The progress of crime, in this section
of country, appears to be increaning to
an alarming extent, encouraged, no
doubt, by the facility with which the cul-
prits escape the punishment due to their
crimes. And while the gentlemen of
the bar are SO highly complimented on
the dexterous manner in which they con-
duct the cases of the offenders while
their consciences are regulated by the
fee they receive, no favorable change
can be expected from them. Under such
a state of things no person can feel him.

or the MONDAY murderer He knows
not but that the moment he leaves his

1t is hoped that the present order of
things will not long continue-but that
those who commit murder, robbery, &c.
will be made to experience that they arc
crimes.
