ELOPEMENT OF AN HEIRESS WITH
A NIGGER.

The Detroit Free Pres—s, prol-slavery organ, thus
describes what it calls this terrible and unheard-
of calamity :—" An elopement and marriage took
place on Saturday which was a little out of the
usual line, sufficiently so, we imagine, to satisfy.the
most craving appetite for the novel and disgusting,
both of which we have—the latter in sufficient
i
quantity to turn any white stomach n existence.
A young girl named Sarah Judson, whose fattier
lives on a fine property a mile or two from Pontiac,
eloped on Saturday and came to Detroit. The
partner of her flight was a black man, who has been.
in the employment of her father for some. time in
the capacity of farm hand. The first. intimation
that the father had of the intention of. the parties
was conveyed by the fact of their flight. They
immediately crossed over to Windsor, upon reach-
ing this city, fully sensible that they could never
accomplish their unnatural designs on this side, as
no official or clergyman could have been found who
would have so far transgressed the bounds of decency
as to unite the couple, the appearance of the girl
being such as would forbid the union in the mind
of any sensible man, to say nothing of the law in
the case. Some person was found in Canada who
performed the ceremony, however, and the two
N vere made one. They are now in Windsor, en-
joying the sweets of the honeymoon. The father
of the girl is a red-hot abolitionist, of the whole
hog or nothing, nigger as good as anybody !style.
For a long series of years he has disgusted his
neighbours with his ranting on abolition and amal-
gamation, of which he was disposed to abate not a
jot or a tittle from it sutmostlimit. In order that he
.might not be said to preach what he did not practise
he made it a point to treat the numerous
coloured persons whom he from time to time em-
ployed as on a par with his own family.
.These.
doctrines he inculcated upon the understandings of
his children, and he has the supreme satisfaetio n of
witnessing, as the practical result of his teachingst:

crime of fanaticism we never heard of. The least
