4 SERVED HIN RIeHr. The last Charlotte Democrat
gives The following account Of visit Of an abolition.
list to the Hornets Nest " and the buz which was
raised about his ears, warning him away to more
congenial atmosphere. Served him right. The
Southern people can tolerate no such cattle in their
midst:
DRuAAED OUT OF TowN-On Sunday morning
last man calling himself Thompson from Philadel-
phia, arrived in harotte and put up at the Mansion
House. During the day it was found that he was
tamper'ng with the slaves of the place, he having
approached trusty negro man named Elias, belong
ing 10 MIR. Sam'l Taylor on the subject Of freedom,
asking him If he did not desire freedom, that it
wrong for negro to work for white man, that
the negroes ought to be free, &c. Elias told him
that he had good master and desired none Of the
kind of freedom offered by abolitonists These cir
cumstances be- oming known to the citizens, a com.
mittee was appointed to wait on the gentleman G)
and examine his credentials. His baggage was
searched but nothing found in the way of incendia-
ry documents However, his conduct was better
proof against him than anything that could he found
on his person. When questioned to his business
in this part nf the country, he stated that he in
pursuit OF the twin negroes which were recently
brought from Europe to this country-lhat he
entitled to them and had come out for the purpose
of prosecuting his claims. These negroes are own
ed by gentleman in Arson county, who recently
recovered them) Thompsons story in this regard
was evidently manufactured for the OCCASION as he
certainly Was smart enough to know that he stood
no chance of getting the ethiopian twins. He could
not possibly have any thing like plausible claim to
lem.
Taking everything into consideration our citizens
b, came convinced that Thompson was an abolition
list, and that his journey South had better be post
poned for the present. Acco, dinghy about day light
Monday mo, ming the fellow was aroused from his
slumbers by that appropriate old tune 'hree little
pigs and short-legged SOW" sometimes known as
the 'rogues march, y and escorted down to the N.
c. Railroad depot where he Invited to take
ticket for Weldon and directed not to show his ugly
physiognomy in these parts again.
From our bedroom window saw that the b'hoys
did the thing genteely and maintained order. Mon
sieur Thompson has reason to congratulate himself
that he escaped without coat of tar and feathers,
but as the articles rather high in market it
not thought prudent to waste them upon him.
We understand that the spokesman of the COM
pany Zone of the politest in town. in his bland
est manner, asked the gentleman for his card when
about to leave. but having card, he gave his name
as !. d. Thompson Of Philadelphia, Pa.
We presume this was Mr.. Thompson's first visit
to the Hornets Nest" and as his stay was neccs-
sary limited it is thought that he went off without
catching the Measles or entertaining very avora-
bic opinion of the people of this section.
For the information Of the people will state
that Thompson is thick built man, probably about
40 or As years old. Look Tor him in the East. :"
