Gated himself in the city Of New York for eight years

cause any fugitive slave to be secured who may be IN

paramount to all other enactmens whether State or
Federal There are thousands of fugitive slaves IN
this city and its environs and they continue to null
tply rapidly.
These being, at best very unpopular cases in this

the devil TO contend WITH it will be necessary fol
those wishing to his services to forward him

scrptye 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
