The COMMERCIAL CONDITION or The Cow
TRY.-Apart from political embarrassment, this
country was never in more fourishing con-
dition than it is at the present moment Ever
since the revulsion of 1857 its commercial af-
fairs have been going on prosperously, until
the intrigues of the politicians involved us in
the stormy troubles which have befallen during
the last quarter of the year just departed.
Within that period, however, several heavy
failures have taken place, .arising entirely from
political causes During the panic of 81 it is
well known that the greatest defaults occurred
in the West, and that the South was relied
upon with confidence, which the promptness of
it's payments shows was not misplaced. The
West is just beginning to recover itself, and
the abundant crops Of the last harvest would
doubtless have fully restored the prosperity Of
that section; but in the present unsettled posi-
ton OF affairs it is difficult to tell what the end
may be now.
We learn from the annual circular Of Dun,
Boyd & Co.'s mercantile agency that fail
ures have been decreasing in number and
liabilities very steadily in the United States
from 1867 down to October, 1850, as the fol-
lowing table Of failures for the past four years
will show

exceed in amount of liabilities those Of the pre-
cedinr year over fifteen millions and q half,
and we can easily realize the effect which the
political CONFUSION has upon commerce when
We observe that for the first nine months of the
year, up to October last the failures only
amounted to the sum Of forty-fve millions, or
thereabouts, while since then-or during the
political excitement caused by the election of
LiHcOln-additiona failures to the amount of
over thirty-eight and half millions have oo-
CURED. In that period Of time no less than
eight hundred and afty-two houses have failed,
involving the above amount; and when we
consider the prosperous state Of affairs up to q
point within month Of the election, there can
be no doubt whatever that this immense In
crease OF commercial disaster Is attributable to
the political endorsements Of the country.
If this political difficulty can be amicably
adjusted, il is fair to conclude that within
three months from this time the United States
will exhibit degree of commercial prosperity
never seen here before, and rarely enjoyed by
any other nation. Money is pouring In upon
US from Europe; harvest such rs has never
before blessed the land is stored up in the
granariee of the West; we have but little debts,
comparatively, to meet abroad; everything
upon which one can presage future Of wealth,
and comfort and general prosperity-in the
West, ia the East, North and South-surrounds
us, and nothing can defeat the purposes Of
benign Providence but the shortsightedness,
the fanaticism or the stubbornness Of that class
Of men who unhappily hold, not only the poll
teal. but the material, destinies Of this great
country in their hands. 1t is to the politicians
we are indebted for the check thus suddenly
put to a commercial prosperity almost without
parallel. This class, unfortunately, is COM
posed, not Of statesmen, but OF mere adven-
turers-irresponsib and unprincipled men
who, without any regard to the general welfare
Of the country, plunge int extremes and vio-
lent agitation, with view to their personal I'D
vancement in the future within their own
locality OF district; and il 10 deplorable to con-
template the evil they have the power to innict
upon u. Statesmen we have none. since intel
houn passed away. This, with us, Is the age Of
pigmies--small politicians, without genius to
comprehend the nature Of great national
crisis, or virtue enough to prize the safety Of
the whole country above the qualification Of
Shelr own personal ambition; and thus, under
their influence, the dismal prospect is present.
cd to US Of relapsing from the golden age into
which the country is ripening to commercial
an6 political disorganizstion, and the destruc-
lion Of all the hopes which are presented to our
own lips, and which we have heretofore held
out to the world to cheer and stimulate less
favored nations.

GASES by hanging was repealed. The Governor
signed this very singular bill, aud it became
the law of the State. He now proposes that 1t
shall be repealed, and that we shall
return to the old law, which provides
that murder in the first degree shall be capital
" punished. The Governor believes that pub
Lilo sentiment demands the restoration of the
some radical change in this very important
branch of criminal law is really demanded the
whole code must be revised. Since the Legis-
lature abolished the death penalty the number
of murders in cold blood has increased, and 1t
is quite evident that the safety of the commu-
nifty can only be assured by the enforce
ment of the original provisions of the code.
1t may DO that capital punishment is
theoretically wrong; but society is not
yet prepared for its entire abolition. We
have seen all along that public sentiment was
opposed to the abolition of the death penalty;
and it is evident now, after the so-called hu-
manitarian code has been in operation little
less than year, that we were right in our first
impressions. For the city Of New York, with
its dense population, constantly recruited from
all parts of The civilized world, we must have
clear, strong, vigorous criminal code, and
capable judges to administer it. This commu-
nifty has not yet lost its respect for law, al
though the stupidity of its Legislators might
well Justify it in SO doing. Give US good laws,
and we will see that they are faithfully
executed
