on an appeal.
This morning Justice Catron delivered the opinion
Of the court sustaining that of the Circuit Court,
saying that the condition of the pardon was not the
exercise Il a new power, but merely substitution
of Que punisament for another and arguing that the
psrdoning pow eT must be understood as 1t existed in
England and these colonies prior to the formation OF

Justices Curtis and Campbell concurring, said II
was understood assuming that write Of error in

therefore the case should be dismissed.

fined to positive law, in the absence OF which. in this
case the conditional pardon WAS not sustainabe II

Ii is Il matter Of general surprise among men i'll
formed in the matter, that in the numerous cOmpli
mcntary notices of prominent services rendered by
mumbers of the late General Assembly, the name of
the Senator from augusta, has been siugunry over

services Of DR.. Harris at the late interesting session,
know tina; NJ Senator exhibited more interchangeable
energy, greater addreas, tact, intelligence and bold
ness In advancing ali the vast material interests of
our mother Commonwealth, and in vindcating the
soundest doctrines of State Rights Democracy. His
speeches upon the internal Improvement and imam
cnl policy of the State, and in advocacy Of the
of Bank reform, were earnest, powerful and states
lnanike efforts, which commanded profound aten-
ton, and have been repeatedly referred to in the pre-
of the writer by the ablest judges in terms of
unqualified admiration. Indeed, upon all the great
interests which elected such able discussions at the
late session, the action of this gentleman imbued
with spirit Of independence, bold progressveness
and reform, which constitute the political atmosphere
of the Tenth Legion DEMOCRACY, whose exponent
aud champion he is.
Or. Harris has Just attained the meridian Of his
powers; gifted with a mcrcurial temperament, adm
rable address, and indGnitable energy. remarkable
Cor the strength, direStIess and Loldness with which
he grappes with his utject in debate he haS long
career OF usefulness before him which his friends
