From a late number of the Now York Times
we learn that there were one hundred homi
cidei committed in tho city u! New York, dur
ing tho year and that during Ihu same
period thero had been probably four hundred
attempts to take life. The nunc paper com
plains bitterly of the immunity of orimo and
tlur almost impoaiiliility of procuring n convic
tion. New York possesses at'unrding to pnpu
latinn probably mora of the elements of crime
than any city of the United States, or it may
be of tlio world. On this account it h likely
that the reinarlii of the Timet are not oifually
applicable to other part! of tin United States.
But it has been apparent for yean to every ob
serving mind, that throughout tho United
Statei tho moral tone of tho community in re
lation to orimitmli ami their punishment has
been steadily on the decline. This ii a bad
symptom for any people to exhibit, particularly
one upon whom is devolved the high and re
sponsible task of self government. A coin-

lo elimiuatu from itself the murderer, the
thief and the swindler, by the prompt uso of
the gallows and tlio penetcutiury, politically
and socially speaking, is not lung for this world.
Whenever such a member of tho community
ii not quickly lopped off from Iho body politic
by tho sharp sword of juitioe, it remains as a
festering, poisoning cancer and gangrene, con
taminating ami corrupting all the parts within
iti reaoh nr touch. Unlesi a person guilty of
crime ii under the ban of the neighborhood on
some other account, it is almost impossible to
convict him of any lerioui offense. Let a
hitherto respectable person commit murder,
theft ur robbery, nnd it is ten to one that he
will neither hang nor be imprisoned. Particu
larly ii this the case when, as is quite probable,
the accused ii a member of some popular and
powerful iiicial order, political party, or church.
The party or sect to which he belongs are too
prone to forget that their fuit duty ii lo society,
and think only of their own organization and
the scandal that may come upon it by the con
viclion of 0110 of their fellows. Under these
mistaken and partisan notions of duty, they
too often muster around the criminal and chuk
up the avenues lu tlio halls of justice, until 110
sound lave their own special and inphistical
clamor for acquititl oau be beard 011 the trial,
Every where and in every way, publio opinion
and virtue ii tampered with, browbeaten aud
cajoled, until truth and justice aro overawed nr
ilenc.d, and falsehood, prejudice or partisan
sympathy permeate; tho very air nf the court
room, nnd darkens the minds and pervert! tho
natural instincts of roepectuble courti and jur
tel. In thi! way, at the end of a tediooi and
costly proceeding, which it were a perversion
of language to call by any oilier name than
farce, tho respectable criminal is found by hii
peen " not guilty," and told lo go hii wny iu
peace, lo sit in convention, te preach, to vote,
to hold office, to lecture, to write for tho pren,
or plead at the bar, aud irr a thousand wayi
polute and corrupt tho current of public mor
al! and opinion with hia uuexpiatcd guilt aud
impurities.
The verdict of " not gttilly " ii an untruthful
and artificial result which nobody believes ex
oept iii a legal seme, produced by the free uso
uf such means as we have described. It is nut
the fault of the law, but of the administrator
of it.
But primarily thoTanlt ii with the people in
Iho Inck of henlll.y. wholesome aoniiiu.nt up...
this iuI ject, which wuuld ri juice at tho punish
ment of tho wicked, and point tho finger of
scorn at any attempt to procure the acquittal
of tiie guilty, however respectable or with
whom connected or associated.
A forcible illustration of tho iad' itato of
publio moral! on this .object, is seen in the
trial for larceny which lately occurred in Port
land. The prisoner was a minister of a cliria-
tian church, and hitherto considered respecta
ble. The theft (nnd indeed ninny others) was
admitted by the defense. Th. defense wa.

It Is desired that the .anal ho llnlnhed), to Dec. 1st, 1806, at

of mtm per annum, or thirty per cent, dividend on a cost

reduce the charge nn as to make It but ono dollar per ton
