W e !• aia trom an authentic source, that Tiiom
\k .Mdiiuis, the Nan Kuren Senator in Congress,
from this Slate, and w ho so di uncles d\ misrepre
sents the will of majority ot the people of Ohio,
got a severe and wa ll deserved ting-dug, a short
lime .1 -o, in the town ol Kethel, tlx pi.ice of his
residence.
The partualai s .ire I epresented to Us as follow s :
\ liltJe st»n o| Mi. tieorge Ahr.uns, (a higlilv ie
spe. t ilde gentleman ot thiil town,) went into the
ouhiird ol Mr. .11 fie iso n Morris, a s mi ot the Sen

S nat.M, w is severely beaten hv him, w ith a tre
mendous stu k. The ho\ repeiitedlv declared to
Mm is while sufi't i ing under the in(1 i< (i.m of his
blows, that Jetfeisou Mori is had given him permis
sion to t ike tin apple*. This however, did not
shield iIn> luiy from a most cruel beating.
Mr. Mwaiits highly incensed at tin* treatment bis
son bad icceivrd, met the Senator in the street, a
lew d iv s aftei wards, and gavi him a veil severe
flogging with his lists. 'The Seuatoi had three ot
lux trout troth knocked out, (tw o of them artiliri.il,)
and was otherwise considerably nininiril. Mr.
Uirams, however, was not induced to relinquish
hi* pugnacious Imhl, until the sen .tills anil entrea
ties n| Mi*. Morris, win had rushed to the rescue
nl her hudi.ind, now begging lustily for ijoarler*,
had excited his compassion.
Menu a* Morris found the Imld of his assailant
n liuipiislii d, he look to his heels with no inconsid
erable expedition. During hi* retrial, Innvrx
cr, he discovered a srxih • hanging upon a Imrse
rack in Insist of a neighboring store, which he im
mediately seized, and w ith it rushed hack upm Ins
nnurini d aiitagonist. Mr. Minims now retreated
a few steps with a view of picking up a brick-hat
near at hand, which, having succeeded in gelling
turned again upon Morris. U this moment the
latter threw the scythe at the former, which pas
sed close to his head without doing any miurv.
Morris being now deprived of Ins potent w, .ipmi
mice more took to his heel*, and thus saved himself
from further castigation.
So unpopular is Morris with his neighbor*, and
so richly did they think lie deserved the chastise.
meat lie received, that ulinut a hundred of them
gathered together in the evening to celebrate the
event. After serenading Mr. Abrams, and tiring
numerous guns of rejoicing, they quietly retired to
their homes.
Morris has since indirtod Abrams; but we un
derstand that every lawyer in tho county, except
Morris’s son-in-law , has volunteered in Abrams's
defence, li is alleged, that -ho i!d h? be fin d, the

was immediately commenced over the heads of

naturally followed the first discharge, the fatal
accident we have recorded took place.
“ Three or tuilr shuts were tired ; one ol the balls
(tV.nu whose pistol it was not Known) struck Mr.
Ilewes on the temple, one hall of which (as it ap
pears to have been split) penetrated the brain,
which caused his death on the following dav.

not be surprised if Mr. \',iu liaren should be ex

would be almost certain.
In our estimate, wo take it for granted that tin

Maj. V nd. J. Douelson, of abusing the President’s

been addressed and directed, lor tho most part
by Col. Lari and Andrew Jackson, Jr.inv adopted

I have further to add, that all tho statements in

^Douelson and F. P. Illair, F.sq: Editor of the

“ lo hidiall ol the American Anti-Slaven
ety we solicit the candid attention of the p,,
the following declaration of our priucipl
objects. W ere the charges which are l,mm,,
against us, made only hv individuals w ho arc i .
Iluenced solely |>\ unworthy motives, i|,i> :u|i!n
w ould he unnecessary ; hut there are i|„,„..
merit and possess our esteem, who would not o
luutarily do us injustice, and who have been ltd hi
gross misrepresentations, to believe that
pursuing measures at variance not onlv with tl,,
constitutional rights of the South, hut with the
cepts of humanity and religion. To such vu <■!
ter the following explanation and a-mance-.
1st. We hold that Congress has no m.uv ri"lit
to abolish Slavery in the Southern Stati-s, tliaii^iii
the French West India Island-. Of miir-e hc
sire no national legislation on the suit j,., t.
~(l- We hold that Slavery can only he lawfnlK
i abolished by the Legislatures of the several S,.in'
in which it prevails, and that the exercise of any
j other than moral influence to induce such uh„l.'
tiou is unconstitutional.
I Md. We believe that ( engross has the same i i. i.t
to abolish Slavery in the District of CohunCi,
that the State goverments have within their n
spective jurisdictions, and that it is their dun
eliaee so toul a hint from the national escutclii r .
■Ith. W e believe that \meriran Citizens Liu
the right to express and pnhli-h their npinioi.
the ( oiistitmious, Laws, and Institutions ,,f am
and every State and Nation under IJeavcn;
wa- mean never to surrender the liberty of spci
(it the press, or of conscience—blessings we haw
inherited from our lathers, and w hich we iutcial
as laras we are aide, to transmit unimpaired tout
children.
• \\ e li;ive uniformly deprecated ail forcii

hcity . \nd were it in our (lower to address the, .
w e would exhort them to observe a quiet and p. a,,
ful demeanor, and would assure them that im i
surreclionary movement on their part, would e ■
teive from us the slightest aid or countenance.
tub. We would deplore any servile insmierli
both on account of the calamities which would ;r
tend it and on account of the occasion which
might tiirnish of increased severity and oppress;
r th. Wo are charged with sending inccndi.
publications to the south. Itbv the term incm
dun if is meant publications containing argninir
and facts to prove Slavery to he a moral and po
litical evil, and that duty and policy require its ini
mediate abolition, the charge is true. Hut if t! ■
term is used to imply publications encouraging '•
surrection, and designed to excite the Slaves
break their fetters, the charge is utterly and i"
quivocally lalse. W e beg our fellow citizens'
notice, tint this charge is made without proof, a
In many who confess that they have new "
our publications, and that those who make it,
to the public no evidence from our writings n.
support ofit.
1 ’* ” e are Aroused of sending our publicati*
to the Slaves, and it is asserted that their tnuit
: ls 10 excite insurrections. Iloth the charges a*
false. I liesc publications are not intended tor tin
Slaves and worn they able to read them they
would luid in tlicm no encouragement to insiirro
tion.
'hli. W o are accused of employing Agents in the
. ave States to distribute our publications. "
liave never had one such Agent. We have senti"
packages of our papers to anv person in tin'"'
Mates for distribution, except to live respect,-i!"' I
resident citizens, at their mvn request. But*
have sent, by mail, single papers addressed to pu
lie otbeers, editors of newspapers, clergymen, "
otlteis. It, therelore, our object is to excite lh''
.Mayes to insurrection, the Masters are ear VtM
1 Mli. \V believe Slavery to lie sinful, injut"" ■
to tins and to every other country in vvhieli it r
v.itls ; mo believe immediate emancipation ml'
the duty of every slaveholder, and that the in nr
diate abolition of Slavery, bv those who have the
nght to abolish it, Mould he safe and wise. Tim

lltli. We believe that the education of the p«,r
is required by duty, and by a regard for the im
manency of onr republican institutions. Tim
are thousands and tens of thousands of onr
citizens, even in the freo States, sunk in abject pm
j erty, and who, on account of their comple'lm
