felt the want of a word--an expression or def
milton of that hideous and monstrous thing
which so many deluded and miserable people
at the north are laboring to compass-the run
ming off, stealing, harboring, hiding and non
restoring of vagabond negroes who runaway
from their kind masters and comfortable homes
in the south But we have at last obtained
this word and supplied this want, not by our
own efforts or as n result OF our own genius.
but furnished to our hand by the duPes OF the
"anti slavery" delusion themselves, and IN the
whole compass of the Englishlanguage and OF
Enylish literature, from old Sam Johnston to
Noah Webster and from Shakespeare TO Slyva-
Cobb, there is probably no term or word so per-
fecty descriptive of the thing described as that
now in question. Mr.. Cassus Mercelus Clay,
we'll known abolitionist of Kentucky, has
written letter to the late "anti-slavery' con-
vention at Cleveland. in which he says they are
engaged in work of Heathen PhlanthroPyl
| Is it not, indeed, most true? Is it not per-
feet and truthful definition Of the work these
traitors TO their blood as well rs to their coun-
try are now engaged?
Let us see-let us contemplat for a moment
the thing thus defined by Mr.. Clay-the work
that these benighted dupes or traltorous tools
of the enemies Of democracy are row engaged

dishonesty in refusing to fulfil their duties 10
their southern brethren while reaplng tor them
selves all the benefits of the common Union,
nor their fathlessness to the cause Of democ-
racy and frae institutions, their treason, in fact.

examining the matter from the stand point OF
negro well being alone, let US see what it Is
that, that hoary headed old monster. Glddlngs.

gagged in Ohio. 1t it certainly possible that
cruel master as sometimes cruel father to his
: child, impels negro to abscond from his home.
but is reasonable to suppose that vast MAORI

either idle vagabonds who expect TO escape
from labor or what is still more probable, they

u stands the negro nature, knows that this negro
