DISGUSTING AFFAIR.

"Four light colored negro wenches were
yesterday in the dock of the Second Munich
pality, who were arrested for living in a house
of ill-fame in Gravier near Phillipa street,
They were also complained OF for offensive
language and conduct upon the banqnette.-
These women are the slaves of Matilda RAY
mond, who keeps them at her house for the
vilest purposes. This woman is out of Town
and could not be arrested, but Josephine Tan
ner, who has charge of the house in her alb
sencp, was brought up and will be examined
on Tuesday next. The four negro women
were remanded TO Jail, and will take their
examination under the Black Code, before
Judge Bright"
We take the above from a recent number
Of the New Orleans Delta, and therefore 1t
cannot be the invention of any Northern IA
natic. Why it should be called q disgusting
affair, we do not see, because it must be a
very common and very familiar one. People
who do not constantly see the effects of the
peculiar institution are apt to forget their worst
and most revolving forms. They think of the
wrongs, the griefs, and the suiIerings of the
slave; the separation of parents and children,
the stripes inflicted upon women, the tearing
asunder of husbands and wives, and all the
cr%uelties and hardships which are the inevi-
table results Of chattel Slavery. But they DO
not think of the revolving and degrading con-
dition revealed in the above extract, to which
both slave and owner is reduced by the hell
ish system. Rearing up light-colored female
slaves for the "vilest purposes" is SO COM
mon in all the large towns of the slaveholding
States, that we wonder at the arrest Of those
uniortuna,es in New Orleans. The language
they used must have been very offensive TO
have shocked the delicacy Of people familiar
with such things, and have led 10 their ar
rest. We shall keep an eye upon the New
Orleans papers, for we have a curiosity TO
know how Judge Bright will dispose of the
parties, and what the precise meaning of the
=" Black Code" may bel.

THE DECEITFULNESS OF SIN.

A young clergyman goes South, opposed
to slavery in all his feelings, and designing
to work a change among his people for the
better. But he soon finds that he cannot
touch that subject without losing his popu-
larity-perhaps his entire audience. In 9TH
er respects the field appears promising, and
he concludes to go to work with silence on
that subject. But we no sooner proclaim a
parley with sin, than sin commences its con-
quest over us. The young minister becomes
acquainted with amiable and accomplished
young ladies in wealthy Manifestations an
attachment, and then comes the trial. At
first, his feelings are shocked at the idea of
becoming a slaveholder-the last thing he
ever thought he should DO. But his desired
companion knows nothing of keeping house
without her slaves; she must have them
and his feelings must yield or the connection
be given up. 1t is said with truth that what
appears wrong TO the naked eye, often ap-
pears right when seen through silver. Ths
man finds that if he keeps house at all, he
must either own slaves or hire them of 9TH
ers. No other help can be had. While the
former is no more sinful, il has many advan-
tages over the latter, even 10 both parties.
Slavery begins TO look less repulsive than
formerly-he sees more obstacles TO emanci-
pation-more happiness among the slaves,
until he finally sees no wrong in becoming
a STAKEHOLDER himself under his peculiar cir
cumstances. His conscience is further quiz
eted by the fact that in so doing he will Sc
cure the entire confidence of the people, and
remove iealousies that have been a bar TO his
usefulness. He calculates to set an exam
pie of such Treatment of servants as the Ri.
BILE requires. But once a stakeholder, he
finds that any more lenient treatment of his
slaves than others give, will render them
worthless. Nothing but fear will influence
people to work without reward. Hence
there must be a severity Of treatment thai
will induce fear. Such treatment eats out
all the compassion the minister formerly fell
for the poor slave, and gradually he imbibe;
the same feelings-the same mode of think.
ing and reasoning as other shareholders, anc
finally differs from them in nothing materi
al.
Now is not this substantially the history
Of hundreds Of Northern ministers and lay
men who have settled in the South Til,

