LAWRENCE BRAINARD S.Ancher Pill. Onglanc-
ing at the New York Anti-Slavery Standard OF last
week. we noticed q letter from Lewis Hayden,a col
ored man, dated Ferrisburgh, July LIST, 1917, con-
tanning an account of his treatment on board cars
packet and steamboats, and considering 1t very aP-
pirate on the present occasion, We extract the fol-
lowing:
AT Whitehall we went on board the steam
err Saranac, Gold line) Captain DAVIS, at tour
o'clock, A. Nj. When breakfast hour came
not being in the habit of pressing ourselves
forward to the first table, unless specially IN
yitcd. we waited for the ringing OF the second
hell. and then went down, but were met by
the Steward, who told US our meals were not
ready vet, but by, and-by they would set us
down to eat ocer Here.-(pointng to some
other part of the cabin.)
After some considerable time had elapsed,
nv wife was summoned, by a little boy, to
breakfast. She declined going down. The
steward then informed her that she could now
have her breakfast. She told him she would
have taken it when she went down, but now
she did not wish any. He then Impairment
" asked her if she expected to eat with uhte
people ? Feeling rather misused, and not
wishing to parley with him, she referred HIM
to me, if he had any farther questions. Cap
| tain Davis next went to her, saying that his
| steward informed him that she had ordered
| breakfast, and that it was then ready. She
rpplied that she had not 0rdered breakfast,
| neither did she now choose to eat until we
went ashore. He urged her somewhat, but
| she still declined. The captain then came
and pressed me to take my breakfast. But
told him | did not wish to give any one the
trouble Of setting an extra table for me. lie
ssid that was his business, and net mlne. l
thanked him, adding that l was not SO arlsto-
cratic as to require o table by myself Inns
ended the chapter.
No sooner had | turned from the captain
than a gentleman put a paper IN my nanu'
containing the letter of Mr.. Garnet, respect
ino his treatment on board the Saranac. This
was 1ndustriously circulated among tho pas
senoers. and not a few of them expressed re-
rret at having come on board. One gentle
man observed, that though he dlsclalmed be-
inc an Abolitionist, he could not give such
connntenance to such unfouuded prejudice
AGAINST color and had he known that Capt.
Davis tolerated this prejudice he would never
have given him the sanction OF his patron
age"
As Mr.. Brainard is q large stockholder in the Sar-
anac, and is also the Liberty party candidate lof
Governor Of Vermont,it would undoubtedly be very
gratifying to Mr.. Brainard's supporters to learn us
views as to the p~ropriety Of the conduct OF his ser
wants on board the Sarsnac; and we will Suggest
that they call upon him for them, SO that they anu
the public at large may have them. Since thiS Is
not the first transaction of the kind, we hope MIR
Brainard will not be backward in defining his posi-
r ton, so that people may know which he values the
birhest his interest in the steamboat company, OF
the perfect equality Of the human race. Nochancf
l for lodging now! If Mr.. Brainard refuses to sho"
' his hand, we will see whether his friends upholu III
course, by giving him their support.
