The Republic of this morning says
sWe learn that the President has declined to
commute the sentence Of death passed upon Wells
for the murder of the boy Mundell. The decision
of the President was communicated last evening
to Wells who received it with great frmness and
declared that he had cherished no expectations
Of any other result, and resigned to his fate.
The last sentence Of the law will be carried into
execution within the walls of the prison on Fri
day morning next, between 8 and IL O'clock"
+ We have read the above announcement with
deep regret. The President will, however, be
this day and probably tomorrow importuned by
many intelligent, just, and humane citizens of
Washington to spare the life of Wells. We are
sure that no resolution has been formed by that
high officer that interfere with any legitimate
influence upon his mind and until the last mo-
ment we shall not despair of his merciful inter-
position.
P.S.-lS p. MIR. p G. Pratt, of George
town; Rev. William Hamilton, of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, Rev. J. C. Smith, of the
Fourth Presbyterian Church; and Rev. Leo
Rosser, of the Methodist Episcopal Church South
-four gentlemen who were never before brought
together upon any occasion-this morning called
upon the President in company. Mr.. Webster
happened to be present They made an earnest
appeal, and submitted petition and statement
in support of their appeal. The President lis
tened to them with great interest, and appointed
eleven o'clock tomorrow for another hearing.
What is RIGHT will be DONE The laws of our
country, the dictates of humanity, and the laws
of God, must be the same. JUSTICE and MERCY,
we are sure, will prevail and We trust that in
view of these things may lead to conviction that
the sacrifice of the life of the prisoner Wells is
not necessary, and is therefore.wrong.
