TO THE EDITORS. Philadelphia. fune 23, 1822. Gentleman : Enclosed you .will rcccit for publication, i; you think it proper, a Chatge lately delivered in this city, by, probably' the oldest judge in the United States, who treats a very delicate subject, 1 think with great wisdom and justice, and states circumstances calculated to have a striking effect The occasion on
which this charge was delivered was an
Triaid were slave-holders ; and it Mf 6 nen decried as reprehensible to en;a., ipatc slaves, and thus to expose t:icm to idleness, dissipation, and crime, as it is now to ho.d one X0 pcrf.cn Kjnc.cs more than I do in the happy cha:.g ( - - n without meaning the least rop.cV to others, I enjoy the agreeable refit,,0n that I never owned a slac. Yei I no clout tj.al former opinions wore us n ' -
scientiousty indulged as are those ol th
action for the penalty provided by law present day. Read our acts of Asscn bl-' for obstructing or hindciing the arrest or in early times, and it will be seen tha'
seizure ot a lugitive Irom seivicc. And the magistrate by -whom the views it
contains were made public, is a man who.
at near fourscore vcarj of age, retains all the faculties of meridian life doing, 1 believe, as much good and as little evil in his vocation as any member of the community. Low Hill.
