Show One by one tho rights of American citizens are beinj; taken away by laws enacted by ignorant and corrupt legislators. A few days ago a Mr. Turner, of Willmuinport, O., exercising exer-cising bia right to "treat," invitud a man to drink with him. The individual indi-vidual declined, tmd Mr. Turntr promptly out the fulluw's throat. Tho law at once interfered, ami now Turner languishes in a cruel jail, impatiently im-patiently awaiting trial, and the probability is thai a corrupt jury, under the influence of a prejudiced court, will convict him of the crime of murder. II tho people submit to auch high-banded proceedings oq the part of tho law otlicera,. where will this specioa of usurpation end? What waa expected of Mr. Turner, what else could be have done undtr the circumstance? These are pertinent quoatione. When a man cannot aak bis friend to take something without being openly refused, and the injured individual cannot resort to the only means in bis power to recent tho mortal insult without being itjiiuujini-ously itjiiuujini-ously dealt with by the law, it is time to think ol revolution. |
