GK.vrLk.MK.M-Tb« letter o* your com*

upon it of the 16th inst., aeem in common

pondent dom imI itt in saying that I deaire

election of their candidate, and that 1 am
ready to contribute any honorable effort to
bring it about. This m not tb« result of
any preference iu to men, but in apite of it.
With Colonel Fremont 1 am unacquainted.
] bare never aeeu bim, nor bad any com
munication with him, direct or indirect,
verlul or written. On the other hand, my
feelings of Iriendahip and admiration for
Mr. Buchanan, aa a man, are of >>o ordina
ry character, and are airengtbened by ymra
of friendly intimacy and reciprocal acta of
kindneoN, uninterrupted to tliia time by a
■ingle misunderstanding or unpleusunt feel
ing ; and I would at any time defend him
promptly and indignantly against personal
attack* upon hia reputation. I believe him
t» be a man of diatinguiahed ability, of hiith
integrity and valuable experience. He ia
Surrounded, too, in Pennaylvania. by many
political frieada, whom )>ereonally I lute
and esteem, and to whom I am united by
tiea of long.cheriabed political a id aocial in
timacy, and the low of whoso friendship I
aboukd regard aa a great calamity. For
more tlian a quarter of a century I have
steadily labored with the Democratic party,
and never doubted that 1 ahould do «o dur
ing my life. For years 1 hare exerted my
•ell to bring about Mr. Ituchanan'a nomina
tion. In IMH and 1.S52 1 waa <>ne of thosr
who carried for him the delegate* of oue
diatnet, and wan hia sealous and ardent »u im
porter. On each occasion I wo* in the Na
tional Convention aa one of hi* delegates.
These liea are exceedingly atrong and hard
to aever, especially with one who is natural
ly of a conservative cast, and alow to change
old habit* of thought and action ;'*nd 1
have rewi'ted for montha the convictions that
were urging me to my present declaration.
1 have diligently aought reasons and argu
ments to save myself the pain of breaking
up old a»ociatioua and alienating myntll
from my old frienda, but all in vain. My
love of country and hatred of oppression
would not allow my feeling* and inclina
tion either to delude my judgment or atill
my conscience, and I aiu compelled to fork-it
my self rv»|«vt by committing what 1 Ixs
liote to -be |<ulpaKly wrong, or ela>» en foil
myaelf in opposition to the Democratic
I w no reasonable hope of justice and
■ytupnthy for the people of Kaiuua in the
■um«w of the IVmocrucy. In iu rank*,
a ul with the power to control iu action,
urt> found the Border Ku thai is of Mbaoari
and their accomplice* of the Siuth, who
have trampled upon the Constitution and
all the c**ential principle* of our (juv,rn
im-nt, und robbed Kanaaa of it* civil liberty
and rig t of auffrage, laid wa«te it* tern
t 'iv with tire and afford, and repudiated
e -n civilii.tion it*e|f.
In iu platform I find the enunciation of
principiw which would put the rope uliout
the ncck* of men for oxereising the consti
tutional right of petitioning Co»»gr«*» for a
State (•overniuent, or a mlre*s of grievan
ce* far wuno than those which led to the
war of the Kevrlution, and a declaration

tho ni'Mkrato and justifiable ■elf-<Wenoo of
men *1 iincfttily and ii.faiuou*ly opprewd
by mlfi in violence und outrage, beyoud all
human eudurunce.
1 hnd tho wliole j»nrtv of the nation ft<
*90>bled in National Convention, with out
o ie individual diasent, expreaeinff iU "un
q talificd admiration" of an .Vdminiatration
w'tich haa lent itself a* the tool and accom
plice of all the wrong* inflicted upon Kan
* ■», and by ita Tonality and imbecility
brought the couutry to an int<- tine war.
I find all ita Representatives in Congrea*,
with tlirw individual exception*, lairing
in earm-st zeal, by apeeeh and vote, to cover
up th<* iniquities of this Administration and
fie llonler llulfian* of Missouri, and to *u|»
press a fair investigation of outragi* which
•hock both humanity and republicanism,
and defy the Conatitution and th.) law*.
