Louts, June 16, 1968, parture of the Comumissi 1 Assemblies we have had our share of the Fenian excitement both on account of movements at Lome ¢ the Canadian border, The Roberts-Sweeney stion deserve credit for the sccresy of its move- st xix weeks, for it has transpired they were aoti 5 meotings and making prep- arations for the late campaign while everybody of the out- side world really supposed they were defunct. As soon as Since the d terian Gene the movement o t Ca st thing, 400 wen left this city for Bullalo, and in two days more another 100 departed. ‘There was s gen- mne eommotion among the wives, sweethearts and serv- ant-girls, and an active « avor to send Pad wars in good style.

Ono of tho airested parties is Judge Dailey of the County Court, a fiereo conservative, The day suceeeding bis arrest ho made a speech to the Fenians in'front of the Court-House, in which he said that if the President and Secrotary of State dared thus to insult the people by toady- ing to British influence, * then down with them.” This sentiment was received with hearty cheers, and was re- peated, in substance, by other speakers, The point to be observed is that Judge Dailey and all the rest have here- tofore bean the Prosident’s warmest supporters in this ru{',“-nd that if they leave bim on this issuo be is doomed to b left_with a very small party indeed, The evening organ of tho Administration party, taking the alanmn, & fow days ago had o savage article attacking the Uunited States District-Attorney, for his vigor in prosecuting the Fenians, said vigor consisting in_putting ono Fenian on the stand who could testify to nothing without eriminating himself, to testify against the others.

The leaders in this movement have imported ort Lafayette martyr Mahoney from Dubuque, Towa, s an editor, and subscribed enough money to insure the appearance of a new Democratic paper in this city on the 1st of July. The Irish are now secking a close political union with the reorzanizers of the old Democratie party, nud the latter are bound to receive them. 1f this associa- tion i8 effected, the remnant of the old Blair-Claybank party will bo wiped out.

Stm: Will you permit one who believes the panishment of death to be proper, in the case of the willful murderer, to say & few words in your columns in its defense? According to the Bible, the punishment of death for murder was unauthorized previous to the Flood, There are strong reasons for saying it was prokidited. Cain, the first nurderer, received his first sentenco from God himself, It was o sentence short of death, Tho strength of the groufd was not yielded to his toil, and he was doomed to bo “a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth.” Aund, lest he should be slaiu as an outlaw, God set a special mark upon bim for his protection aguinst killing, end denounced 8 1d vengeance on who ghould slay him. Th cuons example was undoubtedly followed, and ac- copted as the law declared by the expressed will of God Iy, we find that Lamech,one of Cain’s desceud- ty of a cruel murder; but the death penalty s not ioflicted. Lamech cited the case of Cain asa ent, and insisted on a like impunity. [Sce Gen.. . iv.] Sult of this non-inflietion of the death penalty was he carth was corrupt,” and was * filled with violence,” and that ¢ ination of the thoughts of the hearts of men was only evil continuzll So utterly depraved did society beeome, nid so hopelessly irrepurable was the moral condition of maukind, that God sent a flood of waters to destroy a'l mankind except one righteous man aod his family, [Seo Gen., chap. vi.] ould seem, therefors ,that the ahsence of the death It poalty bas been protty thoronghly tried. The ex- t continued for about 1,500 years, and universall deplorable result was eppareut to (.'u‘{v, 10 afford n solewn waraing to man—more bical philanthropists. » Flood, the death pealty, 10 case of murder, hed. ntered into and formed & part of the V. 1" which God wade with Noah and Lis pos Tity. law for the future was laid down, very explicitly, as « And surely your blood of your lives will] re- ud of every beast will I require it, and at an. At the hand of every man's brother will ife of man.

