Here Is system Of living founded on the high
est principles Of temperance and strict morality.
If both Of the combatants escape without loss of
fife, and should they adopt, in after life, the system
Of living which they pracused while tra,ning-and
If they were to add to that little OF true religion
we say in spite of their past life, they would be in
regular training for life of immortal happiness
hereafter We hope, If both escape with lite from
this brutal contest, that they will take these
views and suggestions into conslderatlsn, and
that they may become better members of So
ciety than what they have heretofore been. Sulli-
van, we understand, has been the chief and cham
pi0n Of a class OF society composed Of persons
similar in every respect to hlmseli--nOt re6aed;
not by any means classical in either their tastes or
IDEAS nor highly elevated their conceptions but
generally possessing principles OF good sense
and sound intelligence. Thomas Hyer Is an
elegant and fine looking young man, has been the
pet of fashionable society In this city pugist,
and in appearance and symmetry OF person, almost
equals the statues of Apollo 1t is probable that he
will soon return to this city, and grace the Opera
and the saloons of Park Place and upper Broadway
with his presence, If he should not be demanded by
the authorities of Maryland to answer for the vo-
ation of the laws of that State. If the Legislature
at Albany have passed law against prize fighting
well and good; but we doubt if any OF Its pro-
visions will reach either Of the combatants in this
case. II such law has not yet been passed, we
trust it will be enacted at once; and we hope every
State in the Union will follow our example.
Many, however, believe that there Is law enough
to punish all the parties this brutal exhibition.
While we speak thus leniently and mode
rately of this prize fight, we hope and
trust, whatever the Issue may be, that 1t
will be the last prize fight that will ever take place
in this country. The past cannot be recalled--the
evil that 10 done cannot be undone but the life
now in danger may be saved yet; the eyes
that are now bunged up may be opened, and the
bruises which they have given to each other may
be healed by the skill Of good surgeon. Let us
hope that all CT .sses of socety--the pious as we'll
as the unpious, the high and the low-may, out of
this evil, draw something of good and hope for
the future.
