It let out to civilization a clas‘s“"of
people who never before had an idea
there was such a thing as.c_ivi.li.zed-._l.if.e._
and this Dorlder is oneof them. It is a
fact that soon after I moved ...up there, a
young woman, sixteen years old," cum
down out of the mountains on the plank
road, one day, and she had never been
out before.
to see a white man, and after asking a
few questions went back into the woods
This Dodder was my nearest neighbor,
and l badii’t been there long‘ before I
heard that he had been lying about me
to one of the Directors, and I soon found,
out thatlie wanted to get his son, who
was sworn here against me, in my place.
But he liasii’t done it yet and if you
don't convict me, I reckon he won’t
very soon. A
It wo:i’t take long to dispose of Dod-
der No, .l-Ie testifies that he saw. me
throw three stones at his father, and saw
she old man dodge. On his cross-ex-
amiuatiou he says that he was in his
own house in the woods, and had to look
over a hill twenty feet high, and also
through three slab fences and two stone
walls. VVell, if he tells the truth, all.I
wish is that I had young Dodder’s eyes.
He is certainly a remarkable boy, and
can’t consistently deny his father.
I am willing to admit that I did wrong
to throw stones at Dodder, and I apolo-
gize to all the world and this county par-
ticularly, for it. The Doctors. tell us
that there are two causes for all diseases
predisposition and excitability, I think-it
was the latter cause that moved me‘ to
stone Dodder. I therefore confess my-
self guilty ofthe assault, but the battery
I deny : and if you find n1e guilty of
the battery, I will appeal to the Court of
High Heaven itself before I will sub-
rnittoit. , .
Now gentlemen, you saw.Mr. Dodder
and heard him swear against me.’ I ask
ed him a great many questions", and was
sorry to hear him answer as he did. I
might have asked him if he didn’t kill
my cat, and if he didn’t stone my chick-
sns, because they trespassed in his woods
where the rocks are so thick that ,the
brakes can’t find their way through them
but then I knew he would deny it, and
it wouldgrieve me to hear him. He ad-'
mits that he was driving my cows .,up
the road, and that he struck .at one of .-
’em, btit says it was with asmall switch. -
I have proved that it was a pole,-a_b,out
ten feet long, and three incbes.across.t.lie
butt, and I have also proved that Iwlien-
he struck, the cow fell. It is true, my
witness couldn't swear that the stick. liit .
her, he was so far off, but take the blow
and the fall together, and we can guess
the rest. If you, gentlemen, could see
me point a gun and pull the trigger, see
the flash and hear the report, and at, the
same time see the man drop, I think you -
would say that I shot him, although
you might not see the ball strike him.
Now the fact is, gentlemen, that on
Sundayl was laying on my lounge _in
my house, when my wife said to me
that Dodder was chasing my cows. I
jumped up and pulled on my boots, and
went out of doors, and saw Dodder and
the cows coming up the road. It is true
he says he was not driving them, but he
and the cows were both going along
the road in one direction, and this was
as near asI could get him to the cows
were going ahead of him, and he was
followiiig after them, striking at them
with this little switch, and I reckon you
will think he was driving them. lsung
out to liiui,‘Dodder stop!’ but he didn’t
obey my ofder, and I just threw a stone
in that direction, which went about ten
feet over his head, at the same time go-
i_ng toward iiim,while he was coming -
toward me. But he never slackcd up,
and by this time we were about 8 feet
of each other. I halted and hollered at
the top of my voice, ‘Dodder, why in
don‘t you stop .9” then he did stop,
and raised this ten-foot switch as if to
strike rr:e—I sang out—‘Mr. Dodder,
look out 3 You may wollup my cows,
but if you wollup me with that switch,
you’il wollup an animal tliat’ll h_ook I’

