Abolition Negro Equality.

On Wednesday evening last, about five
o'clock, very respectable white girl, of
about fifteen years Of age, passing from
Media station, through wood south OF
her home, was followed by one of "Old
Abe's American citizens of African de.
SCENT" in the shape of buck negro, who
assaulted her, and attempted to gratify
his lust upon her. Her screams reached
the ears OF several persons at the railroad
station, who Immediately went to her res
cue, and when they reached the vicinity
they observed her fleeing towards them,
and the black demon running to make his
escape. They pursued and overlook him,
and the same night deposited bim in the
Delaware county Jail. The frequency OF
these practical demonstrations of Abolition
Negro Equality Free-lo veism, which is
largely owing to the teachings of Abolition
preachers and politicians, is becoming
truly alarming - West Chester Je6srsonian.
