THE UNDERGROUND RAILROAD.


delphia, Jan. 4, 1856, from the Provincial
Freman-a Canada wsstaper. Speaking
Of the fugitive slaves, the writer says:
Dozens have passed on the Underground
Roa. during the brief interval since your
exit; and with bat rare exceptions, they
have been Of the most valuable, able-bodied
intelligent and brave Of their class. Indeed
IL the narrative Of come two or three, to
whom allude, could be made public, l an
persuaded that their adventures would ap-
pear Tar more extraordinary and thrilling
than any which have come under my notice,
not excepting the noted Henry Box Brown,
or the celebrated William and Ellen Craft
and Others.
One poor man who left yesterday morn
ing, in company with three Others, and
will barely reach Canada ere this reach you,
in order effect his escape, was Obliged to
swim the Potomac River on horseback on
Christmas night, while the cold wind, storm
and darkness were indescribably dismal
This daring bOndman, rather than submit to
his opprcsor any longer, pcrillcd his life as
above stated. Where be crossed, the river
was about a half u mile wide. Wherr
could be found in history more noble and
daring struggle for freedom than is here
eyinced3
The wife Of his bosom, and his four chill
dren, only five days before he fed, had been
sold to trader in Richmond Va, for no
other offence than simply because she had
resisted the lustful designs of her master,
being true to her own companion. After
this poor slave-mother and her children were
cast into prison for sale, the husband and
some of his friends tried hard to find pur-
chaser in the neighbOrhood but the mali
cious and brutal master refused to sell her
wishing to crafty his malice to the utmost
Of his power, no sent them to the place
above named.
In this trying hour the severed and bleed
ing heart Of the husband resolved to escape
at all hazards, taking with him daguerrcO-
type Likeness of hls wife, which he happen
cncd to have ON hand, and lock OF hair
FROM her head, and from each OF the chill
dren's, a. memcntoes Of his unbounded
Though sundcredD affection for them.
After crossing the river, his wet clothing
freezing to him, he rode all night distance
OF about forty miles, in the morning leaving
his faithful horse tied to a fence quite orok'
en- down. Now he commences his drcary
journey on foot-cold and hungry-in a
strange place, where it was quite unsafe to
make known his condition and wants.
Thus for a day or two, without food or
shelter he travelled until his feet were liter
ally worn out Passing many OF the inter
esting incideuts on the road 1 wii say ne
arrived safe in this city on New-iear snight'
about two-hours before day-break, having
been week on tho way. The night he
arrived was very cold besides, the Under
ground tram, that morning, was about
three hours behind time, which, IN waiting
for it, entirely out in the cold, member oil
the Vigience Committee thought he had
- well nigh got frosted But when ne came
TO listen TO 'he story Oh 'heiuS''i'e 'uner-
mgs, his mind changed.
Scarcely had he entered the house (you

Appointments.

We publish to-day a list of appointments
for this region, first of mass meetings OF all
opposed to the present administration and its
continuance under James Buchanan, and sec
ondly for Judge Morton. We hope these
meetings will be largely attended. and that
Judge Morton will have crowds to hear him
We are glad to perceive by this list of appoint
ments that Judge Morton will again address
our citizens on the 22d of this month. His
former speech here was decidedly the best OF
the campaign, so far as Indiana speakers are
concerned, and our people will turn out en-
Enthusiastically to hear him again. He can
make speech UNNECESSARILY superior to the
one Gov. Wright is peddling out over the
State, and is an immeasurably superior man
in every respect He is the man all good men
should desire to see our next Governor, op
posed as he is by an office graspng demagogue,
who regards his own interests first whether
those of State come second or not

ELECTORAL TICKET.
GEORGE P. DUNN, of Lawrence.
ANDREW W. OSBORNE, of LapOrtt
Vote for Fillmore.

fall men who really in their hearts prefer
Fillmore, would vote for him, his election might
be regarded as certain If men thus voted
their real choice we should now be laboring
with a certainty of carrying Indiana for Fill
more. We venture to say nine out OF ten Re-
publicans really prefer Fillmore. They know
he is in every respect the superior of Fremont
that he is tried statesman and patriot
that he did once please the aohole people by his
administration Of their affairs-that from dan
gerous agitation he wrought peace. In their
hearts they know his election will be the best
thing for their country How many Of these
very men say-"Well really prefer Fillmore,
but there is no chance for his election, and |
support Fremont who is going to carry every
thing" If all such men as these would but
just cote for Fillmore, they might find him car
rying everything, as he is now promising to do
at any rate Heretofore citizens not Office
seekers, have never allowed the estimated
strength or anticipated success Of other par
ties, to influence them to oppose the real can
didate and principles of their choice. 1t is a
ing, and freemen enough to act independently,
to rush into party because it better promises
to secure the victory We have as Wings
fought against great odds in Indiana, but did
we ever think of forsaking our candidates and
principles because the Locofoco party was
pretty certain to gain the victory? Move
acted like honest men convinced of the right
and determined to fght for the right. We
appeal to citizens who feel that their real choice
is for Fillmore to come out for him like mer
as thousands in this State have already done
Fillmore is stronger here now than his enc
mics believe, and he can be made nvincible i
the hearts that are for him but rally around
him. as the hearts of patriots around the flag
of the Union. We urge those who are oper
and free spoken Fillmore men to go to ,0orH.-
We are under no obligations to save any other
party by deserving our own, Strike for Fill
more and Donelson, and let your blows be
quick and hsavy till the election.

Judge Baker at Work.

The Vincennes Gazette speaks in very com
pllmentary terms Of Judge Bakers speech
there last Thursday evening. Itsays:
lie reviewed in part, the harangue of Joe
Wright, in most pointed style, exposing his
superficial arguments and in no manner con-
tributing to the Governors reputation for
learning.
He proved, most conclusively, that His Elk
celleney either willfully misrepresented the
history of the country or YVES grossly igno-
rant of some Of the well known and best es-
tablished events. His exposition of Joe's
scriPtural illustrations was most overwhelm-
ing, and showed up His Excellency in a most
unenvable light Judge Baker made plain,
straight forward, honest speech-much better
in all points of good speech than that of His
Excellency.

The little steamer Princess arrived at Scuf

and our fellow citizen, Mr.. Lewis Howes
stuffed his pants in his boots, waded ashore
and came from Newburg by hack. He says

deck hands and all, with the following result
Fillmore, 35; Buchanan, IL; Fremont, OOOO00
Of five ladies, four were for Fillmore and one
for Buchanan. The Buchanan lady said she
expected her husband would soon be for Fill
more, as he was beginning to show symphonies
and she was ready to make the change with
him any time! These ladies made Fillmore
flag, and none labored more assiduously than
the smart wife of the gentleman with Fillmore
symptoms. That flag is now decorating the
Princess, and success to flag and boat.
