From all parts of tbe couutry there is heard the deepest amazement and awe at the amount and magnitude of offen ccs and. the increasing boldness of the violation of the laws. It has been for years—postponed and continued from asked “is suicide epidemical 1“ as if J term to term, greatly to the annoyance meanors 29 ; contempt of Court 1. A strange and anomalous position which, accurdiog to Secretary Atkin son’s showing, we charge Gov. Bullock wantonly assumed is, “in many, and in most all of the cages for warder where a pardon bas been granted before trial” (there were just 25 ! of these,) “tbe indictments therefor had been found be fore tbe late war and in some of them during the war, and that justice deman ded Executive interposition in behalf of the accused, as in many instances some of the most material witnesses on the part of tbe defense have removed beyond tbe jurisdiction of the State and others have died ; while in several other instances, the State on account of the absence of some of its most important witnesses has failed to prosecute tbe case after tbe in dictments bad been found, and cases of that character were in abeyance ou the criminal dockets of the several Courts the natural elements had usurped, or were about to control the moral 6ua6ion of lbs worlJ—which, let it be as it may, will hardly ever he solved to any satis factory advantage: while In another aspect the dose proximity which suicide sustains to the immoralities and crirnin alities of s ciety, cannot fail to attri bute a large number of its victims to their influence. That crime actuates self-destruction is beyond question : it even anticipates the horrors of wounded pride in having to meet the sueors of former acqaintanccs, that would follow upon the revelations of guilt. But num- erous and dfplorable as all are, they sink in tbe roll of infamy and wrong to a mere ripple, compared to the height aid breadth of the colossal wave that bssrs np<>n its swelling crest a thousand i >ld more of murders aud robberies, ar sons, tbelts. embezzlements, forgeries and perjmies with all the remaining atrocities that fill up the catalogue of party and detriment of the accused parties.” Now, we will simply at this time express our astonishment, that such flimscy and impertinent excuses or rea sous were all that Gov. Bullock could find to sanction his flagraut violation of the rights and jurisdiction of the Super ior Courts of the State—a jurisdiction co-ordinate with his own office, and if the spirit as well as letter of our Con stitution would be properly and honest- ly interpreted and respeoted—in all cases like these 25 ante^trial pardons, particularly those mentioned by his Sec retary—the Courts would hare an «• elusive and paramount power, which his Excellency would not dare to iovade or usurp. Does it not strike tbe mind of every one, that his pardons in these cases where he assumed to say ‘justice demand'd Execuh'ee interposition,’ that the Courts could and in all probability, would have dismissed or quashed the other dreaded crimes—not omitting the j indictments ? Does it not occur to ev- equally long list of minor trespasses and misdemeanors. It is these which con stitute the moral inundation that has “in creased, and is still increasing’’—that pervades alike tho Court, the camp—the 21 alls of Legislation and Justice—the Church—the social-domestic circle,— even the sacred province of woman's sphere—and is striking terror and con- j the Constitution, that hear* i sternation into the minds and hopes cf semblance to his descent civilized men, no matter where their homes, or what their rank, pursuits or fortune! And 8trange and paradoxical as it may seem, those nations or com- cry one's mind that the denfendaots Counsel would have moved for such dismissals ? The specious sophistry of the Governor in justification of these pardons where no convictions existed, and his seating himself upon the Bench to the exclusion of its rightful occupants, make a double if not triple raid upon close re- upon the WHITCOMB'S REMEDY ?«?

