Beware Of Them.

II the citizens of Berkeley County wish to
protect their property from the grasp ofthe
plsiiaahropie inhabitants Of the City OF PITTS
BURG, they cannot too carefully or arduous-
ly watch the man9uyers Of the people Of thai
City. There are now several free negroes 10
this County, just from Pl,,sburg, who have
come under the pretence o! visiting their friends
and relations, but who, in fact, have come, or
hare been sent, for another purpose They
have not come on visit To their relations, b.;
have been sent here by tho ABoLriosIsrs
Of that City, with The "ways and means" to
impart and distribute TO all their ''colored
brethren" who may wish 10 depart hence ''be-
tween two days" without the ''leaye or IL
license" other owners or masters.
A similar risit was made here by a set Of
these "free and happy" souls year or two
since, when some of our citizens experienced
the effects Of their sojourn amongst us by the
elopement OF some very valuable and well-dis-
posed servants.
Beware, then, Of these colored gues!s now in
our County. The good people Of Plusburg
are very kind hearted, philanlhrop,c com
muRiiy, and differ very much from our way
Of thinking. They seem to have different
version Of the "Holy Writ" from hat Of ours,
as they learn fiom that good book that "rob-
berry is no sin," while we learn just the reverse.
