Curns, in Exchange Place, is likewise re- tailing the pamphlet.
 | As expected, these confessions unfold serles of most nontrous vilanes is there any good req mistrust the accuracy of the statements made. Ia early life, the slave Madison the confidential servant of negro trader named Blalev, and assisted him in extensive schemes of slave stealing, and other rascalides. plan was formed by which Madis0ns master to sell him often as he coud after which he to runaway and go back to him. He was sold in this way to Mr. Clay, Washington, for $500, and after joined his master in Baltimore. He was afterwards sold for 5000 in Virginia and agaiu returned as before. Near Orange Court House he that his master robbed the vault of mer- chant of large amount of money and bills, amount ing to sboul $sl00 GOO, and set fire to the building | which entirely destroyed On their return to | New Orleans, Madison sold to Mir.
