TIIE PENITENTIARY SYSTEM.
The late destruction of the Penitent ia
ry buildings by lire, will probably bring
the question of the entire abandonment
of the system, or the introduction of im
portant changes in to it, before the next
legislature. If it should be determined
to continue the system, large appropria
tions will be called for, for the purpose of
erecting new buildings for the accommo
dation of the prisoners.
Before this heavy expense is submitted
to, the people ought to be satisfied of the
beneficial operation of the system. The
people ought not to be called on to part
with large sums of money, except for a
valuable consideration. The system has
heretofore proved a very expensive one,
and must still be supported by heavy an
nual appropriations. AYhat benefit has
the public derived from it, or what bene
fits may they hope to derive from it, for
the future? Has the state of society impro
ved since its adoption? Have public mor
als improved? Has the amount of crime
lessened? Have criminals subjected to its
influence been reformed? We think all
these questions may be readily answered
in the negative. The experiment has
been tried by the test of experience,
and the result is not at all doubtful. The
records of our courts will show that crime
of all kinds has increased among us; pub
lic morals have deteriorated; and the sys
tem seems to hold out to criminals of a
foreign growth, an invitation to make
this state the theatre of their opera
tions. The question then returns, what
have the people of this state received in
■exchange for the enormous sums expen
ded for the support of this system? Why
we have the delusions of dreaming phi
lanthropists, who imagine that in the new
system, we have got rid of the severities
and inhumanities of the old.
But this delusion will be dispelled by a
moments serious examination. The sys
tem of Penitentiary punishment as adop
ted in this state, is not more humane than
the old, but on the contrary, more barba
rous and debasing. Let us look at its op
eration. A poor and hungry man is pros
ecuted for stealing a few pounds of meat,
from the house, worth half a dollar; un
der the old system he would be whipped
nnd sent about his business. But, says
the visionary, corporeal punishment is
revolting to public humanity, and degra
ding to the individual. So he is condem
ned to the penitentiary at hard labor for
four years. Let us follow him to his con
finement and see the humanity of the
present law. He is placed in the power
of an under keeper, who “cloathed in a
little brief authority” is sure to act
the tyrant. If the conduct of the prison
oner should not he such as to meet the
approbation of the officers of the institu
tion, lie is tucked up and flogged at dis
cretion; so that the philanthropist, who
would hesitate to inflict thirty stripes, for
fear of shocking humanity and debasing
the culprit, sends him to the penitentiary,
where he may be tortured by the lash or
other barbarous modes of punishment,
every day for forms, at the will and plea
sure of an irresponsible tyrant. We were
present at the workshop of the in
stitution, some few years ago, when a
prisoner was tucked up without the form
of a trial, and ordered to receive thirty
lashes on the bare back for saying “dam
nation" in the presence of one of the In
spectors. And this under the operation
of a law which claims to he purified from
the barbarities of the old system.
But the humanity or barbarity of a
punishment, must depend upon its justice.
A punishment may be severe, yet if strict
ly graduated to the crime, it should not
be called inhuman. Corporal punish
ments tnay be graduated to the offence.
JBut punishment under our penitentiary
system cannot be. In fact they fall with
the greatest severity on the comparative
ly innocent. There have been instances
where individuals have been condemned
to the penitentiary for offences, which
have been the offspring of misfortune rath
er than premeditated or debasing crime;
principles of virtue are not yet extinguish
ed, their affections are yet warm, and
their hopes of the future are high and ar
dent. To such, a sentence to the peni
tentiary is ten times more dreadful than
death. They are doomed to labor in the
penitentiary, to increase the public reve
nue; while their innocent wives, their
children, are left to perish in helpless un
pitied poverty; they are cut off from the
sympathies of tlie world; the mark of
infamy is indelibly 6tnni|>ed on the brow;
nil their hopes of the future are crushed;
nnd every virtuous principle, every kind
ly emotion, everv social ntl'ci'llnn is stifled
by the discipline to which they arc sub
jected. They are degraded in the eyes
of the world; they are degraded in their
own eyes; and at the end of their term of
confinement, they are turned again upon
society, hardened and abandoned wretch
es, with every avenue to a virtuous course
closed against them, every motive for
well doing destroyed, and every incen
tive to evil excited and exasperated. Up
on such, penitentiary punishment falls
like a blighting curse, destroying at once
and forever.
But to the old offender, whose crimes
deserve the weightiest penalties of the
law, the penitentiary presents no terrors.
