PENNSYLVANIA Press ON THE PARSONS CASE.
We give the following extract from nm editorial
in the Philadelphia North American, to show
the view they take in that State of the Parsons
case:
1.-The aid Of the law not at all invoked. A
negro was seized without warrant so far as mp.
penred ut the time and it looked though the
kidnappeis intended to carry him ofino Virgin
in without any form Of law. He was known MS nm
old resident Of Blair county, and was not tho
slave of any of the persons who seized him. In
fact, it is quite clear that if Mr.. Parsons had not
proceeded Illegally. there could be no charge Of
kidnapping ngains, him. FEELING IN great danger
ofpunishment for the offence he. some friend
for him, has thus sought the protection of Nir-
gnia"
