CApIrAL PUNIsHMENT.

The subject OF crime, and punishment
has for several years received much at
tention, both in Europe and America 8
and it is generally admitted, that discover
les and improvements ofgreat practical i'm
portance have been made in this country.
These Improvements are in successful OPP
Grafton at the States prison in Charles
town. The ancient rigors of the penal
code have been mitigated. Punishments
revolving to humanity have been abolish
ed, and others substituted, which are be-
lieved to answer, with equal efficacy, all
the ends of penal justice and which are
more conformable to the humanity of the
age and the mild spirit of christianity. A
grave question has been started, whether
it would be safe to abolish altogether the
punishment Of death. An increasing ten
derness for human life is one of the most
decided characteristics of the civilization
of the day, and should in every proper
way be cherished. Whether it can, with
safety to the community, be carried so far
as to permit the punishment of death to be
entirely dispensed WITH is a question not
yet decided by philanthropists and legis-
lators 1t may deserve your considera-
ton, whether this interesting question
cannot be brought to the test of the sure
neutrality-suspicious.. An experiment in
stituted and pursued for a sufficient length
of time, might settle it on the side of mer-
cy. Such decision would be matter of
cordial congratulation. Should a contra
ry result ensue, it would probably recon-
cile the pnblic mind to the continued in
Fiction Of capital punishment, as a neces-
sary evil. Such consequence is highly
to be desired, if the provisions Of the law
are finally to remain in substance, what
they are at present. The pardoning pow,
er has been entrusted to the chief magis-
trate; but this power was not designed to
be one ofmaking or repeIling the law
A state of things which deprives the exec
utive of the support of public sentiment
in the conscientious discharge of his mos
painful duty, is much to be deplored. Blu
though believe the community prepared
to give fair trial to the abolition of CAPT
tai punishment for all other crimes, it may
be doubted whether the experiment coulc
with propriety be extended to the wilfu
shedding of blood.

II is remarked by experienced chris
tians, that God seldom, or never, grants
revival when the state of religion in the
church is low, and for the best of reasons.
If the church should gain converts while
religion is declining, they will only come
up to the standard of the church that re-
ceives them. The higher the standard of
religion is in a church, not only the more,
but the purer will be her converts. So
of the church universal-while she al
lows of slavery, war, and intemperance,
her converts, what few there may be, will
allow themselves in slavery, war, and in
temperance. Had the primitive church
allowed of polygamy, that vicious custom
would have remained in the church until
the present time; and If the church shall
continue to allow of war, war will con.
tinue to the end ofthe world, and heathens
will fall into endless perdition over the
stumbling block which protesting chris
tians lay in their way. The heather can
not be converted until the church renoun
ces and denounces war. They would onl,
be converted to a fighting christianit!
which would bring the millennium no near
er But let the church of Christ re
nounce all the denominations of the world
and particularly war, and the heather
seeing the purity and peace ofchristianity
will, of themselves, flock to her, "a
clouds and as doves to their windows."-
J The conversion of the heather will be tn
effect, and not the cause, of the renuncis
ton of war by the church. God ha
promised that the time shall come whe
nations shall learn war no more, an
: when christian nations shall set the exam
! pie, he will crown their labors, to conve
: the heather, with success.
y The promises of God, therefore, Dug
u to stimulate all christians to labor ar
pray for tie abolition of war as the sure
70 means of converting the nations to chri
