H TuE WHIPPING POsr.-Our
Magyar friend of the Parkersburg
Times is Mortified at our suggestion re.
gardiug the establishment of the
whipping post. He talks wildly Of
"barbarisn," and oil that sort Of
thing. Well, friend Druhosh, we will
qualify our former remarks by adding
that we favor some mode Of punishment
for petty criminals. The end 10 be
arrived at is what that punishment
shall be; and we will begin by stating
cur belief,hat the Object Of punishment
is to prsrcnt Lyits example the rccur-
renee ofcrime. And will our OO,en,-
porary assert that simple confinement
in Jail is at all adequate, We think
not. How then will you punish the
class Of criminals referred tot "Wcll,"
says one, there are plenty of other
modes, without that one." Indeed |;
then let us know what they are. 1t is
4 fact that cannot be controverted, that
with all tho boastcd humanity and
liberty Of America, she inaicls upon
her soldiers and sailors the most bar.
porous punishment possible. The most
horrid Inquisitorial test could not DO
more s1cruciating in its torture. We
refer to "tying up BY Tie thumb, aad
gagging" in the army. and the "Sreat-
Lor' in the navy. Any surgeon will
at once tell you that either of these
practices are far more brutal in both
practice and effect, than aogging.
But in this State We have simply no
punishment at aH for petty criminals.
Instances are multiplying in this and
other counties where men commit some
petty crime in order 10 get into jail.
There they are sure Of good lodgings
and plenty to cat, a doctor to attend
them when sick, and ns,hing 10 do.
The Taxpayers are bound 10 support
them-while their noighbors must SEQ
that their families do not suffer. In
the Dominion Of Canada, aogging has
been re'establishod, after faithful
trial Of all other experiments; and we
favor its re.establishmont here for the
very cogent reason that it will, by it,
example, prevent recurrence Of
crime; for the reason that il 10 tho
most humane Of all physical punish.
ments; for the reason that it will rid
our country Of the horde Of petty often
ders who now infest it; for The reason
that this class Of criminal, can only DO
punished in this or some similar way |;
and for the further reason that society
demands a radical cure for the "looso.
ness" which new obtains among petty
offenders. Blu. Wo will ask our friend
a few questions, and desire him to give
to each an honest answer: LIST. Is the
present mode Of punishment (confne.
ment iD juiD adequate? 2nd. Do you
think it sufficient, by its example, to
prevent recurrence Of crimei Sd.
Is confinement in Jail TO large num-
Der Of petty criuiuals) any punishment
at aR2 4th. Does not the good Of SO.
ciety require some mode Of punish.
ment which will put an end to the gil.
ing Of our jails with petty criminals,
and the taxation of our people for
their support? Let US conduct this
thing courtcously, Brother Drahosh,
aud We think we can convince you,
from he facts, that humanity is on the
side Of the whipping post.
