PHILADELPHIA, Jan. ~, 1861.
). w. De CoURsEY, EsQ.--Dear Sir-In your let
ter you ask me to state whether the 95th and Goth
sections of the revised penal code (part of which
are now sought to be repealed), were introduced
into the code after consultation with the Governor
or other public authorities of the State of Mary-
land, and you add that this impression exists NV
answer is, that the revisors never had anv commu.
nication directly or indirectly with the Governor
or other public authority of the State of Maryland,
or with any other person. the subject of the
duction OF these sections into the code The revi-
sors were appointed, among others things ssto col
lect all acts and statutes relating the peua laws
OF the commonwealth, and to arrange the same sys-
temaically, under proper titles divisions and sec
tions." They found the acts of 18th April, 1927
and of the Sd of March, 1S47, on the statute book
and they arranged them Systematically, under
proper "tites divisions and sections they did
hundreds of other laws of the commonwealth
They consequently reappear in the provisions of
the 95th and Goth sections of the existing code.
The notion that the authorities of Maryland had
any connection with these sections, and that they
were passed with their concurrence, has no doubt
had its origin in the history of the passage of the
excellent law OF 25th of March, 1926, repealed by
the act of 1S47. The act of 1926 was passed after
a conference with commissioners appointed by the
State OF Maryland for that purpose; and in ten well
considered sections secured to the save-owner his
clear constitutional rights his fugitiveservant
and at the same time protected the free black man
from unjust arrest. 1t authorized justice of the
peace or alderman to issue his warrant to arrest
an alleged fugitive on Tue oatn Oh the claimant;
but made such warrant returnable before Judge
of the proper county, who was required to hear
and decide the case, and who alone could issue a
certificate authorizing the fugitive to be removed
to the State from whence he fed.
The 9th section of the act in order that this i'm
portant power should not be exercised by the sub
ordinate magistracy, who might have abused it,
limited the authority of the justices and aldermen
over the whole subject, to the issuing of warrant
to arrest the fugitive; the final action on the re-
spective rights Of the claimant and fugitive being |
reserved to the higher judiciary. The author of |
the act 1s47, in the Sd section of that act which
forbids Pennsylvania judges, justices and aldermen
from exercising jurisdiction in the of any fugi-
tive from labor, has indeed almost transcribed the
9th section of the act of 1926; and hence under
stand it to be argued, that inasmuch as the Sd |
section of the act of 1s47 is nearly transcript of
sth section of the act of 1926 to which last act
Maryland assented, she should be considered as
'ssenhg TO the provisions of the Sd section of the

charity, that great primary element of Christian
ity, DO We possess. How little sympathy and for
bearance for the misguided and crring. How
completely are We controlled by our own selfish
ness. What great amount of Phsriseeism in
our conduct towards the fallen'ones. "Stand thou
there, am holier than thou,' is too much the
great practice of our lives. Our preachers and
our moralists, talk eloquently. and captivate
much by their glittering gencralties; but how
few dare shoot the pointed arrow. and if they do,
how apt they to select one. as a mark. who
has not the power to rctaliate. The lofty ones,
the great and the popular, sin with degree of
impunity; but the poor degraded outcast, who is
scarcely responsible, is spurned for like ofenses
What n great wrong is here, in morals and Chris
tanity it is wrong, it is wrong in philosophy. II
there is any excuse for moral depravity, the ig
norant, and those who have not had the advan-
tage of moral training should have the advantag &c
of it, But how few there are who dare risk their
popularity in taking the poor degraded one by
the hand, and try to impress upon his mind, some
noble purpose ia life, convince him of his great
ness, and fill him with upward aspirations. How
much better this would be, than to taunt him
with his wanderings from the path of rectitude,
and thus goad on to the commission Of other
crimes. Nc doubt many men have been hurried
down the road to ruin, by the jests and taunts
Of the very men who should have taken them
aside, and demonstrated gith them with tears and
entreates. How apt when men do wrong
TO almost force them to the commission Of other
errors, by telling it to our friends, with some III
tie coloring, and thus before they are aware have
moral power to withstand such attacks, more
moral force than men ordinarily have. This
SHOULD teach how careful We should be in speak
ing Of others errors. o for beneyolence, more
philanthrophy, more charity; that We might deal
more kindly with the failing of fallen humanity
Let us remember. "'T'is human to err,p that be
