FRIEND ED1rOR:-l observed an ~
ticle in thy paper Of last week, per
porting to have been written by "a
Friend" which seems to have created
some interest in my mind, which !
will with thy permissionl communi-
cate to the public. Our @Friend'
whether Hicksite or Orthodox, make
DO doubt, has the good Of the comnu-
nifty at heart; but by ,ndulging toe
freely in an antipathy for the poor Afri-
cans, seems to have i0bibed some err
roneous notions as to their claims ia
human nature, and very naturally re-
jects them as inferior animals. How.
ever correct our "Friend'' may be;
cannot subscribe to all he says against
that'opPressed ople;-though ! am
we'll aware Of the dampening influence
they excite on societv-aDd make nc
doubt hut the majority Of the citizen:
will concur with our "Friend." But
what shall be done with thems Shall
we drive them from their homes, and
deprive them Of the little comfort they
enjoy, that ours may be enhanceds
Admitting that ~Fsiend's" philoso.
PITY be correct, that they are an infer.
ior race;-they are still entitled to a
place in the world I'VE are the work
Of the same hand, and true philosophy
teaches US to regard all mankind az

the Negro inferior; but cannot that be
ascr'bed TO improper predjudiccsi and
his r~cslessness Of character to a want
of education, which il is we'll known
our free and happy form Of govern
ment particularly fapourss ! would
suggest to ~ Friend" the p-opriety
Of placing himself in this situation,--
deprived Of the privileges he 50 much

vored--compelIed to submit to laws
which they nave no hand in making,
and destitute Of that greatest Of blcs.
sings, education. What then would
be his virtues?
Bot / will hot confinc my repvoaches
TO an individual. Our Legislature
seems to have been governed BY the
same Phila"thropic spirit.
To deny any men equal privileges
and protection Of the laws; merely he
cause Of their color is a crime only,
surpassed by slavery itself, and clearly
proves how deeply the minds Of the
trainers Of that Law, must have been
imbued with thatspirit Of tyrany which

reckless they must have been Of that
noble principle OF the constitution Of
the United States, which declared al
men free and equal.

to his communication and

harsh treatment as will induce them

From Hauana.--By the brig Gov. Hop
kins, Capt. Gladding, arrived at Bristol,
on Sunday, in 8 days fr Havana, we have
been favored b7 our correspondent al that
place with the following intelligence re-
specting the cholera. Capt. G. states
the cholera still ragged with great fury at
that place; the exact number of deaths per
day could not be ascertained. 1t was va
riously reported from s TO 700. Scarce
ly any thing waste be seen in the streets,
but the vehicles conveying the dead bod
les TO the places Of intermcat. No class
Of people were exempt from its ravages;
but the mortality was greatest among tho
blacks. The distress Of all classes in the
city beggars all description. II was es-
tirnated that $4,000 persons in the city
and suburbs had been swept off by this
epidemic. Shocking accounts were con-
tiually reaching the city from the country.
On some plantations the grinding had
been entirely suspended, in consequence
of the deaths ofv numbers of the ne
groes. Many ofthe English vessels in
port, have suffered severely in loss ol
men; but few cases had occurred on board
American vessels. Scarcely an individu-
al that has been attacked has recovered
The merchants and most of the principal
inhabitants, had left for Mobile and New
Orleans. Business was almost at stand,
but few vessels in port, and those prepar-
ing to leave. For the last 2 days prev
ious to Capt. G's. sailing, the number OF
interments were less than they had been
for several days previous; and the gener-
al opinion was that the disease was subsi-
ding.

INDIAN HosrILITIEs.-The st. Louis
Times announces the death Of Mr.. Van
derburgh and MIR. PiIlon, who were en-
gagged in the fur trade in the region OF
the Rocky Mountains. They were slain
by the Blackfeet Indians on the 18th ol
October. The following is an extract
from letter conveying the intelligence,
and the circumstances connected with
it,
"Joseph Papin, came in with the let
tcrs, and states that >he had been sent out
by Mr.. Vanderburgh to kill a Buffalo
near the camp ofsixty persons; in a short
time ne returned saying he had seen cows
just slaughtered, and was sure that Indi-
ans were near. Mr.. V. was incredulous,
but called on few men to follow him,
and said he would satisfy himself. Re-
mains of meal roasting, and fire still burn
ing near COW, powder norm and fire
steel lying by the fire, convinced him that
the Indians were then very near. He re-
solved to follow up their traii, he pursued
il across the plain, until he reached some
uneven ground, where it was lost, and
suddenly volley was discharged from an
unseen cnemy--a rush Of near one hun
dred Indians quickly followed. Mr.. VS.
horse was killed at the first discharge, he
himself, levelIed his riAe-kilI
ed one man, and, while rising his pistol at
another, fell dead from bali received in
1is back. Alexis PiIlon was also killed
