From, Beck's Medical Jurisprudence.

OF the history of Infancie as has prevailed in diff
ferent nations, ancient and modern.
1t is a fact no less melancholy than aston
ishing, that practice SO unnatural as that of
inianticide, should ever have prevailed to any
extent. its existence might have been suppos-
ed possible in those unhappy regions of our
earth, where untutored passion Ss brutal sense
reign triumphant over reason and morality;
but that the fairest portion, of society, where
genius, science, and refinement had taken up
their abode should have been disgraced by a
crime so disgusting, is one of those anomalies
in the history OF human feeling and conduct
which irress,bly prove how perfectly binary
and underlined are the laws of Justice and hu.
mainly, when unguided by the principles of true
religion. The fact, however, is mot more
tonishing than true. slig ht review Of its his
tory will show US that this practice prevailed
in almost all the ancient nations. and that it is
not even yet blotted from the list of human
crimes,
The ia,cS of Noses are silent on the subject Of
infanlcide; (a) and from this circumstance we
should be led 10 conclude, that the CRIME was
unknown among the Jews al that period Of their
history, and therefore that any positive prohi.
bltion oft was considered unnecessary. The
penal code Of the Jews is so very minute on TN e
subject of murder in general-considers it so
atrocious crime, and denounces such terrible
punIshments against the perpetrators Of II, that
lit is wholly incredible that the murder of in
fants would have been countenanced by their IL
lustrous legislator This conclusion is further
confirmed by the considerations, that barrennes SIS
was esteemed one Of the greatest misfortunes
which could befal Jewish woman, and that
the Jews were all DESTROYS of a progeny because
each cherished the hope that the Messiah
might be numbered among his descendants -
These facts prove that every inducement was
held our for the propagation Of children, and
none 10 countenance their destruction. Al a
subsequent period, when they became contami-
mated by their intercourse with the Canaanites,
we find the Jews initiating (J) the example of
their king Manasseh, who sacrificed his son to
the idol of Molech. (c) These horrid sacrifices
we're suppressed by king Josiah, who comman-
ded, ",hat no man might make his son or his
daughter to pass through the fire to Molech"
I'D And Tacilus, in describing the manners OF
the Jews of his day, says tina, they were not al
lowed 10 put their children 10 death(eJ
The nations surrounding the Jews appear 10
have been addicted to the sacrifice Of children.
OF these, the Candanites are described as "sae.
| rfcing their sons and their daughters unto de-
wills, and shedding innocent blood, even the
blood of their sons and their daughters, whom
they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan" m

Those who "suppori," as they call IL, the
Catholic Petition, talk, as observed before,
good deal about the dangers TO he "Empire,"
as they enthusiastically call the kingdom; the dan
gers that will arise to the Empire" TO this

which, in case Of WAR might happen from the
disconenis Of the Catholics, arising from their
not being "Emanc,pafed;" they talk about this
| however, in SO very vague manner, that one
can hardly guess at their meaning. They do
not mention the manner in which the danger
would show itself; but you can perceive that
they think, or would seem TO think, that France,
in case Of war, would assist the Catholics OF Ire
land in obtaining something or another Tor the
Catholic religion; or would at least endeavour
to do it and would thereby foment rebellion and
greatly divide the strength Of the badder-blown

Catholic, should never rest my hope on the dis
position of France to do any thing efficient in
this way; but there is ANOTHER COUNTRY,

gyo,csrs that feature Of the bill which contem-
plated by progressive increase OF duty on the
raw material, 10 afford them protection against
the large ship owner. in Europe and which was
so much required by the great body ofsthe
farming community or our country.
On the before siFen votes Of General jack
son might rely toestablish the facts, that he
is unfriendly to granting efficient protection to
either the Wool. grower, or the manuiactnr-
err Of that article, but shall give a few more
extracts in connection with the woollen trade
10 shew that in his opposition he was fixed and
determined.
The following proceedings took place the
same day as those given above:
Mr.. King, Of Y. Y then moved that The
bill be amended, by striking out all that part
which provides for The highest progressive du,
ty Of 37a per cent ad val. on all manufactures oil
Wool or Of which Wool shall be component
part" A>consioerable debate followed. The
question on this amendment was put and decid-
ed in the affirmative, by yeas and nays as ioi'
lows:
Yeas-.M essrs Barbour, Benton, Branch, Clay
ton, Eaton, Elliott, GailarG, Hayne, Holmes OF
Miss, Jackson, II. Johnson Of Lou J. 5. John

SO the Senate agreed to strike ont the highest
rate of duty on Woollen manufactured goods
this vote leaves these articles subject, by the
;,,o ac J,,ty ofs n
ad ralorem, until the 3o,h June, 1925, and after
that time TO duty of 33 Is per cent I'D va!o-
rem Niles Reg. vol &c, p. 100.
On the following day, to wit, May 9TH, "Mr.
King, of y. Y, moved to amend the bill in the
following clause: Con all manufactures of
Wool or Of which Wool shall be a component
part, a duty of so per cent, al valorem, until
the Soth day of June, 1926, and after that time,
duty of $50 per cent" by inserting after the
word "part," the words "ercept ,uorsted stuff
goods, which shall pay 25 per sent. ad valorem.'
For this amendment, General JACKSON and
his friend EATON also voted; it passed by vote
of 81 to 20.
Thus then through every stage the Tariff
Bill, General Jackson lent to the enemies OF
projection to Wool and NNoolcn Goods his
hearty co operation and support; from the begin
ming TO end we fnd him opposed to pro,
tec,ing either he wool grow or manufactures
After this plain erpose of his hostility, l hope
we shall not again be told by his friends, that
he is friendly to those great and important inter.
es,s of our country. These votes and the decla.
ration made some short time since, by the Ed
itor of the Richmond Enquirer, that if General
Jackson were to come out upon the questions
of Home industry and Internal improvements,
it would blast all his hopes of success. may ac'
count for his silence, when called upon SO often
to declare his sentiments.
