"THE RRsoUER. This is The name Of paper
Issued July 4th, in this city which is remarkable,
as well for its contents, as for the circumstances
uuder which 1t is edited and published Tue fact
that some of Ohio's first cizens are now incarcer
ated in our County Jail for the crime Of following
the noblest dictates OF humanity, is, wo are sorry
to say, but too well known. These friends OF
Freedom, have conceived the novel idea of issuing
paper from their prison house, through which
they may utter "thoughts that breathe and worls
that burD,' and like energetic men, have put il
in successful practice, the sheet before US dem
Onstrates
We cannot do better here than to copy the fol
lowing from the columns of the Rescuer to give our
readers au idea of the circumstances under which
| 1t Is issued
| After the political prisoners" had remained in
Jail for geyenty.aye days they began to tiud them
| selves possessed of thoughts that breathed aud
words that burned" We not only wished to utter
them but we wished to print them. Could the
! thing be done! We looked around for printers
| and found among the "prisOners" two rusty and
dapidated typos" one of whom had not handled
"s,ick" for fifteen years, Would the Sheril
allow us a corner Of the jail for u Printing-Ohicei
We asked him. Generous as ever, he replied

The genel 1us purchasers Of our old printing Office
responded by lending font OF Small Plea, and
the liberal Publisher Of the Cleveland Daily Leader
(the very paper which would please you, gentle
Ioader) added more, with other things, For g
1 "plaue" we used carpenters with the iron,
knocked out polioemau's club answered for d
mallet in taking proof" and for the other pur
poses, we could select pounding instrument from
"a large pile Of shackles which lay at our feet. A
fellow prisoner supplied US with 'side sticks,

d The Rescuer is edited by Prof. Peck, assisted /
I Nessrs Plumb Fitch, and associates and contain
y some hard hits and eloquent appeals, and is alt

y hereafter to quote more literally from its column
4! We notice in the advertising columns the cards
. several of the rescuers who have their busine
offices in the Jail premises, containing sever
II efthanded cuts at the doughaced hirelings Of Il
- Federal Court.
It The Rescuer win be issued semi-monthly, a
the fact that 900 copies struck on ofthe FIRST
70 arc all used up is sufficient evidence that 1t viii
