LOCAL. [heading]
A more convincing proof cannot be given, of the complete success of the late measures of Government, respecting the Bush-Negroes, &c. than the following fact: - the number apprehended amounts to FORTY - and the conduct of the slaves in general, during the holidays, never known to be better. These Happy results, likewise, owe much to the policy and humanity, that dictated the Proclamation of the 20th ultimo.
