DRrApruL SCENES.

In our department Of news will be found
a Smoking account of atrocities lately COM
ri,ted in Louisiana. The recurrence OF
such scenes shows the reklessness, the
brutal sensualily ofthe slave population.
and fearfully illustrates the tendencies OF
that system of legislation under which
they are kept in Ignorance and bondage.
They also show the desperation to
which the. masters are driven in conse.
uuence OF the conduct of the slaves
These things are the direct natural fruits
ofslavery, as all may see at glance
The slave is KEEP, in ignorance for the safe

meet at the Methodist House, for arrange.
ments TO be made, at O'Clock. After the
