negro slaves ever did for their masters, and were sadly disappointed when experience proved that they would not work at all. The same class of historians so distorted truth and misrepresented historical events, as to lead their readers into the very gen. eral, but entirely erroneous, belief that Haytlen negro slaves won their liberty and established republican government by rising Tn rebellion against their masters. driving them from the island, and striking down those who opposed their freedom; whereas, the truth is, that, speaking in general terms, not drop of blood was shed by the negro slaves rising in rebellion against their masters
 Ii any Instances occurred, they were as unfrequent as instances of children murder Ing thelr parents, or wives their husbands. Torrents of blood flowed in Havti. but it was shed at Abolition altars, whose high priests were whate men, mostly honest, but deluded fanatics, who thought they were serving God and liberty, instead of British tyranny and mammon. Abolitionism would have lost its philanthropic peaceful and religious pretensions if the historians of Hayti had truthfully represented it, as blind but bloody tool of the British East India Company to rend Hayti from France by Africanizing that island under the de- fusion that they were making freemen and republicans out of the happy negro slaves. instead of miserable barbarians, who would not make pound of indigo, cotton or sugar, and thereby enable the East h. dla Company to monopolize the rich indi- go culture and trade.
 Prior to its Africanization, Havti pro- duced threefourths of the indigo of the whole world; since that event the East h. dies produce threefourths of all the indigo in the worlds markets. The Abolition of Phllo-Anglic press is already, in the face of facts, calling the recent outbreak at Harper,s Ferry, "a negro insurrection," evidently to hide, under the cover of name, the blood-stained Philo- -Anglomen, who paid for, planned and executed it. while wearing the cloak of philanthropy, peace and piety. All the fears and un- easlness at the South, at every idle rumor ot negro instruction, exist only among that portion of the Southern people with a Northern or British education, who have never taken the pains to study the negro character, but have constantly before their eyes that "baseless fabric of a vision" ''the terrible negro ansurrection of Haui," which Anglic and Philo-Anglic historians have placarded before their eyes in every school-room and library, and which the Abolition orators hoist on every rostrum as row heod and Woody- y-Jones to move the sympathies of the religious world, and, if possible, to terrify shareholders, who will not listen to prayers for the oppressed if for nothing else for the sake of their wives and children, to let their slaves % free
 But if they would read the Day Book, and study the negro character, they could not help precelvlng that such course would prove destructive to American liberty and civilization, north as well as south as it would be tantamount to the Africanization ot the southern states of the Union for the benefit of British tropical agriculture, and would break up American manufactures by destroying their southern market and their supplies of American cotton-throwing them on Europe for a market and on Brit lSh tropical possessions for cotton So far from there being any grounds for the Southern people to fear their negroes in hn'e of peace, they have always found these very negro slaves their strongest sheild in hnae 0t Wdr, and their most faithful and trustworthy allies in all their conflicts with ther enemies, whether British, Indians, MeXlcans, tories or abolitionists. When | r1n ar.Ia tt Tn the the Revolution, the negro slaves fed Washlngton's army. Madison and Mrs. Madison, when flying differnt ways, one in Maryland and one in Virginia, to prevent being captured by the British forces, which had burnt the capitol and President $ house, chose negro slaves to watch the roads and give them information of the movements ofthe British troops. White men might have betrayed them. The spaniel can not betrav his master nor can the negro. General Jackson led out the negro slaves, not from but to,cards the British army below New Orleans, and put them to work in throwing up breast work ot earth, five miles below the city, while he, with few shareholders and two hun ASt Ai"y u SlOCo, NiO Ildtl utu NIIl thelr masters from the civil war in that Island, which the oclitionists had lndled, pushed forward four miles beyond the line he had marked out for the breast work, and attacked the enemy in open field on the 22d of December, and by that bold maneuver ganied time for the negroes to finish the breast works. While the two regiments of Jamaca negroes which the British had brought with them fell on the ground quaking with fear because Mey lad no masters 10 inspire Mene acith courage the negroes in Gen. Jackson's little army, led on by their masters and their sons fought like tigers, and three times repulsed the British regulars and saved the American artillery.
 The fact that negro sldveS, and not cotton bales, were used by General Jackson in his defense of New Orleans, may not 5e neo to you, but It IS new to all that large class of the American people who have been content with reading no other histories of their own country than thoes written by their coun- try senemies, or the dupes oftheir country's enemies. The same class of British and Phllo- British historians, who fabricated the story ot an insurrection of the negro slaves Tn Hayti against their masters, to account for the expulsion of the white race from that Island, manufactured and slipped into history the story of the Jreastmork of cotton paies' as an apology for the defeat of the brush army before New Orleans. If they nad recorded the plain truth that power lui army of British veterans, who had scaled walls in Spain forty feet high, had oeen badly whipped by half their number ol American shareholders, aided by their negroes, these British historians knew full well would destroy the prestige of the britlsh veterans for invincibility. Hence they falslfied history by inventing the story | of the cotton bale breastworks to account for the defeat and to inculcate the idea of lnvlnclbility agains every place which had not cotton bales in sufficient abundance to make fortress mile or two long.
 As New Orleans is the only place which has cotton bales enough to make such an 1 immense breastwork, the inference natu- rally follows that it is the only city im-
