Lexington union. (Lexington, Miss.) 1838-18??, 1840-02-01

IRE endorsed, and an uncom2romlsing war
are is declared against our government
md institutions, SO long as domestic sla'
very is tolerated. But we will not detaln
our readers from a perusal of the principal
acts of this outrageous and open defiance
Of law and justice; they speak for them
selves and require no comment OF ours 70
fix upon the aboliionists all that has been
laid to their charge.
Between three and four weeks since,
Messrs. Francis j. Parker, and Frederick
Warrance, came to this village in pursuit
of a negro slave, belonging to DR.. forrafI
of 81. Louis, Missouri. The slave whose
real name was proved TO be Jarrett bql
who passed himself off as Henry Belt,has
been in the place for several months, ana
has followed the occupation Of barber
He vas arrested, and taken before just
tlce of the peace, but the proof not being
deemed satisfactory he was discharged.I
Messrs. Parker and Variance, at the in-
sllgaion OF the aboli,onists, were then ar
rested on a charge of kidnapping but were
honorably acquitted. They were also, we
are Informed, brought up for an assault
with intent to kill; but the charge being
too ridiculous TO gain any credence, was
not deemed proper for investigation, and
dismissed by the compliments. 1t is due
to Messrs. Parker and Variance, to state
that their conduct throughout was that o.
gentlemen and honorable men. They
brought letters OF introduction to several
Of oar citizens, and all with whom they
became acquainted can attest their gem
tlemanly and correct department. Being
satisfied of the identity Of the negro, they
determined to wait till positive and salts
factory testimony could he obtained. On
Wednesday, of last week, Mr.. Hutchinson
Of -. Louis, arrived in town, and immedi-
ately recognized the negro as the property
Of DR. Farrar.
lie was forthwith arrested, and taken
before William A. Chalfeld, ESQ. where
an examination was held, which lasted
during Wednesday evening, and nearly all
the following day. The evidence in favor
ot the claimants, was considered entirely
satisfactory, and warrant was granted to
Mr.. Parker, authorizing the removal OF
the negro to Missouri. A rescue was
talked Of and we believe intended by the
aboIiionists; but the efficient conduct Of
officer Smith, prevented any disturbance
The slave was defended by Messrs. J. c.
Newkirk and John Nj. Wilson, the former
of whom resorted 10 the lowest and mos,
contemplate abuse against those who op.
posed him. When 1t is recolected that he
is rank abollionist. it will not appear
strange that he should be characterized b,
a lttIcness of soul, and an entire want o
goatemanly department. Messrs. Fellows
Gardner and Gferr appeared in behalf 0
the claimant.
Ga Thursday evering, after Messrs
Parker and variance had set out with III,
slave, writ Of Uahcas Corpvs was oh
