JOHN A. INNS.

We had the pleasure of seeing Mr.. John
A.. 1nnis of Salem, Massachusetts, at our Of
fi'e on Tuesday last; the Philadelphia Mon
day morning papers reported him in the BAL
timore Jail on a charge of slave-stealing, and
so, sure enough, he was on Saturday and Sun
day last. How he felt at his release from
those shades OF death, we have no words to
describe. Knowing him TO be a sturdy and
bold abolition st, we had but little hope of his
escape from the grip of the %slavers. For
when law itself is crime, innocence affords no
confidence. He was, it seems, travelling
fiom Washington City homeward, accompan-
led by a free colored man who has long lived
in the District of Columbia. At Baltimore,
as at Washington City, he purchased tickets
at the railroad Office Tor himself and John,
who could pass these gentry only as Mr.. In
MISS servant.
At Baltimore, however, the lynx-eyed man.
| thieves, employed as police officers, at once
discovered that he had nothing of that bowie
knife buster Of bearing that distinguishes the
Southern Baron, and this was enough to fast
en- suspicion of slave stealing upon him
He was arrested, examined and committed to
the city Jail for further examination. There
he lay until on Monday a dozen letters from
friends at Washington, all testifying that
John was always ''taken, deemed, reputed
and held" 10 be a freeman at the Federal ci-
ty, arrived at Baltimore, and Mr.. lnnis was
discharged by the committing Magistrate
But John, poor John, thus proved to be a
freeman is kept in Jail probably for sixty
days to await the leisure of the law for the
appearance of his owner, and then to be sold
for his Jail fees if not paid by himself or by
his benevolent friemds!!
How glad we are that we never did make
"a Fourth of July oration." 1t would have
been such a lie-such a web of lies as no re-
p~entance could atone for-as it is, we ask
the wide worlds pardon for our once child
ish pride in the name of American citizen
For this thing of being born with the decla-
ton of independence in ones pocket, and be-
ina taught to talk a.bout our Washington,
Warren, franklin, and Adams, makes such
a fool of a boy that he sometimes thinks him
self a freeman. Heaven help us; we are born
lust where it happens-some of us black and
others white; the one set slaves and the 9TH
or tyrants But few have the luck to turn
up Indians and so escape the villany and viii
lanage of American Nativeism.
So situated, we are too familiar with our
doom to he surprised at the facts in Mr.. In
MISS story. which we have already noticed,
but we were not quite prepared for his ac-

Wherefore are these men incarcerated!
Not for any crime; but for acts on which

best that human beings are capable of. Net
for violating the law Of God, but for fulfilling
the highest injunction ever given to MN,
namely, ''as We would that others should do
to you, do we even so unto them" They
saw in the crushed and bleeding victims of
American Slavery nearly three millions Of
Christ's representatives,; hence they nobly
dared to open the prison doors of those that
were bound, remembering his declaration,
''inasmuch as ye did it unto one of the
least of these, my brethren, we did it unto
me-" For this deed of mercy, they receive
a felon's doom; for this Samaritan-like act, in
a land of protested Christians, of Bibles, and
Churches, they are torn from the bosoms Of
friends and the endearments of home, and
cast into loathsome dungeons, there to pine
in want, and perhaps sink prematurely into
their graves.
Though the declaration that ''all men are
created equal, and endowed by their Creator
with certain inalienable rights, among which
are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness,"
is annually endorsed and acknowledged to be
the nations political Chart, yet we behold i'm

police pleases TO waylay and detain against
his will. Verify, the modern feudalism Of
the south seems to be a very faithful copy Of
all that was mean and cruel in the ancient,
lacking only the real chivalry and magnanim-
ity that gave it all its barbarous dignity. IL
any thing could restrain a decent man from
negro-stealing, the Baltimore Jail would do
il. We would be afraid of being suspected
of such a thing or of any thing else, indeed,
if we must lie there until the day Of trial.
Mr.. Innis speaks very favorably of the COM
hitting magistrate, Mr.. Gray, and of his fell
low prisoners; they were gentlemen. The
man-catchers and the man merchants that
crowded the Squire's office behaved them
selves like so many blackguards and r%ufiians.
We will not trouble the State of Maryland
to strip those fellows of their authority and
turn them out of office-we will attend to that
ourselves, so soon as we get Congress a lit
tie reformed, and a freeman in the Presidents
chair; but we do respectfully request the poll
ice of Baltimore to oblige us by taking up in
turn every citizen of that city and combining
him in that cell for one day and night on sus-
picion,-say Of original sin,--to be fed and
lodged in the manner now provided by the
city authorities for strangers, and let them be
released by the committing magistrate sum

guilt-that't all.-.4mericdn Citizen.
