produced the phenomenon.

Uncertainties of tho Law.

No thoughtful man can be quite satisfied with the operation of the law against mur- der, IL does not seem so bad that a de. liberate murderer should be hanged, for this may be the best thing that can be done with him; but the trouble is in the terrible uncertainties that surround the whole subject.
 It must be admitted that, in all cases, it is the motive of an act which constitutes its guilt or innocence. Yet this motive, in re- spect to murder, may not have the least weight. Forinstance, man may deliberate y intend to kill another. He advances upon him, with murder in his heart, strikes a blow with a bIudgeon, which he means shall be fatal; but the blow does not take effect. The intended victim is only slightly injured, and the murderer is tried for as saut and battery.
 Now take an exactly opposite case, where a man, excited to anger, simply wishes to iniure another, but has no thought of killing him. He strikes a blow, and ii proves fatal, in motive he has committed an assault; but the law conyicts him of murder, anG hangs him accordingly.
 So little are motives taken into account so much do we punish consequences. II is so in the smallest things. A child lets fall a plate. It is picked up unbroken, and is the subject of a pleasant remark. Next day the same child breaks the plate, and il is whipped for it. There was the same care IeSsness in both cases, but we punish consequences.
 Itis common thing, when one man has severely injured another, 10 hold him in custody until the result is determined, and then he is either indicted for murder, or lei off on light bail; when ii is evident that the result does not in the slightest degree affect the real criminaIity.
 May it not be that our whole theory of punishment is wroug? May it not be that leaving motives, sin, and punishment to an iniaIIibIe judge, we should simply concern ourselves with what is necessary for the protection of society," In this case, a man would be imprisoned, not because he had committed this or that crime, but because il was judged unsafe for him to be at large And so all violent and disorderIy persons, all idle vagabonds and known depredators might be taken care of, as measure of public safety. In this way vast number of crimes might be prevented. To wait until aman has committed a crime, and then lock him up, has most unfortunate resem- blance to the famous plan of locking the stable door after the horse is stolen. Per- haPs, in this case, as in so many others prevention is better than cure.

South Carolina and Crest Britain

South Carolina and Great Britain.
 When We spoke yesterday of the cores pondence between the British consul al Charleston and the Governor of South Caro- lima, we judged of it from the representa- tions of other papers. We have since seen it, and it is even richer than we supposed. Tine consul, in his first letterto the Governor, tells him that South Carolina has derived great advantages from the commercial liberality of Great Britain, and asks that the South Carolina Legislature, now in session, shall repeal, so far as Great Britain is con- cerned, the law of the State, under which coIored persons, arriving in a trading vessel, are taken from he vessel and imprisoned in the common jails until its departure Now, if a Northern State or all the North ern States were 10 ask of Governor Means the repeal of that law, so far as it applies to them, his reply would questionably embody all the fire, fury, blood, thunder, and Quattebummery of the terrible State he represents. But just see what mild, gentle, affectionate, and dove-like answer he makes to Great Britain, actually holding out the idea to her that all she asks will be done.

President Fillmore and his Cabinet.


 Never, we believe, since the establish ment ot the Government, has any Admins tration given more universal satisfaction to every section of the country,in in the discharge of public duty, than the present. 50 satls- factory, indeed, has the public acts of Mr.. FilImore's administration proven, that some of the most nl ia of the opposition papers have had't u3agnanimity 10 speak Of t in terms of unconditional approval. Even the Washington Union, the leading demo- cratic paper of the country, says: "The course of President Fillmore has, so far, been generally commended" In truth, it is difficult to imagine how any alIusions to the administration can be made, except with the greatest respect, when il is con- sidered with what patriotic ardor the Pres ident and his Cabinet have devoted their talents and industry to the interests of the country, the whole country, without refer ence 10 section or locality. In the discharge of public duties, MT. Fillmore and his Minis ters have known no North, no South, no East, no West-eVery section of this wide spread Republic has received the fostering care of the Government. The fearful agit- alton on the slavery question, which few months since shook the confederacy 10 its very centre, has happily subsided, land the country now is comparatively y quiet; and it would be doing gross injustice to our wise and patriotic chief magistrate not 10 accord to hm the need of praise so richly merited for his undertaking manly y course in the set clement of this perpIexing question, and afterwards for his recommendation of i'm plicit obedience to, and positive assurances of enforcing, the laws, under all circumstan- ces. In the language of the Petersburg (Va.) InteIligencer, when MT. Fillmore succeeded to the Presidency, the country was in a crisis from which nothing but the most con- |summaie pru&ence, frmness, and sagacity could rescue if. At that time a false step or an unmanIy and time-serving faltering with the tremendous issues which were pending, would not only have been fatal tc his Administration, but to the Union itself The emergency was a fearful one, but MT Fillmore proved himself equal to it. His message to- Congress dispeIIed all doubt and all fear, and, after twelve months of agita- ton, the country breathed freely, and all was calm again.
