 MORGAN WILLIAMS

 You have committed deed at which htf- man nature starts, and the mind recoils with horror! You have shed the blood of your brother man, and the offended laws have pronounced your doom Whoever sheddeth mans blood without cause, by man shall his blood be shed.'

 The unpleasant task has this day aevolg- ed upon me as the minister of the law, to pronounce this stern and solemn sentence. To die, when one is prepared 10 die, with a man, IS not perhaps, to be regarded as a very great calamity for 1t is appointed un- to all men once to die. But to be hurried from this world, to appear before the Great Judge above, stained with crime and crim- soned o'er with guilt, is the greatest evil that can fall to the lot Of man. Sitting in this judgment seat we have no power to extend pardon 10 the guilty offender. But with God, there IS mercy and ample stores of forgive ness. By deep repentance, and sincere con- triton, perhaps the mercy of Heaven may reach your case, and your crimes, though red as scarlet, may he made white as wool

 That you may employ your few remain ing days in prostratlng yourself before the throne of the Most High, and by sincere prayer and deep repentance, supplicate him to pardon your crimes and blot out your of fences-and that He may turn listning car to your applications, and grant you full pardon, IS my most fervent prayer.

 It now remains for me to pronounce the judgment of the law.
