We presume that if the question were put directly the people nineteen of every twenty, at least, would vote to do away with thi expensive and unnecessary burden upon the Treasury.

Acconnrxo to ail JCasteriV jouru international law has found a new if not able exponent in Mrs. Jit.ia Waiid IIowk, who in an address before the New Hampshire Women's Wulfrage As sociation, discussed, as a pertinent theme, the Cuban question. .She insisted that the Cubans should be recognized, and assured her readers that "the ghost of Captain Kruu laughed and the scattered timbers of the Mayjlomr groaned when the Spanish gunboats steamed out of New York harbor." Could Piesident Giiaxt and Secretary Fjsii have fo-eseen these frightful consequences they would doubtless have detained the gunboats for indefinite period. Now will Mrs. Howe inform an anxious world how the ghosts of the Pilgrim Fathers regard feniajc suffrage do they laugh with Kiii or groan with the Mayjtoicer's timbers?

The Hanging of morgan.

A SERMON, BY REV. W. W. CUKItY, OF TJIK UNIVERSAJ.TST CHURCH, TICItKK HAUTE, I NO.

Tlioreforo as I live, saith the Lord God, I wilt proparo thee unto blood, and blood slinll porsuo thco sinco thou hast not liatcd blood, even blood Bhall pcrsuc tiieo.

Ezokiol XXXV. 6.

Our text is ppoken of a people who dwelt about Mt. Seir. We know little of them, except that they were a blood thirsty people, constantly engaged in wars with their neighbors, and hence finally exterminated by the sword they invoked. The text contains a general principle, which the fact concerning those people confirms, and for which it is chosen, namely, that violence leads to violence. Our Savior gave utterance to the same principle when he told Peter to put up his sword, because "they that take the sword shall also perish by the sword." In fact it is one of the oldest moral principles of the scriptures, having been announced to Noah, Gen. IX, 6. "Whoso his

man's blood by man shall shed." And this is a truth of to-day, as well as of the past, and may well challenge.our attention, in view of recent events. It is a common remark that homicides are fearfully frequent, and crimes of violence seem more numerous than in former years. Every paper brings us accounts of (••ash blood-shed, and our own community does not lack of instance?. Several murders have taken place in the past few years, one man is in prison under sentence of death, and one has just beeen hanged

for crime. In July last, Oliver A. Morgan kiiled John Petri, and on Thursday last, the State killed Oliver A. Morgan.— What is the cause of the increase of such crimes, and what will be the effect of hanging murderers? These are grave questions, and demand attentive consideration.

Uuided by the principle contained in the text, I am lead to believe that the increase of crimes of violence in the last few years is mainly due to the influence our late civil war. However necessary that war may have been, I cannot doubt ihat the employment of hundreds of thousands of men in the business of destroying life, was extremely demoralizing.— •It tended to destroy the idea of its sanctity, and to cultivate feelings of vindict iveness and blood tliirstiness. In the crimes of violence now so prevalent, we are experiencing the malediction of the text, as all nations before us have done.

And so the hanging of Morgan, the continued shedding of blood by the State, will have the same influence, so far as .example goes. But the law does not so recogrflie, and many persons are ot a different opinion. Hence, I enquire, what will be the effect of the hanging of Morgan?

There are two theories on this subject. One of them is, that the execution of murderers is right that its influence is beneficial and, therefore, it should be continued. We are told that it will tend to prevent murders, by striking terror to evil-doers, and thus secure the safety of human life. I hold this theory to be unsound, because unphilosophical. 1. It assumes that a process of cheapening human life, and an example of premeditated violence, will teach the e»-il-disposod to restrain their passions, and regard the sanctity of life. It supposes that a familiarity with bloodshed will produce a distaste for it that violence can be checked with violence that the Devil can be successfully fought with fire. It is contrary to human experience and progress, which are continually moderating the severity of law, and finds crime diminish in proportion as the State sets the example of moderation and virtue. It is contrary to the maxims of the Bible, which teaches us to "overcome evil with good," and not with evil. 2. And it is a confessed fallacy, as is shown by the methods of execution.— If hanging is to terrify evil doers, then it should be both paniful andpublic. Our- modern practice of private executions, and the mode of producing instant death, arc innovations inconsistent with the "terror" system. If we arc to hang in order to frighten the vicious, then the process should be the old fashioned, public choaking to death. Our jails, and brothels, and grog shops should be emptied of their inmates to witness the "example." If it is a good thing, the public should have the benefits it, and not merely a few invited —gSista. This private execution and extreme care to prevent protractcd, or painful struggle, is a confession of the inhumanity and pernicious influence of the death penalty.

