SIR How this world is given to lying" is
exempliicd in high life as well as in low-in
the chambers of the great as well as in the
novels of the degraded class.
In the pending debate in the United States
House Of Representatives Mr.. Chalmers, of
Mississippi, is reported as saying, in response
to Mr. Garfield's statement, "that the South
ern Democrats of 1861 threatened to shoot the
Union to death. be declared that they had
made no such threat The South had claimed
the right of peaceful secession and had at
tempted peacefully to secede. The South had
not only made no threats to shoot the Union
to death, but it had said what Abraham had
said TO Lot-"Let there be. no strife between
u.s."
1t would be easy To meet this allegation by
many proofs from eXtraneous sources, but one
from Mr.. Chalmers own State may be deemed
by him as more conclusive. The following are
extracts from speech of United States Sena-
tor A. q. Brown, of Mississippi, delivered to
his C nstituents at Hazelhurst in that State,
in the month of September, 1858, as published
at that time in one of our most pro-slavery
Northern papers:
81 would make a refusal to oacquire territory
becahse it was to BIO slave State, cause for
disunion."
"When the power of the Union is turned
against slavery, when its arm is raised to strike
down the South. i know not where other men
will stand, but for myself will stand, where
have always stood, on the side Of slavery and

POLITICAL MURDERS IN NORTH CARO-

In the debate on Tuesday Mr.. STEELE, Of
North Carolina, interrupted Mr. Frye, of
Maine, and asked him whether he charged
that any political murders had been COM
mitted in North Carolina. Mr.. FRYE could
not recollect, We will refresh his memory
and that of Mr.. STEELE. The latter gen.
deman before lie makes q noodle of himself
again on the floor of the House, would do
well to read that volume of the House re-
port on affairs in the Insurrectonary
States" second session, Forty-second Con-
grcss, relative to North Carolina. That
volume shows that number of negro
churches and school-houses were burned ;
leave their homes under penalty of
death; that hundreds of others were un-
mercifully whipped that numbers were
shot and wounded, and numbers of others
killed outright He will find that the
masked savages who elected him to q seat
in Congress did not conine their numbering
and whipping to men alone but that old
women and young children were whipped
and shot; that an old blind man, who was
soldier of the war of 1912, and a native of
the State was beaten because he was Re-
publican, and that all this was done by
masked rufians, If he will extend his
reading little further and examine the
records of the United States courts for the
district of North Carolina he will find that
quite number of the ruffians who conf
mitted these crimes were sent to the peni-
tertiary, and that stopped them.
Unfortunately the Republican State of
North Carolina had by these outrnges been
placed under Democratic rule, and swindling
after the election has been substituted for
murder and intimidation before it, rs being
just as effective and not so dangerous way
to retain the power thus gained. As Mr..
FRYE said, we do not want to write book,
or we could give Mr.. STEELE a list of out
mges committed in his State. Mr.. FRYE
cannot be blamed for not remembering
where all the political murders in the South
have been committed No man could do
that and retain his senses. The mere recital
of them would sicken any brave, honest
man. 1t was not fear of the Republicans
of North Carolina that restrained the mur-
derers of that State, but the punishment of
some Of their compeers in crime, and the
fact that ballot-box stuffing and false count
ing were easier and safer.
