To everything there is aseascn. and
a time to every purpose under the beay-
en-" and there Is time TO Kin. Ec.
C. III. v. 3. So $50 - -
I. There is a time 10 kill negroes. It
is seldom expedient or profitable for the
STAKEHOLDER 30 kill any of his negroes: hut
there are times when il is expedient. and
a great pecuniary saving to the owner TO
kill one of them. For Instance, when a
negro has attempted to eseape. and is
immediately retaken and brought back.
| have heard of instances where planter
has probably saved the rest of his gang
by killing such one, and hanging him
on tree as spectacle to the rest, that
they might see the horrible consequences
of all unsuccessful attempts to escape
and at the same time revealing to them
the more horrible consequences of suc.
cessful attempt, and an arrival in Canada.
where the people are cannibals, and are
sure to kill and eat all the negroes that 90
there. In such case he may we'll afford
to sacrifice negro worth perhaps thou
sand dollars, for the sake of saving the
rest of his gang. worth probably two or
three hundred thousand dellars.
Again, when q negro has succeeded in
making his escape, and has resided sew
eral years in some hot-bed of Abolition
ism, until by the operation of the fugi-
tive slave law. and the assistance ofour
army and navy, he has been returned TO
bis master; and the expenses paid cut of
the national treasury. | know that some
selfish, Inscriptions masters, who have
no regard for the interest OF convenience
of others, often sell their returned fugi-
tives to more southern planters; but the
truly Christian stakeholder loves his
neighbor as himself. His, too, is an en-
larged benevolence-ite embraces all man
kind. The STAKEHOLDER, ever so Ear South,
is his neighbor-his brother: and it
would be wicked departure from the
path of duty TO send him an article of
merchandise SO damaged and so danger.
Gus as returned fugitive, who has been
prepared for every evil work in nest of
pestilent Abolitionists; and as he fears
God, he cahnot-durst not do it lie feels
that the only conscientious and safe way
is to kill him. There are other proper
times to kill negroes. as when slave
presumes to resist his master; or when
a female refuses to be made prostitute;
and many other suitable times for that
purpose which need not mention now.
But. secondly, there ia time to Kill
Abohtionists. A proper time fol. this
purpose is whenever they 90 South, and
can be identified as Abolitionists, or are
strongly suspected to be so. / am aware
that celebrated Clergyman of FenHes-
see, for whom | entertain the profoundest
veneration, has recommended riding
Them on rail-: but with all due defer
Lence to the wisdom of that learned and
pious minister, must still adhere to my
own opinion, that the better way is 10
kill them; and that no favorable oppor-
tunity for doing thus should be allowed
to pass unimproyed. There was tiEna
when John P. Hale ought to have been
killed--might have beenkilled. and Borld
have been killed, if the people Of. Rich
mond had done their duty. Some of
/ their leading men had their eyes upon
him, and threatened him a little but
they lacked the moral courage TO dis
charge plain and obvious duty: and 20
a favorable time to ssbruise the serpent's
head" was allowed to pass unimproYed.
a proper time also to Kill Abolitionists
is whenever they presume to settle in the
newly organized Territory of Kansas. ]
am happy 10 find my sentiments adopted.
and eloquehtIy avowed BY the Honorable
us. Senator Atchison. Inaspeech re-
Gently delivered in that Territory, he said,
that. if he had his way he sroasd hang
every 4dbolitioaist thai dared 10 shou his
face there. This is truly encouraging,
! though itnnay possibly excite the jealousy
Of Mr.. Foote; but 1 think there win Be
business enough in that line for both OF
them-yea. for many men and my
. prayer is that the number of such may be
greatly increased, and the time will soon
come when an Abofitiouist cannot pass
. into Kansas or Nebraska without en-
: countering host of southern hangmen.