New gentlemen, if you convict me,
this Court can fine me $260 and jug me
for ruoiitiis, and if you really tniiik I
ought to be convicted, say so, for I am
in favor of living upto the laws, while
they are laws, whether it is the Fugi-
tive Slave Law, the Nebraska. Bill, and
the Excise Laws. I will read a little
iaw, liowever, in a book I found llt:l'£‘-—
(the speaker here picked tip a law-book
and read as follows :)—“Every man has
a right to defend himself from personal
violence.” Now I don’t know whether
this is law or not, but I find it in a law-
book, (a veteran member of the bar who
was sitting near the speaker, remarked
to him that itwas good law.) Now if
you will turn to Barbour something,
page 399, yoii’ll find that the same doc-
trine is applied to cattle—(great laugh-
ter.) Therefore, I takeit 1 had a right

which I reckon is doing pretty "well for

Now gentlemen, I don’t believe.you’ll
convict inc, after wliatI have said. But
if you do, and this Court fines me $250,
I shall ;_ repudiate, because I can’t pay.
And if I’m jugged for six months, why
these Dodders will have itall their own
way up there. But notwitlistanding all
this, I am willing to risk myself in your
hands, and if you think I ought to have
stood by and not done anything, when I
saw Doddcr liammeriiig my cows, why
then I am gone m, toll gate and all.

It was proved, however, that the prison-

she gave various reasons. The main
_ground of the defence was founded on
the idea that the prisoner was at that

much care, went strongly to show that

ltinoicviiuu, Oct. 29, 18.54.
Sm:--A day or two ago, I read an
article in lhll Norwallr Gazette, written
in part concerning one of the citizens of
this town; and while reading it, I was
clearly impressed with the applicability
which the following quotation has upon
the unlknown author;
“ A soft answer nit-netb away 'wnth,but
grieyoussvvprds stir up anger.”
- “The tongue of‘ the wise usoth knowledge
aright, but the mouth of the foolish poursth
out foolishness.” '
' ’Now,_I appeal ‘to all who take the
trouble to read this article. A tesidsnt
of this town visited New York a short
time since ;-before leaving the city he
'purchased agallon of good brandy. This
he put into his trunk to bring home with
,lii,rn. K He started per railroad,‘ and arri-
lved safe. at South Norwalln. While the
‘baggage was being left there, his trunk,
containing the-liqabrpwas thrown out of
the car‘on‘t‘6 ‘the platformjigvith such
forceas to break -tlie vessel holding the
liquor,arid_ consequently it was wasted.
Su'ch‘were"’ilie.‘ simple facts’ 3f the case’;
and‘ upon the strength of the same, I
certain part of a certain article appeared
. in print a few days since.
Now, the '-first enquiry is, what was
The second
etit of said citizen '1 If not”, was it writ-'
ten to insu}t him?
-Let us attend to the first proposition.
I._inust confess I cannot answer it. The
motives of the author I cannot tell, and
there is no alternative left me but to take
what is written, together with the cir-
cumstances, and see what I can conclude
from the premises; therefore I leave the
first and pass to the second questioni-
Was it written for said citizen’: benefit‘!
If it was_,,I must now ask, in what way
was it meant to benefit him ? What
does the author say l This—" There’:
many rt slip ’twixt the cup and the lip.”
This implies that the liquor -was purcha-
sed to be drunk. Hence’ we judge the
author meant to .benefit our citizen by
influencing him to turn from his cup.
’ Now, without challenging said an-
thor to prove that the brandy was to be
used for a, be-verage——which, by the
way, he cannot do-—we will simply in-
quire wlietber the writer of said article
pursued’ the right course to effect the
above named object ? VVe do not doubt
but that said author has a capacious
soul, and that it is prone to swell and
overflow some of its kind spirit for his
rieighbor’s good. This we do not doubt
But is such -language, put forth to the
public gaze in such a manner, calculated
todo any mamreasonable or unreasona-
b_le,'any good ttfhatever? I answer no.’
and here is my. reason : It insults him.’
It arouses antagonism at once. He
turns with disgust‘upon the party" or
clique, who, pretending to advocate mo-
ralit»y,'s_toop to such low, insidious and
unfair means to effect it. He turns with
disgust a second time on that party or
clique, who, pretcriding to advance tern-
perance, stoop to such uuderhanded,
such cowarrily measures, which, bear
such dire intemperance on their very face!
[le turns round his back to them. He
czimiot listen to what they say. Their
approach is repulsive-—it is not in the
right manner. \Vliat is the consequence?
Hminlan N'a_tm'e revolts at once ! If

it was read by our citizens gciierally.
and considered by them as a'contemptu-
ous affair; and, sir, as a piece of busi-

And why’? Simply because the individ-

has llS’mally friends, probably, as he who
penned the communication alluded to.-—
But look at the whole affair. Our cili.
