Earle s. Goodrich, Esq.,, Editor Of the Pioneer
and Democrat '
DEAR Sir The recent escape of re-
puted slave from his mistress in St. Paul,
and it's attendant circumstances have been
the cause Of much discussion and of sew
eral newspaper articles, in which yourself
and other editors have expressed your views
according to the prevailing sentiments of
your respective parties and associations.
Differing from you, as I do, politically, I
would not allude to this subject in its par
tisan aspects. Its political bearings are
insignificant in comparison with the right
and wrong involved init I trust, there
fore, you will not misapprehend my mo-
tives in addressing you personally, when
l assure; you it is not for the purpose of
applying harsh epithets to one who differs
from me in opinion. It is simply to call
attention to the subject, and to present to
yourself and other citizens of our State,
some of my views of the duties: we owe
to ourselves, as we'll as to those who come
from the South to reside temporarily among
us. &$n@3 q .:3Gh .:sE sJn4i ST5&Y1s (" \
