: THE DEATH PENALTY.

Governor Long, of Massachusetts,, in
his annual message, recently sent to the
legislature, takes strong ground against
the infliction of the death penalty, and
speaks as follows: II renew my pro-
test against the barbarism, ineficiency,
and peril to innocence Of capital punish
ment. Failing its abolition, I earnestly
urge you to leave to the jury-the best
and safest of tribunals-the question of
it's inAiction. This will make conviction
surer, will meet most fully the circum-
stances of each case, and, while still pre-
serving the terror of the death penalty,
if there be any virtuo in that, will be
more in harmony with the human spirit
of the age. The pretense Of insanity
will not then succeed, as it now too often
does. Should you abolish the death
penalty, you might substitute for it the
severest form of imprisonment. Let me
remind you, quoting the substance of
another's summarization, first, that the
present uncertainty of the death verdict
lessons the deterrance of the death
penalty; second, that with it's abolition
for smaller offenses, their number, in
proportion to the increase of population
and the facilities of their commission,
has diminished; and, third, in civilized
communities, where it has been totally
abolished, murders have not become
more frequent. Rhode Island is an in
stance. Statistics show also that the
pardoning power is not abused in rela-
ton to sentence for murder in the first
degree when commuted from death to
imprisonment for life.''
