Now these same gentlemen before the people whom
they have thus t.uded with tho fraud fesh ahe
and ask them 10 vote for another champion OF the SCUM "a
the way from New Hampshire. Although ne ID sunoy e

they will be believed!
Here it vii! be seen that the Richmond Wing says ina
no murder committed and that the then acllng Uo'e-
nor did no, give any reasons tended produce nsub
ordination Now from the evidence il appears that young
Jackson had attempted whip Hatchertha he Cacsson
kicked h and that then the prisoner picked up the iron
pokcr and struck Mr. Jackson blow with it, In the jar
via case II will appear thar he not struck at all out
thar upon Samuel s. Loer attempting TO strike him, the
prisoner instantly struck witness oer) on the head with
the stone produced IN court and feed witness 10 the oo
Nor this all The prisoner met Lawrence Lottar on the
steps and far the record goes It does moi say thas
Lawrence said word Jarvis but the prisoner struck HIM
on the head with this stcne GA large stone, nearly
round about four inches in diameter ocs and only failed
falling We now leave i, unbiased minds to say where
the quo amino was strongest, All agree that it was mol
BENJAMIN Jarvis fault that both Samuel S. and Lawrence
Loter not killed.
But tho Richmond Wing says the acting Governor Old
cot give "any reasons &C. Now is the editor of the Wing
Ignorant does it this ignorance that before the
adoption of the present constitution the Governor was not
required give any for pardon What the im
mo,a Tavers would have DONE knowinot; but this we
fat fnyS opBh-
ern rights for the rights Of the master over the slave than
does Gov johnson in his last message.
Blu, the Richmond Wing and the Wings Of Richmond, did
NOT ,cau for the reasons the Governor gave; they oud
not ,eat their indignation hot aud they afraid
|, would COOL Hhey had nurse their wrath keep it
warm"
They held their indignation meeting; they abused and Will
fed aud nsul,ed the Governor and their presses eemed
with indignation than week before the Governor
gave his for the Communication. Nop il is the
sons" the Governor assigns then it his action OH
Nhiggcry, be consistent Such men SHOULD be watched
They should be avoided. "Proeu procul este proani
These who will not publish the evidence in III.
precedents which Gov Johnson followed will find that the
people stocks Stones 10 he led by the by
nj nnsnrnnmnns and yiuen political ,actcians. No.
my beauty-you must try another game this chicken WON'T
fight.
Onc word more and We done for to-day. The Wing,
well the meeting in Chesterfield finds fault with the
Senate for adopting The preamble and resolutions Of the
House. Now the 18th section of The 4h article Of the
constitution declares that, he Governor, Lieut. Governor
&C., offending against the State, by mal-admnisralion,
rupon neglect CT duty, ether high crime misdemea
nor shall be Improbable by the House OF Delegates and be
prosecuted before the Senate which shall have the power
70 try mpeachments.'
Now contend that the Senate had nothing do with
those resolutions unless they articles Of mpeach
from the House Of Delegates So far the Senate is
concerned lock them as jurors who sworn TO
try imparay persons accused Of high crimes But would
the Senate have been impartial jury after they had
pressed oregone concuson7 Moreover this
ter Nj. Deneae friend of the Governor BY way Of argu
ment when these resolutions up before the Senate,
read resolution in effect follows and which he asked the
opponents of the Governor they in earnest
for.
"Resolved That House of Delegates be Informed that
the Senate arc ready Governor Johnson the
House finds the articles Of impeachment against him"
What did the Wings do They man, asked Mr.. D.
DOT offer the resolution, they could not vote for it,
The Wing need not lay the fat,crng JUNCTION its soul
that this sill give the Democratic party the least
noyance We have said from the first that believed The
Governor acted throughout from the beat and pucst
As 10 the nsinua,ion that he to place white
man and negro upon the footing, man. however
blinded by psriizan feelings could Tor single moment be-
eve so gross calumny tasehcod. But the Wing of
Yesterday says "Your Democrat c Governor has laid down
the doctrine that chastse
want without being slain by him. II is
UNFORTUNATE CASUALTY JusTIFIADLE HOMICIDE or at most
INVOLUNTARY MASsLAuGHTER."
Now, Join issue with the Wing and ask it point
1shere Governor Johnson in his frs, message said anything
about the DOCTRINES ard in his second message explanatory
of tho first, he expressly says "he slave Las rights
adverse 10 those Of the master agent" and that
chas,iscment by the master or his ogent," FURNISH.
"a no ExcrsE UNSUITABLE REASON
AScE, CT Az EXHIBITION EMINENT, on THE
SLAVE" The Wing says he characterized the offence
jusfabe homicide Or at most, Involuntary maaslsugh
ter" We deny that Governor Johnson has said any such
thing and ask the Whia in all csndor, point the
sentence in which this offence characterized. On
the contrary Governor johnson said if Hatcher had been
uhe such would have been tie grade Of tho offence;
but that IN this case !: was "nasaughr without intent
10 ki Does not The editor Of The Wing know ,ha, "mau.
slaughter" is offence of higher grade than either
or jus,;6ob ,.b