I find thi*' name representative*. after the
truth wa- elicited in spite ol their efforu,
•till refilling to relieve the people from a
code of lawa impoacd upoQ them bv a for
eign ar i>y, and atill refusing to admit them
into the Union, only for reason* which, in
t ie caia* of nine existing State*, had been
declared untenable and of no account.
I find them diareg-irding a freo Conatitu
tion udopted in a legal, constitutional and
ti iie-sunctioned manner (and which no nun
on doubt to have reflected the will of thf
people), and aupportmg a law to produce a
substitute, which it ia may to allow would
have per|>etu >ted in the State Government
the usurpation wh eh bad by foive already
•eizeil upon the Governm -nt of the Territory.
I find them rwfoaing to mak^ appropria
tion* for the ariuy, unless that army i* to
be used to enfonv a code of law* violative
on their face, of the Constitution, enacted
by a L-gislature, in violation of the laws of
tl'ie United Stat *, and imposed by foreign
force iijstn conquered and subjugated Auieri
can eitu -n*.
I find them, in a word, steadily aiding by
all their Congressional action to make a
•lave State in northern latitude*, and that,
too, aguinat the will of it* inhabitant*.
I find that one mcmt>cr, who more than
any other atood out against the enslavement
of hi* white fellow eitisena, ia refuted a
renomination by the Ib»inocmtic |urty of
hi* diatrict.
I lin«l in the canvaM now going on that
the wliolc tone of their party P""1* '« in the
Min« direction. When the nrnt startling
intelligence of the outnigi* in Kan*as
readied tho States, their editors denounced
the foul wrong in term* of fitting indigna
tion. It was hut a spasmodio effort, how.
ot.t, and in deference to the Smth and the
prevailing acntimcnt of the |urtr, they have
dropped ulT. one after the other, until now,
■o far on I hare b»vn uhle to ascertain, there
ix not a Democratic paper which daree !». »ld
ly to justify and defend the Free State party,
and denounce their invader*. In place of
encouragement and syiufiuthy fur tlnjir out
rag *1 fellow eitUcm from tin* North, there
is little slso than j^rs and ridicule for tlieir1
Opprv*sed and suffering conditiosi—mi«re|u
refutation of their motives and conduct,
»nd a pretended incredulity of the state
mut* and ap|M»ls which tliey stud tlteir
brethren of the State*.
I find tlteir spoakun exhibiting the mme
spirit, mm1 of th< .u ignoring the rjimti'in
entirely: other* of them treating it with
perversions, misrepresentations and (alee in.
bui*; uud other* taking openly the xide of
the o|ipnwm; but no one of tlicra advocu*
ting the cuune of Kanni*, or favoring her
admission under the five State Constitution
adopted by her people.
In the public deiuonstruti >n« and pn>ce*.
Biona of the party, I lind Uuincrs and devi

the appeal* of that f»-oplo lor protection
ogiinst unparallell nl wroii£*. calculated, iu»
Ho doubt they must be intended, to i>re|«r«
tho masse* for a continued rufuaal ot justice
and protection, and a rvlontloss persistence
in outrage iM opj region.
I find *11 the Democrats South, and a
C»rtion of the Democracy of the North,
•Idly repudiating the Kansas-Nebraska bill,
by ii'i*i*ting tliat Slavery ha* a right to go
into the Territoriee, in Bpite of Congrim or
the people ; and that the inhabitant* of the
Territory have no right to pai* Territorial
laws to forbid it or exclude it. l>emocrutic
Representatives from Pennsylvania, even, in
the Senate ami the House, hold and pro-1
claim these opinions; while other Repre
sentatives from Pennsylvania, with Demo
cratic lee den fntn other States, declare
them*elv«« publicly to be non-committal
upon tliis benny ; the inevitable tendency
of which, it is easy to show, will be to pre
vent aim Mt entirety the formation of any
more free States.
