A norning freshness round thee.
A sin sle tar vas rising then,
With mild and lovely MOTION,

Ittells me of nv earliest DAYS,
Ere hope went down in sorrow,

Where art thou now The bending grass
A de.rv stone discloses;
And loves Young footsteps paint the ground
Waere all my peace reposes.
But where art thou - fhv funeral flowers

CRIMES AND PUNIsHMENTs.

In every case of crime, (says the Bos-
ton Gazette. very iorciby) the accused
has chance to5be heard IN his own de-
fence /: he il. never considered guilty until
he has had fair trial.
This is perfectly correct course and
why shouldit not be pursued in the case
Of a debt Why should man be pun>
ished with imprisonment before Jury of
hrs country have declared him TO be guilty
of some fraud Why should he be pun
ished, when his only crime is that OF
being poor Why insult misfortune by adj
ding injury on the unfortunate Yet such
is the effect of the present laws in many
OF the state governments, and in the gov,
eminent ofthe Union.
The great Napoleon, TO his immortal
honour be it recorded, abolished impris-
oDment for debt in France, except in ca.
SEES Of fraud and this has been found SO
very useful in practice, that the intransis
merit Of the measures has sustained il
even through the tremendous crash oil
the downfall of his power.

THE NEW PENITENTIARY.
From The PAikadelthia Ga;

FROM me (OHHddeLNhiQ CrQZ.
The outer walls Of this immense struc
ture will inclose e!eUen acres Of ground.
In front will be building containing
rooms for sick conyicls, aud for the &C
commodation of officers oil the institution,
together with apartments for cooking and
doing the other necessary work Of the
establishment. The interior, Intended
for the abode of the prisoners, Will be
kept entirely private From small cir.
cular building in the centre, FIVE covered
ways will diverge, on each side of which
will be cells, amounting in all, to nearly
three hundred. Each cell is int ended for
the abode Of one prisoner only, and will
have small ysrd in the rear. One of
the keepers by taking post IN the centre
building, can command q view of all the
passages. For further security, sentry
boxes will be placed on the walls, aud a
couple of men will there keep guard,
thus overlooking the whole establish
ment. This statement, will suffice to
shew that the new peDiientiary promises
greater advantages than any which has
yet been built in any country, and is the
object we have IN view. Security to the
public, solitary confinement of the Priso
ners, convenience Of watching, OF feeding,
and Of attending to them in other ways,
will all be attending. The most excel
lent prison discipline can be introduced,
u criminals treated with severity without
cruelty. No coDspiracies can be entered
into by the conYicts---the pubic can be
under no dread of Iawless bandtti
breaking out of this peBitentiary and lay
ing the city in ashes--tbe novice in crime
will not here be associated with the adept
in iniquity--aDd being kept ignorant Of
the Inhabitants Of the adjoining cells, The
inmates of this mansion, will not, when
sent again into society, know where to
find fit accompIishes for the achievement
Of their villainous projects.
