The reciais In the specification truth all of which
the accused have asseed by their plea suggest consdera
tons indicating degree OF rmnay far than that
Of mere private ressnlhent The gentlemen upon and
maitieated by Radcliffe and DAILY and the
decent amenities OF hospitality were violated In their
capacity and indicnity offered to them If offered
10 both those from whom they and those whom
they were accredited Tie place which the Of
the wrong the capital city Of the State, where 10
served towards respectable visitors withhold such cyi
ties, and assa with contumely and violence unoendng
strangers during their soourn the capital Of
wealth was grave offence INST the peace aud dignity Of
The sole circumstance suggested mitigation that the
accused were intoxicated at the time. 1t is quite apparent
however, that at all under the influence OF drink they
we're affected not 10 the degree which woud render them
nsensloe OF their conduct but only TO that degree which
mreled them break through the restraints which pru
dence imposed in sober moments In fact well law

VIII be observed that the offence which II has been
needfu thus to deal with prompted by that malig
aoe and IN general cowardy brings the bludgeon into
every failing argument, and makes haste to silence
with blows the dissenter whom II is
yenient to destroy than confute This intolerance illus
communities TO hunt down with cruel violence
turing TO maintain opinions not lii harmony with local sen
men Acts OF outrage thus melted when resisted and
queiled have sometimes eliminated in mobs and massa
by the uone the stake when invested with the
sanction OF governmental authority, has been justly
sgnatzed the hateful instrument of desposm but to
allow individuals 10 for cenOus violence those whose
lar prejudice involves perhaps evils and demands
severer denunciaton Wherever d sorders unworthy
American cvilzaon tolerated in any degree by public
opinion or the indifference OF the civil authorities the
munites in which they occur must unhappy suffer their
prosperity and In their good name.
