NOTES OF A TRAVELLER.
BALTIMoRE, N,

BALTIMORE, NOV. /.
Genllemen,--In my company from
Pittsburgh was MIR Ferguson, young
colored gentleman, ona visit to his
friends in his native State, Virginia. l
found him very intelligent fellow trav-
eIer. We occupied the same seat near
ly all the way from Pittsburgh, in the
Stage and in the cars, to the relay house
near Baltimore. He was treated by the
white passengers with perfect equality.
So much towards the downfall Of color
phobia. We spoke out boldly for the
Liberty party, and kept up the debate
all the way we were together. Several
gentlemen from the old dominion, and
other States, seemed deeply imbued
with the spirit OF freedom. Indeed
have been surprised at the depth of anti
slavery feeling that is slumbering in the
bosoms Of several southern men | have
met. Names and places in this connec.
ton will never be forgotten. Of for the
