Northern Times.
Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1859-03-11 00:00:00

Slaves have sense enougl to set that the free negroes

are not so well provided fr,,r as themselves.
should they change cordort for want ?
Depend upon it, the curse of slavery is on the
master, not tbf, servant.
Look at the impoverished estates of Virginia, and
obserge how the hand of industry is withered by the
enervating laziness of the negro.
How many planters there are who would like
to rid themselves of the system ; but how ? There's

Why

the rub.
Who will pay them? and where are the slaves to
go when free ? To the North ? No. The North would
soon pass prohibitory laws. Ohio is nauseated with
them already ; They hang round the cities—look
about the streets—but never show self-reliance. Where
do you find the half-million free negroes of the
north? and what are their occupations? Are they
not servants, waiters, barbers, cooks, most of which
are employed by white men ? The negro is without
self-reliance.
There are thousands of acres of land, that can be
bought for a song in the west. Do you ever hear of
negroes opening up any new country ?—combining
for any worthy object? having any scheme for
improving themselves ?
Three millions of white men defeated the finest
armies, overcame the first Generals, and threw off
the yoke of the first power of the world, not a cen-
tury ago! To-day there are four millions of slaves
in the United States—possessed they the capacity,
the courage, the genius of the Saxon race, would
they not rise as one man for liberty or perish
[Professor Allen is not a negro. I have been
much entertained by his lectures at the Hope Hall.
He is clever, and has the good sense not to spice his
discourse -with abuse to America. He never was a
slave, and he deserves commendation for working
his way to a Professors chair in an American
College. I like talent, no matter what the colour.
The white blood in his veins is his passport to success:
He quartered the caste —First, Samba; second,
Muldtto ; third, Quadroon; fourth, Whiteman.
Some from all these classes are slave-owners. He
spoke of one wealthy Sambo who owned a large
plantation. Amalgamation will abolish slavery, but
you cannot make a white man in a day. The
chairman, last evening, at the close of the lecture, in
commenting on these articles on slavery, after
instancing Mr. Allen's severe handling and narrow
~escape from the Philistines of Western New York,
'because he married a white lady, as compared with
the freedom with which the Abolitionists could be
attacked in England, and slavery advocated at their
very doors—asked " Young America" if he did not
think free discussion on this side had a wider range
than liberty on that ? No ! First—l have not advo-
cated slavery, but simply took the field against the
favourite as a matter of debate. The Abolitionists
have had it all their own way for a quarter of a cen-
tury ; and it amuses me, and cannot harm them, to put
on the gloves, in order to try their metal. Second—
The treatment which the Professor received has
been occasioned by the continual interference of the
Anti-slavery party. When robbers are in the
house, it is natural to hide the spoons. When the
French peers talk too plainly, Napoleon puts on the
screw. When disease is on board, the ship is
quarantined. So, when Abolitionists carried the
sentiment of Emancipation to the point—
" Slaves, rise, and slay your masters 1"
schools were closed, churches were watched, incen -
diary tracts were prohibited, and self-preservation
occasioned that caution which was portrayed last
night. For all the Professor's afflictions I blame the
party represented by Mr. Jeffery. and Mr. Steinthal.
Should in-coming Cunard steamers bring ad-
vices that some wealthy planter had willed these
gentlemen a thousand slaves, I should like, as a
matter of curiosity, to see what game they would
pursue with the valuable bequest !]
