Mr.. K | have carried your letter of the 28th
ult in my hat for several days, awaiting an oppOr-
tunity to answer it. l now seize the first oppor-
tune moment, and, as yours is one of class with
which am frequently favored l will send you my
reply through The TRIBUNE, wshin, it regarded
as general answer to all such applications.
Let me begin by frankly stating that am not
engaged in the Slave Trade, and do not now con
template embarking in that business but no man
can say confidently what he may or may net be.

so frank and stra ght forward, that | prefer to

gent, capable, deserving woman from Slavery to
Freedom? Are you not proposing to do this in a
manner perfectly lawful and unobjectionabe, in
volyins no surrender compromise of Southern
Rights?" My dear Sir such virtue must not be
allowed to "blush unseen" Our age needs the in.
spiraton of heroic examples, and those who
would ''do good by stealth, and blush to find it
