We publish to-day an article from an esteemed
and able correspondent on the subject of Peni-
tentiary. His pen ought not to remain idle, and
we hope we do not impose too heavy task on
him when we ask him TO send in his manuscripts
at least twice as often they have been received
heretofore. But we must say that we think him
a little too severe upon US in the present number
We inserted the article from a Georgia paper
through desire to spread before our readers eve-
ry thing we could that bore upon the subject :;
and we assure our correspondent if such assur
ance be necessary, that thus far we have not seen
nor heard any thing to induce us TO swcrve in the
least degree from the course we laid down in our
answers TO the Register few weeks since We
desire to keep this important question aloof from
party politics. 1t shall not so into them with our
consent


Our paper, as we said before, is open to full
and fair discussion of the question, and we are
happy TO say that we have already enlisted the
energies of some of the first pens in the Common
wealth. We have the fullest confidence in the
wisdom and virtue of the people, and believe ii is
only necessary for them we'll TO understand sub
jcct, TO do right.
