selves sympathize with condemned murderer5 /;
but II Is because they are murderers, and not
because they are condemned; because they
have committed fearful crime in the eyes Of
God and man, and not because they are to
suffer the just penalty Of that crime.
Whilst society is constituted as Il Is. we
must have strict laws. Let our philanthro-
pists nip crime In the bud; let them provide
for the swarms Of children who beg aud pllror
in our streets; let them endcavor TO reform
the young rufiians who congregato at tho
corners of Sunday afternoon, and shock the
pas sers-by with their oaths and fights; let
them do this, and they will deserve all praise,
for they will in this manner render murders
less frequent than they are, and we shall have
some hope Of one day welcoming the happy
time when the gallows win only be reme.n-
bered as a relic Of the past.

False AYnpArHY.

T7 Sympathy for criminals is, we are sorry to
say, characteristic Of the present age. Let
murder, however foul, be committed-let the
murderer be villain Of the deepest dye-stil
II he has the hardihood TO protest his innO-
eence on the scafiold, II he dares to appear at
the bar OF heaven with lie added to his
alleady heavy load OF guilt, men pity aud
commiserate him, and mistaken pAilluthrO-
pists exciaim loudly against legal mdrder and
the like and one would almost imagine that
martyr was sealing with his blood his devotion
to the cause of right, instead Of an assassin
suffering the just penalty ofthe law.
The poor victim, struck suddenly down in
the midst Of life, the innocent man who is de-
1berately and cruelty murdered, is not thought
Of Men pity him Tor day, whilst his awful
fate Is still fresh on their minds, but as soon
as his mangled remains are committed to the
earth, all their sympathy is transferred to his
murderer, and there is none to remember or
regret him, save his bereayed family and
friends. This is all wrong. Human life is
held far too cheaply already in this country
Wholesale murders are perpetrated with fear

Colombia, knowing that she has not the

ment of the United States of America 10 fulfil the
guarantee entered into by the above mentioned
treaty. Our Government finds no difficulty in
determining that Ii is our plain duty 10 perform
the obligations set forth in the treaty whenever
a demand shall be made by the proper party f;
and In the solution OF the latter plrt Of this pro-
position was found the only doubt or cause for
besitanCy. The matter was referred ~ tho
Attorney General, who, upon thorough consid.
eTatisn and examination of the facts, finds that
New Granada and the United States of Colombia
are one and the same Government; so that we
must send troops and vessels of war, If need be-
70 maintain our treaty and prevent Spain from
transporting troops across the Isthmus. Il ap-
pears that the treaty also guarantees the absolute
sovereignty of New Granada over the territory
named, and the history Of the negotiation shows
that the agreement was made with the expecta-
ton of presently being called upon 90 send troops
for the Ostensible purpose OF maintaining the
treaty, but really with the design Of occupying
and possessing the territory on behalf of tue
United States.

GONE CRAZY.

We understand that RICHARD Buck
INGHAM, of Springfield township, Rich
land county, has gone crazy over CHAsE's
greenbacks, and has been taken to the
Asylum at Columbus. Mr.. BUcKING-
HAM voted for ABE LINCOLN and has
been a supporter of his Administration
up to about the time of his insanity. He
had accumulated about enc thousand dol
lars in greenbacks sud was puzzled to
know what to do with them in order to
avoid a loss upon them. He was afraid
to invest in real estate for fear the "Gov-
eminent" would tax him out of existence,
and he was afraid to keep them on hand
through fear of depreciation. His insan-
ity is attributed entirely to the "p~ressure"
of greenbacks, by those acquainted with
him-Lnnknnt-y0-shnddy cormorants
and holders of greenbacks IF it takes
one thousand dollars of them to put an
Abolitionist crazy and send him to the
ASYLUM, how soon may we expect the
balance of the party in the same fix?

reds of thousands of lives have been Ia
ken in deadly conflict near and around it,
and an army of still hundreds of thous-
ands more are in the held to protect the
men who have usurped tyrannie power
over 1t ; and still more, it is held there
only because cannons, and forts, and bay
onets are there to save it from the fate its
members deserve.
AT the time the Convention is assem-
bled the leaders might we'll take a view of
our once prosperous and proud country.
They found it a fruitful field it is now
almost a ruined waste. Let them glance
Westward through a space of hundreds of
miles in width and extending to the very
homes of the savage, and the wilderness,
and they see a barren desolation, its fields
destroyed, its homes desecrated CT made
food for the torch of the incendiary, its
inhabitants once happy and content IN
the loves and pleasures of the domestic
hearth, houseless and homeless wanderers,
perisbing with want and cold, while hu-
man hyenas hunt close upon their hiding
places, crying for slaughter, and every
league and mile is dotted with huge blots
of blood drawn from the victims of re-
morseless and yet relentless Abolition ia
naticism. Let them glance upon tie 9TH
er hand to the East over the broad oceans
and seas that once bore the commerce of
America, whose bright flag Haunted in
the breeze and the sails of whose ships
whitened the seas of every cline. All,
all are gone, and naught is left save here
and there some new-made monster of the
deep whose only work is ruin, and whose
canno only belch for blood. Let them
look along the valley of the father of wa
tiers and while they see only such scenes
in broad extent on either side, they also
behold its ensanguined food bearing only
blood to its mouth.
All around them. this-and-a-sev-
srud Union, an enslaved people, thieves
and murderers in power, their damning
work of devastation and slaughter still
going on in fearful magni tude, while rob.
bed and tax-,idden people mourn in un-
told numbers the stealing of their proper
ty and the sacrifice to Alb olitio nism of all
that was near and dear to them on earth.
Well may they meet in bacchanalian
reYelry, and, gloating like fiends yer
spirits damned, ezclaim, "bshold the
wondrous ruin we have wrought !"

JOHN WAGNER.
What appeared to have been written
at a later time han the above is the fol-
lowing
1 have tried everything, but could
get no help. No doctor could reach my
sickness with medicine. For my part I
have done all I could. At last I made
application to go to the Columbus Assy-
lum, but they would not take me, and so
I did all 1 could on my part, and Jesus
Christ took me to my rest in peace ; and
yet. many may say that Satan induced
me to take my life But Is not so. 1t
was my sickness that drove me to it. My
nerves burned like fire. 1 suffered one
year and four months continually, aad
my children wished that 1 was better
But I blamed DIR. - that he did not
get me to Columbus when he could not
do anything for me. I can not stand ii
any longer, my head is SO weak.
With this letter ON another piece Of
paper was the following:
1 selected this place for my resting
place because my son John was so often
with me here and he is no more. 1 have
often cried here, and I am going to i'm.
