New Principle Of American Law.

New PRINCIPLE Oh American LaW,
1t appears that the Jury in the Sickles
case assumed to be clothed with Legisla-
tive power instead of Judicial, as is usual;
and by the rendering Of their verdict laid
aside the law, evidence, and instructions
of the court, and sought to establish a
"new principle in American law,'' viz
that adultery is a capital offence and the
punishment to be inflicted by the agrieved.
While we may be prepared 70 admit our
willingness to forget the demands Of law
in cases where a home of purity has been
invaded; involving the ruin of one, and
dishonoring the other, whose previous con-
duct and associations proves, beyond doubt
an utter ~perversion on the one part, and
dishonor on the other, by insidious wiles
and assiduous articles. But before adopt
ing this "new principle inlavv'' we should
consider where it may lead us. There is
already too prevelant a practice of taking
the law into ones own hands, and if con-
tinued encouragement be given, advances
will be made step by step, until the result
will be absolute and universal lawlessness.
There is in our mind no better way of
vindicating the majesty of law than by
adhering closely to It's letter. Everywhere
a wise provision of Executive power can
be relied upon to relieve those amenable
to strict law, andyet absolved by equity.
A Baltimore paper referring to the
"new principle" very sensibly says:
Chow far the ''new principle" is to extend is not
stated. Is it TO be confined to members Of Congress
exclusively, or are all husbands throughout the land
to DO invested with this power Of life and death, for
the protection Of their honor ? Is every man who
may be cursed with a prostitute for a wife to be at
liberty TO shoot at sight, or in his own time and at
his own place, any one who may have participated
in her folly and her sin Is the "principle," more
over, 70 he confined in itsepplicltion to one sex, or
does it extend to bOth3 Are wives tohave the same
rights with their husbands, and be authorized to kill
the destroyers Of their domestic ptaee2 And,
finally, what provisions, If any, is to be made for
those who have no natural guardian to Wieldin their
behalf, the weapons of death-the widowed and the
fatherless--the exposed, and oftimes soreIy tempted
daughters Of the poverty and toila Is Il only the
virtue ct married women that is weak and requires
the protection Of Derringeri and revOlvers, or are We
to have q public assassin, armed at the public ex-
pense, to avenge the wrongs of the poor and the
friendIess which must otherwise go unavenged sin
the absence Of any adequate punishment by Law p
These are some Of the questions which the jury in
the Sickles' case have omitted TO answer, if indeed
they ever stopped 90 consider, but which are meme the
less obviously suggested BY the most eursory and
partial consideration Of the detestabIe doctrine which
they have sought to make "a principle Of American
law"
