From thr y. V. Krriiin^
What was not residved by the Conven
tion is of far irreater si;rnificance than what
consist only in levyiiitr war against them,
or in adhering to their enemies, giving
them aid and comfort.”
Treason, then, i.s “levying war,” and
the (juestion now ari.ses, in what does
“levying war” consist? This question has
been deciIed by the Supreme (%mrt, on
various occasions.
In the trial of those engaged in the '
“Whiskey insurrection,” intended to re
sist the execution of an act of Congress,
laying a iluty on distilled liquors, the o-
piiiiou of the Court was delivered b}’ Judge
Patterson, who said;
“If the object of the intjurreeticm was to
.suppress the excise office and to prevent
the execution of an act of ('ongress by
force and intimidation, the offence in legal
estimation is high treason; it is an usurpa
tion of the authority of (Tovcrnnient; it is
high treason by the levying of war.”
This opinicm was re-affirmed by Judges
Iredell and Peters, in a trial, in the .same
district, when the partj- was indicted for
combining with others to resist the execu
tion of the law.’ 'i'he counsel for the de
fence contended that the resistance of a
particular l aw of the United States did not
amount tit “levying war,” but was a riot.
But the Judge.*! decided:
“That, to resist or prevent by force the
execution of a particiil.ir law of the United
St.ites, did amount to levying war against
them, and was therefore trca.son.”
Judge Story, iii his charge to the (Irand
Jury a.s.seiulilcd at Newport (R. 1.) in
1 S t-2, laid down the law in these wonls:
“In n spi-ct to the tre.isonablc design, it
is not necessary that it should be a ilirect
and positive intention to siibvt*rt or over
throw the Toyrrnment. It will be equal
ly treason if the int-ution is Viy force to
jireveut the execution of any one or more
general ami public laws f>f the Govern
ment, or to resist the excrci.se of any legi
timate authority of the (jovernnuiit in its
so\i reign capacity. Thus, if there is an
assembly of persons with force, with an
inti iit to prevent fhe collection of tlie law
ful taxes or duties b-vied by the (lovern-
ment—or to di s^roy all eustoni-honse«, or
to resist the administration of jusriee in
the courts of the Unito(l States, and they
jtrucecd to execute their purpo.se by f n'ce,
th"re « aii be no doubt that it would be
treason against the Un;tel States.”
The same doctrine is lail down by the
Supreme Court in “#’.■ jxirtc lioliman,"
when the Chief Justice said:
“If a bKly of men be actually assembled
for the j)urj>o.se of effc'cting Viy force a trea
sonable purpose, all tho.sc who perform any
j»art, however minute or however remote
from tin m t ne of arfioii, and who are ac
tually leagued in the general conspiracy,

A visit to (jne of the steam .saw mills, in
operation a mile below Ashborough, must
impress any visiter w ho has been acquainted
with tlmt region of country ‘lang syne,’ wiih
a feeling of astonishmi'iit and d( light.—
Those poor, ]»iney woods solitudes were
never .so waked up before! In those ex-
ten.sive barrens, where scarcely any sign
of huimin jue.sence had been ever known,
except now and then the solitary blast of
some hunter’s horn,—we now h*ar the puff
of the engine, the rush of fhe saw, fhe
sound of iixes and hammers, ami bclndd
all the bustle of active human enterpri.se.'
It was a sight to make glad the heart ot
the North (.'arolinian, and kimlle liope in
his breast for the future.
'I'he mill, we learned, turned out an
average of ten thousand feet of lumber
per day. There are two ^f them iu opiua-

where the large limbs are cut off; for if the
wounds made by cutting large limb.s or
