member Of the Stale Legislature, and .
Senator in Congress. Law Professor Of
TrsnsylvanIa University. and Chief Juss

No man sloud higher in the state 10 o

none except Clay ever welded With

Foreign opinion Of the Cnifed States.
The dangerous and semi barbarian
practice of every mans going armed with
dead, weapons. is growing 10 fearful
extent in the United States--the very
place, one would think, Of all Others where
such an uncivilized practice should least
find countenance. Especially, in the
Southern and Western States the practice
is carried to fearful extent. and the con-
sequence is, that we daily see accounts
of the most brutal aud barbarons murders
in open day. committed by persons who
make /. their business 10 90 armed. In q
moment of pssson. il man have deadly
weapon in his hand, he NAV kill his fei-
low man. when il he had to get wea-
pom, reflection might cool his passion. and
let reason take her throne again.
/ We have been led to these remarks by
seeing in the hands ola gentleman. few
days SINCE. species of knife which We
are told is very common in the Western
and Southwestern States. and known by
the name of the d" Boscie Knife" Ii 10

as to enable its carrier very easily to se~
yer the head Of man from his body a. q
blow; and on this savage instrument is the
makers name with the inscription
Manufactured al Sheffield. England, er.
presslg for the United States" How.
ever bad the morals of the United States
may be, we think this will be looked upon
as rather gra,uituus SANDER upon our
country: and We have no doub, that re.
fined Briious have as much use for these
murderous instruments a. we of America
have. But this will show how foreign
opinion will be. influenced by a barharous
practice. INDUCED in by portion ri our
pupatation. wholove violence and murder
rather than peace and good morals. And
