Milwaukee (WI) Sentinel, "Jack Frost Turned Abolitionist," February 11, 1857

   JACK FROST TURNED ABOLITIONIST.––The Cincinnati Gazette of the 6th instant says:

   The recent freeze-up of the river has afforded unequalled facilities to negroes disposed to migrate to a more northern clime. Six "Chattles" belonging to one family, set out from Covington to Canada a few nights since, and numerous other stampedes have taken place along the line of the river. Many persons sent their negroes to the interior for safe keeping. We fear our Southern neighbors will soon be voting the Ohio river a nuisance, and pass resolutions of indignation against Dame Nature for aiding and abetting the Abolitionists.