Having originated a movement mysslf, to
aid our people by sending them sum and 1
woo*/, and baring prosecuted il with the
•trick** avoidance of party eharectcr, and a
steady neutrality m to the polltiml cunntM;
and having earnestly askrd the co-operation
of men of all partit*, I havn failed to enlist
in it, to my knowledge, a Mingle Democrat.
In the Conventions ofCleveland and Bufla
lo, railed without distinction of party, in .
furtherance of thia enterprise, there was no
Democrat prweent hut myself. This cannot
hare been from any want of generosity or
of means, hut only 1'n deierencc to the pre
vailing tone and sentiment of the furty
which ia enlisted upon the other side of tho
question. And not only hare they ab
stained from aiding the"moremcut, f>ot in
their presses and by ibeir private influence
thejr liave endeuvored to cripple and retard
it by sneering at it, wanting the community
againat it a* treasonable, and declaring that
the money would be ini*tppli«d, thus en
deavoring to prevent c jntributions even from
friends of the measure.
I might go on with thia catalogue, and
enumerate other indication*, if necessary,
•bowing that the prevailing tone of the party
ia boatile to Kin«a« ; but I conaider it ouly
neewwary t*> udd tliat what I hare mid re
lates but to the North. Tb« South, where
the great iiiom of the party ia to be found,
makea no prvtensiun, iw a wliolo, to the ad
v«»cacy of anything but pure Border Ruf
flaniaa.
What, tlien, have the free State men of
Kansas to expect from a Dom<>critic Admin
iatration, even if pruuded over by Mr. Bu
chanan? If he could bo left to act u(ton
hia own impulses, unaffected by external in
fluences, and free from all pi Jge* and obli
gations, exprenteal and itnpli«l, the case
would lie very different. Rut, un'ortunatw
ly, thia ia not ao. Ilia el- ction would right
iully be considered a decision against ua,
whatever may he hia own private feelings.
•Ilm office* at Washington^ iu Kunoas, and
elsewhere, would necessarily, to a large ex
tent. he tilled with our enemies. Ilia in
| formation would come thr -ug'i a distorted
! medium ; and laatly, he could not uid ua
, without having first made up his mind to he
J abandoned and warred upon by his own ;
party. The South would charge him with (
violating his pledges, and turn upon him
with tho bitterent hostility, and at least a
. portion of the Northern Democracy would
follow this example, lie would thus be left
without a jurty to support his Administra
tion, unle«* he should cast himself into the
aruta of the Republicans. We cannot, it
seems to me, either ask or expect hiin to do
thia upon a question where laxrty lines are
so plainly dmwn before hi* election. Like
all other men in the suinc situation, he must
obey the party sentiment on which he is
el. eted. That there are Democrat* in Penn
sylvania who are full of indignation against
the conduct of the S;uth, in regard to Kan-,
■us, I am well aware, and that they would
use their influence to redress her wrongs, I
am well KitUtied , but they arc too f w in
proportion to the whole party of the Union
to sustain his AduiinUtntiion in a war with
his [arty. Thev have as yet Item unable
{to make their opinions appearand lie felt in
the party, and, of course, cannot do so ,
hereafter". I honor their g^sl intentions, j
I but I cannot tielieve in their power.
I repent that I have been forced to these
r conclusions after no slight struggle with iny
filings and inclinations. S'tould Mr. Ru
cha an be elccted.nnd his Administration b«
, different from what inv judgment compels
•; me to believe, 1 shall give it my cordial ap
' probation, and my feeble though willing
i »uj>port. As I believe now, I must record
the Democratic party as fully oommittod to
r S luthern sectionalism, toward which, for
I some time past, it has hc»n npidly tending,
I and I quit it, well assured that tuy duty to
my country demands at my hands tliis sacri
•, five of personal feeling.
