Ithaca, where there are los black people, stated
that 65 who can read and write, are hunted as
cattle. Referred to Publishing Committee.
The Financial Committee reported through Mr.
WHEATON. IL related wholly TO the bail Of W.
l.. Chaplin His bail was $4,000 at Washington
$40 600 in Maryland; cost OF Court, counsel fees,
&c. s3.OOO-s2s 900 in all. The Washington bail
was furnished by three men there; $4,000 had
been raised by subscription; $4,000 advanced in
New.York City, to be raised there; one gentle
man in Western New-York had raised on Bank
paper. payable the last of February, S5,000i two
individuals in Western New.York had raised
81 900 on same terms one individual had paid In
cash $1,000
The Report recommends that series of meet
ines be held throughout the State, with view to
raise the amount pledged by these individuals,
and to arouse the sentiment of the State to the
necessity Of defending William L. Chaplin against
requisition of the Governor of Maryland
The Report recommends that this Convention
raise 1000.
Mr. SMITH thought it not best to pat In the s1g
gestion as TO a requisition from Maryland. ne
did not believe the Governor would do IT. The
Wings and Democrats Of New-York would not
stand that.
Mr.. HATHAwAY-who spent some weeks In
Maryland as friend of Mr.. Chaplin-was OF oPin'
ion that the requisition would be made They
prize so worthy victim as w. l.. Chaplin
Mr. SMITH thought it impossible that Maryland
could pocket the $4,000, and then, In such case'
demand the person bailed. 1t was too scandaous
for belief.
The Report was unanimously adopted.
Mr. HATHAwAY then went into history OF the
cruelties and insult attending Chaplin's imprson'
ment and bailing. He was at first thrust INTO a
dungeon Ia feet square, underground, with elSnt
negroes and one white woman, where he would
NOT have probably lived month. His friends
had to pay $50 for guarding him 80 nights, that he
need not be confined in a loathsome and nolsome
dungeon. The sentiment OF Maryland was socn
that the requisition would be made. The senti-
ment of New-York must be prepared to meet
such an issue.
A contribution was then taken up, in sums
ranging from 81 to $50, amounting to nearly 500.
