These be brave words from this self-appointed Censor, but they would have more effect on the public mind if the gentleman had exhibited the courage of his opinions by adhibiting his name to his frathy fulmination against the Government, "the huge army of useless officials," "the semi-barbarous population of the colony," etc., etc. It is so safe and so easy to indulge in wholesale vituperation against constituted authority,or against anybody and everybody, under the convenient cloak of a nom de plume the bravo, of the pen dares no perpöhal risk but, as lo this particular instance runs riot behind a fence, being afraid to drop the mask and stand face to face with his convictions. We do not mean to contend that there are not many topics, which can be profitably discussed in the public newspapers by anonymous correspondents-far from it indeed, but in a case of this kind, where the matter at issue is after all a mere difference of opinion on the vexed question of capital punishment, the very strong language this individual elects to indulge in would have looked much better had irbeen printed over a recognisable signature. However, let see how this exercise of the Governor's prerogative is, as this, person asserts, encouraging murder."'
