PiitLADXLetiiA, July 24, 1865. t i The appetite of debased human na- ' | tare, which finds delight in gloating, 1 > with dilated eyes, over scenes of horror, ] > | and which, for tha last four years, haa , ' been accustomed to satiate itself with , I tbe dying shriek* and groins of tbe i - I, thousands whose blood has drenched tbe j South — with tbe pale, emaciated features i , | and struggling gasps of starvad prison- 1 I I ers, — seems now to be expended opon 1 t the murders aod other deed* of violence 1 > > which have recently been of such fre- ' I i quenl occurrence. It was, perhaps, a j " J shade of this morbid craviug for excite- , i | nient, which induced tbe sxtraordiuury • - ; and universal interest manifested in the • i ; trial of Mis* Harris, who was acquitted 1 - ; of the charge of murder, last week, in ' i Washington. Everybody read the pro- . ; feedings aa they were published, and the ^ • same spirit of approval which led. the j ' , anxious listeners to the court-room, to | ■ | throw up their hat* and wave their hand ' i j kerchief* upon bearing the verdict, was , ! exhibited here ; but, daring to differ! ' i from public sentiment, we ask yoo, j • Messrs Editors, whether a portion of j 1 F i the sympathy devoted to the outraged , 1 1 feeling* of womankiod might irvt wjtb ! propriety and humanity, have bortT'ac- 1 - corded to tbe widow of Buroughs ? ! - T^re is a strong disposition among the ' - American people not to permit men to - deceive and trifle witb the gentler sex, » and as there tecuis to be uo other ade- - quale means of obtaining redress, a resort to private punishment, under some r circumstances", is, in our opinion, per- >' lecily justifiable. In fact, we have met j> with several masculine specimens' whom o tbe ladies, ainca thoy can do il with lot- , ponity, might rtmove without any terie out objietions upou our part ; but we it have grave apprehensions lent the dear n i creatures, being made sole judges of the • case, should be disposed to csrrj/'tbe • ; priucipie entirely too far, and bare re- • ; source to that remedy, wheu one less stj vcre would have beeu more suitable. ^ Imagine the dangerous precipice on !, j which we ataud, if every ilalteriug word, le j is to b« interpreted an intimaiion of love, i- ! every expression^ of love a promise oi i. j marriage, and every engagement to be le enforced with a revolver. We acknow- '• j ledge, with candor, that tbe echo of fej male conversation sometimes, upon eleep- | lew nights, rattles through our brain, la ! hour* after the reality bas passed— that 1P 1 as light susceptibility to the char.ua of of i the mx, seem* to be one of our weak- ' '• ; ueaset— but we most decidedly beg to , be excused from favors of that particu- ! ^ j lar kiod.
