The herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1835-1837, 1836-02-15

Under all these circumstances, who can doubt the
truth of what she has dclosed?
One of the most incredible of all her relations is con-
frmed by the testimony of DIR. Ethan A. Ward of thi.
CITY, gentleman highly esteemed physcian, and
tor he Integrity of his moral character This gentle
man ras ia Harasa and the cretches erecnfed or
me afroc'ous crime Of stealing young negroes for the
purpose Of cutting them up and making them into sau
sages?
The Doctor returned to New York about two wears
before the escape of Rosanond, and had frequently
mentioned the fact of the mens being executed for the
above mentioned deed, even before such person as
Rosamonds being ia Havana was known in this CITY
and Rosamond the auhoress of this Narrative related
the tact 10 her friends in this city, previous her
quaintance with Doctor Ward, and without knowing
thai any one here had been informed of il.
We now leave the public to decide whether the rea
uoa OF oar authoress is not confirmed in that
puts the truth of ii beyond the shadow Of a doubt.
This book it will be perceived is written by the lady
herself, RosAMoND she calls herself, and contains
nothing but facts, the story Of making negroes into
sansages fairly illustrates She now resides in Thu
city, and is represented being beautiful, talented
and accomplished widow, but whether she has eaten
any of the holy sausages we know not. We have not
seen either Rosamond Maria Monk, although We
have monstrous itching land Scotchmen know
what that sensation isl to call both, with
them, and TO cross examine them the correctness
of their several stories Rosamond represented be
far superior girl in talents and personal attractions
Maria. We shall ofcourse incline towards the side of
Rosamond in our editorials.
The story told by Rosamond is somewhat different
in its details from that written by Mr. Theodore Dwigh
Jr The Island ofCuba is altogether Catholic country
under Catholic government-and of course the clergy
possess an influence far bevond what they possibly can
in such wicked Protestantg country as Canada
The besutiulorange groves delightful scenery and lux.
urous habits Of the clergy in that paradise of Islands
will be beautifully described. The engravings are
also highly captivating.
Such we informed will ,be the forthcoming work.
We have reached, il will be perceived, very remarka-
BILE crisis. These against CathoIicity COM
mencing with the confiagraton of the Convent in
Charleston, and followed up by the violent incendary
publications last year by the Courier and Enquirer and
Evening Star, base produced morbdness the public
mind that nothing but horrors will satsly-nohing but
sausages made of negroes will aay. Of the present
story TO be published by Leavitt & Lord, We shall re-
remarks till the work shall appear OF the
Montreal story written by Mr.. Theodore Dwight, Jr.
it is certain the matter will remain where it is On
the shoulders of Mr.. Dwight must large portion of the
responsibility rest Of the statements published by Howe
& Bates. He ought immediately TO come forth and
state the evidence which induced him to believe her
Story and shew why The aidavits we published
on s, turday should be discreded.
AS to the Rev. Mr. Hoyt we have no great opinion Of
his integrity, independent of his Montreal adventures
His conductn relation to the Sunday School Mission is
liable to the deepest suspicious. One fact is enough
He employed recently legal gentleman of this city to
accompany him to the apartments of Miss Monk, fol
the purpose of having instrument signed by Maria
constituting him [Hoyt her heir and assignee in case
of death. On Hoyt going to another for pen and
paper, Maria told the lawyer" don't know the
that should sign such paper would prefer maxi
ing my trustee" The lawyer instantly replied
then Maria, that your view, you had better refuse
altogether" She did so-and her authority we
now assert that Hoyt presented to her bill of charges
for nearly $780, Does he deny that fact? We more
ask him whether he did not appropriate about $3.50
of the proceeds of his colleconns this city, for the
Sunday School Mission, in Montreal to the paym eni
either of bis own debts those of brother in Con-
necticut?
