---n
of the rrcnllemcn. "v.liu wislies to
sell ii in
elf aba slave for $loO "
Wc entered the store and saw-
a shoit
stout fellow in rags with a
c'luuteneiice
''
and no indication of ice.
"Where do you belong:"
"To New Yoik. I was born here."
"Don't you know that you cannot sell
xourselfas a slac in this State?"
"What am I to Jo? I can get no wot k 1 1
fan chad no breakfast I am almost naked;
no one cares for me and I have no friend
Is it not better to hate a good master whom
1 can work for and who will caic for me?"
Here was an illustration of the practical
benevolence of domestic African slaverv
while it exhibited the rank hypocrisy of the
abolitionists. They could raise $2000 to
jiurchcse the liberty of two mulatto girls and
vet allowed a poor black to otTer himself as
si slave tosae himself fi cm starving in a
free Northern State!
In addition to the scatching paragraph
above the venerable editor cracks eiery
hone in the hides of the hypocritical abolilion-
ists by other and still more galling blows1
of which we extract the following as a spe-
cimen: Here at the North the poor blacks arc
not permitted to work alongside of the white
man. We reduc.-d them to the lowest grades
of civilization by making them our servants
our waiters and our dependants. Once
they were permitted to follow the humble em-
ployment of carrying up bricks and mortar
but they were kicked from the ladder by our
white rcllow-ntizens. Ihey clean boots
scour clothes but are not permitted to sweep
streets they do not own or command a ship:
they are only cooks and stewards they are
not merchants bankers or brokers they
hold no public appointments and are ludcly
thrust fiom our cars ?nd carriages wc do
not eat with them or pray with them and in
our places of amusement there are pens and
divisions in which they sit by themselves.
Js it any wonder that they arc poor xicious.l
and the inmates or our horpitals and prisons?
And yet wc who persecute neglect and re-
pudiate the free black man here are filled
with holy zeal to make the slave free at the
South and deprive him of a home of food
mid clothing and of a kind;considerate mas-
ter; and struggle for that freedom even at
the expense of breaking down dividing nnd
destroying our glorious republic. Well
inav (ne black say Save us from our friends!
f'ave us from the pity and protection of the
political abolitionist !"

A GOLD DIGGER'S EXPERIENCE.
A correspondent of Use Ilonolula (Sand-
wich Island) Friend who Was out sur-
veying in the gold region and went like
the rest of them to gathering the "root
of all evil" gives his experience as fol-
lows: "I found digging gold by no
means the enchanting employment many
might dream it to be but a matter-of-fact
backachinji wcarysome work most
cb a "ly resembling for all the world the
heavy toil of a multitude of laborers ex-
