The native American., 1838-02-03
TO BE CONTINUED.
For the Native american.

Mr.. EDITOR: You were kind enough to publish
in your paper, my brief sketch Of the Honorable
Mr.. MERRICK, of the Senate. As Marylander,
! am more than ever proud Of our Senator, since
his bold and gallant stand on Saturday last, in the
Senate, on the pre-empton bill. On that occa-
sion he spoke for the Native cause, and against
the foreign influence. Maryland, in her native
heart, will re-echo the sentiments of her ndepen-
dent representative, and will entwine another
flower in his increasing chaplet. ! hope you
will not forget to give to Mr.. MERRIcK his full
need Of praise.
But promised to sketch Mr.. REvERDY JOHN
SON, of Baltimore.
He is about forty years Of age, with large
brilliant eye, and extraordinary countenance
something grave, yet quizzical in its expression.
Mr.. J. was born in the county Of Prince George,
and bred to the practice of the law. He became
pre-eminent at the bar for his earnest eloquence,
and moving to Baltimore, soon assumed lofty
stand with Writ, Mcmahon, and other eminent
jurists. His mode Of speaking is loud and vehe-
ment ne yields up his whole soul to the case,
and pours forth stream after stream of burning
elocution, and powerful thought. He is destined
to take wide and more prominent field, and if
he would mngle more in the political questions
of his State, he would rise to any point of honor
within the gift of her people.

CAPITAL PuNIsHMENT-IsAAc DALE.-The
execution Of Isaac Dale, for the murder of Nc
Cafferty, in Giles county, which was to have
taken place near this city yesterday, was sus-
pended, and the prisoner respited under the fol-
lowing extraordinary circumstances:
An act was finally passed and signed by the
Speakers of the two Houses of the General AS
sembly yesterday morning in relation to capital
punishments, whereby it is made the duty of the
Governor to commute punishment in capital ca
ses finally determined by the Supreme Court, to
Imprisonment for life in the State Pententiary
whenever the Judges of said Court shall certify
to him that there were, in their opinion, extenu-
ating circumstances attending the case, and that,
in their opinion, the punishment Of death ought
to be commuted. The act applies to all persons
now under sentence of death for murder in the
first degree, and the judgment Of the Circuit
Court has been, or may hereafter be, affirmed in
the Supreme Court and it also provides that, in
cases hereafter to be tried, when any person is
convicted of murder in the first degree, if the jury
who try him should be of opinion that there
were mitigating circumstances in the case, and
shall so state in their verdict then it shall be the
duty Of the Court to sentence the defendant to
confinement in the Penitentiery for life.
Although the Supreme Court is not now in
session, there is saving proviso at the close of
