Mrs. Steele was born June Ia, I77O,

the Tinkling Spring Church in that

nearly half century, and has well

the swarthy iehabitants ofthose rights
which they have acquired. that ey-
cry white man is viewed with suspi-
cion; and to prevent his gaining any
degree of superiority, he is placed UNI
der variety of disabilities by the
laws which have been established in
this ex-Queen of the Antilles. White
men may reside on the island, but.
they are expressly forbidden to pur-
chase land, or even inherit any such
permanet property, in what manner
soever it might have been acquired.
A white merchant may import car
goes and ship them off to other islands
but the produce ofthe country is
placed under an interdiction, and se-
cured from his unhallowed touch.
He may procure a livelihood by his
labor, but the merchandise which he
is permitted to import, he dares not
sell as retailer. He is viewed as a
being who is degraded fro4lslsis for
felted rank in society; and the descen
dents of his fathers slaves exact from
him that homage, which his progen-
itors once eXtorted from their ances-
tors. To a negro, whether n ale or
female, who has acquired wealth
and respec' pility, he is expected to
pull off his hat, when he meets either
in the streets; and to avoid disagree
able consequences, he reluctantly
submits to this ordeal of hun iliation.
The black ladies are particularly
alive to these punctilios, and consider
themselves insulted when the etiquet
tonnage is not paid. They rarly
omit TO remind the sons of their for
mer masters of their new duties, and
express themselves in the language
of indignity, which, however unpleas
ant to hear, must not be presented.
The principal object which they seem
to have in view, in suffering white
men to reside among them, is on
account of their superior attainments
Ill the arts. which they find it neces-
sary to cultivate. But, on all occa-
sions, they are thought to know their
station; and little doubt can be en-
tertained tnat when their services
are no longer required, their presence
will be dispensed with altogether.
The Haytiens are dreadfuliy lax in
their morals.
