An eyo and ear witness has just related to US
the following case A man owned mother and
two children-one Girl Of seven or eight years
old, and the other babe nine months old
While the mother of the black child was at work
in the kitchen, her little one crawled about the
house for hours, until hungry and weary it crept
into the sitting room where the white mistress was
lounging. While there the little sister Of the
slave child came through the room, and the babe
moaningly put up its hands as she passed, to get
taken up from the floor. The mistress interfered
and whipped the little pleading hands, and forbade
tho sister from taking it Up. The child screamed
with pain and fright, and still stretched the little
bare arms to the sister for protecton-the mis-
tress still whipping them. The mother heard her
babe scream until her heart could bear it no long
er, and coming into the room respectfully told her
mistress that it was tired and hungry, and legged
to be permitted to nurse it. The mistress few at
the mother in furious passion, and tore the child
from her arms, driving her from the room, and
punished the child unit! it became quite quiet
from sheer exhaustion-the mt ther being compell-
ed to listen 70 the screams of her babe from anoth-
er room. When the master came in, his wife tod

Now, this mistress was perfect pattern OF slave

and ELIZA FoLLEN to the deepest hell, as infdes,
and regarded Northern relgiOnists as walking in

thunderbolts, beeause of their unbeliaf. Cruelty
and lying were virtuous in her estimation, in com
parison with the terrible crimnality of MrsChilis
Appeal and Uncle Toms Cabin. To half muir

SUFFRAGE AMENDMENT.

Our readers must not forget that one OF the ques-

involve the propriety of extending the right of
suffrage which is now granted to persons of .Afri-

the highest Importance, for the class to be effected
by the decision is small in numbers and still small

our political destuies. The whole cOlored popula

fruition Of his own folly. To these three charges
oppose the following facts: 1st no one but the
Editor of the Free Democrat ever advised him to
withdraw from the State. The advice of oil his
friends who rescued him and who protected him
in the region where he has been staying for the
past nine weeks, was decidedly emphatic not to-
withdraw from the State. Despotsm is not to be
put down by running away from it nigh: bo very
convenient for weak backed Republicans TO have

Of Saturday, chronicles the arrest of o number Of
negroes, the organization Of Vigilance Commit

point his gun at a party which was approaching
his cabin with the intention of searching it with
out the warrant Of law The excitement among
the people had just begun, and ii was impossible
to tell how far it might spread, or to what octs
violence it might lead.

Our Relations with Central and
South America.

Dispatches were received at the Depart
ment OF State Thursday morning from Cen
trail and South America. Professor Dimitry
informs the Department that he had presen
ted his credentials and was cordially rece iv-
ed by the Nicaraguan government. The
very best feeling is entertained towards the
United States, and every disposition mani
tested to bring about a speedy and satisia c.
tory adjustment of pending difficulties. The
convention recently =. negotiated between
Great Britain and Honduras, settling the
vexed and long pending questions respecting
the Bay Islands and the Mosquito protecto-
rate, will, it is believed, lead to "a p9rman-
emit settlement of the whole Central Ameri-
can imbroglio.
Dispatches from Peru represent the con-
dition of affairs there to be very unsatisiac-
tory, and her attitude towards the United
States as insulting. She peremptorily re-.
fused to render satisfaction to our govern
ment, where positive instructions had been
given to our Minister in two cases, demand
ing redress for fragrant violations of the
rights of American citizens. The govern
ment have now the whole matter before
them, and will undoubtedly take prompt
and decisive action in the premises, by send
ing one or two nen-of-war to look after this
matter.
