It must have been, therefore, near the same
part of the volume from whichjhe other
was taken ? why then was it not also copied
by Messrs. Fisher, 8cc? We leave the pub
lic to judge for iheniselves!

say; whether the offence was of such a na
ture, and the ofTender of such a character
as to rfqaire of them lo add hiring and

ibre the Courts of that Territory were just,;
upright and prudent men, there was no dan
gtf ot any decent or respectable person's
falling under the harsher provisions of this;
law : Only convicts Tor the worst crimes-4
such as perjury, larceny, forgery, ahd
counterfeits , would in. all human proba4
btlilv receive a sentence of this kind. What
good roan in any part of the world would
much care how such beings were dealt with
whether thev were or poor ? The
same observations apply with equal fotce
to the whipping, cliyse ot the law The
Court, when about to sentence a con
vict, knowing that a uhipping might under
circumstances- come in as a consequence
of their sentehca, would be still the moi?
cautious that only Hi subjects should be ex
posed to such danger. We ask our fellow
citizens to lake up this law ol Indiana again
as certified by Messrs. Fisher, Stc, and ex
amine it, carefullv. Are not our views of il
fair and reasonable I .. -1
i It cannot be disputed, but that the people
of Indiana were the best judges of what
kind of laws they needed :
fore, they, through their Representatives
had fixed upon thts one as necessary to
their well-being, it would have been wrong
iri General Harrison to refuse Lis sanction
tcfif, merely because he did not think it sui
table He has lately told us that his opin
ion of the veto powvis, that it ought hot
to be applied in nj case, except-to an un-
J co;isfi7ufionfl law. . Tht3 is not pretended

tlie'bmrerorthe!Pe8idebt of the United
States
s'Ptovidedt That theConrt in pronouncing
sentence on any person or persons convicted b ri
der iLis act or the act to uhich this is sappier
mehlary, may direct such person or persons Jo
be detained tn prison nntii the fine be paid; or
the persons olhtricisc dhposed'j agreeably! to
f the provisions of this Act." sjH;
All that we have said about the sort; of
persons who would probably come under
the; Indiana Ltw, applies here. But un
der! this bill even these Jit subjects who
were thus sentenced, would have escaped
if they conld show that hey vere jairly
insolvent. You will see in this, bill these
words, ' but nothing herein contained shall
be construed to prevent persons being dis
charged, from imprisonraeut, according to
the provisions of the thirty-seventh section
of jho act, to which this is supplementary;"
This 37th section is as follows: I.
lie fesaed an exerotion against the body, lands,
go!, or chaiieU of the person so discharged
fiotii imprisonment, for the amoncl of such jfines
aodl costs." f
These commissioners were a permanent
boy of three, electedAy the People, andill
that the convict had to do, was la satisfy
therm that he was unable, to pay such the
and co8ts and he wonld be discharged, jit
was in fact similar to our insolvent laws ;
an no one could have suffered underj the
proposed law, except such as fraudulently
endeavored to conceal their property. So
that this act so much complained of, turns
ou not to be analtempt to sell poor men
forf debt, hut in fact, and in truth, a -proposal
to hire out bad mm for their crimesto
kefp honest poor men from paying Taxs,,
iVhy, Fellbw-Citizens! did not this peb
tra Committee tell of this important j3Mt
section. Did not their informants at Vasn-
indion Citv make it k'own to them ? If
they did not, what was the reason of U ?
w leave every reflecting man to decide thU
qopstion for himself. ,
! put there is something else about this i!l
which you ought to know : It came to the
Senate of Ohio from the other House, where
it fend nassed unanimously. It was fifst in-
ttoduced there by one Air. Morris, who is
nov a leading Van Burenite in that State.
Tljis same gentleman, was afierwaids elec
ted bv Van Buren men to the United States
Senate, and no whisper was urged against
hiin on that occasion, for his course" iri this
1 - ' ! ,M ;
matter. j- "
By the laws of Ohio, all persons cbnvic-
When. there-1 te4 of crimes and not able to show that. he
was honestly insolvent, or not willing to
' i f
pay, were to be confined in the common
iail of the county. This was a great bur-
thn on the people of that State, for the ex-
were settled bf very pDhaniLIawless; peo
ple Some o( them wer honest hard work
ing men, but the greater part of them had
'fled from tbe old settlements for their crimes.
They were constantly violating the laws, and
not having'any property to pay fines and
costs, it followed that ! they could not be
reached at all, unless lbs more steady part
of tbe community paid these charges.1 It
was to avoid an injustice like this, that
laws oj this kind were enacted. We find
them in lil most ail the new countries, and
vre dare saywithout then, there would have
been no chance for an ndustrious rnaQ, to
live there, Even in our cwn State, we find in
early times, laws that aeep a good deal more
severe than those sanctio led by General Har
rson. We will give yau a specimen or two
lo show what our Revolutionary Fathers
ijiought cf these lhinJs,and surely they
will not be accused of being enemies to lib
erty. In Iredell's Revh al, page 85j section
3rd, is the following; re-enacted in 1791.
III. Jlnd be it further enacted by the author
ity aforesaid, That if anr Christian Servant
shall lay violent bands on hisor her master or her
mistress, or overseer, or shall obstinately refuse
to obey the lawful commands of any of them; up
on proof thereof by one or more evidences before
any Justice of the Peace, he or she shall, for
every snch offence, suffer fcach corporal pnoish
rneht as tbe said Jostice shall think fit j to ad
judge, not exceeding Twcr ly one Lashes. ;
Section XIV of this same act provides,
that any person trading with an apprentice
or servant, " whether so by indenture ot oth
erwise1 without the masters consent, shall
forfeit and pay three tides the valoe of the
article traded, and 9ba 1 pay six pounds
proclamaiion money in addition. The con
cluding words of this act are as follows :
ii " And if it snail so hapten, that the persoo so
offending shalljiot be ablejto pay treble the val:
ae of the commodities so traded for, sold nr bar
tered, and tbe sum of six pounds, such : persons
shall then be adjudged, by the County; Court,
TO BE SOLD AS ASERVANT for the same,
f The XVIliib section of this is as follows :
1 ' And if any white woman shall during the
lime of her servitude, be delivered of a child,
begotten by a. negro, mulatto, or Indian, snch
Servant, over and above the time she is by this
fAct to serve her roaster oi owapr, for snch of-
Ifence, shall be iold by the crfli wardens of the
parish, for i wo years, after fLMurne by inden-
risinjj thereby applied td Ffx
Parish; and such mulatto clw or children of
such Servant, to be bound bvhe County Coon,
until ne or sne arrive at trie age of twenty-one
years."
Here is a case wherea prj
mum be solo tor two v
to prevent woolly-beaded
chasms her. Indeed if bei
bad not bid her in, it sis Vd
who would have done iso, or what Would
have become of the degraded wretch.
But here is still another law passed by our
fathers in 1787 which remained on our stat
ute book, down lo tlayear 1836, and nev
er has befn expressly repealed. It was left
cut of the last rcvtsal, because the Supreme
Court in 1828, .decides that it ha d; been su
perseded by the-insolvent laws, jt applied
lo all offenders, and wfrs partially acted on
down to the year 1SS8. Seo Haywood's

