Attorney for this District and understand there are
acme half dozen Deputy Msrsbas from different parts
of the State who are ssunterDg abont.
We suppose Mr.. Spencers visit here was IN relation

with violation of the Post Office laws but II IS mtl-
mated that he is striking at higher game ana that MS

From The Rochester Democrat 2itt
It's understood that L. ). Attorney qua Oh WASH
ppton and other Federal officers, were here yester-
dsy; aud il is supposed they came hither Tor tne pui
nose Of arrestpg Fred Dougsss for his alleged Psru'
cips,ion in the organized scheme against the slave
holding States, OF which the Hapers Ferry nsq haH
ion Was but one of the appointed results Such being
the preys;lips impression We have taken little pains
to inquire whether Fred likely to be esGsnt; or
of the officers supposed to be in quest of him. we are
told that he is safe;" in other words, that ne Is
sready outside of the Urted States. This information
NAV be true and may not be. But 1t likely 70 DC
true since il is 30 essy matter to gofrom Rochester 10
Canada either by Buffalo Niagara, or other routes.
However we do not pretend to be accurately posted
and would not have the United States officers rely
upon our information so implicitly as TO monty ther
oueIaiions in the least.
TIE Rochester Union Of the 9th says:
ave are assured that he (Douglass) was in Canada,
rear the Suspension Bridge, day or two since ana
there intimsted TO a Rochester gentleman that ne
thought il wis beat for him to remain where ne was
f,r lie present. We do lot believe that any attempt
oil be made to take Douglass ont of New-fork.
