Passing one Of the principal suosts Of.
Cincinnati last Sunday, towards shutdown, a
colored woman had attracted quite a crowd,
by whipping very severely a little girl of hers,
and when demonstrated with about it, she
earnestly asserted her right to do it because
she had bought her at a great price. She
did not claim the right to correct it as the
mother of the child, but based her right upon
a purchase of the article, and that article her
W daughter. / learned, on inquiry, that
the women, a little while ago, was a slave in
Vicksburgh, Miss, and had earned money
enough, by extra effort at washing, to buy
herself and three children for about $1,000,
and had left the father of the two colored
children in bondage, while the father of the
white one is still in Vicksburg, but not a slave.
She asserted that $4,000 was the price paid.
Here she follows her old vocation, taking in
washing, although she receives but one third
as much here for the same amount of work
as she received in Vicksburg.
Last evening ] stepped into a BARRIERS shop,
and learned a fact touching slavery from the
lips of the man on whose person the wrong
was done. A very well behaved and genteel
colored man, aged 90, who had travelled
much in the Slave States in the employment
of Major A. J. Donaldson, and one or two 9TH
er distinguished gentlemen, went down the
Mississippi river to New Orleans, as barber
on board the steamboat Niagara, a year ago.
As soon as the boat fastened to the wharf or
Levee, an officer came on board looking for
free negroes. He met the barber, and de-
manded his papers, and was told he had no
papers, but was free born in the state of Ohio.
He was Immediately seized and ordered to
the lookup. The Captain of the boat inter-
posed, vouching for his being a freeman, and
offering to become bound in any sum-, from
$4,000 to $4,000, that the colored man,
William X. b. Brown, should remain con-
stantly on board the boat while she was at
New Orleans, and that he should return up
the river with the boat. This would not do,
and the intelligent barber was hurried away
TO confinement, where he was kept eighty
seven days before his Cincinnati friends
could learn his whereabouts; all his letters
being intercepted or strangely miscarried.-
At last Judge Mclean and Col. William K.
Bond, formerly and for many years a Men,
Der of Congress from this State, and now
Surveyor of this port, in whose family the
barber was born, and for whom he was nam
ed, ~interposed, paid all expenses and charges,
and had him released. His bills of board
and washing, &C., used up his kit of shaving
tools and spare clothes, which he sold to raise
money, and aside from his time and suffer-
ings of mind, his costs amounted to about
$3.50, which he is laboring hard to secure
and is reflnding the money advanced by
Judge Mclean and Col. Bond.
Other and numerous facts like the above i
daily learn here, and yet there is a strong pro-
slavery feeling in this place, because men
find it for their interests to be on good terms
with the many shareholders who come here
TO do business. The rights of man are for
gotten in the pursuit of the God of this
world, the everlasting dollar. How much lon
ger will the people tolerate, in this Union,
such outrages upon American citizens p
What a mockery to get up meetings III Cin-
cinnati to sympathise with the Hungarians,
and cheer them on in their struggles for free
doom, while such insults and wrongs are
heaped upon her own citizens~srgs sister
State! Out upon such hypocrisy! Let it
be remembered that, daily and hourly, this
same thing is acted, over and over again, in
the persons of American citizens, in the very
State from which was last selected the Chief
Magistrate to preside over the administration
of government in this great nation. This
outrage was committed, that no friendly voice
should saw to the colored men toillng inces-
sanity on Zachary Taylor's plantation, and
the plantations of other shareholders in that
State, "You are a man! and some day, per-
haps, far down in the future, your p%osterity
shall be free"
When l reflect with what courtesy Louisi-
anians, although many shades darker than
are the people of the Eastern States, are
treated when they visit New England, and
then hear such facts from people of the north
but little darker than are these New Orleans
A~lgerines, who are punished thus for their
color, / am ready to swear upon the altar OF
my country, that, through any agency ofmine,
no STAKEHOLDER shall ever be the chief ruler of
the freemen in this country. T.
