professions the direct lie by their actions in
the premises. Tteir sympathy will, l as.
sure them, be appreciated by the citizens Of
those counties referred 10, and the unequiv-
ocaI manifestation of that sympathy cannot
fail to make lasting impression upon their
hearts.
The gentleman (Mr. Day,) desires to
know of some instances of oulrages 10 which
this people have been subjected. Shall |
tell him of The horrId murder Of David Groom
of Vernon county, man beloved for his
noble nature, and thousand estimabie quail
tiles which endeared him 10 his friends
a man who took no part in politics, but who,
in the seclusion of a private life, hoped TO
pass his days in contentment. Not more
than half a mile from the former place, five
negroes, belonging TO the esthte of Mr..
Lawrence, were driven off. But | could
not begin TO narrate all the outrages which
have been committed by these felons since
December last. Dove not dairy hear &C.
counts from those border counties, OF out
RACES, well authenticated, OF men murder
ed, of negroes driven off, of houses in flames,
of the most ruthless prosecutions? What
evidence do gentlemen want? Must they
see with their own eyes the manged forms
of these murdered men9 Must they be-
hold the homes of their brethren wrapped
in flames, and their ashes blown about by
the wintry blast3 Must they hear the
shrieks OF terrified women and children
driven from their fresijes and the joys Of
their humble dwellings by the remorse'ess
ruffiians? Must they see all these things
before they can give urterance by acts TO
this sympathy with which their generous

Committee on Federal Relations, with all
due Difference 10 The gentlemen composing
that committee, is hleleSs. Il breathes
spirit OF tameness inconsistent with the de-
mands made upon it. In what does it ex-
coed the Executives power conferred by
the constitution? Nothing. 1t is an insult
10 the people asking for help. Alas for our
boosted humanity and our self-louded pa
triotism. When the cries of unprotected
women and children come up 10 you asking
for help-when the cracking of burning
homes resound through your forests, and
the blood Of Your brethren trickles on the
hearthstone, you are full Of sympathy, SO
full, indeed, that you canno, express it by
any act for their relief.
