think that such a construction can be put upon
it but by the grossest prejudice. Our mean
ing. expressed in other terms, was this-Ihe

mostly between the parties into which the
American people is divided popular ex-
element is more easily produced than reprcss-
ed if 1t should once burst into a fame OF civil
discord, the consequences would be most disas-
trous to our country-to that country, which
however they may differ concerning the best
means of promoting its w%elfare) is equally
dear to both parties.-This we solcmnly de-
clare was our ~meaning-wc intended to warn
the circulstors of ths petition against that
very conduct, of which the " Republican pc
titioner' would fain convict US.
One word concerning Fres's case, and We
will conclude. The I" republican petitioner
is either grossly ignorant, or guilty Of a de-
hberate falsehood, when he says that John
Fries was condemn ned TO be hanged, by a fe-
deral judiciary for honestly expressing his o.
plnion. John Fries was convicted by q jury
OF his peers, which when we consider the ex-
tent of the right of challenge, might alnost
be said to have been chosen by himself, Of
having levied war against the United States,
by openly opposing in arm the execution Of
the laws. He was condemned to be hanged,
but was pardoned by that president whose
term of Office has been foolishly and wicked

intolerance and persecution The federal
administration was a reign of terror TO trail
tors-of intolerance to scoundrels and Felons
whose villany was intolerable-of persecution

Immediately after the acts OF hostility
by the Indians, the inhabitants of the from
siers of Humphreys county, thought it ne
cessary fer personal security, that two or
shree families should live together. For
this purpose John Cra~lcy and his u~nfortu-

Rianley. The family of Crawiey consisted
Of wife and four children; Manley's of a
wife and three children. The evening be-
Gore the tragical event, Manlry and Craw-

Craw!ey's eldest son with them. They
