LIBER7'Y of SPEECH in the "STATES."

On Wednesday last M'Coy, the Abolitionist, who had
beea treated so like a stranger by the good people of
Pike, made his appearance in our town. This news
soon spread, and about a dozen of our citizens consti-
tuted themselves a special committee to wait upon him,
.and inquire into his whereabouts and business. He de-
nied being an Abolitionist, or that he was the same
man that was ducked in Pike, or that his name was
M'Coy. The proof, however, was conclusive, and there-
upon a jury of good and lawful men was empannelled to
inquire into his case, and if the facts were found
against him, to assess the punishment. The jury having
retired, and evidence being adduced, there was no doubt
left that he was the individual that he was suspected of
being. It was likewise proved that he had talked abo-
lition the night before (besides misbehaving in divers
other ways), and that he had talked abolition that very
morning in town, The verdict, therefore, was, that he
be taken to the town pump, and, after being well
pumped upon, that he be rode on a rail out of the cor-
porate limits of the town. The whole sentence was car-
ried into effect in a most becoming manner, the boys
accompanying the procession with music on the tin-pan,
cow-bells, fire-crackers, and divers other popular instru-
ments. As the sentence was being carried into effect,
M'Coy entered his solemn protest against the whole
proceeding, and we put it on record for his benefit.
" Gentlemen," said he, "I call you to witness that this
whole thing is done without my consent, and rather
against my feelings and wishes." He did not seem to
take it very much at heart, and if we are not mistaken
be has been rode on a rail before he ever saw Pike,
2PCoy is a long-legged man, some 40 to 45 years of
age, stout, and a clockmender by profession. He rides
a white horse, and carries a particularly dilapidated pair
of saddle-bags. Let him be a warning to all Abolition-
ists who come to Tuskegee.—Turkegeeßepublican.
