o. The following issqne of the resolutions |
passed at the late Rum party meeting held at
Dover: MS a.
ssResolved, That we, the free Independent
Party of Kent county, regard moral suasion as
the cornerstone of The Christian Church, and
verify believe the temperance cause never was
nor ever can rest on stronger foundation; and
that we all we'll know that when the temper
ance cause rested on that foundation it was not
opposed, and not half the liquor drank that is
Low
" Smile on, nor venture to unmask
Mans heart,taifd view the hell THAT'S there.
Talk ofmoral suasion to suchmen We wonld
like to know how NAM. qfthem ever ioineda tenn
perance society, when moral suasien was
the means pfdisseminating ,tenperaneea None
were more bitter in opposition to it. Suddenly
every Rumseller and topper has become moral
suasionists. What regard have they for the
church, when, but few years ago, petition
was sent from this same section Of county, and,
we think, by the same men, to abolish chap
laincy. /" You cannot start an enterprise against
the Devil, but the Devil himself will, if he can
become its commander-in-chef "'''#@..'t

the enterprise have not yet been secured, and

a pretty good guess, believe you are all witches
here; hadn't you better try me here and have
done with it," In answer to various other
questions put to him, he said that his name
was George Wilson that he was thirty-one
years of age, and was native OF Pennsylya-
MIA, but latterly belonged to New York. He
also said that his father was free negro, while
his mother was slave He confessed being
a very passionate man, and told an anecdote of
his youth, wherein his master is said to have
told him that his hot temper would ruin him
some day or other and that he had better be
careful lest he should get into some serious
difficulty.
1t would seem rs though there was no end
to his conversation while at the City Island,
for the mouths of the good people here are full
OF the prisoners curious sayings while he 80
journed among them. Among the expressions
Wilson is said to have made use Of when ques-
toned by Mr.. Rofe, are the following: !" don't
want to convict myself, but might as well die
for killing sheep as lamb" Then again
he said, Some men get sorry for committing
crime, and are terribly afraid of the law, but
am not one of that sort; might as well ride
to Heaven in coach and four as in wheel
barrow" In reference to his passionate tenn
per when crossed, he said, when / get mad
| swell up as big as q barrel and nearly burst
with rage"
Sometimes Wilson fatty denies all know
ledge of the crime imputed to him, while at
other times his conversation and manner
amounted almost to o confession Of guilt His
statements were in many cases voluntary. In
fact, he seemed to take a pleasure in arguing
with the villagers upon the shedding Of blood.
At one time he said, /" Most people believe that
q murdered mans blood will not wash out,
now | believe it will"
A commitment being obtained from one of
the county magistrates, it was determined to
take Wilson to White Plains and there lodge
him in Jail. Accordingly, wagon was pro-
cured, and under guard of three men, armed
with revolvers, the prisoner was safely con-
Quoted to prison. On the road he came very
near escaping by untying the ropes with which
he was bound.
