N.R. JOHNSTON.

P.S. When I was in New York last Fall, October, I was in the

Anti-Slavery office one day, when a friend in the office showed

me a dispatch just received from Philadelphia, signed W.S.,

which gave notice of "six parcels" coming by the train, etc. And

before I left the office the "parcels" came in, each on two

legs. Strange parcels, that would run away on legs.

My heart leaped for joy at seeing these rescued ones. O that God

would arise and break the yoke of oppression! Let us labor on

and ever, until our work is done, until all are free.

Since the late Republican farce has closed I hope to get some

more subscribers for the Standard. Honest men's eyes will be

opened after a while, and the standard of right and expediency

be elevated. Let us "hope on and ever."

Yours, for the right,
