The western Democrat. [volume] (Charlotte, N.C.) 1852-1870, 1865-09-12

We hope that the State Convention shortly
to assemble, will take measures, if they have
the power, to abolish the barbarous system Of
public wbipping~ and exhibition in the stocks,
FOR punishment for crime. If they have not
the power, let the Legislature abolish it. These
punlshments are relies of barbarism, and should
be botted out from the statutes of every civil
'zed State, and imprisonment instituted. Let
not North Carolina be behind her more advanced
sister States in civilization. Our attention has
been called to this matter by the recent reports
OF public whppings in different localities, by
public ofheials.-Newbern Times.
We hope the Convention and Legislature will
refuse to do any such thing. Iftbere was more
Whipping at the stocks we should hear of less
stealing and deviltry.

ALABAMA.-Ju Judging from the Governors pro-
clamation, we should think they are having pretty
bad times in Alabama. Gov. Parsons, in a late
proclamation, says:
Grimes of all kind appear to be aarmingly on
the increase. but especially cotton stealing and
horse stealing. Men go in large bands. armed
and disguised. and in the night. Individu als
come home and seek personal redress of in
iurieS, real or fanced-taking the law into their
own hands. Reports to this effect come to me
from all parts of the State.
Fellow citizens all this must be stopped; if we
cannot do it ourselves. or if you viii not aid in
doing so through the civil riklnas of the country,
there is military force at hand that is abundantly
able to do it. have already called on Major
General Wood to send military force to one
county. to arrest bands of men who go armed and
disguised. in order to steal cotton and other pro-
perry. When crime becomes so bold and daring
that the ordinary means insufficient to arrest
it. more vigorous measures will be promptly en-
i"ycd. 70 the lawless men who engage in the
commission of these disorders and crimes. it is
announced that justice will quickly and surely
overtake them
