Judge Asley Sampson, of Rochester, n. I.
ccmmun Gates to the Democrat, of that city,
the following particulars Of a very curious
case of kipnlpping which has lately came tc
light:
Henry Dixon, colored man, formerly a
blacksmith in Rochester, afterwards barber
in Auburn, and finally hack driver in Wash
ington, while stopping at railway station be-
tween Washington and Baltimore, about a
year since was seized as he lay in bed, by
some unknown ruffians, taken to a slave pen
and sold to a planter in Macon, Georgia
From that place he wrote a letter to his
friends at the North, begging that they would
take measures to liperate him from bondage
Neither Henry nor his friends were ever
slaves. They were born free. Application
was made to the Governor of this State, un-
der a statute law, by which he is authorized
in such cases to appoint an agent to go and
demand and reclaim free citizen, so Illegally
held in bondage. Governor Clark expressed
q deep interest in the case, and promptly ap-
pointed, as such agent, gentleman living In
Auburn, who proceeded to Macon, and found
the residence of the individual designated by
Henry in his letter, but found that about the
time or shortly after the writing of the letter.
he had sold Henry to some person and to
some part of the country unknown. BY the
advise and with the assistance of legal coun
sci, various frutless efforts were made to as
certain either the then owner or his residence
The counsel finally advised the agent to re
turn home-they promising to IN ke sti
further efforts to ascertain where he was, il
order TO reclaim him. They have recently
written that all efforts to ascertain either thu
owner of Henry or his residence, have failed
The former owner, who is represented to be
heartless unpnncipled man, refuses-or ob
vious reasons--to give any Information. Ii
Offers. however, for the sum Of 500. to re
purchase Henry and deliver him to his friends
that he may be restored to freedom. He Wi
do this for $780, and nothing less. He n,u
