THE PaRD0NING POWER

Has become very popular, all at once, with
the opponents OF Democracy. If a democratic
Governor pardoned convict, no matter how O.
vrrw heIming the Petitions, and the high cha
racter of the sgners, he was denounced as nfa-
nous and corrupt-as tramplIng beneath his
feet the solemn verdict of Courts and Juries-
and the question was tauntngly asked ''What
use is there in having Courts Of Justice, at the
public expense, if the 0ne Gian power is 10 set
aside their Judgments :" Now, with Cover
nor of their s'own Sort all they demand is that
the convict secures ''signers" asking for his re-
lease aud this they deem Of more importance
than the verdict of sworn jury of disintrrest-
ed men. Such is X. n. Whiggery exemplted.

A SuIrweEcKED INFANTS EscArE.-During
the raging of the storm at HoIlesly, on Saturday
week, in one ofthe stranded vessels was poor
woman and her infant. Beholding but little If
any chance of escape for herself, she yet clung
