is good thing what particular preparation do the

believes free trade right and restriction wrong. to
take right hold and labor for the establishment of

The ultra portion the wing party and that portion
of the party which is net included in this category
The utras say that the success Of Fayor Is a dec-
sion in favor of the entire overthrow of the Loco
Foco policy of government and the substitution of
the ultra wing policy instead, whilst the other wing
contends that it is decisive of nothing except the
unboanded confidence Of the people III Gen. Taylor,
that he shall do whatever he plcases, and what
he does do will be exactly right Taylor himself,
By his declarations, belongs this latter wing, and
we incline to the opinion will represent their wishes
by doing just what he pleascs. But on the other
hand should Gen. Taylor prove to be an ultra wing
and disposed to accede to the demands of the ultra
whg party, the Senate, which democratic
will present an insupcrabc bar to the enactment OF
ultra whg measures SO that, of necessity, we don't
see but the administration of Gen. Taylor although
it may be whir, not be ultra whig.

TIE ELEcrIoN.-The Globe. in some
remarks upon the result OF the Presidential

"One remarkable circumstance is already
apparent. If state has been known as

goes for Cass, and if formerly Democratic.
that it now votes for Taylor. Ohio has
been Whg-Cass will carry it by 10000.
Pennsylvania has been the keystone orthe

may be large. New York follows suit.
Ofthc States west Of us, Indiana has been
suspected of an inclination for Whigocrv,
therefore it will probably be carried for
Cass."
"Taylor goes in by the votes Of States
that will repudiate his administration with

while his holl upon Ohio and Massachu-
sets is gone forever. The "Taylorization
Of the Wing party will Rerrr pay eXpen-

CAPITAL PCNIsduEx--The state of Michigan,
it will be racoected, year or two since, abolished
capital PunisElRle The number of murders in
that state IS said, has largely increased since that
step taken, and the Grand jury, we believe, of
Wayne CO., have pettioned the Legislature to re-
store the statute of capital offences TO the book.
1t may be, as is stated, that the number of murders
has increased in that state, but if it be So we
hope this important step in reform, will be has.
ty retraced. The beneficial effects fsuch reforms
are not felt in hour, nor day. If the arguments
Of the opponents of capital punishment are correct,
that state of things which it is claimed exists, ought
not to have been unexpected. 1t is the legitimate
fruit of the gallows education We claim dat the
tendency of these punishments is TO demora!ize and
bruazc the mind, and is possible the gallows may
furnish the only healthy restraint for the subjects it
cducates But we do think it is worth while to try
the opposite system Of education, and for time suf-
icicnt to give it fair trial Try it but 1.-THE Of
She time, the ge1ows system has been tried, and we
feel confident we lrafaPproyhnate to what we have
not yet under that system, viz; me abTogation 81
crime. There is but one ctfecual mode of abolish
ing crime, and that is, by making crime revolving
to the human heart. The fear of the gallows, nor
any other fear, is sufficient to accomplish the end,
for the individual who deliberately commits murder
is much more likely be without fear than to pos
sess it therefore, as we said, the only chcctual
mode of cradcating crime, is to so educate the mind
is to make crime revolving to it. This be done
only by the development of the intellectual and mo-
raj qualities of our nature, and we doubt whether
the most Jealous friend of the galows, will claim
for it any power to assist in that work.
