w ihc last Lynchburg virgiaian gives an
account OF the arrest Of an abolitionis at Licking
ton Va. ON The 22d inst. This gentleman n
T. Otis, Esq. distinguished lawyer Of Portland
Name, ) had beon on visit to the Virginia
Springs. aad on his return, began to discourse ra.
Tier too freely upon the beauties Of the abolition
system, 10 suit the tastes of those of his fellow
passengers who hailed from the south of Mason
and Dixon,s line, By stating, in alluson TO the re-.
wards offered for Tappan, that the people of the
South were " ell ,cind''-that if Tappsn were
to come 10 the south the people would pull of
their hats TO him instead of arrcstinp bim-and
asking why they did not arrest him, ifthey were
so eager TO seize the abolitionists, as he was
leading member of the society, attended their
meetings, made abolition speeches, &c and was
ready to suffer martyrdom in the cause. These
facts becoming known, the citizens of Licking.
ington thought it advisable to teach him what
Kind OF wind the southerners were made Of. Sc.
veral magistrates were applied TO to issue awar.
raat for his arrest, which they refused to do on
the ground that there was no specific charge on
which he could be aPprehended but, on being
assured, that if a warrant was not issued, Judge
Lynch would be called upon to try his CASE
warrant vas at length obtained. Previous 10
obtaining the warrant, Mr.. Otis had gone TO pay
visit 10 the Bridge, and when he returned to
Lexington the carriage in which he tool, passage,
was immediately surrounded by tue excited c
zens. Here was dilemma which the gentle.
man who short time before vas so willing TO
become martyr, had not anticipated the 'tcind
had taken an unexpected turn, and bid fair to be.
come rather more substantial than he had repre-.
sented-and he, in order TO calm the storm which
he had raised, was obliged to disavow his aboli.
ton doctrines, and acknowledge that he was
convinced of their actcability- that the
slaves were in better condition than the white
laboring classes at the north, and, TO deny the
right of the non slave holding states TO interfere
with the south in reference 10 her slaves. Ia
short, he was compelled TO unsay all thai he had
previously said on the subject, and 10 protes, his
innocence Of any evil designs in coming south,
which protes;ations were corroborated by an ex-
animation OF his trunk, and he was permittcdto
proceed on his way. 1t is to be hoped that
the treatment which he received may have q
saluiary effect, and teach him and all others
who hold similar opinions, that the ',cind' Of the
soHih will blow little too bard gale for their
comfort, whenever they attempt 10 preach their
doctrines, or permit themselves TO be known, on
the sunny side OF the Potomac

MA. kENDALL's LETTER.--An interesting and

to be correct, and will find commentator win

Southern States, when they entered the Fede.

upon their right, all, or most OF them, have en-.
acted specific laws upon the subject making all
attempts 10 excite heir slave population to reyo,,
aud Instruction, apenal offence, punishable with
death or imprisonment. That they had clear
aud uudoubted constitutional right to enact sucb
laws, has never yet been questioned, even by the
aboiitionis;s themselves. This being the case
the question at once arises has any man or Sc, Of
men, tegoi right to use the public mail for the
distribution Of publications, which il done By a,
individual, would subject him to the scverest PC.
