sgS-Thc labors of all men both in the world of
mind and matter tend only TO the production Of
themselves The character, tendencies, and ulti-
mate of the principles then man seeks 70 propa-
gate may be very we'll determined by ascertain
ing the nature and the character of the man who
seeks to propagate them. On this hypothesis
we should like to have Stephen A. Douglas
and Chas. Sumner, who stand in a. measure at
the extreme ends of principles which now agi-
tate the country, contrasted.
The former profane, vulgar, tobacco-chcw-
ing, rum-drinking, boisterous, rowdysh individ-
ual; the latter, a scholar, gentleman, christ
ian-whosc mouth is not defiled by rum, tobacco,
or oaths. The former speaks and his speech is
remembered only until the subsideEcc of the
evil passions it aroused, and whenever he moves
there follows clamor, discord, and brawl The
latter speaks and his speeches are gathered into
volumes, and the world seeks and studies them
for its profit and advancement, and when he
moves there follows kinder feelings and peace.
Where an OK is to be consumed whole and an
indefinite quantity of bad liquor TO be imbibed,
Douglas is invited to give zest to the occasion.
When something is to be done for humanity, to
give it new impulse upward and onward,
Sumner is called for to put the ball in motion
We might continue the comparison Indefinite
ly, but enough The moral is this; call things
by what names we please, the question involved
in the strife is ultimately whether we shall have
a nation Of Douglases or Summers

5nne now before us, says that the statistics prove
that such occurrences are more frequent in the
States where capital punishment is the law than
where it is not; and very properly attributes
them to that doctrine of vengeance which the law
and its friends inculcate.
1t is clear then, that the existence of the death
penalty does not prevent murder, nor will it pre-
vent mobs. To prevent mobs the mode it seems
to us is perfectly plain. Let those engaged in
them be dealt with properly. They murdered
both Maybcrry and De Bar in more revolving
spirit and shocking manner, than they murder
ed their victims We do not ask that they shall
be killed in return. Let them be shut up in the
penitentiary for life time, and we will be re-
sponsible for any similar mobs which viii occur
during the next quarter of century.
In conclusion, it will be recolected, that soon
after the abolition of the death penalty in Michi-
an, several shocking murders occurred there in
rapid succession. There as here, there was much
excitement and feeling, and those who favored
the death penalty were camorous for its resto-
ration, and predicted such restoration, as soon
as the Legislature met, without question. But
the Legislature did not restore it, Michigan
adhered to her policy, and at the present time
her criminal statistics compare fav orably with
other states and no thought of restoring the
death penalty is entertained.
Wiscon. in will probably do as Michigan has
done, and with the same result. Last winter q
legislature elected with no experience as to the
measure happened to be friendly to the restoration
of the death penalty. The public attention be-
ing fairly aroused we doubt whether any such
accident viii again occur.
