that sevcrcr laws than those now in force

the whipping post, or any other means
that would suppress crime. There Is
little doubt but some Radical scoun-
drels would he willing to make the col
ored people believe that the whipping
post. if established, would be intended
ior them especially, but the dictates OF
reason are, that none would be guilty OF
such mennncsa, except those who are IN
sympathy with rogues, or are ycguSs
themselves. Why is punishment IN
Aicted ON criminals? Is it not to deter
them aud others from committing crime:

side:
The Kcrshao Gazette has fallen into

see this. We express the opinion
modestly that newspaPer-onc hall
Of which is printed in New York or
some other Northern; city, cannot rep
resent the people in the midst Of whom
it Is published. And it is Indicative OF
two other points, that either the paper
so printed is not able or does not care
to employ home editor and printer, for
what is oftentimes the most important
part of his paper, or seeks thereby
merely to make money from his publlca
tian. These remarks are general and
in no wise iLtcnded as personal TO o"l
friend of the Gazette. but We feel thai
we would restrain the force Of the con
solidated remall; in this connection
did we not say, that the editor or pub
