hA-Our correspondent IS, - in his first commune
cation in favor of capital punishment, asked-"Why
should all the sympathy be excited in favor of the
murderer, and the murdered 60 unwept and unsung
and punish his wrongs, speak sympathetic
word in behalf Of him and his rretreyably injured
family!" This Of course is mere exaggeration, but
suppose it we're literally truc,-hoV does IS" propose
to 'sympathisc' with the injured family of the
dered Why, by legally numbering him who injured
them, and thus inevitably adding the number cir
retreyably injured, making trO wretchcd faml-
lies,-t,ro weeping widows and mothers,-tco trains
of tender orphans, where there but one before.
Verify this is a curious way of showing ones sym
pathy'' for distress Yet with some minds we know
BY observation and experience that it is the natural
way. 1t is not purpose, however, to argue the
point, but merely to adduce a practical example,
which VIC meet with in one Of our eastern papers,
follows:

me all the particulars relating to the trial and the
family of Potter, whom the State had Just murdered
upon the galows. He presented the petition of the
parents. He gave me very interesting fact: The
sister of Potter desired 10 be erecutea an his place

mental agony. Not word uttered by either.
How strange seemed TO brother, in full health

is now before me- Never can it be eifaced from my

Ot-The moral effects of hanging beautifully
illustrated after the execution Of Wyatt at Auburn,
n Y, few days since. At bis special request, the
sheriff had promised him that his body should have
christian burial and not be given up for dissection
He had displayed great solicitude this subject to
those who had taken an interest in his fate and after
the hanging, these persons ascerained that the body
of Wyatt had been stolen from the coffin before
burial and taken from the Jail to the State prison,
where it was secreted in barrel. Upon learning
this fact considerable crowd assembled and threat
ened pretty strongly TO take the body by force The
difficulty finally settled, however, by giving it up
TO be deccntly buried. The body, when taken from
the cask was much bloated and bruised. 1t appeared
that it had been rudely jammed head first, into the
cask, the vacant places filed, far practicable,
with blets of wood, and the cask then filled with
alcohol. This cvinces the humanizing effect which
such savage punshments have upon the minds of
those engaged in their nAiction Respectable officers
of the law, before the body cod stealing ii to be
sold to the doctors Is Mt that rich.

In the House of Commons on the first night of
the session, the ministerial and the opposition lead
ersboth volunteered explanations on the clrcum-
stances which led TO the late ministerial crisis
These explanations now belong to history. Their
interest is merged in the still greater plans for the
future which the financial scheme of the Premier
has developed. The personal feelings and jeal-

world in proportion as they bear upon and IN
