Proceeding up town, Mr.. Jo.liffe was &C
coeted near the frst cross street, above the

10 the man saying at the same time, " |
" my name 10 Gsines. know you id

You came over here to steal our niggers. I"
Mr.. JolIifs, thinking this wac onl, the usual
Kentucky way, sad good nsturedly, /" Oh
o !, I came aver here to dine with my friend,
the Rev. Mr.. Sage" A crowd collected
around them and Gaines thrust his 6st
against Mr.. Jolliife's breast and into his
face, ,using violent and insulting language
At the same time, evidently with the design
OF provoking Mr.. J. to some show VI vi.
lence. Mr.. j., however, walked on, sur
rounded BY the hooting crows beyond the
Madison House, and finally went into TIN
berlske's store for protection
Undertake made some show OF dissua
dig Gaines, and even holding him, bmt

nation that "Jolliffe was q id nigget
thief, and that all those interested in mig
gers had better look out. Tor be had come

ing il was impossible to proceed TO NJ.
Ssgss, turned to the crowd and told them
that I they were determined not to PERM,
him TO 20 on, that he would return, aud ap.
pesled TO them for protection to the ferry
TINS gathering oil Kentucky gentlemen
tor there was q numoe, "A merchants and
respectable looking men in IL, with som,
,owdies replied with one voice. CD
you, you need not appeal 10 U.s." and laughed
| IN derIsion at the idea
Mr.. JoliYe was in great dagger OF being
seriously injured by tn crowd, when Nj
Warnock Ian ex marshal,) came up, aud e.
king Mr JoIAhc by on am, guaranteed Ia
SEE him SAFELY 10 the boat. Marshal Leu
took the other. aud they walked toward the
Terry, Games and the crowd following. A

Mr.. Warnock deserves great credit 10
his conduct in this affair. Though diffe
log entirely from Mr. Joiliffe IN his view
"a slavery, yet lac IL too high minded an
hnn"fsble a gentleman to permit eyen
psl,t'cal enemy to suffer BY mob vioienc.

also worthy Of all commentator.
