There is no declaration Of Gov. Polk in his
inaugural, says the St. Louis Leader, that de
serves to be more widely bruited, or should
occasion more general satisfaction, than that
of his intention not to use the pardoning pow
er, SO as to confer practical impunity upon
crime. Without tho slightest reflection upon
the outgoing administration, we may be per-
mitted to observe that the prerogative of mer
cy which our laws wisely accord to the Chief
Magistrate, requires that the person to whom it
is committed should have the heart Of a Roman,
to resist the appeals that are made to it by the
friends Of criminals. Gov. Polk means to let
the law take its course, except in the clearest
cases. and the community learn the fact with
delight commensurate to the insecurity that was
beginning to be felt. Let rogues and all blood
thirsty villains take notice. While. Polk rules
Missouri, if they rob and are convicted, they
must expect the pcnitentiary, and if they mur.
der and bowie-knife, they mnst, as they ought
swing for it.

gY The latest advices from Spain state that
the election of Mr.. Buchanan had caused =
great sensation at Madrid, in consequence ofthe
doctrines in the Ostend Manifesto concerning
Cuba" The Spaniards should remember for their
consolation that Pierce and his party went into
power in '5S laundering most frgntfully against
their country, but have proved as harmless to.
ward her as so many bleating lambs. Possibly
| there is no more fight in Buchanan than there is
in Pierce. Buchanan didn't get half SO near the
British at Baltimore in 1918 as Pierce did to the
Mexicans in lS47.
