and robbed the roost taking among the other fowls the minister's when he came fo examine his spoil he knew the one which belonged to the minister and so he look him home and thus brought himsell out as the thief in those days my father said if a man wronged a min ister he was looked upon as a sort of al gerine • human nature is pretty much the same at all times i suspect there were men then as well as now who would take the advantage ol a minister notwithstand ing his black coat there were not many christian men who would do it in those days there are not many christian men who would do it now there are a great many christian men who do do it now you are no wont to speak harshly of our brethren i hardly know bow to lal !• you ' you musl take me as i say to be sure ihe won cheating may not be the precise word to express my idea cheat ing involves tbe idea ot deception or trick ery the wrong whieh is often practised on ministers does not often involve that idea but that matters not what i say is lllnl lll.i'iv i ll lis tu n men aro rrniltv if . ine truth wiien 1 said that some profess j ing christians are guilty of dishonesty to wards ministers now i will ask you if i any such cases ever have occurred ? i suppose they have — a good many ol them ' then i have proved all you wanfed me to prove * but the parishes do not look upon it in the light you do ' that may be ; but the question is do not i look upon it in lbe true light ' i think you do ' looking upon a thing in a false light and culling a thing by a wrong name does not better its nature a great many min isters have their influence and uselulness greatly impaired by the dishonesty of those who contracted for their services it is in vain for mr a b and c to throw the blame on the parish the parish has no existence apart trom the men who con j stitute it in order that a man may be ! free from blame in the matter he must promptly pay his own subscription and do all he can to bring the parish to right action ' 1 should like to hear you explain min isterial cheating in the other sense i have not got through with the first scene yet there is another way in which ministers are cheated by some men who profess to be christians once upon a time a certain man put up two barrels of pota publishing so much of his letter as will throw i light upon lhe subject : greenville april 4 1851 my dear friend — i saw some time ago j an extract in your paper taken from a paper j published in the western part of the state which slated that the people of pilt county had declared independence even anterior to the people of mecklenburg as evidenced by re cords in our register's office * * * the records alluded lo are the proceedings of the committees of safety tor this county during revolutionary times they are now very much worn but are still perfectly legible being written in a very plain and handsome | penmanship several years ago i examined ihem and took a copy and often thought that i i would send to some paper for publication the copies that 1 now send are lhe nearest approaches to a declaration of independence ! lhal i can find the one of 1st july is a part ofthe proceedings ofthe committee and is in serted as such by the secretary as it appears never to have been a part of lhe said proceed ings il is on a separate piece of paper and in a different handwriting from the other and the signers with tbe exception ol a very few are different persons it has been preserved however in the same book with the commit i tee's proceedings this last may have been prepared by some member for those citizens to sign who did not have an opportunity of signing the first ; or it may be the separate de claration of a party's disagreeing upon some trivial point wilh the committee party and ap pended to their proceedings for preservation neighborhood of black bird on the night of j the murder which declaration ford corrobora ted but stated lhat drummond did not arrive i al the house until a late hour of the night — one of the pockets of his pantaloons bore the ! distinct impression of a bloody hand ; murphy j the man arrested here to day came forward and testified lhat he and drummond were out together on the afternoon and night ofthe mur der hunting muskrats drummond notwithstanding this testimony i was still held for fuiiher examination and has i now confessed declaring that murphy shelton ford sills and taylor are the parlies who committed the bloody outrage they have all been arrested except shelton and the officers j are in pursuit of bim this is not the shelton i lhe miller who was among the first arrested j ford is the same man who testified at he ex amination that drummond did noi reach his , house uniil afier midnight 1 learn from the officer who arrested mur ! phy thai drummond declares that he had no hand in the matter himsell and that the only | object of the band was plunder — ihal his guilt j only consists in a knowledge of the conspiracy before the deed was committed webster the uncle of mrs cosden who has so long rested under the suspicion of having heen the instigator of this dreadful tragedy seems to be in no manner implicated by the confession of drummond who intimates that if some of the cosden family had not escaped and given the alarm it was their intention to have followed up the plunder of work and blood and that other families would have been masa to amend the 51st section ofthe 102j chapter of the revised statutes sec 1 be it enacted by the general as sembly of the stale of north carolina and il is hereby enacted by ihe authority of

