great sport of Me times, those
brave knights, of whose prowess we hear, cased
themselves and their horses in armour, so as to be
almost invulnerable, whilst the common people on'
foot, were left, without protection, to be hewn
in pieces or trampled down by their better::.
Who, that compares the condition of Europe
a few ages ago, viith the present state of the world,
but must bless God for the change. The grand
distinction of modern times is the emerging of
the people from brutal degradation ; the gradual re-
cognition of their rights ; the gradual diffusion
among them of the means of improvement and
happiness ; the creation of a new power in the State
—the power of the people. Audit is worthy remark,
that this revolution is due, in a great degree, to
religion, which, in the hands of the crafty and
aspiring, had bowed the multitude to the dust, but
which, in the fulness of tune, began to fulfil its
mission of freedom. It was religion, which by
teaching men their near relation to God, awakened
in them the consciousness of their importance as in-
dividuals. It was the struggle for religious rights
which opened men's eyes to all their rights.
It was resistance to religious usurpation, which
led men to withstand political oppression. II
was religious discussion which roused the miads
of all classes to free and vigorous thought. it
was religion which armed the mart; r and patriot
in England against arbitrary power, which braced
the spirits of our fathers against the perils of the
ocean and wilderness, and sent them to found herd
the freest and most equal State on earth.
Let us thank God for what has been gained
but let us not think every thing gained. Let the
people feel that they have only started in the
race. How much remains to be done ! Whet
a vast amount of ignorance, intemperance, coarseness,
sensuality, may still be found in our community
What a vast amount of mind is palsied. no,-.
lost ! When we think, that every house
might be cheered by intelligence, disinterestedness,
and refinement, and then remember, in how maw,-
houses the higher powers and affections of humai-,
nature are buried as in tombs, what a darkness
gathers over society ! And how few of us aro
moved by this moral desolation! How few under-
stand, that to raise the depressed, by a wise cut
ture, to the dignity of men, is the highest end 0,
the social state I Shame on us, that the worth of :.
fellow-creature is so little felt.—Channing- on sd
