Th ey have, h owe ye r, n ec essa f i ly vested a d iscretionary power, wi thi n certain limits, in- Ihe courts in fixing the pu n i sh ment. f This po wer was de legated, under a full confidence that it would :;bc .exercised in strict 'pursuance of the policy of the law f and that mer cy wou Id be no f u rther shown to the guilty thari' miglrt be consistent with the safety of the innocent. ' e there fore do not consider ourselves at liberty-to close our eyes 1 poh the fact that we reside in an immense and' growing city, comprising a mixed population 5 and, ; like all such .cities, containing a multitude of vicious spirits, always rea dy, the moment tFiey cease to feel the restraints of the law, tp depredate up on the rights of others. - Riotous as semblages -at night, like the one you were engaged in, are, from the sudden combinatipn of strength which they can here readily acquire, peculiarly calcu lated to break down the , safeguards, of the Iaw,ahd to lay the community open to lawless violence. I A For these reasons the law, which is the offsping of the ex perience of ages, frowns with severity upon them. , -For these reasons it de nounces as murder the killing of a man in a riot, in pursut of an object which might 6e attended with danger to ano ther. As the jury have acquitted you of the charge of murder,' it cannot le gally be imputed to you ; but the crime of which you are guilty, in legaj con templation, falls but little short of it ; for the court to disregard these consi derations in fixing youK punishment, would be equivalent to an assumption that they were wiser than the law. J in fixing the punishment, we intend not only to teach you to know, but all vicious young men, a9 well as others, that the law is and will be master $ that by night as well as by daythat in the lone parts of the city as . wel I as in the populous places it walks side by side with the citizens ; and if it cannot al ways protect, yet it will always punish, and severely too, whenever the workers of iniquity are brought within its grasp ; and that," although it has leaden feet, yet it has iron hands 5 and althpugh slow in its operation, yet it is irresist i ble when it seizes upon its prey. " No matter how extensive may be the com binations, how' violent may be the out rages, yet such is the energyof the law, such is tlie fidelity and vigor of the great body of the community, that the workers of iniquity Will be forever foil ed will be made severely to suffer. ' f In fi x i n g y ou r p u ni shm e n t th e re for e . we have' most deliberately, considered what is due to your crime, what is pro per for your correction, and above all what islue to the peojde, who, under the law, must look to their courts of justice for protection. By these con siderations,' wc: are uounu to govern ourselves, bv assumrngthe trust which the .people have-delegated to us,, and. by a hu inane regard to the welfare ot our leiiow men However much we may pity your situatiop, however mu ch we may commisserate the feelings of your parents, (and we do most sincere y comniisserate them); yet they must yield to the, paramount duty of proT tecting a whole community. Were we to pass lightly by a crime of your enor mity, were we to drop the, sword of justice on an occasion like the present; we should weaken the confidence of the community in the protection of the laws it would giye , head and confi dence to violence, and, public opinion w ou 1 d ; an d j u s t ly , ; y 1st t upon u s th e consequences of future outrages. ; We liave duly considered the testi m oy , which was. given i n , sti ppor t of your, charac tersL: and we have estima ted it in connexion with the evidences of it afforded by the facts developed on the trial. - We have paid, a most res pectful regard to the "recommendation of the jury; A e have considered your you tm fv.xn nxmgi your ; sentence we have. mitigated your punishment as far as a commanding view of the v hole ground AyHlJwarran t us in, d 1 rhe sentence of the coiiH, therefore, is, tfvat Vou be confined in the state district, at hard rthe labor, fiirjthe term of seven years 1 three first months to be in solitude and. thei eniaitider at hard Iabor., 1 1 Befire,yoU !ea.vcvthebar, let me ad monish ypu not to indulge in expecta tions of -speedyv pardoii. -IloWever lightly 'you jmay .estimate your crimeV depend m pfmt i t, t Hat all ortsitjerate men think it a serious one: and that in all probability vou will be matlerito suuer s ipng 1 or, 1 1. nat i m prejssio n upon the xixecutive. a course. of most e xe m pl ryj conduct m ay ;prod u ce, tiqi e will show.1.

T v ' ' Before I leave the bench, I owe it to my station, I owe it to the community, to whose favor I am indebted for the! honor of serving them here, to avail myself of this public occasion to make some observations upon an evilthe ex istence bf Jwhich has been developed in the course of this trial. It appears f rom the testimony, that these youngJ men were j intoxicated at the house 01 one of our jlicensed retailers of spiritu ous liquors ; that the keeper of the house helped them to seven glasses each., Tlat this city abounds with houses licensed to retail spirituous li quors, .which are 'the resort, not sim ply of laborious men, who gp for re -freshnientsl,butfor fathers, of husbands, of sons, wjio go for the purpose of be ing intoxicated, is a.fact of general no toriety, j That, the deplorable1 mass of human misery which results from in temperance is to a considerable extent to be ascribed to the encouragements which are afforded by many licensed retailers of; spirituous liquors, cannot be denied. The evil jjas. long rank led in the! bosom of this cummunity. We iiavle in these young men a dread ful example of the consequences of.it. I here put it emphatically 4s there no remedy? if so, why is it not applied r How many of oar respectable citizens 'must be murdered in our streets ? how many of our youth must be sent to the state prison!? how many victims of in temperance must first find an untimely grave ? how .many broken hearted wi dowed m others and orph a n chi 1 d re n nust first be sent sorrowing through the world, before this slumbering com munity can be awakened to their duty? Believe me,! there is in this city a m'o ral sense, aJ due regard to what they owe to the.ir fellow beinps, which if dravvn intq action woulq purge this land of this sjn. Surely it is not art unreasonabje thing to require that hou ses of this description should be placed under such regulations,' and. subject to such censorship as will prevent them from becoming common nuisances,! that no more licenses. should issue than is compatible jwith tlie general welfare and that all). which are held by ?men ivhose houses are resorted to by. the vi cious, for the purpose of obtaining the means of being intoxicated, shouhl be w i th d raw n .
