Maysville (KY) Flag, "Another negro Stampede," December 25, 1848

     Another negro Stampede. 

   On Saturday night two slaves, a male and female, made tracks from Mrs. Goddard in this city; and, it is supposed that several others have left the city and county. The deluded creatures are, no doubt, still under the impression that Tom. Corwin is yet speaking in their behalf at Ripley, Ohio, and have crossed over to make the acquaintance of their "colored brod-der." Tom is, however, at Washington, yet he has left enough Abolitionists about Ripley to protect and run off these absconding slaves.
