a degree of caution among Anti Slavery
men about receiving any thing as authen-
tic that it might say about colored Cana
dians, especially as, now that the John
Brown success has maddened the Southern
empire, every thing that can be said and
done to disparage the men engaged in it,
and particularly the colored men, will be
done. The false description of the "wiry
black" and also of F. J. Merriam, does not,
therefore, surprise any one here.
There has been systematic attempt to
underrate the bravery of the eolored men
who fought with Brown at Harper's Ferry
Shields Green and Copeland were at first
represented as "cry-babies and towards"
by the Virginians. Northern men, always
easily impressed when statement reflects
upon black men, saw only old John Brown
and seventeen white men, and an Aboli-
zionist sees in Cook, the coward and trai-
tor, braver man than any, where two
brave colored men are, when the facts one
day to be given by a man who fought and
did not leave his position until after the
capture of Captain Brown, will show that
no men at Harper's Ferry defended them
selves with more spirit than the colored
men, and no men filled more responsible
positions.
Should correct account of the Harper's
Ferry conflict ever reach the public, it can
only be given by or through the only liv-
ing witness now at liberty-O. P. Ander-
son, colored man, who in an eminent de-
gree possessed the confidence of John
Brown, and of whom no great Captain
would have reason to be ashamed. There
are, it is true, other men alive who were
with John Brown at the Kennedy Farm,
but no white man is known to be alive,
Except Stevens, now undergoing his trial
at Charlestown) who fought at the Fer
ry, or witnessed the encounter. Mr.. An
derson has been solicited to give an ac-
count of the event Will colored men

COLORED ELDERS
SEEKING WHITE PASTORS FOR COLORED
CONGREGATIONS.
NUMBER FOUR.

Such is our position in many parts OF
this Union that there are but few occupa-
tons or callings in which, as a class, we are
privileged to show to our enemies, who
are continually deerying US, that we are
capable of mental improvement. 1t is true
they believe we are fully capable to be as
other men physically-good enough to be
hewers of wood and drawers of water
good as beasts of burthen; but, as regards
any of the higher callings which white
men are engaged in, they deny our eff.
cheney.
How, then, can we give falsity to their
assertions? I answer, through our color.
ed ministers and school-masters. These
are our sentinels-these stand forth and
proclaim the SANDER false In many
States, although they have not gone so. fan
into barbarism and wickedness as to strike
US down in these callings, they have pre-,
vented colored men from becoming physi-
clans, lawyers, and, to some extent, me-
chanics, so that in these departments we
cannot produce DR.. Smiths, Attorney Nor
rises, &c, to prove our efficiency in these
directions. Hence, SO far as these avoca.
tions are concerned, white men can have
no proof of our capacy for intellectual ad-
vancement. But they may see much, and
be made to understand more, when they
enter our school-houses where colored
teachers are engaged, and our churches
where colored pastors preach. It is here
they may find denial of their favorite
dogmas that the negroes know nothing
and can be taught nothing Let the most
virulent enemy we have visit the high
school in the city Of Philadelphia; let him
visit the departments taught by Professor
E. D. Bassett, Mrs. S. NJ. Douglass, and
Miss G. A. Mapps, and he will come out
wiser and better man than when he en-
tered unless his heart be steeled to truth.

LETTER FROM NEWPORT.
NEWPORT, r. l., Jan. 80. 1860.

NEWPORT r. J., Jan. 80. 1860.
Mr.. EDroR:-Having left Stonington, it
may be proper TO state that the colored
people of that town are a very thriving
and respectable class. In point of intelli-
gence and respectability, they will CON-
pare with any community with which am
acquainted. Their moral worth is of the
highest order-and this l feel proud to see
and they are energetic in seeking to ac-
quire all those elements which constitute
true greatness. They are all comfortably
situated, and understand how to make 9TH
ers comfortable who may visit them. They
understand what courtesy, politeness, and
hospitality mean, and they practically ex-
emplify it. In this particular they arc
far, very far, in advance of some places
might mention. And here let me remark
that Mrs. Eliza Ward has large and we'll
furnished boarding house; and l can say
that no one who will visit Stonington and
stop there but will be as comfortable as
they could desire. hope, therefore, that
all our colored friends who visit that place
will take occasion to inquire for Mrs. Eliza
Ward, as she is entitled to and deserving
of the patronage of all who are fond Of
good living, good sleeping, and all else
which can make time pass off pleasantly.
On my way here passed through Pro-
vidence, remaining over one night. The
good people of that city are getting along
slowly. They, as class, are not as well
to do, nor do they get along as well as in
some other places. While there are many
families there who are highly intelligent,
respectable, and not lacking in any of those
qualities of mind and heart which dignity
and elevate the man and the woman, there
are others who are wanting in both, and
they should have teacher to instruct them
in the common rules of politeness and
courtesy. This idea does not attach itself
to but very few persons, and should this
meet their eye they know to whom it re-
fers. This 1 say for their own good, be-

OBEDIENCE TO THE MOTHER.

"Come away; come instantly, or will call
your father" heard mother say to her
child, who was playing in the street before
her window. ] did not stop to learn the
result, but | pitied the poor mother who
had not power within herself to control her
child, and who SO unhesitating declared
her ineffciency.
A mother should never thus appeal to
the fathers authority to strengthen her
own, nor should she admit, by thought,
word, or deed, that her power is inferior to
his. God never made it inferior, and he
requires as prompt obedience to the one
as to the other. The mother who allows
herself thus to appeal to another is contin-
ually weakening the authority she should
exercise over the children. She is herself
teaching them to disobey the command
ment which inculcates obedience to parents,
for what child can honor a mother too
weak to govern him2