If be did ot fleo to one of the cities of refuge, or if he did not remain there, he might lnwfully be slain. At the proper time tho slayer was to be brought before the congregation for judgment. If it appeared that the killing was willful’and unlawful, ho was to_be exccuted, aud no satisfaction for his life was to be taken. If it was shown that he killed ditic ex ulti- Lis vietim by misadventure, and not of malice afore- thought, he was acquitted, and, after rema the city of refuge until the death of him who was b st when be first fled there, he was permitted to go home and live in But the willful murderer was ** surely to be put to b, and by public anthority; and it was declared that blved defiled the land, which could not be cleansed except ¢ the blood of him who shed it. [Sce Numb., chap. xxxv.; Josh., ehap. XX.| Inthe New Testament there is nothing whatever to in- dieate that the will of God had changed as to requiring the death penalty for murder, but much to iudicate the coutrary. In tho first place, Cbristianity did not profes to interfer with forms of government, or with mubicipal 1t sought to reform the lives of men by im- ¢ true knowledze of God, and by enltivatin While the Messial Lall its types and shadows were remov performed thieir offic ?\, the moral law, ns od, foses, wid 1ot repe itg death for murder was not of Moses, bu wmong all mankind ever since the Flood, An sposide onjoins upon Christiaus not to arenge themselves, becausp vengeance belongs to God. And this vengeance, or viadication of Iis law, Ife executes by the i civil magistrates, who are * his winisters, atte tinnally upon this very thing,” who sword,” for this very purpose. Civil government is de- clared to be the ordinance of God, and is not to be re- sisted; and the civil magistrate is expressly recognized s rightiully armed with the sword—thoe power to execute the penalty of death, (See Rom., ehaps. Xii. and xiii.] It is sometimes urged that the spirit inculeated by Josus and his Aposties istoo fiumle and forgiving to allow of tho death poualty among Christiaus. To this T answer briefly: 1st, Jesus and His Aposties did foibid privete revenge, aud the infliction of death by private persons. But, 2dly, they never intimated that the law given to Noak and Lis sons was repealed; they only turned over its execution to the civil magistrate, They Tecognized the law as inforce still, not for righteous men, but for the wicked, and for murderers in express terws. Jl Tim. i. 9.] 3dly, In the parable of the wicked husbandmen, the puuishment of death is recognized as proper in the case of those who had maliciously slain the heir of their landlord. 4thly, In many cases violent death, by the hands of men in ublic anthority, is reeognized as a punishment from God, and Justly intlicted. [Sce Luke xiit. 1-6, xxi. 20-24, xxiii. 40-41; Actsxav. 111 1 respectfully suggest that nothing ean exceed the child- ishness of a late fippant item in TuR TRIBUNE, in which it is asked ** Can auything bemore cowardly or more blood- thirsty than that a iillion of nen should seize an unarmed fellow-creature and slowly strangle him to desth?”- You wight as well ask * Can anything be more unworthy than for & God, of intinite power, to take away the life of & finite, helpless being, merely because he can?’ God's Judgment is that the willful murderer is unit to live, He lLias imparted this ludgmufl! to men. He has enjoined them to iuflict death upon the willful murderer. And the power to do this, and the duty,1s by His will devolved upon the civil mugistrate, who represents the majesty and power of the whole community,” The magistrate acts aceordiug to law, the embodicd will of the whole commu- nity; and the community, in enforcing such a law, are aeting in accordance with a law of God, esacted in His great mercy and care for our race, After all'the sentimentality which ean be indulged in, it is, and always has been, at least sinco Noah's day, 8 pre- vailing feeling of the human heart that the willful mur- derer should not be suffered to live, 1In such cases as that of Probst, the murderer would be slain by the mob, if the law did not inflict the punishment of death, Iinsist that it is letter for the community that public law should inflict death a8 the punishment of murder, than that the lo should infliet it by irregular violenee, And the goodp:fl 3 commaunity is the on/y consideration which can y be taken into the acconnt. The law of God, inflicting death for murder, is founded on the same consideration. Its wis- dom, and ita necessity, to those who might otherwise be so irreverent as to doubt, ought to be considered as estab- lished by 8 woful experience of over 1,500 years in which capital punishment wag not indficted.

