to consider the proposal for fusion. made

Committee were not determined as to
whether the rejection should be simple

ment of their reasons for refusal. In the
vacancy on the electoral ticket created by
the desertion of Dr. Serrod, in the 2d dis

abomInable outrage perpctrated upon
the person OF q negro man named Charles
aggoner, free man of Ohio. who had
been kidnapped and taken to Newport.

without any opportunity, of presenting
testimony as to his free birth, though he
had the witnesses ready. was condemned
by the Court. taken to jail by the Sheriff.
and then to avoil a habeas corpus was run
oil by that patriotic officer. and sold by ar
rangement to another scoundrel, who car
ried him away and concealed him so that
the rescue, already procured for him in tho
shape of habeas corpus, could not find
nm. n more outrageous defiance of law
and dccency has never been recorded to our
knowledge. The negro thus sold by con
splracy was kept for some time. but at
last the two scoundrels. the sheriff and the
purchaser, quarreed about division of
the profits. and told on each other. The
effect OF this exposure was that Waggoner
was found, brought back to Newport, and
on trial was declared free man. thus
