IL The Lexington O5Serrer & reporter,
after copying ou' paragraph inquiring for the ev;-
dsnce on which Dslia A. Webster has been con-
victed of aiding the escape OF Slaves and sent
to the Penitcntiary, observes,
THIS besides teng rdcuou, Abolition twnddle is inso-
lent rnd insulting, &c. scc
The Edi!o, Of the Observer should be careful
respecting the peragraph phs which he allows other
persons to put in his paper, or he will rue his
negligence, aa we have often done. A young
woman from the North is apprehended, tried,
and convicted in Kentucky, ON 4 charge Of aid
ing Slaves to escape from their Masters-she
strenuously aud publicly protesting her innc-
cence. The euidenee in the case is entirely
uithheld from publicat;on-a course which
seems 10 US extraordinary. We confess desire
to see the evidence, and state that People
doubt whether she vas guilty Of violating even
The Slave Laws of kentucky This tho OBJ
server oddly pronounces "ridiculous Abolitio"
twaddc," and 50 proceeds through half e column.
The courtesy here displayed we concede, but
Who viii eulighten US as 10 the logic
Let US here, once for al, correct 4 misap2re-
hension which seems common at the South. The
Slaves by necessity are there, not here. We
claim a perfect right 10 utter our free thoughts
on any subject, and when a man or woman IS
sent to prison as felon, we maintain our un-
qualified liberty to inquire on what grounds
We conccde equal liberty to Others to answer or
not as they see ft and to answer, if at all, with
such courtesy as their breeding may dictate.
But our Lexington censor says;
he desire 10 see the evidence and the nsinuaton that
se was nfopery condemned. insulting because implies
IN erms that Kentucky could be provoked TO
treat female with cruel injustice So gfntuitols an ntla
the p"s;on awHTded women in this state or who himself
capable oi what he thinks others guilty.
Keep cool, neighbor! You mean ,ohite "fe-
males," we presume. We have heard of other
females being pretty roughly used even in Ken
lucky, and of those very nearly white being sold
by their legal owners notoriousy for prostitution.
All this would not be so bad-for there are de-
PRAYED men and evil deeds every where-but we
have heard also that the lalOs Of kentucky per-
NIT and sanction such treatment OF females
That is the hardest part of the story. We hope
it will not be deemed an unwarrantable intcrfer-
ence with peculiar institutions that we ardently
desire the amendment Of all such laws.
p. S-Wc have Just received letter from an
esteemed friend at Lexington Who informs US
that the enidence against Miss Webster ,0iH be
published after the trial Of Fairbanks. This is
talking to the purpose and we forbcar farther re-
mark.
