christianity under adverse circumstances-and
living record oil the great tr'itn winch the
finger OF Providence has written upon the worlds
history, namely: That humanity Is stronger
than chattelism.
This improved condition OF the slaves is not
confined to Kentucky. In the slave States OF
the extreme South there is also marked i'm
Provement Some fifteen years s'nce' gangs oil
negro and mulatto women might be seen at
work every day In the streets oil New Orleans
under supervision OF whi'e oriver' nonrishing
iormldaolewhip' we nave o'en seen ofignt
and intelligent looking giris, almost white, IN
this degrading situation with long iron Pr0ng'
fastened around their necks. AT period II
was common remark THAT many an unf0r-
tunste mulatto girl was condemned to this de-
grading punishment in consequence OF the Jeal-
ousy of her mistress" utthese matters were
too common to excite any surprise.
On recent visit to that city, We were In
formed that THIS mi-oaroarous practice Of
working norlen IN street gangs, had been aban-
doned-and among The numerous gangs OF
slaves which are seen daily at work on the ievee,
we saw no womeni nor did we nee a nhiP In
use but once
On the Sabbath, we observed the colored peo
pie, generally well dressed, in regular atten-
dance at different churches, and were Informed
on unquestIonaoIea uthority' That Their religious
condition was much better than formerly. We
also made inquiry Int the physical and religious
condition OF the slaves on tne plantations and
although the result oil these inquiries was not
10 satisfactory as In the citles' IL lett no ground
Tor the suPposltion that the condition OF the
slaves Is growing worse
