Killing a Slave.

At the last term of Jones County Superior
Court, commencing on Wednesday Of last
week, Ira Westbrook, a citizen of that coun-
", was tried for the murder of a slave, by the
name Of Lot, before his Honor Judge Pear
son. The prisoner was defended by James
w. Bryan, Esq.
II appeared in evidence that the negro was
hired to Westbrook, and at the time the af-
fair for which he WAS indicted occurred, that
the negro was insolent and impudent in his
language toward the prisoner; and thereupon
he took down a cowhide to whip him. Lot
then told the prisoner that he would not be
whipped by any such man, and began to move
of. Westbrook then took down his gun, up
on which the negro in an impudent manner
told him to shoot-repeating it three times.
The prisoner then fred upon him, and lodged
the contents of the gun in the calf of his leg.
The negro fell, and soon after crawled back
to the door Of the prisoners house, and told
him, in an impUSent manner, TO shoot the
other barrel Of the gun into his head, which
the prisoner did not do.
Modification ensued from the wounds in
the leg, and he died in consequence on the
third day after he was shot.
The prisoners counsel, we learn, put hi:
defence mainly on the ground that the negro
was III d otdtO VI iOoCiliOh anu I6SlSldUCe u
the prisoner, who for the time being was hi
gunner, and had all the rights and authority o
his actual master. That but for this resist
ance and rebellion, it would be at most but
case Of mansla1ghter.
His Honor Judge Pearson, charged the Ju
ny, that viewing the case as one in which tn,
prisoner had killed the deceased, upon tn,
provocation Of impndence and insolence, i
was in the eye of the law, but a case of man
slaughter. But if The deceased was in an &C
tual state of rebellion, and resistance to III,
prisoner, then he would have a right TO xii
him, and would not be liable criminally 70
the act, but would not be justified in law 70
SO doing. The Judge then explained 10 tn,
Jury what he deemed rebellion, and resist
ance, on the part of a slave toward his mas
ter. The Jury found the prisoner not guilty
We regard this az a very important case
il having called forth, as we believe. the frs
decision upon these principles of law, tho
has been made in the Slate.-N. C. NtteLel

sympathy from the lash of the cruel master I;
and may God grant him long life, that his
name and eloquence may hang like a flaming
sword over the prison house of his enslaved
brethren, flashing terror into the heart of the
tyrant, and lighting up the beacon of hope
in the souls OF millions e~nslaved by the chris
tianity Of republican America.
Sd. Resoiued, That we view the visit and
laboIs Of these devoted friends of the slave
among us, as a practical vindication Of the
command Of Christ to love the Lord our God
with all our hearts, and our neighbor as our
selves; for if we hate our brother whom we
have seen, and say we love God whom we
have not seen, we lie. We desire that our
friends may continue their labors till mission
aries are not supported by the sale of won en-
by Christ's professed disciples, and the wine
Of communion is not bought by the price of
babes torn from frantic mothers, until the
practical heathenism Of this land, called reli-
gion, ceases TO drink the blood of humanity,
and plumber the earnings of the poor with
which 10 furnish bowie knives and bibles,
hymn books and cartridge boxes, tracts and
bayonets, majo generals and missionaries to
convert the Mexicans to religion and democ-
racy.
The resolutions were introduced by our
friend D. w. Richmond, to whom too much
praise cannot be awarded for his active and
untiring efforts to get up a meeting of the
people on this occasion, worthy of the glori-
Gus cause to which he has consecrated his
energies.
Let these resolutions go forth TO the world
as the voice of the multitude assembled at
Munson on the 23d Of August, 1917, and the
stakeholder, together with his groveling, ser
vile crew of Northern Pirates viii tremble a
its sound.
Yours in haste,

Fair at RaVenna.
Gen. Agent.

