RUNAW Az SLAVES.

We perceive by the Norfolk papers, that serious
|appre tensions are indnlged from band of Iu king
assassins who appear to be beyond the reach of pow
er or law They are runaway negroes, commonly
called out-lyers and they rendezvous in swamps
and morasses, in which they have been accustomed
to cut timber, with the dreary haunts oil which they
are perfectly familiar.
1t seems that their FIRST object is to obtain guns
and ammunition, not to procure subsistence, but to
defend themselves against attack, and to take VEN
geance upon their enemies and pursuers and such

its extensive and gloomy swamps, and sometimes
mpenetrabe morasses, that every protection is thus
secursd TO their murderous designs.

THE HAUNCH OF VENISON.

AT number One dwelt Captain Drew,
George Benson dwelt at Number Two,
(The street Wen not now mehtion)
The latter stunned the Kings Bench Bar.
The former being lanled in war,
Sung small upon pension.
Tom Blewit knew them boh-than he
None deeper in the mystery
OF culinary knowledge;
From Turtle soup to Stilton cheese,
Apt STUDENT taking his degrees
III Mrs. Rundelrs College.
Benson to dine invited Tom.
Proud of an invitation from
host who "sprcad" SO nicely,
Tom answered, ere the ink was dryp
" Extremely happy-cone on FRI
Day next, at SIX precisely"
Blewit, with expectation fraught,
Drove up at six, each sayoury thought
Ideal turbot rich in:
But ere he reached the winning post,
He saw Hsunch of Venisnn roast,
Down in the next door kitchen.
Hey POUNDS what's this, haunch at Drews2
must drop in-I can't refuse
10 pass were downright trcason
To cut Ned Benson's rot quite staunch,
Bu the provocave--a hsunch
BOUNDS it's the first this season!
"yenison, thou'rt mine I'll talk no more,"
Then rapping thrice at Benson'S doorr
"John Pm in such hurry
Do tell your master that my aunt
Is paralytic, quite aslant,
must be off for Surrey"
Now Tom at next door makes din
SIS Captain Drew at home -" Walk n"--
'Drew, how dye do '"---'s What Blewit 70
eyes, I-you've asked me many day,
To drop i'll, i'll quiet way,
So now Pm come to do it,"
"Pm very glad you have, said Drew,
'I've nothing but.an Irish sNew;"
Quoth Tom, (aside J "No matter.
'Twont do, my stomach's up to that,
Twill lie by till the lucid fat
Comes quvering on the platter"
"You see your dinner Tom,'' Drew cried,
"No, but don't though" Tom replied;
81 smoked below" What Venison,
ga haunch'-'' oh true, it is not mine;
My neighbor has some friends to dine: )"
"Your neighbor! who" "Geo Benson"
His chimney smoked--the scene to change,
Ilet him have my kitchen range,
While his was newly polished
The Venison you observed below,
Went home just half an hour ago
guess it's now demolished
"Tom, why that lool, of doubtful tlreadl
Come, help yourself to salt and bread,
Don't sit with hands and knees up;
But dine, for once, off Irish stew,
And read ''rhe Dog and Shadow through,
When next you open -Esop."

afterwards reported to the committee, who
did not suggest single alteration or amend
ment. The committee then reported the
Declaration to Congress, on the LIST of July,
l176; It was discussed and amended on the
"a, 81, and 4,h of July, and adopted on the
iat'er day, about a quarter of the reported
Declaration having been stricken out. Mr.
Pickering differed from Mr.. Adams in opinion
and thought the Declaration improved by the
amendments. In this opinion OF Col Picker
lng's, we most readily concur, as we consider
nearly every. alteration made, by Congress,
with the exception of those in relation to slave
ry, as real amendment to that instrument
Most OF the ideas in the Declaration had been
repeatedly maintained in previous papers,
especially in IA declaration ofRights in Massa-
chuselts, penned 10 lucidinierval, by James
Otis, aud pruued and polished by Samuel
Adams. That great credit. howey er,. was due
