A NOVEL PRoPosIrIoN.-Me Kinsel
& Doyle, of Hagers,own, propose to publish
a paper, particularly devoted to exposing the
whereabouts of fugitive slaves. The News
says their plan is as follows:
"They have visited every town and ham
let in the State of Pennsylvania, and with
much care made arrangements with persons
disposed to prevent the increase of the negro
population in that State, who will write to
them all the facts which can be obtained re-
garding negroes coming into their region.
The letters thus received will be published
in their paper, and owners will thus be in
formed of the whereabouts of their property.
"Negroes," they say, 'who will not Tell to
whom they belong, often relate to our agents
many little incidents which occurred to them
or their masters in early life, which, when
published and read by the master, will be re-
membered. Thus negroes who have been
gone many years, may be restored to that
position among men which they are best
calculated to occupy" They also propose
to communicate iniormat!S9,pp AID tL otherwise

v ing such slavesas may make their escape
