thereon; two of whom have escaped from
prison by some trcachery. An organization
was effected before the arrival Of the old
man. Much has been said about going to
capture the slnvcs ai night. Il is a hrcc.---
An organization was effected long before
Can you believe, gentlemen, that 100 to $50
men could have congregnted there before
sunrise tie next morning, without previous
arrangement?
On the way of the old mans party, they
! heard horns or bugles. Could this conspira-
cy have been raised because there was dis
guised guide? Elijah Lewis says, that about
tie early dawn of day. Isaac Clnrkson came
to his house from Scareu's. What does he
come for? lie says to Lewis, kdnappers
have come, and want you to go down and
see iusics done. II is fair TO presume that
he told the same thing to Scarlett What
does Scarlet do {; lie is TO proclaim, rs
fast as his horse can bear him, the pracii-
cal intelligence that brings his horde togetl-
er. We see white man loading gun for
u black, without inquiring whether they were
kidnoppers in the legal sense Of the term.
This Scarlet arrives few moments after
the firing and he could feast his eyes with
the fruits OF his own work. lie is nj first
deaf and callous to tie appeals Of the dying
man for water but at last, in view of an aw-
iu responsibility, hc became alarmed at the
consequences of his own act. II occurred
to his mind that he might be called to stern
accountability. A slave being stationed in
the road us spy, on the approach of the
party ne flies to Parker's house, to lure them
on TO their destruction. The house was fill
ed with an armed band of negroes, ready for
the purposes for which they were congrega-
ted. II il was IN their power to backen the
character of Kline, which will revert to by
and 10y, he was nevertheless a MARSHALL with
the full authority of the United States nt thaS
time. As soon as they approach the house,
they are repealed by force. In the mean time
the horn is sounding from another house.
What was it for? II has been said il was for
breakfast. Now to take the evidence, we
must believe that the horns were blown TO
bring men ut work from the fields TO their
morning meal, which is absurd because the
workmen must have been at work while it
was Yet dark. Gun YOU believe horn was
! blown from thnt house, and that all who
went there, went for the purpose of getting
breakfast 1t is folly TO think il for mo-
meut.
Tho organization had to be between Noah
Duley' 5 house, one of the slaves, aud Parker'S
house tos nS they could not tell which
house Mr.. GorssRh would 90 to, they separa-
ted their forces in n manner, 10 enable them
TO go TO either place at moments notice.->
When the defendant approached the bars
there was n shout. Old Mr. Gorsuch at that
time said to his son, that it was worse for
posiponing action. AS soon MS Ilanway was
seen, tie blacks beat their clubs on the floor.
| II was in evidence, thai the negroes did NOT
come up until niter llnnway made his up
pearance at the bars. What docs Cline say
to him? "Good morning, sir, what is your.
name Z" lie replied in an insolent manner,
alt is none Of your business"
Kline, they say, is altogether uncorrobora-
ted. Is il not confirmed 10y another witness,
that the defendant said TO Kline, You had
better 20 home, you cant mike arrests hore:"
"1'he blacks have n right 10 defend them
selves" aud Z" don't care for the laws Of The
United Sntcs?" |; is miserable excuse to
say that the defendant is not guilty Of
the offence, because there was no penalty
fixed by the laws. DIR. Penrce said to him,
"Why did you come 2" The DR.. says tho
conversation was decidedly angry on both
sides III show how Kline is corroborated.
lie is corroborated hy the fact, that Kline.
said he would hold these men responsible,
DR.. Pierce and Dickinson GorSuch testified
to that.
II shows that these two men, Lewis and
lianway, We're there ns traitors. Ilc could
not follow lianway, for he was on horseback.
lie sent man TO follow Lewis, who was Ola
foot. llanway rode along the blacks, aud
said something, which Kline could not hear,
aud the blacks gave n shout that he was but
deputy. Who could have told them so
Why, Honwuy; Cor he hud read the warrant.
f These blacks gave yell and marched
, Brave men had TO fly; but there was one who
was brave in contending for his property,
! aud who persisted in the attempt. Icontend
, that there is nothing to show that Kline act
ed MS n coward. lie may have jumped over
, into the cornfeds TO save his life. Ezekiel
Thompson, one of their leaders, said he
would now as leave die us live"
Kline aud Ilanway were together when
they were about TO shoot. lIauway, seeing
his own danger fiom the range the fire would
take, said for Gods sake, don't shoot" and
, they respected his orders.
Elijah Lewis plainly shows thnt these
f blacks were under the domiuion-under the
orders of llanway.
Kline could not, they say, have told the
truth wherever his testimony reflects upon
conduct of llanwny. You recolleet that
when the defendant and Lewis were arrest
ed, Kline went up TO them and called them
, white -livered scOundrels. lie boldly charged
/ them face to face, feeling conscious of the
fact that the defendant told the blacks 10 fire
aud also told them tllnt he was only depu-
iy. And this, too, while in the hands of the
Philistincs. Lewis denied it at once bui
/ llanwny did not deny any OF il.
You are bound to believe that these two
) men, Lewis and llanway, went there for lh,
, purpose of preaching sedition aud treason tC
men with arms in their hands, arrayeI
I against the officers of the law. Is there no
organization there? Was there not pre-
concerted design in the whole neighborhood
