PARpoNIso OF CoNvrcTs-The other day, the
Governor commuted the punishment of death, in
the case of Jones, who was convicted of arson. to
imprisonment for life in the State Prison, and
Mathew Wood is to be hanged on Friday next.
Now, we do not see why Woods punishment
should not be committed likewise. 1t is true, he
is an Irshman and in some quarters that may be
considered an aggravation of the offence, and he
is also a white man, which may likewise be con-
sidered an aggravation In the present state of
the public mind in regard to anti-slavery. But
taking every thing into consideration, we think
the Governor ought by all means to commute the
sentence of Wood, and treat hun with the same
benevoence and consideration as ne did the case
of Jones. There was a great deal of blood shed
in front of the Astor Place Theatre, on the tenth
of May last, and as the sacrifice of life on that &C.
casion was applauded by many Of those benevo-
lent individuals, who have been soliciting the
communication of the sentence OF this cuprt, we
think this should be another inducement for the
kind Governor to exert his prcrogatlve and to try
and strike balance on the red account of blood,
according to the ethics and morals of this city, as
adudicated upon by men IN authority Persons
collecting around the Astor Place Theatre, ON the
particular night referred to and crowding in the
way, might be shot down freely by the sodlery
called out for the occasion. Such courage,
bravery, and determination, as were exhibited on
that melancholy occasion, brought forth the ap-
pause of all Europe, and therefore it is right and
proper, that although the chief magistrate of the
city filed up the goblet of blood in the Astor
Place riots, the chief magistrate ofthe State should
now, that he has the chance, fill the goblet
with the milk of human kindness and let the poor
Irshman escape. We hope the Governor will ex-
tend mercy in this case.
