PAINFUL SCENES At An ESEcUuo>-An immense

nucd to protest to the last that man whom have
treated my friend Is the murderer declined howe'-

'or asking him 10 explain why the spectacle of a
hanging is disastrous in It's influence II the hang
ing itselfis of IAN opposite tendency The neces
s,y 50 generally felt by the advocates of the Gal
COWS of executing what they affirm 10 be Divine
law in some dark recess where the deed cannot be
seen il strikes us Is far significant than they
are willing to own. We easily see how the evil
| effects Of a bad law may be in some measure coun
,eracted by concealmen of It's worst features but
| ii puzzles us TO understand how good law-much
more law of God-can stand in need OF such de
vice. We pro,es, against the doctrine as an imps
| ,a,ion not merely upon the wisdom but upon the
moral character of the Supreme Ruler If the law is
His the more public you make lis execution the
better il il is not His this talk of private execu
mons as means of couneracting its evil influences
plainly implies but a relic OF barbarism, disgrace
alike to Civilization and Christianity let ii be done
away.
