peces,ity3gerhsps in ,hi. very samb.r OF TIC bar
ndl-of ADDING some most painfnl items.
L. what has been stated 10 s true there hs. been
cross wrong both sides from first 20 last H. a.is
Alleged old Mr.. Bell aud one of his sons upon .us-
r;rion of aidrg the escape Il fugitive .Ay.. w.r.
s. zsd upon the Iniiars shore by from Kentacky
and taken across the river and lodged in jail a. Bran
deuburg without authority OF law, the act was a
haeraut outrage upon their rights aud uPoa the
sovereignty Of Indiana.
The sr,ior;ii.s before whom they were brought at
Rrapd, rbrrr ought instead of demanding excessive
bail ard r,quirirg that IN default OF II they shonh
remain JAIL have discharged them AZ once on III"
ground of their Illegal arrcst And We nave never
understood why If the persons who kidnapped them
from Indiana known. the surrender OF those pr
sons was not demanded irom the Governor of Ken
tGcky by the Governor of lnisna, and We cannot nn
dcstand Why, even II the offenders could not b. n'
tied measures not taken by the Indiana friends
OF the Bells for procuring their discharge upon writ
OF hsbeas corpus. Surely no one had right 70 ss-
sume that either the Governor of Kentucky or a
Court II kentucky would st plain law az open de-
farce.
But, 20 far a. can learn. no legal measures for
obtanirg the release of the Bells adopted They
lay jail several months, and until Horace Bell son
Of of the prisoners, and brother the o,hrl aud
three or iour accomplces, the whole armed 10 the
teeth over from Indiana, in the absence Of the
population Of Brandenburg at neghborng fair, and
orcby rescued them, and bore them across the river
This was gross, palpable and undcnable outrage on
the psIt If Horace Bel and his accompces. |, WAS
We suppose, felony. And here We are at a lose 10
understand why the people Of Brarienbnrg did no,
bring the facts ot the in snch form before the
Governor OF kentucky es to make il his di,y % de-
n!and Horace Bel, alec his accomplishss, If the
latter were known, from the Governor or Indana.
We do not believe that such demand wouh have
been refused by Gov. Willard, and he ought at least
10 have had an opportunity of graniingt. Tue mat
ter however so far we know or beheve was never
brought oficially TO the attention OF Gov. Morehead
a; ALL
The third in the series Of ou'rages is the seizure
I ll.n. N...- -, lha.., A.,..
from city without legal process, and his torcble
abduction across the river into our State. tndoubt-
edy. he conduct Of Horace Bell in opening the Bran
denburg jail for the release Of his father and brother
ard HE subsequent boasncs and the loud exntations
of the presses of the non-sla,eholdng States over
that freebooter exploit and his frequent aud most Of
i,lse declarations reported 10 have been made upon
all occasions that he would like to any Kentuckan
or kcntuckians undertake to arrest him were well
calculated 10 eNasperae the violent and hery of
orr people, yet those who went to NewAlbany and
seized Bell and brought him here Were guilty Of a
crime, which, however il may BE- psllated by crcum
stances, cannot be justified. We think that the
strongest condemnation should be meted out TO them.
There legal mode, as they well knew, of pro-
curing the rendition of Horace Bell and even If there
had not been, they would deserve the severest Gen.
sure, If not something more for their violation Of law
and their outrage upon the territory of Indiana.
Here three outrages that we have named in their
order the first by Kentnckians the second by Inian.
ians and the third by Kentuckians We not at
all surprised at the exceeding evaporation excited in
New.Albany on Saturday, when the abduction ot Hor-
Bell became known, and 1t is wonder that the
feeling was vastly increased when the people OF that
city learned that Bell had been taken ont of the Louis
vile jail Saturday night at midnight and hurried
II TO the Brandenburg jail, to prevent his being
leased here, rs lac would necessarily have been in
few hours, under writ of habeas corpus. Still the
people of Indiana should have controlled their resent
neDt and permitted the law to take its course They
81 oud have called upon their Governor u demand
he s understood TO have declared he would do the I'M
mediate rendition OF Horace Bells abiuctors II is
unfortunate and amentabe that they did not adopt
this course.
Horace Bell a. we have ssd was taken suddenly
from our Jail at midnight and hurried of to Branden
burg lest he should be released from unlawful i'm
pris, nmtn nj 10y the opert ton OF writ OF habeas
corpus. We learn that some Of the people Of New
Albany broke open the arsenal there and armed them
selves to come over and take him from our jail back
10 their State but it is certainly fortunate that
they did not venture upon insane step, Tor what
ever their numbers might have been, few Of them
would have re-crossed the river alive IL is said that
as the people OF New-Albany heard OF Bells
being sent down the river for Brandenburg, strong
force of them chartered steamer aud started either
to overhaul and capture the boat, il he shond be
lodged in the Brandenburg Jail, To land there and
rescue him at all hazards. Moreover we are informed
that bard of from this city, hearing Of the New
Albany expedition, armed themselves with double
barreed guns, md bastened by land toward BrandeD
burg to aid in ,psnTg ns been bee "y s be baoSy work.
but we most earnestly hope and pray that this may
not be the Gaze.
Whatever the result may be, we trust that our
friends on both shores of the Ohio will control their
passions. Their oen good sense if they win give 1t
fair play win counsel moderation. IL blood has been
split, OF if has not let the wretchet business stop
juit where il H. Let the authorities OF Kentucky and
the authorities Of Indiana ntcrpose sud vndicats, 80
far they by legal means the rights OF their
pective States and Of each individual Of those States
In this affair, there has = have said been great
and obvious wrong both sides and this consdera-
ton, what catastrophe may have occurred should
have deep and s.lntary effect upon the minds Of the
paities.
