FRED DOUGLASS HAS AN AVERSION TO BEING
BAdaED.-The black Douglass, having had some
experience in his early life of the pleasures of
Southern society, and having no desire to trust
himself again even on the borders of the Poto-
mac, has packed up his carpet bag and started
for the Canadas. From that safe and cool re-
treat he indites a card to one Of the Rochester
papers, on the subject of the Harper's Ferry
raid of Ossawatomie Brown and his rifemen
and halberdiers, black and white This card we
publish elsewhere. In it Fred defends himself
from the charge Of cowardice made against
him by Cook, the lieutenant of Brown, and
retorts upon that valiant man Of arms by say
ing that he it was who deserted his leader and
precipitately fed to the mountains Fred &C.
knowledges that he knew Of the Harper's Ferry
project, but had too much discretion-the bet
ter part of valor-to trust his life and fortunes
on such q venture. Finally, he accounts for
his presence in Canada on the ground of his