Very truly yours,

I2T I very much deprecate all sectional is

I I be in the futurr, instrumental in fostering
such issues, Hut the Repeal of the Missouri

j us ; thry are issues forced upon u.«, and we
act but in sel/'-Ji fcncc whm ire repel them.—
That section of the country which presents

The Rcccnt Trial.
The report wo have given in another place
of the case of Mr. Augustine Haines, tried
on Monday twforu our Municipal Court is as
1 faithful one as wo could nuke (rum our notes,
aided by our memory of tho incidents a* they
| transpired. Tho account is as accurate, both
as to the language of the defendant and tho
I Court, and of the circumstances of tho trial,
as the most faithful reporter could make.—
j Hie testimony is a literal copy of it taken at
tho tiino.
Assailed ai wo were with the rudotft abuse
and invective by Mr. Haines, our motives
impugned because wo felt it our duty to
Uke official cognizance of an allcdged viola
tion of the law, our course us conductor of a
public pnw spoken of in rudest terms and
at a most improper time, a sense of duty to
ourselves, and a regml for our rights, as
wall as the rights of others, coinpells us to
spread the circumstances ol Mr. Haines' trial
in our columns. The report is our own, an J
wo take upon ourselves tho responsibility of i
its correctness. Wo design to *|>eak now
>ditorially, and plainly too, aliout the mat- j
ter. Acting as a magistrate, wo had no |
prejudice* against Mr. Haines — we had no i
right to havo any. Tho complaint against
him originated iu no personal or party pur i
|ioses. It was not taken without more than
ordinary inquiry into tho facts, ami mt is.
sued until timo had elapsed to take from
tho course pursued uny ground for accusa-;
tion of haste or iudiscroct seal in taking it. i
Wo miglit go further ami say, as we can,
with truth, that we hoped to bo spared the j
necessity of issuing tho warrant, bet wo I
need only to say that in our judgu;»nt, there
was good cause for its being made out, and
acting in our capacity as Recorder of the
Court, a position which we havo hold now
for some months past, wo issued tho war-,
rant, which was sworn to by one who ia \
now, or was at the last election, so we have
been told, a political friend of Mr. Haines. |
When availed with abuse when the hear
ing was had, we refrained from answering j
in kind. We did not allow our»>lvce to be
provoked into recrimination by insolont re- j
mark, and indecent exhibition of panuon.—
We tried tho auo impartially, and gave such '
judgment as we believed t!> • ends of justice
demanded. W* have placed the pruoeeflngs I
jo record for twj reasons ; the first of which
«, to protect ourselves from any charge of
fiaving made a decision not warranted by
tho evident.), and to defend ourselves from
miy slanderous imputation affecting oar
integrity as a Magistrate, and the secon I is, '
that the psopis hsm may aee that Border '
RuStaiin 10 not confined to tin hirinriui' 1
who bare lit op tbo fins of civil war in
Kansas, and reddened its toil with the blood
of our fellow-dtiieno there. '
Freed from the trommel* of official re
sponsibility in the matter, we design now
to speak in fitting terms against plantation
manners being introduced, either in our
courts or in our factories or workshops.—j
We bare never doubted there were men here
who wero oounbTparts of the notorious J
Brooks, hut wo do not mean to give such ,
respectability by silently pasting by their
exhibitions of ruffianism, or be deterred by
threats of boing stripped of our property from
giving our opinion of such conduct. We
despise alike threats and threatencrs, and
while strength is given us our pen shall not
fail of oondemning the one, and holding up ,
tho other to the just judgement of the peo
ple.
Charged with a violation of the law, Mr. .
Haines stands upon no higher level than does ,
the most humble man, siuuhuly charged,
whom lie in permitted by tho grace of the (
capital of others to empby. * If tho corpora
tion* here furnish their operatives with tho
hmid they eat, as he tauntingly said in his
humnguo in the Court Room on Monday,1
docs not the corporation of which he is the
Agcht furnish him with the bread ho eats
also? IIegets.it is true, tho lion's slmre, but
yet it is the same hnnd that feeds.
