chase the Steiger house, and, to make that
friend secure, he had the legal title to this
property vested in his friend, William Selden

Tatem being called upon, stated that Mr.. Will
burn had informed him g he had purchased no

MORAL BEAUTY.-Although Burke has writ
ten well upon what constitutes moral beauty,
yet in our days, have We not seen better
illustration than ID exemplifed by the course
and conduct of the present Governor Of the
State of Maryland and the Rev. John P.
Carter, of the same State, in relation to the
case Of Amos Green, black boy, charged
with heinous crime, OF which, II guilty, land
the evidence appears conclusive at this dis
tance,) he richly deserves his fate, as would
the "highest officer in our land" to use
the words of the infexible Governor. On the
other hand, if there had been mitigating cir
cumstances, which would make the poor wretch
victim of the law, the responsibility is with
portion of the people Of the vicinity of the al
legged outrage, as the Baltimore Sun suggests !;
but the skirts Of the Governor and the worthy
clergyman, and other humane individuals, are
clear of the blood Of Amos Green. The awful
punishment to be inflicted by the law will GER
tainly be salutary, as indicative Of what is to
be the result Of Infamous practices, whether in
high or low station.
There has been much excitement in rela-
ton to the case alluded to. We agree that the
wicked wretch should be punished, and the
chances he has been thought to have of escape
are deplorable; but they grow out of the hor-
rible cruelty Of capital punishment in which
zoe can see no moral beauty. If confinement,
labor, and the opportunity for repentance were
the fate of the felon, the law would be more
certainly executed; an erroneous verdict could
be retrieved; crime would, as we think, be quite
as efectually restrained, and the deed of stran,
Cling human being, with all its consequences
| avoided
