HORACE GREELEY MEETS WITH A RARE SLAVERY
ExTISCTIoNIsT-The following anecdote in counec-
tion with the veritable Horace Greeley, which oc-
Cured during his recent passage through St. Joseph,
we think worthy of being presented to the readers of
the Gazette:
Mr. Greeley when about leaving for Leavenworth,
was accompanied to the boat by his friend COL,
groes between this place and the South. The Col
onel, with the affabliy with which he is character
istic introduced the gentleman. Mr.. W., with great
warmth, seized the hand of Horace, saying, !" as
sure you sir, feel much honored by the acquaint-
ance of so distinguished gentleman, one whom
have always admired for his talent and felt grateful
for his philanthropy Believe me, sir, you doing
much good for the cause n this part Of the country.
Accept the thanks of an humble member of society.
No one feels more deep interest in your efforts than
myself | wish you much success"
" Indeed, replied Mr.. Greeley " am happy to
hear such sentiments and to see such men as your
self and Col. - where did not expect the least
sympathy in this land where the iniquity of the ma
tion is SO firmly rooted. God be praised the work
goes bravely on.''
.. With your aid,' returned Mr.. W., slavery will
soon cease to exist in Missouri. The number of
slaves is now fast decreasing" Here Mr. G. attempt
ed to withdraw with his new found friend from OBJ.
servation. Mr.. w. continued, "I am myself doing
something towards removing them. Only last week
took away thirteen"
"My good friend, how where to 2"
Ct To New Orleans.'
'' Great God y exclaimed Horace, q what q dealer
in human souls ?n
Yes, sir, if that is what you call it. buy and
sell negroes am indebted to you for the profits of
my business. Shareholders here sell me their slaves
for half their value in the South, to keep your dis
ciples from stealing them.' [St. Joseph Gazette.
