H. Another strange thing is, that witness
who testified thrice to certain facts in Chris
tinna and Lancaster and Philadelphia, denies
the satne story here, and says that he was
frightened. do not inean to insnuate that
the counsel have tampored with him; but
do believe, upon my conscience that some
artful scoundrel had perverted his conscience
and gave direction to his forked tongue.
Let me speak oftllut ighborhood-now
for the honor Of that peaceful vulley--of the
town of Sirasburg-and, above all, that of
the State of Pennsylvania. Elijah Lewis is
called, according to his own admission, to
nssist wounded man, Dickinson Gorsuch,
who was lying before him, helpless and
bleeding, aud at the mercy of a band of in
fnriated negroes as merciless ms Lewis him
! SELF but he would not go to his assistance.
/ There was one good man there, as there was
one righteous man in Sodon, who did all
| that was possible for him to do. That man
was Mill,r Mott Elijah Lewis turns his
back upon the cries of the wounded and
! bleeding man! lie refuses to succor the dy-
| ing lie comes here with the miserable lie
! IN his mouth, that he was afraid. Can any
man, with one humane pulsalion IN his heart
leave man to die, without offering the
slightest assistance?
This Innn Scarlet, who, instead of posses
sing that name, should have one indicative
of the dabolical blackncss which the evil
! dence proves him to merit after repeated
| appeals for water by the dying man, this
| Scarlet nj last reluctantly goes TO bring him
u drink to moisten his ievered lips. Will
you believe that these kind, good, humane
people, left the old man TO die on the bare
ground? DO you believe in that par excel.
4 lcnce philantropliy, which loves both black
aud white, hut has the stronger love for the
former? Mark the treatment towards the
old man. lie was robbed! aye, plundered,
after the vital spark had fed, and his man-
gled body lay weltcring OH its cold aud CORY
+ bed.
What next? Gorslcl, Joshua mean,
meets Kline in the woods; Kline and he
went TO Christiunn, and were refused u con-
, ycynnce to Penningionvillc. Did llunawny
do anything to arrest the negroes? lie lets
no word, tending TO such thing, escape his
lips. lie turns on his horse, and calmly
gazes on this bloody work. Joshua 'Gorsuch,
wounded, asks the defendant to let him go
behind the horse Did Hanaway treat him
like the good Samaritan? lie turns his
back on two men who were flying for their
lives. Nothing but the interposiiion of a
kind Providence saved their lives. Now, let
us look at the testimony of the worthy
Squire. lie meets Kline at Ilanawny's mill.
What does all this prove What does this
Squire do' Does he tnke Kline along, that
he may take his deposition, and issue war
rants for the murderers ? No. he likewise
forgets to take the affidavit of Elijah Lewis.
Thus hy his own showing, we see this Squire
+. rccreant TO his duty and the trust confined to
him. is this conduct befiltng magistrate?
lie stands before the Court and the public
as a man self.condemned, and totally unfit
to hold such an office.
What of Dr. Kane? lie extracts balls
from the bodies of two negroes. lie knows
them well. lie knew that one man had been
killed, and n second supposed TO be dying,
and he does not inform the authorities of the
fact. Why do the inhabitants of this peace
| fnl valley, as it is called, refuse to do their
: duty, and fail to perform even the common
/ charities of human nature TO suffering bu-
, mainly? These philauthropic fanatics, keep
} the blacks from their masters through sor-
! did motive alone. They get their labor
Q cheaper than any other class of men, and
c this is the secret of their love and sympathy
/ for the blacks.
Now let me speak of that precious inquest.
lie read the finding of the inquest. What
;, was the oath taken by the jurors Of that i'll
Z quest7 1t was diligently 10 inquire and q
u true presentment make of the causes, &c, o
u the death of Edw. Gorsuch, and they weIC
q bound to examine witnesses TO that eilec
. under the snnctity of nn oath, Kline wa;
u there. They did not examine him. They
G really did not examine any witnesses. Mr.
al. Il.nN
J.. did not examine Kline, because they would
u not believe him on his oath. Is not that u
nlonstrous doctrine? IL was not becausc
: they said Kline's tales of the fight were va
d rious; il was because he boldly charged Eli
If inh Lewis aud Castner Hanaway with being
g participants in the fight. One of the jurors
i was the son-n.law of Elijah Lewis. Kline
J. stood as much approved representative ol
g the majesty Of his country, MS Gen. Winfield
;, Scott at The head of an army.
J. In the finding of the Inquest, the charac-
IS ter of the deceased, Edward Gorsuch, is as
h persed. They have siigmatized his charae'

II Ills slaves were there his property was

e tenance OF the brave OLD nlan when he sa"
d his country's laws trampled upon by band
e of negroes, assisted by their white conede'
d rates. He WINS there under the fling ot hi'
