From the Spirit ofthe South.
Should Capital Punishment be Abol-
ished.

THIS is the subject which has been con-
81 erabIy agitated in our country, aud as
it is an all important one, it should be
thoroughly investigated. How shall we,
when men of the profoundest wisdom, and
the highest order of intellect, have not
been able to answer this absorbing ques-
ton. Many strong arguments have Ueeu
advanced both pro and con, and drawing
our conclusion from these, we think that
ctpital punishment should be abolished !;
AID we shall endeavor TO advance such
proof, as we, in our humble judgement,
deem sufficient to substantiate our posi-
tion. In the iirss place let Us consider
the object OF punishment. 1t rs to deter
men from offending against the common
and established rule OF socie,y. Now, the
question naturally suggests itself, will cap
ilal punishmen, do this We answer
that il will not, at least not 20 we'll as some
other modes more lenent, which are in
vogue at the present time. For il is said
that although capital punishment may
appear very horrible to the eye yet it is
not the intenseness OF the pain which ha:
the greatest etfct upon the mind, but tn,
continuance Of il; tor our sensibiliiies ar,
more powerfully effected by weak but re
peated impressions, than by violent bu
momentary impulse.
The death OF criminal as ] before sait
is a terrible but Inomentary spectacle, anC

ring others than the repeated sight OF I

HONEST LABoR-Lsbor, honest labor,
is right and beautiful. Activity is the rul-

LuSuries and conquests are the result Of
labor,-we can imagine nolhing without
it. The noblest man Of earth is he who
puts his hands cheerfully and proudly to
honest labor. Labor is business and Or

his head to the sole of his foot, unless he

debtor and slave of toll. The labor which
he scorns has tracked him into the stat

1--WE regret to learn that W. c. Adams
esq, Of lberville parish, died a few days since
at Shelbyville, KY. He was one of the most
enlightened and prosperous sugar planters in
the State, and was universally respected for
his unbounded hospitality, friendly disposition,
and frank and candid nature. He was a brother
of the late Christopher Adams, for many years a
prominent member Of the state senate, an en-
terprising planter, and one of the oldest and
most successful merchants of New Orleans.
Iberville can i'll afford to lose two such citizens
as Kit and Clark Adams Shreveport South

Is Friday an UnluCky Day.

From time immemorial, Friday has been
irowned upon rs 4 day Of i'll omen. And though
this prejudice is less prevalen, now than il has
been of yore, when superstition had general

of-fact ace of ours, who would hesitate on 4

of momentous import. 70 show with how
much reason this feeling is INDUCED, let us exc
anime the following important facts in connec-
ton with our greatness as a nation.
