LETTER FROM INDIANA.


WABASH RIVER, Ind, Sept. 10, 81.
Dear Independent =" Our remedies oft
in ourselves do le"-and right glad am
that it is so, for am, before a great while.
going to avail myself Of that power and
leave this latitnde. SoRaised in the South, I
am partial to her principles, and like the
bold and generous traits Of her citizens
have a good opinion of0this section Of my
country, but dislike, 4" most cordially" a por-
ton Of its inhabitants; the : nigger-loving,"
infatuated fools-who say they are, through
christian nsot;res, working for the abolition
Of slavery--snd who are, BY their own deeds,
in en,icirg from their masters and homes.
slaves into poverty and komelessness, bring
ing upon themselves curses, where, by as
sistipg those already among them, they
might receive blessings and the approving
smiles Of eharity-loving God.
Not long since I found myself in the hot
hole of Observation-Disclosures. 1t is a
lively city and pictures to a great extent the
energy and improvement Of the American
people. Af:er remaining short time / took
passage on the Ohio and Mississippi railroad
for Hoosierdom. Occupying a seat just in
front, were two " Buckeyes," to the Manor
born" The road from Cincinnati west leads
along the bank Of the Ohio river As far As
Aurora, in this State, distance Of about
thirty miles, and then DIVORCES off into the
country. One of the Aforesaid Buckeyes at
tempted by his imaginary eloqueuce to i'm
press upon the mind Of his co-trsveler the
horrors Of slavery-pointed to the pictu-
re. que and lovely" Kentucky shors-drew
glaring account Of the wretchedness hour
ly felt in that and other States by the poor
blacks, who are human, and have souls as
we'll as US, and should be allowed the priv
leges justly due them by the Constitution
right of fel!ow.hip-a1c.en are born equal.
His address WAS cut short by the whistle Of
the locomotive and the stopping OF the cas-
at North Bend-Gen. Harrison's old resi-
dence. Some few Of the passengers so.ort
to look at the " old place" and among them
were my two n~isbbors. Having been so
mu Oh edited With their convine;n1 remarks
| kept my eye on them. Not far fro,n the
station was carriage-;ts driver, . negro.
Soon Buckeye got sight Of hin, and wae as
soon At the fore wheel shaking the much
abused BY the hand with all the warmth ci
true friendship. Truly, l thought, core men
are born equal.
1t is almost impossible to ,.eep negro
within twenty miles CT the Ohio river on the
Kentucky edo. Many persons have lost all
their servants and are forced to rent out their
lands to tenants in order to have their lsrge
farms cultivated.
Could you heSr the language, ses the ges-
lures, used BY tAe croaken .; al men are
born equal" you would be both pleased and
provoked. Pleased at their ridiculous words,
ard provoked that men who occupy gencr.
ally good place in the community, should
use such wild expressions in regard to their
Southern brothers, and who have never been
south Of Mason and Dixon's Line. see
by the Republican sheets that Kansas is
:. bleeding" again. o, ye Southern hot
bloods! Why do you do sol Why DOM
you stand back that humanity may be spread
abroad and let the Black and White Rose
be grated together in order that they may
+ d;f,se their fragrance eqaHy over all.
! All the farmers are amply repaid for thei
! labor this year BY old mother earth, who i
fairly bowed down by the heavy yield Of al
kinds Of grain. Flour in Cincinnati wa
selling yesterday and day before at from
r s. 80 to IS. The Irish potatoe crop i
e generally heavy. Corn will soon be sold u
Is and 20 cts. per bushel.
. The Fairs held in every county gave tn
proper impetus to the farmer. Premium
e are awarded for the least articles up to th
] best cultivated farm. Old Catahoula shout
> try it.
The crisis in the money market is suppose
- to be over, as the Bankers are once NOR
