Slavery News Items

A colored man by the name of Henry Sparks was recently kidnapped at St. Paul on the pretense that he was a fugitive from slavery. None of the forms of the law even were regarded. He was seized by force and clandestinely hurried away. Gov. Ramsey of Minnesota has issued a proclamation offering $250 reward for the apprehension of the kidnappers in order to bring them to punishment.
