/" Murder Without.


The whole range of English literature hardly fur
nish parallel to the solemn and truthful impressyeness
of the following, which formed portion of the con-
GLIDING remarks of Hon. Daniel Webster, in the cele-
brated trial in 1885, Salem, of the Kndpps for the
murder of Joseph White.
''True it is, generally speaking, that ''murder will
out" True it is, that Providence hath ordained,
and doth so govern things that those who break the
great law of Heaven, by shedding mans blood, sell
dom succeed in avoiding discovery Especially, in
a case exciting much attention as this, discovery
must come and will come, sooner or later A thou
sand eyes turn at once 10 explore every man, every
thing, every circumstance connected with the time
and place; thousand ears catch every whisper, a
thousand excited minds intensely dwell on the scene,
shedding all their light land ready to kinde the slight
est circumstance into blaze of discovery.
Meantime, the guilty soul cannot keep its own
secret. 1t is false to ITSELF rather it fees an ir-
resstibe impulse of conscience to be true ITSELF
1t abors under its guilty possession, and knows not
what TO do with it. The human heart was not made
for the residence of such an inhabiant. 1t finds it
self preyed on by torment, which il dares not ac-
knowledge to God or man.
A vulture is devouring it, and it can ask no as
sisance, or sympathy, either frsm heaven earth.
The secret which the murderer possesses soon
to possess him; and like the evil spirit, of which we
read, it overcomes him, and leads him whitherso-
ever it WILL He feels it beating at his heart rising
to his throat, and demanding disclosure. He thinks
the whole aOorld sees Ein his face, reads it in his
es,and almost hears It's workings in very silence
of his thoughts. 1t has become his master.
ltbetrays his discretion, it breaks down his cour-
age, it conquers his prudence. When suspicious
from without begin to embarass him, and the net Of
circumstances to entangle him. the fatal secret sug
giles, with still greater violence to burst forth. Il

Little did the fathers OF the revolution dream that
there would be Courier in Boston in 1885, that would
stigmatze the love of liberty "disgracefu proceed
ing and that would apply American freeman the
epithet Of etch, because he periIled his life in gem
erous attemptto make men free.
The c urier, Mr. Courier, we shout not have eni1y-
ed the liberty we do to-day, if you and such kindred
spirits could have safely put halter round the necks Of
the men whose 'disgraceul acts of rebellon'' have
siorlhed our country's name and revoutionized the
tendency of the whole human race.

The Fnaitire Slave Rill.

The Boston Daily Advertiser, true to its sympathies
with the lords of the lash, is endeavorng to make
this bill Of denominations somewhat palatable to the
people of this commonwealth. s'It does not know
it says, "whether the bill will pass the house in the
shape it comes from the senate" but expresses its
opinion that that it sis an incumbent duty on Congress
to pass law this subject for giving efficiency
to the provision the constitution which has been rend
cred nugatory, of the states, by local egsla
tion.''
We wonder why the respectable Daily does not draft
bill to suit itself, and send il on to Washington
George Ashmun who, he is willing to vote for the
Ten mion swinde to Texas, will need but little urging
to vote in favor of making the old Bay State hunting
ground for the negro-catchers of the South.
The Advertiser is evidently displeased with the ex-
listing statute passed in 1913, making oense for
any Sherif, Deputy Sheriff, Coroner, Constable Jail
er, other officer of the Commonwealth to arrest or
detan, aid in the arrest or detention or Imprisonment
in any Jail other building belonging this Common
wealth, or to any county, city, town thereof of any
person. for the that he is claimed as fugitive
slaye, punishable by fine not exceeding one thousand
dollars, and Imprisonment more than one year, and
says, @ any purpose be assigned in the enactment
OF the above law, other than that of annung so fal
as regards this Commonwealth, the provision of the
constitution above cited, it is of reconcile ma
ture that we are not able to discover it.''
We suppose that the enactments under which tn,
free citizens of Massachusetts are thrown into the Jail
OF South Carolina of so reconcile nature bu
that the asute editor of the Advertiser can assio
their purpose. o if men would be but half as true
freedom as they supple to slavery in how much les
humiliating position would the free States of tn
union stand to-day.

w. L. Chaplin.

