Emigration From Missouri

Last week ,ve mentioned that ten unfortunate stranrcrs from Missouri cnllcd on us on thoir wny to Canada. We stated the market value of these colored persons to be $4,1-10. The Detroit Adveriiser montions thcir passage across the nver into Canada. The last i Emancipator, pnblished in Boston, bnngs us the following account of tlie deparfureof a pcrtion of the company from Missouri. The iMissouri Reponer, March is, has the ■ following: "The Hannibnl Journal, of the lOth nsfanf jpays a negro man, the property of W. y' ) Beebe, and a iiegro woman, wiih l1Cr Uvo'clnl" dren, the property of Massena Garrard, resU ding ïenr that p!ace, were stolen, and run off ly the Illinois abolitionists, dhrtóg tiic precedingtivo weeks. The property" stolen was valucdat;1500. The plnmlerërs took with them a varioty ÖförticJer, bücíi as bacon bed ding, wearing upparol, &. It s supposed the? crossed the nver on the ce, and that the neg roes were hurried off immediately, on tho ; wny to Caniuln. The indignation oK the peo pie at Bannibal, ia excitad to the highost pitch, nnd we trust ihey will take efficiënt steps, not on!y to profeet their property, but to punish the rnifcre.ints who have beten engaged in this work of plunder." Now to appease tlie "indignation" of the people of Uamiibal in general, and Missena Garrard n particular, we heg leave lo nform all whom it may concern, that the snid woinan and two children were not stolen and run off by abolitionists. It is an imposiiion on them to make such an assertion. Sjavehol.lers often steal elaves, and sell them, but abolitionionists ncver. We cali on the Bannibal Journal to produce a single instance of the kind in the United State?. This woman thought. that a location in Canada would be preferablc to one in Shclby County, nnd removed accordingly of her own free will and ■ accord. W& suspect she made a judicious choice. Thore were many lawles?, vilainous fellows in her neighborhood. As the Editor of tho IJar.nibal Journal nmy conslder this os an "aboliiion vstory," we will support it bv tho following extract from his own paper, which weent fi om an exchange. The Hannibal Journal gives on occoutit of two cases ot' Lynch Law, which are said to : iiave lately occuned, in Shelby county, Mis ! souri: "In the first, a merchnnt of ilarion countj', who had n ji)dgiuen,t and exectition agam?t a farmer, for $40. levied uoon his stock, which wns sold, the merchant buying i: in VorglG, Afterwordö, the Dicrcbaiit sold the cattlefor .j; 100, and fhn t ried to enforce fröiri tlie debtor the balaiK-o of the judgment. ]]e una i sumniarily waited upon by three of the neihbors, tied to a tree; h'fteen hi-hes with a hickory laid on his bare back by each member pf Üi3 ccmiDittee, nnd directed to k-ave immt'diately, ïf lïot soo)ier. In the other cse, an inexorable creditor had söéd a poor man for iSliO, anr! Jevied upi.u all his property, refusiijfr indulgence. On the day of sale, the assembled reighborg re■ quested the ofi'icer to first put up wbat thpy i significnntly styíed "Judge Lyách'a horse" a fence rail with legs to it, avowing that the buyer of tho fiumr's property must take a riíie o: fie Jiulge's horse; tho creditor took the hint; and made tracks."- Kmtuckian. We send our paper this week to the IJanj nibul Joumal, nnd request an exebane. We understand fhat more emigrants will probably leave soon for Canada and should they come ihid way. wc might be able to reduce "the highest pitch of his indignation," by givinw hun timcly notice of their progress and welfare. But to be serious, we wish that a better understanding between abolitionista and sluvel'olders might take place. We bear them no iil will. We would not injure tlieir persons or their )roperty. They wrong their sl.ives, and when they escape to us, we give them shelter, food, and clothing, as they need The slave-holders would do the same, were they in our places. The Christian religión requires this of us. Why then cherish towards us feelings of malignant and murderous hatred?
