ACKNOWLEDGMENT.

SYRACUSE, Dec. 30, 1858.

DEAR DOUGLASS:—I wish to acknowledge through your paper the receipt of £5, which I have received from the Ladies' Anti-Slavery Society of Huddersfrield, Eng., and also £1 12s 3d from the Barnsley Ladies' A. S. Society. In behalf of the travelers of the great New York Central Underground Railroad, I would thank these trans-Atlantic friends for their kind remembrances of our suffering people in this the land of our birth. These donations were sent to us through the kindness of that [illegible] friend to her enslaved sisters, Miss Julia Griffiths.— Long may they remember her for her repeated acts of friendship shown to them, both in this and the Old World! We would report the Syracuse section of the Underground Railroad in good running order, with a good double track.

Truly yours for the right,

J. W. Loguen, Agent
