SHAREHOLDERS COMBINING FOR NUTuzL PROTECTION
On the 18th inst. a large meeting of citizens
of Kent Co. Nd, was held at Chesterton, to
consult Upon the measures necessary Ter better
security Of their slave property. Judge Cham
bers, James A. Pearce u. 5. Senator) and
james B.. Ricaud, (Rep. in CongIess) made
speeches, advocating a combination to defend
their property, and to make COMMON cause
against those who menace it. The secret 4srun-
ming off, " of large numbers of slaves,-with
the completely of a man named Bowers, an
ayowed abolitionist, who was tarred and feath-
cred in consequcnce-was the immediate excite
ment to the meeting. The resolutions adopted
condemn without qualification, all Interference
with Slavery, declare all persons who so inter-
fere to be common uuisances and avow the de-
termination of the citizens to hold no inter-
course with interferers or persons who in any
way abet or encourage them boston Courier

A special plea for another must a~trocious out

or heard, or knew that Mr.. Bowers had any
completely with Slaves Was anything ever
proved? Had lie any trial? Could the Com-
Ter experience one such trial, By axes and nam
nlers it might appreciate Mr.. BIS trial. The
Conrier shows that its implication is that Mr..
b. was a very guilty person, and knows at the
same time that implication is false. lie was
gaining a livelihood by his own labor ON his
own farm, and that was an egregious sin against
Slayeholding. If with such al example before

might labor, and therefore left them, must Mr..
b. be tarred and feathered The Courier.s
statements betray the feelings and opinion of
the Editor that he was served right OF
course Mr.. b. had no rights. The constitution
did not say Z" the citizens Of every State shall
enjoy the freedom of each State''-so Mr.. b.
had no right to say in Maryland, he was against
Slavery and for freedom. But if he said that
and the mob tarred him for it, the Courier must
say that was right. 1t ought to show its high
national lickspittleism, by which it preserves
the Union! The Maryland delegation in Con-
gress need Toadeaters in the North and the
Courier Volunteers. The diet is evidently de-
lightful it is 50 peculiarly National. 1t is the

With the Courier there is no honor in con-
tending tor liberty, none in defending the right,
it must bow the willing knee to Slavery and take
Its yoke and do its bidding even to sustain mob
