was a part OF the diriae purpose to put &c.,

with her however. 1t means to shower more
dollars down upon her, like second Dame,
for she has in press key to Uncle Toms

upon which that fiction is founded
Surely this Uncle Toms Cabin" must be
the most wonderful book of which there was
ever any account. Ii has not only ouisold all

The first proof of the mighty revolution in
favor of the colored man, at work in the United
States, under the influence of Uncle Tom,
must be looked for in Illinois. This State, oc-
cupying a central position between Kentucky
Tennessee, arkansas and Missouri, has been
literally overrun with fugitive slaves. These
have been found TO be idle, vicious and unm-
provable, and the annoyance they have created
has given rise to series of laws which have
no precedent in the history of American Legis-
lation, since the witch mania in New England.
For bringing negro or mulatto into the State,
whether he be bond or free, the punishment is

OF all the costs of prosecution. If any person,
not living in the State, assist in, or connive at
the bringing of any negro or mulatlo into the
State, he is to be demanded of the Governor of
the State in which he lives, in the same man.

to pay is sold for term, and all the power of

does not leave the State, double fine is ex-

double term. Ii any Justice of the Peace refuse

nothing of what she has done for them in the
slave States.
