your Black Ink sufficiently long to ascertain that it
possesses all the desirable qualities which are neces-
sary in the employment of steel pens more fully than
any kind of ink that had previously essayed, and

has been already done by others whose certificates
are as satisfactory to though the experiments
had been made by myself

me, and am prepared to speak favorably of them

qualities which are requisite to give to the article
very high character. Yours, respectfully

For The Freeman

Mr.. EDIToR:-You, and your readers will
doubtless recolIect communication in the Free
man, of Aug, %, animadverting upon what was
then believed to lie cruel case of the forcibe alb
ducton Of slave from our State back into slave
ny. That communication was penned the same
day on which that transaction was related to me,
and substantially as received it. My informant
is an intelligent and pous minister of the gospel,
who tarrled in Hartford, (the scene Of the suppos-
ed transactOn,) the night Immediately followingit.
He related the facts in presence of five six per-
sons, including myself, and gave the names of cit
liens of Hartford, (some of whom | knew to be
men of undoubted integrty,) as his authority On
the strength of such authority furnished you thai
communication, recting the history as it was rea-
ted to me, and which myself believed to be the
true statement of facts, as did also my informant
for he remarked at the time, that there could be nc
doubt of the fact, coming from such reputable au-
thority.
But, Mr.. Editor, rejoice, for the honor of our
State, we'll as for the credit CT the persons sup
posed to be implicated, that the most revolving por-
ton of the transaction, as related in the commun.
cation above referred to, proves, upon judicial ex
animation, unsupported by evidence. | now Learn
that Messrs Bailey and Mutt were arrested imme
dlately after the supposed offence was committed
but were discharged on the ground that no force
was resorted to to reclaim the slave; but that sht
voluntarily surrendered herself TO the service o
her master. 1t is only within the last three day
that became acquainted with these latter facts
and avail myself Of the earliest opportunity t
retract all the statements and remarks thereon il
that former communication which are inconsisten
with the facts as herein represented. This | d
cheerfny, not only act ofjustice, in this par
tcular instance, to the gentleman supposed to hav
been CONNECTED in the affair, as represented, BIT
because also it accords with plain rule of dut
by which have ever been, and hope ever to BE-
actuated-never knowingly to be instrumental i
either circulating, or, when | could prevent
keeping in circulation, false report, injurious
