NOTES BY THE EDITOR.

/. Brother Holcomb insists that he "did
not misapprehend" the language of the Ad-
dress; ye: his manner of quoting from it
shows that the construction he puts upon it
is unwarrantable. His quotation runs thus:
" Take the horse, the boat, the food, the
clothing, which you require" &c. Now the
entire sentence from which this quotation
is taken reads thus: "And when too, you
are escaping from the matchless, horrible
6astile, take, all along your route, in the
free as we'll as the slave State, so far as is
absolutely essential to your escape, the
horse, The boat, the food, the clothing, which
you require; and feel no more compunction
for the justi6able appropriation than does
the droa0ning man for possessing himself
of the plank that floats IN his qray" The
phrase, $50 far as Is absolutely essential
to your escape" brother Holcomb leaves
out of that part Of the sentence from which
he quotes. If this phrase had been left out
Of the Address, it would have been d diff
tCtCuI tuluS lEOHl WHAT IL is now, enl'rely.
And then on the point Of violence, the case
Of the drowning man, brought for illustra-
ton, modifes the view as to The manner and
character of the taking, on which brother
Holcomb lays SO much stress. And this
illustration is left out Of his quotation.
insist upon it that the whole sentence taken
together asks for nothing which brother
Holcomb would not want his daughters to
"fake" if they were in the same cireum-
stances with the slave. ~ :...
(2} This is an important admission
What ! have commended for was the moral
right of the slave to what he stood in per-
ash'ng need of during his escape. have
never supposed, for moment, that brother
Holcomb would contend for the legal claims
against the slave, which clash with moral
right. The slave is held in his. dreadful
prison-house of bondage legally. Wives
and husbands, parents and children are torn
asunder legally. The escaping fugitive is
chased and dragged back legaliy-and then
every outrage which revenge and fiendish-
mess can invent is inflicted legally. II

THE ADDRESS TO THE SLAVES.

Orson S. Murray will offer few
thoughts on your remarks following my
article in the Telegraph of March 25d,
respecting the Address to the Slaves; and
should you see fit you may publish them.
You seem to think Inexperienced the
spirit and teaching of the Address on
the point touched. You say, 70 palmer
or stronger language could be used against
stealing than the Address contains
think l did not misapprehend on the point
named; but as viewed it, there was an
inconsistency in giving the slaves such
pious instl uction-cautioring them strong.
ly against stealing and in The next breath
saying to them, take the horse-the boat
- the food the clothing, which you re,
quire, &c. Here We have no caution
against using UioLent means to obtain the
horse, the boat, &C., but the fleeing slave
is told to take them (whether the owner
consents or not; and, as infer, regard
less of consequences.) O
did not design to discuss the question
of the moral right fugitive NIGH: hav,
to take such things as he might need tt
help him on his journey. l2) but to Civ,
your readers to understand that though
they might just as well have cautione,
the slaves agains, fighting 70. their free
dom, and then told them to knock down
lor disable all who should try to imped
their progress, while escaping. (3)
