Springfield, this week, and held some very
interesting sessions. One purpose of this
convention was general organization which
should bind the churches more closely togeth-

had very pure form Of Congregationalism,
being in this respect unlike the Congregational
churches in Connecticut, which, from the early
times, have been "consoca;ed' in districts
according to the aybrook platform. AT
Springfield an organization for the state has
been completed with constitution and by
laws. The following is the constitution that

Abolishing the Death Penalty.

Michigan, Wisconsin, aud some other
States, have abolished the punishment Of
death, substituting confinement in the
State Prison for life. Inthe States named
the experiment has been tested for years,
and all attempts 10 restore hanging have
found but little favor with the people or
their representatives. The Assembly Of
New York has passed bill to abolish cap
ilsl punishment in that State, by decided
vote. The bill is brief and simple, sub.
sttuting for death Imprisonment for life,
with the effect Of civil death. Offences
now capital are not to be bailable in any
case. The person convicted OF murder is
to be considered dead 10 all intents and
purposes as respects matrimonial relations
and all civil and property rights.
The certainty OF punishment, rather
than its extreme severity, operates to re-
strain the sanguinary passions OF men,
Penalties should be as moderate as the
protection OF society will admit Of, and
these should invariably be executed
Although death is the penalty by law for
murder in the first degree in Ohio, and it
is often incurred it is but rarely indeed
executed Hanging has become obsolete.
Not one Of the many murders committed
in Cincinnati 70 years past, has been thus
punished, although the perpetrators in
nearly every instance hive been put on
trial. So Of this city and otLer portions
OF the State. Juries will not convict ol
murder in the first degree SO long as
death is the sentence which must follow.
The death penalty is the relic of bar
bsrous age and defective civilization
The protection Of society and reformation
Of the criminal enter less into the extreme
penalty than the motive Of vengeance,
and with tie EUsning Post we rejoice 10
think that the days are nearly numbered
in which society shall insist ubon lie lor

A Southern Rebuke.

so conspcuously figured, says;
As citizon of q Slave state, u is with

to browbeat is too frequently manitestdu by
the representatives of siaveholdiDg constit-

being regarded as types of the Southern

msrkable for tho absence Of everything like
blustor and bravado in his deportniont to.
wards his fellow men. Tho excuse which
Barksdalc, Davis and their confreres give
for their indccorous and seemingly reck kIoss
conduct is. that Northern men are towards,
and can't be mado to fight, which is about
the greatest mistake that mortal man over
made. The native born American is natur-
nllv brave. aud wo care not whether he bo
found in Now England or in tho Cotton
States. Whenever and wherever tho cour-
ago OF tho Yankee has boon fairly tested, il
has been fund equal to tho necessities OF
tho occasion. Whenever patriotism. duty
or the defense of tho country calls them to
tho tented fsld, there 10 no poril they will
not daro, no sacrifice they will not make. -
We havo but little patience with those who
cast surs upon the valor of any portion of
tho pcoplo of our common country. Away
with tho foolish idea that Northern man
is coward because he does not recognize
tho dueiio as au institution. Those who de.
spise them on this account would DO much
more chary of their abuse, If they we're con'
scious that their own lives would pay the

The Presidential Protest.


During the contest which preceded the
election Of Speaker Of The House, CERTAIN
Democratic members made statements
showing that while the Lecompton Con-
siuution was pending in Congress, the
PresideUt sought, by corrupt means, TO
obtain votes for that measure. Acting,as
we suppose. upon these statements, the
House, on the 9th ult., adopted resolu.
tioa introduced by Mr.. Covode, Of Pa,
providing for committee Of five TO in
vestigate charges Of Executive corruption.
The committee YVES accordingly ap.
pointed, und has begun its labors. -
Against this action OF the House, MIR.
Buchanan, in the true royal style. has en-
tered his solemn protest. He claims that,
ms the President is "a coordinate branch
Of the Government" and "lhe only direct
representative on earth Of the people OF all
and each OF the sovereign States" the
House has no right TO institute such an
inquiry-o or, in other words, that, unless it
seeks TO impeach him, without previous
investigation, il must not question his con.
duct or motives. A very convenient doc.
trine truly, but one which finds little favor
except i'll he maxim, "The King can DO
no wrong"
Though there is some plausibility in
Mr.. Buchsnan's extraordinary Protest,
its arguments are, in the main, predicutsd
upon false premises, and exceedingly
weak and pitifui. A notorious Federalisl
at heart, and the chief of an Administra'
ton distinguished for its disposition 10 en-.
croach upon the Legislative department
i. lily becomes him TO protest against the
appointment Of committee TO inquire
into Executive corruption and abuse /; and
II not vulnerable, he would be very un
likely 70 DO so. He has evidently for
gotten letter written by himself, in 1858
which contained these remarkable words
In the last age, although our fathers
like ourselves, were divided into potica

with each other, YET VIC never heard un

A Democratic Republic. all agree, caunc

When this is corrupted and the peopl
become venal, there 10 cancer at the roc
of the tree Of Liberty, which must caus

The evil which Mr.. Buchanan deplorc
in 1863, has been constantly increesin
for years. Under bis own Administrator
Il seems 10 have reached the culmini
ting point, and become too great to !