But we denpiso such stuff, addressed to i
men whose bunds are hardened with honest
toil, and who giro a full equivelant, with
out returning in servility, for all they receive
us compensation for labor. And we know
that tho intelligent men who have invested
their money hero do not expect in paying for
manual toil, that they are to huvo uUo tho
control of tho tn ml, religious or political
opinions of those who labor in their mills.
Tho spirit which prompts such taunts, if
curried into practice, would muko slaves of
ihe laboring classes, and every man who has
the leust regard for the dignity of lultor, who
would see it respected and rewarded, and yet
free and independent, should repel 1 till exhi
bitions of it, as blows levelled to the best in
I tetests of the community in which he ro
| side*. In making theso remarks we shall not
lie accused of being unfriendly to corpora
tions Wo were in favor of theui,—la
Iwred to establish thrrn, when tho party with
which Mr. Haines professes to lie acting,
stigmatized them as " creatures without
!>-ouls," and the stockholders and directors of
■ them us " Corporation lords," " Cotton
i lords," "lords of the loom, tfc," We know
very well ths objects which the Legislature,
in grunting them and ho*l^inj» tlicin round
with such restrictions iw would prevent the
natural tendency of capital to oppress labor,
| had in view, and w>* shall now, an ever, doull
I in our power to promote their interests, when
' tho spirit which in infusxl into their man
< agetnent does not conflict with tho rights,
the freedom or the independent, of tho peo
ple. Rather than ikHj Corporations conduc
ted in the spirit which would tend to muko
operatives a craven, servilii class, having no
higlier motive* than to do tho bidding of
those who employ them, in matters which
I have no relation to the business for which
(they are employed, we would wv factories
stopped, workshops deatftod, nnd their ope
' rutires overywhero tike to, that frocst of all
'occupations, the cultivation of tho soil.—
i We speak pointedly when wo say to the
j owners in tho factories, if Agent* in their
employ here, btart and proceed on tho false
lusis of exacting servility, because employ
ment is furnished, (and every one does this
who talks uhout tho consideration of bread,)
the sooner they get rid of such tho better fir
their own interests, nnd for tho peace of tho
! community in which their capital is invested.
No American citizen who has a spark of
manhood about him, or an American hwirt
I lusting in his bosom will bear with paticncc
such tlings as thoso al>out 'bread,'»r srill he
stand such ideas as were expressed by Mr. II.
' in his harangue when ho declared ho should
| call violence to his aid when ho thought it
it necessary, and as much as necessary to
; eject his employees from the mills when ho
j took it into his head to get rid of thein, for
any ml, or fancied, offencc against rub*.
The operative who conn* legally into the
walls of a factory, the law protects from
ruffianism, and it will protect him there.
t Tho crack of tho overseer's whip may yet 1*»
hoard in mournful discord with tho uiusio
J of tho loom and spinning j-;nny, but not un
til such nations as we have b?Mi ooindcmn
ing ur.i more in vogue than they seem to be
at present.

Before Municipal Court of Biddefoid,
ox *)ndat urt. 22,1856.
STATE VS. ADGl^rLSB HAQfES.
This ww a case in which tho defendant,
who is Agent of the bioonia Corporation in
this City, vm charged with haring on Fri
day of last week committed an assault and
battery upon one Benjamin A. Kenison, of
Diddeford, "and with haring heat, wounded
and ill-treated thesaid K -ni*jn, against the
peaeeoftheSlate&c." The complaint which
wasaworn to by Benjamin Kenison.the father
of Benjamin A., wae taken by the Recorder
of the Municipal Court, Louis O. Cowan,
who haii been acting in that capacity, in the
trial of criminal caaes, sin<<e May 27, 1854,
and the papers in tho ease were madd out on
Monday, and handed to Deputy Marshal
E. W. Pare her, the Manila I bjing out of
town, for senrioe.