He looks upon it rather as a temporary
retirement, where he may withdraw him
self tor a while from the scenes of more
active guilt; recruit his exhausted consti
tution at the public expt plan new
schemes of mischief, and from which he
may emerge with renewed powers to exe
cute them, lie has no affections to be
blighted; no feelings of honor to be morti
fied, no hopes to be crushed. To him
the penitentiary is merely a bug-a-boo,
which neither deters from crime, nor pun
ishes it w hen perpetrated.
From this it appears that the peniten
tiary system does not graduate the pun
ishment to the offence; but falls the heav
iest upon the least guilty.
And therefore without being of any
utility, it burthens the people with an e
normous expense. Its expense to be sure
we consider but the least argument against
the system. Did its operation prevent
crime, or reform the criminal, its expense
ought not to constitute any objection a
gainst it. But wdiile experience shows
that it encourages crime, confirms and
hardens the offender, the cost of its sup
port increases the weight of the argument
against it; and in itself it is an argument
which should be insisted on, because it
is easier understood than most others.
The public treasury is a sacred depos
it, which ought not to be squandered in
wild and visionary schemes. Judicious
ly managed money affords the means of
scattering innumerable blessings over the
face of a country; in the hands of profli
gate politicians it is a curse. How ma
ny splendid works of internal improve
ment, w ould the vast sums expended in
penitentiary experiments, have enabled
the state to prosecute. How many colle
ges might have been endow ed, how ma
ny academies have flourished, through
the means which these sums would have
furnished! The free school system, which
would carry the rudiments of education
to every man’s door, could we doubt not,
be supported at one half the expense of
the penitentiary! And this system by stri
king at the root of the evil, by casting out
ignorance, the great nurse of crime, would
do more in the cause of virtue and morali
ty, than a thousand penitentiaries! The
one would offer but an imperfect punish
ment of crime, the other would prevent
it.
From the Correspondence of the Charleston
Courier
Washington May 6.
“Mr. Livingston arrived in this city
yesterday, to assume the duties of the
office of Secretary of State. It is sup
posed that he will go into the Depart
ment immediately, and that Mr. Van
Buren will leave the city in a few days,
to prepare himself for his departure to
England, which it is generally under
stood is his destination. The closest
intimacy still continues between the
President and the ex-Secretary. They
take their morning rides together about
the country bordering on the city, and
are observed to be always in earnest
conversation—their horses ears as well
as their own in close contact. That Mr.
Van Buren has obtained an ascendancy
over Den. Jackson, which no one else
possesses, if we may except Major
Lewis, who is said to be his room mate,
is well known here, and the universal
impression is, that the recent dissolu
tion of the Cabinet is part of a scheme
planned by Mr. Van Buren, and the
consummation of which be dates as far
forward as 1834. when he hopes to be
come the incumbent of the Executive
Chair, in consequence of the disabling
influence of age on Den. Jackson. He
will then have time to perfect his grand
plan of party discipline previous to the
next Presidential campaign. This idea
of getting hold of the highest office
without encountering the risk of an ap
peal to the people in Ilie first instance,
is a hold one: hilt it is to lie supposed,
that the people, warned in time, will not
be accessary to a plot which looks to
their own virtual disfranchisement, un
til the magician has obtained his object.
Mr. Woodbury was to have reached
the city this week, hut as yet I have
heard nothing of his arrival. It is sup
posed by some that Judge White will
reluctantly accept, if he accept at all,
the invitation to take the siiperintend
ance of the Indian Department. He
has been called to this office in conse
quence of the personal regard in which
Den. Jackson holds him. The Presi
dent requires a very trustworthy and
eonfidential officer in the station which
involves all his proceedings past, and
his future intercourse with the Indians.
“AH speculation on the result of the
late movements is at present vain. We
must xvutch the cofirse of events for a
short time before we can arrive at any
conclusions which can satisfy our own
minds, or those of others. The Cal
houn correspondence broke up the cab
inet: and the breaking up of the cabinet
has dissolved the cement which held
the elements of the party in union.
Should tfie new Cabinet be unable to
perform any thing which will have the
effect of rallying the public feeling in
favor of Den. Jacksen, lie will scarcely
permit himself to be run as a candidate,
notwithstanding all that is past. M..
