EXPERIENCE OF A New ORLEANS NEGRo.
"A gentleman in New Orleans owns q
negro named Bill, who has had recently
some experience of the sweets of freedom.
The gentleman is very indulgcnt mas
ter, and Bill got spoit by living TOO easy,
and his master resolved to set him free
He accordingly sent him to Cincinnati
with letter To u friend there. When he
arrived, and presented - the documents"
he was informed that he WAS as free as
any negro in Ohio-,hat his master in
Louisiana had become di<pIeased with
him on account of his conduct, and had.
therefore sent him to "a free State to work
his passage through Etr "on his own
hook" The negro diin'r like the arran ge-
ment very much apparently. bat rs E"oi
employment was rendered him. he went
to work He had about 81 hundred dollars
in cash in his pocket. Two or three
weeks dissatisfied him with free labor,
if not with freedom. in Cincinnati. He
visited the towns on the Ohio. went To
Pi.tsburg and PhiIa !elphia. Thc farther
he went the more he became dissatisfied;
at last he returned to Cincinnati. and told
the gentleman to whom he was originally
accredited, that he was tired OF free
dom such as they had there, and that
nothing could afford him so much haPpi-
ness as for his oil master to take him back.
He was in great distress for fear he would
be refused. However, Bill was sent back
to New Orleans, and there is now with
his master; and the worst threa' that can
be made to the poor fellow is that If he
don't do right he'll be sent off TO the free
| free States To take care of himself,
