PERJURY. We have horrid idea Of
the principles of man who deliberately
takes false oath Perjury in this sense
is a crime of the deepest magnitude.
An individual, who, with deliberation
would call upon God so to deal with him,
as he should deserve to be dealt with, in
reference to the truth Of the matter he
was about to relate, and then speak false
ly-such man, we say, would not hes
tate to commit murder. There should
be nothing indistnct in the recollection
of him who calls upon heaven to bear wit
ness to the truth of his attestation. If
the thing is not as certain as sight, he
should never depend upon the clearness
of his memory. Above all others, he
is villain, who can be bribed to per-
lure himself The same fellow, under
other circumstances, could be brlbed to
assassinate. Such an act evinces total
and absolute depravity. Yet we have
seen men stand up and commit pejury, as
cooly as they would drink wine. We
have seen them ready to swear at any
thing, and everything and yet afterwards
talk of principle and humanity, and re-
ligion. If a curse of dcsolation does not
mark the paths Of such, justice cannot be
satisfied. A pe1ured man is lost to all
the attributes of virtue-he is an apos-
tate from integrity and principle.-Hing-
