WHICH NJ S HAVE A GO RESULT
NECESSARILY, WHEN THE SAME CAN BE
BROUGHT mo EXECUTION. Some

"These documents, first communica-
ted by the N. Y. Herald, are Of a
very mysterious origin, but sccordir G
to their contents, there cannot be
any doubt hat they proceed really

therefore ar well fit to fr,ghten the
Sou h. Ii y e'haps these means Will
not b. brought into practice in large
circuit, some attempts OF this kind
will be hardly considered unlike y,
and No slave holder can know vhe,h.
