We have a few remarks to submit in rcpl :o the very courteous protest of the lilttckrivi Watchman to our views as heretofore exprease 311 this subject. The Watchman seems to have niisapprehcnde us, in tiome respects. We never thought < chnvging the responsibility of the ereiition ? existence of the law which atiixes the penalt ?f death to the crime of negro stealing upo any Governor. We are ns well aware as on Iriends that the legislative and not the cxeci tivo branch of the Government is responsih; for that law nnd for all laws. But the sain power which created that la-v creulcd nuotlx giving to the Executive th$ power to comnuil it in all cases where to him it secmcth prope Believing, then, first, that the penalty is abov the offence, and again that the present Kxeci Live had exercised his prerogative in eas< which, though not of the same type, wore } ? fully as worthy of death as that of Kinvax, : ivas our hope and expectation that he wotil ixcreise it again to the extent of n modifieatin >f the sentence under which Kixhas 1101 itamls. We desire the demerits of crimo t licet their full reword in every instance, bu 10 more. Of this particular cnsc we know nc hing more than that ho was convicted of th sriino of negro stealing. Whether there wer :xtonuating or aggravating circumstances cor lccted with his guilt, we pretend not to liav .lie laast knowledge. But that is not the qua .ion.

There is I ( i no use in lian<;inK up a Southern ro;;iic a i :i 1 , senrc-erow to Yankee kidnappers. Self-proservation does not always justify tlie j! use of nnv menus in defence. If the assailed | i lifts justice on his side, self-preservation may:, j Warrant a resort to the most extreme In ft til j ' measures, after other means have been tried.? !1 ilJnt we ba ? triod no other means.

Then where the consistency of - hanging in the one case a:i?l not in the other? \ We look for it in vain.
