HOW JERRY BOUGHT HIS FREEDOM ;
OR, A NUT FOR ABoLlTIoNIsTs,

An incident recently happened in a neighborin,
State between master and slave, which ought to g,
tar to check the mischievousi ntermeddling of A6o
Etionists with our slave population, the details o
which We here give, without any attempt at extra
display or fiction. The story, simply as we relate
it, will prove quite amusing, we fancy.
A gentleman Of Ample fortune, and extensively
known as one of the most humane masters, a kind
neighbor, h~igh-minded, honorable, and influential,
owned a favorite servant man named Jerry. Jerry

was beloved by his "Massa George" for his sobrie-

quite intelligent. Jerry prIded himself on his
honor much more than many "white folks" do. as
our story will show. lie was petted by the fam.
ly and generally permitted to do pretty much as
he pleased. His master allowed him to work at

TO A BLACKBIRD.
the printer.
BY JAMES HURNARD.

Sing, bonny blackbird thy melodious lay
Proves that thy breast some heavenly spark con.
tains:
Love, JOY, and pride distend thy little veins
As they do mine. Thou need'st nat fear my
stay.
While such a bond Of sympathy remains
| will not harm thee l will never play
The kidnapper, and rifle thee away
Forever from thy native hawthorn lanes;
Rob thee of freedom till thy dying day,
Far from thy sorrowing mate and while thy pain,
Wiring from thy ebon breast sweet plaintive strains
Gloat Ger the wrongs that on thy spirit weigh
Life, love, and liberty thou shalt not lack,
Nor be my slave because thy hue is black.

We cut the following story, title and all, from a
' Virginia paper. 1t is a very good story, and true
enough for aught we know, bur we do not see why
it is styled a nut for abOlitionists." We find no
difficulty in cracking it. at any rate. We think.
however, it is a decided iaw-breaker for slavehoId-
ers. Ii the writer Of the story can deduce from it
an argument against emancipation, we should be
glad to see it. Jerry" it seems to us, appears to
far greater advantage, and far more worthy of
freedom than 'Massa George" The latter "gen-
tleman," it appears, had kept Jerry at work for
many years, aud instead of paying him, had inva-
riably cheated him ont Of his pages. Year after
year, his own back had been covered with clothing
and his own belly filled with food by Jerry's labor.
At last Jerry, though admitted to have been one
Of the kindly treated slaves asks to be made free ;
he is willing to pay for his freedom, and his thiey-
ish, lazy master, in addition to cheating him out
of his wages for many years, swindles him out of
several hundred dollars more, and evidently takes
considerable credit to himself that be did not
make the swindle still larger. Jerry could raise
only live hundred dollars, which his lazy and dis
honest master seized, and took q note for the re.
naming three hundred, confident that Jerry will
be tritty enough to earn the money, and grateful
enough to pay It.
What this story proves against "the abolition,
lists" 1t is difficult to see. Does it prove that
slaves, even the kindly treated, do not desire to be
free? Does it prove that they are not honest
enough to live in civilized society? Does it prove
that they are not wide-wake enough to take
care of themselves 2" Does it prove that the sys.
tenn that enslaves hundreds of thousands of Jerrie.
is an equitable one, and worth extending aud per
petuating? Does it prove that Northern cite.
and villages ought to be the scene of blood hound
hunts after ferries who choose to take their free
dom without paying for it? Does il prove thai