Chaplin, who Is under arrest in Washington, for
his attempt to all the escape of Toombs and Steph-
ems slaves, is the candidate of the Gerrt Smith alb
oEtionsts for Governor Of this State. His residence
is in Albany.-Roch. Amer
1t is to be hoped that this wretch will be made an
example of by the authorities of Maryland by whom
it is understood he will be delivered up for trial.
man who will deliberately lend himself to such
dsgraceul proceedings deserves the severest penal
ty of the law. Senators Seward and Hale called at
the jail In Washington to sympathiZe with him. but
they were refused admittance. Boston Courier,
So speaks the Boston Courier, not the ssAlgaiae
Cowie,' not the Turkish Cord and Sack Journal not the
South Carolina Daily Bowie Knife, but the "Boston
Courier" The Courier Of that city in which, accord
ing to the logic OF Edmund Burke and Lord North
and that quintessence of royal wisdom, George the
Third, 'lent themselves to the disgraceul pro-
ceeding" of throwing shipload of tea into the Bay
at Liverpool wharf; in which city, rebeIious John
Adams, and John Hancock, and Warren and Prescott
and all such wreches despised the legal authority of
father Hutchinson, and the royal prerogative and did
at Concord, Lexington, and Bunkers Hil deliberately
lend themselves to STAY his maesys true and royal sub
ecs In the faithful discharge of their duty of slave
making.
1t is pity that the general mind cannot perceive at
glance the extent of foul treason to all the principles
of true liberty, that is expressed in this bloodLhirsy
malignant sentence Although itpositively affects Gen.
Chaplin only, relative ~ it bitterly reves all the acts
and principles that wrought emancipation from
England. What did our fathers profess to fight for?-
Liberty And will any deny that the principle
which impeled the slaves Of Toombs and Stephens to
flee from bondage not IDENTICAL and equally sacred!
What Lafayette, Kosciusco, Pulaski and all those
Europeans who fought in our ranksl Sympathizers!-
And will any dare say that Chaplns sympathies
with the oppressed were not pure and disnteresed
as theirs? According the Boston Courier however,
the attempt to become free is "disgraceful proceed
ing'', and the wretch who deliberately lends himself to
such deserves to be made example Of; Ergo, and
the Boston Courier may escape from the conclusion If it
can, Of independence was "disgraceful pro-
ceedng''; and KOscisk and Lafayette, who deliber-
aely lent themselves aid il, should have been sub
jected to the tender mercies Of British law.
IL is true that nation struggling to be free
and there glory to be in drawing the sword in
our cause, and w. l.. Chaplin was aiding two slaves
But true logic does not know any difference in princi-
pie between the acts Of individuals and the acts Of mil
lions. The attempt Of two to win liberty is not so os
tensbly magnificent the attempt of three millions
and half but still the principle that aninaes them is
equally exalted. Liberty is equally holy, whether il
iwells ia the heart Of despsed negro, or CLEANS on
he brow Of a George Washington.

LIVE FOR SOMETHING. Thousands of men
breathe, move, and liye-pass off the stage of life,
and are heard Of no more. Why' They did not a
particle Of good in the world, and none were blessed
by them; none could point TO them as the instrument
of their redemption; not line they wrote, not a word
they spoke, could be recalled and so they persisted;
their light went out in darkness, and they were not
remembered more than the insects of Yesterday.
VIII you thus live and die, o man immortal! Live
for something. DO good, and leave behind YOU a
ofvirtue, that the storm can never des-
troy. Write your name by kindness, love, and mer
cy on the hearts Of the thousands you come in con-
tact with year by year, and you will never be for
gotten No, your nane-your deeds will be as legi-

will give you an instance: A friend of mine was
taken sick, and was attended by physician six
weeks, although bis malady was nothing very seri-
Gus; after his recovery, he asked the doctor for his
bill for attending him. He received in note, the
next day, bill for the modest sum of 81 ZOO! for
medical attendance. Another friend of mine, in
formed me that he called one day upon lawyer, and
merely asked him few questions regarding an af-
fair Of very little moment, and probably occupied
his time for fifteen minutes few days after he was
handed bill for 500, for advice Fifty just such
