THE Gospel does what was never effect
ed by any other system. 1t dethrones sin
from the heart--it restores the impress Of
Deiety upon the soul--it reconciles man
with his make--it bears up its possessor
under a weight of affiictions--it converts a
dungeon into sanctuary--makes martry-
dom joyful-transforms death INTO a wea.
risome "Reminiscences the thunders of
Mount Sinai-gives title to heaven, and
life and Immortality are brought TO ligh,
by the Gospel"

~If The editor Of the Democrat ever
conversed with the Speaker of the last
House of Represe natives, and the other
members from this county, he must know
that what we stated in our last, on the sub
ject of the Governors veto of the Peniten-
tiary bill, was substantially true--and being
true, the article which that was intended
tocorrect, was therefore rendered nugalory.
We have neither time nor room to hunt up
the necessary facts or circumstances which
led to this belief at the time, and therefore
recommend him to those who were present
and understood the circumstances of the
case. They are much better authority
than the statements of the Governors
organ.

The reviling, swearing, and threats continued

and prayers of the victim | advanced cooly, but
resoluteiy to The window; and felt that was facing
an enemy on the field of battle. o, the horrors of
that moment! Poor Israel, Ohe hackman) was
kneeling on The pavement pleading for his life. He
was an old man, a true and faithful servant, an hum.
BILE Christian, and had spent his lie in unreqnited
toll; aud now they told him he must die, unless he
would admit that he himself had carried off the
slaves. He begged for his life. Again and again he
protested his innocence; and in the most touching APP.
peals, called on heaven 10 witness The injustice of his
punishment.
He was ordered with q loud voice to take off his
shirt; and with every breath, almost this order was
repeated; and each time accompanied with q violent
lash over his head or face with a cowhIde. Sull he
dared not take of his shirt. Poor man! He knew
100 well his skin would come off next. A. length his
master, standing by, seeing the relentless tyranny,
and high toned fury of The whipper, seemed slightly
moved; and speaking in a moderate tone, said "why,
then don't you take off your shirt" At this he in
stantly obeyed, aud The regular whipping com
menced.
resolved 10 count the blows, knowing that the ex-
ten, of the law, did not exceed the infllclion of thirty
nine lashes, even il the man were actually guilty OF
the crime alleged against him. The whipper said,
he boy must have he'd to him; adding that 1t was i'm.
possible for the slaves TO escape without assistance;
at the sane time declaring with a solemn oath, that
unless Israel would tell the truth and admit carrying
off said negroes, at least the boy Lewis, he would tear
his body 10 pieces and scatter it over the pavement.
Israel begged for mercyi sometimes crying aloud %
be delivered from the torIuring lash; at others, his
power of utterance seemed gone; and stifled sobs,
alone were heard. But enough. The reality mocks
my feeble effort to describe, and my heart recoiIS and
sickens at the recollection.
None but eye witnesses to these deeds of darkness
can realize the depth of cold bloodeG oppression. -
With purpose fixed, gazed in silence on tie spec,a.
Gle before me. My heart was riven, but my cheek
was dry. This was no time for tears. Fifty lnshes
scored the old mans back; and all was darkness-I
saw no more. Ny trembling limbs refused their
weight, and should have sunk to the floor; but rails
ing my hands grasped the iron bars and kept from
falling. This motion drew the attention of some be,
low. and they hastily cried out, "Stop! Stop! Miss
Webster is looking on! Take him out Of sight,
Take him 10 the barn"
The order was obeyed and all was once more quiet.
The lailer Mr., Thomas B. Mcgownl now entered

speaking. Presently a crowd of gentleman came in,

me to open. | preferred them the keys, which they

had been paid him. There could not be a more ag
