no service Tor nearly year past, but have
given 10 her her time in consideration of her
having a young child. This woman obtained
employment in the family Of Mr.. Smith On
Friday last she came to my house and carried
off and concealed the eldest Of her two chill
dren. a girl nine years old. An ineff ,ctual
search was made for the woman during Friday
night at three of her haunts, but no inquiry
even was made for her by me at the house of
Mr. Smith on Friday evening; but on Saturday
morning. having received information which
induced me to believe that she was at Mr..
Smiths house, / went alone to his door, and
after some few moments delay, during which
tnere was neither resistance nor contention,
obtained an interview and received from him
an assurance, upon which / rely with entire
confidence, that he was wholly ignorant that
she was slave woman, or that I, or any one
mad claim to- or right of control over her.
Inc question of ownership was not for me-
ment mooted between Mr.. Smith and myself;
nor was my right to reclaim the woman and
her children ever questioned by Mr. Smith,
80 tar as L know or believe, there or ELSEWHERE
The child was released from the confinement
in which she had been kept during the night
previous, but not at the house of Mr. Smith.
and l forbore to arrest the mother, which /
had contemplated only as a measure of coer.
cion, to obtain information where she had con-
oootou TIC Cuilu suOuiu mere state, tnat al
the room of the woman, found every thing
packed and ready for a start, and there are
circumstances which lead directly to the door
of proof, that some ten or twelve slaves, inclu-
sive Of this woman and her children, were to
start on Saturday night last, but being unsuc-
cessful in their attempt to use the facilities af
forced them for escape-foiled by the vigilance
of the police. The next step of their good
friends, the 'strong-mnndea sronse,,,' and
the ''hi:gker-kaw men," is to employ counsel
to prosecute their owners for their freedom
From one of these stipendisries emanated, I
presume, the article to which am replying,
and proud of his case, the public will proba-
bly,, ere long, be treated to liberal extracts
from his brief, and all. ostensibly. to vindicate
the character of one, who, upon this roint at
least, L believe to be invulnerable. l have no
desire to pursue this controversy, and they
who have provoked it well know it, but if they
will continue it, 1 shall not submit quietly and
in silence to the reiteration of the charge, that
| have attempted to reduce to slavery one en-
titled to her freedom.

The Union discourses over the trials
and tribulations of sc the Democracy for
the last twenty years. The same pa.
per rehearses the facts involved in the
case of the outrage on the schooner North
Carolina, Captain Thaddeus Baker, in
Cuba, in 1850, by way of showing that
this Government has more causes of COM
plant against the authorities of theisland,
than that growing out Of the Black War
rior affair. The Union further discusses
the probable effect of committing the
Senate's Nebraska bill, arguing very SEN
sibly, it strikes US, that it is by no means
indicative Of real danger to the eventual
triumph of the measure. b g.. e.
The Sentinel takes similar views of the
same subject. The Sentinel also argues
that the result of the Now Hampshire
election, shows that the great body of the
Democratic party of that State are for the
Nebraska bill.
