LATTO GIRL, named Lavinea, about
9 years of age, enticed away yesterday
morning from the house of Mr.. Hawk

TO THE ABOLlTIONlSTS OF
CINCINNATI. LADIES AND GENTLE
MEN:
| arrived here on Sunday on my way
to Wheeling, accompanied by my wife,
daughter, and the above girl. She has
been enticed away from me, | am told,
by a NEGRO HARLoT, ONE OF YOUR CO.
AUDITORS, residing on Eighth street. |
never expect to see the child again, but
wish to show you what zoe you some
times do for the poor Negro.
The girls mother has been for a
number of years my house-keeper, and
| W the whole family, and never in
tend to part with them unless to make
them free for their faithful services
The mother is very much attached 10
the girl, and it was with great difficulty
that ! got her to consent to let her come
wi h me.
The girl, | know, will not live without
her mother, and | have no doubt you
will attempt to steal her and her other
children also; that, l am determined you
shall not accomplish.
l cannot 90 home and meet the moth
er without her child, | therefore have in
structed my attorney to send the family
away from my house, and let no person
know where they are; and if the girl is
not found, to sell the family at a sacri-
flee, to any person who will take them
to the interior; | have likewise advised
that the husband, who is a highly valua
Bile servant, belonging to a merchant,
be Immediately removed, until his wife
and children are sold and sent away
from him. So you see, Ladies and
Gentlemen, what your philanthropy
sometimes leads to.
Yours, &c, d. P. SEAMAN.

The child was Of course free, being
brought here by her master-and she
simply exercised a right under our laws,
when she left the service Of this refined
philanthropist.
In Offering fifty dollars reward for
her seizure, he offered fifty dollars re-
ward for kidnapping, But, it was
enough to stimulate the a~varice Of not a
few wretched beings in this community.
We have heard Of one person who set
out in hot haste for the poor child, think
ing it a fine chance to make fifty dollars.
The Cincinnati Gazette, and Cincin-
natl Chronicle, both came out in strong
condemnation of the advertisement, re-
buking the author of it with spirit. He
overshot his mark, and has done a bad
business for slavcholding in Cincinnati.
1t is useless for US to comment on such
an exhibition of savage cruelty. 1t on
ly proves what We have always alleged
about the horrible influences of Slavery.
But, we shall take occasion in our
next paper to make a few comments on
the tone and language of the newspa-
pers that have denounced this chiyalric
southerner.