In the lan guage of tbe Roman moralist, construed to our understanding, “what once were vices are now the manners of the day— such is the general depravity that what once was imputed as a crime, is now re garded as a talent,” And wbat is still more remarkable may be adduced, the degrading, corroding, and, to all appear ances, irremediable fact that these crimes and immoralities are winked at or per mitted to go‘unwhipped of justice’! Is it not true—or does any ono really be lieve that such statements are not only unfoanded, but vile absurdities ? For the sake of our common country, and impelled by the hope that tho eyes of our people may be opened to the glaring aud terrible dangers which threaten their peace, prosperity and lives, through the perpetration of crimes of all grades and degrees—the daily and alarming spread and contagious charac ter of those crimes—together with tbe ingly on the increase in our country. The Uncertainty of our Laws. The ambiguity as well as the multi plicity, of our various laws—the igno rance and corruption of a large majori ty of our Judges, aud the rapidity with which their rulings and decrees are forced upon the country, has well nigh culmin ated to that point which marks them not simply uncertainties hut positive nuisaue. es. Before the war we certainly had fewer Judicatories, both Federal and State, fewer laws, and at least two thirds less ef officials, with far more of justice and much less of expense than now! The integrity of the Bench—from tbe Supremo Court of the U. 8., down to the lowest State tribunal—was then tbe theme of almost universal commenda tion—whilst its legal ability was fully up to all existing circumstances, and al ways corrected or supplied wherever de ficient, by the general disposition to do what was right, if the right could be made apparent. But we are sorry to say that such is not the state of things fostering aid and encouragement they 1 toda y t bu t a sad and most laments receive, aud by which they thrive, have ^j e cb , n go rules the hour! Our laws their being and defy the Courts and Ju- g Cenl to be administered through favor, ries—their prosecutors and officers we or j n hope of some kind of reward present a mccinct tabular account of f ore jg n * disinterested and hoDest in- th) pardons which Governor Bullock has granted to criminals since his term of office began. The account is made out most carefully, aud certified to bo correct, by his Secretary, Mr. Atkinson. We shall not copy it entire, or word for terpretatinn of their letter and spirit. Political-party questions, controlled by the •bulls and hears’ of the political 'Rings' who pay out their bribes and douceurs like English M.

No list of bimgel f_ wbo in turn yie i ds tb# i0 . and character of the criminals’ names, accompanied the ac count. In the space of three years exactly, that is from July 4, 18CS, to July 4, 1S71, Governor Bullock pardoned from the Penitentiary and the different Jails of the State, Four hundred and ten criminals—the larger portion of whom, were either undergoing pnn- isbment or awaiting trial, while proba bly, some wero at large under bonds for lopearance. Of this battalion of law breakers, there were 41 for murder; 15 commuted murderers ; 24 for manslaugh ter; 7 for involuntary manslaughter ; assaults with intent to murder 36; for burglary in the night time 41; do., in the day. 11; simple larceny CS; lar ceny from the person 1; do., from the house 14; do., after trust delegated 5; other larcenies 24 ; assault and battery 14 ; assault 8; do., with intent to rape 5 ; arson 5 ; robbery 8 ; stabbing 3; cheat ing 3 ; swindling 4 ; incestuous adul- ductive charms of personal friendship or the epidemical tolerance of tbe vi cious custom ; and to such we may at tribute in great part, the unparalleled amount of crime which now floods the land, pervading all ranks and profess* ions—tbe old and young—the married and single of both sexes aud every hue. The fountain head is contaminated, end the tributaries only swell tbe poison of the main channel. Again, if the Courts punish offences, tbe co-ordinate branch es of the Government, destroy tbe ef fects by pardoning the offenders, or commuting their punishment—thus in vitiog the same or new parties, to farther transgressions, or causing the courts to be indolent or disheartened. What Statistical From one of our exchanges, the Ports mouth (N. H.) Journal, we extract the following items, from which it may be inferred, that tbe world not ouly mores but is progressing at a Dexter-like stride, compared with the Connasoga steps of earlier times. “It was nearly a hundred years after the landing of the Pilgrims at Plymouth and the Colonists at the Piscataqua, before any attempt was made to supply them with tbe printed news; and another hundred nearly elapsed before much ad vance was made upon the first rude spe cimens ot the typographic art of which the Newspaper theo consisted.” “The first newspaper published in this country was tbe “Boston News-Letter,” tbe initial number of which was issued on Monday, Aptil 24, 1704”—a little less than 74 years after Boston was set tled, aud not quite two years before Benjamin Franklin was born !' Tbe on ly copies of this number, known to be in existence, are but three; one of which is in the possession of the Massachusetts Historical Society, Bos on: tbe others belong to the American Antiquarian So ciety, Worcester, Mass.: and the New York Historical Seciety. It cousLts of two pages of two columns each, on a sheet of about the size of common foolscap pa per, and professes to be ‘published by authority.’ The editor and proprietor was John Campbell, who was also Post Master o( Boston—printed by B. Greeu, and ’sold by Nicholas Boone at his shop ; near the Old Meeting House.” Three of the four columns of which it is com posed are extracts from the Loudou Fly ing Post, of December 2d to 4th, 1703, and the London Gazette, about matters chiefly relatiug to the present danger of tbe Kingdom and tbe Protestant reli gion, followed by an account of the opon- ing of Parliament and the Queen’s speech from the throne, which is devot ed to the same subject. Notice is given of two vessels which aro to sail for Lon don, one the ‘Adventurer,’ of sixty tuns, in three weeks or a month’s time !
