IL The bill introduced ii, the House hy
our able and energetic Representative to pro-
hlo't the impslsonunehl IN the penitentiary of
slaves, has passed the Senate and We hone
will be concurred in by the Governor. It is
well known that so far from its being a pun
ishnent TO ln1prison in a Penitentiary, it is
regarded by some as a boon. 1t was stated
oy a Senator, some years ago, that a negro in
the Penltentiary had conveyed news to his
black friends outside, that it was not disagree
able to be confined there-they had plenty
to eat--tould work outside the walls. and that
their work was not so hard as on a plantation.
1t Is unnecessary to say that such information
reaching the ears of slaves, is calculated to
tempt negroes TO commit crime.
