To be sanctioned by the free states if we admit Florida into the Union, while she cherishes a system which is both the offspring and parent of LYNCH LAW.
RANAWAY, a negro fellow named BEN; 18 years of age, rather thin in flesh &c. As I have traced him out in several places in town, I am certain he is harbored. This notice is given that I am determined, that whenever he is taken, TO PUNISH HIM until he informs me who has given him food and protection, and I SHALL APPLY THE LAW OF JUDGE LYNCH, TO MY OWN SATISFACTION on those concerned in his concealment. A. WATSON.
