OUTRAGE AND IMPOSITION"
The Boston Courier of the 10th inst contains
an article, which the veteran editor tacity endors
es, detailing one of the most fragrant violations o
American sentiment on record Such an instance
of abolition insoence and fraud and of coloreC
impotence we scarcely remember since the NOR

says the article" had with him besides his acife

WITHOUT GIVING ANY INITIATION OF THE FACT, AND
PUT THEM IN THE LADIES' CABIN, WHERE THEY SLEPT
ALL NIGHT WITHOUT THE KNOWLEDGE OF ANY ONE. "
What confederation OF Preparations have we
here -perpetraton upon preparation! Tickets
procured for Colored women, without forewarning
the captain. Women thrust into the ladies' cabin

they were white-and the ugly creatures had the
deliberate insolence to sleep there. The height OF
impudence this abolition has already led them to.
They could sleep in ladies' cabin and the ladies'
themselves did not know it. Without the knowl-
edge of any one" says the correspondent. Oh
their p6riiiotis condition and they not know it
And but for the vigilance of colored chamber
maid the ldaies might have slept all night--a
chamber-maid, excellent in her place. says the
correspondent. She was in the same cabin to be
sure-but then not for the impudent purpose OF
Sleep-she was there for ragal0nce- in her place, ,
to serve the ladies. Had these creatures been in
there for scrrice instead of rest, they would have
been in their paces-but they were in for rest,
which was an outrage and they slept and con-
cealed their color, which was an imposition
And what if the ladies had found it out in the
night-'in the dead waistand middle ofthe night
what acould have been the consequence! What
fits they might have had and what Mgh-SterrichS
gone into had they walked in the dark and seen
a colored something, right there in the berths -
Or what if one of them had stuck out her lily
hand or her alabaster foot and touched naked col

On what pretext were these ugly monsters thrust
in there Why forsooth they had purchased
tickets of admission and had paid for them! But
then they concealed their color. 1t was fraud
upon the captain. He thought all was aChite and
.tair They were ugly colored women, and he
thought they were ladies as pale as diaper. 1t
was an imposition. We are opposed to mobs.--
We would go far to prevent them, in the abstract.
But their mag be cases. We appeal to candid
public--are there no limitations Is the law an
adequate remedy in all cases Our wives and
daughters, they may want to travel-aud to what
are they to be exposed The iairest and most del
icate of them may sleep in the same apartment
all night, with colored women!
But the imposition was detected The captain
traced it to this Buffum. He was a real gentle
man., said the Courier'S Correspondent. "No
boat or captain stood, in his estimation, higher
He told Buffum " he had no objection to his being
with the colored women, and had he asked the
favor, he would have put them in room by them
selves, where they might have slept together
Was he not gentleman And the ladies, in
whose approving presence he uttered this piece Of

they were real--prime.
