Samuel Johnson. Samuel Johnson was a free colored man in the state of Delaware. He married a woman who was slave to George Black. TheySamuel Johnson was a free colored man in the state of Delaware. He married a woman who was slave to George Black. They had several children, and when they became old enough to be of some value as property, their parents were continually anxious lest Mr. Black t which was very often resorted to under such circumstances. When Johnson visited his wife, they often talked together on the subject; and aeveral men, while they went in search of the fugitives. Some of Johnson's colored neighbors informed Isaac T. Hopper of these proceedings;o open the door. After obtaining the particulars of the case from Johnson himself, Friend Hopper cut the cord that bound his hands, and saideats and curses. One of them sprang forward in great fury, siezed Johnson by the collar, and swore by his Maker that he should not leave theold manner, and after some slight altercation let go his grasp.

I also remember his radiant and peaceful countenance, which told of a life well spent, and of calm and hopeful anticipations of the future. I love to dwell upon my visit to Pennsylvania.
