ourselves to this infamous transaction.
There have bceu, no far as wo are able
yet to trace the thing, two versions with
refereucato the place where th'tB bar
gain and sale" were consummated, and
also as to the party or parties to it on the
othcr or "purchasing" side. In the
Abolition organ hero it was asserted that
the whole transaction took place in this
city, and that Mr. ,. C. Ay of Cor-
vallia wan the person who paid the money.
Ly another version, as will be found be-
ow, the money was aaid to come from
Salem, but the parties to the transaction
