lone, Of the whole, can make any near app
proach to independence. If there is one
thing more than another, which in this coun-
try gives a man superiority over his fellow
men, it is knowledge; and this knowledge

design of the Cultivator to aid in imparting.

Another Previous Pardon!

During the present sitting OF our Court, many
applications for licensing drinking houses, which
were not legally provided for the convenience
Of travellers, were judiciously refused by Judge
Parsons. This gave great satisfaction 10 the
friends of temperance, and was calculated also
TO uphold the dignity of the laws, which have
been too frequently abused and evaded by licen-
sing houses, which instead of offering accom-
modations for travellers are nothing more than
drinking houses. Among other applications
thus refused. was that of Charles Pray, man
notorious for his lawless connection with the
disturbances of '3S, and who was then protected
by the Executive influence and debased Judi
ciary, despite the popular feeling and the calls
OF Justice.
But it appears that the protecting power,
which then assisted 10 cover his treason, is
aqain inlerposed between him and solemn
decision of our Courts of iustice Notwiih-
standing The refusal of Judge Parsons TO grant
him license, he still keeps his house open,
and boasts that he has the protection of the Gov
erpor in his course! He says the Governor has
licensed him. and that he has authority from
the master of the Judges to continue his unholy
traffic. And we have every reason to believe
that such is the fact that Gov. Porter has again
offered previous pardon to him, in case he
should be convicted of selling liquor without a
license. The Executive has stepped forward
10 arrest reform, which the law provides Tor
and which the unanimous voice of our citizens
demands-he interposes between the deliberate
decree of Court Of law, and sets aside It's de
cisions as if he were the autocrai of nation o.
slaves, instead OF the mere Governor of repub
liesn community.
How long is this Iawless assumption OF pow
er 10 he tolerated. bow long are the lives, prop
euy, reputation and feelings of our citizens tc
be outraged by these repeated exhibitions o
prerogalive, more grievous than those which
brought Charles Stuart 10 the block? We ap
peal 10 the friends of good order, 10 the friends
of temperance, and 10 all who wish to see ths
dignity OF our laws upheld, to resist these re
peated invasions of the rights of the people
Can our citizens tamely suffer these arbitrar.
Inaictfons, without an effort to release them
selves? We think not. and next fall will pro
nounce. a terrible condemnation on the Law
breaker. the Governor of vetos and Of prevIou
pardons!--Daliy Tel.

The Confession of a Dreadful Deed.

A colored man named Harry Sisco,
who has been convicted at Hacken-
sack, N. ]. for the murder of Alfred
Myers, has made confession of the
dreadful crime, which is thus detail
ed by the reporter of the New York
Herald:
Il again met Harry Moore; and as
we wanted to contrive some plan to
make raise, and it come to storm
hard, we crept into Alfred Myers
barn, and there we laid all day Sun
day (Nov. 22.) It rained hard all
that day, and whilst we were talking
things over, Harry Moore says to me,
says he, Lets kill Alfred Myers,
and then we shall get some clothes
and some money" So ne agreed to
kill him that night! Well, it was
night, about l2 o'clock; when all was
still, that we crept out and went round
to the door Of Alfred's store. Harry
Moore knew he slept alone, and as
Alfred knew Harry Moore's voice,
and had every confidence in him, we
agreed that Harry Moore should call
him out of bed to come down stairs,
and when he opened the door I was
to open the door and hit him on the
head with stone. Well, Harry
Moore called him up. Alfred came
down stairs, lighted the lamps, and
we went in; his dog was there; as
soon as we got in, | made grab at
him and missed him; we then had a
pretty smart scufle; finally, [ hit him
on the left temple with a large stone
and it knocked him down; this did not
kill him; and his dog flew at me and
tore my pantaloons, and bit my leg
and my face. He called for help and
murder and Harry Moore told me
to hold him by the throat, and said,
I'll fix him. Harry Moore then took
a black silk handkerchief, wound il
fast round Alfred's neck, drew it tight
and so choaked him to death! The
dog then run off"
