Information continues to be received from
private sources Of secret plots in various 10

citizens Of the North as oppose q c&rciou

are as much to be respected as though in

cattle cars were chartered for them
on the Michigan Southern Rail-
road, into which about two hun
dred slowed themselves on Sunday
night, men, women and children,
bag, baggage and household effects,
and were brought to Detroit, arri-
wing here on Monday morning.
The cars were locked up after they
were on board, and not one of them
was permitted to leave for any pur-
pose whatever until they arrived at
their Journeys end. No distinction
whatever was made between these
human cattle and the other cattle
to whose conveyance the cars are
ordinarily devoted.
1t is remarkable that hundreds
of fugitive slaves should have lived
in Chicago during the last eight
years of Democratic administration
in comparative security, not one of
whom has scarcely eve been mo-

to immediate fight. What is their
