REVIEW or Mr. THO MISE SPEECH,
(Conclnded.)

{ COncEHdeNJ
very palpabIc contradiction occurs in the two
following passages There are tguo Kinds Of crini
nats-those who offend Jr9a reflection, from motiue,
and those who offend. from Passion - page Z. "We
believe though sir, with Mr. Montague, that crimes
proceed not iron, reflections from comfcriaon of
anotiUes, but from haSS,on;" page g. Thus we are
informed in one page, that there are two kinds Of
criminals and in the next we are assured quite as
positively, far the authors belief goes that
there is but ono species,-those resulting from
passion.
But Notwithstanding the dogmas of Mr. Montague
and our author, we are disposed to believe that
crimes sometimes result from rejection and deli
Iteration. Malice prepense and aforethought,"
constitutes the gst, the very essence OF the crime
iof murder; and malice implies deliberation. The
murderer, before he perpetrates his crime, takes
into consideration the prospect of punishment,;-
and the caution and secrecy with which he pursues
his purpose clearly result from his reflection of the
danger which attends his undertaking. If the au-
thors iHea that crimes are exclusively the offspring
of passion be correct, the argument arising from
it proves too much for it goes not only to expose
the futiity of our present system of punishment
but Of any other that can be devised by human in
lgenulty. Indeed, we are expressly told that IN
nfShnzene whatever, will deter of passion from
the commission of crime. " But sir, if a man
breaks your laws through Passion, believe that M
punishment, no matter how severe, no matter how
frequently inflicted, will ever have any effect
upon him. The Of 1iassion sir, looks moi
60 seQuences,-eonaequence hrown TO the
gciadsl and derided aih acora. The man Of pas
sion looks not at your law or ii he does, he sees
in it nothing but obstacle his happiness; and
he hates it, The fear OF ,eath enters not into his
feelings: he cares not, but goes Outbreaks your
laws and gratt;es his passions in defiance of you,
gibbets and your pillorles" SPACE z. 1t seems to
plain understanding that according to this mode
of reasoning, pententares would be as useless fot
the prevention OF crimes, as the laws of Draco, OF
any other system, ancient or modern, to which the
author has alluded in his speech If all crimes pro
coed from passion, as we told and if the man
of passion fear no Punishment, scorn and deride all
laws and all consequences, the conclusion is as OBJ
vious as any demonstration in Euclid, that penal
laws, whether in the shape OF penitentaries gibbets
, or guillotnes, are equally useless and nugatory
: We now conclude our remarks upon the doctrines
of this extraordinary speech, of which like the
! end, better than the middle or The beginning. Mr.
J Thomas arrives at correct conclusion by very
!, devious path We are decidedly friendly TO Pc
