ME. EDITOR: Some Of the Democratic
newspapers in our State seem bent on
running us, by lauding Governor Cham
bcrlain for the course he has pursued
since Governor. If they would fake one
moment to reflect on the consequence of
such praise, they would certainly re-
mnin silent. Nothing will more surely
defeat Governor c., not only in the next
election, but his usefulness the balance
OF this term will be paralyzed, by the
thoughtless praise showered upon him
lately for simply doing what he promised
to do. He does not need this praise, nor
does he desire it thus publicly expressed.
1t Injuries him with his party, md the
rank and file of them already begin to
say he has sold out to the Democrats.
He can only be useful to us as IN honest
, Republican, having the confidence of his
party. tits his party that tneed reform, and
reform can come only through leading
Republicans. 1t would be great GALA
nifty if Governor G.. should declnre him
self Democrat. 1t has been proved,
time and again, that neither the judicial
nor executive department of Govern
ment can contend successfully with the
Legislative. The Governor can do much
good, but no can't revolutionize the
Legislature, if bounded on and bedaubed
with fulsome praise from the opponents
OF his own party. It's very unfortunate
to see sensible people giving expression
to such propositions as that Governor C.
can make successful combination with
the Democrats and honest Republicans!
Whenever it becomes known that the
Democrats wish Governor G. reelected,
md are going for him in a body, from
that moment his defeat is insured, and
his usefulness destroyed. If he is n gen
tleman and nm honest man, he needs no
praise for acting like one; and if you will
go and ask him, he will doubtless tell
you so; and if kept up, he will be
damned with faint.praise sc.

The Governor of Massachusetts has re
fused to interfere in the matter of Pome-
roy, the child-murtlerer, who is under
sentence of death. The Governor does
himself credit by resisting the appeals
OF the philanthropists, so-called. If
capital punishment is to be continued in
civilized lands, Pomeroy should die.
The motive of the several murders COM
mltted by him is not understood fully:
but he was sent to the penitentiary tor
one or two of them, on account of his
youth, He was pardoned out, and
Immediately returned to his favorite
pursuit, committing one or two more
murders. Now he is sentenced to be
hung, and the benevolent people be-
seech the Governor TO commute his sen
tence. The Governor is right in leaving
him to his fate. The safety of society
demands that persons who commit deli
sernte murder shall be put out of the
way, SO that they can kill no mone peo-
pie. II they are sent to the penitentiary
for life, they may be readily set Mt
liberty by the Executive under some
error or caprice, and be thrown back
upon the world to take other lives. The
safety of society demands thnt some
criminals shall be put out of existence,
and 1t is no satisfactory alternative to
send them to prison for life. The sense
OF public safety is not satisfied MS long as
they live. Order and safety require that
penalties for crime shall be as nearly
proportionate to the crimes as NAV be.
and that those penalties shnll be en-
forced, not only rs just, but MS examples
to deter others from the commission of
crime If we nre to shed tear over the
wnnderer, and lecture him, and feed
and lodge him WE'LL we shall have q
plenty of murdcrers, and we shall have
many tine sinecures for rhapsodical
mornllsts, and n new department. draw
ing heavily upon the Government and
increasing seriously the burthens of the
people.

PosTMAsTER-G GENERAL JEWELL.
present Postmaster General has won the
commentator of the press and public
by the vigilant and practical manner in
which he has superintended the impor-
tant department placed under his charge.
He has shown decided CAPACITY for the
office, and has done great deal to i'm
prove the service and dispense with use
less md expensive forms. He hns lately
given most thorough investigation of
the business Of the post offices in the
large cities and Of the postal car service.
and perhaps understands the whole mat.
ter better than any Of his predecessors.
He has also examined the work of the
clerks under him, and ascertained the
duties performed in various branches of
the great department conducted by him.
1t is said that he found burthens verv
unequally distributed and compensation
unfairly allotted some positions with
light duties having salaries attached to
them exceeding those paid officers who
performed very heavy and responsible
services. A high opinion is entertained
Of Mr.. Jewell's qualifications, and he is
believed to be earnestly desirous to have
justice done in all the branches of the
postal service, and to afford every posi-
bic accommodation and facility to the
public. He is regarded as one of the
most competent men we ever had in the
general post Office.
