LETTER Nv.
WARRINGTON CRY, December III, 1885

To Mas. BENTON
Ever prompt to acknowledge fault as to resent an
injury, now Mrs. Benton, through most sincerely
ask tho forgiveness of your niece, Miss Mcdowell for
the letter that addressed to her In which done
her very great injustice The only apology that can
Offer is that respects Miss Mcdowell have been
me by every tic of gratitude and friendship.
Respectfully yours, ---"
Governor Thomas argues that this last letter of
apology was extortcd from the writer by the pow
er of Colonel Benton. However that may be, we
have reason to believe that the writer if produced
before Court, would testify exactly the tenor of
the first letter with what proof OF the plausblity
OF such testimony remains to be seen, though we
are free to express the opinion that the only
proofs would be the inierences of an extremely
sensitive mind. .
And here we leave the case for the present. h
is unpleasant TO treat of such delicate but
public tribunal has made it an net of necessity,
to the end OF right understanding of the subject.
We expect the Court will decide upon the continu-
ance of the cause tomorrow and what may oc-
cur in the interim, is beyond our capacity ofpro-
phecy.

EXTRACT

From Hon. John P. Hale's last great
speech on Slavery. before the New Hamp-
shire Legislature.
"Sir, if God were tonight tojudge the
people for the sin of slavery, New Hamp.
shire would drink more deeply of the cup
of retribution than South Carolina herself.
Last year New Hampshire was more of
n bar of liberty, stood more in The way Of
freedom than South Carolina. And why2
I will tell you why. When the subject
of slavery is introduced on the floor Of
Congress, member from South Carroll
ma rises and addresses the House. He
goes, of course, in favor of Slavery he
speaks for it ard votes for it---upholds ii
in all its relations-and supports in order
TO sustain it, the gag rule, the Mexican
war and everything else which tends in
its favor. But of what avail is all this ?
He exercises no influence, not particle
except so far as his own individual vote
goes-because he is pleading his own
case. Slavery is his peculiar institution.
He was born under it, reared under it,
and has lived under it. He must support
it-he cannot do otherwise. But next
rises a member from New Hampshire.
Every eye is fixed upon m-every ear
is opened wide 10 hear what he may utter.
Here-this is the feeling-here comes one
from the "Gibraltar OF democracy"-the
mountain home of Liberty-whose winds
breathe Of liberty as they sweep through
the valleys, whose eagles scream of lib
erty as they soar above her towering hills.
What has he to say} The painting breast
of The oppressed lhrob high with hope
that now at least some truth will be told
that shall strike conviction 10 the mind
even of the oppressor-some considera-
tions urged that shall Tighten the CALLING
yoke of bondage. He speaks-and what
is it +? Why, Of liberty in the abstract--
uatil the assertion of liberal doctrines
touches The democratic party when 10! he
turns round, and votes side by side with
The member from South Carolina, just ex-
ac,ly, and just as far, as the STAKEHOLDER
wishes him 10 vote. Do you not see that
this man exerts for more influence IN favor
of Slavery than the olher2 Is it not plain
that his voice is len thousand times more
potent than any voice from the South, 10
perpetuate the accused institution, and
rivet still more tightly the letters on the
thral bowed slave Let any gentleman
denv it, if he can. Would to God i: could
