TO the letter, on which the Mlssissipaan com

To The Editors Of The Columbus Democrat
GENTLEMEN - attended meeting Of my
ellow-cilizens on Friday night last called for the
purpose Of adopting some prompt and efficient
measures 10 arrest the murderer of the lamented
Mr. White and to provide az INST like occurren-
cGs. attended that meeting with desire Of
cooperating ruth The cirH authorities to effect
these Objects and was not a little surprised and
mortified when heard the resolutions which
were read, and, by slender majority, finally
adopted. These resolutions are gross SANDER
upon our community, unworthy Of the source from
which they emanated, and absolutely disgrace
to the civilized age in which we live. 1t is my
vocation Messrs. Editors, to hold up vice in its
most revolving characters, and to present virtue
in lis most alurng ieatufes-no man IS more de.
sirous than am of turning the wicked from their
ways. But permit me TO say to the oyer-zealous
gentlemen who controlled that meeting, that this
can never be done by force the scenes Of Yicks-
burg cannot be re-enacted in this law abiding
community. Let me tell these gentlemen that
they cannot organize themselves into tribunal
superior to the ta,es--Iet me tell them that pub
lie opinion will not sustain them in the disorgan-
izing and law-delying course which they have
marked out for themselves, Where he iGtg will

thirds of the community against you. have
made mankind my study, and have learned, that
so soon you as shall attempt to Cypress any class
Of men by Ia,rless force, you will build up around

solutions were offered, they would have been