And hence the second theorv, that the

death penalty is both impolitic and unjuRt,—«quallf in conflict with the law of God, and the principles of good government. Believing this theory, I used my influence Jo prevent the execution, advising petitions, and urging the Governor to commute the sentence. I never saw Morgan, have no doubt of his guilt, and freely concede that he was a bad man. But I know he was a fellow-man, teo good to be choked to death like a dog, and only regret I could not save him. I openly and solemnly protest against the hanging of anv man, as an unnecessary, pernicious and wrongful act. What right had the State to hang him? Did you ever ask yourself that question? It is one we ought to consider. No law should remain on the statute book whose rightfulness cannot be vindicated in the court of reason. On what bits is will you rest the.right of the State to inflict the penalty of aeatli? "Will you say that civil governments have always claimed and exercised the power of putting the murderer to death. If I grant this, there is the obvious answer that "might" does not make "right," and that governments are fall able, and have perpetrated the greatest outrages. But what is this claim? Simply,, "'prescription"—the right of usage. But this if

But you will say, the State has aright to punish crimes as it sees fit, and this was a hardened and dangerous criminal, and ouglit to have suffered death. What right has the State to punish? May the State create crimes without limit, and prescribe penalties without reason?— Of course not. There mast be a reason for what the State does, as well as the individual. Has the State the right of vengence? Where did it get it? Of God? Of Man? Has any man aright to revenge himself If not have two, or ten, or ten thousand? No. It is one of the reserved rights^of the Creator, "vengence is mine,"~I will repay, saith the Lord." The State then has no right x{ revenge againsr~the criminal, and mast find its right tp punish, in thc right,-of .uV .*

That which can giye no better reason, stands already self-condemned in this enlightened age. No theory of science, no doctrine of religion, no institution of. the State' is now free from investigation.— Ifence, the State must prove its right to kill, or it must abandon the practice.— Ilence I press the question: What right had the State to hang Morgan?

There are two fundamental theories of ion civil government, and out of one of them must the right grow, if it has any existence. One of the theories is, that the State exists by a Divine appointment, is His representative authority over the world, and may do whatever lie appoints. According to this theory, the government is over the people, is not subject to their

011

the appointment of God. (Questions of elect and expediency arc excluded, and we have only to ask, "what saith the Lord?" Will you say that (Jod has or dained the existence of the State of Indiana, and delegated to it tlie power life and death? Will you iy that God has empowered a!l civil governments to pat to death tlie murderer? I a-k, where is the 'o: d?

One will say, God organized the Hebrew government, and gave that people staiutes requiring the death of the murderer, and therefore it must be right, But "therefore"? Is this conclusion in the- premises? Obviously not. There is an assumption of several fundamental fac.s to warrant the conclusion. Thus AVe must assume that the laws of the Jews were to be of universal, and of perpetual obligation, or they are

at the hand of his fellow but just the wrong, in the opinion, for employers, afrcverse, "I will require it." And then ter having taken the best years of life seradds the warning, that shedding blood, vice out of an employe, to" turn him away will provoke retaliation, precisely the when he was no longer as energetic as belesson of ihe text. fore. Those who are guilty of this did a

The speaker then referred tures as a rule of duty, wish to go out- to in the manner in which domestics sides of the Christian records for a uni- should be dealt with. Bad servants had become a crying evil yet the cause of it lay, in great part, with the mistresses themselves. He did not say that good mistresses would always have good servants but they would not always have bad ones. Much of the difficulty incident to this matter would be obviated if the mistress always conducted herself in such a manner as to become an example to her servants. He counseled all employers to speak encouraging words to their employes —to be as prompt to praise their satisfac torv acts as they were swift to condemn their shortcomings. They should be

versal rule of duty, why not take one that is obvions and acknowledged? In the ten commandments they may read, "Thou shalt not kill," an inhibition of universal obligation, as bindingjon the State as the individual, and which may be followed with perfect confidence of recatude. And therefore, even if the theory of "div'ne right, in governments were true, there is a complete failure to establish a divine command to enact the death penalty.

