MRS Stowe The Southern papers are
Just now making merry over a couple of reso-
lutions lately adopted by some colored mon in
Massachusetts,, in reference to Mrs. Stowe, AZ
follows:
Resolved, That when Mrs. Stowe promised
the colored people of this country large do
nation from the funds collected from her friends
and ours, in Europe, for the establishment Of q
school adapted to our wants, we rejoiced in
the hope of great and lasting good to our raco
from that noble enterprise.
RESOLVED, That her late refusal to make that
contribution in aid Of our elevation has filed
us with unfeigned regret and notification
and compelled us to believe that she has been
acted upon by other influences than the die
tates Of her own good heart"
The colored men who passed these resolu-
tons were guilty of the same folly as those
ro-Slavery papers are which hail them as OPP
perfume to their purpose. Both parties pro-
coed without due knowledge of the facts 1t
turns out that Mrs. Stowe never did promise q
9large donation of the kind mentioned above,
and hence cannot be reproached with break
ing her word. She received money when in
England which she promised to apply to the
work Of elevating the colored race, and is hon.
esty determined to redeem her promise but
she claims to be the best judge Of the objects
to which the money should be applied. The
oolored people themselves are divided in opin-
ion N to the practicability and value of the
school alluded to in the first resolution above,
and Mrs. Stowe has very wisely refrained from
aiding a movement that had not the general
confidence of those proposed to be benefited
by it. She has lately, however, given $1,000
in aid of a colored school established under
favorable auspices, and will doubtless faithfully
dispense whatever funds she has been intrnsted
with, in the way which shall best commend
itself to her judgment. Pittsburgh Gazette
