We have heard it intimated that a political aspirant, who was ambitious to represent the Abolition Party of Campbell County in the State Legislature, was so badly scared on the night the demonstration was made on the office of the Free South, that he swam the Licking River, thereby making his escape from those who were in hot pursuit of him.

His sudden immersion into the waters of the Licking made him so hoarse that he was unable to address the crowd in behalf of Mr. Bailey on the following day.
