ENQUIRER At least assure us once again NJ .iiis
connection that Uncle TOMS Cabin is mere iissao
Of the imaginatip
1t will be seen that GREELEY quote 2the
recent slave case as sustaining the charges
apa;nst the South involved in "Uncle Toms
Cabin" Now, one of the grayest OF these
charges was the assertion, made without any
qualification whatever, that there 'cas no tdo
in the Southern States for the protection 81
the rights of the slace-not that the law was
Inadequate in its provisions, or was rarely
enforced-6ut that there acas absolutely no
sach thing as a lac upon the statute BOOKS
designed to guard the slave against the inhu-
manity of the master. Recollecting this, it is
really quite amusing to see one OF the defend
ers of Mrs. SrowE triumphantly quote, for
the purpose of arraying evidence in her sup
port, a case arising ont Of that cery ta'c schfch
she declares has no existence. If "Uncie
Toms Cabin were true, how could FAC
qUETTE have ever brought her case to hear
ing-what jurisdiction would Judge LARuE
have had in the premises And yet when
she does succeed in obtaining an audience
and even in establishing her freedom, the
case is quoted as proof that in theslave States
The negro has no right to appear at all in the
courts ofjustice!
But not TO hold the other side to SO strict an
account it is certain that Mrs. STOWE and
GREELEY have repeatedly maintained that
slaves are utterly without redress for injury
inflicted nv their masters Yet here was q
negro woman held in slavery who found nc
difficulty, in sugar and cotton growing
State, in getting a lawyer to undertake hel
case and in obtaining decree in her favor
from slaveholding Judge. Does this looh
J;ka an entire want ofthe means of redress OF
the part of the negro!
The gist of the complaint of the 1rsbun
! seems really to be, that TAcaUETTE did no
succeed in getting the $4,000 damages ant
Aa5 month"; for the time she had been un
lawfully detained in the possession of Mr.
LAMBETH. We do not doubt that If her law
yer had fully made out her case, the decree
would have accorded with the demand, al
though TAcQUETTE should have established
i an unusual value in her services to have jus
titled it. She complained of no hard usage
she was probably an ordinary field Inland, ant
had received her board and clothes in return
for her labor how many poor women II
New York does Mr.. GREELEY wot of whit
find it desperately hard thing to provide TO
their daily wants by their daily toll? How
many of them are there who have saved 50
a month out of their earnings, for the las
eight years? viii Mr.. GREELEY "speal
