DEATH BY VIOLENCE.

The moral atmosphere of our State
appears to be in a deleterious and san
culinary condition. Almost every OK
change paper which reaches us, con.
tains some inhuman and revolving case
of murder or death by violence. Not
less than fifteen deaths by violence
have occurred, to our certain know
ledge, within the past three MONTHS
Such state OF things, in q country
protesting to be moral and christian,
is disgrace to human nature, and is
well calculated 10 induce those abroad,
unacquointed with our General habits
and feelings, to regard the morals of
our people in no very enviable light /;
and does more to injure and weaken
our political institutions than years of
pecuniary distress. The frequency Of
such events is q burning disgrace to
the morality, civilization, and refine
ment of feeling TO which we lay claim,
and so often boast in comparison to
the older States. And unless we set
about and put an immediate termina.
ton to such revolving scenes, we shall
be compelled to part with what all
genuine Southerners have ever re.
garded as their richest inheritance
the proud appellation of the "brdce
high-miaded and chigalrouS SoaS OF
The South.H
The evil complained of, MUST be re-
NEEDED; but il never will be accom-
plished, unless we strike at its very
foundation. The pEorLE--the souereigf
peopis--must commence the march o
reformation by selecting officers O
justice who win rigidly enforce tht
penalties which the laws prescribe
without "FEAR, FAVOR or AFFEcnoN;'
and not only this, but come TO the so
Tenn determination TO aid and supper
them in the proper discharge Of thei
duty;--this done, we should soon dis
cover change for the better; peac,
and good order prevail, and the end
OF justice be eiiectually and speedil,
attained, and then the people of thi
wealthy State would be in a condition
10 bid defiance to the disgraceful re
proaches which are now daily heapet
upon them by the religious and mora
OF other States.--G,dnd Gulf Adc.
