1t is sometimes impossible for the
most in6del mind to resist the impress
sion, that there is mysterious connec-
ton between mind and matter, be-
tween the moral character and conduct
of man and the matarial creation a.
round him, which causes them to act
and react upon each other, producing
concord and peace or disoord and war.
In other words, when the mind of man
runs riot, and immorality and crime o.
verspread the earth nature herself
seems to imbibe the decentralization,
and in storms and earthquakes, por-
tents and wonders, overleaps the laws
which regulate her operations, and par
takes of the disorders which afflict the
moral world. 1t was mans fall, as we
are taught in the Scriptures, which
brought pain and death, disorder and
confusion into the natural world; the
death of our Saviour by the hands OF
wicked men, was attended by darkness
and earthquakes; and may not the
Christian and the Philosopher, even of
our day, without the imputation of su-
perslition, believe, that through some
invisible and inscrutable connection
between the moral conduct of man and
the creation around him, his gross and
general departure from truth, honesty,
and order, throws nature herself into
confusion, and produces apparent dis
tress in all her members.
But, as relates TO the object we have
in view, it is quite immaterial whether
this notorious coincidence between the
disorders of the moral and physical
world, spring from general law which
makes it impossible that one portion Of
our Makers kingdom can be convulsed
without disturbing the other, or be re.
ferred 10 a special Providence. If fnat-
ural commissions and extraordinary por.
tents, regularly or usually, follow de-
partures from the principles ofmorality
by masses of mankind, it is immateria
whether they spring from the Law o.
God, orthe WiLof Cod whether they
be the result of an Interchangeable rule
or of special dispensation. To the of
fender man, it is all the same. Il is e
nough for him to know, that he canno

nist let him sustain his first position, and invent
and discuss propositions not directly to the point
therefore re-state the direct proposition which is
drawn directly from his first communication Is a
law authorising the nAction Of capital punishment
for capital crimes, contrary to the law of God, rea-
son, or justice' If he feels conscientious upon
the subject, he certainly can have no hesitancy in
submitting to the minds Of candid community the
reasons which have aroused his scruples.-He says:
"Ihold the doctrine that no human tribunal has the
right to take that from its fellow man which is not
in its power to restore, except acting as the imme-
date or direct agent of Heaven" In this the gen.
tleman is correct upon our hypothesis; since we
must be direct agent when obeying direct COM
mand-"by man shall his blood be shed."-an a.
gent acts only by the command of the principal and
when he has the command, his agency is said to
be direct.
In out first communication the words "unrigh-
teous punishment" in the first paragraph, should
have been marked as quotation, but was omitted
through neglect by myself Our friend took ad-
vantage of the mistake, but l presume harmlessly.
1t is hoped that friend will see the proprety of
coming to the main proposition and leave out these
intermediate questions.

PHILOS.
For the Spirit Of Democrac,
REPLY TO "M." AND "PHILOS."
Mr.. EDITOR:


! Mr.. EDITOR:
have noticed controversy in your
paper between "M. and 'Philos" on the subject
of Capital Punishment; and as their conclusions are
somewhat unsatisfactory, have taken it upon my
self, with your permission to reply to both ofthem,
and set the matter in dispute in more clear and
lucid light, than it has been in my opinion, by Ell
ther.
"M." contends that capital punishment is contra
ry "to justice, reason, religion, the law" &c. Now
in reply TO this, permit me to say, that the Temple
of Jerusalem was one ofthe most splendid edifices
the world ever knew. Aud while devourng flames
were executing the purposes of all enraged soldie-
ry, and in the language of Milman, "the blending
smoke and fire forced the officers to retreat; and the
noble edtice was left to its fate" Titus himself
relented. The destruction of this consecrated ed
ifice appalled, even the Roman soldier. Alas!
think of the heart broken despairing Jew; look at
the terrific scene Dead bodies moved by cata-
racts ofbood, chat rushed down from the sacred al
ars--devouring flames busy, helping the sword in
its awful work of carnage. The sun has hid his
face from the scene of wickedness-the holy tenn
pie lights up the place with her devouring blaze,
and the neighboring hills blush in the light Clois-
ters and courts one after another tumble to the
ground, with a crash that startles the Roman pila-
ger, and the spoils of battle drop from his hand.
All around about is heard the wailing OF the be-
reaved, the shrieks OF the terrified, the grcans of
the dying, and the hideous yells of Roman soldiers,
commingling in most horriic din; therefore, we
are closer the sun in the winter, than are in the
summer: consequently the conclusions of"M' are
incorrect.
As for "Philos," / consider him only worth
passing notice He says, (and it is the point he re-
lies on,) that "he limits assigned forbid an enlarge
ment at present." This quotation can DE found in
Philos communication of the 29th of March, last
paragraph. Now is evident from the nature of
things, that when winter has been disrobed of her
icy vestment, and BoreaS' clustering armies have
quit mastering in the sky, and retreated from the
peaceful notus of geniasprng, that cold weather. is
about over; therefore conclude, that if ever the
rail road should be extended to the Ohio river, it
will be continued through this State to some point
on the canal; and ofcourse Phllos argument falls to
the ground
