4. He dwelt on the law Of adapt
edness which every where prevails,
but no where more than in their own
case. He drew their attention to
their hard hands, robust frame and
dark skin,as evidence of their adapt
edness to slavery. Their masters
had none of these. God had given
them great physical strength, while
their masters did NOT possess it in an
equal degree. While contrasting the
strength of the slaves wilhthe weak
ness of their masters, he was careful
to tell them not to boast of their
strength because that would be very
wicked &c.

BrutaI Outrage.-Prg@dic against
Color.-Anoutrage Of an aggravated
character occurred at Rochester.
about10o'c,ock, on the 2dinst. Two
respectable youngladies were return
ing from the fair at the Market, ac-
companied by a colored mar in the
capacity of a servant, whom they
had ordered to come forthem at that
hour. While proceeding quietly on
their way, the colored man was as
saulted by a gang Of rowdies and
knocked down three times. A cry
was raised for the watch which caus-
ed the rulfianst to scatter. The ladies
took refuge ina nei8hboring grocery.
The cause assigned for this brutal
assault, was that it was a case Of
amalgamation, although the ladies
told the ruffians repeatedly that the
colored man was only a servant at
tending them by their orders. Such
outrages deserve the severestpunish-
ment.

Description ofSouthern preaching g,
by Frederick Douglass, a fugitive
Slave, as sketched by the Editor of
the Vermont Observer.
Again some tell usthat some slaves
have religious masters. Yes, | allow
it, lie. the slaves are preached to, and
prayed with, and allowed to pray
themselves, but 1t IS to tile God Of
Slage1y, md mol to the God 0Frecdom.
A slave may pray, 60 God make me
obedient to massa, make me a good
slave &c;' but if he should chance
10 pray that God would break every
yoke and let the oppressed go free,
it would be looked upon as the trumpet
note ofinsurrection, and a severe ret
ribution would follow. They have
preaching too, but it is such asis de-
signed to make them better slaves.
MIR. D. here gave a specimen of South
ern preaching to the slaves. He OBJ
served that he might not use the pre-
else words, but he pledged to do JUS
tice to the southern preachers. He
chose for his text "Servants obey
your masters" and personating a
preacher in the midst of a congrega-
ton of slaves, he proceeded to say
Slaves, these are the words Of the
great Apostle, addressed to those in
your condition. They urge upon
you the study Of obedience. Ishall
proceed to state four reasons why
you should be obedient to your mas
tcrs.
/. God commands you to be ODE
dent.
2. You should be obedient on the
principle of gratitude, because God
has brought you from poor benighted
Africa to this happy country.
3. You should be obedient, because
your own happiness reqnires it.
4. You should be obedient, because
of your adaptedness to the state you
ale in.
Under the first head he dwelt upon
the great and terrible character of
God, the awful consequences which
would follow a disobedience to his
commands. Urgedto bear constantly
in mind Gods terrible character, and
the fact that the great God has COM
manded them to be obedient to their
masters.
9. He dwelt upon the horrors and
w~retchedness of Africa, the suffering
and destitute condition Of its inhab-
itants ,and contrasted them with
the blessings and privileges Of this
land, calling upon them under the in
huence of gratitude to be obedient TO
their masters.
3. He dwelt upon the %connexlon
between cause and effect, obedience
and happiness, and o;ce ucrsa. And
at length Observation-Disclosures, perhaps
YOU do not understand my reason

dav Sans master sent him to do a
