Sympathy for Criminals.

We are not among those who find fault with
any proper expression of sympathy for those
condemned for transgressing the laws of the
land. We believe all such, though worthy of
punishment are still objects of pity, and we
would have them feel, while they are suffering
the deserts of their crimes, that there are those
who do not wish they had escaped this pun
ishment by eluding the law, but who yet Ia
ment that they should have been led to break
that law, and rendered themselves liable to
the infection of its penaltics-those who feel
for them all the sympathy which man owes
his brother man, even while enforcing the
punishment that the good of society demands
We care not how much of such sympathy is
manifested-the more of it the better-for
nothing will tend SO much to soften the heart
of the criminal-to awaken in his breast con-
triton for his faults-love for his fellow men,,
and respect for the laws of the land and the
principles of justice. But we fear that con-
siderable portion of the sympathy manifested
for those who fall into crime, is not of this
character. Ii IL was, IL WOULD not eApeHo IL
self entirely on those the most guilty, those
who have enjoyed every advantage, and yet
have fallen into crime, while it never extends
to the individual whom fortune in his infancy
placed in the midst of crime-who never was
taught, save by the monitor within, the wrong
fulness of the course he was pursuing; nor to
the man whom mis- ortune has broken down,
and who, in a moment of dependency, has
plunged into guilt. That sympathy that is
extended only to the individual who has
moved in what is called high society, who has
had thousands at his command, who has pow
erful friends, has enjoyed the favor of the COM
munity, but which flows not out towards the
poor criminal-that sympathy that is moved
by delicate skin and dashing or gentleman
" exterior, but is never awakened in behalf of
the man whose sunburnt brow, hard hands
and coarse attire, proclaim him son of toll,
and perhaps of misfortune-that sympathy

ding The tubers were throughout smaller
than usual, very scabby, and within these
fields, to small extent, attacked by the wet
rot.
In the end of August, the difference in the
rows treated by me, and those not treated, be-
came so striking, that it astonished all the
work people in the neighborhood, who were
never tired of inquiring the cause. The stalks
of the rows left to themselves were all now
partly dried, partly dead. On the contrary,
the rows treated above were luxuriant and in
full vigor, the plants bushy, the foliage thick,
the leaves large and dark green, so that most
people supposed they had been later planted.
But the difference in the tubers was also
very decided. The tubers in the plants in the
rows treated on my plan were not, indeed
larger, but vastly more numerous, and they
were neither scabby nor affected with any
disease whatever. few had pushed (Which
was to be ascribed to a late rain) and were
apparently, incompletely developed, while
scab and wet rot attacked more and more the
tubers of the other plants, which also fell off
on the slightest handling.
Although l am far from believing that
am able to explain the nature of the potato
disease which has visited us of late years, yet
feel certain that have discovered means
of strengthening the potato plant to such a
degree as to enable it to resist the influences
which determine such diseases.
Should any one be deferred from continuing
the cultivation of potatoes, on account OF the
manipulation here recommended, which may
be performed by women and even by child
rem, + l would remind him that the same field
planted with potatoes is capable Of supplying
food to twice as many persons as when en-
ployed to grow wheat.

cape, while it would see the utmost rigor OF
the law exercised towards "ths poor and
fricndlcss villain that sympathy, we say, is
not of the right stamp, and the less we have
OF 1T in the community, the better. Such
sympathy has, it must be confessed, often pre-
vented the Just execution of the law-it has
allowed the most silly excuses as pretext for
turning aside the sword of justice. The plea
of insanity, or the still more ridiculous one OF
sons7aambaisn,, has saved the finely dressed and

the father who has been rendered frantic by
the cries of his children for bread, has been
imprisoned for pilfering few loaves to supply

but let it be exercised, at least, as much for
the most deserving of them as for the worst

WASHINGTON, Aprll Ia,
oENATE.--Mr Downs, of Louisiana, offered
a resolution, calling upon the Secretary of the
Treasury for a statement Of the quantity OF
foreign sugar imported into the United States
from July lS47 to April the 4th, 1S4S-which
lies over.
Mr.. Dix, Of New York, moved to take up
the bill relating to the repeal of the pilot laws,
which was agreed to. Mr. Dix adduced
various arguments showing the expedency OF
repeating the present laws which he consider
ed operated injuriously upon the pilots of the
city of New York, who had severely suffered
i'll their business by the unequal operation OF
the laws in question. lie considered that the
control of the pilot laws should be left to the
State Legislatures.
Mr.. Miller, of New Jersey, proceeded to
reply to Mr.. Dix. lie defended the existing
pilot laws, and the New Jersey pilots in par
ticular. He considered that the pilotage of
New York harbor had, from partial state legis-
lation, grown up to be a gross monopoly, alike
detrimental to the spirit of our institutions
and the commercial interest of the chief COM
mcrcial mart of the Union,
He was followed by Mr.. Davis. of Massa-
chusetts in opposition to the bill. The bill
was then informally laid aside.
And the Senate laid aside the morning busi-
ness, ana proceeded TO the consideration OF
the bill providing for the payment of the
California claims
The first thing in order was the amendment
offered yesterday by Mr.. Mason, of Va, in
favor of the appointment of commissioners by
the President, with the advice and consent of
the Senate, for the examination of the claims.
Mr.. Badger. N. c., offered an amendment
authorizing the President to appoint Col. FIRE.
mont and other officers as members of the
board of examiners.
Mr. Badger addressed the Senate at con-
siderable length. He commended that Com
gress had constitutional powers authorizing it
to appoint commissioners to examine claims,
without entrenchiDg upon the prerogative of
the Executive.
Mr.. Butler, of South Carolina. made brief
speech in reference to the powers claimed for
Congress. He denied that Congress had power
to appoint such officer.
Mr.. Benton exatiated largely upon the sub
ject, and pronounced the power claimed by
Congress unconstitutional.
Mr.. Phelps, of Vermont proceeded to adj
dress the Senate against the constitutionality
