FROM OUR BOSTON CORRESP O.NDE.VT.
Boston, AprI 4th, 1918
Your affcc. brother.
]. S. GREEN.

Boston, 9prL 4th, 1913.
Mr.. EDIToR:--I had the pleasure last week of ia
king by the hand our esteemed friend and fellowla
borer in the cause Of human liberty, the Rev. H. H.
Garrett, and listening to a very able, eloquent and
interesting address which he delivered the Baptist
Church in Belknap street.
His subject the past and present condition Of
the colored race with their future destiny and he did
both himself and his subject ample Justice.
He mentioned the names of many distinguished in
divduals IN ancient times, such as Cleopatra, who
captivated the heart of Mark Anthony, Hannibal, the
great Carthagenian general, Terrence, Euclid, Cy-
prian, Augustine, &C., who were of this now hated
black race, to show that coored people had formerly
distinguished themselves, and might yet do so.
Homer, he said, speaks of the Philippians as being
invited to feast of the Gods, and styles them ''the
most excellent Ethiopians"- Herodotus says of the
Egyptians that "they were black and had woody hair"
Egypt long the chief seat of the arts and scien
COS in the whole world 1t was the highest compli-
ment which could be paid to Moses, that che was
learned in all the wisdom Of the Egyptians"
The tavorite and most beloved queen of Solomon
pas black 0oman, the daughter of Pharaoh, king of
Egypt To show his love for her. he wrote the ia
nous poem--Soomon's Song. Her white sisters
were probably jealous of her, and hated her because
of Solomon's love; and pretended to despse her be-
cause she was black. Wherefore Sooman puts these
memorable words in her mouth, ~ am black but come
Ily, o we daughters of Jerusalem"-"Look not upon
me Tor dspise not because am black, because the
sun hath looked upon me-" Who but daughter of
the Pharaohs would have made such comparison as
ths-"I have compared thee o my love to a company
of horses in Pharaoh's charios."
To comfort her, he styled her 'the fairest among
women" "Thou art all fair my love-" She says Of
Soomon-"My beloved is ,chite and ruddy; the chief
est among ten thousand"
Mr.. Garnet dwelt with great earnestness and feel
ing the wrongs done his and painted out pros
poets for the future radiant with hope. He sad that
whatever the future destiny of the te people in the
United States might be, the same would be the desti-
ny of the blacks. If the time had ever been when
they could have been sent out of the country, that
time had gone by. Their blood was SO thoroughly
mixed up with the best and eanest blood of the An
go Saxon Iace it would be impossible to separate il
without causing such mourning and lamentation a.
had never been known since Rachel wept for he
children, and would not be comfoned because the,

Snccial Notice.

We have recently addressed notes to our patrons
in most of the towns where our papers arc carried
outside the mall informing them that means must be
taken forthwith and spulations made with the several
drivers il they would continue to have their papers
transmitted in that way. We now repeat what was
said in the private notes; that unless contracts are
made with the drivers, and soon too, and saved
from all responsibilities for paying them &c, we shall
be compelled to leave the papers at the P o., instead
of the Stage House. Only one or two towns have as
yet, given any response to the letter which we sent
out Such as do, will of course be remembered, and
such as do not may expect after the first of May to
find their papers at the p O. Our paper is afforded
at TOO low rate to admit of any responsibility upon
us for its transportation Let the friends make these
contracts, or engage us to, and send with your en-
gaqementa IS BILL or whltever the amount may be-
to pay the transportation as has one good and faithful
friend.
Also demands are presented to us for the past
years transportation, to the amount of SIS, which
must be paid. win not the patrons be promptto re-
init u.s. through our agents, the amount of II 1-2 cts
each, to meet this expense.

SLAVES IN THE DISMAL SwAMP-This gloomy
swamp is not without its interest for it serves as HI
ding place, "city of refuge, for the poor slave
am told that there hundreds of ugtives who have
sought an ASYLUM from oppression in this damp and
dreary region and here they have hitherto been
So extensive is this place, and so inaccessible 70 the
population, that many of its inhabitants have never
seen white man. Many of them receive their sns.
enance by aboring for slaves, who have their tasks
IN parts OF the swamp. A planter sends a faithful
servant to get out shingles and gives him his taskonj
promises to give him much for every task and not
unfrequenty the slave takes once in two weeks bar
rel of pork and two barrels of flour &C., &c,and at
the end of two weeks his rations are gone he has per-
formed SO many tasks, and his master pays him as he
promised, thus encouraging secretly the runaways.-
But recently, parties of young men with dogs have
hunted out these poor creatures and, to the ex
preston OF my informant have "shot them down like
partrldges" A few weeks since, a company of them
were discovered, and made resistance, they were
armed with pistols they fred, without effect and
then were fired upon by these manhunters, with their
longer and heavier guns, and four of them shot, and
others were wounded so that they could not retreat
One of them, in particular, was shot in the knee
which was badly shattered He was then brought

TaYlOr Meeting in Ohio.

The Philadelphia Inquirer reports an immense and
enthusiastic Taylor meeting at Dayton, Ohio, on the
3lst ut; at which Gen. Taylor was nominated for
President, and Abbott Lawrence the great gun ofwhg
arstocracy and cottonocracy in Massachusetts, for
Vice President of the United States
The Richmond Va) Republican adopts the sugges-
ton of the name of Abbott Lawrence for the Vice
Presidency with the remark -
"Wthout wishing to be premature" in regard to
the Vice Presidency, we may say, in connection with
this subject that at present advised Mr. Lawrence
would be an acceptable candidate to run with General
Taylor, being sound in reference to The South"
