IS The revision of the criminal code of tile
State has become an Mperious necessity.
The severity of that code has not dimin-
ished the frequency Of crime. On the con-
trafy, the passions which led to criminal
exeesses appear to be under little or no re-
strafnt, from the sdisproportioned penalties
imposed by law, and which are nossenfotced
from the indisposition Of juries to convict.
The epardoning power is occasionally ssexerted
improperly, even when juries convict, from
the same cause. To descend to particulars
is unnecessary. There is not q court of
criminal sessions, in any. judicial district of
the State, that does not furnish examples.
Harmony, therefore, between the law and
it's administration demands a revision of our
criminal code,cif not required on eonsidera-
ton OF policy and abstract Justice. ,,.
For the severe punisbments, which we're
devised at an early period Of our history,
there was, perhaps, sufficient reason and
necessity. But with the change of circum-
stances, there should be conformity be
tween crime and it's penalty. There are
some offences punishable with death that
should no longer remain on the statdtesbook
opinion. susilSseo ss''fsT,n between puInG iaw
