THE CLOVEN FOOT.

We notice that the true Liberty party" of Caledo
MIA County, at their late Senatorial Convention drop
ped the name of Hon. William Sias, of Danve, from
their Senatorial ticket substituting therefor that
James d. Bell, Esq, of Walden Welcome Bemis
Mr.. Sias' associate, received a denomination. WIZ
was this II we mistake not, the Wings unexpected
y succeeded last year in eecting their Senators in thu
democratic county of Caledonia and we suppose THU
success may be attributed, in no small degree to the
great personal popularity of Mr.. Sias. Since tha
time, by the overwhelming force of reason and con
science Mr.. s. has publicly avowed himself in favo
OF all moral and political means for the delivery of ou
land from the dominion of slavery. For this offence
f any other can be given, shall be glad to know
it, he is publicly osracised by the Wings, and virtual
y declared unfit to represent his county in the State
Senate! We ask again-what has there been in the
course OF Mr. Sias worthy of these bonds? What
principle has he renounced, or what measure repudia
ted, that is deemed of essential Importance? If we
mistake not there are many wings in Caledonia Coun-
ty who will never countenance this attempt to break
down one of their worthies citizens, for merely taking
an advance step against the alarming Entertainments
of slavery.

Penitcnt Confessional negro man was Kill
led by man named Bright, in Currituck coun.
ty, North-Carolina, recently. A coroner's jury
was called on the occasion, and the substance
OF the verdict was, "that an inquest was held on
the body OF black man in Currituck county,
near the Princess-Ann county line, at the resi-.
dence of John Ryland Bright, on the 10Th Of
last month. 1t appeared to the jury that said
negro had come to his death from being shot in
the back at the distance of only few PAGES, and
II was still further shown to the jury by the con-
fession OF said Bright, that he had committed
the act and that he would do it again" The
penalty IN such cases, we believe, is fine Olive
dollars

"That alchol, tbs Intoxicating principle Is

Here Decatur, Mason; and Cilley fell. One
OF the most ferociouS dnels on record was
fought here between Gen. Mason and Nc
Carly. Mason challenged his opponent;
but McCarty on the ground that his sight
was defective, declined fighting. He was
posted as coward. Being a military man,
blood only could wipe OUT the disgrace
Mason's challenge was accepted. Behold
the weapons together they must leap
from the dome of the Capitol, or sit each
on key OF powder, and insert with his own
hand slow match in the bung hole, or fight
with muskets at ten PAGES! Mason protes-
ted that the conditions were savage Nc
Carly PERSISTED in them. The parties met,
and Mason was literally blown to pieces
few weeks ago duel was fought by two
men from North Carolina DR.. johnson,
one of the parties was instantly killed.
The stakes still stand al ten PAGES apart, the
marks made by the feet at the turning of the
body, and the deep stains Of Johnson's blood
are still upon the earth. The ground is
black all around, while the tall rank grass
tells us as eloquently as at Waterloo of the
richness of human blood.
