that their vaunted principle of supply and

But for the fundamental change in the re-

pronounces indispensable to the safety Of
the state, DIR. Potter would recall the pulpit

which ought to animate every honest fol-

The Pniory and Whipping Post Mt New

[From an instantaneous Photographic
Delaware still retains the whipping post
and pillory. 1t is a source of great curiosity
to strangers, who it is said, usually purchase
the cat-o'-nine tails after it has been used on
a culprit as a souvenir of their visit. The
pillory is used for the perpetrators of petty
oifeuses, and is an exceedingly humiliating
punishment to those submitted to it. For
some crimes it is said to have a wholesome
effect on the offenders by advertising their
faces so they become afraid to attempt
the perpetration of similar oifenses again.
The Wilmingtonian., 1886-05-29

The whipping post is used for wife beaters
probably on the principle that like cures
like OF course there is strong diversity
of opinion even in Delaware as to the value
of retaining this old relic of English criminal
law. Tne following letter from Frederick
Douglass, in answer to an inquiry put to him
regarding the advisabiity of flogging wife
beaters, will lie of interest in this connec-
ton:
DEAR SIR: If for any olrense in the world
a human being should be stripped TO the
wa st and lashed till his warm red blood
should stain the earth beneath, it is the
offense of suhiecting his wife and the mother
of his children to that torture; but am not
sure of the wisdom of this sort of retaliation
In resor ing to tlogging something more must
be thought Of than the just punishment Of
the offender We must consider the effect
upon the man thus punished and the man
who is required to administer the punish
ment, and il we succeed in whipping the
brute our of the one and at the same time
only whip the brute into the other, little has
been gained to humanity and decency by
the operation. know of few things better
calculated to blunt and destroy all human
sensibilities than tearing the living flesh Of a
man with blood-clott cowslin. The man
who does it is untitled for all moral and
human influence, and diffuses brutality in
evory breath Sad, indeed, it is for the
world if only by flogging can men be made
to refrain from beating their wives.
Coming from condition Of slavery as
have, where everything was done by the
whip l have perhaps a greater horror Of
flogging than might otherwise have. BE
this as it may, / would try many other ex.
periments before l would resort to the
whipping post as a remedy for wife beating.
/ write in haste, but have said enough tc
indicate my views on the point upon which
you have done me the honor to ask my
opinion. Truly yours,
