speaks for itself, therefore / need not add
word with regard to it, except would like to
enquire of our friend Daniel thatcher how much
full grown Kentuckian will weigh If their
boys weigh from lsO to 200 pounds.
But from the demonstrations here about it
seems that Bob is not the only Boy who has
been guilty of running away and for fear that
they may be lost, their kind masters are obliged
to advertise them.
Night before last there was party of IL and
last light another of s, paid our town flying
visit, and all passed safely ION the under ground
railroad of course) through, and am happy to
they are safe. Yes at least out of re ach of those
poor miserable soulless tools bearing the shape
of men, who have been prowling about these
two days seeking whom they might devour."
This very moment, now l o'clock, =. NJ, our
town is in arms. A party of 80 or 40, mostly
negroes all armed with guns or pistols, organ
lied this evening and arc now out on watch
Their special purpose is to protect Mr.. Quinn
and MIR. Parker, the latter colored, from a
Kentucky mob.
There has been from 30 to 100 Kentuckians
in town all day. At about daylight this morn
ing the bundles of clothing belonging to the
psrty of eight above mentioned were found un-
der bridge in retired part of town. The
owners of the bundles had been carefully at
tended to, and Mr.. Parker called at the bridge
for the clothes, but finding some six or eight
guns pointing "i into" him, he retired for mo-
ment but was unwilling to yield his right to the
clothes. He coolly informing the Kentuckans
that as he had the negroes he must have their
clothes too. This circumstance led the Ken
tuekians to believe that the negroes were Sc
creted near by. Parkers house was the first to
be searched then the Mills and Pork houses
and premises generally of Free Soilers. The
armed ruAians were greeted with merited in
dignation by the proprietors of the several
establishments they desired to search. Their
first efforts were to make their search without
consulting the proprietors but they were re
PEELED like so many dogs. Finally it was agreed
that one of the party who was selected as being
gentleman, and citizen of Ripley, should be
allowed to proceed to make the search.
Disappointed on every hand they now made
their threats amongst one another, which by the
way leaked out that they would this night mob
Mr. Quinn who drove them from his machine
shop, and take Mr.. Parker to kentucky and
make an example of him to other free niggers in
Ohio. 1t is to defend these mon that the roll
unteers are out tonight And by the way Par
ker is one of those bold independent men, and
full match for the Kentucky "boy." think
they will let him alone.
The aspect Of the hunters to-day was at least
ridiculous. After they have made their special
searches, they could be seen in parties on the
corners or promenading the streets and as you
would pass them you would hear them talking
about their negroes being in some particular
woods or cornfeld, or splitting out their venom
at the Gbolitionists. These men were not slave
owners-in fact many of them looked as if they
were too poor to own anything, save red nose
and bloated face They were the tools of the
Slave owner, working for the reward which is
always paid for the capture Of runaways, A.
