The Daily Herald

From the Princeton, (N. J.) Whig of Friday.

Our town last evening was somewhat excited by the report that a person had been engaged through the day in distributing papers favorable to the abolition cause, and was attending a meeting of blacks in the suburbs of this place at that time.—About 7 o'clock a collection of persons proceeded to the house where the meeting was held, and requested the person (who calls himself Silas Tripp,) to come out, which after some altercation he did, and gave up his papers, &c.; they offered him no violence—escorted him through a part of the town, with various expressions in reference to Lynch Law, tar and feathers, &c. &c. They conducted him to the west end of the town, and upon his earnest solicitation not to injure him, and promises not to be engaged here in the like business again, they let him go without inflicting any injury on him. He stated that he was an agent for the Philanthropist, Liberator, &c. copies of which he had in his possession, together with copies of the "Anti-Slavery Record," with Arthur Tappan's name written on the cover.

We rejoice for the credit of the borough that nothing more serious was attempted, this being the first ebullition of public feeling on this subject.
