v A Word to llo!hrn. Each -mother! is a
historian.,. She writes not. the history of
empires or of nat ions on paper, but stie writes
her own history on the imperishable mind of
her child. That tablet and thai "history will
mnain indelible when lime shall be no more.
That historv. each mother will meet aaiii.
anJ read with eternal joy or unutterable woe
in liic far nes of eternity. This thought
should weigh on the mind of every mother,
and render her deeply circumspect and pray,
erful, and. faithful in her solemn work of
training up her children for heaven tfnd im.
mortality.' The minds of children arc very
8itc?plih!c and , easily ' impressed. A word,
a look, a frown may engrave an impression
on the mind of, a child which no lapse of
time qan efFacc or wasii out. You walk alotv'
the spa s! lord when the tide is' out and yotrj
lorm charactcrsrof write namcsm the smooth
white sand which""lfes spread out so clear
and bcautifj.1 at your feet; according asynur

the lines and characters of'tuuh, or error,
w hieh ? our conduct impriuts oil the mind of
your child. There you' wrlto impressions
fvir the-jcvei lasting good or evil of yoer child,'
which ; neither the floods r.or the Pterins of
catth cm wash cut, nor death's cold finger
e m erase, nor the slow moving ages of eterni
ty obliterate. How careful, then, should
each mother be of herself in her treatment of
her child. ; IIow prayerful, and how serious,
and how earnest to write the eternal truths of
God on his mind those truths which shall be
his guide and teacher when her voice shall
bo silent in death, and her, lips no longer
move in prayer in. his behalf, Jn commending
her dear child to her covenant GoJ-Tcmi.
Love, Romance, and War. A correspon
tlenl' ,f the Ilochester (N. Y.) Democrat,
wriung from Corpus Chi i.sti,, relates a bit of
romance, which we have not before heard
of. The following is the writer's version :
" About a mile back of our camp is an cr.
campmcnt of Texas Rangers, under "Ihe com
maud of Col. Reil. They have among them
as a prisoner, a -beautiful Mexican -female,
rfbout sixteen years of agej whose recent his
tory would form the ground, work for an in
tresting work of romance, bhc is connected
with one of the first' families in Mexico, and
falling in love with a young man of her own
nation but beneath her in wealth and station
her family refused their assent to "the match.

ful indeed is the maiden, and honorably do the
'exans hold their prizes. 1 We have riot
heard how they will be disposed- of, but pre-
sume the Rangers know tha value of their
prisoners
Mr. -Andrew Jomson, of Tennessee. We
e it stated in the Washington correspon-
encc of the Richmond Enquirer, that Mr.
. Johnson, of .Tenn. a member of the House
f Representatives, and a very estimable and
intelligent gentleman, was taught by his wife
to rad since 'his marriage. - lie is a tailor
by trade, and it is said, yet carrieson his
business at his shop at home.! It is well added
his standing in Uonjrress. is a strong.
I illustration of tho excellence of our institu-
Hons.' Mative mind and labor, by the op
portunities which are at the I command of
every citizen, have made1 him what he is.
It gives us pleasure always to record such
examples. Mr. Joheson may be opposed to
us in politics, but that does not prevent us
from acknowledging his merits, and feeling
interested in his welfare. We do not know
him, but a man who displays the energy,
industry and intellect that he has, is an honor

