Caught in his own Trap.

With all our adherence for the eallows,
We never pititd Haman as much as the ten
dercst mercy might prompt; but we have
thought, ever since We r adj his history when
a lluie child, that il any body must be hang

So We have .eli OF the conviction of Doyle,
who has just been sentenced by a kentucky
court To twenty yeats Imprisonment in the
penitentiAry for siave.stealing. lie was ae-
tive in aiding the stampede Of slaves from
Lexington last spring but having good rea-
son to believe his design was 10 betray them

their rpcapture, we confess, that cruel as this
sentence is, we feel much less pity for hin

as their friend, and whose ruin he had plan.

before he could coolly plan and execute such
an act. Yet that man so deformed and
degraded, is really more an objsct of pity,
than the slave he betrays. In our IN
dignation at his deed it is hard to turn

that he is our brother still, and with a pure
and good culture he might have been a bless

wrecked as he is, he may yet become good,
and make his life useful and happy. But
this is as true of him, as Of thousands of
others, Shareholders, and other criminals,
around us; and while we feel thai his act de-
served the punishment which the tyrants 10
cruelty are inficting, our worst wish for him
as for them is, that they may repent and
know the joys of "A noble and true life, and a
more perfect liberty than they can ever enjoy
while ehslaving their brothers.
Can any one inform us whether this Do9h
is the same man who attempted 10 start a
kidnapper's paper in Carlisle, some years
since, and aiterward kidnapped a colored wo-
man at Hognestown, and attempted to sell
her in Baltimore as his slave! The simi.
larily Of name, character, and business, has
led US to suspect that he is the same person.
