• STATE OF THE pOUNTRY.
MsONritiT Len tif.ATToe.—On the night of Thursdz-ty, the
tenants of Mr. Arthur French, of Carney Castle (tea in num-
ber) were individually visited by a gang of lawless ruffians,
headed by an armed desperado, and solemnly sworn not to wait
any more under any pretence. or for any consideration, for their
landlord. Before the illegal oath was administered, each victim
was placed on his knees and severely beaten with sticks, as a
foretaste, we suppose, of what he may expect should he be guilty
of a vio!atinn of his oath. His Excellency the Lord Lieutenant,
for tho better apprehending and ()tinging to justice the perpe-
trators of this outrage, has been graciously pleased to offer a
reward of 1:30. We can assign no reason for this outrage, if it
be not that Mr. French has rendered himself obnoxious to a
desperate faction for dispossessing, by a tedious process of law,
a set of refractory tenants who would neither pay rent, nor give
up voluntary possession.—Limerick Times.
Dese,:n ‘TE OUTRAGE.—RICI(I.OOGE, OCT. 11, 1&35.-1 was
travelling from Limerick on the Glin car on last Friday, when
the horses having refused to draw from Askeaton, I, despairing
of their being got on, proceeded on foot, having a double-bar-
relled gun in my hand. On coming towards Robertstown, I
was overtaken by two men who entered into conversation with
toe, when seeing me off my guard, one of them seized hold
of the gun, and while I was endeavouring to rescue it, the other
gave me several blows on the head with sticks and stones, which
so stunned 'lle, that I could retain it no longer. They then made
off, chargiug me not to follow them. The gun was covered
with a thick cloth case, which prevented use from making any
effectual use of it, although loaded.—l am, air, your very (Medi-.
ent servant,—Henry G. Cashel.—Limerick Times.
ATTACK ON THE CifirttCll OP JONESHOIIOUGH.—Attacks on
protestant places of worship have become lamentably prevalent
of late; and we learn, with regret, that even the parish church
of Jonesborough has not escaped.. On the night of Sunday,
the 4th instant, the windows of that venerable edifice were wan-
tonly broken, and the interior part of it most shamefully dese-
crated by, it is supnosed, some of the mere zealous disciples of
the ingenuous Dens. The building was, it appears, undergoing
a thorough repair, which, in the nature of things, may in some
measure account for the sacrilegious act; as this church was by
many fondly thought to be one of those doomed to destruction
by the heartless hill of Lord Morpeth.. As a further indication
of the spirit which actuates the peasantry in the above neigh-
bourhood, we may mention that, a few days ago, some cattle
seized by the orders of Captain Seaver, of Heath-hall, for tithe,
of which he had undertaken the payment, were forcibly rescued,
and tke bailiffs severely abused.—Newry Telegraph.
THE Mueugn NEAR DUNDALK.—The inouest on the 'Jody of
John Quinn, who was murdered near Dundalk. on the 22d of
September, terminated yesterday evening, and a verdict of
murder against some persons unknown was found. The
jury were occupied with the investigation for seven days at in-
terval', from ten till five o'clock each day, and sixty-six per-
eons were examined, most of whom prevaricated and showed a
determination to conceal the truth.

THE LAND OF LIBERTY.

GLEANINGS FROM THE NEW YORK PAPERS,

New Orleans, it seems, has but barely escaped a mobbing
scene, and the editor of a paper in that city a Lynching. An
ancient philosopher is said to have advised a man who was de-
sirous of being informed what was the nature and effects of a
democratic government, to try it in his family. The example
of the spirit of lawless violence which has shown itself in tram-
pling down the laws, and superseding courts, as it spreads, be-
comes familiar to the inhabitants of the south, bids fair to bring
home to their own experience the consequences of such licen-
tiousness and outrage upon personal security. The practice of
Lynching, which commenced in that quarter of the union, bids
fair to become troublesome even to those who have treated it
very gently, if they have not directly countenanced and encou-
raged it. At New Orleans, an article appeared in the Louisiana
Advertiser which displeased a military corps, and the conse-
quence was such strong symptoms of mobbing appeared that
the editor had to flee for his life,. and the proprietor, though he
had nothing to do in getting up the offensive article, was carried
to jail for safe keeping.
