How much truth there was in the "constable's" story to the effect, "that

a colored man in Philadelphia, who professed to be a great friend of the

colored people, was a traitor, etc.," the Committee never learned. As a

general thing, colored people were true to the fugitive slave; but now

and then some unprincipled individuals, under various pretenses, would

cause us great anxiety.