- Mk. (les: There are" many "thing
which
v . . ke for granted as true, merely
from having heard , them asserted from our
early years, by those whom frc regard as our
superiors, and which will nol bear the test of
strict examination. There is a kind of iner
tia in our nature, which inclines us to adopt
this easy mode of arriving at conclusions,
raiher than undergo the intellectual" labor bf
reasoning and research, or even of close arid
continued observation. May it not be, that
our opinion cf, the expediency and propriety
of a Penitentiary, as an adjunct to our erirfl.
inal code, has been imbibed in this tradition,
ary manner; and when the subject is viewed
on the other side, andihe reasoning w hich is
adduced ia ftvor of such establishment is sub
jected to the ordeal of truth, we mav become
less confident of its utility ; or even convinced
that it is inexpedient and preposterous! ,. The
sentiment ofVjhe writer has Jong been oppos.
ed la the Penitentiary system totally ; while
a close attention to the development of facts,
and a rational scrutiny .bf the arguments ad.
vanced in iLs defence, have greatly strength
encd and confirmed this opposition, '
I hope Editors throughout tic Slate, with
out regard to what may bo their private senti
ments, will hiy before their readers what may
be ollered on ihe negative cf this important
question. I is due lu the people that they
should hear both sides.. - Let them hear the
truth ; for, if a majority Votes for a Peniten-
tiacy, the system will be fastened upon us ;
and arguments and objections will then be too
late. : '':-'t:': -j' ' :; '-l-'i'"ti;' -:.-. - j- :
The lerms"Sin and ,'Ciime, 'though ofte'n
used one for the other,, are by no means sv
nonymous. Sin is a violation of a divine pre-
ceptCrime tho brea'cji of .a human law.
An important disiinction, because many sins
arc not made crimes by law; aiid some things
ire made criminal which o'.hcrwisc would not
bo sinful. It has even sometimes been made
criminal not to do. things forbidden in the di-
vino law ; or to do thai which is commanded
in the divine law. ' wW' I would show "is,
th5t crimes are arbitrary ihings. "
The plulosophy of .Crimo may be a very
uninviting study, but it: is a study which would
be of great utility to Legislators, and persons
concerned in ndminiaterinji the laws lo wri
ters of every description to "instructors of
youth to parents and guardians of children
, I design here onlv to take a brief view of
some of ihe causes of; Crime, for the purpose
of showing that manyiof the causes may be
counteracted, and the crimes obviated. " 1 '
i It must be obvious j to the slightest reflec
tion, that tho gtcat i predisposing causes of
Crime is the want of moral principle a weal:
or perverted principle It is equally evident,
that the strength and correctness of the mor
al principle, dffpends greatly on tho correct.
ncss of the precepts wlith which tha minds of
children ; are imbued ; and of the examples
which are set for their Imitation. In other
i : . " "' I'1.,'... ' ".. ! i
words, tho morals cf youth arc generally
formed by-Education, or left unformed for the
lack'of culture. If this view of the subject
be allowed, it fol'ows, that the predisposition
to cschcvv crime or to commit crime, depends
"really on causes which arc within human
control. - . l
But ihere are influences which tendlo cor'?
rupt morals, and to incite to the immediate
perpetration of criminal deeds. Of these,
let us examine a few. !..'-. .1
The example and persuasion of criminal
associates, is a great means of leading into
criminal acts. The commission of some
crimes requires many actors. This cause of
crime it is difficult always to prevent. " Keep
out of bad company is a rule much easier
laid down than enforced, especially if I the
predisposition is unfavorable. ' But it is con-
solatory to reflect that this rule is carrying
the great mass safe, ar.d that it is capable of
being extended, till there will be no criminal
company to avoid, i s , ;
Ths intemperate use of intoxicating drinks
is the most prolific sourca of Crime that ex
isls anions us. Remove this and we will need
no PeniientiaryJ And this cause of crime
can be removed None is, more completely
within the control of human agency. And
every-friend of our race will-clap his hands
for joy, when thj good deed is done. 1"
- Idleness may oe enumerlxled as a source of
crime. A rigorous enforcement of the va
grant law might remedy this. . ...
"" Inordinate appetites dr. desires, and violent
. ... 1. f... i - : .... .. :. ... 1 1 "
passions, will perhaps besources of crime to
ihe end of timcJ - But take away intoxicating
drfnks, and crin'es from these sources would
be c . arc occur re:v. ; in a moral and wall or
dered community.' - ' .

; The enactment of oppressive laws, and"
the failure to execute the liws justly, may
drive men into crimes. Making too many
things criminal, so that men can scarcity do
or say any thing without violating tho law,
necessarily increases crime.' The above que.
ry may be asked in. ihcso cases.
Advancing'still further, we como to those
laws which interfere with men's consciences ;
making ii illegal to do what their sensj'of du
ty impels them to do ; and illegal to omit da.
ing w lut their conscience forbids them to do.
Under such bus and decrdes, ti.- earth has.
drank the blood of martyrs.
But to return, I trust 1 have shown that the
prevention of crimes, (ut least tho frequent
recurrence of fl igitiou ones,) is by no means
so hopeless as might have been imagined, and
what increases tho prospect and saves" the
thought -'from appearing visionary, -is, that
nine hundred and ninety. nine cases out of a'
thousand, are, by some means, preserved, so
that it only requires tho extension ;of the
means a little further to achieve the desired
object.. Then if crimes can be measurably
prevented, the question may be asked; sfiall
we . use our exertions and prevent them, or
shall vve let them increase and erect. a Peni.
tentiary to punish them? To this' question,
every lover of Cod, every lover of man,
every lover of his country, all that h cement
and benign on earth, will respond, if crime
can be prevented, Let rs do it.' Aud o(

that are propitious to our race will echo, Do