CoLORED CoLoNIsTs IN CANADA

-
a correspondent of the True Wesleyan

condition of the fugitive slaves of America
who have sought shelter from their Republi-
can masters upon the soil and beneath the
flag of the British Government.
Many Of these poor creatures are disabled

masters and pursuers, when trying to escape
TO Canada. Some want an eve, others an
ear, some a hand, leg, arm some have bro
ken noses, others their teeth knocked nut
several have rifle balls and buck-shot LODGED
in different parts Of their bodies. One man
when trying TO escape was fred at fifteen
times, and but one ball took effect. 1t iodq-
ed in his leg and remains there to this mo
ment. Some were branded with red-hot
irons, and others whipped almost to DEATH
Mr.. Henson, the preacher, had his arms bro
ken by his inhuman master. 1t was done
with a rail. Settlers had, at first to endure
great privations, without food, raiment, mo.
ney, or friends. They went 10 work like
men, and now have good farms, and good
houses, pigs, poultry, and cows. They are
generally contented. industrious and honest.
The white people speak of them in the most
SOllulClluuplC tllll Aoblllt VI NltlH SldNt
that when they first came into the settlement
they had nothing but an axe, a hoe, and a
spade. They had TO cut down a tree, hollow
it out in the middle, lay down in i, in the
dead of the winter, and sleep there all night,
with a log of wood laid crossways for a pill
low, and this without even a blanket or quilt
to cover them. They had to live on field
beans, and a few potatoes which their neigh
bors sent to them without milk, butter. bread,
meat, or even a grain Of salt; and yet they
never murmured as they We're now their W
masters, and were not afraid Of the lash, the
rifle, or the bloodhound. The women also
handle the axe in clearing the land, lust as
well as the men. An aged man and his wife
who escaped here through Mr.. Torrey, sta
ted that on their way, Mr.. Torrey and them
selves, for two days lived on grass IN the
woods and asked Gods blessing on it as it
saved them from starvation. When this no.
BILE martyrs naTe was mentioned they burst
forth into a flood of tears. Though dead he
is still alive in the heartssof thousands.
A difficulty still exists with the settlers
Many of them have not paid, as yet, theiI
first instalment, and are likely to lose their
lands, which are of the very best quality,
and on which they have made great improve
ments. When a selection of one hundred
acres is made, fifty dollars must be paid, to
secure the title. If house is put up, then
the improvement is equal to the instalment,
and the land company is easy. But when
fifteen or twenty acres are cleared in addition,
there is danger that the settler will lose his
Improvements. This is what the white man
wants. He viii! offer one hundred and fifty
dollars for the land and the improvements
a temptation to the land company which is
not often resisted. The poor colored man is
thus turned out of his house and home.

The Douglass Testimonial.

We learn from the (London) Peoples
Journal Of July 9th, the disposition which
is to be made of the fund raised in Great
Britain, as a testimonial to Frederick Doug
lass. 1t will be remembered that this FUND
was to be devoted to the purchase of a print
ing press, but Mr.. Douglass, having decided,
In accordance with the dvice of his friends
in this country, not TO attempt 10 establish a
newspaper, as there are already four journals
now in existence in different States, under
the exclusive editorial charge of coloTed men,
and as the plan was one of doubtful success,
and would necessarily withdraw Mr.. Doug
lass from the lecturing field where he is so
much needed, his friends abroad have cheer
fully acquiesced in his decision. 1t is now
proposed that the entire proceeds of the fund,
amounting to $500, (about 81 ,000) be re-
mitted to Mr.. Douglass, to be safely invest
ed for his benefit, under trustees of his own
choosing. If, at any future time, he should
consider it ad visable TO establish a newspa-
per Of his own, the capital, so invested, shall
be available for that purpose. In the mean
time it is proposed that he shall devote a por-
ton of his time to writing for one or more
Auti-Slavery newspapers, conducted by CO.
lored editors. In the event Of his death, the
fund is to be devoted to the support OF his
wife and children, or their survivors.
This disposition of the testimonial will, we
presume, be satisfactory to all concerned.-

ticn. DR.. Bailey's plan Of settling our diff
culties with Mexico is 10 annex TO our coun-
try the several Mexican States, "of course
with their own free will and consent and
he obviates at length the objections thereto,
and enlarges eloquently upon the advantages
Of the scheme. Then in the winding up
comes the sentiment which seems 10 me so
worthy of repTobation, contained in the fol-
lowing paragraph:

Of a moments consideration. Either back
out Of The controversy, bring hack our armies,
withdraw all our forces within the Nueces,
leave Mexico TO recover from the anarchy to
which we have reduced heT-Or make use of
our present position 20 save her from anarchy,
and ourselves from dishonor, by giving her
States the privilege of becoming equal mem
bers of our own political family"
As for the "backing out,' the DR.. himself
repndiates il in a previous paragraph, on the
ground that " it supposes an amount of JUS
tice and stern self-denial on the part of the
American people and their government, which
it is almost idle TO talk Of" There remains,
then, alone, the second branch of the alterna-
tive and our National Liberty Editor serious-
ly proposes to us 'tO make use Of our pres
