A CARD


A OLlTION.--FONTAINE III. PETTIS,
n Counsellor at Law late of Virginia, having To-
Gated himself in the city of New York for eight years
last part respectfully tenders his Acknowledgements to
his friends in the South for their confidence and pat
ronage in various matters of business, and solicts
their continuance He has had much perience, both
in this State and that of Pennsylvania in causing fugi
tive slaves to be secured and will continue TO effect such
objects whenever called upon. His plans are so well
maured by having at his command the most effcient
aid located at different points and successfully har
monizing that he cannot but hater himself that he
will have complete in future than hereto
fore-indeed if clothed with full authority, he can
cause any fugitive slave to be secured who may be IN
the United States north of Mason and Dixon's line
All the statutory enactments of this State this sub
Ject, have been pronounced unconstitutional by the
highest tribunals 1t will therefore be that the
provision made in the constitution this subject,
paramount TO all other enactments, whether State or
Federal. There are thousands of fugitive slaves in
this city and It's envrons, and they continue TO null
tply rapidly.
These being, at best, very unpopular in this
quarter, Che having the Abolitionsts the flesh and
the devil to contend with il will be necessary for
those wishing to secure his services, to forward him
power of attorney, duly executed, and minuteiy de-
scrptiye Of the fugitive and also fee Of $50 to defray
preliminary and contingent expenses. His universal
charge for securing such slave is $780, and all
able expenses.
Mr. Pettls will promptly and faithfully attend to
any business conhded to him, touching his profession
All letters must be post paid.
