Caught a Tartar.

A leading feature in the winter amuse-
ments of the citizens of Boston, has long been
a series of lectures upon the subject of slave
ry. For the approaching winter, unusually
extensive arrangements have been made, and
invitations have been extended to leading
statesmen North and South, whose wives upon
the constitutionality of our peculiar insttu-
ton are we'll known. We presume these anti
slavery people did not calculate upon an &C
ceptance by southern men. But Senator But
Ter, of South Carolina, has given notice that
he will meet these fanatics in heir strong hold
He says in bis reply to their invitation:
GAS you requestt will indicate The &c neral topics
upon which will speak, should ii deliver lecture in
Boston:
First That whilst the States were colonies,
slavery was introduced and allowed without disnc.
ton of section, and that then by the comfy of these
political communities, the rendition Of fu sitive
slaves was more certain than now under the pro.
visions OF the federal constitution.
Second That when federal authority under the
old federation assumed jurisdiction over the subject
and the introduction of slaves prohibited, il
done by the votes of northern and southern men,
bers, without distinction OF section.
lhru, tnat WIEN tue save trade was opened
by the authority OF the present constitution, the
measure sanctioned by votes North and South,
without distinction of section.
Fourth, That this trade from 1890 10 1908, was
carried in northern vessels and by northern slave
merchants, and that they mainly derived the pro-
FITS OF it,
"Fifth, That these slaves were captured by
northern adventarers, mostly by violence or fraudu
lent seduction and were sold TO the southern plau-
ter for fair consideration.
Sixth, That these slaves came to the southern
planter as igorant barbarans aud by his tutelarge
they have been converted into useful and intelligent
laborers.
Seventh, That by the gradual improvement of
their condition they well fed and clothed.
Eighth, That the three and half millions Of
slaves introduced directly indirectly by the North
could not be set free without consequences detri-
mental 10 both sections
'Ninth. That in fair account between the sec.
tons, the North has been gamer by the use of
slave labor
These topics would take up good deal of time,
and Of course would reserve the liberty of amplfy.
ing or of adding others 70 them.

Ex-Gov. Aaron Y. Browns case must be d
desperate one indeed, when it becomes neces
sary, in defending him from charges made by
the editor of a respectable newspaper, and en-
dorsed as above, to be forced to declare that
these charges are "UVohnded," and "made
without one shadow of foundation in truth &c
support them" Desperate casas demand des.
perate remedies, aad this is one of that kind
evidently.
The Union continues:
The TI7H Wing doubtless looked over the Gala
tin speech without being able to find one abusive
line in it; over his Dickson county letter, not one
there, over his Columbia speech, not there.
Doubtless" the True Wing did no such
thing. We have not copy of the Gallatin
or Columbia speech at hand, and will not take
the trouble to look them up. We are very
certain we could End Misrepresentation and
abuse Of the American party enough in them
to fill column. As to the Dickson county
letter, in tue very article to which the Union
is replying, we gave the following extract.
Before that paper attempts to defend its author
from the charge of Misrepresentation" let
it make good the charge therein contained:
1t is certain, too that the oaths administered are
oil Illegal, and that both they who administer them
and they who receive them, make themselves liable
TO indictment under the laws Of the country
"Now, what is all this but conspiracy ooais.st the
freedom # election, and therefore, indctable and
punishable by law"
Here is bold aud unqualified charge against
a large sad respectable party, comprising some
of the purest patriots ard soundest statesmen
IN the land, of having violated the laws of the
country, and made themselves iRdietable aud
punishable by law. The Union and american
may not consider itself abused when thus stig-
lnatised, but there are Others who do, and they
are those too, who will not rest under such
an imputation, though it be made by the High
Priest of democracy. We have fallen upon
strange times, indeed, when the leaders of a
foreign party, appealing to foreign influence
and stimulating and fostering foreign preju-
dices, must be allowed TO misrepresent and
abase the only true American party in the
country with impunity. Upon what strange
meats does this our Ceser feed, that he has
grown so great3

unfounded Statements.

The Union and american complains of the
True Wing for making unfounded allega-
tions," when those allegations were substauti-
ated BY the reiterated assertion of the editor
of the Lebanon Herald, and their correctness
endorsed publicly by eight respectable men,
The Union and american the other day made
the following statement, intended to uDjustly
prejudice the American party in the estimation
of its readers at distance, who have not the
means of knowing better:
The Know Nothings who will come up here on the
second Monday of October, will draw mileage and
per diem pay, regularly as will the members OF the
State Legislature.
We Immediately pronounced this, in sub
stance, an "unfounded statement" aud the
author has never, that we have seen, and we
read his paper daily, vouchsafed a correction,
or even defense. We reiterate now an I'M
qualified denial Of the truthfnlness of the above
paragraph, aud call for the proof or retract-
ion. A beautiful editor to accuse other peo-
pie Of making unfounded statements is he Of
the Union and american, to be sure.

