"The undersigned, citizens of the county of ITocay bridge, deeply ' impressed with a, convictiou of the e - feet, of Public , Executions in hardening the heart . of the spectators of those bxrrid and wvol ing. scenes in ; perverting their feelings,, in barbariaing their cha factors, in withdrawing wheo communities from their proper and useful avocations, and in the scenes of os . sipation and not uafreanently of crime, to which they give occasion, respectfully - petition your honorable ooaies ior ue passage oi a law req,umng persons cony, victed of Capital offence to be hereafter executed, as V der proper rsguhuions, within the yard ef the prisons 4 in which they may be coaoncd. The authority of the laws would, they believe, -be strengthened fey th vague terror which the appalling idea of secret exe ' cutioiould. inspire, far more than by the appr,. sion oTa scene in which the criminal was to xL t ' himself as the hero of the occasion, for the everuiS ment ef thousands of admiring spectators The i: v ' ' taral effect of these barbarous exhibitions is, net to in spire respect for 4he laws and a salutary fear of their awful penalties, but to rob tbe gallows -of its just tep rors, to harden the heart to every btsnaner emxxtonv t and to make it alike" reckless of the hv ef Cod anj : man. .
