The Antislavery Reporter has an article in condemnation of the nlleged falsehóod ond doublé dealing eaid to havo been used by Miss Webster to procure her re?ease. When nt the Boston Convention, a statement in her behalf was made by a f "rieml, that she was an Abolitionist before she wnt to Kentucky, and cot a Coiunizationist: that she more than once aided in the escape of 6laves, and especially those whose escape she was condemn ed for aiding. Yet the Editor shows by quo tationn from her book, and publiahed letters, that she wrote (o her counsel, and lo the Gov ernor of Ken'.ucky, expresaly declaringr, in various phrases, that she was entirely innocent of the crime laid to her charge. When applying fr a neev triol, she conveyed a similar impression by her langunge, although then under oath.The Reporter jnstly reprobates this falsehood and deception as being greatly injurióos to the antislavery cause. We can be reepecied by the Slaveholders only as we are truthful and sincere. Whatever e!se moy be ■aid of Abolfcionists, the'tr veracity should be unquestionable. Gov. Owsley, pon rending her tatements before the Boston Oonvention, will have just reason to consider himself impotcd npon and insuited by her solemn and repeated protestations of innocence.
