Duelling

We commend the following sentiment of Dr. Beccher, to those Ckristians who purpose to vote for tbat dintinguishcd duellist Henry Clay. The neonsistency of voting fur duellists is Klaring. To profess attachment to liberty, and vote for men whose principies and vhose practices are alike hostile to liberty - to conteud for equal laws, and clothe with power thosc who despiee thetn - to enact laws, and intrust their execution to men who are the first to break thetn is a farce too ridiculous to be acted by freemen. In voling for the duellist, we patronize a criminal, whoni, in our law, we have dooir.cd 10 die. "VViih one hand we erect the gallows, and with tbeothcr rescue the victim; at one breath declare kijp. unf:t to live. nd tho next co#iitute him the iguardián of our rights. Cancel, i bcsaocl you, I tlic lawn against fluellirijj - nnnihthite ynur ui i.nijml code - level 10 the ground your prÍ3uns, and to restore to the sweets oï society, and embraces ofchnrity, thcir inore innocent victims. Be consistent. If you tolérate ono eet of villníñs", tolérate them all; ifmurder does not aiagger your confidence, let if'not v?avcr at iriíéííor c:i:its. In our prayera, we request thut God yvpult! be3tov upen us good rulers: jtiSt men, ruling m the fcar of God. By voting Jor duellisis.we demónstrate the insincc i:y sfaücb pr.'iycis- for when, by the Prov idence c(' God, it 3 lelt to our choice whoui we will have, we vote for murclerere.
