A New Article in Trade.

A large class of the American people,
who have been wickedly denomnated as
Yankees, have always had some reputation
for inventive genius in the way of trade
and traffic oven to the extent of manufac-
turing wooden nutmegs, Eastwood hams,
and brentwood pumpkin-seeds TO help
swell the catalogue of commercial commodi-
ties. All these inventions are said to have
occurred during the first century of this
Republic, but there seems to be no limit
to the scope of inventive genius. The
wheels of progress cannot be stayed, but
roll on in majesty and power, conquering
and to conquer. At the threshold. almost,
of the second century Ofour national history
n new inventor has entered the field, who
way Of novelty of invention. Judge
MACKEY. of South Carolina, now emerges
into conspicuity with contrivancc for pro-
pitiating justice and condoning crime, which
should crown his brow with laurel leaves
sprinklcd with the flowers of immortality.
II is nothing less than the classification of
crimes MS Il commodity of exchange in set
tling accounts with violated law. Only
think of tiff man is guilty of treason,
rebellion assassination, murder, rapinc, or
any other national crime, the General Gov
eminent il to make that a matter
of book-account with the offenders.
Then, again, when the laws of Southern
State have been violated by the commission
of bribery, perjury, forgery, or any other
oilense of respectable magnitude, these also
are to become matters of account before and
after conviction, and are to DO held as COM
modities of exchange, by which and through
which the greater crimes against the Fede-
raj Constitution and laws may be condoned,
and in this way accounts can be adjusted
and balances be struck without any form of
punishment to the offenders.
This is indeed a great achievement of
genius, and must win immortality for the
great inventor Crime is made matter of
book-account; amnesty matter of exchange
Of prisoners, and violated law and the usual
forms of justice are to be laid away like the
models in the Patent Office, to await future
inspection or final destruction by conhagra-
ton. This il, in substance, the scheme
which Judge MACKEY has invented for
allowing traitors, rebels, murderers, assas-
sins, rife clubs Ku-Klux, White Leaguers,
bull-dozers, forgers, bribers, pcriures, and
all sorts of criminals to go "unwhippcd of
Justice The scale and graduation of crime
under which this amnesty exchange is to
be carried into effect is not clearly set forth
in this newly-invented PLAN but it has
leaked out that the President is not enam-
ored with it, and has indicated his purpose
to set down on it at an early day.
