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<

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.