As this cose has excited somo interest, and
the proceedings before the Court were somo
what uniquo in character, the report which
it is purposed to give of it, will not be devoid
of internet to thoso who lure a fondnea fur
legal proceedings.
The Court won opened at 9 o'clock A. M.t
in the Court Room in Washington Block.
Until nearly eleven, the Recorder, who *m
Acting Magistrate on the occasion, was on-1
gaged in examining and disposing of caw
agiinst several boys who had been caught
by the police in taking apples on the Sib
bath from tho orchard of Tristram Hooper,
on Holli* road, nmr tho railroad crossing.
A small line was itnpoeed on tho boys, which
was paid or remitted, with tho costs, and
tho ioya severally discharged with an id-'
monition to "go and sin no more."
At half post ten or thereabouts, the caso
or Mr. H.tince, who had come in to answer
to tho charge, accompanied by Wm. P. i
Haines, as counsel, was taken up and Mr.j
Augustine Haines was informed fcy tho Ho- |
eordcr that it had boo»uie his duty, in his <
capacity at Recorder ol the Court, to issue ,
a warrant against him for an assuult and
battery. The complaint was rend and the
usual question put to Mr. Haines as what
plea he should put in. Instead or pleading
; in brier to the complaint, Mr. Haines pre
ceded his plea with a kind of set speech, the
suhstanou of which was that tho prosecution
was incited by some persons or person for
; "ulterior objects," foreign to justicu, and
I with a design to make an exhibition of hiiu !
hef.iru a Court, whoso judgement ho could i
not res|*cct, and ho did not propose to en
, tor upon any defence to the charge, in "this
1 Court, but alter stating some ol the circtim-:
'stances which gave rise to the complaint
should put in a plea of not guilty, und tho
Mugistrate might mako up a nvurd of guilty
' and ho would recognize to pros<<cute an ap
| ps-al in the Supreme Court. He would not|
j gratify persons who had ulterior objects in)
' fomenting this prosecution, by going into
any examination of witmaaes here, but he
, would say [turning to tho audience present]
j that thoro wo» a defence to tbo charge and
j it would *> appear in the higher Court.— I
He thru [turning to tlie Reoordor] *aid that
the young man, K<ni*m, who won charg
ed in the complaint with being a«uulti>d,
wiw» in the employ of tho corporation of
which ho had tho thargi>. On Friday about
twelve ho hoard a firo bell ring. On in
quiring he found that tho young tnun, Ken
inon, who w.m out of the room unneceaari- J
ly, when it took place, where he wa« uaual- '
ly employed, was guilty. It wo* a grow
violation of tlio mice, and ho removed tho |
boy with some force from tho mill*. Ilo in-'
tended to uee foro* enough to ejoct him from
tho mill*, and admitted that he itrnck, and
ueud other violence toward* the boy. He
■aid that ho preferred to take the reepon* i
bility of putting tho boy out, rather than to |
t call the watchman. Ho wai Agent of tho
Corporation, und thoro wore hoiuo 800 op
; erative* under him, and un alarm ot fire
j would have caused much trouble. He knew
the object proponed to be obtained by thi«
: prosecution, and what uee would 1m raado
1 of it by some of t 'oee who wore furninhed
with tlioir duly broad by the Corporation*.
; After remurkw of a similar character in which
diaparaging imputa ion> were coat upon a
' portion of the people, and want of confidence
, in the impartiality of tho Court exprcmcd,1
he mid ho would plead not jutlty to tho 1
charge, that thoro need lie no examination
of the witnemee, tin Court might find him
guilty and he would rccogniio to pronecuto
| an uppeal in tho lughor Court.
