For instance, what is perfect purple state?" Sut
LovengOod of Tennessee explains similar operation
with good deal more graphic truth and fully much
poetry, follows:

Under this head Mr.. Chas. A. Me;o,

of race that came off on Saturday last !
tween himself and light one-horse cn. w.
on one side, and a locomotive ON the ~
Island Railroad on the other side NJ
Meigs was on his way to church with !,

Franklin avenue they met the locomot;,4
which came upon them at fast rate. w;.
out any previous notice whatever. NJ.
Meigs' horse was very much frightensa
and started off along narrow side oath :,
furious pace. He says:
"Along this sidepath we dashed, with II.
locomotive keeping pace, neck and pecI
with my horse, and within six feet of us, g,
the distance of about one hundred AMI
twenty-five yards, when on seeing Som.
stone steps ahead, saw that the only chanc.
for our lives was to get down from this sid.
path on to the track, ahead of the iocomo
tive, and then to outrun it! With this via,
l urged my horse on and gradually down
on to the track reached it, crossed II.
track within six feet of the wheels of tbo
tender, and was about to turn nv horss
parallel with the track and in it, to continO0
this fearful race for our lives, which wa,
our only chance, when the cutter upset.
Mrs. Pardessus was thrown between tbs
rails! my daughter Sue just outside the
rails, and myself and my son were landed
in the snow thirty to forty feet further alonp
the track, outside the rails.
Mrs. Pardessus, by great presence Of
mind, rolled over three or four times. and
oy this means saved her life as the engine
passed between herself and Sue! within
twelve inches of both their heads! one on
each side of it.
''At this point, the engineer stopped his
locomotive, and it appears to have been the
earliest moment at which he made any at.
tempt to do so. By most merciful inter.
position of Divine Providence, we all escap.
ed with our lives, with some very severs
bruises, and the horse and cutter escaped
utter destruction, although both are very
much damaged.

New-York daily tribune. [volume] (New-York [N.Y.]) 1842-1866, 1857-05-12

The Richmond Examiner has & rabid article by
way of defense and apology for the recently en-
acted search law, the constitutionality Of which
the Legislature of Massachusetts, has appropriated
money to test. That law, it seems, was enacted,
not at all for the benefit Of the masters, but solely
for the benefit of the slaves. The Eraminr alleges
that Abotionsm has its agents and emissaries IN
the South constantly employed and very successful
in enticing slaves away from "their happy homes
"to starye upon the cold charity of the pseudo
philanthropists of the North" This conduct In
those pseudo hilanthropists is certainly no less
odd than it is wicked but the conduct OF the slaves
thus enticed from happy homes is still more odd
in fact absolutely unaccountable. One would sup
pose that these deuded and starving creatures aHak
ing to the imposition practiced upon them, would
hasten TO Nv back from the short commons and cold
charity of the North to the "happy homes" from
which they bad been enticed, or at least that
when sent for and diligently sought, they would
avail themselves of the opportunity so kindly ten
dered to them. But strange TO say according to
The Examiner, "when once within the borders oil
"a Free State, it is as difficult to discover or re-
.sclam them as it is for them afterward to find
food and shelter among their faithless friends
A most remarkable case, certainly. There must
certainly be something, which The Examiner keeps
behind the scenes, very disagreeable in those
"happy homes" to which not even the hesh-pots
of Virginia can entce these starving fugitiyes to
return, and something very laundering, too, in the
Virginia masters, who, with all the aid of the Fug
tive Slave laws, and such Commissioners as Benja
min F. Halett and Judge Loring-Of whom one
now is, and the other probably soon will be, at
leisure to devote their entire energies to the slave
catching business-are unable to recover fugtives
without food and to whom their JaithiesS friends
refuse shelter.
