Lines on New Hampshire Freedom and Fugitive Slave Catching
A Rutherford-style ode extols New Hampshire hills and rivers while narrating a pursing scene of a fugitive slave hunted on New Hampshire soil. It frames the fugitive as branded outlaw, pursued by a posse under the call to return him to bondage, and invokes Kearsarge as a symbol of defiance.

John Scoble reports colonial crime patterns show whites delivering most capital offenses and blacks largely peaceful post emancipation. He cites low insurrection, growing moral and religious life, improved living standards, rising schooling, and voluntary generosity among freedpeople, with exports and agriculture slowly recovering.

The Captured Africans Signifies Piracy and Liberty Claims
The article argues the Africans arrived from Africa via Havana within six weeks, likely via piracy, and were not slaves under Spanish law. It claims they were unlawfully confined by pirates and thus held a right to liberty, challenging U S authorities to surrender them to Spanish authorities and noting potential inquiries and legal points on domestic and international law.