1 lie Recorder stated tho warrant hail been
iwued after due investigition, and after the
magistrate had Uvn satisfied by moro than
ordinary enquiry, that there was reason for
believing that thoro had boon a grua* rioU
: tion of law, and thut ho hail allowed tbede
j fondant to go on and cast iuiputationa on
i tho motivon of persons when perhaps ho
jtthould have stopped ihcm. lie won nur
| priaod, and ho would take occasion to say,
; that in tho disoh.irgo of his ofG -ial duty lie
knew of no distinctions, sliould grant no
special privileges, that before the majesty
I of the law, tho rich and the poor Wdroequnl,
and that, had he consulted his inclination
rather than his duty, he perhaps should not
have issued tho warrant. lb was charged with
tho responsibility cast upon hiin by the laws
und he would doal out even handed Justice
to the defendant. In reference to his pr p
osition he wished to nitiufy huus -If as to tho
correctness of tho course pmposed, and to
tho extent which it was proper to eoncur in
it, and in <irdcr to give him that opportuni
ty, as it whs near noon he would adjourn
thu Court to 2 1-2 P. M, The deft, then
demanded to give bail for his appearance at
the adjouhiment, and after soma disagree
ment, the K'wonler stated that it was un
necessary as he would giva the officer such
directions as would obviate any unpleaasnt
oontk^uoncca to him, or would take the
word of tha deft, to be present. The deft,
insisting upon his right to give bail, it was
taken in the sum of $5(1, with Win. P.
Haines as surety.
Aimmir.
At 21*2 o'clock the Court opened, and
Mr. Wm. P. Haines came in, and stated
that the deft. would be in to reoeire hi<
sentcnoe, and asked what conclusion the
Court had come to in regard to the proposi.
tion submitted before the adjournment, lie
Mid he appeaml as counsel tor the deft.—
The Court oiid bafore making up its judge
ment, it was proper to bear the witnemee.
That it might turn oat on examination that
no offmot had been committed, or If not
this, its character or the extent of the offmoe
could only be determined by an examination
of the proof. He thought this the proper
oourss and eoutd not, therefore, consent to
so much of the proposition as looked to a
waiver of the examination of the witnesses,
Intimations had beea made of ulterior par
poMi in th« proancuthn of the «•», Mid ha
■hocId thwvforo bear the teatimaay for tk
Gofwmnant, and if tho deft, did not ebooM
to croas examine the witnoasaa, or put in •
defence it wm, At hie option to do eo.
8<>mo enquiry vu audi) m to the necoeti •
ty of the accused being present, white the
testimony wu being taken. Without fully
deciding the point, Mr. Haines, contending
that it wu not neooaury, lie appearing in
hie •trnd, the following witaawe* wero eall
««t: Benjamin A. Kennison, Benjamin Ken
niaun, Susan Konaisoa, and aworn.
JJmjnmin A. Krnniton—I lire in Didda

liainos and the Englishman come in ami
look around—they did not sec me I thought
—they went down tho alley—then went out
and was gono a few minuies. Mr. Haines
came in soon and asked me if I wu* the
young man who tended tho warper*, lie mo
tioned for me to go up in the mule room—I
followed him—ho asked a «ma I hoy there if
1 waa tho boy who rung tho ball—tho boy
said "Yea sir, I see him put his hand on the
bell rope.*' At this Mr. !Iuin<w grabbed me
l>y the throat, anil struck me three or four
times with the flat of his hand—grabbed mo
by the collar of my shirt—«lal me against
tho wall or door—-choked mo again—torn
my -hirt and pushed mo down stair*. I
catched hold of the railing by tho dreaa

Ho kicked me and I got out—went through
tho counting room and stood by the gate u

my shoulder* and went homo. I did not
think when I nut my hand on the b«ll ropo.
Mr. Ilaine* did not tell me to go until after
ho hud chok<*d and kicked me.
Mr. Haines, the deft, not appearing. Uie
Court said that Mr. Kennison the complain
ant would be next railed, and that the deft,
must como in nnd be present, according to
the Statute*,*and until he appeared the hear
ing would l»e wapendwl thereupon Mr.
