WM. Il. IsH.
Sept. 10, 1889.
Now far be it from US TO insinuate the
flight OF twenty-seven hundred and seven
ty-tlve dollars worth of the Virginia
staple, induced Joseph Mead 10 offer a
reward of 500. through the columns of
the Democratic Globe, for the arrest of
the fugitive" family, and thereby set
that amiabIe class of our felow-citizrns,
who follow The laudabIe occupation of
negro-catching, in full howl after them all
along the line from Washington to Phil
adelphia. Let US rather look upon it as
an act OF sheer benevolence, growing out
Of fear that they couldn't take care Of
themselves" We are happy, therefore
10 have 1t IN our power TO offer some con-
ISOLATION 10 the bereaved gentleman. We
saw a family which answered very well
10 his graphic description, a short time
since. IN this city. They were Just pre-
pairing TO make the fashionable tour of
he Canadas, and they did not seem 10
realize, In the slightest degree, the fact
that they were "running away from han.
pIness." 1t will be gratifying to their
late "owner" TO learn that they were
furnished, in this city, with good store
OF warm clothing for their northern iourn-
ey; aud that they seemed as happy
family as ever were gathered under
hospitable roof
P.S. The editor of the Globe will
confer favor by giving the substance of
The above for the benefit Of his patron in
Loudon County, and il might save that
reputable portion of his readers, known
In the abolition vocabulary as kidnappers,
who daily consult the slave advertise
ments OF his columns, some trouble and
expense, if he would just inform them
that the whole family had safely arrived
in Canada; and the only reward
which they can hope TO obtain for their
exertions will be the satisfaction OF having
done all in their power to restore then 10
the happiness" Of slave planlaton.-
