rant their avowal. It is true the jury

do not fix the punishment of the cul

prit, either by law or by seutence. To inflict the punishment of death legally, requires that there should be a law to that effect, there must be

pines to find the culprit guilty; a

judge to pronounce his sentence,

and an executioner to dispatch him. These are all parts of the great machine, and co-operate, and are assential in producing the effect. If there is criminality in the result, that

criminality must attatch to all active

agents employed in it. rs either the legislator who was a party in enacting, or continuing the law, the jury who found lumguiltr, tlitrjudjc wlw

condemned him, nor the hangman

that executed him, can be exculpated. They may be considered as having divided the business among themselves, each fully performing

his part, and each part being abso

lutely essential to the result. 1 hey therefore stand as copartners in the business and must jointly and sev er

ally bear the responsibility. Were

a number of individuals to combine, and coperate with each other in committing a criminal act, each fully performing his part, and each of those parts being so essential to the whole, that the crime would not be accomplished without it, and were these

parties brought before Judge II. or

any other competent ' judge, l presume his decision would be widely different from that given in relation

to the duty ofjurors, in cases of capi

INTERESTING FACT. A w riter in the New-York Chri tian Herald, in discussing the necessity ot instructing slaves, relates thc following: That the mind of the African is capable of being enlightened, no one who has ever studied its character can doubt. A very respectable gentleman in one of the southern eitie?

m a late letter to thc writer observes:

'Miss has a black child, not

twelve vears old, under her instruc-

tion, who has committed to memory

the whole of the new Testament. Do you know of any white child hat

equals this? I konw of none. Tnis child is free, and we find a difference

in intellect aud expansion of mind

between the slaves and the free blacks." It is to be supposed that a

mighty population of blacks who are as high in the scale of being as ourselves, and who are rapidly increas

ing, can long continue easy in the

ignorance which now envelopes them? I know it is a motto openly

avowed by some of our southern

brethren, that "'the more ignorant, the better slave and the more safety This may not only be flatly denied but experience abundcntly proves the contrary to be true. Without fear of contradiction, I assert, that it has been owing to the timely discoveries of christian slaves, that the lives of whole neighbourhoods have been preserved when rebellions havo been raised; and that every rebellion in the southern states that has ever been made known, has been dis

covered by those whose consciences

were enlightened by the gospel; and I need not say, that during the last war there was ample need of such slaves about us, even if we went only

on the principles of safety. Alas, and

dare we rely on this barrier as a pro

tection Irom every storm that may arise? And so the Gospel of Jesus the word of God is to put a dagger into the hand of the slave the religion of heaven is to teach our c.rvants to cut our thro its! Or2ihap3 the slaves of Americaare ar exception to the command "preach the gospel to every creature," or periiapa