We arc in a fair way to learn how far a civilized country can
proceed without protection of law, and the security of justice.
From New Orleans we have accounts of the evening of the
sth. Tranquillity had been restored, but no intelligible account
is given in the newspapers of the causes which provoked the
excitement.
At a meeting of the city council on the 4th, two resolutions
were passed, the one calling on the goveruor for UM staud of
arms, for the use of the citizens in preserving order—the other
directing all coffee-houses and grog-shops to Ise closed at eight
o'clock.
The legion continued to patrol the city, and other cOrps were
forming under the denomination of the Urban Guard.
The steam-packet brines Cherlestou papers of Saturday af-
ternoon. The exeitemeut at the south appears to be greatly
allayed. The followiug are the only particulars worthy of in-
terest :
EVvecrs oP THE GALL—A gale of wind commenced on
Tuesday last from N.E. to E. which continued from that ("hur-
ter until yesterday noon, when it suddenly shifted to S.E.
thence to S.S. E. and blew with great violence. Little or no
damage was done to the shipping. owing to the greatest violence
of the gale being front the S. The Spanish brig Isabella the 2d,
lying fur several days in the stream opposite Magwood's wharf,
was driven into Frazer and Co.'s wharf, after parting her cable
anti dragging her anchors, destroying her boat, and losing one
man overboard, in what manner is not known. The packet-
ship Saluda was driven high up the dock at Boyce and Cu.'s
wharf, where she is aground. The sloop Martha and Jane,
lying at Williatns's wharf, had her larboard side stove and sunk.
A wood schooner was also sunk at Mey's wharf. A schooner
called the Fanner, lying in Ashley River, was driven ashore on
the east side, a little above the bridge, where she is a-ground.
—The steam packet Edwan lost her figure tread and a few
stauncheuns. 'lhe south pier of Chisolm's Wharf .received con-
siderable damage, also a small pier at Vanderhoret's wharf.
Gibb's whirl is likewise badly injured, and some damage bits
been sustained at Williams's wharf, the south side of which is
gone. Gadsden's north wharf has received considerable da-
mage, the head being swept entirely away, as has` also Norton
and Carroll's wharf. The bathing-house on East Bay, which
has stood sixteen years, is so touch injured as to be beyond re-
pair. We have heard of no rojury is the city. with the excep-
tion of some fences and trees blown down. We learn frhin se-
veral persons who visited Sullivan's Island this morning, that
no damage whatever was sustained there. The tide did not rise
higher than an ordinary spring tide. Much damage has, no
doubt, been done to the rice and cotton crops, at riots exposed
to the iufluence of the gale.--From the Charleston Mercury.
Kay WEST, SEPT. 4.—The schooner Pee Des has been found
inside Florida Reef, full of water, masts gone, but hanging
overboard, and not a person on board. A scuttle had been cut
through her quarter deck, which leaves some hopes that her
crew have beets taken off, and attempts made to save the bag-
gage. The vessel has been taken into Newfound harbour, and
the wreckers are now engaged in pumping her out. I am in-
formed that souse trunks containing wearing apparel have been
found in the cabin, and about 180 dollars in paper money, gold
and silver, also one gold and two silver watches; she will be
brought hero in a few days. [The hopes above expressed of the
safety of any of the persons on board the schooner, are, in all
probability, fallacious, as from the account published in our pa-
per or Monday, it will be seen that a black man had been taken
off the wreck, where he hart remained five days without suste-
nance, from whose statement there cannot be a doubt but that
every other soul on board (eleven in number) had perished.
We have but a few particulars of the affair, but it will probably
appear that the hole in the quarter deck was cut by those who
rescued the survivors.]—lbid.
SUUTHbatr SENTIMENTS.—Words will never convince the
north of these truths—actions must. Let the south then be
true to herself and diminish the dangers of such an intercourse,
by diminishing as far as practicable, and even at the temporary
sacrifice of her own interests, the commercial intercourse with
the north. Let the first step, already taken, by the establish-
ment of a direct line of packets from Charleston to Liverpool,
be pi omptly followed up. Let our planters and cotton buyers
in the interior compel the American cotton and rice trade to
concentrate on the seaboard of the cotton and rice growing
states. There is no need of sending their produce to be stored
in New York to ensure a speedy realization of the proceeds.
