Fayetteville (NC) Observer,“Another Ray of Light,” November 7, 1859

ANOTHER RAY OF LIGHT. – The following incident, occurring at the capital of Ohio, in the very centre of anti-slavery, speaks well for one of the effects of the Harper’s Ferry affair: -

CINCINNATI, Oct. 29. – John Tyler, a fugitive slave who escaped from Campbell co., Va., in 1854, was arrested in Columbus yesterday and brought before Commissioner Newhall, who remanded him to his owners. He was taken to Kentucky.

This was much better than the following:

CINCINNATI, Oct. 29. – The office of the Newport, Ky., Free South, a newspaper with Republican proclivities, was mobbed last night, and the “forms” of the paper scattered in the streets.

As the N. Y. Express says, this is playing into the hands of the Republicans, who will live a month on that “pi.”