charges arising from such imprisonment ; and if
snch person be guilty of the lite offence from
and afler the space of 1 twenty days, he or they
so offending shall be deemed a vagrant, and b

proceed to try said offeoder, and if found goilty
by a verdict of a jury of good and lawful men,
said court may proceed to hire he offender for

person or persons be of ill fame, so. that he or
ihey cannot be hired for the costs, nor give suf
ficient security for tbe same, and his or their fa
tore good behaviour, in that case it shall and
may be lawful for said court to cause the offend -eror
offenders to receive tbirty-nine lashes on
his or their bare back, after which he or they
shall be set at liberty, and tbe costs arising
Ihereon shall become a county charge, which
punishment may be inflicted as often as ihm r.
son may be guilty, allowing twenty days be
tween the punishment and the offence."
We presume that a woman can become a
Vagrant as well as a man, antMf so, we pre
sume she may be hired out u not exceed
ing six months,' and we see nothing in the
act to forbid a free negro from hirfog her.
But if she is of "ill fame'' so that even
the negroes will not have her, she can be
whipped on the i 6ore back with thirty-nine
stripes. Not only so, but this punish
ment may be inflicted as often as she may
be guilty, allowing twenty day s between the
punishment and the offence."
Now, here is a case to call forth the sym
pathies of this tender hearted Central Com
mittee. Have they no tears for North Car
olina vagrants and "poor white women:
dragged up to the whipping post " at home ? j
Or have they wept them all away over the
horse thieves, sheepstealers and scoundrels
in the Northwest V '
The Rowan Committee speak of the ren
lalion proposed by the Ohio Bill as bondage ;
and they aitfully take advantage of the word
sold, (which here only means hiret) to cret
ate a belief, that the convicts sentenced un
der this law, would have been slaves. The
speecbof Mr Lucas, (which is itself a fab
rication.) is ingeniously introduced for that
purpose. Now here is another most bare
faced attempt to deceive. Just look at a
clause of the bill copied into, the Handbill
and this will be manifest. Here are tbe
words. " J2nd for injuries done, remedy
shall be had in the same manner as is, or
may be provided by law in the case of mas
ter and apprentices.". There are other
clauses going clearly to show, that it was
only a hiring, and that the convict only
stood in the light of an Apprentice: How
different from the charge of selling white
men for deb, as has been so repeatedly
charged 1 ! We therefore upon our own re
sponsibihty say, that the charge as made by.
this committee and by others against Gen
eral Harrison, is in its substance and in
