PupLIc ExEcurroNs.-Wc find in that sterling

PunLIc ExEcuTroNs.-We find in that sterling
paper, the Cincinnati Gazette, the following sound
and sensible remarks on the dis listing and abe.
minaoie practice, still existing in many of The
States, OF publicly hanging men convicted of ca
pital crimes:
Three paragraphs before us speak of quar-
refs and new murders, occasnned by this un-
seemly, not TO say brutal, exhibition Of human
suffering
f" We can hardly understand the morbid feel.
ing which induces man or woman to gaze with
pleasure upon dying brother. When duty calls
US to the bed side of death, we perform it because
1t Is duty. But when the law calls for its vic.
tim, and there is nothing to compel our attend
ance but curiosity, we startled rs we think OF
lt-that so many thousands go to see a criminal
hung, as If there was real pleasure in it.
Barbarities Of this kind Dug hit to be done away
with. They do harm wherever they arc toler
ated. Not such crowd as hanging brings to-
gether, ever met and parted without an increase
of crime, and of criminal feeling, flowing from
It. Why then tolerate these inhuman displays?
Ii the Law must have its victim-if life must be
the forfeit Of crime-let that forfeiture be paid in
silence and in private, where no one. save Heaven
and the law-officefs, may witness it.
There is evidently growing determination
among thinking men'to change the fashion, and
alter the criminal laws as 10 this taking of life
Men, and good men, too, question whether what
God has given may he taken away by any o'her
power but Gods. They do not deny the neces.
sity of protecting socie against the l4wlsss hand
OF the criminal. TSey would bind it down so
that it could harm no one. But they do ones
ton whether his may not be dore-successfully
done, too-without robbing him of life. And
who that has witnessed an executioo-who that
has watched the criminal, starting from his cali,
erect il form and heel,hful in body, and seen him
borae in his strength to the gsllows, and there
volently des'royed-hnne until he waa dead-
and not felt me same doubt? The voice within
tells us that we may not rudely lay hands on our
own life, and it whispers, too, that The life Of our
brother, black though he be in crime, il alike sa.
cred with our own"
