THE MORAL CONDITION OF THE


At no period within our recollection, have
greater efforts been made By the moral and relig-
ious portions of the community for the well being
and reformation of the people Means Of edu-
cation have multiplied so that every child in the
community'can become enlightened, churches have
increased and pious pastors have exerted them
selves to instruct the people in religions and NOR
sunday schools abound. and philanthropic as
sociations are formed to set an example Of hui
rnanity and encourage good conduct n short
tIere can be no apology for those who choose
wilfully to stray.from the path Of rectitude, and
to fly in the face Of the law. And JET, notwith-
standing all these advantages, what is the actual
moral condition Of society? Crime Of every grade
IS rapidly on the increase. Murders, Robberies,
and other horrible offences against law and the
well known being Of society are perpetrated dali
by, and scarcely paper is issued throughout the
whole country which does not contain narrative
Of some detestable crime, And what has produ-
eed this demoralizad condition Of society We
answer to the best Of our belief that it is caused
by the great influx Of foreign criminals and Vaga-
honds They have spread through the country,
corrupting and destroying in their progress and
rendering honest people unsafe in the streets and
public highways, and even ii their beds. Those
who heretofore did not dream Of arming Them
selves on taking a walk o. Of boiling and barring
their doors onFetiring to rest, now place reyol-
yer "a &c pockets or under their pillows, lest

safety without carrying the means Of protection
against assault It was this disorganized state q
society this utter defiance Of al law that IL
ducea the citizens Of San Francisco to take the
punishment Of criminals into their own hands,
and to make the infection summary and complete
, It had most saiutary effect; but when the coma
itteeof safety dissolved the old scenes were soon
RECOMMENDED and murder and robb became
again Of daily occurrence.
