"apologising policy" adopted lV some
leading Democrats, confined mostly,
it is true, to the old heads of the
North, but found IN Identities here,
we have but to refer to the late COM
ments relative to the killing Of the
notorious Laws in FelicMna.
Laws, from all accounts, Is Of that
class of scoundrels who, clothed with
4 little brief authority, rode down, or
attempted to ride down, every SEM
blance of deeency in the State. Laws
fled when the respectable people
would not longer submit to his PIES
ence. After supporting Packard by
testifyiuy in New Orleans that every
white man in Fcliciana was u cut
throat and a murderer, and every
white woman viperous demon in
petticoats, which testimony availed
nothing for Packard, and that was
no fault of the Laws class ; he re-
turns to the country he ruined, and
among the gentlemen and ladies he
vilifcd and slandered, with as much
impudence as couqueror the re-
suit is, Laws is killed by unknown
parties.

of that valuable location testify to the
