tlemen engaged in the movement, We have right to
expect that, when they come together, all will be done
that is possible tor the protection of the ssveprop-

effective agency in the upper part OF Delaware for
the arrest Of runaway slaves we presume will be one
of the chief topics that will engage the attention of
the Convention
