THE LAND OF LIBERTY.

(From the Montreal Herald.)
According to our latest American papers, Judge Lynch is
again doing an admirable stroke of business on a pretty large scale.
At Baton Rouge, Louisiana, forty or fifty negroes had been
arrested, "under the charge of an intended insurrection," and
the militia were in pursuit" of the white accomplices of the
negroes.

2. At Mobile a great excitement had been caused by the ar-
rival from New York of "four coloured persons" in 'defiance
of the laws of the sovereign and independent state of Alabama.
"The committee of vigilance," thouih an illegally constituted
body, appointed, as a sub-committee, Judge Hate, Judge Lips-
comb, and others. Judges, as members of an illegal committee!
Mr. Lynch has a good right to styled judge.
3. At Post of Arkansas, "a very serious affray occurred, in
which some of the principal citizens of the county were engaged,
and in which pistols and-knives were freely used." One mar-
ried man of respectability, who was merely a spectator, was
killed by a pistol ball.
4. At Norwich, Connecticut. "the windows and wiudow-
sashes of a school for coloured children" were destroyed.
5. At Haverhill, Massachusetts, on Sunday evening, while
an abolitionist was lecturing in a crowded meeting-heuse, "a
volley of stones and lighted fire-crackers were showered through
the windows into the pulpit, and upon the congregation," by
order of Judge Lynch. •
6. At Richmond, Virginia, " the incendiary publications,
remaining in the Richmond post-office, were taken out and pub-
licly burned in the main street, under the superintendence of
the post-office committee." •
7. Notwithstanding president Jackson's conciliatory recal og
the acting governor of Michigan, the dispute between Michigan
and Ohio begins to look more and more serious every day.
Otito AND MICHIGAN.—Affairs begin to look serious. Three
thousand men are ordered out in Ohio. The Detroit Journal
.says, the legislative council have made an appropriation of three
hundred and ten thousand dollars for the pm pose of defending
the southern frontiers from the encroachments of Ohio. We
understand that this fund is placed in the hands of the acting
governor to-be disposed of as he may think proper.
8. Though one murder does not evince a general disorganiza-
tion of society, yet four or five murders, simultaneously com-
mitted in different portions of the same district, do very clearly
evince something of the kind. Read the following, and be
thankful that Montreal is not New Orleans, and that Lower
Canada is not Louisiana.

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 19.—Mona DEEDS OF DEATH.—Mr.
Sallange, a respectable sugar planter at Attakapas, when re-
turning a few days since from a visit to a neighbour, and passing
a bridge on the Bayou Teche, had the contents of a gun lodged
in his body. Although he did not immediately die, it is feared
that he is mortally wounded. On examining his wounds some
square pieces of iron were extracted from his, side, which led to
the suspicion of the deed being done by a. inilatto blacksmith,
in whose forge were found many similar pieces. He denied the
crime; but asserted that the gun had been charged by a negress.
'We have not beard the result of the investigation.

Day before yesterday two dead bodies were found opposite
the plantation of Mr. Lusseps—one a white man, who had re-
ceived three wounds of a dagger, one in the heart, one on the
shoulder, and a third on the head;—and the other a negro who
had been bereft of his cranium.
On Sunday a slave belonging to John M. Barb was stabbed
by a white person, who was immediately arrested; and on Sun-
day night a fellow, being pursued by the sixth ward patrole,
shut himself up in a house at the corner of Tehapitoulas and
Gravier-street, and when close set, he pushed open the door,
fired at and wounded two or three of his assailants. He was
arrested.—Bee.
It now appears that Mr. Dresser, who, according to the
Lynch-wit of an American editor, was the Dresser dressed, was
innocent of the alleged offence. It also appears that several
clergymen of Nashville were present at hii mock trial, and that
"no remonstrance was beard from them." They must be faith-
ful and intelligent pastors, if their notions of gospel correspond
with their opinions of law.
Let not one of our readers dare to forget, under pain of being
pronounced a traitor to the King and the editor of the Herald,
that the president, the postmaster-general, magistrates, consta-
bles, judges, and clergymen of the best of all possible republics
are accomplices of the u orshipful Mr. Lynch.
