( ur readers will recollect the notue we took of the following Handb 11, which made its appear ance in Auguß last, and of which General Glas cock avowedhimself the author. 'len. Harrison’s Whipping Law. Freemen of Georgia! Poor Men and Women! Read this ! American Women ! read th:s, and then letyour husbands, lovers, fathers and brothers know what you thinkof making General Harrison President “Receive on his (jr her back, thirty-nine lashes well laid on, at the public whipping post:' Such is a law approved by General Harrison, (see laws of Indiana Territory, page 343.) W hat now do j'ou suppose was the heinous offence which Goveraoi Harrison thought fit to have thus punished, for which a woman was to be stripped at the public whipping post, and receive thirty nine lashes on her bare bach, loell laid on? — Will you not be amazed to find that this was the offence 1 (See ihe 10th section of the above law. entitled an act concerning servants.) “If any persons shall presume to deal w ith any servant, without such leave or consent, (that is, of the servant’s master or owner,) he or she so offending, shall forfeit and pay to the master or owner of such servant, four times the value of the things so bough:, sold or received, to be recovered with costs, by an action in the case, in any court of common law in this Territory ; and shall also forfeit and pay the further sum ofs3o to any per son who will sue for the same, or receive on his or her hare hack, thirty-nine lashes, well laid on, at the public whipping post, but shall neverlhless be liable to pay the costs of such suit.” Again, this same law, section 13, page 345, directs that when such servant shall be found “ten miles from the tenement of his or her master,” without a pass, “any person may apprehend him or her, and carry him or her before a justice of the peace, to he, by his order, punished with stripes not exceeding thirty-five, at discretion.” A gain, this same law, section 14, page 336’ directs that “if any slave or servant si:allpre sume to come and be upon the plantation, or at the dwelling house of any person whatsoever,’, (whether that person be while or black.) “ with out leave from his or her owner, not being sent upon lawful business, it shall be lawful for the owner of such plantation or dwelling house, to give or order such slave or servant lea lushes, on his or her bare back.” And again, the 11th section of the same law concerning servants, (page 344) has the follow ing wholesale whipping provision: “ In ail cases of penal laws, where free persons are punishable by fine, servants shall he punish ed by whipping, after the rate of twenty lashes for every eight dollars, so that no servant shall receive more than forty lashes at any one time, unlcs such offender can procure some person to pay the fine.” Perhaps you may astc’who were these servants j who were to be subjected to this merciless code, j and for presuming to deal with whom, free wh te men and women might if unable to be paid in mo ney, be made to pay in lashes, well laid on, at the public whipping post 1 Who were they 1 Why, they were pocr white people, who, by another law of this same Gen. Harrsion, had been found I guilty of any offence, (such as an assault, keep ing a tavern or ferry without license, or any other petty misdemeanor,) and were unable to pay their fines, and the lawyers’, cle r ks, and sheriff’s fees, and were directed to be sold at public auc tion to any person. These were the people who, having no dollars, were to pay in lashes —twenty lushes for eight i dollars ! and these were the people with whom, i if a poor woman should presume to deal for a chicken or a dozen eggs, without the leave of their lort ly masters, she might if unable to pay twen ty dollars, be taken to the public whipping-post, and receive thirty-nine lashes on her bare back, well laid on ! and then be sold to pay the costs. If you are women of any spirit or sense—if you are the daughters of freemen—it you deserve to be mothers of freemen—let it be forthwith known what you will think'of those who shall vote with this bare-back-woman-whipping party —give them your thoughts of the man who could ap prove such a law, and of there who support him, and let it be “WELL LAID ON.” Immediately after its appearance, we addressed a letter to a gentleman of Indianopolis, Indiana* 1 requesting a copy of the Law, and the cirtificate of l he Secretary of Slate, with the great seal of the Slate affixed, and we have received in return the following letter, and the subjoined copy of the : Law: It is not our purpose to notice farther the author of this celebrated handbill, we rather leave him te the visitations of his own conscience. But wha r we more particularly desire, is to call the attention of the people of Georgia to this Law and handbill, and ask them to compare the one with the other, and then determine what a lively regard fur truth he must possess, who has endeavored by such means, to impose upon a confiding people. People of Georgia, read these documents careful ly, watch how the handbill has garbled the law, see what has been left out, and what put in, and 3 - ou will observe the means resorted to, that you might be deceived. Indianapolis, Sept. 21, 1840. Dear Sir : Inclosed y r ou have a copy of the act (duly certified by the Secretary of State) re ferred to in General Glascock’s whipping hand bill, which I find in your paper of the 241 h of Au gust. You cannot fail to observe, upon a comparison of the hand-bill with the act itself, how grossly ig norant, to say the least of it, the writer of that doc ument must have been of the law which seems to have excited within him such a holy horror. The history of this law is this: In 1807 the Territorial Code was first revised. The revision was committed to two of the judges of the higher courts, gentlemen who are yet revered for their many excellent qualities. By them it was intro duced into the L ode, and was copied from the Vir ginia law of that day. This Code, after amend ments, was adopted by the Territorial Legisla.ure, and was approved by Gen. Harrison. Gen Han Don did not recommend the adoption of this law, nor did he on that or any other occa sion interpose the ve;o power to thwart the wish of the people expressed through their represen tatives. lie had the | ower of appointing all offi cers, county and state,yet he never appointed a man to the most inconsiderable office unless the people by election or otherwise had requested it. By reference to the first section of this law (which is left out in the hand-bill referred to) it will be seen that these servants instead of beiire “ poor white men and women” were negroes. In the first settlemenl of the Tcrritoiy a large portion of the settlers were from Kentucky, Virginia, North ana South Carolina,and other slave states.