newspaper publish ed in the city of raleigh in addition to the ad vertisement as hereinbefore provided for sec 2 be il further enacted that so much of the 51st section of the chapter 102 ol the

general as sembly of the state of norlh carolina and it that will be preferred we yet however have doubts of lhe success ofthe new operation and our principal reason for now bringing lbe mailer before our southern readers is lhal we desire again lo invite their attention to the fact that for the whole of the last thirty years tho tendency of southern policy has been that ot driving the spinning machinery to the ll-ix growing countries of the world instead of in viting it to take its place among its own cotton fields should they not then take warning from what is now going on il lime be yet al lowed ihem if failure from any cau-e attend the present operation ? had the tariff of 1842 been maintained we should be now consuming at leal nine hundred thousand bales a large portion ol which would be worked up in lhe southern slates ; for by this time the northern manufacturers would be chiefly engaged in the production of finer goods leaving to lhe south the production of coarse ones as it is our consumption north and south is not like as we learn to reach even half a million and there is little prospect of change in the future unless towards a reduction of the quantity a few years of thorough and complete pro leciion would enable lhe south to ship its own manufactures to almost every pail of the world and so much below the piices at which similar goods could be supplied by england lhat they might almost set flax at defiance : and vet they dishonesty towards ministers thai is a hard saying : i suppose you an ready lo prove it ,(); course i am or i should not have said it let us suppose a case that will aid usingi tting right ideas of this matter i'ou owe me we will say a hundred dol lars \ ou engage to pay ine on the first of july and you put your name upon pa per to that effect in consequence of that agreement 1 form certain engagements '. the first of july comes and 1 hear noth ing from you my engagements become due and i must meet them as i can — seme time in the fall i go to vou nnd ask you for the money that was due on the first o i july you tell me you hav'nt it then or it is not convenient for you tb pay then — that you will probably have it be fore long the next week you take all jour family a hundred miles to hear jen uy lind or you re-furnish your wife's par ' lor,or give a costly entertainment for h'flich the cash is paid what sort of a man

that the large ones were picked out for the squire and the small ones for the minister because ir would not do lor the minister lo complain it was the duty to practice self denial ! — that is a specimen of the way in which ministers are some times cheated by in dividuals ' there are not many persons who are i mean enough to treat a minister iu tbat manner | if all the ministers who are now

