OF THEFT IN the case Of such appropriations to
their necessities as have claimed for your
daughters. And what have claimed for
them is all the Address claims for the fee
ing slave. The theft and robbery are all on
the other side-on the part of those who
withhold. The slaves des,itution and
"perishing need" is in consequence of hav-
ing had everything stolen from him all his
life time. And the people of the North have
helped the thieves and robbers in their dia-

no other, the slave is free from the charge
of theft, for appropriatlng to his "neeessity"
in his &c dreadful straits"
Brother HoIcomb scan see no possibility
of good being done, but many chances of
harm to the slave, should this advice be fol-
lowed" The first thing to be aseertained
is, 10 know whether the course is right
whether it has the sanction Of Him who
came "to proclaim liberty to the caplives,
and the opening of the prison to them that
are bound" This question being settled,
it will be in time afterwards to inquire about

THE ADDRESS TO THE SLAVES.

THE ADDRESS TO THE SLAVES.
Brother Murray:-You are aware that
when YOU first showed me the Address to
the Slaves, adopted by the N. Y. State
Anti.slavery Convention, | dissented from
the part which recommended that the flu
gitive from slavery take horse, boat, or
whatever else he thought the needed to
secure his escape to place OF safety
When you published the Address, you
said in your remarks on 1t, that 1t con-
tanned noble sentiments-the one which
came nearest to being exceplionable. was
the one mentioned above. | conclude
from this that you don't quite object to any
part of the address,, l have looked close
" to see how editors Of newspapers gene
rally viewed the matter, but do not recol-
lect of but two anti-slavery papers that
plainly protested against this part CT the
address, These were the National Anti
Slavery Standard, and the Philanthropist.
Now am so dull of vision that can see
no possibility of good being done, bul
mana chances for harm to the ve,should
this advice be followed. I think you
would rather take your horse and wag
gon, and carry a fugitive to Burlington
than have him take your horse withou
your knowledge and 60 there, perhaps
causing you a weeks time, and ten doll
ars in money to find him, and perhaps mo-
find him at all. And if you were opposed
to the abolition cause, you would not b
much more likely to be won over to tia
doctrine by having fugitive slave take E
horse without leave, when you knew thu
abolitionists advised him to do it. Ane
furthermore If a slave escapes and get
into this state by conveyance of friends
and is pursued By his former master, b.
would stand pretty good chance to &c