Why not store it here ? Our banks are able and willing to ad-
vance to every reasonable extent. Let us then take our town
trade with Europe into our own hands—and assert, at least, our
commercial indepeudence of the north. Let the whole people
of the south urea and encourage their merchants to effect this
patriotic and union preserving object. Let it be one of the
chief subjects of deliberation in the convention of the southern
.states, if that convention is called, as we trust it will be in ac-
cordance with the Charleston resolutions, in the end the step
must result, net only in the greater sta'eility of southern institu-
tions, but in southern wealth derived front retaining at home all
those benefits of southern industry, on which northern enter-
prize now fattens. It may starve some of the restless spirits of
fanaticism out-at their present purse fed insoleuce ; and, at any
rate, will compel the trading community in that section to at- ,
tempt, by striking down this hell-born monster of hypocrisy. at
home, to win back the confidence which once gave them a rich
portion of the products of southern labour. And if it fail of this,
it will at least tend to secure the permanency of the friendly
connexion between the sister sovereignties of the union, by
putting a stop to those opportunities of iutermetidling with our
business and intruding into our privacy, which the evil disposed
among our northern brethren have been too long permitted to
enjoy, amid have trade themselves our northern enemies, by
abusing. We shalt return to these views, having only room to-
day to premise these words in soliciting attention on the follow-
ing article.—Charleston Mercury.
NON-INTEI:COLTSE.—We call the attention of the southern
merchants to the justice and propriety or extending their inter-
course with Philadelphia. It is the only northern city that has
responded in a proper spirit to the call of the south on the
north for energetic action. Let non-importation agreements be
eitteied into ho a proper combination atnieng those eugagad in
~ trade at the south, to cease all intercourse with places that show
hostility, or a criminal indifference to our rights and interests.
Let us encourage our friends and cease all communication with
our enemies. Let Lowell be among the first to be placed
under the bar of non-intercourse. Let us consume none of her
mailufactures.—Charleston Patriot.
The .4ikin (S. C.) Telegraph of the nth inst. says, "Judge
Lynch pinned it into ii eliap a few dal s since, down on the Runs
in this 'Relict. We have net hearth all the particulars. The
fellow was found in the cotton Feld with the negroes, and when
detected feigned partial insanity. There were ten others of the
like stamp detected about the same time iu Orangeburg district.
We learn that Judge flung presided there and passed sentence
on them.
TimE CASE OF ABBE DEAN,—Messrs. Editors,—ln answer to
the inquiry of '• Justice." in your paper of yesterday, I would
state that the citizen of 'Connecticut alluded to at the meeting
on Wednesday as having been tried and executed by a self-
constituted committee, without the intervention or judge or jury,
was Abbe Dean, of Thompson, in the county of Windham, son
of a highly respectable inhabitant of that town. Ile is said to
have been ti young man of excellent character, and a class
leader, if I mistake nut, in the methodist church, of which his
father has long been a worthy member. He was hung at Li-
vingston, Mattison county, Mississippi, (not Tennessee.) on the
Bth ofJuly last. A letter hum that place, dated July 7th, pub-
lished in the Lexington Reporter of the 25th, thus 'briefly' de-
scribes his fate, "To-day Abbe Dean was tried, and will he hung
to-morrow at twelve o'clock. Another man from Kentucky was
eso tried. condemned, and will be hanged with Dean. His
*muse is Doneyon, from Maysville. The course pursued by the
eummittees at Livingston has been approved by other counties,
who have sent deputations to that piece, in oilier to learn their
their proceedings, and Adopt the same mode!" Another letter
front Canter' Grove, Mississippi, dated July 9;11, speaking of the
horrible proceedings of the Livingston committee, states, that
Dean was hung on the day preceding. These men, were exe-
cuted as abolitionists, end on a charge, as stated by Doilevon,
of having been concerned iu a negro insurrection in that state.
They both died protesting their innocence, and, as it is now ge-
nerlly believed, even in the vicinity where those atrocities were
committed, were the victims of a causeless and unfounded ex-
citement !—Neap Honest Herald.
VENEECEI c.—Wrhave.bern favoured with the following ex-
tract from a letter, dated Puerte C belto, August 28th. It is
' from a highly respeCtable source :—" lam sorry to inform you.
