much of crime there IL on every side,
and how frequently the slave aSsaSSinN

iail simply and for no reason than thai
the planters are Infatuated with the
PROGRESS of abolition and have resolved
10 meet it hy force. If this is their intcn

troops and police officials were sent in
to prevent slave instruction. No on,
Droposcd to arrest the butchers, we dc
not call them lynchers. rs lynch law is
infinitely above outrages Of this charac
ter-and no one seems to know who they
are. And yet, on the very day of th'
outrage. the prO-slavery organ OF thu
city published II call from six residents
of the locality for II meeting in Eccnzccnd
on the I'd, to take measures for thci
own protection. At the present momcn
the whole country about that town is il
state Of alarm for fear Of Il scrvile in

of sclf-prcscrvation. If the slave holden
wish to drive them to desperation, thei
let them continue these outrag2S AM
then take the inevitable consequences.
