they themselves are implicated, ex-
cept to escape the legal penalty.
The guilty may escape the penalty
Of the civil law though We hope not,
but they have a conscience, and there
IS public sentiment, and there is a
God, and q meeting once again oil
the voice now hushed in a cruel and
horrible death
We understand that efforts are be-
ing put forth on the part of leading
citizens of Warsaw, backed by the
necessary means, and by some of
the citizens of this place-to follow
up the case, and if possible bring the
guilty to punishment. We are
ashamed of the want of ability or in
clination, on the part Of our author.
tiles to attend TO their own criminals
who have thus shown so plainly the
character OF their citizenship, and
their habits, ard have so deliberately
outraged and disgraced the entire
community.
The Rochester Spy says DIR. Vinall
probably acted from sympathy for
the other parties. That's shallow
apology for the double murder. The
general opinion in this community
is that DR.. Vinall acted for ''pay."
Wheeler well knew who to select as
his "stool pigeon" and the reputa-
ton of the Doctor in that line is no
secret here. We hope the apologizers
will be few indeed. And We rejoice
that by the assistance of our neigh
bors Of Warsaw we are not left en-
tirely at the mercy of the enemy
We are not, of course, at liberty to
publish the steps being taken by the
prosecutors in this case, for such
publication might defeat the eads of
justice. The prosecution intend to
do the utmost within their power
The statement, however, comes quite
directly to us that the main lawyer
of Warsaw, employed for the pros
ecution, has been bought over to the
defense for the sum of five thousand
dollars. We hope this is not so,
though we are not surprised at any
thing money and social position can
do. But we hope it may be shown,in
some way, that Virtue can and will
be guarded in Plymouth by flaming
sword of justice that is no respecter
Of persons. Ifthere is no authority
anywhere else, there is authority in
the principle that MISREPRESENTATION
is natures first law There are
some good and pure Families resid-
ing in Plymouth-though a few flow
ers do not make summer. There are
many persons here who are working
and praying for freedom from the
.'bands of wickedness" that have so
long held them bound, AMI who res
olutely cherish the determination
that reformation in the morals Of
Plymouth shall be accomplished.
When the time comes, as it surely
will, that the now down-troiden shall
be able to rise. they will rise with a
power and determination that will
make the destroyers of our greatness
''hite the dust" That will make
Virtue queen and Vice the felon.-
Tie day is coming, May God has
ten it, and the true and good labor
bravely for it