Van Buren may then step iuto his shoes,
and get the friends of Den. Jackson to
take him up. This step, however,
would not prevent the defeat of that par
ty. It is probable that the President
may take anew tack, and come out in
favor of Internal Improvement and the
Tariff, in order to draw hack the wan
dering affections <ff his former support
ers in the West and North. But if he
should do this, whal dependance can a
ny section of country thereafter place
on his firmness, disinterestedness and
consistency?
Norfolk, May 6.
Arrival of the Fairfield —The 11. 8. ship
Fairfield, Foxhall A. Parker, Esq. Com
mander, from the Mediterranean, via
Cape de Verde Islands, anchored in
Hampton Hoads yesterday morning:
officers and crew al in good health nnd
ship in fine order. She left at Port .Ma
hon 13th Feb. U. Si Ships Brandywine,
Constellation, Concord and Boston, all well.
The F. sai ed froir Malaga 7th, Gib
raltar 16th March, aid Porto Praya sth
April. We have been politely favored
with the following list of her officers &
passengers, and particulars of her voy
age.
It will be pleating intelligence to our
countrymen generally, to learn, (as we do
bv private letters,) that the utmost har
mony prevailed in the squadron among
all classes of the officers, and that Com.
Biddle was highly respected and beloved.
The squadron was kept in high order,
and at all times ready ior sea.
The U. S. ship Boston, Capt. Storei,
sailed from Malaga sth March, to join
the squadron in the Mediterranean. The
Ontario was in the Archipelago.
The Fairfield touched at Porto Praya,
to take on board certain American sea
men, accused of mutiny, but they had
left there in the frigate Java, previous to
her arrival. The F. has made a very ex
tensive cruise—she has visited all the ports
of the Mediterranean, the Archipelago,
and up the Adriatic as far as Trieste.—
She has spent two winters at Smyrna, and
one at Mahon, Marseilles and Malaga,
and it is gratifying to learn has lost only
four men by sickness during her absence.
She has on hoard some sugar Cane from
Malaga, and a number of curiosities in
the animal w orld.
Baltimore , May G.
From Lima.— The brig James Bea
chatn, Andrews, arrived at this port yes
terday from Callao, whence she sailed on
rhe3lst January. The editors of the A
merican have received from a friend in Li
ma, a file of the Mercurio Peruano, to
the 29th January, inclusive. The con
tents are not interesting, Capt. Andrews,
reports, that considerable preparations
for war had been made by the govern
ments of Peru and Bolivia. The Peru
vian army, headed by President Gamar
ra in person, had marched to the fron
tiers. The Bolivian army was comman
ded bv the President of that republic,
General Santa Cruz. An interview was
said to have taken place between the two
Presidents, which ended in mutual re
criminations, in consequence of which the
general opinion prevailed at Lima that
war would ensue.
A few days previous to the sailing of
the James Beacham, news reached Luna
of the occurrence of a destructive fire at
Guayaquil, the loss estimated at three
million dollars. The house and stores
occupied by Mr. Swett, an American
merchant, had been burned; but, by the
exertions of his friends, nearly all h>s
goods and furniture were saved. His
loss was consequently inconsiderable.
One of the papers, in mentioning the
fire, states that fifty-one houses bad been
consumed.

THIRD VOLUME of
Tin: fISISIIJIAN
AND SOUTHERN DEMOCRAT.
We would respectfully inform our patrons and
the public that we conteinplato sundiy new ar
rangements, and improvements, in the forth
coming volume of 'the Irishman;” and while
we gralefnlly acknowledge our obligations for
past encouragement, we trust that an augmen
ted liberaliu will enable us to carry those pro
jects into execution. 1 1 deed the political as
pect of things,’ and the relative position iu
which we have voluntarily placed ourselves,
would seem to demand a corresponding energy
and enterprise on our part;—for we cannot con
ceal from ourselves that a crisis is approaching
very rapidly—if it has not already arrived—
when every advocate for good order, and the
“ integrity of this Uni in, must he bold in
avowing, and zealous in propagating the tiue
doctrines of the Constitution. The enemy is
rallying his forces and augmenting his means
of annoyance—the most powerful engines that
talent, ingenuity, or low cunning can bring to
bear, are, or will peedily be levelled at the ven
erable fabric of our institutions—and however
feeble our efforts, they must not be wanting to
“resist the foe.” With this view, we piopose
enlarging our sheet, and giving to it the “form
and piossure” of the ordinary vehicles of infor
mation. The circle of our exchanges too, has
be, n considerably extended, nod assistance has
been secured in ihe Editorial department. We
promise our readers a large accession of origin
al and an immediate transfer of such selected
matter, as may bear on the gteat inteiests of
which we profess ourselves the advocates; —in
short, we are desirous of establishing anew ®ra
in the his ory of the “Irishman dy Democrat "
and respectfully solicit the co-operation ot our
friends.
