A WARNING TO OUR COUNTRY FRIENDS.

There are some themes from the con-
temptation of which we all shrink
crimes for which we have no fit name;
and yet events from time to time force
us to consider the one, and vainly to
attempt to find nomenclature TIT. to
describe the other. OF late we have
been peculiarly afflicted by seeing IN
our exchanges accounts of nameless
horrors per2etrated against the persons
of Young and Innocent white girls by
black men, and these have multiplied
to such an alarming extent that 1t be-
comes the duty OF our people who reside
in the country to keep a careful watch
and ward over the honor and peace of
the female members of their families.
Too much care cannot be exercised
in shis direction, and we trust that Ia
miliarty with this danger-danger too
appalling to be put in any words-will
not deaden the public sense as to It's
| reality.
Our warning is written, and we turn
now TO the remedy. We do not hesi-
! tate to write what we think i'll good,
hold hand. in this one case it is all
fudge and nonsense tor men to talk
| about letting the law take its course
| When any man, white or BLACK, high oil
low, rich or poor, IS found guilty of this
uameless crime, don't wait tor the
committing Justice. the Grand Jury
and the Judge and the trial, but shoot
or hang him like a dog. when tIit
punishment is made short, sharp ant