—many of them brought their young slaves with them, as undei the laws of the Territory they were entitled to their services until the negio was 21 years of age. It was soon found, however, that there were practical, if not political, abolitionists in erer3 r settlement, who loved a negro better than a white person, for no (jther reason man that he was a ne gro : or it may be their sympathies, like those of this General Glascock, were excited to the utmost ten-ity at the cruelty of a master claiming the ser vices of his own s.ave until he was 21 years of age. Be this as it may, the negroes tlms bound (by which their rights as well as the master’s were protected) soon began to feel that those who had raised them and brought them to a free country were their worst enemies; they grew impudent and lazy, and upon the slightest provocation, or without any, they ran away. It was in vain to attempt to regain them, foi they were provided with a safe retreat even before they started, and if ; discovery was feared and puisuit made their aoo lition friends furnished them means to escape to some more distant settJcinen:, were there were th*se who, i£ it were found ueceisary, WoLiM for- ward them to still n.oni distant parts of the Terri tory, so that generally the master had quietly to submit to the robbery. This is a brief outline of some of the causes which led to the introduction of the Virginia law, and it is a remarkable fact that its adoption put a linal stop to decoying negroes from their masters, and there is not one case recorded, or within the recollection or our oldest settlers, where the law had to be enforced. It should be borne in mind, too,.that this was all done near lbi ty years ago, when our now flourish ing Hoozierland was a tirade less wilderness, with settlements distant from each other, that, like all new countries, it was infested with those who hang upon the outskiits of civilization, that mur der, horse-stealing, and counterfeiting was fre quent ; the people wi re poor, they had nq jails, no money with which to support scoundrels, and in rnan,> instances they not only used the whipping post, but resorted to the more summary process of Lynclvs law, and even in desperate cases to the rifle. Had Gen. Glascock (who I take to be as great a General at the “ /a/e” General Chary,cf Michigan, judging from the exhibition he lias given of him self,) been one of the actors in those trying times, he would, I think, have come to the conclusion, that although our fathers were not so wise, so patriotic, or humane as their sons, yet that they were clever, respectable enough old fellows lor the limes, and that they were after all at least half right in managing their scoundrels in their own way. And as it was their law and not Gen. Har rison’s tiiey take the responsibility. Respectfu ty yours, A. VV. MORRIS. J. W. Jones, Esq., Augusta, Geo. CHAPTER XLVIII. AN ACT CONCERNING SERVANTS. Sec. 1.

Secretary of State for the State aforesai ', do hereby certify that the forego ing is a true copy of the original act now on file in my office. I n testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and affixed the Great Seal of said seal. State, at Indianapolis, this 22d day of Sep tember, A.D. 1840. WM. J. BROWN, Secretary of State. Erom the Baltimore Patriot. Mates’ Evidence. ■ John O. Truesde 1 was, and we believe still is, a Van Buren editor in Washington, Fayette coun ty, Ohio. He confesses that for two years past he has been a “ slave ” to the Administration leaders in that county, and having burst his bonds, he now bursts out with this description of his masters: “A more heartless, soulless, and unprincipled set of men does not exist in any county, or in any community, than aie the leaders ot tiie Vanocratic parly in Fayette. I know them well. They are held together by political principles, not bv any respect for each other. J heir adhesive qualities consist only of self aggrandizement and love of of fice.* I know that then bosoms rankle with ha tred and malice towards each other, which will break forth ere long, and an attempt will be made to entangle some of the honest and unsuspecting °f the party in their plans.” * * * “ They would sell their county for gold, or their ‘ birth right’ for an office.” b * As John C. Calhoun expresses it, they are kept together by the “ cohesive power of the public plunder lo adopt the phrase of Junius, as applied to the eulogist of Lord Granby, we may say 6f the testi mony of these witnesses against Van Burenism— none but an intimate acquaintance could have described it so well!” Legislature.

It is proven by official documents that Harris, Bj j the Receiver at Columbus, was retained in office Si after it was known that he was a defaulter to an S immense amount. Mr. Woodbury, for nearly 1 two years, had been coaxing this man to restore | the money which he had stolen. I say stolen,for B| that is the word, the proper word. “Kow do, fl dear Mr. Harris, pay us our money ; it is very B painful to have to teaze you thus; we would not B | do it, Mr. Harris, indeed we would not, hut we H i are mighty hard pushed ourselves.” Mr.HA»Bi>B ' was inexoiahi*; he would pay nothing, At las* fl | he was informed that if he did not pay up by the H|j i first of October, be would be dismissed. H* l B ! began to look a little like doing the right things* ft I last. But mark the issue ! Mr. Clai borne, the Br I member of Congress from Mississippi, writes aid* K ter to the President, saying amongst oilier thing ß ' Bp that the flection in •Mississippi would be a ' er l BH cl* se one, and that Mr. Farris and his fanny Bt were very influentlajy'aml were friertffiy to *h f Bp Administration. He to hiscflice n n ' Bn til he embezzled thirty forty thousand doda* 5 Bp more, which was lost to the Government; in a ’ IK* 109,000 dollars. Lmifeht swell this list if I v ‘ ere to name all who, under like circumstances, " ere |y retained in office after it was known that t ‘.' ;|K embezzled the public money. Is not the case* Ip then, made out, of the overseer who tnake» H profitable esiate ruinously unproductive. 1 C fences down, houses dilapidated, and wiflks at ||r stealing by the servants of the little that is® J | not satisfied with not punishing them, but r« fmf ing them by again giving them opportunity B steal ? Would any man here retain such | Lager] If he woulJ not, but would continue Ber in its present hands, he cares less lor the pu- ||W than his own.
