ASCENDING SLAVES.

For many years past the city OF PhlIa'
belphia las been place of refuge for the
runaway negroes from the neighbourlng
southern states. The blacks have lncreas-
ed among US, so as 10 have become seri-
Gus nuisance. They will not work, but
abandon themselves to all the habits OF
idleness and vice. We are afraid that the
Abolition Society is answerabe tor large
share of the evils which have been entail
I'D upon US by this, worse than Egyptian
plague.
Great complaints are made by our Sou
thern friends, of our conduct in harbour
ing these individuals. We know that there
is too much Justice in this. We have beard
of negro being concealed, for weeks, IN
the dwelling of one of our citizens, who
would have been utterly dismayed If ne
bad been accused of hiding a stolen horse.
Yet both acts are equally condemned by
law. Whatever our feelings may be, we
must submit to the law. Much as we may
conmisserate the negro OF abhor the mas.
ter, we cannot change what is written in
the ststutes,
We have seen, occasionally, in the pa
pers, instances of magistrates refusing to
give apy aid in the arrest OF this descrip
ton of fugi,ises. Their interposiiion is
not necessary to the arrest. BY the act OF
f79S. every owner OF runaway slave IS
empowered to seize or arrest him. 1t is
the duty of the master then to take him
before magistrate and TO establish bis
right to the services of the fugitive, by at
fdaYit or other evidence, taken before
Judge or magistrate of the state from which
the slave abscoDded. This being produ-
ced, il is the duty of the magistrate to ex-
ecute a certificate of the fact, and thar
certificate is a sufficient authority for the
removal of the fugitive.
There is penalty of Do00 on any per
son who shall owingly or willingly OBJ
struct an owner IN recovering this species
of property.
We have given this statement Of the le-
gal provisions which exist on the subject Of
runausys, partly with view 10 stimulate
the masters of those who have emigrated

Dear SIR,

Water. that remained there until late IN the
afternoon, and resolved to repeat my visits as
often as nv avocations will aIlow.-But what
and where you will ask, is this Milan? 1t IS
not city like It's namesake, nor town, nor
even village, but spring, which is pleasant
" situated on the land of Mr. Edtcin Garter,
near Goose-creek, distant one mile from the
little village of Rectortown, and which from
the miraculous cures that have been effected In
Pulmonary cases by the use of the Water, may
be ranked perhaps, the first of those invaluable
treasures with which this upper country so
much abounds. forbear to enumerate or des-
sribe the benefits that have been derived by
those who have resorted to it, as fountain o.
health; but, confidently believe, that more has
been done by this Water, taking into considera-
ton the few experimentsthat have been made,
than by any other with which am acquainted;
& as confidently hope that every other that
may be made win tend toprove the value OF 1t.
Some win be surprised to learn that altho' 1t IS
SO highly valued by the gentleman who owns
it, and whose nearest relatives have been more
than any other persons restored from the most
wretched state of emaciation to perfect health

that gentleman who resides near the place, IS
determined to send some of the Water to Balti-

periments performed on it, with view to the
ascertanment of It's precise properties.

A singular, yet not unprecedented oc-
currence, we are informed took place on
the evening of the 4th inst. at one OF the
public gardens IN this city. A young wo-
man, decently dressed, but apparently
feeble, was sitting in one Of the alcoves
WITH an infant in her arms. Near her was
young gentleman, foreigner, to whom
the young lady addressed herself, aud
begged him to hold her child for mo-
men, until she had adjusted some part Of
her dress. He was too polite not to yield
to Der request. In a moment she disap-
peared in the crowd, and could not after
wards be found. The young gentleman
was left with sleeping infant in his arms
surrounded by bis jeeriDg companions,
and was perhaps the only person present
who could not raise smile at witnessing
bis early and unwelcome paternity.

was ANNOUNCED to All, but he received notice

him to give up his fortress, &c. beiGre the
pardon could be delivered ca him. Ali saw
now that he was lost, bot he had ALREADY gone
too far To ALLOW OF his receding. Arrange
