county, were the individuals in whose possession
the girl was found.
Arrests were made, our best and prominent citi.
zens timing out 70 capture the rogues. Lewis and
Allen Young were forcibly taken by the people from
prison and delivered to the authorities Of Ohio,
where they will be disposed Of as the aggrsvasipg

perry fer within five days the city has been fired in
various portions Of the town and the alarm bell
cut; in the meantime, seven or eight of our slaves
were missing. This is intolerable. meeting above

ingsceres transpred which would not be inplace to

seems to inspire and all, under the brief and
thusiastic administration of Mayor Dobyns, who is
untiring in enforcing the law and maintaining eur
rights; end wherever his judicial talents and legal
experience is wanting, DC declares the city in the
hands Of the people. The law is somewhere in the
books, and the people must rule and protect them
Selves to the best Of their knowledge and belief on
the first principles OF natures selfdefence. May
his reign of terror never end.
