this kind Of punishment should be i'm
mediately abolished. But on the con
trary, should the negative be establish
ed, the inference will follow, that jus
tice, reason and the principles Of phi
lanthropy demand its inhiction; anc
thatno human tribunal can be justifable
in permitting the murderer to escape
the demands Of violated Justice.
Arguments quite plausible and conso-
nant to our feelings may be adGuced in
favor of alb olishing punishment so Sc
we're; particularly when no excitement
arising from case demanding its inhic-
ton operates upon them. But the SEN
satlons Of our own bosoms constitute a
criterion too fallibe, by which TO deter
mine with absolute certainty, in rela-
ton to the right, with whichwe are in
vested to enact laws regulating the
most important relations in human So
ciety. lnfallible justice is not the of.
spring of human reason, or deduction,
and hence our dependence upon reveal
ed laws in the decision of many ques
tions in relation to civil and religious
duties.
The limits assigned forbid an enarg-
ment at present. 1t is hoped that our

whom the supposed crime of executing

COON DEFENCE OF CLAY.

The DIFFERENcE.--The Palladium
says that General Jackson once Tough
a duel, and theretoreG5-THE BLOODY
HAND Of Mr.. Clay ought not to be allu
ded to-. But there is all the difference
imaginable between tue two cases
General Jackson was a Young man
when he accepted "A challenge; he be-
came religious after that, and repented
of the wrong. This was long before
he was candidate for the Presidency
or had even been thought of for such a
| post. But how is it with Mr.. Clay
We do not alIude to his early and first
duel, when he shed the blood of Mr..
Marshall, the brother Of the late Judge
Marshall, and man much older than
himself. He was young then. But he
has been ever since the same.-W While
holding the Office OF Secretary Of State
- the first Office next to the President
he called out John Randolph, and
came near taking his life the bullet went
through Randolph's clothes. 1t may
be said that Mr.. R. provoked him,
though that is no excuse-we however
pass by that; and come TO the murder
Gus death Of Cilley. Mr.. Clay here had
no controversy with his victim-he
run no risk himself; but coolly planned
the taking Of another's life. He WROTE
THE MURpERoUs CHALLENGE for Graves
to send. This was not the indiscrction
of his youth, but it was at a time when
NJ. Clays age and standing should have
taught him better. He had then been
twice candidate for the Presidency,
and was looking forward to a third
nomination from the wings, which as
they say, he has already received "by
acclamation." That he wrote that
challenge, and was the adviser olGraves
we have the authority of Mr.. Wise for
saying, into whose hands the manu-
script was placed, and who acted as
the second. This assertion of Wise
has never been contradicted by Clay or
his friends; and those friends have late
y voted in the Senate for the appoint
ment of Mr.. Wise as Minister to Bra
ziI, which they never would have done,
if he had Mr.. Clay in SO serious point
as this. 1t is said that they were indu-
ced to vote for this nomination, for the
purpose Of having Mr.. Wise and the
bioody manuscript which he retains, in
a foreign country, while the Presiden-
tial controversy is going on here. We
have also the authority of Mr.. Wise for
saying, that when Mr.. Clay heard of
the death of Cilley--an event that chill
led every bosom not dead to feeling in
the land--he coo'y replied, 1--WE it
will only be nine days wonder" And
this is the man who is now held up TO
the moral and exemplary people OF
Connecticut, as ''the embodiment of
whig principles;" an "embodiment' 20
perfect, that the party has taken the We
ry name of Clay, as descriptive of their
political organization. A man must in
these days, be not only whig, but
Clay Club Wig, or he is not ortho-
1ox. The "BLooDY HAND" is raised
as if in defiance of high heaven, and
al are required to rally around it. and
AXE the path which it points out to
hem.

THE STORM RISING.

AT The commencement Of the last session Of Con
xress, the Wing politicians, and the Wing presses,
began their systematic efforts to get up enthusiasm
in ,heil ranks for the benefit OF Mr. Clay; and while
there existed uncertainty, TO men, IN the lie
publican party, previous 10 the assembling OF It's Bal
timore Convention, the Wings were, for long time,
permitted to have all the shouts TO themselves. Thus
many Of our opponents became confident of success,
seeing the 60 omEous calm" which continued 10 per-
wade the Republican camp, even subsequently to the
decision Of the National Convention; this caused
them to shout the MORE Of courre, until they have

The Hon. j. M. Clayton, who is perhaps one Of
the mos, devoted friends Of Mr. Clay in the Union,
wrote to Mr.. Clay some weeks ago on the subject Of
Mr. Websters statement, that Mr. Clay had in the
committee-room Of the Senate pr posed to insert
el,use in the Compromise act providing for total
abandonment OF protection on alb domest articles

We make the following extract from Mr.. Clay's
reply

"You tell me that AN accused Of having sban.
doned the protective policy. That would distress
me exceedingly, III we're not accused Of all sorts
