THE sLAvE.HUNTERs ON THE TRACK
AGAIN

We are led to believe that the slave-hunters are
again on the track in this city but we venture to
say their neiarious schemes will not be successful
the property" which they searching for having
already passed along the Underground Railroad, to
place Of safety. 1t is probably great exhibition
Of 'chivalry" in Virginia eyes, for Southern
STAKEHOLDER and kidnapper to come here in disguise
and sneak and skulk around our city, like thief
in pursuit Of men who have escaped from bondage
but tastes do differ, and the slayc-caching sReaks
find New Bedford poor hunting-ground. Hadn't
the "chvalry" better get up another Indignation
meeting at Portsmouth Virginia Is il the act of
"leyying war" for a slave to escape from bondage
Reference may be had to George #. Curtis, or the
junior editor Of the Boston PoSt.-NeO Bedford

AIDING SLAVES TO EscAPE.-Washbum Ashby, n
white man, was yesterday, according to appoint
ment of the previous day, examined before the
Mayor, on charge of aiding slaves to escape from
this city to the North. 1t is believed he has been
concerned in the escape of several who have re-
comfy disappeared; but the evidence at present
does not seem to be conclusive, point to more
than one case. In the pockets of negro who was
arrested a few nights ago, in company with several
Others all fitted out with bundles of clothes for a
journey, the following receipt was found in the
handwriting Of Ashby:
"Received of Fleming jackson, the just and
lawful sum of $780, which shall be paid back to
him on the 10th of the month. or sooner if wanted
WAsnDURN AsHBY."
"April, 1854"
In the pocket of another one of the negroes NJ
rested while making off, was the following letter
addressed to Ashby;
"NEw York, April 8, 1854
