Leahy, who killed Manly, in Wisconsin lately,
was deeply injured man, and did precisely
what any other man would have done in similar
situation. Manly acted criminally with Leahy's
wife.--Exck
There are some men who would not have acted
so. Such wrong calls for all the fortitude man
can summon to his aid but good meu triumph
by of IT, and the world justifes and respects
them: while he who murders his injurer does so
out of respect to the erroneous opinions Of q
portion Of his fellow men, and is thus sure TO
murder his own happiness also. Newspapers
have wide influence on the conduct of men,
and hence editors should becareful how they pro-
pagate notions so disastrous in their practical APP
plication. To possess wife whose honor is not
her husbands best safeguard is a great misfor-
tune; but to "put her away" however it may
try the affections, is the only proper and lawful
remedy. II the laws of the land are not adequate
to punish the wrong -doer, it is unfortunate; but
the fact does not warrant the nAicting of private
revenge.

Of that nation. The same means might have
been applied to Mexico. Indeed, our respected
