to excite lawless violence against aboli-

Commerce have been ready to indorse
their high responsibility and christian
character, and repel with warmth the 50
called slanderous accusations of the abo-

God, these same pro-slavery champions
have been left to exhibit themselves in

TEXAS.
MIR. GARR1sON,s SPEECH.

In the New-England Convention, Fri
dav, June 2, the resolutions on the subject
of Texas having been read
Mr.. GARRISON said. that in rising to
offer these resolutions, he felt unusually
depressed in spirit first, on account of the
tremendous interests involved in them,
and with which he felt himself utterly in
competent to grapple: and, secondly, in
view Of the lateness of the hour, which
precluded full and complete examination
of their merits. The Convention had
discussed at some length, and settled with
perfect unanimity, various resolutions, en-
bracing subjects of great moment, but
which were not of immediate paramount
importance. If their time and attention
had been wholly absorbed in the discus
sion of those now under consideration, 1t
would have been a wise and profitable
expenditure. 1t sometimes happens 10 a
moral, as in a physical campaign. that
upon the carrying of single point every
thing depends-the victory or defeat Oh
an army, the perpetuity or overthrow o.

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT.

What" exclaims M. de Lamartine. in
combating the objection that punishment
of death is check upon murder" what
are the principal! causes Of homicide?-
They are anger, revenge, jealousy, hatred,
ambition, religious fanaticism, political
fanaticism, lust, fear of detection, a fear
which will commit murder, thus seeking
to hide less crime in a greater. Ex-
anime, then, your courts Of justice; at
tend to the scenes disclosed at your ASST
yes; analyze the constituent elements of
these crimes unravel the Windings of
criminals mind enter into his thoughts
at the moment of committing the act, or at
| the moment of the feverish premeditation
which precedes the act {; ask him to &C
count to you, to account to himself, for the
nature and strength Of the motive which
impelled him to his crime; compare this
brutal, blind, and frenzied impulse with
the resistance opposed to his purpose and
its execution, by the prospect of the pun
ishment of death. What proportion will
the impulse bear to the resistance? Will
the present. absorbing, impetuous purpose
to commit crime be stopped by the re-
mote, unseen, uncertain idea of punish
men!
You fear the experiment, you say
But you count then for nothing as pre-
servative, as means of morality by the
omnpotence Of the example, that mag
ni6cent sentiment Of the legislator of a
great nation, who, to render sacred in So
ciety the doctrine of the volatility of
human life, should break the sword and
say to the people: Look the blood of
man is so sacred that we, who would
have right and might to shed it in expia-
ton. we forbid ourselves from ever she'd
ding drop, even the blood of criminal
The life of man belongs to no one, neither
to you, nor to US, nor the homicide, nor
to the Judge of the homicide. 1t belongs
only to God. Cursed be he who makes
an attempt on this property of the only
Author of life How sacred, then, would
the homicide say, is this life of man, be-
fore which all mankind stand in awe?
"Why then does the legisla-
tor hesitate to abolish the punishment Of
death Why2 All! because the law
Of progress exists for the mind as well as
for the bod v: because the state of society
is onl Y changed by he sweat of the brow ;
because nations want the generous conf
dence which accompIishes great things =;
because when truth, of every kind, would
introduce itself into the world, it always
finds lie or a settled prejudice disputing
lis claim to the light. So Calico was
obliged to pass his time in exile and dun
geons, to demonstrate an astronomical
truth, which apparently oughtto have made
no change except in the armament.
This, gentlemen. should encourage us to
labor without impotence in the holy cause
you have undertaken, and where so many
noble sympathies attend and strengthen
you"
Mr.. de Lomartine mentions gratifying
fact; that there was in France, in 1885
but te0emtyJfre capital executions, while
there were tno hundred under the reign
of Louis XVIII. and Charles K. in a
single year! Thus there have fallen
eight times less heads on the scaffold in
u, the same space of time.-COrrespOmde~ct
