A few days ago some ladies from Gin
cinnati were passing down the Mississip |
pi. and while the boat was lying at the |
wharf near the plantation of one DR.. Hor |
ton, they walked out to view the premises. |
While making their observations. they
were approached By one Of the Dr.'s me-
groes who informed them that his Mas
SER was not receiving company that day.
The ladies paid out little attention to this
and were further continuing their walk.
when the negro returned again and in
formed them that "Masser" desired them
to leave the premises They were not so
hasty in their movements upon this sug-
gestion to meet the appreciation of the
DR.. and he appeared in person and stated
peremptorily his desire that they should
take their leave without any delay. One
OF the ladies become speaker for the party,
and stating that such display of polite
ness on his part had not been anticipated,
asked whether he would have any obiec-
tions to stating the reasons for his hospit-
able department The DR.. Immediately
stated the case as he understood it. with
great emphasis, aud some profanity. he
objected to his visitors not as individuals,
but in consequence of the section of the
Republic from which it was their misfor-
tune to appear to hail. He did not want
people, male or female. from so abolition a
hole as Cincinnati, prowlIng about his
premises
This is fine specimen of Southern gal
lantry and the Cincinnati Commercial,
from whose columns We take the above
suggests that il DR.. Horton is a fair repre-
sentative of the planters of Arkansas, he
should be Immediately sent to Congress
/. but if not, he should be tarred and feath
cred.
The suggestions are good and should bt
carried into immediate effect.
