A SOOTHING EMOLIENT.

uty Marshal. Here is the balm, and it must have
been soothingi
From the Portage County Democrat,
Characteristics week, in speaking of the
young colored man who was in Salem with his
wife, a fugitive just from Virginia, and of the fact
that the master was also seen in Salem. we re-
marked, on information which we supposed was
reliable, as follows
'Shortly after. Deputy U. S Marshal Mckee, of
Alliance, was lowering about Salem, upon official
business"
Our excellent friend, MIR. Mckee, who is the ed
itor Ct the Alliance Times, Indignantly denies
the accuracy of the above statement. Though his
choice OF language may not be, in all respects, in
the best taste, yet we admire the spirit with which
he casts from himself the faintest suspicion of be.
ing a pursuer OF fugitive slaves. We regret that
the false report got into our columns. and hasten to
give Mr.. Mckee's denial in his OWE langeage.-
lie says: (See aboye)
We seriously and highly approve of the Demo-
Gratis correction of it's facts where it has been in err
ror, and cordially accord with its criticism on the
language of ''our excellent friend. but we cant
join in the admiration of the spirit with which he
castsirom himself the ~faintest suspicion Of beingshe
pursuer of fugitive slaves, because he does no
such things, And the Democrat pays very equiv
ocal compliment in supposing be does. Within
the last very few weeks Mr.. Mckee has made the
necessary solemn assurances that he would faith
fully discharge the duties Of q Deputy Marshal
one of which is the catching and restoring of fugi,
tive slaves whenever it is in due form demanded Of
him, and the Democrat in this amende honorable,
tells us he will do no sCch thing. What, does the
Democrat mean to cay that its excellent friend
Mr.. Mckee" will commit perjury? Why we have
never heard that the Marlboro fanatics, the Hon
orable o. p. Brown or the Rev. Mr.. Way eve
4 charged him with cuntem plating such a Grim,
. against law and good morals, and We dare say hi
superior, Mr. Marshal johnson, never supposed
him capable Of such an offence, when he conferred
upon him the appointment. We do not suppos'
8 any such thing. We presume that like many 9th
er patriots Of whom We have recent example, h
will perform this unpleasant dusy for his country
J. welfare with e~lacrity. And more than this Their,
are strong prescriptions in community, founded oil
y facts, that not only will the "excellent friend" o
the Democrat hunt fugitive slaves when duty to hi
( country calls, but also that he will perform tn
5 same Office under the fugitive slave law for intel
ligent white men, his fellow citizens of the county
