An ABOLITION KipSArPER CAUGHr.-A man named
Palmer, in Huron county, Ohio, was oyeriahcn, on

the Boston papers with which we exchange, OF The
expressions OF public feeling through our press, eXcit'
ed bv the outrage committed the rights OF citizen
Of Virginia by The citizens and authorities OF Boston,
is the following paragraph of the Boston Courier, an
Abolition papc., and the most respectable one Of ,ha'
class which we Will introduce TO our readers with
few brief remarks:

States with the Coast Of Atsica-the capitalists OF those

Well-the Northern traders sold Meir slaves TO the
Southern Planters property just Us they would nave

the slaves for Their use, because Their Climate was
favorable to tie labor Of the white man, and the negroes
would ONLY be in the's way and become nuisance 10

a much nicer perception OF the value OF money than
they have of that LIBERTY which they are SO anx-

had "yalue received" from the Southern planter, IN
DAYS of yore and they now mean enough 10 steal
back the property, which their ancestors lew genera

And here we find the Boston Courier sneerng, in the
most contemptuous manner, ut the attempt oi ctzsn Of

sachusets-throwing in his teeth the payment OF a
sum Of money, by unknown agent Tor run
away slave of which the owner had no knowlecge--
OF which sum, he never received cent, and which
did not pay half his expenses, costs OF court and
fees of office, in which lie was mulcted in his
abOrnrc attempt TO recover his rghts-leaving The
value of the slave entirely out OF the question. AND,
II s worthy OF remark, that the $500, rendered

or his Attorney, and accepted by the Jaor, merely to

and rather clustering call, but seems to US 10 sound
