So says the Boston Commonwealth, an abolition
journal and thus its fears and sentiments:
1t appears that the kidnappers have made arrange
ments for extensive operations in this State. Two
or three gangs of them are now pr0wling about the
State. They have visited Worcester, where they did
not stay long the atmosphere not agreeing with
where they felt sure of stealing colored man. named
Moore, who, they say, escaped from Virginia twelve
years ago; but they did not find him despatch
from Manchester, n. H. says he left that place for
c, NADIA on Monday morning. A few days since, a
fugitive, whom the boodhounds did catch, was found
In Lynn we are told, where he was taken on board

these foul pirates now prowling about New Bed
ford; it seems decree has gone forth that man
must be stolen in that place. The Standard, Of last
evening says:--
We are assured from reliable sources that an attempt
VIII be made to seize negro in this city under the Fugi
tive act within very few days. The arrangements are
already making and the declaration has gone forth from
the slave power that New Bedford must be humbled
well as the home Of the Adamses.
II says there is much excitement among the col.
ored citizens, and advises the poor trembling men
ard women whom these villains would steal to leave
for Canada. Slavery is king in Massachusetts, and
has but to say the word to put our soil under mar
tial law. Perhaps those towns in Massachusetts,
that may undertake to celebrate the Fourth of
July, this year, can engage these kidnaprers as
orators.
ANOTHER ATTEMPT TO xIDxAp AT LAWRENCE. MASS.
TIRE Exc rTRNENT INCREASING.
From the Boston Bee. June -
In lawrence there appears just 4 decided
fever to kidnap. The Irish are ferocious- On sun
day they attempted another of their girlstealngs.
While on her way to church, in company with some
children girl about fifteen years old, who lived in
the family OF Artemus Parker, Jr.. deacon Of the
Baptist church, was seized by her mother and come
others and the attempt was made to brutally force
her away. The girls, however raised an alarm, and
the kdnsppers concluding that they could not effect
their object, speedily abandoned II. The act, as
bold as Il was atrocous, created good deal Of ex-
element
Threats had been made for several weeks past
that the girl should be taken away from the family
OF Deacon Parker, by foul means or fair. The whole
cause Of this outrage lies in the fact that the girl
sometime since renounced the Catholic religion, and
has from that period been O constant attendant at
the Baptist church. II was this act-the exercise Of
q freedom Of mind and Of oonscience-that sent
these bowling Greeks down upon herr who thus
attempted to steal her at MONDAY, In the open
streets of Lawrence. We do not wonder that the
citizens are exasperated at such outragcs. They
would be less than men If they were not
We learn that the girl in question IL intelligent,
bright, and stout-minded. She thinks the Protcs-
tant religion worth dozen Of the Roman Catholic
sort We honor her spunk and her good sense. We
should Judge that il would take bat few moro such
acts as these to put ia extreme jeopardy those who
practice them.
