T tIe A'ditor of the Union lcrald : In respon8e to mty official protes agai.Det his habi.iual. prostitition o the Dardoning power, Gov. Moses a) leges, through his assistant secretary in the Plhionix of yesterday, "tIp o the forty-one pardons add d'omiuta tions granted to porsons convicte< in Judge blaokey's Circuit, twenty eight.erogantad on the written ap P plitation of Judgo Mackey himself.' Presuming this statement, to be trdr it does not mneet the oha[;e that I 6 have recorded against-Gov. loses in 6. the acesion's - docket at Lancaster .viz: ThIt' 1A hs so prostituted tl< 0 pardoning pownr as to,.pnske thb ad, hninist .atinn of tlie criminal law v 1 1meokory of justice, and convert the t reat seal of the State into the syni. . ol of app'oved crinie." If he h is granted twenty-eight pardons ou -nij recommendation, as presiding Judge, that only proves that he had a good t and sufficient warrant for granting twenty-eight .p.toii'1's. It no more ,ansprs the charge than if I had ti SOued him of habitually uttering counterfeit notes to a large. amount and he should reply '41 have uttered .lat forty one notes in your circuit, And tweuty.eigit of those were pro nounced genuine by you before I put thorn in circulation.." The want of logical and,, moral for'o in this an swer wotild be still more manifest if it should appear th1t the , twqity. eight unquestionably genuine notes weIQ for one dollar each, while the remaining thirteep, together with scores of others that he had tttered elsewhere, wero each of the denomi 4'iltion of oino hundred dollars, and that hi put them in ciirculatio, know ing them to be counterfeits. Pan urge, thq riscal, declared that lie had forty diflerent ways of making mon , and the honestest is by. petty theft. Governor Moses has not yet announced whether the corrupt grant 'ng of pardons is regarded by him as the greatest or the least of tt(6 iti fanies which lie has practiced amid the vust variety of his crime proved and provable.