KrsseTi SQUARE, Juse 15, 1868, What a carious instinet in our human nature is the suoering instinet; the disposition to pooki-pooh back to the common level any one who attempts to rise above it. “ This is a good boy,” says the teacker, “I am proud of bim.* Straight the other scholars pounce apon him. He'is a hypocrite " They ory, without examination, “ He is no better than me, but only more sly.” The title of teachers Favorite becomes a title of shame; and the poor little chap, if ot a real hero, is sooner or later compelled to come down from his saperiority, and prove his title to equality by some extra nanghtiness, just for the sake of peace. The young Datchman, carrying his grain to mill, sakes oud from one end of the bag the scone which bas from all time beem used to balance the grain in the other, and lays the beg with balf the grain on each side the horse’s back.

S0 when T heard, some years ago, of a society called Pro- gressive Friends, 1 remember that my first sensation wes as jmpulse to sneer. Progressive—bumph—old opinions med good eroagh for them. Progressives—radicals, skeptics, spir itualists, athelste, bloomers, amalgamationists, freo lovers, waniacs—1 have a mind to put them dot T do not mean to soy that I used these words, but that the Instivetive fecling of the moment, before examination, aroused, ua far a8 T can judge, by the mssumption of seperiority fn the word Progressive, was ruch as incites to the use of suek words, aud to the actions that follow. Happening to be vigiting, this Summer, in one of the lovel- est of farming districts, and in that part of it lately turned into pictures for the public by one of its own bogs, in “The Story of Kennett,” I found myseif in the midst of the yoarly meeting of this very soctety. Falling fnto Live with the long procession of comfortable carriages of all shapes, drawn by comfortable borses generally iacliuing to the circular shape, X took my sest ino meetingLouse with pothing progressive, about it, except the flowers oo the table. The bouse was built to accomimodate 330 persons, but on this occasion it Add sbout 600, On looking over this congregation of fanatio X was struck with the fact that tho men did oot, a8 o geversd thing, wear long hair, nor the women skort, rlthough there wore a few gracefal examplee of the latter. In fact, I was ook able to distinguish, except iu a tendency to Quaker simplicity, any difforence in dress or persenal appearance Tetween them end other assemblages. I should not even have known, from their agparel or manners, that the women speakers, including those who desire to do their own voting, were mascuiine, wog the men who sympathized with them effeminate. So decoitfal, in these Iatter days, are personal appearances. But I did notice one or two peculiarities, such as s stranges 10 @ nefghborhood is more lkely to see than those famillar with it. 1t struck me that it would be bard to find an assem- blage of country people (whose time is necessatily more ocow pied with toil than study) in which there was a larger numbee of wide-awake, earnest, significant faces. Some circumstance or combination of circumatances, nod very remote, has set these people into habics of thinking be- yond the degree of oulture which generally precedes suoh habits. Freedom of opiion and expression on all imaginuble subjects is the fashion of the place: originality, running oftem into eccentricity, 16 allowed the freest scope. Isms are plenty, Lut T suppose that such good farmers s the Chester County men may be allowed to run s little wild on metaphysioal sub- jects, and such good housekeepers as tho Chester County Wwomen can afford to talk politics. Awd s neighborkood whiok has in such numerous instances erysta'lized its notions into tbe patentaple working forms which revolatiopize trade, may well indulge some surplus eccentricity. But there is one peculiarity in such meetings which is o sgrecable. 1remember 8 time in our family history, whea, after maay {elu of lodging, we stood in a house all our own, "The first thivg we young folks did, when we stood in thed cwpty bouse, was £o lock the doors, The next, to sing, shoat, scream, clatter up and down stairs, aud _give way to every urd indulgence of our novel liberty.
