that a southern gentleman could do any thing that
is not honorable!
The Old Col took Mr. Chinn, his body servant,
in whom he place unbounded confidence, with
him, on his second election tour, the time when
he and Van Buren, were beaten by Harrison and
Tyler But, like his son, he too chose to be
man, and left johnson at Detroit, CROSSED over into
Canada, and has resided here ever since. The
Col has written him two letter urging him to re-
turn to his service-one of which contained some
rather severe threats if re did not. 'Ludwck Da-
viess,' one Of Johnson's slaveholding companions,
has also visited him at London, and used his best
endeavors to persuade him to return. All these
efforts having failed, it seems that the very honor
able ex-Vce President of the United States, and
Newton Craig, keeper of the penitentiary of the
State of Kentucky, have united in an effort to
induce Mr.. Chnn to betray fellow man who, on
account of the insufferabIe cruelties of this same
Craig forsook him, and sought place where he
can be protected in the rights of fellow being
But it is source ofrej oicng that Mr. Chinn is too
much of MAN, to be made the instrument of ac,
compIlshng the mean, unlawful and internal pur-'
pose of these honorable scoundres.
"Patience," the woman whom Craig says the
old man set free, no mistake about it," is Mr..
Chnn's wife; but he does not believe there is q
word of truth in the story, any sincerity in his
promise to buy Daniel

merit of crimes that might be named) desires in
formation respecting Abram whom he bought of
Sim Branham,' together with his parents, "Peter
and Chloe" he had better come and make his own
inquiries; or at least pay the whole postage on his
insulting letters. Abram is we'll known to many
people in Canada, and stands in no need of assist
ance from Mr.. Craig.
CDR. Grahams boys, of Harrodsburgh," first
rate musicians, and very fine fellows. Mr.. Craig
is mistaken about the death of Reuben. He is not
dead, but is engaged in the queens service. Per-
haps Newton Craig may make it Every profitable"
to come over here and consult his red coat breth-
rem about taking him back to the land of whips
and thumb screws TO be made a brute Of; but
unless his negotiations should be conducted with
more decency than the one he has attempted with
Mr.. Chinn, it is quite probable he would be favor
ed with a coat Of close application. " Henry" is
keeping grocery in hourishing village in this
province, and is called upon to exercise his skill
in music on many interesting occasions George"
is at work with the Hon. J. G., an honest Scotch
man, and member of the Provincial Parliament,
who pays him honorably what he earns. Craig
and Graham may do well to consider that it takes
two to make bargain here, and if they "cant
take care of themselves" they had better make
application to the keeper Of the poor house, or
other source of public charity, than to apply
to those who have reason to- expect SO little
can assure you, Messrs Editors, that this is a Gu

mysteries. J. C. A.
