Phillis was, to use her own striking expression in a state of “great horror;” she felt, that nothing would relieve her but freedom.  After having fully pondered the prospect of her freedom and the only mode offered by which she could escape, she consented to endure bravely whatever of suffering and trial might fall to her lot in the undertaking—­and as was the case with thousands of others, she succeeded.  She remained several days in the family of a member of the Committee in Philadelphia, favorably impressing all who saw her.  As she had formed a very high opinion of Boston, from having heard it so thoroughly reviled in Norfolk, she desired to go there.  The Committee made no objections, gave her a free ticket, etc.  From that time to the present, she has ever sustained a good Christian character, and as an industrious, upright, and intelligent woman, she has been and is highly respected by all who know her.  The following letter is characteristic of her:

ARRIVALS FROM DIFFERENT PLACES.

MATILDA MAHONEY,—­DR. J.W.  PENNINGTON’S BROTHER AND SONS CAPTURED AND CARRIED BACK.

While many sympathized with the slave in his chains, and freely wept over his destiny, or gave money to help buy his freedom, but few could be found who were willing to take the risk of going into the South, and standing face to face with Slavery, in order to conduct a panting slave to freedom.  The undertaking was too fearful to think of in most cases.  But there were instances when men and women too, moved by the love of freedom, would take their lives in their hands, beard the lion in his den, and nobly rescue the oppressed.  Such an instance is found in the case of Matilda Mahoney, in Baltimore.
