B(L)AoGGAMMoN.--Ah hyorite method of raj
sing the wind with African gentlemen, lately, is
that of palming themselves off either as fIgi-
tives from slavery, or having wives, mothers, or
sisters in bondage, whose freedom thoy are anx
ioas to purchase. A week or too since, one of
these shadowy gentlemen made his appearance
in the quiet town of Orange, in this county, and
was quite successful in getting fundS-he repre-
s3nting that he had been slave upon South
ern plantation, but had run away from his ty-
ranica master and was now in need Of means
to get to Canada. He had just left Warren, he
said, where he had been recognized by his mas
ter, who fired revolver at him. and made some
other very serious demonstrations His master
had been arrested in Warren and committed to
iail in default of bail The numerous dupes Of
his ''cunningly devised fables" were not over
well pleased on learning that he was a worth
less scamp who had, perhaps, never seen Sou
thern plantation, and when it would be dam
age to slavcholdes to own. OF course, his
stories were fabrications for the purpose o
working upon the morbid sympathy of the over
credulous. -Plaindealer, rsEaa

Governor SewaTd---,A Remarkable
i. sstter3

The Cincinnati Enquirer unearths the follow
ing truly remarkable letter, written by Gov.
Seward. Weinvite the special attention of our
Re, publican friends to its 'pro-slayery positions.
What will they say to it?
One of the most distinguished and able Re-
publican leaders is, doubtless William H. Sc
ward, u. s. Senator from New York. A remi-
nicence in the shape Of a letter. has been re-
Gently revived Of him. which on account Of its
sensible views, we'll deserves republication. lie
was then, in 1898, candidate for Governor of
the State, against VIM. l.. Marcy. letter
was written.to him by some Abolitionsts, in
quring if he was friendly to the repeal OF the
law-then in force in New 4ork-which per-
mitted Southerens, in their journeys through
tile State to bring with them their coloIed Ser
wants, and hold them, without molestation, for
a limited period. To this inquiry Mr.. Seward
returned an answer as follows:
"Bnt, gentlemen, being desirous to be entirely
candid accommodations, it is proper to say
that am not convinced it would be either ,0jse,
erDe l5ent of h9naRe to declare to the ctiEens OF
the South or South Western States, that il they
travel to or from or pass through the State oil
New York they shall not bring with them the
attendants whom custom or education or habit
may have rendered necessary to thom. have
not heCn able to discover any good object to be
obtained by such an act Of inhosptality. Il
ce1taialy can e0ork no injury to as, nor cdn it bt
injurious to tie beings in b0alage, to permit them
once, perhaps, in their lives and at most, on oc-
casions few and far between, to visit a country
where slavery is unknown. can evef conceiue q
benefits to tie great cause Of human E6e,tH from
the caltiUaton Of this intercourse t0ih the South!
| e. x
II will not press these considerations flowing
from the nature Of our Union ard the mutual
concession on which 1t was founded, against the
propriety of such an exclusion as your question
contemplates, apparently for the purpose only o
avoiding an implication not founded in fact, ant
which the history our State 50 nobly contra
diets. IL is s46icie3 to sag that such an ercl'>
sion c0Il haDe No gool ffoct practically, am
a0o,9l accomplish nothing to tie great cause Of hw
naonity."
| Mr. Seward has never 70 our knowledge, re.
tracted the sentiments above and yet he is oiTt
ofthe great leaders Of the Republican party
and delights to stigmatize the 'pro-slavery De
mocracy."

she left her fether's home to dwell with
one whom he loved with all woman's de-

congratulations were over sorrow had taken

suddenly called from earth to that unseen
country from whose bourne no traveller ever
returns. Bowed down with the weight of

hallowed by 80 many tender associations,
but sought in solitude the comfort she SO
much needed. Then came intelligence OF
her mothers sickuess-how day after day
she was pining away, longing for the sooth-
ing core, the loving tones, her frst-born,
her only daughter. Duty bade her leave
the place where no ties bound her save those
OF recollection, and hasten toyher childhood
home to minister to the wants Of aninvaIid

Home! she felt that it would never again be

heart was far away. Fail, mourning one,
