If only men dcstiioie of (csming, and of small Intellect committed this sin, we would im pole it to their brutal ignorance, but I have no plea to make for those men of erudition Sled strong; intellect, who sre generally the men tbat commit this sin. We learn from this, ihat mental ability, classical knowledge, and a gen teel education do not pievent men from commit ting this Unnatural and barbarous sin. Hence it ia evident that the wisdom from above, which ia pure, peaceable, gentle, easy la be entreated, and full of metcy and good fruits, is the enly isdom tbat can eradicate tbe deep depraviiv of the human mind, and calm and regulate those vindictive 1 passions wbich excie to tbe most hideous and inhuman acta Uoo says, " By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing. and commuting adultery, tbey break out, and blood toochelb blood. Therefore, shall the land mourn, and every one that dwellelh therein shall languish, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven." Hos. 4. 2, 3. This text shows na that there are sundry sins of a nation al . character, and that duelling ia one of ihose sins. The lew of the State of North Caroline on duelling reads aa follows: "If any person debts a duel in consequence of a challenge sent or received, and either of the parties shall be killed, then tjhe survivor, on conviction thereof, shall soffer Ideslh without benefit of Clerzy ; and all then aiders or shelters shall be caosieer- ed accessories before the fact, and likewise sof fer death Without benefit of Clergy."- I b-lieve the greater part, and it may be all of the Uni ted States lure made duelling "murder by their laws, aod the punish rnent jliereiif death, yet as for as 1 esn learn this law is no where enforced. Dr. AClaike.-eaysy'.f even for -mrfanf,-where duels are So frequent, if a man kill bis antegn- nisi, ii In mmkt4aDjljM egnerajlyjjroijghjin I ssw irir by an honest Cotooer, and his Jury, ii is men brought into Court: but who is hong for it? Tbe very murder Is considered an affaTf ofboc qr, though if began In a dispute about a prosri tote; an4 it is directed to be brwighl to man- slaughter; and ih murderer ia slightly lined for having turned his nctjnoor, pet no ps once ins friend. io:n the aternsl world, with sll his im perfections on his hesd." Te Doeior taking into consideration duelling, false aweafing. lv in?, atealini. and adultery, - morsoter says, " No wonder lhat a land mourns where' these prevail j and that boo should has a con'ro eersy with it. Such crimes ss these are suffi cient to bring Gud's curse upon any land.' li'mm the furrtroinff remarks, it appears that th crime of murder is overlooked when committed by those men wan are considered great ani hon orable, bat when a poor asd ignorant nun is guilty of murder he is deemed a dangemoe roan te the community, and is huAg ttr'lt. j Hence it would seem thst il a man t ncn, inteiiygeniann hnnnrable. murder doee not make bim a darfgar- ous man to society, snd therefore bs crime is winked at.