Win. P. Haines sont a n^ueit for the deft,
to come in. and after soui J time had claps-d
he appeand, nnd in a blustering manner
wanted to know why lie had been sent for
Hie reason was giwo by hi* coun*l—and
stating that he did not choose to bo proMUt,
nnd should not be. while th« testimony wa«
being taken, turned about and left the Court
room. The Court then informed deft*,
counsel that the hearing would suspend
ed until the deft, made his appearance, and
that tho hearing would 1*» postponed to (rive
the dolt, reasonable time to come in without
further trouble or prmww. Thereupon Mr.W.
P. Haines addressed a not« to ths dolt, and
he soon came In, and declaring that he did
not appear, *xcepting in answer totlu sum
mon* of th* note, proceeded to iudulge m
language of ahum and invective of the court,
cxhihlting the marks of passion and rage
Being called to doaiat, he wan told that the
court h«d listens I already to more improper
languago than it aliould. and if thero was
not an immediate stop to it the court would
tuke meaaurw to protect itself from wch
violence. It wou d not alt patiently nnd
hear ita motives impugned, and listen to
personal abuse, and If the deft, did not im
mediately atop tho court would issue a capias
and accure itaelf from such violence. To
thin the deft, made reply : " You dare not
do it, if you do I will Htrip you ot every c-nt
of property you have in the world," with
M)ino other threats of like character. He
however, soon aaid he had mid till he had to

The Usatimony for tho U ircranMOt being
cloned, and tbedeft. iwfuaing to put in any
dabooa, th« judgement of the Court wai
than giren aubataoUaliy aa follow*;
Although than haa bean much in what
haa tranapired in tho proooedinp of
tho defendant, in tho progr&a of ttiia ex
amination, to provoke reply, and per ha pa
aovere condemnation, the Court doea not
propoaeto occupy tiuit in animadverting up
on it. It haa alrmdy rcplied to the imputa
tion mado upon ita motirea, and doaa not Caal
called upon to make even auch renuuka aa
it would bo juatifiod in nuking It ia proper,
bowerer, to aaj, in reply to tho auggcation
of the Defendant, made in tlie morning, that
there wore aevon or eight hundred peraona
under hla charge, that thia (not ahould ad
moniah every one oi the my grmt neoeaaity
there waa tliat the peraon upon whom auch
reaponaibility waa caat ahould he ona who
would liaten with ealmnen to explanation,
when any thing had occurred which required
instigation—to be oool and n t haatlly
indulge in violence. There ia nothing in
the tcetimony offered, and tho court would
aay that the D ifcndant'a refund to put in a
defence cumpela It to receivo it entire, which
can load th« court to any other ooncluaion
but that th« ch-ir^tf U fully proved ; and
Inking tha UMtiinony aa it ha* been given,
it accuu to bo a cm which would juatify
itnd require the Court to go to the full ex
twit of hia power jn giving judgment. The
tvtimony of tlio hoy, aa well ua the adutia
aion of thu deft, ahowa that an oaaiull waa
committed, that K wniaon waa atruck, ami
kicked, and badly h<aten, and other testi
mony ahow.i to wlrnt extent. There ia no
testimony gung to allow that any opportu
nity waa afli/rd -d for explanation, or that
any direction to leave the mill ww given
until uftor n greater part of the violence liad
taken pbca—or that any acrioua trouble
aroee from, ;M uppear* by the evidence, the
inadvertent placing by the hoy of hia handa
on the boll rope cuiiaing it to atriko a lew
timt. If tliere ia any evidence, and it ia
fair to kit, the delt. in hia pie* mya thete
ia, to contradict t'n* witnnmea, or to ehow
extenuating circum«titn<vc, It haa not Uwn
priMluc.il. Tlio tuntiiuonv aa given in would
have juatified a pri*>"*B of more atring -nt
cluinicter. instead of the comparatively mild
one iHaucd. In view of ull the facta the
judgement of the Court ia that the Defend
ant be fined to tlio extent which the law
tllowa to the Court. " Tea dolbri fine to
the ueo of t».e State, and to pay the c ata of
pmeeoution and to atand committal until
the sentence ia complied with."
