DEAR FRIErp GARRIsoN:

even of that. The Free Soil vote is ever but
small
As to the prejudice against color, never
saw il so malignant any where else in the
wide world. The most respectable people
who ever lived in the State have left it in
disgust neither their intelligence, virtue, or
wealth, giving them any right to the most
common courtesies and civities of life.
have heard some instances related that are
truly appalling; and some, too, not less
amusing. In one town, the Bloomer dress
began to be used. The wife of one of the
popular clergymen was particularly Jealous
in It, and set n commcndablc example by
appearing in il herself But pretty soon, n
colored girl had the audacny to wenr it, and
the fashion was killed dead, dead, dead, that
very night.
In one place, ms ! was toId,) some years

to "conquer the prgudices" of the deacon,
set good heavy colored woman at the gal
lery, one Sunday morning, well shod in
heavy cowhides, and instructed her in the
part she was to perform. As soon MS the
violin sounded, away ran the deacon, stamp

out, "Nor too, nor too, deacon | wont

door The congregation was in an uproar
But the deacon was completely cured. The
roaring of Bashan bull among the singers
would hot have disturbed him after that per-

Mr.. Garrison, has lately made an Anti
Slavery visit 10 New York. lie pays the
following tribute TO gentleman and philan-
tlrophisi, whose hospitality lie enjoyed in
Albany.
On arriving at the Grccnbush depot, wo
were met hy our esteemed friend, Mr.. Will
liam Ii. Topp OF Albany, who came over TO
accompany us to his hOspitabe home. As
far as the eye could extend, the noble Hud-
son river was frozen in n very solid manner,
so that all sorts of vehicles were driven
across it with entire safety, causing no more
vibration Than upon the solid earth. IL iron
rails had been laid upon lis surface, the lea-
West train might have passed over without
making anyimprcssion upon it. The spec
tacle that presented itself was equally novel
aud eXhilurnting. The entertainment exten-
ded to us by Mr.. Tcpp aud his eslimablc
lady aud family, will ever be gratefully re-
membered. Ii was the first opportunity we
had ever enjoyed Of becoming personally ac-
qluinted with them. Mr.. Topp is colOEed
gentleman, "a gentleman in the highest and
truest sense,) of great refinement of man
ner intelligent aud enterprising, at tho
head Of one of the leading tailor aud draper
establishments in Albany, having one of the
handsomcst shops and best locations in tho
city, and enjoying. the respect and confidence
of the citizens generally. lie is an honor
TO the race with which his complexion a.
lenst partially Identifies him, and an invalua-
bic member of society. Il is the height oC
absurdily TO say Of such II man lhnt he cans
not rise in the scale OF being while he re-
mains in this, his native land; he has alrea>
dy risen to sublime altitude, aud is able
to look down, with jusiifuble complacency.
upon the entire host of preiudiced coloniza-
lonisls, who, re,meed to pigmyean propor-
tons by their exclusive spirit, impIidently
seek his expatriOtion to the bcnighted coast
of Africa. MIR. ropp takes lively interest
in the anti slavery cause, and in the elevation
of the free colored population, to whom no

Daniel Webster and LiDcrlan independence.

Gently spent social evening with Dan. Webster
in New York city. The Editor of tho Indcpcn.
dent says that DIR. Spring questioned tho Hon.
Secretary upon the probable recognition of Ii
bcran independence. Mr.. w. replied, that "lIc
could see no reason on earth why the indepcn-
dcncc of the colony of Liberia should not be
recognized by the government of tho United
States, as soon as tho colonists should provo
themselves capable of sclI-govcrnmont: and lie
did not sec why they arc not now as capable of
self government as arc the natives of the Sand
wich Islands. whose independence this govern
mcnt has recognized. And concluded with
the remark "thnt as long MS he had any connec-
ton with tho government, he would be happy
to use his influence for the object that had been
proposed. " Mr. Webster must certainly have
forgotten lis hcrcucan labors in saving the L.
MON. Is he willing again to leopard oil by in
Producing some black colonist TO the prcsidcn-
tial lcvcc, as Minister P.cnipotentiary from the

doubtless got up to make little pious capital,

Mr.. Webster will not thank the Independent

GREAT CoNFLAGRATION-TnE OLD
STATE HOUSE DESTROYED.

Yesterday Sunday morning, about o.
clock, the cry of "Fire" rang through our
stress. Ii was soon ascenained that The
Old StnIe House was on fine. The watch
first discovered it in the centre of the Senate
Chamb-r, and on the floor. This was near
ly exlinguished, when il was discovered that
the limbers overhead and near the belfry
were on fire. Soon il burst out through the
roof, and the entire bellry was quickly in
flames. The engines could not reach the
fire, and it was then evident iha, the venera.
Bile old edifce in which ihe Legislature OF
Ohio has met for The last ,hiry-fve years
was doomed 10 destruction. The bel(ry,
alter burning brilliantly for few minutes,
came down with crash upon the floor OF
the Senate Chamber. The roof then gradu-
ally fell in, and the upper story OF The build.
ing was mass of flames. An effort was
made 10 conGne the fire to the Senate Cham.
Der and upper rooms, but there wos TOO heavy
q mass Of burning matter On the floor 10 be
extnguished, and soon the flames reached
the Hall OF The House of Representatives
The origin of the fire has not yet seen as
cerialned. The desks, chairs and furniture
had been removed, and the entire building
was then resigned 10 its fate. In the Senate
Chamber very little was saved, We learn
that the Clerks papers were all secured,
but that large mass Of Documents, Jour.
mails, Constitutional Debates, &c., were con-
sumed.
The loss 10 the State is not great, as it is
hoped that by 1854, the Stale House will
be so far completed as TO permit the session
Of bolh Houses in the new halls. Ii will
make some temporary inconvenience during
The present session, bu, it will not be very
serious
We don't know wha, the Legislature will
do. We presume the City Council will Of.

will be found 10 answer the purpose. |, is
The impression tha: the House will occupy
the Odeon; and the Senate, the old Cour
House. These are near each other and can
easily be made comfortable. But we will
know more Of this to.morrow.-Stale Jonr'
