A Hard Case.
South. W

We have had occasion, from time to tmc to
call attention to the case Of Drayton and Sayrcs,
now lying in Washington city Jail,
Their offence, it will be rceolccted, was an at
tempt to carry Off to free State, and place in
the condition of frcemcn, some seventy slaves
held TO service in TIE District and in the coun-
try adjacent to it. Tho attempt failed, the
whole party was seized and brought back to the
city Nearly all tho slaves were sold to tho
Southern market, whilo Drayton and Sayrcs
were arraignod, tried, condemned to pay fine,
and to remain in prison till its payment. The
act of carrying Off the slaves was simple act,
and the offence therefore was clearly single Of
fence but by a legal tcchnicality they were
charged with as many offences as there were
slaves, viz: scycnty-four; so that the aggregate
ane and cost amounted to near seventeen thous-
and dollars, half of which was to 60 to the own
ers of the slaves, and half to the Orphans Court.
The amount of the fine seemed equivalent to
perpetual imprisonment, as no plan for raising
it appeared practicable. They were poor men,
with no means of support but their own hands,
and their friends were few and without pcounia-
ry ability.
They have now been imprisoned since April
18th, 1913, nearly four years. Had they been
convicted of stealing the slaves, they would pro-
baby ere this have been pardoned. But the
Court refused to regard their act as larceny, be-
cause their intention was, not to appropriate the
slaves to their own use, but to give them liher-
| ty. 1t could not regard such an act, in itself
as criminal or wrong but as slavery existed un.
der the protection Of the laws of the District
the act, being detrimental to its interests, wa,
made legal offence, and the penalty imposed
was fine. Certainly the law never contcm
plated perpetual imprisonment for such an of
fence. For stealing slaves, crime morally a
well as legally it imposed imprisonment for
term of only seven years; unqucstonably
could not propose imprisonment for life, or ever
seven years, for an act not morally but only le
gally an ofence-an offence, too, in cxtcnuatiol
of which, even in a slaveholding community
might be alleged benevolent intention. An,
yet, sec how the Law is abused, through tn
technicalitios of Law. One act is made seven
ty-four acts, one offence is construed into sew
cnty- -four offences then the penalties of all ar
aggregated, and heaped upon those poor men
so that, in comparison, it would have been mel
cy itself had they been convicted and sentence
for larceny. Era.

Whereas, it is evident that tho time is not far
distant when those, who arc firm and true to
the cause otliberty, will be called upon to sa-
cricc their reputation, their property, and per-
haps their lives; and, whereas, at the approach
of such crisis, tho friends of liberty should
speak out boldly and uncompromisngly, and
show forth to the world their real position /;
therefore, We the inhabitants Of Jay County, In

Of the Libcra0r, "Our Country is thc Wnrld,

.. That any Government, that does not
acknowledge the natural aud inniicnahe
rights of man, aud is found 10y its legislative
enacniruts, defending the institution of
ClHtel slavery is not worthy the patronage
OF any civilized proplc, and cannot he volnn-

SOUTHERN VIEws.-The South Carolinnn
speaks thus of the Kossuth movement
The people of tho South cannot be par
ticipants in this missionary Rcpublicansm.
Their pursuits forbid it, their Institutions,
safe only under the rule Of conservative tor-
eign policy, forbid Il; and i toiH be an eudday
,rhcn The contdgion Of This Oildfrc takes effect
among them. The present is but another de-
velopemcnt of the utter dissmmlarity exis-
ting between the ever restless spirit of ram
part democracy prevailing at the North, and
that Conservative RcpuhlcNnisn of the
South, which is the citadel Of her institutions
and the guarantee of her prosperity. 1t is
another incidental proof OF the propriety ol
political separation of Two sections, whose
people are, in almost every leading feature
of true and sound republican principles, so
utterly opposed to each olher.'
