New York, May 23. . . On Monday the 8th instant, a lusty
likely Negro wench was delivered of a male child, who, in
memory of a notable Negro chief, is named Dunmore.
  Hail!  doughty Ethiopean chief!
  Thou ignominious Negro-thief!
  This black shall prop thy sinking name,
  And damn thee to perpetual fame.
(Query, Is not this, tho' an act of justice to Dunmore,
cruelty to the innocent Negro.)
