evening of the 18th July, a few friends whose SYM
pathy for the Indian tribes had been awakened by
the revelations made in Mr.. Blossoms late work,
assembled for private consultation as to The meas
ures best calculated to afford relief to these out

best to refer the whole matter to n committee of
thirteen. This was accordingly done, with i~nstruc,

A FACT FOR THE AUTHOR OF THE "Souru SIDE

communicates the following fact:
A gentleman Of the first responsibility, residing
at Savannah, Ga, informed me that he sawi a ten
gallon demijohn filled with wine in a store ON Sab,
bath morning, and he followed the man who took it
to the colored church of that city, where there was
a meeting of the colored churches for communion
and lie said they drank nearly the whole of it
"Did they drink more" ! asked, ethan is general.
ly used for that purpose by other churches?" 80
yes" he replied, 81 never saw such drinking of
wine in my life!" The number that partook at
that time was estimated to be about eighty, which
would afford them about IA pint each. 1t is worthy
of remark that this is the church where tho author
of the "South Side View of Slavery" saw such re-
markable evidences Of piety while he was worship
ing there.
1t is further related that the pastor of this church
a colored man, was helped to the purchase of
three slaves, in order that be might be an example
of a slaveholding minister preaching the Gospel to
slaves of his own race! This is the piety which
the author of the "South Side View" SO rcligiously
commended!

Nowburyport for any benevolent ogbject its author
tiles may specify. Mr.. r., since his visit to this
country-about a yoar-has donated more than
half a million of dollars, and yet so vast is his
bushes in England, that he is said to have made
moro than that sum during his visit here.
