lNJURED INNoeENoE.-The Lew
isburg, Pa, Chronicle complains fhat
Lyman Harris, of Duhbarton, N.
IL, has been 'tarred and fealhered
in South Carolina,' for no other off
ence, poor man, than that of carry
ing about with him for his own rea-
ding, certain abolition documents,
and after quoting Sec. 2of Art. 4 of
the constitution of the United States,
wherein like immunitios are guaran-
tied to the citizens of each State,
makes the following spirited, and TO
an abolition community, doubtless
opposite remarks: Urubuy
"Lyman Harris of Dunbarton,
New Hampshire, was lately tarred
and ieathered IN South Carolina, be-
cause in his trunk was found print
ed sermon delivered by Rev. John
s. Parker, of Dunbarton, about four
years since, in which something was
contained censuring slavery.
"This recent occurrence is but one
of the many undoubted and wanton
violations ofthe constitution, and of
the civil Law, which the South year
Iy and almost daily perpetrates a.
gainst Northern men. Large num-
bers of white men, for no crime
whatever, in defiance of the express
provision above quoted, have been
at the South abNed, mohbed, and
their lives threatened if not taken;
and free black citizens Of the same
States have been deprived of their
property, their liberty, and their lives
by Southern violence"
But the Chronicle is mistaken in
supposing these men the innocent vic
Tins ofSouthern cruelty; they are
not punished for naugt, but for sins of
deep and damning dye; for often
ces against humanity itself, such as
are loathly uttered to the air. They
areno victimized because they may
happen to be citizens of Northern
State, but Because they happen to
be heartless and unprincipled scoun-
drels, who steal about the country,
breathing the breath of sedition, stri-
wing to stir up the negro population
10 msurrectlon, to SET servant against
master and master against servant,
and with fendish cruelty coolIy pre-
pairing the way for unheard of slaugh
ter. These men would bring upon
nsan exterminating war, whose hor-
rid cruelties might move to pity even
the d ark denizens OF hell; a strife in
which race will contend against
race with allthe fierce, relentless hos
tility Of servile war. 30' 2fi'"
"The head and front oftheir off
ending hath this extent." But per-
haps the Chronicle regards the de-
struction ofslaveholders and the butch
cry oftheir wives and children as a
thing to be desired-a sort of holo-
caust to human freedom If so, of
course he cannot see criminals in the
men who would incite our slaves to
insurrection. Indeed, there are a
class of people at the North, and we
are half inclined to reckon the Chron
iele as one of thatilk, who seem in
the rage oftheir fanaticism to look
upon Southerners in the same light
in which the English Of the age of
Henry iVwere wont to see the Irish,
and in which the Spaniards ofthe
conquest regarded the bapless In
diaps-each race being esteemed by
their merciless. oppressors as a sort Of
