The CoLoRED RACE AT THE NoRTH.-Hiaior
Noah. in the N. Y. Sunday Messenger, writing
on the condition of the blacks at the North makes
the following truthful remarks a subject which
is more misrepresented and misunderstood at the
North than all others put together. We have
room for only portions of Major Noah's article
Here. at the North, the poor blacks ire not per-
mitted to work alongside the white man. Once
they were permitted to follov the humble employ
ment of carrying up bricks and mortar, but they
were kicked from the ladder by our white fellow
are not permitted to sweep streets. And yet we.
who persecute, neglect, ard repudiate the free
black man here, filled with holy zeal TO make
the slave free at the South. and deprive him of a
home, of food, and of clothing, and of kind. con-
siderate master and we struggle for that freedom
even at the expense of breaking down, dividing.
and destroying glorious Republic! Suppose
all the slave States say TO their free blacks
My friends. we have given you employment and

that you should come forth from the iniqu,y that
surrounds you-go 10 them, and see if they will
do as much for you we have done !'' What is
TO become of more than half million of freed
blacks driven forth to seek the cold charities of
the North They will starve!
Wherever lurn, nothing in the agi-
lation of the slave question but ruin and distress
to the coIored race.
A circumstance occurred here last week which
has led to the foregoing reflections. Passing
down Nassau street. three four persons were
standing inside of a store talking to black man,
and they invited Us TO come in. "Here is black
man." said one of the gentlemen. "who wishes 10
sell himself as slave for $780,
We entered the store, and saw a short stout
fellow in rags with good countenance. and no
Indication of vice.
Where do you beong?" ."". --

''Don't you know that you can't sell yourself

"Whai am | to 90? can get no work have
had no breakfast; am almos, naked no one

Here illustration of the practical be-
nevolence of domestic African slavery, while it
exhibited the rank hypocrisy of the Aboiiionists.
They could $1,000 10 purchase The liberty
of two mulatto girls. and yet allowed poor black

from starving in free Northern State!

relde.-This interesting ceremony. performed with
all the soemnity of the Church of Rome. took
place yesterday morning. We have rarely. if

even a footing within a. the sacred walls" The
services were performed by Archbishop and
three Bishops, with the usual complement of at

most interesting ceremonies ever witnessed IN this
city. 1t is the first time we believe, that many
! high dgniiaries of The Church have been assem-
bled together in this city and the solcmnity of
the occasion, while it graiifed the curiosity of
some, afforded ample proofs TO others of the all

dread. On account of associations, this event wns