The Western A. S. Fair is not yet closed.
The sales at New Lyme did not place in the
Treasury of the Western Society that amount
which the Committee confidently expected
TO, and consequently they adjourned to meet
at Ravenna on Wednesday and Thursday,
the 9Th and 9th of September. There is yet
on hand a large assortment of a~rticles-some
of them very beautiful, and it is hoped that
all who are in attendance at the meeting at
Ravenna, will so far aid the cause as to visit
the Fair Room and make a purchase.
Among the articles on hand are about 800
worth Of quilts, many Of them very beautiful,
pin-cushions and book-marks without num-
Der, dolls of various sizes, French toy china,
socks, hose, aprons, caps, b~onnets, slippers,
shoes, handkerchiefs, gloves, needle-work of
various kinds, bags, flannel, carpeting, &c.,
&c. 1t is desirable that these should all be
disposed Of, and we hope they will meet a
ready sale on the 9th and 9th.
Quite a number of persons whose contri-
buttons helped to make up the Fair at New
Lyme, and who participated in the sales, did
not fully understand that it (the Fair) was
designed exclusively to aid the Western So
ciety, to place funds in its Treasury, or else
expend them in doing the work which that
Society stands pledged to do. Some sug-
gested the propriety of establishing an anti
slavery circulating library in their ~neighbor-
hood, others wished to aid in sustaining a
school for colored children; and several pro.
positions of a like character were made, all
good in themselves, but not involving labor
which properly belongs to the Society,"
Most Of these, however, became convinced
of the improperly of thus aPprOpriating the
funds.
We have consulted the greater part of the
t Fair Committee, who have authorized us tC
l say, that the proceeds of the Fair at Raven
ma will all be placed in the Treasury of the
Society, and we wish it distinctly under
: stood that no article will be received or ex
posed for sale there for any other purpose.
Q On behalf Of the Committee,

dor the promised booty of church plumber
once so attractive in the eyes Of American
volunteers. This consideration certainly evil
dences a conside cradle knowledge Of human
nature in its proposer, but whether it is just
or expedient to urge such an argument for
the dismemberment of the Mexican govern
ment, we leave for others to say.
The only parts of this stuPendOus plan
which have an anti-slavery tendency, are
those which contemplate the finishing of the
Mexican war, and the annexation of Mexican
States as free territory. So far as we are ca
pable of Judging Of the influence Of the article
in question, it will tend to puff up this nation
with the belief that not only is there a sings
%terious connection between the d~estinies Of
this country and Mexico" but that there
should be a political connection between the
States of the two Republics, a connection TO
be established peaceably if possible, forcibly
if necessary. OF the sixteen reasons of ex-
pediency he urges in favor of the adoption Of
his plan for the peaceable conquest of Mexi-
CO, fourteen will answer equally we'll in favor
of its annexation by force of arms; and we
suspect the article as a whole will be consi-
dered as patriotic as Corwin's speech was de-
clared to be the contrary.
For our part, upon the ground of Justice
and Expediency alone, we would rather labor
in the unpopular effort of striving to get four
teen American States out of the Union, than
to get t~wenty-,hree Mexican States in, and
we think it would require much less effort to
accomplish it, and would effect a far greater
good for humanity. If however, the DR..
thinks otherwise he must labor to establish
his new era of magnificent annexation, with
its sixteen reasons of expediency, free insti-
t%utions, personal security, Mexican mines,
&c. included.

The New York Journal OF Commerce contains
letter from Rio Janeiro, Of 23d oil April, which
gives the following very erroneous account Of
MIR. Wise's position:
at now april 24) appears Ina! Mr.. Wise
has been dismissed by his government, and Col.
Tod substituted in his place. This puts diff.
ferent lace upon the transaction. As II would
have been above all insuferabe for Mr.. Wise
10 continue as resident Minister Of The Uniled
States near The Government oil Brazil, so, he being
removed, there is no dificully in adjusting The
affair, and bringing il 10 peaceful conclusion.
Now, II is not rne (says the Union) that MIR.
Wise has been dismissed BY his government, or
removed. He had requested 10 be recalled before
The last session Of Congress, and, OF course, be-.
fore the unfortunate affair Of Lieut. Davis had
occurred al Rio Janeiro Our government had
not appointed Mr.. Ted TO substitute him, until IL
was supposed that This difficulty with Brazil had
been satisfactorily adj uated. Wehave seen a pri-
vale ie!er from Mr. Wise, in which he expresses
himself, in The most decided manner, satisfied with
the conduct Of the administration, as relates 10 his
return 10 The United States.
We do not profess 10 know anything about The
other paris OF this letter 10 the "New York jour
nal" touching The relations Of Mr.. Lisboa 10 his
own government. Bnl we may venture 10 express
the hope and belief that Mr.. Tod will restore all
The amicable relations which We earnestly desire
10 prevail with Brazil; and we cannot entertain
doubt that they will be reinsla!ed.
The citizens of Washington would deeply re-
arel 10 lose Mr.. Lisboa from their social circle
Should he leave US, ibul we sincerely hope II may
moi be so. he will carry with him The regrets and
The respect of all who have the pleasure OF his &C