and robbed the roost taking among the other fowls the minister's when he came fo examine his spoil he knew the one which belonged to the minister and so he look him home and thus brought himsell out as the thief in those days my father said if a man wronged a min ister he was looked upon as a sort of al gerine • human nature is pretty much the same at all times i suspect there were men then as well as now who would take the advantage ol a minister notwithstand ing his black coat there were not many christian men who would do it in those days there are not many christian men who would do it now there are a great many christian men who do do it now you are no wont to speak harshly of our brethren i hardly know bow to lal !• you ' you musl take me as i say to be sure ihe won cheating may not be the precise word to express my idea cheat ing involves tbe idea ot deception or trick ery the wrong whieh is often practised on ministers does not often involve that idea but that matters not what i say is lllnl lll.i'iv i ll lis tu n men aro rrniltv if . ine truth wiien 1 said that some profess j ing christians are guilty of dishonesty to wards ministers now i will ask you if i any such cases ever have occurred ? i suppose they have — a good many ol them ' then i have proved all you wanfed me to prove * but the parishes do not look upon it in the light you do ' that may be ; but the question is do not i look upon it in lbe true light ' i think you do ' looking upon a thing in a false light and culling a thing by a wrong name does not better its nature a great many min isters have their influence and uselulness greatly impaired by the dishonesty of those who contracted for their services it is in vain for mr a b and c to throw the blame on the parish the parish has no existence apart trom the men who con j stitute it in order that a man may be ! free from blame in the matter he must promptly pay his own subscription and do all he can to bring the parish to right action ' 1 should like to hear you explain min isterial cheating in the other sense i have not got through with the first scene yet there is another way in which ministers are cheated by some men who profess to be christians once upon a time a certain man put up two barrels of pota publishing so much of his letter as will throw i light upon lhe subject : greenville april 4 1851 my dear friend — i saw some time ago j an extract in your paper taken from a paper j published in the western part of the state which slated that the people of pilt county had declared independence even anterior to the people of mecklenburg as evidenced by re cords in our register's office * * * the records alluded lo are the proceedings of the committees of safety tor this county during revolutionary times they are now very much worn but are still perfectly legible being written in a very plain and handsome | penmanship several years ago i examined ihem and took a copy and often thought that i i would send to some paper for publication the copies that 1 now send are lhe nearest approaches to a declaration of independence ! lhal i can find the one of 1st july is a part ofthe proceedings ofthe committee and is in serted as such by the secretary as it appears never to have been a part of lhe said proceed ings il is on a separate piece of paper and in a different handwriting from the other and the signers with tbe exception ol a very few are different persons it has been preserved however in the same book with the commit i tee's proceedings this last may have been prepared by some member for those citizens to sign who did not have an opportunity of signing the first ; or it may be the separate de claration of a party's disagreeing upon some trivial point wilh the committee party and ap pended to their proceedings for preservation neighborhood of black bird on the night of j the murder which declaration ford corrobora ted but stated lhat drummond did not arrive i al the house until a late hour of the night — one of the pockets of his pantaloons bore the ! distinct impression of a bloody hand ; murphy j the man arrested here to day came forward and testified lhat he and drummond were out together on the afternoon and night ofthe mur der hunting muskrats drummond notwithstanding this testimony i was still held for fuiiher examination and has i now confessed declaring that murphy shelton ford sills and taylor are the parlies who committed the bloody outrage they have all been arrested except shelton and the officers j are in pursuit of bim this is not the shelton i lhe miller who was among the first arrested j ford is the same man who testified at he ex amination that drummond did noi reach his , house uniil afier midnight 1 learn from the officer who arrested mur ! phy thai drummond declares that he had no hand in the matter himsell and that the only | object of the band was plunder — ihal his guilt j only consists in a knowledge of the conspiracy before the deed was committed webster the uncle of mrs cosden who has so long rested under the suspicion of having heen the instigator of this dreadful tragedy seems to be in no manner implicated by the confession of drummond who intimates that if some of the cosden family had not escaped and given the alarm it was their intention to have followed up the plunder of work and blood and that other families would have been masa to amend the 51st section ofthe 102j chapter of the revised statutes sec 1 be it enacted by the general as sembly of the stale of north carolina and il is hereby enacted by ihe authority of

newspaper publish ed in the city of raleigh in addition to the ad vertisement as hereinbefore provided for sec 2 be il further enacted that so much of the 51st section of the chapter 102 ol the

general as sembly of the state of norlh carolina and it that will be preferred we yet however have doubts of lhe success ofthe new operation and our principal reason for now bringing lbe mailer before our southern readers is lhal we desire again lo invite their attention to the fact that for the whole of the last thirty years tho tendency of southern policy has been that ot driving the spinning machinery to the ll-ix growing countries of the world instead of in viting it to take its place among its own cotton fields should they not then take warning from what is now going on il lime be yet al lowed ihem if failure from any cau-e attend the present operation ? had the tariff of 1842 been maintained we should be now consuming at leal nine hundred thousand bales a large portion ol which would be worked up in lhe southern slates ; for by this time the northern manufacturers would be chiefly engaged in the production of finer goods leaving to lhe south the production of coarse ones as it is our consumption north and south is not like as we learn to reach even half a million and there is little prospect of change in the future unless towards a reduction of the quantity a few years of thorough and complete pro leciion would enable lhe south to ship its own manufactures to almost every pail of the world and so much below the piices at which similar goods could be supplied by england lhat they might almost set flax at defiance : and vet they dishonesty towards ministers thai is a hard saying : i suppose you an ready lo prove it ,(); course i am or i should not have said it let us suppose a case that will aid usingi tting right ideas of this matter i'ou owe me we will say a hundred dol lars \ ou engage to pay ine on the first of july and you put your name upon pa per to

that the large ones were picked out for the squire and the small ones for the minister because ir would not do lor the minister lo complain it was the duty to practice self denial ! — that is a