A renewal of out political professions may be
considered a.- somewhat gratuitcu- al this peri
od of our career; but such is the general brute
rersement of parties, such the open tergiversa
lion, or content ilible trimmi .g , which cltaiac
tenzo and disgrace the period in which we live,
that tlie honest Journalist owes it to himself, no
less than to his patrons, to recur frequently to
first principles. In accotdance wito this con
viction, we now avow our full determination to
abide the issue of those principles which actua
ted us i-i the outset— lrish Disenth raiment,
and he Integrity or the American Union!
F.vory thing hostile to the first, we stand sol
emnly and irrevocably pledged to encounter,
whenever contempt or a lesß excuseable feeling
•till permit us to do so; whatever militates a
gainit the last—no matter whence it p-ocecd,
or under what specious exterior it may bo dis
gutsed, he it open suggestion, Nullification, or
Hartford, or any other Convention—as Atneri
oan-citizens, as men, as the reverers of Wash
ington and his last prectou legacy, we sltaii lilt
up.our voces, “truiupet-tongued, against its
deep damnation!” Opposed as we are and have
evci been to the Tariff. Internal lmpro emerits,
and the whole host ot kindred ao niiii.it tons, we
shall never cease to oppose them with eon inu
tional weapons; but that policy winch would
tear down a magnificent entice, reared at in
calculable cost and labor, and sacrifice, be
cause its latter tenants may have appiopnalc-d
it to other uses than were originally designed
is indicative of sucli wanton lolly, or reckless
ambition, as to leave us no choice between im
plied acquiescence and unqualified rcprobali >n
VV til such measures and their authors, wo can
hold neither council nor communion. We view
them as destructive to the very last degree, of
every thing estimable or sacred in our political
existence; and comparatively insignilicant as
we may seem, if oui friends are nut wanting to
themselves and us, we may yet oppose a formi
dable barrier to the march of ruin 'To this end,
our columns will be open, and we earnes.iy en
treat the contributions ol all friends of the U
mon. “It must bk preserved,” has aheady
been waft< and from a qnarier, whose warning
tones are at once tlie summons to exertion, and
the haibingcrs of conquest. Let us not be un
mindful of the call.
As regards the ensuing Presidential election,
symptoms by no means equivocal, have already
begun to manifest themselves, to the uUtur dis
comfiture of every previous prognosis Nor
does it require any refined sagacity to discovet
their proximate cause— Jackson lias had the
firmness and consistency to frown on the mach
inations to which we have already adverted «Se
hence, some of those that rang tho loudest notes
of praise, are beginning to wail their feeble
cries, or to fulminate their coarsest anathemas,
i’o call this only political detection, were a fee
ble phrase: in our opinion it involves a much
more serious charge of gross moral delinquen
cy, for it must puzzle even nullification sophis
try itself to point ou. the vast discrepancies
between Jackson the idolized, and Jackson the
forsaken! In what lias he fallen short ol the
glorious anticipations, of which these very men
wore the voueners and ptoclainiors? What du
ty has he noglected? What responsibilities has
lie evaded? What recent occurrences have cast
their darkening shadows over a life of unpmat
lelled devotedness, and incalculable public ser
vices?—For ourselves as we were among the first
to support, we are now confirmed in our confi
and nee iu the man, by the very measures that
have entailed the displeasure es his opponents;
and if any possible contingency could induce us
to swerve from our fidelity, it would most assu
redly be of a more important character than a
personal difference with Mr. Calhoun, with
which the public have, properly, nothing at all
to do. Andrew Jackson we now proclaim to be
our first, our last,our only, and we shall y»t live,
we trust, to add, our successful Candidate!
Let iiis lnends come forth boldly: tiie season is
early, but not too early to counteract the subtle
schemes, the Macluavehan artifices of his ene
mies; and while we offer every facility which
our columns can afford, we pledge ourselves to
go hand in hand with them in whatever may
promote the glorious cause!
Tho proposed alteration in our paper will ne
ces-aiily impose additional expenses, to defray
which we solicit an increase in our subscription
list. The first Lumber of U THE ICI iIIM.I.V
