CAPITAL PUNISHMENT.

The luminous and powerful argumen, OF
the Rev. GEORGE B. CHEEvER, of New York
City, against the policy of abolishing capital
punishment for the crime of murder will
be found in our paper this week. We
ask for it the careful perusal of our readers.
All will acknowledge its power, whether they
assent to its conclusions or not. There has
been, for several years past, growing dis.
position in many of the States Of the Union
to do away with the punishment of death
and substitute Imprisonment, for life for capl.
tai crimes. We look upon this spirit of in.
novation with alarm. We have no sympa.
thy with it. We regard i. as one of tn,
thousand projects of reform. which, disre,
garding alike the law of God aud man, til.
experience of ages, the welfare of the State
and the lives Of its citizens, would SWEEP
away every thing that is venerable and time
honored, in the rage for new experiments
and un,ried expedicnts. At the last session
of our own Legislature, a law was pas
scd which is regarded by many, both a
home and abroad, as virtual abolition O
capital punishment. We do not so under
stand it. The provisions Of the oct are vague
enough certainly, but we do no, see how i
can be construed into an adjustment of the
penalty Of death for the crime of MURDER
We know il was not so understood at III.

FRIDAY MORNING, MARCH 3, Is43.
MATHEMATICAL AND ASTRO-
NOMlCAL SCIENCE.

From card which appears in late num-
Der of the National Tnteligencer, we learn
that our Representative, the Hon. Angus
TUs YOUNG is about to publish new work
on the science Of Mathematics and Astrono-
my. Mr.. YoUNc's work is to be entitled
=" Ratio in Unity, or Unity of Purpose" and
is to open with "A treatise on the quadrature
of the circle, IN which he promises to expose
the insufliciency of the methods which are
commonly adopted by ma,hematicians in
calculating the approximate quadra,ure, and
the gross errors, both in principle and fact,
upon which these methods are foundcd.-
Nor does Mr.. Young stop here. But with
the bodness of man who has full conf
denoc in the accuracy of his calculations and
his ability to defend them, he aims at still
lotiier achievements. He denies the COR
rcctness Of SIR ISAAC NEwroN's THEORY OF
GRAVITY, in all its principles and applica.
tiOns, and he promises not to stop short Of
the most conclusive demonstration of the er-
rors committed by SIR ISAAC, the manner in
which they were committed. and the part O.
his calculations in which they occurred. II,
also says he will promulgate the true lav o
gravity as it actually exists. If Mr.. YOUNG
iuils all his promises, he will certainly be
entitled to a reelection, notwithstanding his
vote on the Bankrupt Law. The Intelli.
gencer introduces the article Of our worthy
Representative with the following edi.oria
paragraph:
1T is proper that our readers should know that Mr.
iorSa, whose name attess his faith in the results o
inves gaiions into nbsruse points in geometry an'
astronomy, I'm the article which appears in the pre-
cedng columns) is a Representative in Congress
from the State Of Vermont, whose referring and un
pretending manners are in singular contrast with tn
boldness and height of his scientific ASPIRATIONS"
We regret that we cannot publish Mn
YouNc's card this week. 1t shall appear in
our next number.
