is beyond cmitrovcrsy that this
class is punished out of all pro
portion to the more fortunately
circumstancedthat the severity
of their sentences is out of all pro
portion to the gravity of their of
fences, and that often the main
fact, that of guilt, ii not too care
fully investigated. This is the
class upon whom the divine attri
bute micht be exercised more fre
quently than it is, but for whom,
by reason of the very fact that
they are poor and humble and
friendless, it is rarely invoked.
Upon the general subject it is
to be said that we are all to ap
pear at the Grand Assize, and we
are taught by our holy religion
that if all receive even-handed
justice, none will pass muster
Every mother's ion of us will
want it seasoned; so, therefore,
itii well euough when we find
ourselves inclined to blood-thirst-inett
to remember
That in the course of justioe
none of as should see salvation."