But we repudiate the whole theory of divine right in government. Our Aiuer ican theory is, that man is possessed of inalienable righ.s, that governments aiees'ablished to pro ectthese, that ihey de.ire all their just powers from the people, and therefore that ihev may be altered as the people plea e. Hence our government has no rights it has not received /rom the people. And hence also, ihe people can confer

do not themselves possess. AVhaerer "riglu" one man has to put ano.her to dea h, he can transfer to the Stale, and no mo:e. Has one man, then, any light to kill ano.her? Yes, ihe right of selfdefence. If A at.aeks B, ihe l.iuer may defend himself and if his life i.s in pe.il, and he can only save it by slaying his assailant, he may do it.

must be obvious, and the necessity real, to justify this. A man may not anticipate an attack, or slay hi.s enemy for fear of an assault.

If attacked and he can complete his defence without killing, he must do it. It A. attacks B., and the latter overpowers and binds him, lie may not then shed the blood of his Assailant. If he docs so, lie makes himself the wrong doer, and is held responsible. The law of self-defence is the plain common sense principle, that a man may repel an attack with all ihe fo-ce 'necessary to security, but no more, and this right of defence, and no more the S.ate possesses. Thus, the State, having aright to live, may kill it.s enemies in war, or in rebellion but not after hostilities have ceased, and the assailant is disarmed. Hence the government of the United States did right in refusing to execute the rebel chiefs, and gave to the world a noble example of conscious strength. And the State, holding the ight to defend individuals, may take the life of assailants in the act of violence, if

tend to improve them, but not pursued with vengeful or retaliatory penalties. The hanging of Morgan did not fall under this rule, was not necessary "to his safe keeping, made no one more secure from his assaults. It was therefore an act unmixed vengence, a remnant of barbarism, an exhibition of brutality. It was a disgrace to the State, a blot on the civilization of the age, and an affront to the Christian relig

ments is simply beyond son. But it will be argued that the divine sanction of the death penalty for murder, is lorig anterior to Moses, and was given to Noah, as the second father of the race, in the precept "Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed." Let us examine this text. Is it to be taken as a universal law, a positive command to shed blood for blood, without limitation? If so, then, if A is killed by B, then must be killed by C, I From the New York Times, December27.] and by D, and by E, and on to the Rev. Wm. Aikman delivered, yesterday end of the alphabet.

In this translation there are three alterations of the Hebrew original: (I) The participle "shedding" is altered into the erb "sheds" and "Whoso," in the masculine sense is introduced without authority, as the actor (2) the preposition "by" is introduced in the place of "in" and (3) the imperative "shall" is put in the place of the simple future "will." A literal translation is thus: "Shedding blood of, man in man, his blood will be shed." In .fact, instead of a command it is'a prediction and ins! cad of a delegation of power, it is a reservation of it. God does not say, "you shall tequire thq, blood of man

This "call again" may seem, to many minds to be a very trival matter, but in the speaker's opinion it was a c. ime against God. Those having young men in their employ should take a "broad view of their duties. In this selfish age men take note of smartness, business tact and energy of a young employe, btrt they seldom discover his religious character, or if they do, it passes for naught in their estimation.

If mobs assail any one, or aimed bands engage in violeuce, they may be repress cd oy force, even to death. If an officer of the peace had been present when Morgan assailed Petri, he might have defended the latter, even at the expense of the life of the former. All this the law of defence justifies. But when the criminal is disarmed, it custody, incapable of further resisldncc 0 injury, then to take his life is not justified by any rightful power of the government. Hence the death penalty as an ordinary punishment for crime, is premeditated vengeance, as pernicious in its influence, as it is unjust in its essence.— The hanging of Morgan did not restore Petri to life, was not necessary to his safekeeping, rests on no defensible basis of right.

THE REASON WHY

IB.A.IFLIR'S

From my knowledge of "Barr's Pectoral Elixir," and observing its uniform good effects upon the many customers to whom I hare recommended it since its first introduction to the public, I feel warranted in saying that I consider it KtjlJAL, if not SUPEKIOR, to any of tho popular Lung remedies before the public.
