Below we are I permitted to publish a letter written by His Excellency, Uov. Caldwell, to a gentlemarfwho was nrg ingi him to release a convict from: the Penitentiary.

AVer purposely nrnit the name of the oartv to whom the letter was addressed, . and also the name of the convict in - whose behalf the application was made; i . ' r RALEioir. Feb. 5. 1872. Dear Sir : Your favor of the 1st inst, with rftcrard to the oardon of is ' to hand. In reply I have to say that I have been compelled to adopt some uniform rule witn resrara to Tjaraons. n wm not u to release every convict for whom a petition is gotten up. Were I to do this, nearly every one in the Penitentiary and in county jails would be turned loose upon the country, and) crime would go unpunished, and I would bring the'. Executive office into con tempt, and ruin to the Republican party. You cannot conceive of tho number of ap plications on file for the pardon of criminal?, and in almost every case the same reasons are urged why pardon should bo granted. I cannot in justice turn out one without turning out all. il cannot and will not par don a convicj simply because he votes with my party, this wonld never do, and I wpuld disgrace myself and the high and honorable position I occupy 4 were I to be governed by such unworthy impulses. I have adopted - what I believe to be a safe rule and one- which I - believe ?every good man in the State, be bo Keublican or Democrat, . will pbrovo. Its. to f pardon those whom the Judge and Solicitor trying the case,, will recommend for pardon, backed up by a pe tition from a respeotable portion of the citi zens of the county wherein the offence was committed. These officials are cognizant of all the facts and surrounding circum stances thev are sworn officers and are presumed to" be' fair-and impartial men and will not withold their, recommendations in meritorious cases.! As a general rule where either one of those officials recommend ex ecutive clemency it will be extended. I have every disposition to accomodate you in a nyi reasonable request, but I cannot do so at the expense of my own self-respect and by shutting my eyes to the duties and obligations of my office. There may becases where I could intervene between a criminal and punishment .with out the recommendation of .the Judgeor Solicitor, but it must be a case the merits of which are so palpable that my justification will be apparent to all men, . i 4 v ery respecuuuy, 1 , i Tod It.
