PUBLIC OPINION vs.. LAw-We often hear the senti-
nent expressed that we are law abiding people, and
we verify believe that people actually believe it
We pass laws and apparently, at least to spectator,
it would seem as if really intended to abide by them
We hear the cry constantly in respect to certain mea
sures we ought to have mere laws the matter laws
that are binding. We law abiding people? If we
examine it closely we will find that we are law abid-
ing people, if the law in existence happens to agree and
accord with popular opinion. The law in many
instances is regulated by local prejudices and
and local feelings, and its enforcement according c its
spirit would be considered violation Of the freedom Of
public opinion Hence there is not proper enforce
ment of the law We are not exactly people of law
abiding princp pie in its strctest sense. We not
acty governed by the law of the land neither we
disposed to be- but actually say what we WILL by high
er law prncp pie Crime these days in almost evey Sec
ton meets not with its just deserts suffers not the spirit
of the law, for the law is controlled and regulated and
melted out according to the local sentiment prevailing
in accordance with the feelings of the community in
which the crime may have occurred, may occur. In
the Northern States the fugitive slave law controlled
by public opinion-it is dead letter. In the South
the laws against the slave trade laughed at and is
also dead letter. Murder nowadays is punished ac-
cordng to the views of public opinion, not according
to the law So is in regard to almost every matter
popular opinion is the law and controls the opinion of
ures Of what use then rather what sense there
in the making OF more laws when the laws now in exist
imperative, not enforced therefore cannot be
said of any utility We disposed to believe that
where there fewer laws and those enforced there is
less law breaking. Says exchange: We have re-
peaedy heard returned Calfornians declare that the
only society in which they found perfect order and
rty in the dggins, where there was no lea scripture
and lawyers to mould public opinion and ras-
caty from punishment where no law was recognized
but that administered by Judge Lynch