The Washington correspondent Of the New
York Times speaks of sharp correspondence
going on between Gen. Scott and the Secreta-
~ of War-not as to his pay, which it is IN
derstOod the Administration withhold as yet
but
at seems that some months since, General Scott
gave General Hitchcock, who has long been in
innate personal iriend leave of absence for six
months The Secretary of War Immediately wrote
to Gen Scott demanding his reasons for this act of
voritism TO General Hitchcock, and at the same
time countermanded the Generals order, granting
leave of absence.
General Scot replied that he had granted the
leave of absence because be had the right to do it
and was convinced of its proprety-Ihat he was
not responsible to the Secretary of War for lis
action il such cases, and that he would be obliged
to him if he would hereafter, in any official com
munications hS might havej occasion to address
him, write IN the name of the President Of NE
UIited States-as he was the only official superior
whom he acknowledged. The Generals letter was
quite as sharp as the Secrectarys.
Secretary Davis, in reply, entered into very
elaborate ami detailed exposition of all the alleged
breaches of order and violations of propriety com
u,itted by Gen. Scott during his whole military
reer! His letter ia very long, and filed with the
severest criticism of the Generals conduct"

LYNoH LAw.-This summary way Of dis
pensiug justice seems TO be getting too much
in vogue. Our Smith county correspondent
gives a detailed account of tie hanging Of q
negro for murder in that section; and we find
IN the Memphis Eagle and Enquirer Of the
Goth, an account OF a similar lawless act per.
petrated in La Grange upon a negro boy who
had killed his oyerseer. The provocation was
great in both instances, but sober second
thought condemns the extreme punishment in-
fiicted by mob.

ment-Lynch Law.
Sparta, Tenn. Sept 26th 1855.
DEAR WALKER II was truly sorry to learn
through the columns of the "True Whig," the
other day, that Nr. McGINrY was no more. There
was not man in Tennessee for whom had high
er esteem. Having had the pleasure Of a personal
acquaintance with him for several years, can sin
cerely say that have never had friend with
whom could enjoy more pleasant and profitable
social hour. For the last two or three years in
particular, his readers becoming almost enthu-
sastic in their admiration for him. He was so hon.
est, so consistent, that none who knew him could
but love him." Though his numerous admirers
regret-yet they murnar not-because "it is ap-
pointed to all men once to die"-that he should
thus be stricken down by the cruel archer death, in
the meridian of his usefulness. l trust that his
noble spirit is with the blessed.
We have been in the midst of terrible excite
ment here for the last day or two. Some weeks
since, runaway negro came across poor defense
less woman on the Cumberland mountain, and after
violating her person in the most henous manner,
murdered her. The circumstances were OF such
ali aggravated character, that the citizens OF the
surrounding county determined on his speedy exc.
cution. After he was caught, all the preliminary
arrangements were made to hang him, but mder
council prevailed and he was for the time deliver
ed over to the hands Of the law. At the present
term of the court true bill was found, yet when
HE caea xaa called in conaanuonoa Of tha axo;ta-
ment, it was continued for one term. The multi.
tude became apparently ungovernable. So when
our most excellent Judge, the Hon. j. G. Goodal,
informed of the fact, he ordered the Sheriff to
summon a guard of twelve men to protect the
negro until the next term of tho court But a
large number of the citizens of White county,
about dark, repaired to the Jail, broke open the
doors, after overawing the guard, took the negro
out and carried him to a tree, some two or three
hundred yards off to the execution. Before do
ing which, he was given half hour to pray. At
this juncture Parson King, of this place, and Tim.
Il. Williams, Esq, made short appeals to the crowd
to stay their fell purpose, but to no avail. When
the time expired allowed him, he was swung up,
and remained there until this morning. The coro-
ner think, now has his body holding an inquest
over it. As to the motive which urged the people
to do this deed, it cannot be impugned. 1t pro-
ceeded not from bad heart, for bare recital of
the barbarious and inhuman act which caused them
to do it. would make ones blood run cold. Yet
law abiding people should never 90 into such rash
proceedings without the most mature deliberation,
as there rarely ever occurs justifying them.

what A. '. Brown aid A. tebanon.

The Lebanon Herald reported A. V. Brown
as using very abusive language against the
American party in his celebrated Lebanon
speech-language disreputable to q cross-road
politician even. A. V. Brown pronounced
the report false, and challenged the author
most valorously to seek his own mode and
measure of redress" The editor sought a
very cOmmendable "mode," and obtained q
very satisfactory " measure" of redress, we
thought. He published the certificate of eight
respectable men uDqualifedly substantiating
the accuracy of his report. The Union and
american complains of US for publishing this
report of the Lebanon speech, and calls it a
SPARTAN report" full of "venom and "vul
garism." The speech was a partizan speech,
and contained an abundance of venom and
"vulgarism." So the reporter was not to
blame--it was the fault of his subject
The Union and american publishes two GER
tefcates, signed in all, by seVen persons, the
object, of which is to get the Governor out of
the scrape in which the reporter of the Leba-
non Herald has placed him. The gist of these
was in the future tense-that the speaker was
giving way to his fertile Imagination, and
roaming in the ospective-talking about
what the American party would do at some
future day, if Andrew Johnson should be de-
feated. Even in this view of the case, it is bad
enough in all conscience, and really we can't
see that these certificates mend the matter at
all. To say that a respectable portion of his
fellow-citizens would, at any time, present or
prospective, turn purely political and patri-
otto organization into machine to "rnin men
in their business" and that they might meet
in their secret conclaves 'to ruin the reputa-
ton of virtuous females" as the Herald re-
ported A. V. Brown, is using language insult
ing TO an American citizen, however remotely
his name may be connected with it.

Pulaski, came to his death on Saturday last,
by the accidental discharge of gun in his
own hands. He and several other lads were
out hunting on the bank of the creek near
town. He had the butt of his gun resting on
a rock fence, upon which he was standing,
with the barrel leaning against his shoulder,
when it slipped and the cock fell against the
edge of the fence, which caused the gun to
discharge its contents into bis head, killing
him instantly. The shot entered his chin, aud
went up into his brain. William was sprightly
lad in the 18th year of his age.
